Starbound Beta Thread - Begins December 4th!

Got back to this after a week and my constructions had disappeared and I have an home planet with a base and some tents. My quests were also reseted.

I guess that's the price of being in the beta, I'm still having fun even if I really don't know what to do know. Digging for resources is not the most fun but the scenarios are pretty enough to make it more interesting.

I'm still at the beginning of course but I wanted to share my return to it I guess.
 
I really shouldn't be the one building up gafworld...

I'm going guncrazy with turrets lol.

I haven't messed with turrets yet. I wanted to do something cool with skyrails but I really don't like them as much as I want to =/ Using a tech for them just isn't fun and since they're platforms you can just run around on em anyway instead. The tech part is even less appealing when I could just stay on Bubble Boost instead and get wherever I'm going faster and more efficiently x.x

I want to rebuild on gafworld, I was the first on this map but well, it didn't last long haha.
 
Bought the game a few days ago. I'm enjoying it so far, but I had a hard time understanding how to play in the beginning (especially how to cook raw meat) (pressing "E" next to a fireplace didn't occur to me)
(don't judge me)
.

I'm getting the hang of it now. I've just got to build a distress beacon next.
 
I'll join the GAF planet, if it's up.

edit: Says wrong password each time.

edit2: BTW how do I get more quests once in beta sector?
 
Apparently meteors just damage the environment and not players or npc's...

I took a direct hit

There was a hotfix for a few bugs for angry koala, so there is an angry koala v2. Try patching the game.

edit: Server seems down anyways from what I can tell.

Server seemsto stay up a lot longer before crashing. Before, it used to crash around 6pm. Now it seems it can go for another 2 to 3 hrs before it kicks in.

Server should be back up.
 
Server looked like it crashed while I was sleeping. Should be back up now.

Was anyone on it when it crashed?

I couldn't get into the game. It would just freeze on the multiplayer IP screen, then would have to reboot the game.

I'm in the server right now. Doesn't appear anyone else is active, which isn't entirely bad. It's giving me time to learn how to play without cunts trapping me in a box.
 
I think they should go in the other direction and add a penalty-free mode. The time sink of having to run back to where you were is enough.
 
Now if we can only take care of the GAFWorld corruption/save delete... we'd be golden.

(Technically, working on a plan for that)
 
I just lost half my game... Quests are back to the beginning, my ship is empty apart from starting equipment, but everything I had on me remains. Now I have two matter manipulators, lol.
 
If the next update is the last character / universe wipe, it's going to be full tilt for me. The stack of building sketches and doodles is pretty thick at this point, I need to distill them down to their essential ideas and see what comes out.
