RELEASED FrackinUniverse 6.4.3

Is it a bad time to be updating Frackin Universe? Crash on startup.

I found just basic machine gun turrets are good, you don't wanna kill the innocent bees. Also bug catchers and grabbers to help keep the innocent bees out of the way and get precious queens for cool loot.

Edit: Appears the durasteel katana is causing the shutdown.

 

Yeah, I had a lot of fun setting up a bee-specific item network! This was what taught me how to sort stuff with item transference devices. In the end I only had to go in there when I wanted to change bee types, but I bet you could do that via item network also with a little creativity.

 

I made a massive bee farm on my non frackin races universe in a space station myself. Even there I found the minor bees producing wasps so I had to put in gun turrets. I'm considering a purely jungle bee farm sometime soon, since there is a really good reward for jungle queens.

Is there any temporary fix it seems updates have stopped, I wanna play FU man.

 

not to me it isn't.

anyhow, will fix. But, you're using the dev branch. that comes with risks. Don't whine about it

edit: should be good to go


also, the new katanas are nice.

 

Cool, thanks .

Ooo. Katana.

I hope they have the arc swing that broadswords do, or at least some sort of AoE and not the swipes that the 1H weapons have (which is why I won't use 1h swords/daggers 'cept that one legendary that is different).

 

A checklist/collection of things discovered/undiscovered could be helpful for people like me...there is SO much to explore, but after a while, it feels like I've seen everything, but I suspect there could be rare things I haven't found. I'd hate to miss cool parts of the game! Biomes/sub-biomes, dungeon types, easter eggs, etc. Anything worth encountering would be great to see if I've found it yet. I don't want to miss out on anything cool.

 

Hi! I haven't seen a bug grabber anywhere...is there a way to construct an automated bee catcher?

 

Interesting! I haven't done much with networks or transference devices, but I like automating things. Do you have any tutorials you'd recommend?

 

you can find a few on youtube, actually.

as for a checklist...no way. too much. but Collections are a good way to track it, in their own way.

 

I wanna try using ITD's with the recently overhauled wells and water pumps myself, it makes me ponder the necessity of settling on an ocean planet and makes me want to try something else like a proto planet for a mid-tier town/lab.

The bug catcher turret under the hunt/gathering work station(and it's upgraded equivalent). It basically sprays the area anytime an insect comes near, not enemies though. But i use them on super large bee farms, as the bees can easily lag the game, and bug catching turrets knock em down to be sweeped up with an item grabber. I ponder doing this with jungle bees as the queens can yield blood diamonds, which are especially valuable.

Thanks for the tip! I haven't finished exploring all the vast array of neat things in the game yet, but I was hoping to eventually automate bee upkeep. The ITD looks like just what I was hoping for!

 

What about pet house & playpen for ship pets? My kitty might like some to play on.

 

welp i got super lucky and found a new elder sea world can anyone say unlimited power?

 

Yeah, there are some really cool powerful things here and there. Pretty neat!

 

What other liquids? I recently found one with elder fluid, liquid protocite, and poision. Jackpot!
