Snow planets are officially my favorite solely due to the high visibility of surface ores. Also, beautiful crystal globe trees that shatter into useless ice blocks when chopped down. Which I can't help doing anyway because fuck beauty.
Also, the weapon rebalancing seems to have rendered everything you find in chests or carried by vendors hilariously useless. Funny enough, the most powerful one I've found is "Poopwhacker," the aptly named craphammer, which takes all day to kill a level 1 critter, versus several days for anything else. I'm keeping it.
Guide so far:
1: Kill trees, bury self.
2: Hit rocks, make tools, bed, etc.
3: Build fuckoff big underground farm. Make hamburgers or ethnic equivalent out of the flesh of all things that creepith upon Alpha Fuckandjive Minoris II a.
4: Scour surface and caves for basic crap, light every place, kill every mans. Make hamburgers, band aids.
5: Make insulating armor out of skins of every mans. Go to ice planet. Scour for easier to see everything. Smash pretty trees just cus.
6: Dig hellevator, get shinies from bottom of world. Ore spawning is fucked to your advantage. Go full Yukon Cornelius.
7: Build the distress beacon and everything else because fuck it, you've got way too much of everything all of a sudden. Why did you mine all those sewer pipes and shit? Like you're going to do something with those.
8: Build unnecessarily large space invaders arrow loop bunker, call penguin ship. Cheese to death with iron bow. Or don't bother because it's made of wet cardboard now.
9: ????
I'm actually kind of sad. Trying to bum rush the first boss with bullshit for kit made for a pretty epic fight a couple days ago.
Also, in praise of that ship mod, the very first thing I did was try to mine my ship. I've been waiting for a game that'd let me tinker and build my own Tardis or a Little Prince asteroid or giant cock with an outhouse on top or whatever to tour the universe. Here's hoping they get their heads out and just let this be a part of the thing.
