New patch is goddamn brilliant

Dirt would also make a great late game fuel source, if it worked. But that's not quite the point.

 

I remember the first time i dropped wood in my ship by accident and it accepted it as fuel i was like : huh?! ... ok then ... , and flew off to the planets moon lol hell to be honest it never occured to me that COAL was the fuel either lol
I don't really see removing wood as a fuel source as a bad thing , it just encourages you to explore more of the planet's underground
though i do agree that adding some sort of fuel refining machine would be interesting, saw the mod but mods at the moment require too much tinkering too be useful

 

"It's too hard!" and "It's too easy!"... err what?

 

yeah the reaction to this patch is fascinating lol

 

Unrefined wood was a fuel source? Haha and all this time I was digging for coal.

 

Since they have removed wood as fuel, have coal become more common ? - i just find it hard to belive that removeing the most commonly used fuel will actually help the exploration aspect.

Dare i say minning is not exploring, it is what enables you to explore. - One is pure grind, the other is fun gaming.

Makeing the game more open towards to exploration aspect, is what i was hoping for - sadly tho the opposite seems to have happend.

 

Yes. Yes it will. People will actually see the point in exploring whole systems, since they are way cheaper than interstellar jumps. And while exploring a system you can get more than enough surface coal to jump to another. Actually, IMO, the fact that so many people don't know cheapness of jumps within a system shows that old system was way too OP.

 

Amen brother. I enjoy it too.

Obviously some things need even more balancing, but they're on the right track.

 

I'm glad to see someone posting positive feedback. I agree with you entirely, the new patch is great! Can't wait to see what improvements will come next

 

The game is a good balance now...EXCEPT for the following:

- Too much ore, it's literally everywhere.

- Tier 2 weapons are doing INSANE damage...2 shotting bosses and such with over 6,000 DPS.. I'm sure it gets more extreme at later tiers.


Loosing wood as a fuel is a good thing, I always felt wood as a fuel for a space ship is a bit odd. Hell I still feel coal is odd, but I'll run with it.

 

How much fuel does plutonium give your ship?

Totally didn't know about asteroids.

And do stronger monsters spawn in the upper atmosphere? or is just the threat of freezing?

 

i know intersystem jumps were cheaper, thats not the point tho. Many systems have few (1-3) planets and finding a system with the right lvl range was actaully quite painfull at times. Being forced to explore low lvl planets to gain fuel, just feels like a: "stop insert cheap reason for grinding here".

but hey if coal has gotten alot more common i guess that will help a bit.

 

found this in the first ten minutes of playing. (dropped from a random mini boss)





I like it!

 

I've always thought some sort of race specific fuel would be be cool. Bananas for the Apex as a trite example.

Glad to hear fuel is more precious. I was a bit disappointed when I could zip around so quickly.
It makes planet bases more relevant too. You're going to spend much longer there gathering fuel, exploring

 

Very good point. This is due to a not quite a small, but very easily understood, mistake. Steel weapons (i.e. tier 2) were lvl 15 in Irritated - they had a penetration of 15. This hasn't been changed, so they're still level 15... while everything else is level 1 though 10. Do you understand...? I could try explaining it a different way.

 

I've never understood the weapon stats.

For a long time I interpreted the speed as how long before you could swing again, but I'm fairly sure I'm wrong.

Sure there is a thread on here explaining it.

 

easy to explain why some say to hard and some say to easy ->

the common folk are having trouble with the birds, making them rage it's to hard.
and the tier 2 weapons are sadly broken because they made an error in the coding.

and now we have 2 reasons and maybe the coal and easy surface ore as a third reason .
So everybody is filling up the forum with these rage's, nad this will prolly be fixed tonight or tomorow mourning for me i'm GTM+1

 

i think the speed is as follow ->

if your speed is 1 it means you do one swing / second
so if your weapon speed is 2 you swing 2x every second
if your speed is 0.5 you swing 1x every 2 seconds

 

I have to admit i was looking for fuel for hours first time i played,,until my son laughed at me and said..put coal in the ship...I was like..wtf are you talking about,,so yes Wood as fuel seems unlikely and coal to (in my world) lol i thought I was hunting for a reccipie to make anti-matter or something ^^

"Beam me up Scotty!..I can't captain I need more coal"

 

Making things seem absurd in such a lighthearted manner is an art, and you are an artist. kudos
