Yeah I was going to ask..I just wanted to get my hands wet and worry about the actual icon and such later. If I want a space in the item name which part do I put that?
Also I got the energy per shot down to 2....I can't seem to get attack speed up nor shoot gun ingame. Hard to figure out what is wrong when I never done this before lol!

The name under "shortdescription" is where you put the item name that will show up in menus and such. So you can write it with spaces there.
edit: Items that are already spawned won't change even if you change the code. You'll have to make another one to see any changes.

Changed it but..no luck. Also I can't change rate of fire oddly....

That is apparently the last quest available in the beta, and I will say that the two times I've done it, I have not been happy with the result.

After 3 starts on bad seed planets I finally decided to just skirt the surface for coal. I finally managed to scrape together enough for a single jump.
Does anyone have the coordinates to a starting planet with a non-broken ore seed?

I think that's it. But first you should try changing one thing at a time and seeing if that works. Changing too many things at once can lead to errors if you aren't careful. So first maybe you should change the name and image of the gun and then test it to see if it works.
So pre wipe I played as a human and for armor crafting options I had copper, scavenger, and silver armor. Post wipe I decided to play as an ape guy and my armor crafting options were only copper and the iron armor until after I beat the ufo when the silver and steel armor opened up.
Is this intended or a bug?

Intended, they changed the armor crafting.
I can't repair my diamond pickaxe, anyone else have this problem?

So, taming, how does it work and how far has it been implemented, anyone knows?
Try higher tier ores.
Got a cool two handed weapon that poisons. Good range and it's useful for birds. Just him them once and eventually they die.
I wanna know who built the huge tower and space staircase on the GAF server. That's like four planets worth of wood up there. I took some meteorite and brought it to the very bottom, in the GAF core bunker. Go look at my beautiful meteorite art.

I built a lot of it. I wanted it to go straight up, but fliers would keep knocking me off. So I just started doing stairs, and others joined in with protecting or placing platforms. With as long as it took just to get into space, holding right is probably better than having to keep jumping up anyway.

i'm back, sorry i left abruptly. but it looks like lissar helped you.
umm... the only way to lengthen it would be to open it up in paint or an editor and make it bigger. i use Photoshop.
There won't be any clipping? I will be using gimp.

no, the Halo AR image is larger than the revolver image i based it on. you may have to adjust the position of the muzzle flash and where the bullets come out.
you edit those in muzzleflash.frames and projectile.frames which you might have changed the names of.

yes, it is possible, but a lot more complicated than a gun. looks like every character is broken into four parts. head, legs/body, front arm, back arm. i see you could add an idle stance for all of those parts, the problem comes from the clothing, you'd need to edit every single clothing sprite sheet to have your new stance. but i suppose you could pick one set of clothes that you like and add the stance to that. you'd need to add the stance to every other race as well. so yeah, kinda hard to do.
Edit: need to do it for the armor as well, lol.

There are several ways you can set it up so that it starts the server when your computer boots up. Probably the easiest and most solid one would simply be using the task scheduler, creating a new task with "on session start" as trigger.
In any case, thanks for hosting the server(even though I've yet to visit it post-wipe).

How much is "enough for a simple jump"? There's three kinds of jumps, with the cheapest costing one fuel (you can jump twice with one ore) and the most expensive costing 200 (you need 100 ore). If you're jumping to another moon orbiting the same planet, or the planet itself it's just one fuel. The most expensive jumps are to other starts, and I would recommend against it unless you massively lucked out and there's only one single planet with no moons in your system (if that's even possible).

They really, REALLY need to fix the flying mob agro. Either that or severely dial down the knockback.
Not really liking the latest balance at all. Level 1 enemies are harder, my iron bow doesn't one hit kill level 1 mob anymore. Iron weapons are weaker than my busted starter sword.

I think that's how it's meant to be. Monsters shouldn't be one-shotted unless you grossly outpace them in progression.
My problems is finding coal. I've since gotten into Beta sector, and now coal is used to make steel bars as well, in a 1:1 ratio. There's not enough coal to jump planet to planet, make torches AND smelt steel.
Additionally, I've had times where I'm knocked back by enemies and my head gets stuck into terrain and then the beasts repeatedly charge me to death.

Ok. I got this problem even before the double patch. Tell me if i'm doing something wrong.
Minor spoilers about first boss
I got the

sector but I still got the 2nd tier recipes.
Before the patch I had all the 4
on a server, none of them in single player (even if I used the unlock item in single player).
Am I missing something? How does this work?

Good to know Im not the only one who cant find any coal, I have all this freaking diamond and it hilariously pointless now that I cant get my hands on any simple coal.

Consuming maps are separate. So you have to eat a map in both SP and MP to gain access to the next sector in the respective modes.

So last night I killed a couple of those cultist guys that we've seen shots of in this thread. Near them was a thing. Looked like a podium with a skull book on it or something. I hit E to use it, and it disappear and an FX played on my character. I'm not positive what it did, but it may have increased my max health...
Cooper and Iron is easy to find, coal is a real problem.
It all depends on where you are. I haven't had any problem finding coal, but am only finding very small veins of iron.
Even when you're being careful the Knockback+Fall damage combo is just impossible to escape. It doesn't help that pretty much all enemy ranged attacks do like 50-60+ damage which is insane. Ohh a bird is blowing bubbles at me, ohh wow I'm dead.
I've found coal to be the most even across planets. Some planets are heavy in gold and silver and copper, normal on coal and light on iron. Other planets have a healthy amount of iron, still lots of copper and slightly smaller levels of gold and silver. The problem with coal is though is that it's definitely reduced from pre-wipe and the loss of wood as fuel stretches those coal reserves a great deal. Like it's been said between torches, steel and fuel every big of coal counts now. You simply never have enough.

I've checked like 15 planets already in alpha and beta. Coal is the rarest.
With Energy Dash, fall damage is a thing of the past. Every time you use it, it resets your fall speed so you can just dash through the air and if you time it right you take zero damage even if you jump from a mountain.

me and my fiancee spent like 2 hours just digging through cave systems and found basically NO ore the entire time. Lots of mushrooms and a few crystals but not a single peice of copper, iron, coal, or anything.

Really? I find Silver the hardest to find and Coal is the most abundant next to copper. Maybe I got lucky with my starter planet.

I got more diamonds than coal on the first planet.
Yeah my friend found almost empty planet too, but its very rare.
For EVERY mp server or just one time?
That would be insane
Each server probably stores progression differently, but it shouldn't be too much of a fuss if you store your crafting benches and anvils in your ship. Then you can just directly make the maps without having to fight the boss.
