    I like how you have to travel to certain biomes to get specific plant seed in terraria. which is make sense too considered those flowers fit right in to the environment.


    Since you might have to think about farming how about tier for cloth.
    Easy one would be from normal plant therefore tier 1.
    Then hard to get flower or plant would be tier 2 like you know ... Fireblossom ( take me forever to get one )
    and leathers ores oil so on

    finally rares drop form Boss? Quest whatever in tier 5 6 7 ?

    Do you know those high rendering outtakes of WoW expansions? I just pictured Starbound being in a 3D high resolution animation. Would be cool if someone made this, lol. By the Starbound Team or an extremely skilled fan.X3 Imagined a detailed grass field with some flowers, a close zoom up on the eyes of a bird in the grass.. Reflection of light in the bird's eyes.. Then suddenly an Explorer beamed down to the planet, raising up dust everywhere as he hits the ground at an excelerated force and wearing an amazing looking suit with some high tech weapon. Birds being scattered away... That's as far as I imagined a Starbound 3D High Rendering Trailer, lol. It would be cool.. xD

    The only thing that gets me about the background are the cracks. Are they supposed to be rivers? Some of them are dark.

    You could get fabrics made form the hides animals drop, as well as the fibers you can harvest from types of plants

    There could be crops like cotton for fabrics. Cobwebs would also work. Monster leather? Monster scales? Some kind of monster drop?

    Maybe you could 3D Print materials needed? Maybe just for later in the game?

    Ah, an armor dying system! My heart is aflutter! With fields of flowers and a singing system in place we can totally act out the scene from "The Sound of Music"!

    Ahem, yes. In all manliness though pretty cool update. I think there should be an option to either hand knit all your tailored clothes or synthesize them through a totally masculine machine. Keeps the best of both worlds for everyone's preferences.

    Yeah, I think the red lighting should fit with the sky in the background as well. It would look better that way.
    Never mind, this was the 17th update. I'm not sure what you mean in that case.

    I don't think it's just the cracks. Yeah, those are odd for sure. The really big, dark one on the left is for sure a crack. The others, however, are what look like rivers. Admittedly, I thought they were bolts of lightning at first. There is just a lack of trees and it doesn't necessarily scream African Savannah. It just seems like a rushed background.

    Tanned animal hide/fur, cotton, hemp. If you want to get reeeal technical you could add ducks for down, and sheep for wool. This opens up the possiblity to make cocoon sleeping bags and parkas for extreme cold-weather environments.

    Fibers?
    Take the dwarf fortress strategy, you can have some kind of loom/wheel that lets you spin metal/cloth from ores/plants.
    That way, you can add EVEN MORE CRAZY COMPLEXITY!
    METAL FOR THE METAL GOODS
    FLORANS FOR MY NEW SHOES

    I think Kevlar should be a craft able material to make things like Kevlar vests, helmets ext. for this particular set of armor it would be better at protecting against projectiles and ballistic firearms than melee weapons, explosives or energy weapons. What do you think?

    How about some planets have these spider silk tumbleweeds that blow past occasionally. You have to hit them or shoot them, they "crack" open and you get the silky reward.

    Tiy, that is an awesome screenshot! Just look at that planet man, you're a genius!

    Clothing comes from a loom! :iswydt:

    Seriously though, it would be really cool if each race brought something unique to how you obtain mats to make simple cloth, and what kind of cloth you get. Wool, Silk, Cotton, etc.

    Insomnia won't be until late August, so we probably have to wait AT LEAST until September for a beta. At least that's what is assumed. I don't think they would release the beta before they show a public demonstration.


    Update is looking good though! Maybe for fabric, you need to obtain silk from alien silk worms that randomly pop out of dirt patches on the planet's surface? the challenge is that they pop their heads up quickly and you have to be quick to knock them out and harvest their silk?

    And maybe better quality fabrics are harder to obtain. Like to get the golden silk from a golden orb weaver spider web you have to kill the spider first, or maybe you have to craft some expensive shears to get wool from sheep. Stuff like that.
