New patch is goddamn brilliant

I don't think being able to travel to other planets whenever you want is such a bad thing in a game about space


Edit: Mind you, I've -been- using coal for fuel.

 

Fun fact: Refined radioactive materials are used to generate heat that is transfered to water that in turn, turns into steam. The steam is used to turn turbines that generate electricity.

Now, can any of you explain how Solar Power works?

 

noo don't DO THIS TO MEE, I can't update the patch cause steam is offfff

 

I know the feeling. Gotta work until 6pm today.

 

Magic. Obviously.

 

I almost read that as "Can't wait to get home and play with myself."

 

Fun Fact: Light hits certain materials (such as Silicon) and creates an electric current that can then be harnessed into power.

 

Thanks I gotta finish this term paper...

But in reality, I think we should have to upgrade or fix our engines at one point. They would have to add a way to get up to the asteroids and then we could use the uranium as fuel...

 

I love how less often the game crashes for me. Also the enemy AI makes up for the reduction in armor.

 

I can't compare much because I started yesterday, so I don't feel the changes as much as you guys/gals can do. I feel the 1st monsters are a bit tougher than I remember and there's no lvl on mobs too...so please can someone explain briefly the new EXP mode?

Thank you!

 

Actually, there are two kinds of solar power >__> One of them is... Steam power. Using collected light to generate the heat.

 

Has anyone seen the damage for Tier 10 weapons...?

 

Avians just use a specific mineral (unnamed in the lore, sadly I think it's red and docketed in most armor they make though)
Maybe the coal is just being compressed into that state, similar to a diamond only much faster, or something, we don't know the chemical properties of Avian Stone
but derp it's a fictional game, maybe they found an efficient way for Coal to be compressed into a pure energy state.

 

Maybe that was what i meant

 

I like the changes as well. The ambiguity of all the various planets makes exploring each one a lot more exciting, rather than just knowing precisely what level enemies I'm going to face.

Oh, and the need to get coal is probably better.

 

The devs feel that, atleast earlier on, the player shouldnt be able to hop around with impunity. And just jolt off if the planet they get isnt the definition of perfection.
There is enough coal to let you move on a few times, but then at some point you would have to bite the bullet and actually put an effort into refueling. Altough i maintain its still easy to get a lot of coal.

Its not just a game about space, its a game about surviving in space. Its why we have mechanics such as warmth, fuel and hunger. If you can ignore such a mechanic, as was possible with fuel, this mechanic becomes redundant as it takes no actual dedication to meet this demand. At this point you either try to make it relevant, or you might aswell ditch the entire concept.

It seems they went for option #1.

 

> not being able to use wood as a fuel source



I admit that wood is easy as balls to accumulate, but I need that coal for steel and other such metals dammit.

 

Great post. I can definitely see where they are headed and I love it. I think it was far too easy pre-patch to just hop around from planet to planet chopping a few trees along the way, boxing enemies for cheese kills, and collecting loot along the way. I would even take it one step farther and just remove the indication of planet levels entirely since showing them all as threat level one seems redundant.

 

yeah, that happened to me and.. everyone. hotfix is here I think!

 

Only problem i have is that i spawned next to a village killed one guard and i got a weapon that did 149 DPS
