I've not received any patch through steam?

Was mentioned on forums

No patch here either and server works fine

Though it is running really bad on the MAC at family hahaha

Restart steam see if it picks it up

Updating the server now and deleting the starting world.

FrenchTart · 11 Dec 2013 at 08:54

As your characters haven't been deleted it's quite possible that you've still got OP items. Please delete them if you do. If you do decide to keep them please don't use them around other players as you will be negatively impacting their playing experience.

edit: updated and restart. I think the world reset failed so I've probably deleted another alpha planet. Sorry if so.

Also, I couldn't teleport back to my ship. Possible bug.

kthula666 · 11 Dec 2013 at 09:16

I was thinking it would be a good idea to mark visited worlds with a fire at the teleport point so you know if its had some activity from you or other players.

FrenchTart · 11 Dec 2013 at 09:30

Coming soon: Individual player accounts for the server.

Doesn't look like it's all the way there there but could be good eventually.

Server just went down :>

Those damn birds, keep killing me as soon as I land on alpha

, may have to start a new char as they are constantly there when I beam down and just basically insta-kill me.

FrenchTart · 11 Dec 2013 at 13:38

I'm on it.

edit: Maxi had already sorted it..but had incorrectly assumed he hadn't ;p

I dont suppose anyone has a left over copy of this from a 4 pack?
If so ive put a wanted thread in the MM :cool:

Been playing for the last two nights and overall I'm really enjoying it. I can see myself sinking a lot of time into the game.

I am however going to put it down for a while as it is starting to feel quite empty. I'm in Gamma sector (the third) with pretty much all the best equipment available in the crafting menus at this level. After fighting my way through a huge underground temple there was nothing of value there at all. Just some chests with uncooked meat and a few pixels in. The same is true of all the villages and other structures too. In fact the only really useful thing I've found is the energy dash blueprints.

I know the completed game is supposed to have a storyline to play through and from the structures I've seen there could be some great quests and adventures.

I hope they can flesh out the content and items by 1.0.

Neil79 · 12 Dec 2013 at 00:31

Thing is I think it's gone down in appeal since the latest patch...

All the planets I've come across are Level 1, barely ANY coal whatsoever and no WOW epic weapons that i've found. It still takes a number of hits as they nerfed the weapons down to the zones. Also the Diamond pickaxe seems worse than the platinum?

Go update!

Changelog for v. Indignant Koala 12/11/2013

There are a whole bunch of improvements to balance here, particularly in the early game.
We aren’t wiping characters or worlds, but if you want to experience the proper balance
you should make a new character/worlds to play it on!

Also..

- Nerf the hell out of birds, they no longer attack you at long range, lower damage, don’t follow you forever.
- Monster projectiles across the board better balanced
- Shields better balanced
- Early armors better balanced
- Melee weapons better balanced
- Ores better balanced

- AI improvements
- you can now craft lanterns (similar to sixxes’ lantern mod!)
- you can now craft a new back armor to help light caves
- fixed the bubble gun crashing on mouse over
- improve grass ( Suggestion by Dracyoshi)
- You are now invincible on your ship (this requires a new character)
- You need to be hit a lot harder to get knocked back
- some UI updates
- Drills now destroy 3×3 blocks
- nerf fall damage
- You can now turn 10 unrefined wood into coal in the furnace
- New “melting” status effect on lava makes lava super dangerous (watch out)
- Other misc changes

As always, more coming your way soon!

Shields are more powerful
It's now impossible to be hit by multiple projectiles at once
Gun balancing

Updated.........

Dave**** · 12 Dec 2013 at 00:56

Updated already??

Neil79 · 12 Dec 2013 at 00:58

lol I mean I've updated my post

Apparently the patch came out very late zzzzzzzzzz

FrenchTart · 12 Dec 2013 at 01:01

Okay...I'm updating now.

Neil79 · 12 Dec 2013 at 01:01

I'm glad they balanced the ores! I've found more diamond than coal on my first worlds!

FrenchTart would need to wipe the universe (Recommended by devs), characters are ok as currently the ores are badly balanced on the current worlds

Dave**** · 12 Dec 2013 at 01:03

Yes I know I wasn't referring to that but to the "go update" on your edited post.

Had to restart Steam to make it update. Auto-update, my arse.
