Whose unholy idea was it for randomly generated enemies?

"Oh hey Mr.Bunny Man- OH GOD THE LIGHTNING"

That lightning is so freakin OP until you get decent armor. 

I assume everything I see is hostile until proving otherwise.

I think that that's actually a pretty cool idea to be honest. Probably sucks at first but still :P

It makes things interesting honestly, I mean when you think about it, going to an alien world you aren't going to know friend from foe so I'm assuming thats that they are going for with the random generation.  Some of the sound effects are downright silly though, I remember coming across what looked like dinosaurs but the sounds they made were like someone sticking their tongue out and making a fart noise.

I once saw what looked like a raven vomiting blood at me.  It was a bit...disturbing.  Needless to say I didn't fuck with that one.

Well I looked it up and they start with the weeaboo outfit, so yes, you can start exactly as the one in the comic above.

you know what makes it more terrifying?

they want to add parts that affect the behavior of the monsters, like jumping high, having a fast charge, climbing on walls, etc.

I bought it and will play it tomorrow. Should I play blindly like I did with Diablo games or should I look some stuff up like minecraft?

Just play blindly that way it's actually fun to learn
Only heads up though, the fuel for your ship is coal.

It doesn't tell you that off the bat so you might start wasting it on torches.

I half-agree. Skyguy and I tried to go completely blind, and we couldn't do it, the games questline isn't finished so you end up just getting lost on things.

What you should do: Go in blind, but once you see or obtain something, feel free to see what it does on the wiki.
Also, if you are playing multiplayer, make sure you find a planet you like and both set it as home so you don't get lost. You do have space coordinates you can use to find each other, but that'd get annoying after a while.

P.S. - Skyguy and I spent way longer on the first planet than we needed to because we had no idea coal was fuel for a good while.

A: Weeaboo? It's just old-fashioned.

UrbanDictionary*: Someone who is obsessed with Japan/Japanese Culture/Anime, etc. and attempts to act as if they were Japanese, even though they're far from it.

The three eyed thing yes, the weeaboo outfit and hair most likely not unless you find it.

SPIDER? WHAT? ITS LIKE A FREAKING ZORA OKAY? IT'S PART FISH. WhOa

nope.gif is right.

-cut because im an nice person tic-

poor tic and the spieders.

Anywho, I'd like that tbh. It'll be fun going into S-X and Finding a TL10 planet and running the crap away from everything. :I

You forgot all the parts about where it's just planet raiding to find coal, too. And cool parts for your ship/house/etc. Like apex facilities.


*Don't kill me for using urban dictionary as a resource site.

I never played a Hylotl (Human, Floran, and Avian so far), and I was referring to your comment to Dante, how's he supposed to know its part fish, it looks nothing like a fish in the comic above, and I had no idea it was supposed to be a fishlike race until I read the wiki. 

So my point was that it is not obvious that the Hylotl is a fish, and it honestly looks more like a Spider to me.

Spiders have eight legs, they can have any number of 'eyes' which are not eyes in the way that you might think. Most of them have 4 eyes actually, two large main eyes that can process images and two small eyes that can detect light.

I see nothing wrong with birds shooting bullets out of their mouths and having to kill friendly creatures to gain holiday spirit. That's how it has always been.
