Starbound Nightly Beta Findings or Interesting Things

no,
the games not competly done yet so your stuck

you cant progress anyways so i would sugest just spawning shipT3
and while your at it roboticcraftingtable also

 

Well that's a bummer. Christmon Jack (you Novakid you). You had a cool sounding name.

Thank you for clearing this up with me. I'm aware that I 'could' always spawn items, but either way, his story began, and ended there in that galaxy.

Edit: Well... apparently, subsequently made characters... ended up spawning on that same planet, in that same galaxy... welp, I think that now's a good time to backup and delete the universe.

 

Yeah, deleting the universe is the only way to get a new starting location right now.
However, it doesn't mean you have to lose your characters too.
If you only delete the universe folder and not the players folder then your ship and everything on it will be safely translocated to the starting system of the new universe.

 

Yea but well, it sort of feels like cheesing the game when I do that. I'm trying to ground these latest characters into reality as best as I can, which is why they're all hardcore. (The ship only revives you, not print out a fresh copy of you with your items. Otherwise, you'd be clothed during the respawning process. )

 

Looks like tonight's update is making the game crash before loading. Did the standard delete config/universe, but no dice.

EDIT: the log is showing this line
"Asset database is missing _index entry"

 

Thanks for the heads up. I think I'll disable automatic update just this once.

Anybody else getting this error today?
Plus, I found out about the nightly updates yesterday.. and upon playing it, oh my. All I have to say iS "ERMAGERD STARBOUND YOU SEXY!"
All joking aside, the developers have done an AMAZING job at making the game the best it can be (Even though it's only the first stage of Beta).
AND.. one suggestion, move the face sprites for the Novakid a bit to the left.

 

Well... you do get stuck with your Matter Manipulator upgraded to the last point it was, and unable to claim a new one to unlock the ships AI upgrading the MM anymore...

 

yeah, I'm totes getting this.

 

You know, knowing that at any point a nightly update could render the game unplayable for the day, makes the idea of having a "Does it work today" thread in the forums seem like a great idea for those people who leave the launcher on to prevent an update, and therefore, minimize the chances of us being left unable to play Starbound for the day.

(It makes me all the more thankful that I did that myself when I heard it might not work today, which means I still have my Starbound! )

Isn't that just because the ship files are in the universe folder, and by deleting the entire folder, you're also deleting the ship as well?

On an unrelated note, I still despise the muffled music bug. Out of every game I've ever played, Starbound perhaps might be the only one that would have simply gotten me to purchase it based on the soundtrack alone (the same soundtrack that I also later purchased). Just to compensate for this bug, I have to reduce my SFX, and crank up the master volume. It doesn't help much though that occasionally, it feels like the muffling stacks.

 

Yeah, it's my understanding that everyone is getting this, and the devs have been made aware.

I'm aware of the problem and it's what I've been working on all day, trying to isolate it.

JFYI, it's an old bug which was just exposed, it's been possible to trigger since Jul 28, but we just hadn't triggered it yet. I know which commit is causing it, I just don't know *what* in the commit is.

 

So is there any way around it? Or do we just need to wait for a new build?

 

Essentially, I have to figure out what's causing it (I just did), push the fix (still testing that), and then manually push the build (about to do so.)

 

i know we could count on you omni

i award omni the " nightly cool guy dev" award

yah i coulnt think of a good name =/
