gravity/planet diversity

hey im not sure if its been suggested yet but all the planets kinda have the same atmosphere isnt the part of a space game thats cool the diversity in the planets? i know yea some have lava and some are cold.... but meh i think it would be cool if some had like crazzy low gravity or really heavy gravity so you could hardly jump. also planet specific stuff take this for example i was looking for the green ore to make the next tier armor. so i went to a lvl 5 planet a volcanic one or what ever after afew mins yeaaaa screw those planets went to a desert planet boom all the ore i needing in probbably 1 10th the time...

but if some ores were planet specific then i would be forced to go to the stupid magma planet and break my back for the ore which in turmn would make it more rewarding as well as difficult but at the same time at a veriety because THERE IS NO MINEING LIKE DESERT MINEING snow is a close second well third i guess after gravel but its harder to find but yea make thier be a reason to go to those shitty planets aswell as the good ones or mabey specific monsters on certain planets instead of just a random generation or planet specific boss guys you could run into like reaaaallly hard ones that catch you off guard... werll after the walling issue is fixed i guess because everyone like surprises but they would have to be worth something otherwise dont....

 

i thought the moons would have low gravity, it seems like they should

 

I like the way you think =P

I agree planets should have gravity differences, and fire shouldn't work when you get to orbit, nor should you be able to breath without a helmet/mask in space/higher altitudes respectively.

A nice middle ground would be something like, only finding certain things in abundance on certain planet types. Like if copper showed up in massive abundance in the desert planets due to favorable geological conditions, yet still on other planets just not as much. So I can think if I want a specific ore, which planet I should set up my operation on.

also agreed, and same with the fire/breathing on moons.

 

Looking forward to low/heavy gravity and thin/thick/no atmosphere myself. Hopefully even a "too warm" mechanic to balance the cold. I figure they're planing to add most of these things, but are focusing on play-ability for now.

I want to have a locker full of different suits for different planet types

 

yea having to actually traverse space and seek out planets of value other than just the ones that are super easy to mine which would make the game more diverse and opens up options of having planet specific menaces or rewards to worrie or expect.

 

also is thier a jet pack avialable? i know thier is the antigrav bubble thing but a jetpack type model would be neat =P also another thing would be plantairy firtileness if thats a word.. but i find it odd you can crow everything in any atmosphere i dont think you should be able to grow watermellons in the desert i do like the bone tomaytoe things thoagh makes sense but should only grow in sand.

 

Yeah! We were promised jetpacks! (Not in Starbound mind you, just in general.)

 

Based on your suggestion they could also have planets that require a more specific gear other than just winter clothes.

They could have planets that are completely underwater where you would require scuba diving gear.(the fish race would have no problem with this planet)

They could have planets so close to the sun that would require heat resistant gear.(the floran should have no problem with this planet)

They could have a really dense atmosphere that would require you to have some kind of breathing aparatus.(the apex should be ok in this planet)

Soo many possibilities I hope they can implement.

 

yea that sounds cool all those suggestions especially tieing in the race ability thing another thing i think would be awesome is the vanity items i mean alot of items like cool pants or glasses or what ever have stats on them like a small ac or a energy or a warmth level i think you hould be able to equip those on top of your armor AND still get alot of the bonuses not just the apperance or mabvey warm clothes with no apperance and just the bonus to use up the slots

 

There's some discussion about this

I think Apex would still have an issue, the glitch on the other hand...

 

Brilliant. I love this idea.

 

Well, it's not exactly what was asked for, but there's a gravity setting in the config files you can play around with so that planets have a range of gravity strengths. (Not even sure if it works, but I've seen it in there... and it's set to have no range)

 

it work, but kinda crazy stuff happen
