My impression has been mostly good so far, but I'm having some serious issues with framerates. No idea what it is either, since the hardware is more than enough to run the game.

allright, I lied and played more this afternoon. Beat the beta and delta bosses, made it to gamma sector. Bought a bunch of guns. Nothing I've found is actually better then quick daggers that shoot a projectile. The way to kill anything in the game currently is

I've been hosting the server for friends, so I have no idea how much I've actually played but it has been many hours.
Steam says I'm up to 82 hours played.

The 3D printer is still useful for making chests, since I like storing things on my ship.
You can print out the 16 slot 2x2 chests which is better than I can craft so far.

I kind of miss that there was a point to decorating in Terraria.
There I had to make rooms with certain things to accommodate the NPCs.
Now I'm just doing it because I'm a space thief who likes shiny things.

Sure, if you want to cheese the game. The only mobs I struggle with are those damned sniper rifles.

And I'm not on some high horse, my cheese of choice is jumping puzzles, because fuck those. Actually, as with Terraria, the platforming parts are what bring down an excellent exploration/building game.

Hit them with your pick? Build around them?

Monsters need to start digging ASAP. You can just block in everything at the moment, including the robot boss, and beat them senseless through the wall.

Arg, you people are making me want this now.  Any other people want to chip in to get a 4 pack together?

Unless of course there is a chance of it being on sale during the winter break, but I doubt it.

I'd be in for one copy if you're still trying to get a 4-pack together.

Changelog for v. Annoyed Koala 12/9/2013
HUGE balance patch, every item, creature, armor and weapon rebalanced. Leveling system entirely rewritten

- Tons of new sounds
- Guns more common in tier 3
- Underground detached/rare biomes more common
- Underground random encounters more common
- Underground chests more common
- Ore rebalance (probably way way too much ore at the moment, will be fixed later, enjoy it)
- Baby monsters
- New monster palettes
- Added pixel compressor for high cost banking (idea from Ncrpts)
- Disable using the beamaxe to light caves underground
- Added new hats
- some monsters now graze on grass (can look ugly, needs finishing)
- Small bipeds now socialise with eachother
- All the monsters behave smarter and are less likely to get stuck

- Fix the game on XP (hopefully)
- Tons more fixes and smaller additions

This game is fun, and it scratches that Terraria itch really well. There's a few small flaws that are a bit irritating (inventory management involves to much clicking and dragging, it should be more intuitive; there is a dire shortage of explanations for some things, like item durability; the monster animations are a bit goofy, they look worse than Terraria imo), but these aren't enough to stop my enjoyment of the game.

Is there a way to bank pixels? Or do I have to resign myself to losing a chunk every time I die, which I do with distressing regularity.

Because death penalties make games more fun!  I don't know why they can't just make all games permadeath, wipe your save game securely from disk. If you die ten times, it deletes the game.

They're adding a banking feature (pixels -> voxels which are carried in inventory), but at *40%* cost which seems a bit silly to me.

I don't mind death having some sting, but I feel like it's a bit much at the moment -- especially in conjunction with combat balance being kinda out of whack.  Luckily the game is crazy-modable, so adjusting those costs downwards or disabling them entirely should not be difficult.

No joke, holy shit.  Hold on to your starter weapon, it's the best you'll find until after you defeat the UFO Boss.

Did they give new starter weapons? Because the lvl 5 craftable was better, and I did find a really nice level 10 purple that shot 5 poisonous bones in an arc.

If the one you know about is the shitty two-handed sword, then no change.

I can't think about pixels at the moment, I don't really know how to make a house and decided to build a campfire on a spaceship.  What can go wrong?

I set up the metalworking forge from the UFO drop on the ship. Made it easier once I moved into the beta tier, rather than having to either move all my crops and rebuild or cart all my metal back to alpha to build stuff.

I've seen enough ship pimping to think they might need to expand on that part of the game a bit.

Hmm, my starting sword has 10 DPS, and all my Iron craftable stuff ranges from 6 to 9 DPS.  I did find an 11 DPS spear in a chest though, so yeah, I guess you can find better weapons, I'm just wondering what the point of the iron weapons is now.

On the up side, the UFO boss is less of a grind, now.  Still deals a ton of damage, but killing it with an iron bow only took a few minutes this time.  That, at least, felt way better rebalanced.

Coal is going to be a problem for me, again, I think, since it looks like wood doesn't work for fuel now, and you still need tons of coal for torches and steel.

You can turn 10 wood into a piece of coal in the furnace now if you find yourself desperately short.

For money saving measures, once you down the UFO you can build a Refinery device which converts ore and bars into pixels. Silver ore and gold ore convert into 15 and 25 pixels respectively, so I hold onto those and convert them when I need the cash.

Having a blast with this at the moment, I think even more so after the wipe and balance changes.

I haven't much time to play since the combat changes, but I have been dying more :p Getting my first meat was a bit brutal (and I'm ok with a tough start). My started sword as an apex was only a 5, btw.

Joined your server last night Logain, ended up on some really nice planet with loads of easy kill aliens, I need pixels for a refinery so this was handy. The aliens on my single player world are fairly tough.

Think there's an option to create/join parties not sure how to use it though.

You click the plus under your portrait and type in the name of the player you want to invite. Use caution though cuz once partied they can visit your ship and loot all your stuff.

I'm on now if anyone's playing.
