Wow the game realy gets nuts once you pick up the molten core. I don't even know what to start with.

Wait, do you have to go to the Beta sector to move beyond gold pick/silver armor/iron weapons?


Also, to whoever wanted to know how to make foods: Go to your crafting table, make a cooking table.

There... I did it... I killed your god damn ship. Are you happy chucklefish? You take the prize from Relogic for "Company most willing to increase difficulty just to prove how hardcore their game is"

Does anyone have a server running yet, or is that not practical/possible at the moment?

Found out what the scythe does... It is basically like a sword in that in has an arc, but with the damage of a spear, at the coat of shorter reach. Pretty awesome weapon against enemies that like to jump, while the spear is better for charging creatures, and the sword remains best for airborn foes.

So, it sounds identical to the axe. I wonder if that stats vary at all.

Either way, they're very difficult weapons to use- the lack of range is what you pay for their economy. On the other hand, the axe is really encouraging me to evaluate my strategies, which is not something I do often.

One thing I've discovered: if you swing and then charge forward yourself, you can often get the edge against chargers and moving enemies, too!

Due to servers having zero protection, probably don't want to post your IP very visibly...

How about your axe?

Man, stuck at uni at the moment. Anyone found patch notes yet? A friend that I got the game for got the windows XP freeze at logo and I wanna know if that's been fixed.

If shit comes to worst i can block via IP and even in dire situations i will fuck up the other end of the connection

I've been running a server for a while.
PM me for the IP

The axe (iron) was 25, 5, 1.33. SO that Scythe is definitely a cut above the rest, unless it's also a higher tier. I'm doing pretty poorly right now, or was until desperation forced me to master the iron bow and hunt everything in sight for an hour or two.

Shooting down automatic-wielding Apex rebels with bow and arrow is pretty darn satisfying. BD

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Failed horribly and underestimated the game's distress beacon warning. I used it with the hunting bow, a copper helmet, and the ruined riot sword that I started with. I am not a smart man.

That being said, I have two questions:
1) In caution, I copied the "player" folder found in the starbound directory. Will replacing the current one with the copied one revert my save?
2) What's a good goal to aim for before using the distress beacon again, if possible?

[Ozyton]

So I just started playing today and found some interesting things like a boat anchro set in an open plains (have yet to build up to see if there's a spaceboat or something) and some kind of underground sludge biome thingy. iron is rather rare it seems.

It also appears that you can't make an iron pickaxe, but you can make them out of silver and gold etc.

Also, spears would probably be more useful if you could actually aim them maybe?

[Seriyu]

I did a starbound safari!

Not a whole lot but I was distracted with actually playing the game.

Na, the scythe is iron tier. Although like most Hylotl weapons, there is a delay on the attack, meaning you need to very carefully time your attacks before hand, you can't spam and pray.

Although speaking of tiers, how do I make steel?
