    Umm played a bit of SP was enjoying it then joined a groups server, they had a dupe glitch and an hour later I had a spaceship and rocket launchers

    I liked the SP and if MP was as slow it would be fun.

    Didnt come accross a dupe glitch myself,could have used that the odd time!

    I can see how that could potentially spoil it.

    The HWS server is usally the most popular,normally a lot of people on and they create and manage their own custom mods. A good few of which the devs have borrowed from.

    Here's what happened to myself and Jack last night:
    Flew around planet and discovered abandoned mine. Investigate mine? yep, went back to base, stocked up on guns ammo and bandages. Flew back, broke in the door and went down a lift, up a lift and got attacked by creatures called 'Nightmare' Used up some bandages, ate some food, reloaded all weapons and moved further into the facility. Found more, killed them and looted storage containers. Jack died, I waited for him, we moved forward again, Jack blows hole in the ground, uncovers walkway and falls in. Get attacked by aliens and dies. I wait. again. I fall into hole shooting wildly jumping around, trying to escape, I die. When you die you drop your backpack which holds everything you had. So at the ship I construct another gun and ammo. Back to get backpack. We both jump in and die. again. we both head back to base with nothing in our inventory. I start again by making a rocket launcer and 20 rockets for it. Alas time caught up with us and had to leave it there. Next time i'm going back rockets blazing, with backup :D

    He he,those abandoned mines can be tough if your not sure what to expect. If you can find any Epic weapons they will help a lot.

    Pro tip from my few hours playing it, Rocket Launchers dont deal splash damage. It must be a direct hit :)

    After the last update, seems to be more (better) stuff in the crates in the stations. Pistol is a lot stronger, a few other things, all in all, a good update. My friends and I purchased a server for €4 a month, so we can take over the solar system together Muahahahahaha. Starting from scratch again was a pain, but soon ranked up and have auto miners gathering valuable ore, just need to wipe out the stations again (yes, abandoned mine I'm coming for you) and loot EVERYTHING, before heading to the moon and clearing that right up. Can't stop playing this damn game.... 60+ hours up now, and no sign of stopping....

    1gb update out for his today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,622 ✭✭✭Revoker88


    Just had a look there,seems to be a lot of bug fixes and quality of life improvements.

    Although one thing caught my eye,a mining drill for capital ships. Also the notes stated that more resources will be available to mine in space too,id much rather this as i find mining in space to be less of a chore.

    Also its up to v5.x,im gonna hang on for a few more updates before i start another playthrough

    Almost annual bump! :D

    I saw this being played by Quill18 and it looked exactly what I wanted cause I restarted a Minecraft world recently but it just didn't quite cut it. I played a tutorial and had to stop cause I couldn't find the Motorbike it told me to get on. Started a basic world and kept getting stuck underneath solar panels when I placed them...

    However, I can see many hours going into this making silly floating strip-miners before launching into space.

    OK, I may have just found my new crack... Watched a small handful of YouTube videos (found a not terribly annoying American channel by the name of Lift Pizzas which has been useful). Made use of the Workshop and had myself a mining hovercraft digging things out and the construction is very straightforward and has loads of options to build anything you can imagine. Lots of fun, still in Early Access though, but seems to be reasonably well behaved.

    So Alpha 12 dropped for this,procedural generation galaxy instead of the few systems previously.


    Seems they have added quite a bit i havent seen before aswell,might be time to give this another go,really enjoyed it once they updated it a bit after release

    **** this thread is nearly 5 years old.

    I forgot I own this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,622 ✭✭✭Revoker88


    Didn't realise it has been that long either,they best get a move on,still in alpha after 5 years!!

    Bit of a janky game but for some reason I like it.
