Info about the upcoming patch!

They are talking about backward compatability for characters and ships. It doesn't mean that there is no room for amazing ideas in future. It means that they will be able to push those new ideas without character wipes.

 

TY for the info

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he means people flipping because they're more invested in their characters (due to no wipes) and as such react more negatively to new changes that alter the experience they haven gotten used to.

 

"New random encounters"
GAHH, THIS COULD MEAN SO MUCH.
All the more reason to finally start playing again.
Been waiting far too long for this final wipe.

 

YOU COME FROM THE FUTURE!!! (It's still the 13th west of the East American Coast)

 

I'm, if not fully, satisfactorily satisfied to my satisfaction with ships and characters being secured against wipes. I feel confident that the game will eventually contain larger player ships, so worlds continuing to be wiped means not a whole lot to me. I can just fill my ship with lab lockers 'til then.

 

Permadeath and memory leak fixes ftw. Could care less about hats at this stage but if they're ready might as well throw them in there. Lotta Debbie Downers about the new patch announcement, I guess some people never find joy in anything.
Thanks CF Team!

 

>Three weeks.
Jeez, man. It's been less than two weeks. The devs took time off during the holidays to do their own thing. It was also stated this update would mostly be bugfixes.

 

Yay bug fixes!

 

I don't understand why people complains about the changelog not revealing all. Part of me is pretty sure those same people would be here complaining that the patch was ready, why do the lazy developers don't implement it! If they posted all they have now.
I was hoping for a patch this week, knowing it will be next week gives me some peace of mind. Thank you chucklefish.
Small patches often sounds great, and will probably keep me logging every day.
I too expect the universe to change even if my characters don't get wiped, but i don't really mind. The right balance have to found, more content need to appear and it will keep the beta "fresh" .

 

I think you're wrong should ask an author of the original message about that.

And altering expirience is usually a good thing.

 

Small world, I was having a discussion about this at.. Ahem, work today. The game is going to change so much it seems obvious that you wouldn't want to commit too much to a character or construction unless you're honest with yourself. I would expect changes to be made that would require a new character or reseed at this stage. My fellow star explorer agreed. But, this is likely a topic for another thread.

 

i think that there should be gun crafting stations

 

Almost forgot it said hats, that is something else I am interested in beyond the whole no character/ship wipe needed after this.

Wondering though if the changes to crafting table speed will apply to the 3D printer as well, since that is bout' as slow due to the amount you can have in one window. Especially the search function. At any rate I am sure they will get changed/optimized or what ever is needed eventually, even if it isn't this next one.

Pondering the many things said in the feature list mentioned, like the random encounters one. Curiosity I guess, but I'll see when it happens, maybe; if the RNG likes me that day...lol

 

Actually you can. When you create a character, when you select clothes one of the clothing options is your underwear, so just change to the underwear first, then change the color, then pick your clothes and finish your character.

EDIT: I double checked this after people said it was incorrect, and it is indeed false. I could have swore you could but NOPE! Don't know where I thought I saw that. I apologize. My intent was not to mislead anyone.

 

If the update was only this, I would still be happy. Can't wait to make giant machines.

 

You are always on the prowl to post something cool about the update, aren't you?

Good job teasing us on the upcoming patch, Molly. I'm ready for it!

 

Ain't that what steam is for?

 

tiy tweeted "The update isn't far off now, we're trying to include universe backwards compatability along side character backwards compatibility"
- this means they can tweak thing without wiping the characters

 

Not true. Just tried it with the human race. I can only switch between clothes, but not to the underwear.
