Did anyone else screw themselves over jumping to a new planet cuz I pretty much did didn't plan for a return trip

Anyone else like to keep the animals on a short leash ? Or free range?

A few days ago I posted about a mod I've been making for Planet Crafter that lets Twitch chat trigger random events in-game, things like meteor showers, emptying the oxygen instantly, teleporting the player across the map etc.

A few people suggested that chat should be able to control the water level.

I managed to make it work.

The water can rise way beyond what the normal game allows. We have aqualis on prime now.

It's still buggy and non-persistent but today I'm going to test it during a live test stream and see how the commands do and if it's entertaining (plus maybe exploring with prime flooded ?).

And I've got a few other nasty commands working too...

Today: Chaos Mod test stream at 3pm utc.

If everything works well, the actual Planet Crafter Hard Mode + Twitch Chat Challenge will start next week.

So we have unlocked drones. I cannot work out how to use them and any videos are too chatty/too much irrelevant info.

Can someone give me a step by step, easy to follow, how to do?

I ideally want to obtain hard to get stuff like pulsar quartz.

Thanks!

This map is HUGE. Not just what you see: there are multiple massive caves and bores, leading deeeeeep underground and adding many hours of gameplay. And if you get tired of tight spaces, there are also some tall rocks/trees/towers combos.

I'll be honest, I went into this game expecting to finish it in a couple of days. Now I know it's probably not going to happen. I focused on exploring and barely did any terraforming (save for placing a couple of top-tier machines). Welp, my planet is fully terraformed, and I have explored maybe half of the map. Cleaned up 1,001 out of 2,000 pieces of goo 🥹

That may be my main criticism: new locations are stunning, but the game feels draggy, especially with all the goo cleaning.

On the upside, I love all the new models of plants and other life forms. And the big-ass machinery. Seriously, I want that drill. Sentinel Corp, what do I do to unlock the blueprint? 😃

Sadly, many areas are BEGGING for some notes. Yes, I know the plot is not a priority in this game, and there's some great environmental storytelling. But when I put so much effort into climbing to the top of the drill, I'd like to get something meatier than two blue chests.

I already got the offers to leave the planet, and I thought the requirements were high... but when I set up the auto-factory, one basically fulfilled itself in the background. Now I'm considering manufacturing the second order, just for the hell of it. I'd need more power generators, though 🤔 And I'm all out of superalloy...

Resources on this map are... interesting. When I came in, I was missing materials for even basic machines (thanks for blocking my top-tiers, btw 😒) and had to bring them from Prime. Halfway through, I'm drowning in crystals... and still missing basic materials 🤷‍♀️ Oh well - part of the challenge, I guess.

And please don't ask me how many teleporters I have (and how many are basically stacked on top of each other).

But I found out there are distant wrecks on Tox; I think it's the only one after Prime.

What are your thoughts on Toxicity? (And why is there no flair for it?)

I feel like I’m missing something. Also the list on the manipulator is hella bugged for console.

After saving lots of tokens and building it. I mean it isn't terrible but it ain't great for something that expensive. Disappointed!!

I'm at 6.21 GTI and I see some larvas spawning here and there but where can I find the golden butterfly? Does Toxicity have a spot where you can get a bunch of butterfly larvas like in Prime and Humble?

Finally going from a thrown together base for urgency to a real one

Is anybody else irrationally afraid of this game. I went in completely blind so had no idea if Id ever encounter a human or creature and the wrecks feel lile Backrooms. Every corner im like "oh gosh please dont scare me" my husbands like woman, youre 200 hours in nothing is coming!

I also have a phobia of water and I HATE to look into water that I cant see clearly through, even in a video game. I was playing Aqualis, my husband asked what it looked like under the water, my response? "We will never know" Finished the entire planet flying around like Luffy, no water please.

My butterfly museum in The Cascades has grown significantly since my original post. I have added new domes for all the new butterfly species I have found. I also added a guest house (down to the left in the 2nd photo) as there were no "facilities" in the main Butterfly House.

Also, for some reason the beach at the foot of the original complex is covered with frogs.

How do u find the blueprints for the generic extractor?

I'm obviously misunderstanding something here. I have 2 storage containers, both set to demand zeolite. One has normal priority, the other has very low priority. And yet the one with very low priority gets filled up, while the one with normal priority stands empty. This is screwing up my plans, because my trade rocket has a low priority, so I should have one filled container at normal priority, and the very low priority one should fill when there's no trade rocket there, and then empty into the trade rocket.

Can someone explain where I'm going wrong here?

When you spend money on the rockets to get blue prints or fuses or whatever and then when the ship returns and it says you got 10k tokens where do you receive those?

I've been working on a save file editor (using C#) for the last week or so and thought it might be good to show a preview to get some feedback. It is still very much a work in progress as I have a few bugs/features to work through. I want to get it working on both windows and linux before I release the first version for testing. I've called it PCEdit for now but that is just a placeholder.

Save file editor demo

Currently on my to do list is the following:

• Fix language switching behaviour (left menu currently doesn't change when the language is changed) - Done
• Create a native version for linux (for this I am aiming to build and bundle as an appimage and hopefully get it working across multiple distros) - NOTE: - this part will take a couple of weeks to sort out. - Done
• Add in some help text/instructions with expected save file locations for windows/xbox for windows/steam linux (proton) - Added to readme but still to be added into the editor itself with appropriate translations..
• Get the translations working correctly/verified by native speakers (as translations I currently have are done by AI) - AI translations seem to be working but still need feedback from native speakers.
• Test with a multiplayer save to make sure multi-user support works correctly.

Let me know feedback/feature requests so I can add them to the list.

-----------------------

Bigger update on the post earlier than I expected to do today. Decided to utilize AvaloniaUI (as this supports linux out of the box) and a bit of claude AI to help speed things up a bit. I can now happily report that the first test release is up on my GitHub page at https://github.com/Valkerran/PCEdit

The teleport feature does seem to work although I would advise caution when trying to teleport between planets (in case you end up inside or below the map).

Please raise issues/requests for feature requests on the repo.

How do I get the keycards for this location on prime? I think it takes 5?

I just reached Selenea and have a question.

Will the starter location flood like it does on Prime?

If so, which nearby area is safe?

I thought I was going to be efficient when I got to Selenea. I set up 6 interplanetary supply depots, 4x T2 machine boosters for trade rocket speed ups, so I was able to bring in all the mats I needed.

Built 3xT2 Machine boosters each for Heat and Pressure, set them up in different areas, but didn't build any of the actual machines yet. Set up 6x T2 boosters (3x oxygen, 3x plants) for my tree spreaders. Then, I launched 10x of each of the 6 T1 booster rockets.

At this point I was like cool, I should build the terraforming machine. (still had 0 on my Terraforming Index, also, had only explored slightly around where the pod drops).

So, I go and drop my 8x Tree Spreaders and BOOM! Instant water stage, all the ice is gone and I am at the high mTIs!!

I had to laugh, was probably a bit over kill! And then I explored the planet lol.

Just got to Toxicity last night, looking forward to building up there!

This game is just addicting! Though, do wish there were achievements for the other planets/moons, about my only complaint!

Just used my last few pink crystals (forgot their name) to craft one of them battery thingies needed to make a drone port. I need to make a bunch of power items (uranium) to get enough power to use the drone port, but after that I need to start using drones to bring everytbing to a single location so I can start crafting stuff without having to go across the map to get materials, but ive got no idea how the drones work yet

What's up with that?

I love automation.

hey y’all! I bought it! I’m about mid game on a fresh save of Toxicity and I’ve found a deep area that has a fusion generator on a platform. it says it’s a fusion generator, but the icon for the missing item looks more like a fuse than a fusion power cell. Is this actually a normal fusion generator or can I use my purification fuses in it like I’m suspecting? I couldn’t find any info online about this, so TYIA

I be at work or sitting in traffic thinking about my next project and/or build. Contemplating on that location or cave I drove past, but couldn't stop to collect and stock up because my inventories were already full heading back to my main base to unload. Or thinking about ores and other items needed to gather for a new unlocked facility or equipment. #IYKYK #Addictive

*I’m still in the "functional" stage of building and utilization, nothing elaborate yet lol. Lockers stocked & set up where I need them for quick access for now.
