[sbuniverse.net] Starbound Universe: Painstakingly Mapping the Stars

That brought to my attention two problems, one, I had a restriction on searching(had to have at least 3 options chosen to search) to bring the load down from my server, and the fact that I dont need that anymore
Also, there are no airships in the database yet

 

Added common searches under the search area, I'll make it look prettier after I get back.

 

Surprised nobody has said this, but you should really add a column for game version the seed was found in. Old seeds can easily be out of date due to changes to world gen and other stuff.

 

Sounds like a good idea, but whenever it updates with world gen, I just purge the database and start over because there is no reason when you cant backdate it.

 

well you can backdate it or decide not to update but really can you honestly say you'll know every time seeds change? And if you were to just wipe every update then actual still working seeds would be lost.

 

The devs usually say when the generation changes, and I check after each update on 10 or 12 of the seeds to see if they are no longer working before purging. Having 3 different versions of Starbound coordinates on the site could be confusing for people who don't know the current version or who don't bother to check.

 

No actually they don't always note changes to generation, there are alot of less notable changes thrown into those updates that don't get mentioned. Checking 10-12 seeds each update is very time consuming I'll be surprised if you can keep that up. The version is plainly noted in the main menu of the game and on the launcher, as well as there being on the main page of the website, and on top of that you could easily note the current version of the game on your website.

 

You make a sound statement. I'll think about it.

 

Thinking about adding a rating system; concerned about database size if I do it.

 

i may have look at this

 

I think I may have figured out a way to make the rating system without using up too much database size. You can expect it to be included soon

 

This. Is taking longer than expected.

 

so every universe wipe, when coords all change, do you wipe the site clean and start over?

 

Aren't dungeons/villages ALSO randomized? I could swear I went to a specific planet who's coordinates I'd logged after a universe wipe and a completely different dungeon was there instead of the one I remembered.

Also, I'm looking for a particular system that doesn't seem to be on the list. Does anyone know the coordinates to the X Zerus system?

Speaking of, I notice in the search it asks for planet name. Aren't the planets all just named after the star in numerical order?

Like, the Zerus system would have Zerus I, Zerus II, Zerus III and so on...

 

When you say universe wipe, do you mean that you manually deleted your universe, or that a patch wiped worlds? If the latter: Patches only wipe universes when worldgen changes.

 

I can't remember. I remember manually deleting my universe at one point but I can't remember if that was before or after the discovery.

Anyway, I visited the exact same planet at the exact same system coordinates twice and it had a different dungeon each time.

 

Has the OP wiped the StarboundCoords database yet? I have a coord I'd like to share with this new update

 

Sorry, had to make sure it actually changed. (Even though it said it did xD)
Also, you can still submit coordinates, it stores it in a seprate database for review
Purging the database now.

Edit: Okay, purged and ready for more coordinates

 

Updated the site a bit to make approving coordinates easier for me. Also, voting is almost complete!

 

Added reputation to the website! Enjoy!
