Never played the unstable branch, so I'm liking a lot of the new changes, especially the quests and upgrades on the computer. I guess I have to go to this desert planet to find fuel, but I'm getting wrecked even with no contact damage from monsters. I guess it doesn't help that there's a shitload of dudes with machineguns all over the surface.

Wow, Apex labs are really unfun now. I just found one with a tech chest behind a locked door, and some kind of reactor thing behind double locked doors. I went through the two obstacle courses available there multiple times, which was awful, and nothing else seemed to open up despite both branches having a pressure pad at the very end. Edit: Googled the issue, and found a thread on the Starbound forums from folks who are also encountering this problem, and a classy post from a moderator: quote:There's currently an open thread for this issue: http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/dungeon-generation-bug.87507/ Davoren fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Jan 30, 2015 |

Weird, I still think something must have been broken, in the end, when I'd run out of bandages, I turned on admin mode to get back through the traps after pressing the pressure pad, something must be going wrong because theres no way I can go any faster.

Lenses would be easy to justify using existing resources, just have early tier lenses be glass in a frame of whatever metal, and later ones be diamond in higher tier metal modules, then you just have to say they're exhausted when the metal burns up or something. Would give a good reason to go after resources that aren't used for much any more.

I love the climbing rope in this game, it just sucks using up 1 rope every time I want to climb up or down something our swing across a gap... Our would also make me less inclined to just use the 8 Quinton dirt to bridge a gap or help me climb. Later on you can craft an infinitely reusable grappling hook.

Yeah, just like there's a lot of neat environmental stuff going on that you never have to deal with, there are a lot of neat tools you don't get early enough or might never find at all. Yesterday I found an ice axe that you equip like a weapon, when you touch a wall and click with it you'll hang there. Unfortunately I'd already built the grappling hook, had the targeted blink and pulse jump equipped and rocket boots unlocked, so I used it once, thought 'neat' then never touched it again.

There's some great ideas on flashlights here, I mean, the devs love progression and choosing between stuff, be it weapons or techs or whatever, so they could even tie it into that. Give another equipment slot, call it gadgets or whatever, and have you build and find stuff to go in it. You could start with a lovely flashlight in there, and have to work up to the equivalent of the one you start with seeing as it would be an option to have it always on now. Maybe put the rail rider functionality into a gadget, this theoretical equipment slot would be always passively on, so it would work when you touch a rail, but that wouldn't be a problem as you wouldn't equip it unless you wanted to use it. This would also be a great place to have mineral or lifeform scanners, something the shape of a flashlight beam that would reveal whatever it was tuned to, with higher tier ones revealing more stuff at a greater range. This idea is somewhat exciting though so we may never see anything like it. Edit: On pixels, yeah I have an upper tier character now, so there's a nice little box full of portable pixel printers on the starter world to provide my new characters with a real source of healing.

Heck yeah give us drones and turrets in our space game. That made me think of something I wanted to ask, there's pet slots on the inventory screen right? Anyone found anything to go in them yet? I found the secret cat on the mine level but it seems all you can do with that is stuff it in a capture ball and have it wander around your ship.

Picks are useful but I'm happy enough with the speed of the upgraded manipulator not to bother about cluttering my inventory with more consumables, though I'll use them if I happen to find them. Speaking if asteroids, are the asteroid fields you can fly to just barren now? I've visited some and as far as I can tell they don't have any of the monsters, ore, or cool bases that they used to.

I spent all night building a fancy-rear end space mansion on my starter world out of all the ship walls I've been saving up, can't wait for the next wipe! Does grass not grow on dirt? Even before I dug everything up today some of the ground I laid has been bare dirt for a while. Also I haven't really been paying attention so I had no idea there was a goon server, I'll definitely come check it out.

I downloaded this cool Metroid armor pack, but it's for an old version, I changed the version from whatever koala to whatever giraffe in the modinfo file, but it still crashes my game when I launch it, any tips? Edit: it's this one: http://www.nexusmods.com/starbound/mods/196/ I'll look at what I need to do to update it tomorow, if I have any luck I'll post it here.

Alright so I'm looking at existing armor mods for giraffe to try and figure out how to update an old abandoned one, and I'm having a problem with the player.config thing, I think. This old mod has a player.config with a merge function at the top, and newer ones seem to use a player.config.patch file with entries for each armor item. However, if I try to use a player.config.patch file, I get an error about a missing player.config file. If I try to use that, I get an error about humanoidtiming. Any tips? Edit: Also I've been trying to follow this tutorial where I can but it's concise enough to make me think I'm on the right track while simultaneously being too vague to be any real help, even with the downloaded example. Or maybe I'm just dumb. Davoren fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Feb 15, 2015 |

I mistakenly went down to a snowy planet with the wrong nanoskin, and I actually did slide around while moving down there, so not only does the skin protect you from cold, it protects you from sliding on ice, kinda lame.

I really just want them to finish the game, even if they say 'gently caress it' and leave it a poorly implemented mess. I've been enjoying building poo poo, but I don't want to get too attached or put too much time into my structures when there's probably gonna be more wipes. Honestly, no matter what they release I'm probably going to be changing lots of stuff with mods, so the quality of what they sign off on isn't such a huge deal.

This sounds cool in passing, but this whole thing about needing certain stuff to attract certain NPC's, who might need some room set aside for the unique crafting stuff they'll put down, sounds really arbitrary and impossible to figure out on your own. It'll just be another progression grind, albeit one you'll need to follow a guide for.
