I just dug a big trench to the edge of the planet and slid along the ground.

It is somewhat disorientating to literally fall off a planet.

[Neonivek]

Did anybody else get the bright idea to land on a planet with way too weak thrusters?
Had to strip down most of my ship to get off the damn thing!

Yep but there is two ways out of it.

1) You can drive off the edge of the planet
and
2) You can dig through the planet

[Nelia Hawk]

now i wonder if this game poping up and with its popularity will influence the other "space block" games like scumbleship, corneroids or avorion...

will it be positive? (i.e. they get good ideas from this?), negative? (will they die out because this is popular now?) or nearly no influence atall? (they just continue with whatever they plan to do)...

[miauw62]

Most of those other games are dead anyway.
Avorion is an entirely different principle. This isn't particularly popular when compared to the others.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

I was inclined to think horribly of this game, but after trying it, I have to say it's quite enjoyable.

I don't know what it is, but I like it better than corneroids to be sure. If we manage to get a server up I would love to play with you guys!

Anyone know how to completely reset your game, other than re downloading?

[Spaceman96]

Go under tools in the launcher, then choose reset universe.

So, I found out never to enter a buildblock on a planet as you pop out underneath and die, when you exit the damn thing.
I can't find my ship now

[Mephansteras]

Just played around with it a bit. Pretty fun, although I'm still fuzzy on how to do a lot of things. Still, I mined a bunch of asteroids and bought more stuff to upgrade my ship. Seems kinda basic right now, but I see a lot of potential in the game.

[miauw62]

What are you supposed to do with ores? Also, I wish there were more types of NPC stations. Maybe even procedurally generated.

[Nelia Hawk]

you either sell the ore to a shop... or i think you can use it with the factory stuff to create some things ? (havent messed with the factory yet myself though.)
maybe check the factory block item description in the shop. i think atleast one block splits high level ore into lower level ore...

I am apparently incredibly stupid and cannot install this game. How do I do this?

I am apparently incredibly stupid and cannot install this game. How do I do this?

Download the launcher (StarMade-starter.exe), open it and click "Update and install latest version". Wait until it's done and click "Start Game".

[Grek]

As soon as I click on the exe file, I get the following message:

This registry refers to a nonexistent Java Runtime Environment installation or the runtime is corrupted. The system cannot find the path specified.
