Notice Ask us anything discussion thread.

Tiy stated in the actual Thread that the weapon engine can generate Rapiers so they are a possibility.

Everyone posting questions this isn't the 'ask us anything' Thread, this is the discussion Thread.
Here's the Thread you're looking for: http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/ask-us-anything.24965/

Be sure to read the first post in that Thread and use the 'watch thread' function to know when it's open and ready for questions.

 

Thanks for the answer.
Also, thanks for telling the inattentive among us (myself included) that this wasn't the actual thread.

 

How many players will be on the server, with the processor i7-3770, and Unix operating systems?

 

I've just seen the picture in the daily update progress (28th June) and I was wondering: Tents are only vanity items or maybe you can select them for some sleep during night?

 

I think it would be cool to have planets with multiple biomes, if that wont be on beta/release, will there be a way to mod this?

I read that Tiy said there was gonna be 2 creature spawns for a medium sized planet above ground. To me it doesnt sound very planet-y. I would love for biomes to change as you go east and west, even up or down. Like an underground cave jungle powered by gas vents biomes, with bioluminescence type of thing.

If this is not in the game at release, i seriously hope its going to be moddable. It would be awesome to have both types of planets, ones with varied biomes like earth, and ones with single biomes like Hoth in star wars. It would make planets alot more fun to explore, why would i really go east/west on a planet if i know theres only 2 types of creatures to be found? All the exploration is digging down for material.

Even for the one biome planets, it would be cool to have sections of the planets split where different types of arctic/whatever creatures spawn.

Some motivated artists could do art assets for when Biomes merge. For example, the place where ice and forest biomes merge would have art being forest trees covered in snow or a taiga with lichens etc...

 

I belive it also depends on the RAM and disc space, but you can get more that 64, it also depends on the internet connection.

He did say omni was working on a drawables change, to enable special stuff with sleeping, so i guess you can sleep in those. Original quote [Omni is making a quick drawables change to enable us to do special things our sleep system.]

 

Devs, have you considered giving Starbound Evolve support?

 

Keep in mind that this thread is for discussing the actual "Ask us anything" thread.

You shouldn't ask questions here if you're expecting Tiy to answer them.

 

How will we be able to terraform and overall alter the homeworlds apart from building stuff on them and changing climate?

EDIT: oh wait, not that thread? D'damnit... I knew it was too good when I thought it's open...

 

??? Then where's the actual 'Ask us anything' Thread itself?

 

Ahh, many thanks!

 

I have a few questions that I've been itching to ask for awhile. Does anybody know when the discussion thread will be unlocked for new questions?

 

It's random, Tiy opens it when he is not working or sleeping. There might be a pattern but their might not, just watch the tread with the watch function and check your alerts.

 

Okay, thanks!

 

Q: If you walk in one direction will you 'circle' back to where you started? And if so, how long on average does this take?

I primarily ask this to get a feel for the size of the planets. If this somehow is a spoiler, then I guess don't answer.

 

Are there any 'special' or 'rare' weapons that will not be able to be customized? This was someones concern in a comment on some weapons type thread.

Would an Ooober cool sword or gun you found be pointless with the fact that anyone could just make the same thing modding a weapon? (This is really the same question)

 

I can't provide the actual quote, but I'm pretty sure Tiy said that all planets will wrap around (i.e. if you keep walking you arrive back where you started), but I've no idea how long that'd take, sorry

 

^Except for endless planets

 

oh, I thought he said that although the engine could make endless planets, they were sticking with limited ones
