Patchnotes for v. Indignant Koala 12/11/2013

A few minor requests/Suggestions, some of these may have already been suggested these are just off the top of my head:

-Would it be feasible to have the game mute/quiet the in game music while you or someone nearby is playing an instrument?

-I'd really really love a "Loot all" button on chests/containers, as well as an auto sort function, or at least a 'compress' function to get make everything into neat gapless rows in the inventory (OCD says yes!)

-Maybe add some sort of large furnace or 'smelter' that can smelt multiple different ores at once! my stack of 3 furnaces with an anvil on top looks kinda silly =P but it does work

I'll probably add more to this post as I think of things =o

 

I'm sorry but I have to say it: Fuel. My god, fuel. I've never been so fearful to leave a world in search for new techs in paranoia of being stuck on a difficult planet until this point in the beta. They should not make it so that only coal powers the ship early on, I heavily question why they made it so that wood can't be directly used as a fuel source. To convert wood into coal is totally unreasonable for the small amount of coal you get in the conversion. To even get enough coal to move the ship anywhere is a headache.

Make wood usable as a direct fuel supply again, under the same value it had before.

If not, make coal MUCH more common on ALL planets, moons included. (which is where my apex is currently stuck)

Or even better, make a sort of alternative fuel source available that's similar to oil or gas.

 

I have no problems finding good amounts of coal..
Did a dig into the core of my first planet and got about 700 piece of coal. Besdies you have a good idea on how much fuel is needed.

Flying within same cluster 1 fuel..
Flying from Cluster to cluster in same solar system. 50-60
Flying from system to sytem (close) about 200-300

 

Auto sort would be nice indeed. But i tend to use Shift click and it automatic put the things into the next avalible slot.
Also good idea if you are ocd to always keep 1 ore and 1 bar in your inventory. Like i use bag 2 for all my ore.

First row Ores.
2nd Bars.
3rd Ores
4th bars.

So fx. in row 1 colum 1 Copper ore. and in Row 2 colum 1 Copper bar.

Sorry but cant help it.
OCD attacks. HoPe thAt heLpS

 

Would any one know how i could delete the bubblegun from my inventory in the game files? It keeps closing my game when i hover over it even after the patch which apparently fixed that...

 

I'm pretty sure this has been suggested in some form or fashion, but there should be a way to sort of bookmark planets, and maybe a way to write notes on them to identify their significance to you. Like, if you found a planet with a village that you want to go back to, you could save the planet in a "favorites" type list, and in "notes" you could write "Village".

 

Just a minor quibble regarding the inventory UI. I wish there's a way to "star" the recipes; using the scroll bar or search bar to craft wood planks can get pretty tedious. And speaking of the search function, I wish that you'll add double-click functionality so that we can easily select the previous search term and replace it with another one.

 

Is this common for a beta sector gun?



If so, there is really no need to buy/use them. In comparison the damage on my melee weapon is 22 per swing, the DPS on this gun is just horrid, as it is with the other weapons I have bought/tried to use (this was not the case in the first beta (whereas weapons were quite useful.).)

 

Yup, noticed that too. Shotguns do around 20-30, but have horrendous accuracy.

I could just suck at shooting them though.

 

the bows are terrible. they should shoot faster and have their own crosshairs.

 

If they shot faster they would need to do less damage then they do now but I do think giving people an option to see where they are shooting may help some. I wouldn't want a crosshair my self as arrows can arc.

I would say practice with the bow maybe set up some targets around a safe area and see if that doesn't help with aiming as far as speed goes most bows are only as fast as the person pulling the strings.

 

Enemies arent all balanced. I'm still getting oneshot by minibosses in delta sector while I'm at full HP and wearing platinum armor.

 

by shooting faster i meant the arrows should fly faster. the little red pointer doesnt help at all with aiming. less damage? really? the bows are the least effective weapon in the game.

 

I'm liking it, after deleting my prepatch characters.

Haven't tried out the penguin boss yet. Too scared

I still haven't figured out a couple things, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

 

Are some techs mutually excluding? I have double jump and dash (I call it side-step as in Shunpo Bleeeeach) but they don't work together. Game seems to be prioritizing Techs based on whichever tech is in higher slot skill 1>2>3>4. I don't know if only these two techs are bugged, or they are not. But if they are they must be fixed. I think that we should use two techs if we have the energy for it.

 

You can only have one active at a time. You switch between the 4 you have equipped in your inventory.

 

I found a gun in Alpha a while ago, I got excited, but before the damage fix it was dealing 2 damage per shot... I couldn't use it at all against any opponent. After the damage fix it deals 1 damage per shot. It wasn't picked up as dungeon loot, I got it from a Pirate without even looking at the damage out of excitement (OMG GUNS!!!) and now it just looks like a waste. Even the crappyhammers etc. are 10 times stronger than it. If guns are crappy in higher tiers too, then what is the point....

 

Pleaseee fix, it isn't launching on Mac! (OSX Maverick)

 

I Love u guys 4 this game :*

 

Mmm a glitch with one of the unusual weapons? Poison seems to do three damage a tick. And I'm in a threat level 5 planet. The swing of the weapon does over 200 damage.
