Wow the game realy gets nuts once you pick up the molten core. I don't even know what to start with.
Wait, do you have to go to the Beta sector to move beyond gold pick/silver armor/iron weapons?


Also, to whoever wanted to know how to make foods: Go to your crafting table, make a cooking table.

There... I did it... I killed your god damn ship. Are you happy chucklefish? You take the prize from Relogic for "Company most willing to increase difficulty just to prove how hardcore their game is"

Does anyone have a server running yet, or is that not practical/possible at the moment?

Found out what the scythe does... It is basically like a sword in that in has an arc, but with the damage of a spear, at the coat of shorter reach. Pretty awesome weapon against enemies that like to jump, while the spear is better for charging creatures, and the sword remains best for airborn foes.

So, it sounds identical to the axe. I wonder if that stats vary at all.

Either way, they're very difficult weapons to use- the lack of range is what you pay for their economy. On the other hand, the axe is really encouraging me to evaluate my strategies, which is not something I do often. :P

One thing I've discovered: if you swing and then charge forward yourself, you can often get the edge against chargers and moving enemies, too!

Due to servers having zero protection, probably don't want to post your IP very visibly...

The axe (iron) was 25, 5, 1.33. SO that Scythe is definitely a cut above the rest, unless it's also a higher tier. I'm doing pretty poorly right now, or was until desperation forced me to master the iron bow and hunt everything in sight for an hour or two.

Shooting down automatic-wielding Apex rebels with bow and arrow is pretty darn satisfying. BD

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

So I just started playing today and found some interesting things like a boat anchro set in an open plains (have yet to build up to see if there's a spaceboat or something) and some kind of underground sludge biome thingy. iron is rather rare it seems.

It also appears that you can't make an iron pickaxe, but you can make them out of silver and gold etc.

Also, spears would probably be more useful if you could actually aim them maybe?

I did a starbound safari!

Not a whole lot but I was distracted with actually playing the game.

Na, the scythe is iron tier. Although like most Hylotl weapons, there is a delay on the attack, meaning you need to very carefully time your attacks before hand, you can't spam and pray.

Although speaking of tiers, how do I make steel?
