Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Starbound Beta Thread - Begins December 4th!
- Thread starter Retro
- Start date
Rate of fire is under fireTime, not speed. Not sure what speed is related to, maybe animation speed?
Thank you! Hoping to have more soon. Maybe not today, since I have another project I must finish, but perhaps tomorrow.
Same. I think it's the latest update being pushed through.

I'm secretly hoping for an ore re-balance even if it means another wipe.

Did you use some 3rd party building tool to make all this? Or did you do this all ingame with just a mental image or reference paper?
Also how do I make my ship bigger?

All brick by brick with the exception of the large bridge (pasted in from a previous world). The Library was also built on GAF server (by hand) but pasted into my SP world.
Did sketches of stuff while waiting for the update and kind of built using it as a rough guide. It came out pretty close, honestly.

These are fucking amazing. I loved Terraria, but couldn't put too much thought into building because I quickly lost track to how slow and agonizing mining was in that game. I should have just joined the GAF server and built with everyone else.
Also, just wanted to say your aquaduct is pretty awesome considering the water effects in that game (and this one).
When I played a bit just now I thought this was the case. Feels much less ridiculous now.
I guess that they didnt update the launcher, because i have all features. It must downloaded in the background and i havent noticed.

Shield finally works as intended! Just make sure to make new one in an anvil, because existing ones can not work [my didnt for example].
From 22 damage on lvl 3 planet, i got reduction to 4 damage with block.

Wow that is awesome.

Yes it is. Also I like that the search bar isn't the default input anymore. It's convenient as hell when you are opening it and wanting to search right away, but I am always searching for "eeee" lol

Finally I can get some fuel for my ship!
Just gonna convert all this wood into coal.

Played with the chomper mod that I made, and it sort of is OP. It's a definite replacement for a pickaxe, and I can really only recommend it if you want a really easy way to make tunnels that are 4 'pixels' high. Not sure of a way I could balance it other than making it really weak and therefore slower.
So, lesson learned: making a mod like this is all about getting the balance right, and it's not as easy as I thought it would be to make something inherently balanced.

Yeah, the variable is how long it takes and the actual rate of fire is how many shots per second. If you're firing once every .05 seconds, you're firing 20 times in a second.
If you can make it destroy the stuff it tunnels through, and increase the cost of building it.
I like that idea of destroying the tunneling items. Any idea on how to do that?
No, I haven't touched the mod stuff so I don't even know if it's possible. But chomper sounds like it should destroy stuff heh.
Nah, no one would use it if it made coal disappear.
Nerf its damage to half the same tier of pick. It'll still be superior for horizontal tunnel digging and the pick or drill would be better for general use.

Someone fucked with the huge tunnel/drop shaft...
Well right now it's the equivalent of a gold pick. Should I just nerf it down to copper level or maybe make it upgradeable through all the same tiers of the pickaxes but with half the damage at each tier?
Make it upgradeable at each tier.
I think I can do this. There are 4 tiers, right?
Alright here's my home planet: -63422494, 97998931, Alpha Pi Her 20 IV. I went all the way to the bottom without finding a single ore deposit. Never had this issue before, looks like either ore generation is completely broken for some planets or maybe something is wrong locally on my end?
Edit: Found enough coal in chests to fly to another planet. Ore generation there is fine (if a bit excessive). Tons of diamond, gold, silver, and platinum. Looks like some planets are indeed broken or maybe ore generation is clustered so close together on some that the rest of the planet is barren?

You can basically copy the pick progression from stone through copper to diamond and have the same material requirements for upgrades, just at 4x4 and half damage at each step. Maybe leave out stone and have copper for the first one since it's more advanced than a pick.

I'm loving the wood --> Coal change. I can finally get off the starting planet. I went to a desert and there was ore everywhere.
New complaint: Let me change the "drop" key. I hit Q too often when going for my 1 key. I just lost my awesome weapon while I was mining through a desert.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Copper -> Silver -> Gold -> Platinum -> Diamond and at 1/2 the damage of each step. Working on it now, should be up within 30 minutes.
EDIT: Actually a little more than 1/2 the damage. 1/2 the damage is just a little too slow.

The server password isn't working for me anymore. What's the deal?

Dumb question but what is the name of the art/pixel style? Like for example 16 bit.
I know it is not that lol
Most probably just call it pixel-art. Not sure if there's a specific name for it.

WAT
I honestly gave up on the idea of controller support ever getting into this game. But they're already working on it?? My nipples are cutting through my shirt.
edit- oh wait so that's just to config your keyboard buttons, huh. I got too excited when I saw "controller options." That's good too though. It fixes my last complaint.

I'm just downloading it as well.
Sorry about the tiny house on the second starter planet, that was my doing and I had limited resources.

Somehow I seem to be finding everything BUT techs.
Found a decent gun dps wise...BUT THE WORST FIRING MODE EVER!
Seriously...whats the point of a gun when the bullet splits halfway across the screen!
