It's true that it's too plentiful in later sectors, but in the Alpha sector it's not even a particularly useful ore. It's used for, what.. Copper Armor and maybe three or four tools? I think sector X is purposely loaded with ores right now just to make armor quickly since the amount of ores near the surface is insane. I agree that a scanner for use with the Planetary View would be great. It could even give info on whether there are settlements or some sort of Anomaly (dungeon).
I think Sector X is supposed to be the "endgame" sector but right now everything that isn't currently completed is sorta lumped into it. Then again I use the word completed loosely since there are tons of tweaks to make not just including the ores.
Went ahead and checked around and since I did not find one added a suggestion for ship tech addons. (Ship Ability Upgrades) Yeah it is currently being used as the bulk sector for all unfinished things. "Sector X" or "Sector Omega" I think are both fitting names for such an endgame sector~
That's where the refiner comes in handy. Sure you only get 5 pixels for every piece of copper ore but you can convert it into extra cash for you other things.
Or repair your tools with the ore. I usually end up just throwing the tons of diamond I find into the refinery,
Just wanted to let you know that you guys are doing wonderful. I appreciate how well you listen to your fan base. I know we're involved in beta and we're supposed to help you out with catching bugs but you are doing an outstanding job
Came to see if the new changelog was posted, a game has never made me so impatient for an update as much as Starbound.
I don't know if I'm on drugs but it seems like the crafted unlock Circuit Boards aren't consumable now. Use em and pass em on? Can someone else double check this?
I can confirm this, tech upgrades 5-10 don't vanish when used. But those are also placeholders, so this may be intentional.
