Starbound is still early access, give it some time.

You fool! You've doomed us all!

Why has nobody mentioned this?

1.2.4 is out.

[Urist Imiknorris]

I just came here to post that.

Why has nobody mentioned this?

Because it came out just today?

That's quite a changelog.


Hey!  What gives?  I thought the 1.2.3 and 1.2.3.1 updates were going to be the ones before the big Lunar thing.

Well, that's still a lot of new features.

Shoot, my most-desired interface improvements didn't make it in.

• A modifier key to move to/from chests, like shift moves to trash.
• Allow crafting with a chest's contents as well as inventory if the chest is open.
• Freakin' disable Deposit All, or at least require a confirmation.  This would combine well with the click-to-move modifier idea.

Bleh, so much time wasted, and so much frustration with Deposit All.  I actually wrote a patch to disable it.
EDIT: Finally, intelligent use of healing items.  Rock on!

I know, I was kidding.

Molotovs~

Well. If they're going to do joke items, I have to admit that's a decent one.

Spoiler: stats (click to show/hide)

16 damage, 12% crit, very fast, average knockback. Caught from the ocean. Yes, it's a swordfish.

E: Also, hang around ducks for a while, with the sound on. You'll know it when it happens.

That's been a thing since ducks have been a thing.

[Frumple]

... ducks were a thing before this version? First time I've seen 'em, m'self.

A modifier key to move to/from chests, like shift moves to trash.

Dear sweet mother of jebus I want this to be in. I have lost SO MANY THINGS to Minecraft-trained instinct of shiftclicking to move things between chests. :/

The fact Red had an opportunity and didn't is a bummer, but... *shrug*

Ok, shift+clicking has now some nifty autotunneling feature, was that in an earlier version?

Like, shift and hold mouse diagonally and it automatically makes a downward tunnel/stair thingy large enough for the player to fit.

Far as I know, no, that's part of the... cursor thingy, that default toggles with control.

It applies to more than just mining, by the by. Dealing with backwall is no longer quite the massive pain the ass.

Just FYI since many people were interested before, with 1.2.4 out I've wiped my old terraria server and started a new one for bay12 here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=138471.0

Ah great, it can be switched on and off, I was a bit worried it was permanent.

Damn changes to herb growth.  I did so much work and used so many seeds ... all wasted.  At least there's a wiki.

EDIT: Hmm, I take that back.  One of my surface-planted blinkroots just bloomed.  Maybe the cycle has just been slowed down.  By a lot.

EDIT2: Oh, there's a definite difference between growing a plant in its biome versus growing it elsewhere.  ^{(See below.)}

EDIT3: I read through the code last night and this morning... didn't see any biome tests.  I'm confuzzled.

EDIT4: Final results of discovery.  There are NO biome checks on player-planted herbs or on herb growth.  Only the base block type matters.

Daybloom, moonglow, waterleaf, and fireblossom are all forcibly made to bloom under specific conditions.

Blinkroot's second stage of growth (mature to blooming) has slowed down a lot.  There's no obvious reason in the code, that I can see... I think the grow-plant routine is just called less often.

The gamepedia wiki has just been updated to say that shiverthorn's maturation cycle follows the same rules as blinkroot.  My analysis agrees with this.  It also says that the cycle is slower than blinkroot's; I disagree.  I think it's the same rate, it's just that blinkroot's cycle has also been slowed down.

Note that there also many less valid locations for game-generated herbs to grow.  This is because so many blocks are now shaped, especially underground.
