Starbound Nightly Beta Findings or Interesting Things

If I'm correct, that's part of the design. I would tell you more, but I don't want to release any spoilers.

 

i know that
i was just commenting on that it was added into the game
i think its fine here to post spoilers based on this is a nightly spoiler topic
ofcorse use spoiler tags if they arnt in the nightlys

 

won't "NightlyBringer" ring right? =)

 

So more info about the Matter Manipulator ship problem:

If you delete your world currently, but keep your player... you keep you MM. Kewl. (Or, if you are like me, and the game hard crashes and you need to reboot your PC after wandering around a planet... and return to a reset universe when you start up... this also applies..)

Problem is, the ship is reset and the AI has the two options: Fix thrusters, Get MM.

If you click MM, the AI comes back with "Error" or some such generic one word response and doesn't advance. You also cannot delete your MM so that you can get a new one, and you cannot advance your MM upgrades any further since the options will never appear.

Just something I think peeps and devs ought to know.

 

I've got an issue with the last nighly :c
It takes a reaally long time to be launched, and then, when I create a new char and try to play with it, the game will just crash. I've already deleted universe and player folders, as well as starbound.config file, but to no use. Any halp?

 

the files that contain your ship upgrades are in the universe foulder for some reason
so if it crashes (aka resets) or you delete it manuly it will bug your ship AI and "currupt" your char

 

I'm getting the long loads and random crashes, myself. I can make a character fine, move around, do a bit, but every other planet I land on causes the game to hang then crash on me.


EDIT: tonight's dl just dropped, so I'm gonna see if anything changed.

EDIT EDIT: Load time seems fixed, and the only crashes I seem to get now are the same inventory related crashes I've been getting periodically since the start of the nightly betas. (the "Fatal Exception Caught: (InventoryException) Not allowed to discard stack when locked." one)

 

Aww yis it works perfectly fine now . I found about the nightlys a few days ago and I really wanted to play them but those last two updates were broken for me x)

 

There's a new mission dungeon I've been noticing in @Kawa 's changelists- namely, the Floran Hunting Grounds/Floran main mission. Anyone have any idea how to find it or what it's like?

 

Randomly found, honestly. Pretty much it looks like an overgrown stone temple ruins, with spike pits everywhere.

 

its easy to see if new items get added into the game
just open the crafting window in admin mode and look for -todo-

most new items are named this

 

Oh noes! My char has been captured by the Georghippers!

This happened upon spawning on Alpha Sigma Ori 91 I a (X:2 Y:20)

There's a WHOLE NEW DUNGEON down there, full of Skull lamps, spike pits, weird pictograms and Trap Chests! Not to mention all kinds of unusual traps that either drop acid on you or bury you in bones.

Sadly, all of them are missing their Wires, so they don't work yet. Can't wait to see this place fully functional!

 

did that bart statue spawn with it or did you place it there?

 

The GeorgeV Statue spawned with it. That's why I said the place was a temple of the Georghippers.

 

I tried to play nightly with a friend the day before yesterday. We didn't like our starting planet, made a new world, almost the exact same planet. Did it again and got almost the same thing. After around our 4th planet we gave up because all we could get was the same planet with small differences like sometimes there were no trees. Is the first planet meant to only be garden until you go somewhere else?

 

In Nightly, yes. I'm not sure if that's that case in the future.

 

well if i remember right the game as of now always starts on the same planet
to get a new one you have to delete the univerce file

 

Well shit, I'm an idiot. I guess I wasted 2 hours trying to get a different planet for no reason.

 

it will still be a garden biome tho
and those as of now always have the same pinetrees
tho if your lucky it might have a forest subbiome inwitch you can get other trees

 

For reasons no other than pure, unadulterated bragging, I just FULLY REDESIGNED AND REBUILT my BIGGAH BIGGAH BASE from the Stable on the Nightly (I isolated a copy of it, to create my own, pseudo Unstable Patch and avoid unwanted wipes) using all sorts of stuff from the Nighly. So, without further delay..... BEHOLD!! NEW BIGGAH BIGGAH BASE!



Oh, and for the record, those are 3 screencaps taken at x1 Zoom merged together. I am still planning to add more stuff to it, such as a Skyrail, a Floating Dance Club, and an Underground Water Reservoir....
