RELEASED FrackinUniverse 6.4.3

sayter updated FrackinUniverse with a new update entry:

corrections and fixes

Read the rest of this update entry...[DOUBLEPOST=1450454528][/DOUBLEPOST]So, for information:

The next several updates are going to be focus entirely on improving existing content. No new content will be added , save for improvements to existing assets (art, etc)

Also, I am going to go ahead and remove the Ancient Gateway from all FU stars. You all have a teleporter bookmark to the Outpost anyway, so it serves no purpose but to take up an extra slot that a planet could otherwise occupy. So, bye bye extra outpost access points. Moons will remain, so that you can refuel.

I'm going to take some time soon to learn to use Tiled, so that I can do some actual proper missions/dungeons without having to pixel-by-pixel draw everything. It's overly time consuming and annoying.


As such, with the above said: Any irregularities, weirdness or other long-standing issues that you feel should be addressed, please let me know. Most are likely simple to fix, and Id like to iron it all out.

 

nope, not intended. ill fix that. two second fix, and doesnt impact play so no biggie.

 

theres tow? that shouldnt be the case. Easy to remove the one.

edit: im not seeing a second. I see one in the metalwork station. I don't see another. I don't have any recipes at all for the ironanvil. Not sure what's going on there. The only things using the anvil are starbooze, and then only for the UI.

got a screencap? That might help.

 

huh. Interesting. I'll look into that. edit: and, fixed on github.

 

What's that ship in the background of the screencap? Or is that just part of the character ship...

 

have u noticed they changed 'tags' to 'colonyTags' in all object files? so no tenants can be spawned with modded doors or lights.
these stupid little changes starting to piss me off i mean wav to ogg makes sense but this...

 

no, i had not noticed. Thanks, cookie. I'll make that change immediately.[DOUBLEPOST=1450473458][/DOUBLEPOST]

heh, thats just luck of the draw. I was actually just about to fiddle with that. Those aren't supposed to be raptors!

 

I was trying to use the bow(moonstone, zersechium, one that deals AOE damage) and game just crashed.

How am I supposed to use the Apiary?

 

Put it down, add a frame, a bee queen and at least one fitting bee drone

and make sure that flowers are around

 

The Bees! questline in the Science Outpost should address that question directly.

aha! thanks. I knew I had missed at least one or two damage types out there. There are probably one or two more to fix as well. I'll address that on github immediately. You can download it and use that build and the issue should be corrected.

 

If I recall right you can buy fuel from the outpost, so there is really no need for an airless world in each FU system as well. Airless worlds are barely worth the space they take up. THe only good thing about them is the fuel they have which has become quite a bit harder to find (how is it a smart idea to make one of the most bland worlds more balnd and empty?). If you are worried about having to pay for fuel later just drop a flag on an airless world.

 

well, there already are moon variants added from FU, so thats covered. Spawns im going to avoid, since there shouldnt be life on that sort of place. There's nothing to eat, breathe, or whatnot.

However, putting fuel on other biomes: easy and simple. Might just do that.


In other news, I am now learning to use Tiled, their new means of making dungeons. It's a lot more fun to use than pixel-by-pixel drawing with colors. I'm revamping the entire Shoggoth dungeon as a result. Now, you'll have to wander across the desolate surface of the frozen world, through an abandoned/slaughtered research station, to the dig sit, into the temple, through the temple, through the acid caverns, and then into the shoggoth lair. There will be wired objects, etc, too. All in all, so much better to work it this way!

 

Supposedly Ultronium is the best Fuel for the ship around but a rod offers only a pittifull 20 units. Seems way to little to me since the solarium it is extracted from is probably worth a lot more and even a simple plutonium rod is worth more fuel.

 

uh that shouldnt be the case at all. Plutonium used to be worth a pittance compared to that. Unless this was changed recently.

edit: yes, that was changed quite a bit. I'll ahve to change all fuel values. thanks

 

I don't know if you missed my earlier post, but Hardened Monster Plates have seemed to stop dropping, I haven't encountered any yet. May have been changed in the base game?

 

you may have missed my response: its fixed in the github release and available to download there (yes, it was removed from loot pools in the base game): https://github.com/sayterdarkwynd/FrackinUniverse_RC




FYI folks: Shoggoth Dungeon may or may not be broken in the current GitHub. This is because I am working heavily on it until after xmas. It's time to hammer out that mission in it's entirety if I can manage it. That means completely revamping the entire thing and swapping to the new format, setting new tilesets for use in Tiled (which you guys will also be able to use to craft your own dungeons with, should you desire. They just aren't ready yet!) and then building the thing into an experience. And then adding Stagehands to give info through the mission via SAIL popups...and so on.


I'll be away today for family stuff. Have fun.

 

OMG, I totally missed your response, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to come over like a brat. I love your work with the mod and it's giving me and my friend tons of things to do! Thanks for your quick replies too!

 

Planets are broken. Cannot beam down to ruin or mountain planets. Assuming others tied to FU are also inaccessible.
