Yes, everyone is having that issue at this moment. Workaround: https://www.reddit.com/r/starbound/comments/49ejjs/nightly_disk_write_error_while_updating/d0r6a54
I dunno. It would be cool to see some same-gender couples. Probably wouldn't be too hard to implement. I have quite the number of LGBT characters though. Though pretty much all of my character's are criminals.
Weird examples I see. You're talking about small objects that can be found in large structures that will hardly pass unnoticed. Now, if the main goal of a quest involves a search, the compass would nullify the challenge. This isn't the case of the quest shown in the post, where the goal is to save someone.
Liking the looks of this update! Dreading the escort quests though heh... Will there be any that say spawn a "miniboss" or such into the world that you'd have to beat? A stronger than usual "elite" version of a native inhabitant or such?
First adding quest indicators and now a quest compas. :/ I must admit I am very much against these changes and it's making me increasingly worried, to me all these features "add" to the game is to make it more shallow. I don't want a game where you only ever interact with whatever point of interest the game points a big yellow dotted finger at currently and even while exploring for a quest all you do is follow the "go this way" indicator. Please please make it possible to disable these features, preferrably on a server level rather than just personally.
Well it is still a work in progress so the final product could be something reasonable. For example with quests where you need to rescue someone its pretty fine because finding them isn't the important part of the quest. When it comes to looking for objects I would like it to point to the dungeon it can be found in or even just a planet its spawned on as some of those fetch quests can be really annoying when you have to rely on randomness to find your way. However should not point to the item itself that you need.
@Titanium: Yes there are. NPCs can and will poot forth at eachother no matter their respective genders, or even species. If you'd like to interpret this as LGBT, I for one would not stop you.
They mean in the quests. One of them was to find this person's date. He was a boy and the other was clearly female in the OP. They were wondering if this case is limited to separate genders.
I think there will, simply because it is actually easier to implement by just randomize the 2 characters in the couple without the conditional that they have to be different gender. So there will be different gender couple, and there will be same gender couple.
Generally it would be easier however as you can see the character refers to his date by gender. This indicates that they are aware of the gender. In programming in this awareness wouldn't that make the addition of same and opposite gender couples in quests harder?
My opinion, I think the compass is useful but weird for a 2D game but it's a good idea. We can move the compass ?
Studying the kidnapping quest template, which is the only one with the word "date" in it, I see no indication of sexual preference. Where the interesting bit is <witness>, which can be "I", "<victimNpcType.pronoun.subject>", "we", or "somebody".
Hmm. Not sure entirely what that means since I'm pretty limited in IT but it sounds pretty interesting. But it looks like there is a fair bit of flexibility in it so maybe we could be getting same-gender couples. Well we'll just have to wait for the Nightly people to tell us if they get a quest to save a same gender'ed date.
Nice to see, lots of npc's on planets now, will give feed back on laptops, handling of this,, mine is a quad core, a8-4555, apu. with rad7200m ondie. I use 720p rez too. but great stuff on the questing side, I shall be testing when I get home from work. I've been a bit quite lately, time to check out the new stuff! im sure ive noted this before, would be there be any benefit to creating a dx12 version? for win10? executable? we have the opengl version, and directx11.
very cool i like this feature good work will be very usefull if there are some quset where you have to dig underground for something or someone but it shouldn't be on every quset also i see that you guys still hasn't fixed the poptops mindless super aggresive zombie creatures was not what they where describe as
