Still though, I do get you would enjoy the game if the crafting stuff was more open to you, but that's relatively a bit simpler to setup than making sure that the combat works right. It'd be a matter of searching for the right mods that would unlock those things and installing them. Maybe have the recipe for the molten core be twice what it would take to summon the first boss perhaps? But regardless, the game does toe between being combat oriented and sandbox oriented, and I think favoring one side over the other would detract from the experience for most players, though I do agree there ought to be better options for sandbox players, but going to make the bosses officially optional would be a bad idea in my opinion.

This sums it up better than I could. I enjoy both parts of the game and removing one or the other feels like splitting it in half. From what I've seen it will be trivial to just skip the boss fights and make recipes to craft the boss drop items anyway, if you want to skip progression. I assume those mods will be very, very soon after release, which is why I'd argue for the fully unlocked sandbox universe as a separate game mode right off the bat.

That would be ideal I think, but not sure how hard it is to change the menu. However, I did notice there was a mode: next to characters, so maybe it's in the works?

It actually takes like a minute to make a mod like that right now.

[chaoticag]

Maybe I ought to try my hand at it once the patch comes out.

In multiplayer, is there any way to board another player's ship?  And fly around together?  I know I saw some of the devs flying through space together on one of the earlier streams, but I've no idea if that's in-game or if it was Magical Dev Powers^TM that allowed it.

You have to be in a party with them. Then, you can click on their portrait.

I haven't played MP, but I know it's possible to board other people's ships. There have been a few threads on the official forums complaining of griefers who've sabotaged their spawn point in their own ship.

E: Ninja'd. Oh well.

For modding, is it possible to add in new items? I'd like to add in a few plants to make some things, such as flower petals and mushrooms, renewable. Maybe add bones to boneboo plants too.

[chaoticag]

Yes. Someone added this http://imgur.com/a/hR431

Observation, making the matter manipulator have a 40x40 block radius and mine things instantly  is a recipe for all of the lag.

C'mon new patch~

[Twi]

It might not even happen tomorrow, Tiruin. 'A few days' is pretty vague.
tldr: everybody calm the fuck down

NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN! I WILL USE CAPS LOCK AND BOLD ITALICS TO EXPRESS MY DISCONTENT THAT THE BETA ISN'T PERFECT AT THIS EXACT POINT IN TIME! ANGRY!

Anyway yea, they are pretty much redoing that entire scaling thing, so you know, give them a day or two.

They seem to be aiming for tomorrow. So while it's not a SURE thing it's likely.

[Seriyu]

Alright, got all the messages, and that one suggestion from werty.

I'll probably send this later tonight, maybe in a few hours, maybe when I go to bed like twelve hours from now. Basically what I'm saying is there's still more time to submit stuff if you feel the need.

[Antur]

Aiming for tomorrow for the new patch, guys! Hopefully it'll help with a lot of you experiencing crashes, too!
