So... things that should change...

Guess we have different ideas.

It appears farming is the solution to lack of meat drops. It says I can get sick from bananas though, so we'll see.

 

Then again, TB is prone to sometimes forgetting the most basic mechanics now and then.
An upgraded matter thingy would be nice, but only if they removed it's range. A one in all tool that has that range is basically easy mode.

It's probably freezing, there should be a tiny bar on the bottom, use firecamps and clothing to stay warm

 

They could be possibly falling into/coming into contact with poisonous water, that is unless there is some planet that has a poison fog weather effect going on.

 

That is very well possible.
My first death by cold was like that. I thought it was a storm coming, my screen whiting out. Then I saw the bar on bottom and realized I was freezing to death.

It should be hard to gather stuff at the start, that way it feels good when you finally get the upgraded tools, such as pickaxes.

1 I've never died from hunger before, i always die way before my hunger meter runs out.
2. maybe, but the drop rate on food seems fine
3. No way, that would make it harder to switch from the ray gun if I need to get to my weapon fast, and it would make scrolling through my other items difficult if I have my ray gun on my bar.

 

Killing animals with a bow is NOT the only way to get food. I'm playing on the Mac version, so my bow is still bugged; I can't use it without crashing to desktop. I thought I was screwed until I discovered farming. After an couple hours of occasionally tending a 10-plot farm, I now routinely have 15-20 bread in my inventory, with 50-60 replacement seeds. I've never even shot an animal with a bow and never worry about hunger.

 

I am fine with losing pixels on death. I do not understand why making a helmet from copper costs pixels. It is printer fuel, it shoudl not play a part in non-printer crafting.

 

In case you haven't noticed, this game is in early BETA

If your gf got pissed off when she didnt get the gun then how will she react when she will se her character gone due to updates?

Get used to it, its gonna be like that untill the next beta stage

 

First off, 1. YES, being able to upgrade the Matter Manipulator (that manipulates all that matters) would be amazing.
Secondly... I totally agree that you should be able to get meat off of creatures that have it by using a melee weapon instead of a bow.
Third thing, It starts slow, but that's OK.
Numbah Four, The need for light at night OR YOU DIE seems a bit much...
Five, I love this game so far.

 

Actually I have been on some planets where you don't start slowly freezing to death at night, though those planets do have times where it sounds like wind is blowing and there is a cold effect going on though.
