bug with using mods or something?
If you are using fraking universe, for instance, and get that mission where you have to go to the lab (their tutorial for new players) you cant go back to an unmodded game on the same save, because whenever you open the mission panel, the game will crash.

Where can i find tungestan? The enemies in the depths deatroy me, yet I can't find any tungestan that is neccessary for crafting armor.
Also, how do you climb back up?
I just use dirt tiles to create stairs, but there is gotta be a better way(can't remember what I did in terraria)

I bugged my crew member in multiplayer. For some reason, the crew came down with me even though it's an engineer. Warped back up and now there's three of the same crew....
Just warp back to the ship and back down to the planet.
Dirt is your best friend. When you see an enemy, surround yourself with dirt and mine your way out to safety.

Kinda don't plan to play unmodded.
You are good to go, then. Frakin adds a ridiculous ton of stuff.
Just a tip for new players like myself (well new as in haven't played in like over a year), is that apparently that mine shaft you find on your starter planet... Is also on the OTHER planets that are lush in your starter system. Got a bunch of upgrades from going to each of them.
Maybe on another planet. Its pretty plentiful near the surface of some planets.

How do i get to other planets?
Use the Seat at the front of the Ship to open the Map. Flying to other planets inside the solar system is fuel free. To go outside the solar system you need fuel.

It says i need something called archaic power source to get the ship to function.
You have to beat the first boss in order to repair your ship. Once done, you can sit in the pilots seat and select worlds in that star system to travel to. For interstellar FTL travel, you need fuel. build the thing that lets you survive in zero oxygen environments and collect crystals from moons or buy the liquid version of that fuel (much more expensive) .

I think you won't be able to play on servers that don't support the mod.

If you look at the Galactic Map in your ships pilot seat you can see which planets have what resources you can find.
Tungsten is usually found on Desert or Forest Planets from what this menu shows.
So what is everyone playing on. I finally got this and played on survival and was like "that's it?"
Then I died from hunger while underground. Holy shit. There was no way out of that situation. There's no food underground. So you're constantly watching that meter and it... just isn't fun doing that. You can go down there with like 20 stacks (if you're lucky enough to even find this) of steak, and the end up dead.... not to monsters, but to fucking hunger. And when that shit starts beeping? Guess what?
You're gonna fucking die and you're gonna love it. Why? Because fuck you that's why.
Is casual too easy though? Does casual just remove hunger and leave everything else as is? Because I don't want anything else to change.

I don't understand what the game wants me to do like I'm on my first planet and it wants me to find Core Fragments? Aight but I can't actually make anything except like I made some spears. But there's nothing really to make that will help me get Core Fragments...so I'm just supposed to slowly dig with my matter manipulator I guess?
I've gone deep as fuck into some mines and temples and stuff and it's all just Iron Ore and Copper and Cobblestone that I can't make anything with because I have no recipes? The last release I played which was a long time ago but it had pickaxes and shit to help digging. I've made every single tool that's available for crafting and there's not shit to make.

Core fragments are close to the core at the lowest level, and they also glow making them easier to spot. You can also loot core fragments from containers in mines and there should always be a big mine somewhere on the starting planet (I think the entrance should be on the surface somewhere so you can just keep wandering above ground until you find it). You should be able to find enough core fragments just from the mine alone.
Pickaxes are now lootable very limited use items that dig significantly faster but break quickly. The matter manipulator is your main digging tool now and there's an upgrade progression (which you can access from the top right menu icons) using the upgrade items that you find.

It's not telegraphed but daytime in Starbound does feature less hostile creatures, and they are for the most part relatively small in size. Night is a lot more dangerous with larger monsters making an appearance, hostile birds etc.
So the very first task they want me to do is dig to the actual center of the earth with a base level digging tool? Da fuck.

I believe there is a sort of misconception going around because of the difficulty settings.
Like in the previous pages in this thread some folks looked at the word "casual" and automatically did not want to play on that mode just because of the connotation of that word, rather than understanding what the three difficulty modes actually mean in the context of the game.
In terms of combat and fighting enemies there is virtually no difference between the difficulty settings. Meaning a challenging fight in Casual would be no harder in Survival, and with the added risk of permanent death in Hardcore mode.
These are the only differences in the three difficulty settings.
Casual you don't get hungry and you don't drop items or ore upon death except for 10% of your Pixels, you can warp out of any dangerous situation back to the ship.
Survival you drop ore and items upon death and you get hungry. You drop 30% pixels upon death and you can only warp back to your ship from the surface of a planet, you cannot warp to your ship from underground.
Hardcore, Same as Survival in that you get hungry, except death is permanent.
Outside of these changes there enemies don't hit harder or do additional damage.
There are Mods on the Steam Workshop to adjust things accordingly, such as enabling hunger in casual mode, or disabling item drops in Survival (basically making the only changes the amount of Pixels you lose)
Their should always be a Mine on the starter planet that has a bunch of crates that contain Core Fragments as well as a Mini-Boss that always drops 10 Core Fragments upon death.

People having trouble with the spinning radish should really find a spear.
They are so good. You hold onto the attack button to make your spear stick out and do minor damage, but you constantly knock them back. Spears also have great range, and Rocket Spear is the best type for even more range. It's like having a flamethrower in a spear.

I found the mine but there was a rabbit or whatever those whistley things are boss there that I killed and he didn't drop 10 of the cores. Can I speak to your manager please?

I found core fragments in the boxes and stuff. Didn't even have to mine to the centre of the planet.
I finally got down there and starved trying to get back up See? Yea. Only change i want is no hunger. Being able to beam up from anywhere is lame, and doesn't actually make any "sense". You should have to make it back to the surface to beam up. So I guess I just need the mod that disables hunger on survival?
Everything else I can handle. Those spinny fucks are annoying tho.
Gonna make a new game i guess...
Mod it out yo!

Even better: you can upgrade your matter manipulator to make it better in the main hub area. Improve the range, speed of disintegration, size of its target area, and you can get it to take liquids, etc.
It costs, uh... Matter Manipulator Modules or something like that, though. You will find them in certain areas and as quest rewards AFAIK. You'll need about 8 to improve the speed (which will instantly feel as slow as before, lol), 13 to improve the area of effect, 3 to take liquids, and more for the techs behind these respective upgrades.
I'd go with guns personally, but the damage on all of the ones I've found is terrible. So right now I'm settling for acid knife and freezing pistol...
Oh wow, had no idea. Since it didn't have zombies popping up everywhere I just assumed it made no difference. I'll have to pay more attention in the future.
I'm not seeing a mod to disable hunger on survival in the Workshop. Maybe I should just start over on casual. I like everything about the game except the hunger mechanic.
Or maybe I'll just go with the slow hunger mod which might make the mechanic more to my taste. Then at least I don#t have to completely ignore farming which might still be interesting.
You make it. Or just convert your current save to casual. Or yeah a slower hunger would be better.

So is it safe to switch to Frakkin if I'm in the middle of the game? Does it change/screw up the story quests at all?
I've only just scratched the surface of the game, but more "stuff" always sounds cool to me.

Yeah, decided to go with the slow hunger mod. It now takes an hour to get hungry instead of 25 minutes. That seems way better to me.
I think I just found a mod we can use???
http://community.playstarbound.com/resources/tanz-hunger-overhaul.3354/
Only 90% hungry after an hour? Not bad I guess. For now.
EDIT: Oh? You found the same one I think?

Farming with the Garden bot mod is pretty cool. The bots will automatically water crops, pick them, and put them into containers for you while you are out adventuring. There are also Guardian bots to defend your other worker bots.

In regards to the Hunger annoyance, at lot of the problems somewhat alleviated themselves once I got a Bow. It's convenient being to just take out a weak creature with a Bow and they drop a Raw Meat all the time and just cook it in a Campfire to make Steaks.
One thing I would have liked if higher tiers of food had a longer full status. I haven't seen any point to make higher level of foods beyond Steaks and Meat Dumplings.
I think a Satiation status effect needs to be implemented if you eat a high ranked food it will slow the hunger bar for a preset duration, with the highest tier foods having the longest effect in slowing the hunger meter.
Some of the mods actually have been made over the years when the game was still in Early Access, some of them being so good, the devs got permission to implement them into the main game as actual content.
Also most of the existing mods that have been around for awhile that worked on the previous beta / early access versions of Starbound were basically updated to work with version 1.0

I actually found this one: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=730867662&searchtext=hunger
The one you mentioned is also on the Workshop and might be even better.
Dude it's amazing. I feel like it is the perfect balance. It keeps the challenge while still making it a fun mechanic. It is like a whole different game now! I love it. Started a new game with it and am already feeling better about it.
You need 2 crew
I wonder if they will defend them against my crew who like to use the Garden bot as target practice.
flashburn2012
Member
Yeah, that's the one bug they need to fix. I need to make sure whenever I go to my farm I don't take any of my crew or else they kill the bots.

Has the frame rate gotten more stable since the beta?
I havent played in a year but I remember I was getting low FPS at times and this game shouldnt require exceptional hardware. I will re-install tonight and try again.

there's a mod that adds a deconstruction machine. it's almost a little too effective in that you can get some pretty rare materials pretty easy that way.
I don't mind though.

Seems shit to me. Running on a Fury X and there was one challenge room where there were tons of flames and my frame rate had to be around 10FPS... made it really tough. It seems like in general whenever there's lots of props or particle effects the frame rate suffers a bit.
YES! Im gonna use this. The hunger mechanic as is, for me, is just not fun.
Check the last tab on the anvil crafting station, you should be able to craft an enviro protection pack.
