Starbound Nightly Beta Findings or Interesting Things

I hope they won't change this on release of the update (as in, make it "manipulate" less blocks).

Love it!

 

I thought they removed that boss! How did you spawn it in?

 

that boss has been in sence the game 1st came out i thought
its just imposable to summon normaly

 

What @Rainbow Dash said. But for the curious, here's how to spawn every boss and unique monster so far, inlcuding Tentacomet that was shown by @Owl_Stalker :

/spawnmonster allergen
/spawnmonster apexbrainmutant
/spawnmonster apexmutant
/spawnmonster aviansentry
/spawnmonster chesttrapper
/spawnmonster chicken
/spawnmonster cleaningbot
/spawnmonster dragonboss
/spawnmonster giftmonster
/spawnmonster giftmonstersmall
/spawnmonster glitchknight
/spawnmonster glitchspider
/spawnmonster heckblob
/spawnmonster invisibleprojectile
/spawnmonster jellyboss
/spawnmonster megapo
/spawnmonster micropo
/spawnmonster missile
/spawnmonster penguingeneral
/spawnmonster penguinMiniUfo
/spawnmonster penguinrockettrooper
/spawnmonster penguinTank
/spawnmonster penguintrooper
/spawnmonster penguinUfo
/spawnmonster penguinufobeam
/spawnmonster penguinufocharge
/spawnmonster pinfriend
/spawnmonster po
/spawnmonster pogolem
/spawnmonster poptop
/spawnmonster pulsecannon
/spawnmonster regularexplosion2
/spawnmonster repairbot
/spawnmonster robotboss
/spawnmonster robotchicken
/spawnmonster serpentdroid
/spawnmonster sewerfly
/spawnmonster skeyejelly
/spawnmonster swarpion
/spawnmonster tentaclecomet
/spawnmonster tentaclecometspore
/spawnmonster toxicfly
/spawnmonster toxicgolem

Note: what's interesting are that some boss projectiles are actually technically monsters. Try using /spawnmonster missile for example.

Oh, and the behaviour for Tentacomet is borked. You will need to spawn him inside a box of blocks or he will fly off.

edit: If you haven't already seen it, @Giant Enemy Dinosaur then you may find this thread interesting and useful for playing with nightly builds.

 

Heeey! A reason to use the manipulator again! Tunelling to the center of the earth is suddenly FUN!

 

its kinda cool looking in etch nightly the moon base gets bigger and bigger eatch time

right now its just huge empty blocks of wall but in some parts it is finshed and in others it isnt

 

I usually use the Super Fishaxe for that.

 

Certainly already flagged but

Once you repair your ship engine (100 px and 20 core ores) then the ship main storage gets reseted to the content from the game beginning (sword, weath, torchlight)
Everything else is deleted

 

It depends on the user's situation and needs. Super Fishaxe is certainly unparalleled in speed but it destroys the blocks instead of mining them.

 

Just ran across a legendary weapon type I've never seen before. Try spawning yourself a slavesword.

 

Sorry to ruin the fun, but slaves word is in stable.
Also, Agarans.

 

Something that I found to be kind of odd is that I haven't found only found one cave, and that one was a mine shaft, so kind of odd,

 

I only figured the sword was new because I had never run across one before.

EDIT: it it just me, or is shift-clicking to loot containers causing a lot of crashes?

 

I noticed that with the matter manipulator upgraded fully it can be used quite effectively as a type of x-ray vision. Similar to how the flashlight worked when the lighting was all wonky a week or so back.

 

Ooh, that's interesting. Very useful too, of course.

 

So people finally got their matter manipulator...

 

This might bit much but its "death" should be a kamikaze attack.

what? I've never seen one of these, ever!

 

That's actually a really interesting idea!

 

...Technically, it is possible to die when the penguin UFO crash-lands...

 

We used to be able to look at the entire screen in this same way back a couple prime updates ago. Course, we didn't have the nice size upgrade.

It's nice to see this make a comeback.
