is now live people! Restart Steam and enjoy

 

Will we need to create new characters to access the new back armor?

 

Could not see any new back armor recipe on my character / or the worktables..

Started a new char, Made a workbench + loom, nothing :s

Possible further down the road, or its a pattern thats found in chests / bought.
Or perhaps its glitched and not working..

 

Thanks,Was looking for something like this ^.^

 

This ^

 

Well, coal is pretty damn common if you know how to mine and have a good planet. However! It is my theory that the ships use coal and uranium and other heat-produces elements in order to heat water, steam is easier then water to split into oxygen and hydrogen. I think they ships actually burn a mixture of Hydrogen and Oxygen for fuel, but needs a heat source to start with!

 

for me... it's coal

 

Any information on the tiny little update steam downloaded today? It is like 15.4KB in size. I'm guessing it's something minor.

 

you do know that steam IS water, right? RIGHT? PLEASE?

On a second note... not sure about this new patch, but on the previous one I was getting LOADS of the SAME DOUBLE-JUMP TECH O_O can we have something like, I don't know, take two repeated techs and turn them into a new random one?

 

I've only got as far as a furnace lol, I'm just smelting lots and lots of ore at the moment.

 

You have to explore to find techs inside hi-tech chests. I found 3, 1 in an Apex "Big Ape complex" with lots of tesla lightning on the way, another on a random house at the surface, and the third somewhere on the moon, I don't really remember where. All of them, the same =(

 

Are they the floating ones that spin?, I destroyed a few of those and it gave me nothing -.-

 

they look just like normal chests, but green or blue, and with a hi-tech look instead of wood.
The floating lightning spheres, if I identified correctly from your description, are just decoration =D

 

I am way too amused at the patch titles. Good to see they implemented the turn wood into coal feature. It's at a high cost, but it does feel balanced that way.

 

The little update appears to have fixed the launching scripts for Linux builds. Just adjusts the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable for launching the game with so that it launches properly.

Edit: Nope, I was wrong. Only new files I see are under assets/species, the .species files having been updated.

Edit #2: And some authorization and default configuration stuff. In particular a new asset file "authmunin.config" being added, and default_configuration.config being changed. The changes in default_configuration.config seem to be a new window title, and some changes to authentication variables.

Otherwise, the rest appears to be the species files, switching out "level31" for "tier4" in the text.

 

I haven't found the back item yet, unless it's the lantern. Also haven't figured out how to make the grappling hook. I guess it's higher than tier 2 crafting.

 

I've decided to stop playing until stage 2; I can't take the wipes.

Any idea when stage 2 will begin? Are we talking weeks or months?

 

Re-use the Tier 2 Data chip to unlock the lantern on a stick backpack.

Grappling hook it Tier 4

 

No one knows my friend, depends on how good development goes.
I'd guess but I'd be far off I think

 

How do I get my hands on a stick Backpack?
