I can't imagine it being any good on Vita; game just doesn't play like it would work on that interface.

Terraria was fantastic on the 360(superior even to PC, *control wise), I imagine if they do the controls similar to the 360 with the benefit of touch it would play great.

Also: Draft of patch notes - Linky

edit:

Hmm, from my (albeit limited) experience with the 360 version of Terraria I'd disagree. But if you enjoyed it then no doubt others could.

EDIT: Nom, patch notes!

Did not mean to come off hostile :3 . My gf and I enjoy the 360 controllers more than PC but our first experience with terraria was on the 360, so that may be why we prefer it. I totally understand why someone wouldn't enjoy playing it if was the other way around.

Think about it though, SB on a mobile platform would be glorious, so all they need to do is make the controllers serviceable.

[11:47] <@OmnipotentEntity> meepgofish, it's uploading now

Patch very soon

 

[Cerity]

going for broke with my F5

 

[Nohar]

I'm waiting for this patch to play the game again. I can hardly wait.

Good thing you wont have to wait long!!! HNNNGGGGGGGGGGG

HYPE TRAIN HYPE TRAIN HYPE TRAIN!!! choooo chooooo

 

[Archie]

Steam is patching. 482 megs.

 

[HaRyu]

Give me a bit to actually download the update, and do a quick test on the server. I'll post when the server is back up.

 

[Easy_D]

Now that the final character wipe is here I feel ready to get invested for reals and join my fellow Gaffers in jolly cooperation

 

[HaRyu]

The 1.2 update had the game use UPnP to automatically portforward when hosting.
I mean I can get it to port forward myself, but it can be a hassle some times.

Was just looking over the config files for Starbound (and comparing them to old configs, just in case there's anything new), and it looks like we've always had UPnP in Starbound. Its right there in the config files, and its already set to True (activated).

 

[HaRyu]

Aaaand seperate post, just because.

Server is now live. Quote the OP for server details, for those who havent been on before.

I personally won't be on the server for a good couple of hours, apparently, right after I found out about the update going live, I was called into work... *sigh*

Oh, still havent friggin figured out how to set the start planet. Coordinates for GAFWorld is still Alpha(1212,0). I AM OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS FOR A DIFFERENT LOCATION, in case this new universe, meteor showers are still common in system.

Try and do your business as fast as possible on the start planet, and get off the planet. Don't raze everything to the ground in search of resources, otherwise, we'll strand new players there. (This is sort of why I declared a different location for GAFWorld).

Finally, backup system is currently OFF until we properly decide on GAFWorld coordinates.

 

[RetroMG]

Sort of regretting moving from JestServers to the official Multiplay servers. Jest made updating after a patch quick and easy, whereas multiply doesn't appear to have a way to do it manually at all. So even though the patch is live, I'm waiting for someone to update my server to the new patch.

 

[Gothos]

Patch up, final wipe up so I could finally buy it I have NO IDEA what to do in this game, I just know what is its general premis, but other than that - zero knowledge of what, how and where Should be fun!

 

[kiguel182]

So, this was the final patch?

Nice, ready to start this game for real!

 

[Purkake4]

Still choppy as fuck, great.

 

[Bento]

Can't get on the GAF server, quoted the OP and typed in the address and password but gives me a "wrong password" error message. Anything I'm missing here? Also, do I need to type anything in the Server Account thingy?

 

[kiguel182]

Anybody else has a giant loading screen on the mac version? It takes ages for the game to start...

 

[bengraven]

Steam is patching. 482 megs.

Jesus Christ.

I'm hoping it's already done.

 

[Purkake4]

And a hotfix is on the way, I guess alpha is alpha.

hot fixing an issue that caused stutters for people on low end computers. Also making the unpacker safer to use. Patch soon

 

[Kouriozan]

Finally, time to start playing again!

Just tried and I could get in.

[Agkel]

Baby here I cooooooooooommmeeeeee!!!!!!!!

edit: Whats the best spaceship expansion mod out there? Now that there's no wipe I want to expand my ship.

 

[Kalaidos]

Got on the server a bit earlier, managed to play a bit and gathered enough ressources to jump to a new planet, when I suddenly got disconnected during the flight.
When trying to log in again, I'm now getting unknown server version, too.

EDIT : now getting unknow server version.

 

[Retro]

So, this was the final patch?

No, this was (probably) the last character wipe. There's still a lot of work to do, they're still in Phase 1 of beta. Full game is probably going to be closer to spring or even summer at this rate.

And before anyone complains, remember how much people were begging for them to release anything playable.

But papa Retro, I paid real monies for this game!!!

Yeah it's suppose to be the last character/ Ship wipe. Also 'hopefully' the last world wipe, although that last one doesn't make sense considering their still adding in bio types and etc.

But I imagine those would be a 'saved up like a shit ton of stuff' for a large update

 

[Wyndstryker]

Time to rush back to sector X.

I'll play it fast through single player before rushing into the GAF server.

 

[HaRyu]

Got back from work. Huzzah.

Server looks like it crashed while I was away. Boo.

Server back up. Huzzah.

 

[HaRyu]

Yeah, I expect there to be more world wipes, so... don't get too attached to your structures.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

Is there any general idea how far off the current farming/cooking mechanics are from what their intended goal is?

Don't get me wrong, I completely understand that it's a very early beta, but I'm curious if their current farming and cooking implementations (which are, IMO, tedious and useless) are anywhere close to what they have in mind as the "real" systems.

 

[OminoMichelin]

What is GAF's server ip/password again? I lost the post with those info

 

[HaRyu]

Quote the OP.

 

[HaRyu]

Server is a tad unstable. They did tweet a little earlier that theyr'e working on a hotfix, so they're aware there's issues.

 

[J. Bravo]

how do you use the thing in the slot labeled R?

 

[HaRyu]

OOHKAY, SERVER CRASHED AGAIN.

I put it back up, but for now, I'm going to avoid playing, might be contributing to the crashing.

If the server crashes again, I'm going to take the server down until we get that hotfix. We might want to hold off until the hotfix kicks in.

how do you use the thing in the slot labeled R?

If its a 1 handed item, just select it.

If its a 2 handed item, you have to flip between the hands, press X, i think.

 

[J. Bravo]

ah it's 'z'. thanks.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Aww crap, planets now have multiple weather types. Seen rainbow showers, drizzle and heavy rain on the starting world i'm on.

So that can mean meteor showers can occur anywhere >_>

edit: my starting world is so good. Terrifying wings AND pixel hero cape already.

 

[Wanny]

No more wipes? I was holding because of this.

 

[legacyzero]

New world ahoy!

 

[J. Bravo]

how do you heal....what food heals you...why doesn't cooked meat heal your hp?

 

[arts&crafts]

Bandages, you make them with plant fibres which you get from the vines hanging, pretty easy to makee

 

[legacyzero]

A nice comfy bed does the trick as well. Also, Red Stimpacks.

 

[J. Bravo]

awesome. thanks.
also, do you have to water your plants to make them grow?

 

[DiscoShark]

Game is running like crap for me since the patch, stuttering everywhere. Waiting for the hotfix I guess.

 

[Kadin]

Yeah I'm seeing the same. A good bit of lag... :/

 

[Admiral Snackbar]

Attacking with the Basic Spear as a Human crashes my game without fail. It's like the attack animation is missing, game stalls and boots to desktop without an error.

Testing out the other weapons now.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Game is running like crap for me since the patch, stuttering everywhere. Waiting for the hotfix I guess.

I noticed this as well. Could be due to many factors like multiple weather on planets and a bit more on the surface generation. My starting world had way more variety than any world I've seen before the patch.

 

[J. Bravo]

my starting planet has a nifty little temple thing that has lower gravity in and around it, along with stupid lava traps that melted me.

edit: also found some diamond ore in a chest wtf lol. not even close to a diamond pickaxe. bunch of gold ore on the surface too.

Yeah apparently it's for "low end computers" according to Tiy.

[Agkel]

Had my first crash with a memory access violation but managed to save before exiting, so I didnt lose these last 2 hrs.

Good god, time freaking flies while playing this game. I expect that there will be quite a few crashes considering all the changes they made. ***Also remember to report the bugs on the official forums to try and help out fixing them

 

[legacyzero]

So what's up with the story of the game.. Do the quests stop right after you defeat the first boss? And I'm assuming this is just a beta thing.
