RELEASED FrackinUniverse 6.4.3

Completely different topic:
Came across an "oceanfrontcity" dungeon, found a PGI. Found this in the log:

[11:462.559] [Error] Could not instantiate item '[patsy, 1, {}]'. (ItemException) No such item 'patsy'

According to a grep search, one of the treasure lists ("extradungeons.treasurepools") includes the "patsy" but the item doesn't actually exist. Since it's a food list, I guess it's supposed to be "pasty"? Minor issue.

 

guess observer missed one entry.

 

so... 2 things. are the elders the Cthulhu looking people in the red robes? because they spawn in some biome that i used to make with a microterraformer with eldersoil and elderstone. also, which station do i craft the protection such as deadly poison protection and stuff? i want to explore a chromatic planet, but i die before i get anywhere even with admin on

 

....wow, nice logic fail there sayter. it is in fact, exactly the opposite. in most use cases, having more than ONE OPTION means less inclination to combine as many as possible into one slot, and instead more inclination to work within limitations.

 

Wow, geez.

I guess It's because I tend to be an oldfag. I remember back in the giraffe days of this mod when Armor basically had one function and one function only: To protect you from (deadly biome effects here). Therefore it made a lot of sense to get the "best" armor (At the time, Warangel, Elder, and Shoggoth) ASAP. I guess I just never really got past that mentality.

Again, I use it because of the oldfag mentality of "only thing that really matters are immunities." And since Xithricite armor covers about at least 1/2 of all the negative effects you'll encounter (with Immunity EPP Mod covering most of what's left) I find little need to bother with anything else.

Just curious, but what exactly do you use?

 

Hello, I got a brand new bug after the last update. I can't use melee weapons anymore.

already fixed on FR. guessing you use the git build? heh

 

Ooops I had this pasted on Frackin Races by mistake. Silly me.

A couple more ideas:
Techs

• Phase Dash/Air Dash: Just like Phase Sprint, but for those who prefer dashing.

Mechs

• Fission Rifle arm
• Hailfire Arm
• Splitshot Arm mkII: Like the vanilla splitshot arm, but it splits into hailfire bullets.
• Katana Arm: Katanas... IN SPAAAACE!
• Elder Arm: Shoot tentacles
• Varasha Arm: Shoot boomerangs rapid fire
• Mech Arm Anvil: Works like the weapon anvil, but it's for Mech arms. For when you like a particular mech arm but it's under-tiered.

 

Sorry, but I am done to death with people asking about that station. Simply put, at least 3x a week for a YEAR on steam, plus constantly here, I was getting PMd about the station... *even after I had completely disabled crafting it unless you were in admin mode*. When told it was disabled for a reason, literally *everyone* had to question why and not shut up about it. Every single one. I created the Cosmic Crucible specifically to satiate these people. Still they whine about the old station. So, forgive my being short about it. I am done discussing it.



As for what I wear: that really depends on the race and playstyle I go with on that particular playthrough. I tend towards less defense and more range. I don't think I've ever bothered with Xithricite armor at all, in fact.

 

I have downloaded and installed a mod last week but don't know how to install an update. Please help? BTW, the mod was in a Zip file and I copied the folder as shown in the instructions from Chucklefish.

 

Almost, I use steam workshop.

Nice to see the fast response. Thank you so much.

 

There are 3 options (as far as I know)
1. Delete the old folder and then copy the new one.
2. Use steam workshop (if possible)
3. Read this guide:
http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/how-to-download-mod-updates-with-github.123937/

I use the second option.

 

The weapon type name on this thing is a bit messed up.

 

yea my bad. already fixed on my end. will be up shortly on git.

 

Thanks, Looks like using the Steam workshop did the trick.

 

Okay, I'm seriously wondering now why I'm never encountering any other type of "Hostile Ship" besides the bandits (I mean the ones that are descripted as such. I encounter the Avian Pyramids, Hylotl Padogas, and Lethia fleets just fine.) And I seriously don't know what other mod I have on here could be doing this besides this one.

Also, for some reason it's not spawning Sulfuric Acid Ocean worlds. I"ve looked EVERYWHERE and they just aren't showing up. Sulfuric acid worlds and dark sulfuric yes, but not sulfur oceans.

 

all we do is add a chance for our dungeons to show up in space. nothing more. bad luck on your part.

as for sulphur oceans: they no longer spawn. they were disabled a while back because they added nothing to gameplay and ultimately served no purpose. You can now only experience them on Strange Seas.

 

There was one use for them, although I don't miss sulpheric acid oceans myself: If you were unlucky and could not find an elder fluid sea, you could gather lots of sulpheric acid and dump it onto even 1-2 units of elder fluid for even more elder fluid. It's still kind of redundant though, I found other ways to generate sulpheric acid for elder fluid vats.

 

I doubt he wanted people to exploit the fluid system to give themselves infinite fluids, lol.

I mean, it is still possible to do with some fluids, but eh. That's because of an exploit with the vanilla game and there's not much that can be done about it. Seems like cheating. why not just /admin it in while you're at it?

 

how is it an exploit? oceans not draining is intended functionality.
