ui complete (for now) and I have created a sprite for the table [DOUBLEPOST=1423291358][/DOUBLEPOST]should I release the mod in its current state or price blocks first? I will contiue to update the mod until i am happy it is at a high enough quality level and i have added all the planned features
Only just started playing Starbound due to recent update and started to look for a mod to do this, so very happy despite only recently it is actually being done! I have spent hours looking for blocks to finish my building. So far it looks good ^.^ Keep up the good work guy~ (those metal bars right there are something i am currently scouring planets for xP)
on the subject of metal, metal objects are on of the biggest dilemmas I'm having with the project What should they cost? a cobblestone, a iron bar i feel like a iron bar is too expensive because when you enter the late game planets there is no iron so you don't end up collecting large amounts like you do with cobble and wood maybe I should have it cost one of any metal but thats a problem cause each metal will require its own recipe so there will be 4 or 5 clones of each recipe cluttering up the ui I have also thought about creating a "metal block" that can be crafted with any metal (or pixles) but is used to craft metal recipes or the last option is to just price items by pixles
I don't think an iron bar would be too expensive, well for like the metal bars etc have it like planks so you get a couple out of it, but I assuming the idea of the mod is to simply make it so these blocks have a means to obtain them rather than pure luck of digging through entire planets. If iron isn't so common on late game planets people would simply have to go back to earlier planets? It makes it so these blocks require some effort, but one that is in reach, not hours spent hoping.
haha thats a strange forum bug the numbers in my post disappeared five =5 5 four =4 4 seems to be working i was thinking 4 bars per bar
I have now released beta1 http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?resources/blocktable-plus.2689/
I am not sure if it is because of new update or if i don't have the things? But it is only showing things that i am able to make at a crafting table :O It doesn't show anything i need supplies for only things with supplies i have, i have a full inventory and only 30 things or so show up to craft :/
if you have the blocks in your inventory try throwing them on the ground and picking them back up because currently most recipes are discovered on that blocks pickup. also you can use the categories down the bottom to sort only block table recipes (the first one is all block table recipes only)
Oh i see now. You learn to make the block you pick up, that is pretty cool, makes you go find them first ^.^
good to see you like . it although im planning on having some blocks added in a more conventional way such as learning concrete when you find limestone ect
