On the navigation screen what do the lines connecting the planets mean?

I hate how you can't bank pixels That's my biggest complaint.

Spend them on something. The iron hunting bow is a pretty good investment, see if you can get a better pickaxe, maybe better armor.

Does anyone else get TREMENDOUS performance drop?  It seems that monsters in particular drag my FPS to stuttering, and night is fatal simply for the low game speed.

Also has anyone done farming?  All crops I try to place just give me a single seed when harvested.

[The Darkling Wolf]

Are you harvesting them with e or by whacking 'em with a tool?

Nope, I haven't had a problem.

Also crops will only drop a single seed most of the time. It will take a few iterations to grow your farm.

Am I screwed?

I sent up the distress beacon, the boss summoned a rocket launcher minion that insta kills me literally the moment I land on the planet.

EDIT: Looks like I just had to force em to leave. Great, time to build another!

I've made it as far as crafting food, and so far Starbound has demonstrated the tedium of Minecraft combined with the sloppy interface of Terraria and more "stand motionless and hold down the left mouse button" gameplay than both of them combined.

It gets worse. Not only is there the tedium of minecraft, but when you die you loose a good amount of currency, the very thing you need to climb the tiers. At least in minecraft you have a good chance to recover your stuff, here you are just stuck trying to kill things with the hope of getting good enough gear to not die.

[Neonivek]

Not to mention that unless you got a VERY good weapon it is very hard not to suffer attrition which requires quite a bit of grinding to supplement or slow health recovery.

But I already knew Starbound had a bland factor before coming in.

It can punch you know

Luckily they are peaceful!

The urge to arrow it and consume it's flesh has occured more then once but I have resisted so far.

It does have an aggressive black cousin with a yellow frill and hammer tail that regularly leaps off cliffs and lands on my head however.

[Max White]

Wait... How is it peaceful, it is red!
Everything on my planet that is aggressive is a warm color, and everything that is peaceful is a cool color. Is this not standard for everybody?

Nope. I have big red three eyed squidthings that are happy and hop around peacefully
