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

I just noticed a lot of little things that need ironing out that hopefully the devs already noticed but still bug me.
-The item "Shroom Kill Blocker" has no description of what it is or does and instead has the text "This item still needs a description set." in the area where the description should be.
-A lot of the names of items and materials are not capitalized. Not exactly game breaking, but it's annoying to me personally.
-Standing in a doorway and then closing the door causes you to get stuck in that door. This might possibly be fixed with a mechanic that pushes you out of the doorway to one side or another when the door closes ???
-The teleporter on the ship still doesn't work 100% of the time. It takes me at least 3 tries before it actually lets me beam down to the planet.

 

every time i walk around on the planet Alpha Eta Sgr 5062 I the client crashes. it's happened 3 times now and only while on this planet

 

This isn't a bug. It was part of a patch to make difficulty a little less confusing.

My assumption was that the Starbound team was already using an issue tracker internally. It's uncommon (if not nigh impossible) for a team of most any size to work on a project of this magnitude without some form of issue tracking. Therefore, any external issue tracking would be for the community's benefit. (e.g. not having to search a gigantic forum post to see if a bug has been reported or not)

Legality-wise: From looking at Github's terms of service, it doesn't appear this would be violating any of them.

Also I'm not particulary attached to github... well I am because I use it a lot... but there are other fine hosted issue trackers out there. http://userecho.com comes to mind. http://www.hostedredmine.com provides free redmine hosting. Redmine is a decent solution as well.

As an aside: Jira is actually free for open source projects and is only $10/year if you host it yourself for a team less than 10 people. Once you reach 10 people, it becomes stupidly expensive and I don't recommend it unless you're a fairly sizable company.

 

Hmm, it has only made it more confusing for me then. So I have to grind my way through level one planets in order to build up for the first boss? That seems more difficult than before.

 

Maybe I shouldn't have said it's not a bug. I should have said it was intended. If it makes it more confusing, I'd categorize it as a bug/issue then. My bad.

 

No worries, was just looking for clarification and I have received it. Thanks.

 

So, after the character wipe, I made a new char and figured not to follow the quests for a while, but eventually, when I did start doing the quests and got to the distress beacon one, i had already crafted one from earlier, then put it in my inventory, then it said quest completed. But once I tried to place the beacon, the UFO never showed up. What gives?

 

Errrm, says a fix for Mac OSX is deleting the "player" folder in "assets". I have "assets" but no such "player" folder. any explanation or alternative fix?

 

There's a bug with ranged weapons (or rather, AIs), I made a gif which explains it pretty well:

 

Hey guys, just have play for about 7h with my char....then save and quit and it crashed....some dirty error..... and next time I wanted to play the char was deleted...
Dont anyone know what happened??
It was not reset cos i see player and ship in the folder but when I open them they are empty... it happend all today.
Ty guys

 

I have also noticed it.

The other bugs to report:
1) 3D-printer still "eats" spawner devices on scan without putting them to the list.
2) [maybe it was done on purpose after weapon rebalancing] Many merchants (which seem to sell weapons) are not selling anything, just blank item list. However, merchants of cloths, food and syringes function correctly.

 

If you place items like a bed or crafting table on your ship you may not be able to beam down to planets. Removing them allows you to beam down again.

 

1) Neither hot coals nor lava emit heat.
2) Crystal blocks become invisible when colored with the Paint Tool.
3) Warping to the planet often doesn't work and sends you to your ship.
4) Warping to your ship while using Gravity Bubble locks you in place and forces you to save and quit.

 

Technologies & Crafting:

If you have both Bubble Boost and Butterfly Boost locked in, switching between the two while using the active one will cause the sound effect to lock in place. Selecting the tech whose sound is still playing will fix this, but also results in every particle that would have spawned had the tech been being used since the sound started spawning at once at the player's position, which can cause extreme lag, depending on the amount spawned.

The pixel compressor's sprite loops improperly; the conveyer belt appears to jump back a little bit every time it loops.

 

just had starbound.exe crash while attemping to load a character i've been playing as, this is the log: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=UP42F0Pv

 

They aren't REALLY. But they are technically, since they changed the levelling system from 1-100 to 1-10, I believe every sector has a different threat level.

 

Villagers and guards I spawn duplicate copies of themselves from time to time. Sometimes they just wander off never to be seen again.

 

Prison Control Console's visual disappears when you activate them.
Dunno if this is mentioned already but, might as well add it if I encounter it. xP

Also yeah, any ranged weapons I seem find meet up with, I just walk up against the person and bullets go out the end of the gun and hit my friend I'm always playing with behind me instead because I'm mean~

 

Some minor, some major:

-crashed when placing snow on desert (bone)
-cannot scrub scrollbars in menus
-"LOADING" on opening lag varies (5-30 sec)
-"wooden support" cannot flip/mirror horizontally when looking either way, like other items
-opening a door into a 'wall' where a poster is on the wall (in this case, the "obey monkey poster", the door goes 'behind' the poster.
