Anyone know where to get a Superior Brain?

Also, are there any items that help you when digging straight down?

server is <IP Address>
That's probably a bad idea right now.  With no server protection, an openly available IP means everyone can come around and muck your server and you can't actually do anything about it.
I can actually just through IP blocking, i haven't found anyone yet blowing stuff up in general and besides this is a test server and this game breaks hard.

The pickaxe clears a 3x3 block of rock, and even the stone is faster than the default tool. Not sure what else to suggest.

I am ok with that.

Where do you even find/make a shield?
I found both of mine in chests/dropped from humanoid enemies.

@Tiruin: Furniture direction corresponds to the direction you face when placing it, IIRC.

e: Re: Multiplayer servers: I'd really rather not have a restriction on new characters only, because the grind is bloody painful.

I dunno yet, when i joined it was a toxic system with 2 planets that were eaten up pretty quickly by 6 people, i dunno where it sets the planets from but it might be easier to start with some of the quests done.

Oh, that's another good point. If you've got a bunch of people all trying to finish their beacon, you'll run out of resources in the system pretty quickly.

Surface available resources, yes. But there's more down below. Everyone get together on a mine shaft and just radiate out from that central shaft and you all should find what you need.

And honestly given how LOOOOOOOONG it takes to mine... tag team mining is greatly appreciated.

I like the heat system... It'd be good if they explained it to you early on, but it actually gives some sort of threat to the night.

The world I first spawned on isn't exactly great. I can only go to the right, because on the left there's a hill with a valley with a cave on the bottom behind it, which is constantly full of monsters :/

I've died like 10 times already.

E:

Also, the main menu music reminds me of when I first played Minecraft, back in Alpha when it was relatively unknown. And that peaceful music. Good times, :')

To expand on how bad of an idea this is with an unfinished beta product, there could always be a bug where 'if I send command X I can run whatever code I want' that allows them to do bad things to your computer as a whole, not just the game itself.

Paranoid, yes, but keep that in mind with such a rough beta.

Yes you can, it just takes like 20-30 seconds per tree.  The tree will start shaking more and more violently as you "mine" it.

Alright, my server is back up. Sorry about that, my power apparently went out while I was sleeping.
As before, PM me if you want the IP.
