[STABLE] Glad Giraffe Hotfix + Dev Blog!

Hello!

A hotfix was pushed today for a very specific issue.

  • If your game crashed between completion of one quest and pressing the button to accept another quest, it could make you unable to complete the main quest line. Now it doesn’t do that!

Shortest changelog ever!

image_2015-12-16_16-59-57With Glad Giraffe, we temporarily removed the ability to capture monsters because the system wasn’t quite working properly and we needed a bit more time to get it up to scratch. Currently, you can only capture critters. But this is changin’! Here’s how:

  • You’ll be able to tell your capture pods apart! Capture pod tooltips will contain information about the monster inhabiting them.
  • Craft capture pods at the capture pod station, and heal your pet at the pet healing station.
  • You don’t need to kill your pet to put it back in its capture pod! You can instead throw the same capture pod again to recall the pet.

^ One for @TheStrangeLog, I think.

Our comment system still isn’t fixed, but miiight be tomorrow. For now, here’s the thread you should leave your comments in!

14th December – Inspectin’ Gadgets

Hello!

Things have been pretty hectic since Wednesday, but the forums are finally back online! Not everything is in the right place and some things are still missing as they’re still being reorganized and shuffled about, but the damage was actually not as bad as we thought. You can read more about all of that in this thread.

Tiyuri tweeted the above screenshot a little while ago, but I thought I’d give you just a teeensy bit more information. This is a sort of ‘inspection mode’ feature that will replace the current 3D printing system as a way to learn recipes, and it’ll tie into progression quests.

You’ve all seemed to enjoy the updated crafting tables as well, so have a few more:

10th December – World of More Craft

Back to our regularly scheduled dev blogs! Excluding comments for now, as they’re tied to our forums. You can always find a cross-post of our dev blogs on the Starbound subreddit though, so you can comment there until we get the forums back up and running!

The other day we showed you some of the new crafting tables, so today I thought I’d show you how some of those tables can be upgraded in later tiers.

‘Til next time! <3
