    I'm playing on the latest update. I'm still finding platinum. I highly doubt it's luck as after posting the message, I went to 7 different threat 1 planets and found at least SOME platinum on each one.

    I also am having difficulty finding platinum. Plenty of titanium but no plat for me.

    Might I trouble you for some of that platinum for my next tier of gear?

    Or we should bother, since this:

    Titanium looks more like silver with little purple spots in it.

    Titanium looks a little bit like silver but chunkier and bigger, more rough and not as white in color but more grey like.

    Found it, thanks. A pity thre doesn't seem to be that much I can do with it for now, aside from make a better weapon...

    ... is it even possible to build guns? Because after fighting level thirty enemies for a while, I still haven't gotten a gun drop.

    It's possible that enemies drop guns but I have yet to see it, think some say they've had it happen tho. Only ways I found on my 30 hour playthrough to get guns was to buy them at a avian pirate ship, there are coordinates posted on the forums to them if you don't wanna search for one.

    Now my only question is when Abandoned Spaceships will be put back in, and since a lot of the features that are put into the players ship instead of being placed in the Spacestation, Will the Station be presented differently with new Features and elements?

    I'm hoping It would allow even more advanced research & Development then from what can be done on the ship and from the craftables that players make to develop even better stuff.

    And/or Allow development for the vehicles that would have made it in, Like copious amounts of different mech's for muliple situations. Like:
    • Merchant Mech, for carrying merchandise around and becoming a makeshift Bazaar stand when inactive,
    • Standard War mech for combat, comes in different Sub-models for different combat situations.
    • Mining Mech outfitted with Small Cargo pack, Shovel Arm and Mining Laser arm for even quicker mining.
    • Cargo Mech for delivering a Massive amount of stuff across multiple terrains
    • Etc.

    And development for robots also programmed and outfitted for various situations for various tasks.
    • Guard Robots - Acts the same way as town guards, only they can be programmed to allow/prohibit entry of any player or NPC from getting past them.
    • Labor Robot - Outfitted for various tasks, fetching, repair, maintaining agricultural areas, Information & News, Greetings, Mining, crafting a particular item if its materials are in an assigned container of sorts, etc.
    • Militaristic Robots - Like the Mech (Albeit smaller) they are best use in numbers, come in all shapes, sizes and in for multiple combat situations for any form of combat (guerilla warfare, Tactical, Ops, etc.)

    But whatever the Developers have in mind, I'm fine with it. Those are just some suggestions. Since this is in Beta, we are going to busy for a good while trying to work the kinks out, help make improvements and such before Starbound see's serious content, element and feature improvement.

    can confirm 40+ hours absolutly 0 plat ore,

    i just ran around beta planets looting chest until i found enough plat,
    side note i found more diamonds in chests than plat -.-

    I'll say that I've gotten not a lot of platinum, but a good bit just by thoroughly raiding any villages and other spawned chests. There's a low chance that a chest will have up to I've seen 7 platinum ore at most, so I was able to make a plat pick extremely early in the game.

    Yes platinum spawning is not working correctly. It is going to be rectified in the next patch.
