Closed Starbound BETA: Bugs Database LU 8.29.14 (Not for nightly)

i noticed a few bugs while playing the game

when using the 3D printer, sometimes it will "eat" the item, where as it shows it accepted it and took the required pixels listed, but the newly added item isnt on the list, even after a restart of the game client, i noticed this has only happened to items that can be made through other means, for example the mushroom chest.

before the knock back nerf patch, if you character was knocked back really hard and managed to land in a small hole (for example 3 blocks tall, your character is 4 blocks tall.) the knockback will launch you into the hole, but when you move, you cant get out because the hole was to small, works fine after you mine yourself out though.

water disappears when the area its drained too, is to big then the amount being drained.

you can "delete" liquids (water and magma and otherwise) by placing blocks in the liquid, when you go to mine, it is gone, which allows the mining of the planet's core, assuming you got enough dirt or whatever, when doing said bug, while placing blocks within the magma (at the planets core), you can occasionally reveal ore veins as if the liquid was counted as solid terrain for ore generation.

a sword called sun breaker, is underpowered compared to other items of the same tier, especially when it is considered a 2h weapon, rather than a 1h weapon. (this could purely be an unlucky roll though, but stats for mine is 4 dps, 4 damage per swing, swing speed is 1, counted as a 2h weapon, and generates an "explosion" in the shape of saturn from the looks of it. i got a bonehammer from the same secter as the sword, the bone hammer is currently far better than the sun breaker, even my worse one, i got from the starting home planet).

sometimes on occasion, i found a couple merchants with no stock (they didnt appear naked though).

when chopping down a tree near a cave, and it falls down towards the said cave, parts of the tree will continue to "circle" until it touches the ground.

when using a gun of any sort, the gun will not fire if a mob is too close. (not sure if this is an intended feature, regardless, it is annoying)

when mining cobblestone of different styles (1 blue, another pink) they all appear in different stacks in your inventory, despite having the exact same icon and block styles, when you go to place them.

some types unrefined wood cannot be used in anything, not fuel, crafting, nothing. (i noticed this with a standard looking wood, alien oak maybe? not the greenish swamp looking one either, i havent came across other wood varients though, like the rainbow wood, to give those a try, and no, no new recipe came up when i collected this wood, i collected this specific wood from some randomly generated structure with from the looks of it a deck/padio of some sort)

sometimes when you kill a mob using a multihit weapon (so far only done it with the bonehammer) the mob will "float" towards the sky while the death animation is going. (theory, could be related to the large knockback of the bonehammer, combined with the occasional lag of online play.)

and thats all of them i can remember at the moment, i will attempt to list more when if i dont see em on this list... or any other bug list i see.

Note: why did i list a knockback like that when the latest patch already "fixed" it? because, it was merely decreased on the player, not fixed, it can and will still happen, but only on VERY powerful mobs, like those giant elites now.

 

I had a bug recently (Completely after the whole reset i know this for a fact as my other char was deleted)

I was playing along after getting to end-game (again)
And my electric goes off in the house, i'm running on a desktop so it turns off.

I play on a server running on my computer and connect through hamachi to myself, so my friends can drop in and out of the game easily.

When i go the electric back on started up and launched the server and starbound again and my entire save (That had been saved and played over 2-3 days) has gone, the entire thing, i'm not exactly annoyed as Beta i beta.
Just thought i'd post this to maybe avoid this happening if it's not already been found (Being unlikely to happen) I'd rather not power of my PC to replicate this issue, but i guess you can work out the issue or test it yourself.

 

The pixel chest aren't scaling with world/planet levels. They still drop 3-9 pixels at sector X level 10.

 

ITEM FUNCTIONALITY BUG: Grenades no longer harm the player that threw them. As this was modified by the universalDamage field, I suspect that universalDamage was broken by the latest update.

I haven't tested with other players but I suspect the same.

 

Surface generator bug: The ground above and below structures (dungeons, ships, labs, etc.) is now always flat, like every structure is a village.

And I can't update my avatar for some reason (upload happens, but image is not changing).

 

Hello

When i play multiplayer, the following bug often occurs. One person in the group has MY info when i click on his avatar instead oh HIS. Here is an example:

Here i'm clicking on someone named Cloud:



Here i'm clicking on Ted:




In the first image. I clicked on the first group member which name should show as Cloud. It shows mine instead. If i click "beam to ship" it beams me to my own ship.
On the second image i click on the second group member and i get the name Ted which is what it is supposed to be. The beaming works fine on this one.

We tried having someone else lead the group, it rarely works. We tried restarting the server and the clients. Rarely works. Reforming the group doesn't help either.

I cannot find a work around for it so far.

Halp!

Also my toon i hungry apparently...

 

[MINOR] Color channel values above 255 are considered to be 0. [256, 192, 0] renders as pure green as a result of this.
[MAJOR] Occasionally, projectiles will either not spawn, or spawn far from where they actually hit. Not sure what the pattern is
[MAJOR] universalDamage no longer applies to players, so self-damage with explosions is near impossible.
[CRITICAL] There is no bugtracker for Starbound.

 

I hope you don't seriously think this is a good method of organization.

 

Universe - Sometimes planets are hidden behind the sun or Moons behind the planet.
Like these guys (easy to spot, because of the rings) but two of the there planets are behind the sun.

or this fellow

Blocks: Sometimes the Meat Trees lose their head

Items or Enemy - not sure though: Sword is grabbed like a spear, in the middle and not on the end:

 

If you use a restorative item (and possibly others as well) and then quickly switch to another item, the restoration item will not be used. However, when you select the restoration item again, it'll automatically be activated.

 

i Cant warp to new locations anymore it make the sounds when warping and then goes to light speed but then it stays in light speed ive been in it for 10 min now
i cant warp to any other locations so im pretty much stuck. ive re logged 3 times now and its used up all my fuel because it thinks ive warped but when i re logged it just takes me back to the planet i was at before i warped

When a tree falls down on land that has a tunnel just a few blocks underneath it, pieces of wood may end up underground.

 

Health bar: With latest update, armor gives additional health. However, when logging in or respawning only the default 100 health is present. The bonus health shows as damage and needs to be healed.

 

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, but the cloning animation for the Florans looks strange when wearing race specific armor (unless it's all armor and I didn't notice it until my race armor). It's like a piece of my Florans hair is missing. Anyone else getting this?

 

NPCs, enemies, and fights with them:

You can still purchase items from hostile NPC shop owners, and can also persuade them to lead you back to their shop. They will continue to attack you while you shop. All dialogue plays out as usual.

 

When you added the matter blocks a little while ago, you added two kinds, one with a green border, one without.
You can't get the one without, and it's used for the spaceship helmet.

 

Not game-breaking, but difficulty-breaking.

During the day, and somewhat during the night while deep-cave mining/exploring, destroying background blocks allows light in making torches useless (during night light leak is greatly reduced though)

 

This is intended. If you dig deeper this behavior stops and you need to continue using torches. Any light you get during the night is only there because of the background contrast, though.

 

Tried that, wouldn't work for mine. Though I did have a few mods installed, so that might be messing with that kind of thing.

 

There is a spelling bug - not game breaking but... just a heads up.

Dark Smooth Stone is labeled as "Dark Smooth sDone". Its teeny detail but its a detail.
