So I just tried going to the Beta Sector, and got my ass handed to me. I feel like I'm stuck.
I just killed the robot boss, and I can't see to get to craft any better armor than scout, and moon worlds and asteroid fields are too cold for me
What can I really do next?

If you killed the Robot Boss, then you should actually be able to go to the next sector (you'll need to craft the table upgrade from the drop from the robot).
General strategy is to:
a) Get best possible armor
b) Get best possible weapon
c) Move to next sector (May need to defeat a boss)
d) Repeat
Yeah... seems really simple, but that's because this is a beta, and there's really no deep quest line for this game yet.

So assuming no more wipes, how would I go about getting my items to a new character? I want to play as a novakid but had a glitch for the beta.

You would store them somewhere in a cache or give them to someone you trust.

So if I put something on a single player planet and go to that planet with a new character, they would find what I put there?
XT Vengeance

No. You would have to hide it on a multiplayer world.

Yes, the single player universe is persistant, doesn't have to be a multiplayer world. Pre-wipe I've been using a single world as a hub for several of my chars in single player.
XT Vengeance
Member
Wait, really? All of my single player characters exist in the same universe? That is news to me.
Wyndstryker
Member
Unless they changed it with this recent patch, all single player chars operate in the single player universe. I know I suggested it in this thread in the past, to make a homeworld in beta sector just so that any char you make in the future can jump there once they cleared alpha.
XT Vengeance

Good to know. Not that I plan on making a new character anytime soon though.

This one in particular allows you to build the ship from scratch

Make sure you have crafted everything available to you. If you beat the robot, you should be able to build a new workbench and with that workbench you should be able to build the new map expansion. Everytime you use a new map expansion, new recipes become available to you, so revisit your workbencheseseses.
Like Wyndstryker said, you would for example create your novakid, go to novakids ship control and write down the current coordinates. Then you would switch to your glitch, travel to said location, beam down to the planet, plunk down a chest and put all your stuff there. Then switch to novakid, beam down and grab everything.
MORE COMMAS, MORE COMMAS, MORE COMMAS!!!!
Check the link I posted above. I currently have the fully customizable ship one and the extra blood one. I love both of them!

I didn't know that! Thanks!
But I dont have Titanium
Where the hell am I supposed to get that without having to go to the later sectors and get my ass kicked?

You have to go to the Gamma sector. Or offer trades to people.
The game is still far from complete I think? I'm at sector X and the only remaining items to craft are the chips that unlock the next metal bar to be smelted with iron. I'm at ferrozium now. The game is a breeze at that point anyway. I went to level 10 threats planets and scouted for chests. My rifle and sword deal 1500-2700 damage now. Every enemy kill you in one hit though so you have to dig and evade them.

I wonder if anyone knows a planet where I could find the little one block size data screens, http://starbounder.org/Data_Screen. I believe they spawn in underground avian dungeons.

No clue, but as I have been exploring, I will try to remember to pick some up when I see them.
Haven't played in a long time but is there really no way to turn off the 60 fps limiter? Even in the config file I've tried to state vsync as false and save but it still enables itself, so it must be a frame limiter. It's like the game is hard coded to run at 60fps. The problem is, I have a Gsync monitor and I want to use it to get rid of the really annoying stutter when frames get unsynced which seems to happen like crazy in this game. Whenever there is a large sweeping motion or some action in the game, the framerate 'jitters'. Unfortunately you can't turn on Gsync without disabling vsync which doesn't seem possible.
I really hope they fix this syncing issue or let us uncap the framerate, it kills the game for me.

Yep, way far from complete.
After the last boss you defeated, they practically unlock all the tech tiers, without any boss fights. There's suppose to be something between each tier though (aka probably boss battles) (there's like 5 or 6 tiers after that last boss).
They did it like this so that we can at least test out the tech in the later tiers.
Doesn't have to be underground, but yes avian.
If it was, I just rebooted it, should be back up now.
Got to sector X with almost everything in game crafted. I felt the "fall off" of the game just before reaching the Delta sector. When beta launched I felt it almost immediately after reaching the beta sector. So in less than 1 month time(the time I took a break) they managed to add enough to make it a refreshing experience again.
There's obviously a lot of things that need to be fixed/added but I am extremely confident that these guys are more than capable of making, an already great game, into an amazing game.
For now I'll take another break and just slowly build my ship and perhaps explore a planet or two until they release the full version.

Well the hellevator to the core is functional with water landing pool. Still working on making the whole thing lighted and climable from the bottom. Started on a lava base so that will be my gafworld project

Volcanic and magma planets seem broken ATM. Everytime I make a jump to one I get stuck in the ftl animation.

My current Gaf Prime project an underground Avian Town. I have one building done so far, and will be adding more. You can tell where it is by the Hallway with the letters XT engraved into it behind an apex security door. This one is gonna be a longhaul project.

ok, hellevator done, have fun using it to travel to the depths

That sounds amazing! I do have to say, though, pirates are incredibly lame. I hope they decide to go with a different theme for whatever game they choose to create.

Just did this, go to gamma and dig, don't go into open areas, stay inside the walls away from enemies. Titanium isn't very deep down in the new sector. I had enough to make all titanium stuff in 20 minutes.

I very much doubt that, but they do have forced pvp in sector X. only people in your party are safe from harm.
Nice surprise, look like they're bringing back the space stations.
For those who didn't know, there originally was suppose to be space stations, but they opted to make them space ships instead. Looks like they changed their minds about it.
The PvP concept is nice, but that kinda hinges on the fact that we need a good amount of people on the server at any given time. Considering how many planets are in a given sector, its really hard to actually run into other players by accident. Maybe they'll put in a scanner of some sort.

Well, I added another building to my town. Gonna add in some NPCs now. Also, yay, I finally made it to member status on Gaf.
If you want my advice, build a row several blocks thick out of dirt above your head. Leave a small hole in it to fire a gun or a bow through, then summon the dragon and jump down the hole. Viola, one dead dragon.

Make a bunch of turrets at the 3d printer, the dragon will freak out and not know what to do and the turrets will kill him quickly enough.

Pixel for starting quest is a bad idea in my opinion
is there a guide for adding NPCs?

There are specific spawners. You can make guard spawners and generic spawners of your selected race. Anything else you have to find.

The Spawner bug is pretty annoying. I've seen 8 copies of the same guard.
