It appeared to be a small room with two chests and no enemies. It will take you to the outpost, where youll get your next quest to repair your ship. Just take your 20 core fragments with you to activate the gate. Accessing the door said it would take us to another, dangerous, dimension. prompts you to find the 'ancient energy source' youre supposed to find the ancient warp gate, which is now located on your starting planet. The highlight of the night came when we discovered a portal door underground. Of course, it’s not very useful for getting back up these cavers…but that’s what building stairs out of dirt blocks are for. I am not a careful player and fell to my death several times before I realized that I can craft rope to jump down into the caverns.

These core fragments were pretty deep underground so we had some exploring to do. Find below a list of all Starbound console commands for players and server administrators, updated for the latest version of Starbound on Steam (1.3.3, PC / Mac). Our first objective was to find core fragments to power up a communication device we found on the planet. I just remember not going out at night last time I played. I don’t know if this is different once we leave the first planet.
On this first planet, there doesn’t seem like there’s a reason to hide inside at night. But I still have that broken sword equipped since it’s good for dealing with swarming enemies. At first glance, the guns seemed better than our starting broken swords. We set up all of the initial crafting benches and started exploring the caverns below us. We found a premade structure fairly close to our initial spawn to build a little base. Even so, sometimes there’s nothing you can do about it as your character pops and gets respawned on the ship. There’s this obnoxious noise when you’re starving that can be heard by you and your partner so we both knew when the other was on the verge of starvation. Cooked meat fills the hunger gage faster than eating raw plants. Once we learned how to use the hunting spears this became less of a problem. Our time early in the night was spent dying of hunger until we figured out how to cook. I’m probably still going to look into it just to see if I can get it to work. I had it working up until the point where I had to create user accounts. More so because I wanted to see how it worked than actually play the game from a dedicated server. I was looking into creating a server before we started playing. Once we both made characters I could join the game through Steam, form a party, and warp over to Greg’s location. I also need to remap the drop item key to something other than Q because I kept throwing my weapon on the ground all night. I kept using bandages instead of firing my gun. You can put items on the left and right mouse clicks. The UI took a little to get used to again. The current quest system provides some focus and slowly introduces new systems. But it still has the same basic gameplay I put so much time into before. There are cutscenes now, a whole tutorial mission, quests, NPCs, hoverbikes, and mechs. That is until last night when we started a multiplayer playthrough.
Over the years, Steam let me know every time there was a new update but I never had the desire to fire it up again. I put about 40 hours into the early access build before I put it away. It was also my first experience with Early Access. Starbound was my fourth purchase on Steam. As you’d excpect, a lot has changed in 7 years. It's dangerous to explore deep into a moon, so it's definitely okay if you just want to just skim the surface of the planet looking for the crystal Erchius fuel.The last time I played Starbound was in 2013.
To collect it, you will need the liquid collection upgrade for your Matter Manipulator. Underground, you may also encounter the fuel in liquid form. There will be deposits of fuel along the surface of the moon, but you will be able to find larger clusters the farther underground you are. To mine the fuel, approach it with your mech and right-click. You can choose any moon as they all contain Erchius fuel.Īfter exploring the moon's surface, you will notice clusters of glowing pink ore. Once you have either the EPP or mech, head to a moon.
Akaggy (a penguin) to take a mech for a test drive, and you will receive a basic one after the course is complete.
To get your first mech, complete the Test Drive quest, which can be found in the underground portion of the Outpost. If you don't have the Breathing EPP, you can also use your mech. This EPP will allow you to breathe on moons and underwater. You can craft a Breathing EPP from an anvil with 6x tungsten bars, 10x glass, and 1x living root. Moons have no atmosphere, so you will either need the Breathing EPP or a mech.
