Some additional tips: You can warp to your home planet no matter where you are, so until you start upgrading your ship's size it might be a good idea to use your home planet as a small base for stuff like farming, leaving more space on your ship for your crafting kit and storage lockers. Pickaxes now cost 2 bars of the material they are made from and cannot be repaired or upgraded, but don't go hog wild with gold picks at first, copper ones work just fine and you'll stop making picks once you've upgraded the matter manipulator a few times. Save 10 copper bars and 10 silver bars for the initial two upgrades for the MM, this increases range and gives you the ability to harvest liquids, a necessity for progression. Core Fragments are located deep underground, they glow and are easily found once you've dug deep enough. Mining camps on Lush worlds are a great way to get copper and iron ore without having to mine for it. Coffee seeds can be bought at Terramart on the Outpost or found on Forest worlds. Coal and wood are not fuel anymore, you need to either buy fuel from the gas station at the Outpost or suck up delicious moon goo once you've finished the Moonbase quest. Radioactive ores still count as fuel too, they are found on Radioactive planets. Oil is found in tar biomes on Desert planets, and necessary for making steel, don't forget to collect some sand while you're there and make a glass mug, you'll need it. Yes, you do need to make a bug net and collect a bug for progression.

Latest update just added an experimental 64bit build for OpenGL. E: In 64bit the mobs on my already generated worlds have changed and one just dropped bandages.

Dunno if any of you knew this, but yanno how you can walk along a 4 block high tunnel but if it moves up or down a block without it being 5 high you either get stuck and have to dig yourself out, get killed, or knocked back? Hold down s and rapidly tap a or d for the direction you want to move, you'll slowly climb up or down. Example of Tinalbot v8 halfway up a 4 block tall 45* tunnel:  E: The door is locked though.  EE: I think this could be exploitable against humanoid-height mobs that can't do ranged damage but are normally beyond your ability to kill, just climb into a 4 block high incline and shoot them while they vainly attempt to eat your rusty innards. 3E: You can use this to bypass some of the rubble piles in the moon facility without needing the dash tech enabled.

Wee Tinkle Wand posted:Someone else found a rocketlauncher that does 329 damage per shot and can be shot twice before you run out of energy, or three times if you wait a moment between shots. It's oneshotting the creepy pink dudes and leaves the mutants at 1 bar so they die to one more hit from anything. So it must be randomish. I haven't found one of those. The room in my screenshot a few posts back is completely inaccessible but there's a crate in there that I'm willing to bet has something awesome inside. The tunnel that leads into it from the top has a point that is 3 blocks high and the hold-s-down-and-rapidly-hit-a-or-d trick doesn't work.

Jusupov posted:Can you use the dash or pulse jump to pass through the first boss' energy beams without taking damage? No, you can't, a shield negates the damage if you're ideally located. A few tips for the boss: Grind up cooking recipes (cook all the things), as you get better foods you get things like hitpoint boosts, longer healing times, and energy regen amongst other effects (cactus juice makes you thorny). Once you've gotten a food item that adds hp and regens health bring it along and wait until you've gotten hit by the beams twice, then eat it and use a bandage, you should heal fast enough to survive another two hits, possibly more if you are quick with the bandages. Explore your starting solar system, you might get lucky and find a planet or two with the deformed apex in cages, they drop stims which can also help make the boss easier to handle. If you've died a bunch of times and are getting frustrated and just want it to be over, type /admin.

Heh, I died about 5 times to it before I realized I could heal myself mid-fight and ignore the beams.

Davoren posted: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. Wow, that sucks, there should be a black tech card at the end of both for a total of 3 per lab.

Is having the outpost merchants selling what appears to be every possible decorative block normal? That's a long as gently caress list and the lack of a search function makes finding things like eggs and milk in the list a tedious process, especially since you can't grab the scrollbar and move it. E: It would appear that everything also shows up in my crafting tables. BUG SPOTTED Fermented Tinal fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Jan 30, 2015 |

Bilal posted:Do you have admin mode on? It enables all crafting recipes in all the different dialogue boxes. I actually don't. E: I enabled admin when doing the erchius mine quest because I am bad at platformers and got sick of dying not to the boss but to fall damage, then I turned it off. I can't teleport from indoors/underground, but every crafting recipe is enabled. EE: Re-enabling and re-disabling admin mode fixed it.

Section Z posted:So, deleting and creating a new character today after about 10 minutes of busywork the other night (Now I actually have techs listed in my computer! So getting Tech cards will not be completely useless) still sends me to the same garden world. All the trees and coal right by the teleport in port are still gone The mine boss isn't impossible without admin mode, it's just really hard, especially if you are like me and bad at video games. You definitely need at least double jump and the bubble that negates fall damage along with a healthy stock of bandages, red stims, and a good food item.

Babe Magnet posted:Your universe is always the same once it's generated, no matter what character you're playing. You run into the problem of emptying your starting world out yeah, but you also get the benefit of letting your high level characters drop off materials for your low levels to help yourself power through the starter quests and get them going. If you want to reset everything, delete your universe files in the giraffe_storage folder in your Starbound directory. This won't effect your characters or their ships, but it will completely regen everything else next time you play. This is why building isn't really as pointless and some people think, building a well-stocked base on the starter world filled with good stuff is almost easy mode for new characters.

XboxPants posted:Pretty sure both asteroids & moons are completely barren and exist just for building, right now. The asteroid fields aren't gonna stay like that, but they decided to include them as-is rather than not include them at all. There's "barren and lifeless" worlds which are also meant for construction.

Those were another "Oh god this is AMAZING!" thing from old stable for being able to plant and harvest that much at once. Diamond Drill became my stand in for a chainsaw back then.

StringOfLetters posted:I filled my Fishman space ship mostly with water (you have to put background tiles over the windows&doors or else it leaks out) and have reached kind of a stumbling point. Is there a way to design a water-lock in two dimensions with no pumps? (E.g. to cycle through and enter the flooded aft compartments without leaking) There are doors, liquid sensors, and gravity to work with. I've seen it mentioned on the forums that people have successfully done it, but I have no idea how. It's possible, somehow.
