Oooooooooo very fancy! I really like Prisilium! I hope there will be quite a few different ores to mine, combine, and discover in the final game
All of the minerals and ores look MUCH better, all with just a nicer look to them. I hated how everything was in ingots, so It's nice to see a little variety. And what's Prisilium? Sounds awesome, like a rainbow gem. I can't wait for that.
Fantastic! Good to see some progress as a result of this. Nice to see some greater visual differentiation. Awesome that this will help the game be more inclusive for people with colour blindness; it's great to see you (and Chucklefish as a whole) take inclusiveness seriously.
so no more gold or silver then? i do like the rainbow ores tho im gessing your not adding in the ores that dont build things core fragment/moonstone right?
I'm just glad Coal won't now be the most valuable item in game : it used to be needed for travel, torches, fire, and every single alloy. It seems super smart to utilize the Plutonium, Uranium, and oil in place of coal. way to be chucklefish hopefully oil will be easy to find (or at least extract from Tar as well) now that fluids are easy to pick up
I like the look of this, it sounds like a sort of Industrial system going on here, all we need are pipes and generators!
Nice! So Solarium is not needed in making stronger alloys yet? More to come? Does the oil for the steel mean only oil or can coal be used too? (I'll guess so) And using it for Steel must mean oil is collectable at Tier1? Does that mean the Fluid collector thing from the post of the 4th is a T1 item? Anybody knows the planned construction costs / recipe? If I had a wish it would be better distinction between Silver and Platinum.
Wait, Iron + Oil makes steel? I thought it was Iron + coal... Also, Is there any shame if I don't know half of the ores? :-/
From the Durasteel recipe, I can see that adding together pink (Titanium) and green (Uranium) results in black (Durasteel). Congrats, you've completely changed the MMO formula of "Black is cool" to now require bright pink and bright green! "You don't understand, I need that bright pink for my armor! It will be so cool!"
I am making an educated guess that it's to do with the liquid gun: http://playstarbound.com/august-4th-liquidity/
I just love the idea of being a space miner and discovering so many of those ores you guys have put in.
Huh, so this is obviously separated into tiers- 7 for now. I wonder what's the deal with tier 7, solarium and the mysterious Prisilium? Solarium makes Prisilium, then you use Prisilium to... augment your armors and weapons, I assume? Hmm. Also, what's now the deal with copper, silver, gold, platinum and diamond? I guess they're just for picks and drills now... Edit- Ooh, maybe it's Solarium+Diamond=Prisilium. That would make sense and be snazzy.
