Other bits and pieces coming with the balance update

Steam doesn't see the patch for linux version

 

I haven't read anything about planet seeds aka coordinates not working anymore. So maybe you can just fly there again...

 

Time to start constantly checking steam for an update

 

almost 2 am here

 

This is a thing? Quick, TO THE UNPATCHED VERSION!

Eheh... I still don't fully understand how coordinates and planets work.

 

look, my avatar looks like Jesus...

 

HAHAHAHA SO TRUE!

 

they're procedurly generated which means the coordinates you get for each plant determine the flora and fauna of a planet as well as some of the stuff you find. If there is a glitch castle on a planet with the coordinates of X: 11065489 Y: 554732078 then when you go to that planet with a different character it will have that same castle.

what it also means is that if you have already visited it with another character any 'alterations' or looting done previously will show up as well.

I haven't tested this yet (I will after the update) but I believe this relates to do with the save files for your different characters.

 

I'm kind of counting on this.. I have a hidden planet with all my gear from my Initial character saved, and a huge farm there as well

 

welp guess i will take a nap, should be done by then

 

Patch is now on steam, but its not live yet as they are testing it internally.

So all that is left is really waiting for them to hit the "live" button and its go time!

 

Oh yeah totally! I do like the idea of later on visiting the old stomping grounds of previous generations of explorers tho, but thats the thing about starbound, its an option even if you dont want to!

 

I tested this with two characters in my single player and the world was different...so....awkward.

 

New patch should up be up in 10-15 minutes, Tiy tweeted he was uploading it about 45 minutes ago, which is about how long steam takes to push it thru!

 

Anybody know the build name of the new version? What is it going to be?

 

Omni is downloading it now internally

Alright I have the coordinates saved. Once the patch drops I will go lumberjack... load up my spaceship with fuel, then see what happens. I rather liked my starting solar system. It had a glitch village, a Floran village, and lots of ruins on the moon I started on, not to mention the base.

 

I've tested it with three characters on my computer, the worlds are the same, identical actually..

Even made a weird snuffalopagus thing out of dirt, it's there for all toons. (Avian / Glitch / Axalotl)
