Had the same thing happen. Had to do the boss again, but got an extra tech card.
Wonder why they went with putting a gateway in every solar system instead of just having it as a teleport option. They're all identical, right?

Seems a bit more difficult now that enemies dont seem to get knocked back that much from attacks. I hope they improved the guns.
So far, like how they've handled combat, though I can't see myself using a 2H melee weapon very much. Being able to block is pretty great right now. Especially if you can time the perfect block to take no damage to yourself or the block meter. Guns can let you get away with not having to block as much, but then you have to deal with energy and having to aim better.

Finally beat that stupid crystal boss thingy after dying so many times to stupid stuff.
Time to explore the universe!

I have the same problem. My daughter used to play this with me on a really old laptop we have. It always ran fine, but after the patch it's a total slideshow. I don't even think it gets 1 frame per second lol.
Hope it's just a bug and she can start playing on it again.

Can I save my world somehow?
I built so many stuff don't want it wiped : /
Edit: NVM im blind.
Because of all these changes, we recommend that everyone start a new character," writes Chucklefish's 'mollygos'. "The game has changed so drastically that you’d miss out on most of the new content if you simply used an old character. As a result, the launcher will automatically rename your old data. We may be releasing external tools in the next few weeks to import and convert these files to approximately equivalent characters, but unless and until then they will be unusable."

I really need to make a homebase somewhere in single player.
I need room on my ship for decor.

How do you repair pickaxes now? They lose durability so fast I have to end up making like 10 of them before going deeper down.

Are screenshots not working? I tried to take on using F12 but it crashed my game.

You don't. The matter manipulator becomes the main digging tool, especially once upgraded.
Nope, still appears to be down.
thats unfortunate
the deed is done. anything good on my unstable character is now on my new main
i just got you a TON of Building Materials
Eh? Just got home. How long has the server been down?
EDIT: Server is back up. It appears that the program did crash.
If the server does go down, someone just PM me, I religiously check GAF constantly, and I have remote access to the server through my phone, so I can at least remotely reactivate the program if needed.

a couple hours.
also, incoming hotfix
also, how long has there been a 64-bit exe?
*edit* patch adds 64 bit exe option to launcher. and here i was about to do that manually
Just noticed the 64-bit thing. I'm gonna try running the server in that.
Also trying a new utility to see if it auto-restarts in case of crash.

I honestly was expecting another wipe, considering how they changed up so much in the first place.

I only remember them saying it would be the end of character wipes last time (hecne me buying it), but I'm still not too bothered.
I did have an extremely elaborate base on a sector X world that I'm a little bummed about losing haha..
The server? Its been up for the last hour or so.
i guess i should have checked. whoops
Meh, still can't get a sort of auto-start to work on this thing. Not really sure why the server decides to crash if its not turned on manually.
Anyway... looks like there was a tiny update that was pushed to the stable today. Very tiny, it might be fixes for some things.

Look at the system view on the nav computer. One of the planets will be different looking. Proceed from there! (you don't need fuel to use the thrusters in your current solar system).

Got the mining facility boss but kept getting my butt kicked. Decided that though I was all in steel armor, I'd need a stronger gun (my gun was only hitting the basic mobs for 1/6 of their health per hit. I was going through bandages just getting to the boss like crazy.
So I decide to grind some ore on a desert planet (and DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE for some oil) when I'm hundreds of feet below ground and FIND a three times more powerful gun. That was nice!
Then in the next big area? Treasure chest. With a tech card.
I broke out in song..."Ooooo child, things are going to get easier..."

Are the dungeon bosses still cheesable?
I remember having a grenade launcher and it owned all of the bosses through the walls.

You can't build in dungeons (not even to place torches) so... no.
The tutorial missions suck if you've played this kind of game before.
There should be an option to skip straight to the core fragments section I think.
So far I'm having fun though. Much better than before the update.
I just pray they give us weekly/monthly updates. And please no more wipes.

So I tried playing the game again and was very enthusiastic when I saw the new content. However I had to exit the game within thirty minutes because the stuttering would. Not. Stop. Seriously, on both a Mac and a gaming pc, I couldn't comfortably play at 60fps. Far from it. That's really a bummer. I'll wait for the next update.
Meh. Server should be back up.

I had got to a village last night and the game started lagging terribly. Im on a 4670 with 16gb ram and a 7850 and before the patch this never even flinched. The outpost also lagged bad. When I left the village it would still run somewhat bad and only let up when I beamed back to the ship.
Not even sure I wanna continue playing until they fix this now.
EDIT: Also it seems like the music sounds kinda muffled even fiddling with the options doesnt seems to fix it well which is a shame since I love the soundtrack for this.

Here's another fun one. I was shift clicking items into a wooden crate when it crashed.
I've always been good with QA, so finding bugs comes naturally.
EDIT: This has happened 4 times in the span of an hour.

Well, at least it allows me to get some materials from SP while i wait for the server to go up
My floran trapped cargo ship needs work.
I love it how it only goes down when I'm either asleep or at work. I might have figured out a way to auto restart the server though. But I won't be able to implement it until later today.
Server is back up.
Just got back home, it hasn't crashed, but it's not doing anything and I can't seem to close it.
Let me mess with this thing for a bit. I'll post when server is ready. However, I would like to point out that for once, it might not be the actual program's fault, might be a hardware issue.
UPDATE: *sigh*
Figures, the hard drive on the computer I was running the server has gone bad. Really bad. Can't even recover the data user files for Starbound.
I'll be running the server on my main computer for now, until I can figure out the HD issue. Since I couldnt recover the files, the universe is starting from scratch (sorry Retro!).
Server should be up momentarily.
