goddamit, I was browsing Scott Manley's videos for his update to his KSP series, saw him trying starbound, and next thing I know I'm on steam downloading it. I mean, that guy should get paid to play games and stream them on youtube, he'd make a paint-drying sim seem interesting(not that starbound didn't seem interesting even without him playing it, mind you!)

Ooh. Aussie B12 server.

I could get behind that.

[MagmaMcFry]

I built a robot, when the server's back up I'll kill it with you guys.

I'm still at work, is the weapon patch okay? Did it fix the "mech" not being able to kill creatures which you encounter when you craft it?

That is a good question, I haven't tried the mech yet... But for the most part weapons seem pretty spot on. Some might say a bit under powered, but I think they are just used to 1 hit KOs all day.

Weapons feel much better. If you keep your armor up to par, most fights end up being 3-5 hit battles with some maneuvering, instead of 1-shot fests for either side. I took down the first boss with a standard bow, an axe, and some bandages without any problem and without building an arena of any kind.

The birds are more aggressive though. It's Morrowind's cliff racers, except instead of annoying they're bloodpuking conveyers of death.

No idea on the Mech though, never seen one in-game.

Guys I found another awesome bug: You can repair diamond pickaxes with copper ore.

Been like that for a while.

There is way too much aggressive fauna at the moment. I just want to walk sideways and I keep having to deal with all of these annoyances. Maby make animals that are much weaker than the player non-agressive.

[MagmaMcFry]

I found matter blocks! 10 of them!

[Max White]

Where? How? When? What do they do?

[MagmaMcFry]

I found 15 in multiplayer from a dungeon. There was this red... thing that I activated. I spewed out matter blocks that caused 100 damage if they hit you, then they settled on the ground as regular blocks.

Same here.

I think they need only to settle down with bird aggro range, projectile attack strength, and maybe gently lower or add some planet-based variance to just how many hostile mobs will spawn at once. As is, it is more than a little overwhelming, and weapons don't do what they used to for the situation.

Weapons, however, are spot-on, and it genuinely feels good to get tied up in fast-paced combat with 2-3 mobs... until a bird joins in.

My UFO fight was hell, not because I couldn't handle the boss, but because I was interrupted by a total of TWELVE blood-spitting birds over the course of the battle. And to think, there are a moderate number of people on the SB forums arguing that these are a well-balanced challenge.

Ugh. 700mb patch which I leave it on overnight to finish, and now I jump on and it's a 500mb patch.

I will be so, so very happy when my net is no longer capped.

Enjoy your fast net. Here on our (specifically, my) side, we deal with ~23kbp/s at best due to Steam's faster-than-normal-downloading, as I see it.
