To a certain extent the fact that you can plop down a fire to entirely negate the danger of cold (beyond annoyance) does limit things a bit

[Canisaur]

So, does every planet have a breathable atmosphere?  Or do you need some sort of breathing apparatus for some places?

My starting planet was awesome.

Name: Alpha 30 per 40 III
x 53348776
y 80698936

castle with 2k pixel loot and hostile inhabitants on the opposite side of the forest planet - half of the planet is one giant flower field, in case you need petals.
arid level 2 planet in the same system: sliiiiime. and sewage blocks - almost as if the planet was some kind of giant sewage disposal site.
deeper down the arid planet has obsidian - back in an hour when i'm done digging through that...
lots of gold - beacon was cheesed. updating "soon"  -  but first i explore the rest of the system.

Steam thinks Starbound still runs after crashing. Does anybody know a way to fix this without restarting Steam?

CTRL+ALT+DELETE to bring up the Task Manager, pick the Processes tab, select "Starbound.exe", click "End Process" button.  That worked for me, at least.

I mean crash as in it also closed. There is no starbound.exe or anything else that smells like starbound running atm.

Even no launcher running?

No. It was there before the crash though.

Just found this:

What's can go wrong...?

[Twi]

OOh, Apex. Shiny.

Meanwhile, I FINALLY got molten core by cheeesing the hell out of the ufo. Now let's see if I can just make the damn 300 pixels and get the darn metalworking station to advance to the dang next tier.

[Mephisto]

I'm getting jelly of everyone's finds.

On my main world, I have so far found:

Two clothiers living out in the woods, one of who might not sell stuff to me anymore after I accidentally shot her
One doctor guy living in a medieval tower
Three hostiles with energy rifles, just hanging out on a hillside

In hindsight, the hostiles might not have started hostile. Them attacking might have been in response to another accidental shooting. After killing the first attacker, I catch a glimpse of one of the others saying "You killed <name>", though that might be a reference to South Park.

[BigD145]

I keep finding neat things on snow planets and moons, but I'm not a penguin so I can't even stay long.

the beta sector needs some serious balancing

[kisame12794]

Well, beta is beta. The game, not the sector.

Basic changelog for tonight's version:

So the forums are horribly overloaded right now, despite being on blisteringly fast servers. So I figured I'd post this here in the mean time.

    Massively reducing the pixel cost (sometimes eliminating it entirely) on early weapons/armor. You can build a refinery in later tiers to turn ores of all kinds into pixels. (done)

    Make the refinery appear earlier in the game (done)

    Reduced fuel costs a bit to go to other planets (done)

    Tweaked wording of starter quests to encourage exploring of more planets. (done)

    Added hunting knife weapon that also makes monsters drop meat (done)

    Pixel loss on death reduced to 20% for testing, might change further (done)

    [16:27] <Mortvert> Tiy_, Also, could you make silver more visible, please? (Done)

    Added new armor that provides a good amount of warmth early on in the game at the sacrifice of armor levels. (done)

    Tweaked the UFO boss to make him smash blocks. (done)

    Also make him a little bit easier by changing him to level 9 from level 10 (done)

    Revamping the warmth bar to make it more obvious (suggestion by thedbp on reddit) http://i.imgur.com/O2IYd6k.png (done)

    Increase mining speed a little (done)

    Add numbers above the hotbar slots http://i.imgur.com/qTJiFrS.png (done)

    Tons of bug fixes

    Bartwe is working on the windows XP issues, not sure yet if it'll be done by tonight but fingers crossed.

This is just what I've done so far this morning, I'll add to this list as more is added for tonights update.
