    Don't refine diamonds, they're worth like 2x more unrefined. Same goes with the ores to fuel your ship, you get 1/2 as much fuel if it's refined.

    Firstly, I agree with the above. Secondly, too freaking many.

    Not true regarding diamonds. I get 4X the amount of pixels off a diamond compared to its unrefined ore. I think T2/3/4 fuel ores are bugged. it doesn't matter if its unrefined or refine. The game appears to treat the refined fuel ore as though it was unrefined when it comes to fuel amount.

    That's why I tripled the fuel for the uranium, plutonium, and solarium rods. So there's a point to refining them into rods.

    Pixels are quite abundant at later tier planets, where you can find patches of diamonds and platinums almost anywhere near the surface.

    Anyway, I currently have 8 10k pixel blocks, and about 4 5k pixel blocks. Had accumulated 300k+, but spent an awful lot on printing furnitures and decorations :p

    Had to go back and check because I thought maybe they changed the values. I was incorrect with 3x the value for unrefined, it's actually 2x. Unrefined diamond sells for 100, while a whole diamond sells for 200....but you need 4x unrefined to make 1 diamond.
     
  10. I've got a lot of playtime in so far, over 130 hours.

    And if you count my 'voxels' then I've got close to 200k.

    I didn't even know the "refined" fuels were labeled as fuels yet. Last time I checked, a uranium rod wasn't accepted in my ship's fuel box, lol. That'll teach me not to go back and check things.
    I didn't know you could put refined diamonds into the refinery for more pixels. Man, I'd be even more rich than I am now. Oh well... whatever. I'll remember that for when we have to start over again. xD

    Rgearding diamonds, ar eyou saying a pure diamond gets you 8x the amount a diamond ore does? Being that it takes 4 ore to make 1 diamond...

    My starter planet had no coal (well I found enough EVENTUALLY) and only a small handful of trees. The system was a single planet and I did not have enough fuel to leave.

    As a result I mined the living crap out of my starter planet looking for coal. Got all the way up to Diamond Pickaxe LOL

    Where do you get 8X the amount? 1 diamond ore gives you x amount of pixels. 4 ore makes a diamond, therefore, a diamond should be worth 4X a diamond ore in pixels.

    Edit: I should probably go double check that. Everything else gave the appropriate amount of pixels so I naturally assumed diamond followed suit. If it doesn't, it's definitely a bug.

    I see, so it doesn't give a bonus.. I figured with you taking the time to refine the diamond, it'd be worth more in value, but then again, thinking about this in terms of pixels, I can see how it should remain constant to what the ores are worth.

    13k+. Haven't died once yet and still need to fight tier 1 boss. Have finals this week, though, so it might be a while before I find out if that kills me or not.

    Edit: Got to 16k+ then died to a Po due to a combination of mob lag and not paying attention to health, which set me back to 11k+. Now I'm back to almost 13k again.

    As many as I want. Don't really need them, anyway.

    Something like 2,000. I keep my assets in smelted bars and liquidate as-needed; the only actual pixels I ever have are what drops from mobs.

    I spent like...90k on the 3d printer making stuff (mostly lighting) for the Floran Village I took over after murdering all the residents. I haven't tried any guard spawners as last I knew they were level one..and on a level 10 planet that's a silly waste of money. So without guards I haven't made any civilians to populate my little village because they would just get wrecked.

    Butttt I still have 600+ plat and diamond just waiting to be refined whenever I feel the need....and probly 3-400 gold/copper/silver that is there for refining as well...I figure if I have 4 refineries why not keep enough ore to make them all do work :)

    State of game: Beta sector. Build most of the robot, got the brain just need a few more steel bars to complete the robot.
    I got about 2500 pixels. I don't die much because I found a lot of good weapons (30 dps)
    I have 7 diamonds and 2 ore.
    I do not have a refinery or pixel bank.
    Only once I could not craft what I wanted due to not having pixels. (twice if you count the 1500 for the pixel bank)

    It has been ages since I died the last time. I went up to 80k+ pixels, now floating around 73k after using the 3D printer a bit. I plan on wasting them all on it when I decide it's time to build something.
