lol I mean I've updated my post

Apparently the patch came out very late zzzzzzzzzz

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

Neil79 · 12 Dec 2013 at 01:04

Good Good

Thanks for doing that, will play tomorrow

Finally I can get coal, haven't gone beyond 150 fuel since the previous patch lol

FrenchTart server needs a restart, it's lagging so hard that I'm being chased across the planet by resources I've just mined

I can't get to it right now. Could you try messaging maxi?

He isn't anywhere to be found

There was still a bit of lag but nowhere near as bad as it was. At the time hardly anyone could play and boss fighting was bad. I ended up being killed by the dragon boss as it was lagging all over the place lol. Ever seen a character running across the planet with 50 stacks of wood floating in mid air chasing you?

Last I played was at 11.30pm ish and the enemies falling or being hit isn't as smooth as it is on SP. However that was about it

Out of interest, did you check the player count? I sometimes wonder if the lag isn't so much the server needing a restart as it simply having too many players on at once.

Not sure, at the time when it was really bad and I mean really bad, only 4 people responded. You could run right and the server was playing catch up with it still generating terrain, or tons of money pixels spinning around and around your character

Didn't seem that many tbh, just people calling for a server restart

p.s That Dragon will die!

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

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

Can't seem to connect to LT server. Offended Koala build

I believe it's down

I'm sticking with single player for awhile because it resets my quests and visited systems every time the uni is reset on mp

Space Combat: Way in the future, expect space combat and the ability to board other ships.

It's the concept for future ship upgrades from one of the game designer's twitter

Neil79 · 21 Dec 2013 at 15:37

Need hard worlds even in first zone

Neil79 · 24 Dec 2013 at 16:18

Frenchtart my brother can't get on the server, yet I can perfectly fine...

Character -> Pinkie

[SD]Neil79: linktart.co.uk
[SD]Neil79: then blank under account
[SD]Neil79: then password linktart.co.uk
[SD]Neil79: dont put anything in acc
[Arc] P*: ok, now it's saying wrong password
[Arc] P*: linktart.co.uk is what i put for both the password and ip name

Very strange, anyone else getting that issue?

Patch next week?

".ds_store issue affecting OSX 9.1 users (A bug where Finder created an invisible file called .ds_store in the player folder which caused the game to crash).
"A number of character creation/selection screen crashes related to loading corrupted save files
"An issue that could prevent the launcher from starting (MSVCRT.dll)
"DirectX crash bug (303 bug)
"Several memory leaks, including the slow-but-significant server memory leak a lot of people were experiencing and GUI memory leak
"Fixed a crash bug related to GUI controls
"Reduced memory load of FTL animation
".abc files with comments no longer crash the game, plus various .abc fixes as far as key signatures/timing
"A number of issues with players spawning underground
"A bug where players spawned outside the ship if they’d previously saved the game while in the Captain’s Chair
"Right shift key was not working as a shift key, now it is
"An issue tech slots were unusable under certain conditions
"Wiring system fixes– wires are rendered below UI elements, wires no longer break when crossed into an unloaded sector
"Added image metadata caching, improved assets caching
"Added a jeep mech that was supposed to have been in the last patch, but had mysteriously gone missing!
"Object flipping issues
"Sped up the crafting window
"Fixed a sound issue that occurred after many concurrent weapon hits
"Characters no longer blink while sleeping in beds
"Assorted minor performance improvements"

Here's what new stuff Chucklefish have planned:

"New game modes! Permadeath and drop-everything-on-death modes.
"Revolvers, pulse rifles, hand grenades, shivs, Floran needlers, Floran thorn hammer
"Human guards now wear soldier uniforms
"More decorative hats! Yay, hats!
"More random encounters
"Possibly more content, if it’s finished on time!"

"There’s also the highly anticipated/possibly feared final character wipe," explains a new post on the Starbound blog. "This patch contains a fix for save files so after this, you won’t need to worry about our patches destroying your characters or ships. This patch will wipe everything – characters, ships and worlds. It will definitely be the last time we’ll need to wipe characters or ships, and will hopefully be the last time we’ll need to wipe worlds."
