Teir 3 Progressing Question: Are Platinum & Titanium Ores being generated (besides in chests)?

Titanium right to the spawn, tiny walk

every world is completely random no 2 people will have the exact same world

 

Spent AGES on a lvl 20 planet looking for some titanium.
Then I switched to a lvl 30 and titanium had practically taken over iron.

 

so basicaly.. to get titanium to make level 25 fucking armour

you need to go to level 30-40 zones which is illogical

 

Titanium spawns (I got 1000 ore in ~30 minutes) in level 20-30 planets in the 3rd sector, deeper down the better.
Platinum spawns (I got about 300 ore in ~30 minutes) in level 30-40 planets in the 4th sector, deeper down the better.

Sadly Platinum does not spawn (as intended) in 20-30 planets, making the armor virtually impossible to get. You need to cheese the boss, and get to the 4th sector in order to make it. However, it's easier to craft Durasteel Armor in Tier 4 which is better than anything else you can make at that time. There is no real, legit, progression path currently. There is also no armor capable of withstanding attacks from level 30+ monsters. When you are given armor, it is always much much weaker than what you need to progress.

Hopefully this upcoming patch will fix all this.

Sigh. How are people still claiming this, did you not follow the game at all?

 

Progression is completely broken on the later parts of the game.
But hey that's why it's the first stage of a beta right now.

I would expect the ores to be easier to get once the difficulty system is adjusted in the next patch.

 

To me it almost feels like the 3rd and 4th sector got "swapped".
Platinum is everywhere in sector 4 (lv 40) but not sector 3 (lv 30), however titanium is not in sector 4 (lv 40) where the crafting recipes require a lot of them...
Maybe it's just my luck...

Still waiting for the patch, getting one-shotted by everything is not fun, so is exploiting the game.
Can't wait for the game to become even more awesome tho!

 

I've found Uranium and Titanium but never Platinum ore.
I've got the Steel armour set so any monster insta kills me, even in BETA sector planets there's many monsters who instakill me
Problem is, in order to make Titanium armour I need Platinum armour. But I haven't found any platinum, haha
It seems the platinum needs to be on earlier planets.

My way to progress have been building in enemies, then attacking them

 

I'm stuck on tier 3. I can't find any platinum aside from chests.

 

I love how everyone is asking for coordinates when star maps are random.
Someone may find a planet in their game that doesn't exist in another person's play file.
In fact, this is pretty much always the case.

 

They're claiming that because it is true.
Just ask anyone to give you co-ordinates from a planet they have visited.
You will either find a different planet there or empty space.
The enemies are all random too, you could watch 20 people play for 100 hours and not see the same monsters as in your game.
This is one of the selling points of the game, the randomization.

 

Actually the universe is mostly the same for everyone.

The coordinates are world generation seeds, much like in Minecraft.

 

Prove it.
I've seen several people just in this thread give co-ordinates and the other people tell them there is empty space at that co-ordinate.

 

Again, simply not true. I've used cords from other people at least 2 dozen times with no issues. The cords you are using are incorrect, or you aren't using them correctly. I've farmed many dungeons and other things by using multiple cords found on http://starboundcoords.cu.cc/

Cords point to a galaxy, dead center of your star map is the correct galaxy. You click on that, then you need to find the correct cluster of planets (easy because it's either, I, II, III, etc and that's in the planet name). Then the a, b, c, etc at the end of the planet name says which planet it is in that cluster. That's why it's important to include the full planet name. After you figure out how to use cords, it's very simple and only takes a few seconds to find the correct planet.

Sharing cords is an advertised feature of the game that has been talked about many, many, times during development.

 

Co-ordinates as long as they correct will lead to similar planets.
Structured things like Tech Chests, Buildings, Villagers, biomes, chests, etc will be the same.
Stuff like Ore Generation may be completely different.

 

Okay sure, gimme a sec. Trying this one:

Hmm, his coordinates are a tad off, they are on a different planet on the same system.
I found it anyway.

I'm guessing that people just aren't typing the "-".
Whether the coordinate is minus or not obviously makes a huge difference.




Edit: doesn't seem like forums are showing uploaded images correctly. I suppose I have to upload it somewhere else.

Here you go.

Then I stand corrected.

 

Yeah I am finding so much Titanium but no Platinum at all.... at least I know now that it's not just me ^_^

 

http://www.reddit.com/r/starbound/comments/1siuu6/1292013_changelog_v_annoyed_koala/ Looks like possibly adressing to the ore problem here.

 

I found LOTS of platinum on this one jungle planet I think. I dug down until I got to flesh blocks and bone blocks and had to keep a campfire with me because it got cold quickly the deeper I was going. It had to be a level 3 planet because I haven't gone any farther. Seriously check it out, maybe there's something there in the beta sector. I can't find titanium though. It's strange...
