[Flying Dice]

I've had equal numbers of everyone but fishmen.

So far, it seems that I've only encountered only Avians. I'm pretty sure they're the most likely option when genning a planet.

This isn't true I'm sure. Most villages and towns I've ran into myself are glitch or apex. I've only ran into one small (Very small, one guard and 2 civilians) Avian settlement, a lone human merchant, a couple of floran houses, and just today some very strange avian houses that people vanished from. I don't think anyone is more common than anyone, other than humans  (And I think hyotl too) being rarer since they have no towns.

Humans have both USMC bases and prison colonies, which effectively serve as the dungeon and town variants for them. I've only encountered a single prison colony, but it covered the entire world.

Since we have a lot of Florian players, I decided to share the coordinates for my current planet. It has plant trees, green grass, and poison lakes. It has poison chests, which can contain blueprints for a flower lamp thing and a backpack that boosts your energy recovery rate depending on the light level.

Wait, aren't USMC bases hostile? I haven't ran into one myself but I remember people saying the marines shot at them. That's... Not exactly a town.

I think the bases are dungeons and the prisons are towns...


Anyway I have figured out why this game reminds me of Final Fantasy XII... Similar style of music! Both games have this wonderful kind of epic/scenic soundtrack.

I went into a USCM prison with my Apex and they were rather hostile. It looked like the prison was abandoned by the staff and left to the prisoners though. Are the prisons usually like that?

I don't know if this was a thing previously, but after the most recent patch I've noticed that NPCs react differently depending on whether you have a weapon equipped or not. Like, at a small avian market with a guard, the guard sticks close to you with a weapon equipped, warning you that bad things might happen. Once you put it away, the guard calms down and thanks you for acting peacefully.

My experiences with prisons say they are also dungeons.  The whole being killed in one hit with a broom back when it was level 40 was my biggest hint.

It's been a thing.  It happens at major towns.

For wood to coal, I personally like the current ratio, but admit that that it depends on your current situation. On a forested world, gathering 2000 wood (enough to leave the system) is child's play, and shouldn't take you more than a dedicated 8 minutes. It's a reasonable alternative to scouring the surface or aimless delving into the earth in search of every last scrap of the stuff, without cheapening travel at early stages of the game.

Crap weapons are crap, but I'm not sure about crafted weapon imbalance yet. I certainly noticed a difference moving from the broken sword to an iron hammer- namely, that the number of hits it required to kill an average Alpha Sector mob went from 4-5 to 2-3. Not a huge change in terms of DPS, but it meant I could end battles more quickly and deal with more enemies at once.

It would be nice if they increased the average quality of weapon drops, without hitting such a rate that made crafted weapons obsolete. If the average drop is as good or better than what we can make ourselves, we'll stop gathering ores around the 3rd tier and just farm dungeons for gear, then start complaining about fuel costs. This seems to be a different dynamic than what the Devs are aiming for, based on the various updates.

Most of my encounters are split between Apex and Apex ruins, USCM bases or prisons, and the.... I think they're renegade Glitch with the monolithic polyhedron labs that have the matter makers.

They're not Glitch, despite the robotic look. They're Avian. They have Avian names and threatened my character for 'spitting in the face of Kluex'.
Those facilities are... unusual really. They have Avian occupants, with a heavy use of pyramids and crystals which further suggest an Avian origin, but the materials and furniture are more what I'd expect from an Apex lab, especially the pits full of tesla spikes. Also worthy of note is that some of the guards mentioned being 'compelled' to attack me.

Ooh! Oooh!

In the "Kluex Delusion" codex series, multiple connections are made between big ape and Kluex, including mind control technology, spy satellites, and more.

Non hostile snail headed bipeds. I call them Snaliens.



Creepy Floran I saved from a rampaging thing, which got me a nice 12 dps hammer that inflicts 3 burning damage every tic for a few seconds.

She doesn't seem entirely grateful. That, or their concept of "reward" is slightly more... visceral, than in other cultures.

There are perks to being inorganic.

No idea how many Goa'uld armor types I will make, but I will definitely make some more.

I am officially requesting Tau armor from Warhammer 40k. That shit's awesome >_>
