I just spent the evening digging various caves and tunnels, I'm rather lost now.
Is there a map at all?

Found a Glitch Wizard in a Church.

Made some changes and called it home.

I bought this yesterday after getting slightly bored of fps games and felt like I needed a change. Its the first game of this type that I've played bar a quick go of the minecraft demo and I have to say, I'm loving it. I havent even left my first planet yet as I've been enjoying burrowing deep underground and mining ores. This style of game really has a charm that most other modern games have lost; its very easy to pick up and play but has such complexity that there is always something to do.

So I've downloaded the game, and i'm getting C++ Errors after character creation, anyone had this problem and know a fix?

Cheers.

Everyone playing single player? I don't quite see the point in multiplayer when there's frequent wipes.

I'm not playing at all until they do a few updates

Not really feeling this coming from Terraria, mining takes so long! Do things speed up?

yea I had a gold pickaxe which was pretty fast.
I think there are drills and stuff to which are probably faster?

Yeah, eventually when you get further in the game.

Go to your ship and sit in the cockpit, it'll bring up a space map of planets you can visit. Be sure to be stocked up on fuel though.

I meant more of an on planet map, showing what you've explored

Even with the diamond pickaxe mining rock/stone is slow.

One thing I really dislike is how mining ore squares takes longer than normal squares. There's no good "game mechanics" reason why this should be. It just makes mining more of a pain than it needs to be.

Any idea what's in the latest patch? Couldn't see any patch notes yet. Really want them to get rid of the FPS bug, its unplayable most of the time.

FrenchTart · 15 Dec 2013 at 11:19

The only problem with server restarts is it resets your quests and the sectors you can visit

FoxEye · 15 Dec 2013 at 15:38

That's odd. I've still got my ship and my gear, but my quests are reset and I'm back in Alpha sector...

That what happens when universe is reset?

Neil79 · 15 Dec 2013 at 15:42

Yes

shame we cant do just a planet reset now... Universe reset is ok but more of a pain now with boss levels

Loosecannon · 15 Dec 2013 at 16:02

Was going to try this again, but seems too popular now with 8 people in there!

Reeve · 15 Dec 2013 at 21:03

I cant believe how big some of the planets are on this game. I was out scouting planets for a pirate ship as I still was reliant on my bow and I needed a decent ranged weapon to take on the dragon. I landed on this desert planet and I figured since it had the ruins of some kind of aircraft in the background it was bound to have a pirate ship. 2.5 hours later and I finally complete a lap of the planet....no sign of pirates

.

It wasn't all bad, I left with 1500 coal as well as thousands of other ores and a few legendary weapons.
