First creature I saw on MP was an evil Mudkip. Yeah, they look like Pokemans.
Evil, bloodthirsty Pokemans. That have been cross bred with cliff racers. The most annoying things in the universe.

Edit: didn't finish; got attacked by a fluffy wambler and almost died while typing.

Pemmican is pretty incredibly durable. Corn and rice also lust forever without refrigeration.
Ah yes, the insatiable lust of corn and rice, clearly two of the most erotic foods.

Gotta watch it, those things will take your head off.

... I just saw some pictures of the later tier Glitch armors. They're. They're TERRIBLE. I mean seriously. Terrible. The entire suit of armor is basically just one long helmet with 3+ sets of eyes. It looks completely ridiculous. And not in a cool or humorous way. I mean, you have a race that gives you a legitimate excuse to make some cool looking super medieval-esque armor in a sci-fi game... and you make that? I mean, I know everyone has different taste but... damn. I might not play any glitch characters. The first five tiers look cool and all but... damn.

I mean, I suppose I could bum armor off of different races if I went into multiplayer... but I want decent looking glitch armor that I don't have to cover up with vanity slots in shame.

I wish traps could actually damage enemies...

Also, I wish there was a horizontal door of some kind, so you could make little drawbridges.
Some sort of Glitch false floor exists.
Yep.

I once found a Glitch house and saw the false floor. Went down and got electro grenades from the secret chest! :D

Althouhg.

Is it just me or are random-gen weapons consistently underpowered in DPS past Alpha sector now?

Nope. Sturgeon's Revelation is very much in effect for random-gen weapons, but I've found ones that are much better than Impervium craftables.

Does the size of the planets matter in navigation view? I started on a small forest planet, and have an enormous desert planet in my home system.

I think that display size does affect how large a planet is when you explore it. It seems to me that I spend at least twice as long circumnavigating the big spheres than I do the small ones...
It does. Small ones can be circled in <1 day, very large ones can take as many as four or five days, if you don't have the energy to continually energy-dash sky-surf/blinkspam past obstacles and mobs.

Place them, leave the area, come back.

Yep. This. Once I actually saw how profoundly stupid their armor looks I'm disinclined to play the race ever now, even if I could just toss one of the low tier sets into the vanity slots. I kinda like the Apex and USCM aesthetics better, anyway.

So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

I've noticed that alien critters always try to sneak up on you if you are in their line of sight and you are not looking at them.

Hopefully someone steps up and mods the later glitch armors. That would the one mod I used every time, hands down. Because playing a Robot Knight pleases me.

Bloody hell I want the big one. That is biggest hat, and thus bestest hat. My hat would clip through all the walls! As well as passing celestial bodies.

Ah, I forget who was modding flowers and mushrooms to be growable, but digging through the timers makes me think the grown time on shrooms is about an hour and a half from planting to mature. You can lower the duration to something sane (or ludicrously fast like 10,12) to check them out without waiting for hours to check changes.

Speaking of which, someone said crops don't grow unless you're near them. Do we have exact data on how close you have to be? I wouldn't even know where to start looking for that (not yet delved into modding).

This turned out to not be true. I've left a ship with newly-planted crops and returned to ones ready for harvesting. It's just that non-staples grow painfully slow.
