They don't break. They just run out of durability and start sucking until you pump them back up.
I've been doing some planet hopping. Landed on one with not a SINGLE tree. Which kind of sucked because I accidentally added all my wood to my ship as fuel and only had 14 torches. But on the bright side there was plenty of iron and copper and even some silver pretty accessible. Managed to score some gold as well. Good find.
I also stumbled across some chests and ended up with a nice sword that blows bubbles lol.
Time to pack it up and go find a planet with some trees though.
How do you up the durability? I couldn't figure it out.

Good to know. This game is so close to perfection for me.
For those who are having trouble find specific ores try different searching different low level planets.

I ... think I just died of smoke inhalation. I think the cavern I was digging in filled up with too much smoke (was digging underneath my house, doors not open, torches everywhere) and I died.
That's kind of awesome.

Sure it wasn't of cold? The screen gets foggy when you are cold.

Yeah the screen got very foggy, I guess it was cold.
I've found, if you're hurting for copper or iron, a good place to dig (assuming you're okay on coal) is a desert planet. Hit that loose sand and just sweep your pick and all of it comes cascading down with you. Just be careful to light torches as you go and watch for any sudden drops. There's been a few ass-clenching moments where it seemed like my entire screen was shifting downwards.
Support beams (at least, the wood ones, haven't seen any others) are kind of wonky with their placement; I've found if you consider the lower corner to be where you're 'aiming', it lets you flip them. It's kind of wonky, not really a bug but I submitted a comment on it earlier.
Until they fix that tonight.

Wise decision. I believe there will be a wipe, though, at some point.

Silver Ore seems impossible to find on my starting planet, I've mined a decent amount and scanned a good bit of the surface as well. Iron, Copper, Coal, all abundant. I found a few Silver on the surface right as I dropped into the world and nothing since. Hopefully this update will just make a bunch of deposits I missed visible. I did find a chest with a cool sword that shoots fireballs though so that ain't so bad.
A lot more in depth. I'm having a ton of more fun in the first few hours than I ever have in terraria.
Although you're wayyyy too weak early on.
Good to hear. I've been starving for depth in games lately. Can you customize your ship?
More depth, though if you've played Terraria you'll grasp the basic concept quickly; uninhabited planet full of thinks that want to kill you, lots of digging, crafting, building, exploring, combat. The addition of multiple planets (and by multiple, I mean over 400 quadrillion planets) means there's lots of room for surprises, something Terraria lacked with it's limited, "earthbound" approach. You can stumble across all sorts of procedurally generated towns and dungeons, little encounters (seen cultists, robotic blacksmith hermits, avian trading camps)... and who knows what else. The game is massive and the developers have said their goal is rapid content updates.
The limits of what's in the game aren't immediately clear yet. People have been finding all sorts of weird shit. And they haven't even added in an entire race, fossils or pets yet.
You can change the walls and add furniture and such, but the layouts are unfortunately fixed. You can increase their size though.
i found exactly 1 piece of silver ore in nearly 10 hrs of play. the stuff must be way deeper or something.
That really sounds awesome. Sounds like they've created a great foundation so they can focus on interesting content.
Damn. Bought. Might as well jump in now if it's already this good.
Yeah, I fell down a huge cavern and I was finding iron like no one's business.

Does anyone know if I would die if I jump in here? It took too long to get down here to risk it.
Pick up the correct ore on your cursor and right click on the item you want to repair.

No, you'll be fine.
YOU'RE ALREADY DEAD
Honestly the hate Terraria band wagon is full let's leave it at that. I love this game even if all I do is mine slowly..really slow. I will sink many days into this like I did with Terraria.
Is there anyway to speed up time? Not skip it, just make it speed up. In game also lol.
*for lava place blocks and destroy while leaving the sides and bottom.

I was being sarcastic.
Well, I wasn't turning around either way. lol.
Healing.
It heals you. I always carry a Campfire and Tent when I'm out and about. Never know when you'll need to settle in for a spell.
I've found 3 tech blueprints and they've all been Energy Dash
While cool, I've killed myself with it more than once when frantically tapping wasd to escape something or make a precise jump
Could I have one of your spares?
It's been doing this to me, I just let it sit there for a minute or so and it eventually loads.

sure if you can host a server, you can PM me the info if you like

Anyone know what the planet sizes are? Are they all the same? Height/width compared to Terraria?

Does anyone know if there is a good resource for learning how to setup a server?
What song can you play? I picked up a reed organ and can only play Canon in D so far. Wasn't sure if each instrument initially gave you a specific song or not.
Also found a king glitch in his own castle and he attacked me on sight. So I killed him and took his crown. Hail to the glitch king!
Found out you can walk in a circle around the planet but it's a very long walk, obviously depending on the planet size, etc.

Is there a place for updates? Some people said multiplayers not working, some say it does. Still wondering if I should get this game since I tried it at a friends.
