Honestly, I really want a Terraria-like/Minecraft-but with functioning elevators. Maybe automated mining, too, which is another one of those weird things about Starbound's flavor.

Right? You have spaceships and lasers and teleporters but drills? Yeah fuck no. No drills. No big industrial machines of any kind.

I wanna make a customized industrial walker with upgradable drills and storage containers ffs we're playing science fiction

Hey I think I just found a new biome. Not a mini biome, but a planet biome. Around a cold star, there's 3 planets with a 'dark' biome.
Never seen that. On my way there now to check it out.

[Sirus]

It's not really new, they were in at least some of the alpha builds.

They're still worth checking out IMHO. I made my first ever colony on a dark world, got a Glitch wearing a plague doctor mask and ruminating on nihilism.

Could always back up your current save folder. If you don't like it, do a fresh install of the game and your current mods and drop the save folder in.

but that's efforrrrrrrrt

[martinuzz]

So far it looks like an ice planet, just darker.

Meanwhile, The foundations for my new base at a magma planet it starting to take shape. Farms done. Top floor out of the screenies reach has livestock.
Time to start work on well paying tenants.

spent enough time on the desert world of my system to get a good amount of material. got lucky on an oil deposit along with an explorer's lantern so i now have both an EPP and a lantern stick.

now im growing up some cotton for the tier 2 armor and the teddy bear quest. but im running low on tungsten so i'll have to visit again. found plenty of materials underground. but i havent circunvented the planet yet.

im low on silver too, need more for unlocking the double jump mission. and gold for the morphball one.

im planning to expand the base, but i need to do some changes on the terrain first, and dont have enough pixels for buying animals yet.

oh, i caught a voltip too, its some kind of pikachu-like rabbit/pyramid head thing....

What do you do when you see a Hylotl city for the first time?

dats nasty :c poor fish people..

on the other hand:

i decided to dedicate to the farming business both for the food and for the economics. i leveled the area surrounding the house. got enough space to have two plantations at the sides and a barn for the future livestock.

i also bought the delivery machine from terramart store.

it took quite a bit of work to organize everything but i have several crops right now. including exotic stuff like beakfruit (?), boneboo, pineapple, banana and coffee

i have also built several moth farms for silk. i dont know what to do with that yet, but it sould give some money i guess

[SOLDIER First]

Silk is used to craft every race's tier 3, 4 and 5 armor.

Mine shaft drills were in a mod way back when. They went straight down X distance and came back up with everything. It was handy.

If you're trying to make money based on farming, the best way is to make sure you've crafted every possible recipe with the NEW tag, because some of those let you discover more advanced recipes. The best foods in the game come to around 550 pixels retail, so you'll get about 110 pixels per food item sale. I personally like fruit salad (kiwi, banana, grapes, pineapple) because it gives good buffs and you can make overage into ape grapes.

Desert salsa is 616 px per, but requires cactus and coconut in addition to a long list of more feasible things, and I don't think the gain is worth it.

Delivery machine gets much better pixel rates (i think 1/3 instead of standard 1/5). It only works for food stuff, but that's what we use for money, right?

The RNG must hate me. I´ve progressed to Solarium by now, my ship has 10 crew members and I have a magma planet base.

BUT. I am not progressing in the main quest. On the few dozen planets I´ve been to, I have yet to find my first Floran

my only complain is the lack of a map and that i cant make a f*cking hellevator for strip mining. i mean, ropes as consumable grappling hooks is cool but there should be a way to make some kind of stair with them.

i have remained relativelly on the surface because of that

Do you need an elevator ? can't you just use your ship's teleporter and flags ?

I just make a hellstaircase. A lot more effort to set up? Yes, sure. But being able to traverse it safely and quickly in either direction is, quite simply, glorious.

An apex cook tenant just asked me to build a home for a friend, with 3 pieces of technology in it.

Now I tried making a home with 3 (apex) items with the 'science' tag, but that didn't fullfill the mission requirement.

What exactly is 'technology' then?
