Nah, I was wandering around and there was a giant anchor with a chain leading up.

Fight the boss NOW. Hurry.

Also, my axe is full of burning. Far better than the starter sword with a similar swing.

Heh, I can't for several hours, and my computer is set to auto-update without my involvement.  Besides, I already tried once and got unceremoniously swatted (several times, before the UFO eventually just flew off), so I have to collect everything I need for it again along with enough extra iron to upgrade my copper armor.

I really need a shield and there are none. Or a gun. You do not bring an axe to a gun fight.

Question: Is the price on this game going to increase once it's out of beta?

I'm definitely going to get it, but I have so many other games I should be playing at the moment, and I don't really have much in the way of extra cash lying around, so it makes sense for me to wait and buy it when it's more complete. But if it's going to get more expensive, then I should suck it up and buy it now. But if I buy it now, I'll certainly end up playing it now, and all my other new shiny games will go neglected....

I might be overthinking this.

Found a penal institution. Opened the door. Got oneshotted.

ONE DAY!

One thing I actually miss is being able to run around the surface and cut grass with your sword. I hope they do that sometime. It's just somehow satisfactory.

I played this with my friends, it took two shots to kill us. Since we have the habit of not healing until near death, one shot.
It's funny because in this case, eventually who has a shield will tank on, specially bullets. I found it interesting.

Also, I find it weird that you can just land and moons and BREATHE and stuff, maybe atmosphere and instadeath on moon without EVA is not implemented?
I hope it's planned. Would be cool..

Farming IS worth it, guys. I got 20 bandages out of my last crop alone.

IIRC, it's going to be... a five dollar increase. Nothing too steep, but it's definitely worth the money right now if you want to play.

Monsters now have a small chance to drop meat when killed with normal weapons. (done)

Bandages are now craftable with 4 plant fibres, no longer require fabric (done)

Monsters now have a 70% chance to drop meat when killed with a hunting weapon, up from 50% (done)

This pleases me.

I've found a castle on my starting planet full of Glitches and guards.

Is there anyway to move where you beam down to a planet? I wouldn't mind making the castle my home.

Did anyone post this yet? A friend gave me the link:
The changes for a patch that's coming 'tonight', it seems..

I'm very happy with the changes, they adressed the top complaints it seems, without making the game easier.

You can still do that, if you find a planet with long grass. I was just doing it last night (on an arid planet, nonetheless! Surprisingly verdant desert!)

I like the villages and houses, labs, etc but the rest of the game is a terraria style slog, so far.  I want to be rapidly fighting my way through planets, looting their precious furniture and scanning it.  Instead I'm running back and forth to kill critters, having to slog back through dozens of the bastards if I die in a cool place I'm exploring, and mining copper and iron, of which TONS is required.

Why don't I have a gun.  Can I please have a gun and some ceramic armor?  Do I really have to grind copper and iron to get enough armor to go check out the underground alien egg pits?
