Starbound Beta Thread - Begins December 4th!

Hmhm, quest line broken? But why? It worked in MP with my own table. Then I switched to SP, but did nothing. Switched back to the MP server and build a furnance and a bow (but not with my own table). Then nothing happened.
 
Man, this game really is perfect to wind down before bed. It makes you forget about the shitty day and just EXPLORE. It's more therapeutic than I ever could've imagined...

Until these bitchass birds keep dropping bouncing boulders on me while spitting out fire. Those fuckers.
 
Thanks..what about your weapon mod?

**Also I dump the hair stuff into the assests/humanoid right?

There are instructions in the readme! I also included the hair mod tutorial image for a visual reference. The images have to be put in assets/humanoid/[race]/hair and then you need to edit each individual .species file under assets/species to be able to select them.

Working on my weapon and kimono mods right now. I hope to have them all figured out by tomorrow.
 
I found a boss guy thing that just stood there and took my hits. He dropped a bone hammer that throws out bone projectiles and the hammer actually breaks rocks.... neat.

I wish there was a way to change hair without restarting. But I guess I can save the coords for this awesome planet for that right?
 
So.... grossly large diff in DPS between starting weapons and... iron weapons. Was it that marked before? Could swear it wasnt... but it didnt show DPS, only armor penetration, hit speed and dmg.

Anyways, UFO goes down faster with an iron bow now than it used to with steel bow.

Edit: steel short sword 5000DPS??????? o_____o
 
So on the fresh reset I was lucky enough to have the miniboss monster spawn extremely close to my teleport point Problem was I barely landed on the planet so I was under-armored. Two hits and I was down.

So I ended up trapping the thing.

After killing it, I thought it was a nice little design and I decided to build a home out of it.

Seems like progress is easier now after the patch?
Overseas until next week ; ;

How do u make steel weapons? You need to have molten core from ufo 1st? Or just unlock after you created the 1st steel bar? Steel is iron and copper right?
 
God damn, please don't wipe it, just get fix the dps on craftables, geez, just got done with my base and everything, turns out iron bow and steel weapons do 4000+ damage each, gah, how did they not catch this?
 
Found an Apex village to the left of the spawn point on my starting planet and the guards there dropped tier 2 weapons, and plenty of them. Got a hammer that shoots balls of lightning. That might need readjusting, since now I can one-shot anything on this planet with ease.
 
Yeah, noticed that. So, coal and... what else?

Hmmmm... so leather def was nerfed down to scavenger armor... oh well.

Coal and plutonium ore.
No idea why but Plutonium Rods didn't work before.

Am currently at work so can't test if they work now, though~

Yeah I had the same situation going on. It's really not as much fun when it's this easy.

I wouldn't be shocked if we saw another wipe coming, but I'm no programmer.

Does anyone else get lots of crashes when you're typing in the filter field in the crafting menu?
That's how I've gotten my only crash so far.
 
Well... that was an interestingly inconvenient bug. The game crashed and when I got back the entire world had been reset. All the stuff I had built on it was gone (not that it was extensive, but I had home!) I still had all the stuff I had gathered and kept with me, it was just the world that was set back.

I've been having quite a few more crashes this patch. Guess we'll need to wait for a NEW new update.


Anyway, apparently I came upon a Floran world:


Oh, this doesn't look suspicious at all.


Heads on stakes!


Those murderous heathens, we must commit genocide!
 
So... all planets in alpha have threat level 1, all in beta are 2? ~_~

Yeah, each sector goes up a level for ten total levels, but planets in each sector are supposed to have their own difficulty rating. I've been too busy testing stuff to get off my starting planet, however.
 
Those murderous heathens, we must commit genocide!

I'm not really helping this stereotype. The first thing my new Florian did was encounter a remote Avian village, slaughter the entire population and take their stuff. In my defense, I only killed them to see if I could, I'm not all bad.
 
Without the more refined tier system (10 per tier), I have no clue as to where I'm ready for the boss.

I'm assuming the full iron set would be sufficient.
 
I was indifferent to terraria. But I love starbound to death. Mainly because it encourages exploration far more. You don't have to worry about keeping track of shelter because you have a space ship. There's so many worlds. You can survive simply off of traveling to new worlds and looting random civilizations. It's so great.
