This gets repetitive...

So let's say you're on a high-level planet and you find a chest. This is normally what happens.


"What's this?"

"A chest?"

"Well considering I'm on a tier 10 planet,
there must be sweet treasure inside!"

(What we hope for)


(What we get)

Can somebody report on whether they plan to do any balancing or fixing to the chest loot system?
Because oh my god. Copper on tier 10?? All the village chests have the same stuff!

 

They're poor peasants! Space peasants. Or something like that. Point is: What did ya' expect?

 

mmm pie

 

A pie, would be enough.

 

i think the more hidden the chest, the better the loot. surface chests should have crap.

 

not what I hope for in a chest. diamonds are not really all that special. neither is that specific tech. I actually find that specific tech all the time whether I want it or not. ><

What I hope for in chest is anything I can put into crafting, building, or the refinery. Weapons I would go after the aggressors at a temple or dungeon of some kind, or mini-boss. What isn't repetitive? I have seen this in many games, I have yet to see one that isn't repetitive. Although some distract more from the gruel than others...

So I just expect basic loot from a chest like that in which is found near the surface or in a village. I guess I am just too easy to please... or well easily entertained...

 

Agree with the OP 100%, I expect garbage from chests all the time now. Chests are a big letdown in this game.

 

Diamonds are near ubiquitous on tier 10, Legendary weapons are all over the place, Tech is easy to complete, Collected all instruments, Pie - I prefer my 300x upside-crown cakes that my personal ship chef curiously sell all the ingredients for...
Now that flashlight I lost when I died an hour after I started in a lava pit... The replacement never came (or only came in odd colors)

Also, by end-game, all I want are chef-spawners that I spam on my ship - why grow crops when I can simply have enough chefs to sell all the possible crops? :whistle:

 

They must have some pretty strong gear if they're living on a level 10 planet, though.

 

I think they are technically serfs rather than peasants, since Glitch is quite feudal. And.... they die pretty easily when I let that flyer into the house ;p

Fun quote from an aged movie that seemingly capture how they live:

Quinn Abercromby: What do we do when we are awake?
The Children: Keep two eyes on the sky.
Quinn Abercromby: What do we do when we sleep?
The Children: Keep one eye on the sky.
Quinn Abercromby: What do we do when we see them?
The Children: Dig hard, dig deep, go for shelter, and never look back.

 

Most of the treasurepools generated chests draw from are stand-ins. In other words: beta.

 

There are simply too many chests everywhere for each particular chest to always have awesome loot.

 

amen

 

What I thought in my head:

Quinn Abercromby: What do we do when we are awake?
The Children: Sleep. ī_ī
Quinn Abercromby: What do we do when we sleep?
The Children: Sleep. ī_ī
Quinn Abercromby: What do we do when we see them?
The Children: Kick them in the jimmies and never look back. ī_ī

Sorry. lol

 

Its so epic "what we hope for- what we get" , I think you can put that to every game with treasure chest !

 

Lol , was funny.

I stopped believing in chests , prefer kill NPC for drop nice weap


and i need this torch

 

I guess you're just unlucky...
Yesterday I openned a chest and it gave me an extra starbound key

 

i still look inside of em, most of the times it's garbage but yesterday when i opened one it had a pie inside of it and a decent gun for me. (before that i was still walking around with a tier 2 gun)
