You know what all these games need? A "drillevator". Basically you build a machine on the surface, that's sort of like a winch with a box with a drill on the bottom, you climb in, and then you just dig down by moving down! Maybe slowly, maybe using fuel, I don't care. But I always hated making the mining shaft...

Mining mech. Just a giant drill you drive around, digging through the ground.

I think I'm in love with the music system in game, even though sometimes it's hard as hell to make a song play nicely(this ABC notation can be a b*tch sometimes). 

Since the update is gonna (maybe) delete the characters, I "cheated" and created a guy with all the music instruments and a cool outfit.

Here's a video I just uploaded showing how awesome the music system is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf9Q9uz0b7g 
That's me playing We Got Power from Dragon Ball Z.

Oops, tried to edit the other post and quoted it instead. Sorry, don't know how to delete this now

I'd settle for a normal elevator honestly.

Also yeah, if little mining settlements you can automate to a degree aren't planned, it'd be great if they were in some respect. I love making little planetary settlements, but they're pretty pointless now, as flying dice said earlier.

I should probably post this in that thread sappho posted on the steam forums.

Anyone know what, if anything, the hiking backpack does? Or is it just for looks. Doesn't add space.

I will be in the Forsaken party too

WERTYMONSTER.

...I just wanted to say that.

Carry on, old chap from the land of cracking knuckles.

Off topic, do we happen to have a CW3 thread about?

[werty892]

WERTYMONSTER.

Oh you.

Question: Have other races always been able to make shields? Because Hylotl sure can't...

[Twi]

The shield gets craftable at steel tier, IIRC. For my floran, and it's a pretty non-distinct shield.

[Seriyu]

I can make an iron shield as a hylotl. She was made after the leather armor update though.

[etgfrog]

well...after finishing most of the mod that I was trying to make, I decided to also mod in learning the blueprint to things just by picking them up...didn't work out so well as it turned ALL of my blocks and ores into perfectly generic objects that doesn't retain its data 

[GlyphGryph]

There are a variety of shields you can get in-game. Are they all identical? I just got a nice new one from a lv20 planet.

[BigD145]

Identical in stats, of which there are none.

Friend of mine found some lore in a human base!

"Finally, general kale made contact. She escaped earth with a fleet of her best soldiers, and they've taken refuge in a space station not far from mars. From there, they're planning and strategising what to do about the giant damn monster that's eating our planet. I overheard all this as my superior officer spoke to her on the comm-link. He asked her what she suggested the rest of humanity do. 'do whatever', she said, 'It's going to be a long road home'. I don't think we're going back to earth any time soon"

Spoiler: USCM Field Handbook (click to show/hide)

"Upon first contact with the Floran Brood in [Redacted], the USCM far underestimated the level of aggression, cunning, and savagery the Floran race would eventually become known for.

During one of many border skirmishes with the expansionist Florans, Commander [Redacted] of the Sabre-class Battlecruiser USS [Redacted] attempted to relieve embattled USCM troops by covering advancing Floran forces with thousands of gallons of Solution 2,4-D, otherwise known as herbicide.

The effect, however, did not perform as expected, with the solution having roughly the same poisonous qualities as alcohol does to a human. Nevertheless, the move "distracted" the Florans enough for the Marines to launch a counterattack and overwhelm them, securing the planetside colony long enough to complete its emergency evacuation.

The tactic has not seen use since, but lives on in history as the [Redacted] Manoeuvre."
