Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Starbound Beta Thread - Begins December 4th!
- Thread starter Retro
- Start date
Introducing Lissar's Mod-nado (Xenoblade Monado Mod)!
The mod is meant to give you Monado as a starter weapon (it does not replace your original starter weapon, but will be in the ship inventory along with it). Then you can upgrade it as you play through the game. It's currently upgradeable through Tier 4 (I'll add tiers as they become available to us in the game).
I am using a different way to load mods, rather than editing the original files:
http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/the-proper-way-to-install-mods.41929/
Check this out for more information. It does mean that if you've edited your player.config you'll want to take those edits and put them into the player.config in the Monado folder, but it's much easier to uninstall or replace a mod with a new version with this method.

Enjoy!
All right, deleted everything to wipe out my modded stuff, re-downloaded for a proper fresh start.
My starting planet has an Apex city immediately to the left of the spawn:
-24571154 / -75130629. Alpha Alifa 6645 IIa
There's a record player in there with some sick monkey beats. I'm not even joking.

You could do that yes. You can also create a recipe where you can craft the Monado yourself. Just go into the recipe folder and open up one of the recipe files and change the input items to something easy (like 30 pixels) and have the output be "monado" rather than monado2 or whatever (then of course save it in a separate .recipe file).
I thought about making the Monado craftable, but it seemed against the spirit of it to have infinite Monados.

I think I may have found the coordinates of my old world, there is a file in the Universe folder where the timestamp matches the one of my old character:
alpha_53072235_-50473068_-10753961_6_5 .world
but can someone tell me how to translate these numbers into proper ingame coordinates? There are obviously two sets of numbers too much here :/

Here's a nice easy way to dig descent-friendly tunnels:
Just aim two tiles under your character, dig down once to get started, and then you can hold in one direction while keeping your mouse held down. It'll keep digging and make this pattern which is pretty quick to get down without needing much manual intervention. Mostly fallproof and you don't need platforms. (Edit: holding the movement key down might make for shorter "steps" - better to tap it when you need to move over after digging down 6 or so)

Finding sand/gravel pits is the best way to get ore. It's ridiculous. I just got like 50 gold, 30 silver, like 40 coal and a shit load of iron from a reall choice gravel pit, then I find a nice sandpit right next to it with similar results.

Then my game crashed.

I preffer a little faster way:
You can even dive into lava instead of water - just little HP loss
Sorry if this has already been answered, but first: were planets wiped? Were people able to return to their old stuff? And second: is there a way to get back to a planet without knowing its name but having its coordinates? I didn't know I'd need to have the planet name as well.
I love that you can swim straight away in this, I still find myself avoiding pools of water because I'm used to Terraria's swimming (or lack thereof without the flippers). That and the flashlight, I find myself stopping while exploring just to whirl it around.
Someone mentioned this already, I want something like the familiar wig from Terraria so I can see my Apex's face while wearing a helmet. I hated that all characters ended up looking the same in Terraria until the wig came along, I'm hoping something similar shows up here.

That gif is not mine (found it somewhere on reddit). But yeah, method works great.
Me too, yesterday.
Liking it so far, although things start far slower than I thought. I quite like the slow burn of gradual progress and discovery, but is the only way usually down? I've started digging a tunnel under my crappy house, but haven't come across any ore besides copper yet...
I want to spend more time up on the surface, but I don't feel like there's much waiting for me other than lots of fights with creatures. Also things feel quite claustrophobic even up there - is there a way to zoom out the default view like in some of your screenshots?
Yeah, Terraria mechanics are still entirely valid here.
Depending on the planet, there could be villages/dungeons/other settlements. You can also go up!

So guys, how can I get on to the GAF server?
EDIT: I've tried making my own and all I get are errors.

Okay, I figured it out. But can I play this MP without port forwarding? I don't have access to change those settings.
Yeah, even using the normal (non-OpenGL) client, normal zoom, 4.2 GHz i5, GTX 770, I was getting constant 51-52 fps with a single bird around. After the bird was gone, 60 fps.

man, its ridiculously easy to add a new item to the game.
here's some guns from halo i just made.
might make the whole set of these. im expecting all sorts of gun sets from other games being modded in.

Has there ever been any guidance from Valve on the legal rules of workshop/mod stuff? With Scribblenauts, I think they kept having to delete anything that used official names, or stuff that even looked too close to Mario, Yoshi, etc.
I would be happy to have a workshop if I made a game, but it seems like an area you would have to worry about if you became a popular game. Maybe companies don't care anymore though!

i did mine by just playing around with the code for guns. but i think their forums are a pretty good place to start.

Make a Gun
Edit: theres not much since game just came out, but its a start. the modding is going to be crazy for this game.
No youtube..so I can watch @ work?

i haven't seen much for modding tutorial videos yet unfortunately.
Edit: ah, heres one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBVXYWhHK28#t=1199
they need to be installed on the server and each players computer to view them. id imagine they'll have some thing that auto installs mods when you enter a server, but i don't think that exists yet. haven't done much mp yet to be honest.

Did they mess with ore drop rates? Finding diamond all over the place on my starting world

Right now the highest DPS i found (after the update) is 11. And it was a tier2 weapon.
A gun would be useful. And hide yourself in a house and let some spaces open where you can shoot at the enemy.
I started a new character, joined a multiplayer server, and got hit by 61-damage elemental-spitting ranged birds at the spawn location. You people weren't kidding that the birds are brutal.
Also, is there a hotkey for beam up/beam down? I haven't yet tried beaming up from inside a cave but I am guessing it might not work.
What? My character from last week was gone today.

All Hotkeys are in the logs (I thing its Control yourself book). And as far as i know there is no Hotkey. And Beaming up in a cave doesnt work. I havent played around how it might work (If you simply dig down it could work).

We thought there was going to be a second wipe to fix the crafting bug, but apparently the developers had their shit more together than we gave them credit for.

Before the first wipe I wrote down the coordinates of both the Gaf1 and Gaf2 planets, but none of the file-name numbers in the folder were associated with these coordinates. Hence, I don't think these numbers are proper in-game coordinates. Can anyone confirm or reject this observation?

Anyone want to help me get connected? I put in the server info and I get an error. Do I need port forwarding?
Somehow, my starter planet is loaded with silver and iron, even gold and a few patches of diamond relatively close to the surface... but very little coal and even less copper. It's made progression absurdly difficult.
I'm going to try jumping to the nearest planet tomorrow and see what I can dig up. I've got a nice little base of operations set up though, screenshots tomorrow.
