Starbound 1.0 Beginner Tips - Part 1

[@nwoIc]

'Inside peoples homes, which I like to rob frequently...' subbed

[@Firespark81]

+Lance Salvador Thanks for the sub welcome to the community! :)

[@chrsuppe]

I would heavily recommend doing deep underground on the moons and get the liquid pools of fuel. Just keep going under there until the purple thing gets close enough then beam up to the ship before it gets you. You can then repeat the process over and over. The purple thing will go back to being slow on each revisit.

[@ShadowWolfTJC]

I see that that "broken feature" where you can cheaply use flags as long-distance teleport markers instead of actual teleporters is still present. Anyways, I have an additional tip: play the game zoomed as far out as possible. Enemies with ranged attacks, including quite a few bosses, have a long sight range, so they can shoot at you from well off-screen if you're playing on close-up zoom levels.

[@expensivemagic4754]

!Thank you so much

[@jamesh7876]

Hey, if you’re still around, any new Tips? I just got this game on sale couple days ago and cannot find many new videos.

[@ShadowWolfTJC]

@@jamesh7876 Tips for what specifically? As for not being able to find new videos, it's probably because the game hasn't had a major content-adding update since the Bounty Hunting update had come by over half a decade ago (not that that should detract from enjoying the game yourself, like with far older classics like Doom, Starcraft, Master of Orion, Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Minecraft, or Terraria to name a few). I'd imagine that some of the tips found in the older videos about Starbound would still be relevant today.

[@jacobbrooks7912]

Got back into this game recently after playing beta a couple years back, this helps a lot!

[@snailballz]

I just started the game today and im pretty good (not realy) and this helps me alot

[@Firespark81]

Glad the videos help! I have a whole playlist of Starbound videos you should check it out.

[@earlborinaga9008]

Thank you so much for these tips, I've got about 20 hours in this game and I had no idea that you could remove the background blocks, wish I'd seen this video sooner

[@Firespark81]

+Earl Borinaga Glad I could be of help :)

[@Alejandro-et4pf]

thanks man i love your channel! i started the game a few days ago and this just helps a lot getting started!

[@danieldemayo6209]

Wow you and this game are blowing my mind lol I had no idea you could take out blocks in the background! I passed up so many things I didn't even know I could grab haha

[@flameingdaethfearies]

I just picked this game up and this guide helped immensely! Thanks.

[@Firespark81]

+Flameing Daeth Fearies that's great to hear. Glad I could help.

[@megablademe4930]

8 hours in Starbound,one NON-STOP session,bought the same day.Such a good game

[@RadialPilot]

Nice vid man. I new about most of the things you were talking about, but I wanted to see if I could learn anything new. Lo and behold you said you could kill the the ghost on the moon. I didn't think you could kill them. 10/10 would watch again :D

[@nickc8863]

such a good game.. its only gotten better over the last 4 years.. im having so much fun exploring the seriously HUGE universe!

[@lkjhlkhj]

Thank you. I couldn't figure out what to do after i got to the outpost. i didnt realize i could keep running

[@Firespark81]

+lkjhlkhj glad I could help. If you haven't already be sure to subscribe I'll have more videos of starbound soon.

[@joshuahale4108]

I found that the starter planets all have a mine you can come across its on every starter planet every time I have played that has the 20 shards but I would recommend digging deep and farming gathering as much as you can that's available doing so on every planet you go to with new materials it will save time in the long run.

[@jimbo200918]

Thanks for the refresher. Desperately needed it.

[@donaldkhogan]

Great video dude, this was super helpful.

[@Firespark81]

+Don Hogan thank you glad I could help out :)

[@adrianalvarez8163]

great job explaining everything man, really help. Thanks

[@Firespark81]

Thanks! Glad I could help. :)

[@theodore_ivan]

if you,ve deleted the bookmark for the outpost you can revisit the outpost by activating the gate in any lush planet

[@joshuaruston7998]

I couldn't do like anything until I watched this, thank you xd

[@LukaLolly]

You can also go to a moon and just dig down, after a while, you start to see erchius fuel in liquid form. You can just mine tons and tons of it and you have yourself fuel!

[@Firespark81]

+Luka Langezaal oh cool did not know that. Thanks for the tip. However that sounds super scary lol.

[@Tchown22]

I also did not know about the liquid fuel way deep down in the moons! Thanks for that! :)

[@Tchown22]

I just recently started the game, and I was wondering if you should keep your main planet (starter planet) that you start on, or could you make bases/houses on different planets? Also... You should bookmark your starting planet, because once you venture off into different galaxies, it might be very hard to find your starting planet again.

[@prodTyeDye]

If you make a teleporter or use a flag you can always get back to the starter planet just not the solar system. If you bookmark it you will always know the coordinates of the system, and can take you ship back. Generally making a base on the starter planet is not a bad idea because the mobs there are not too bad and can be dealt with relatively easily. So making a temporary base for storage and a home other than the ship is not a bad idea. Remember you can always move when you find a nice place to build and have enough resources to do so.

[@Soulinfidiviflower9]

0:16 AAAAAA HE SO CUTE AAAAA

[@Shyyshepherd]

thank you for the video! Was very helpful

[@JurcoProduction]

Thanks for the vid, keep it up!

[@Enochphilw]

Great intro series thanks

[@DarkKingBowser]

This video was extremely helpful. Now I know the basics of the game, wish the game would better explain the features though 😐

[@mygaffer]

These kinds of games almost expect you to use the wiki. Definitely check the wiki, it is essentially a manual.

[@Firespark81]

+Amir yup I do all the time and find that a ton of info is inaccurate. Problem is game has been in development for so long it's gonna take a while for the wiki to get fully updated. But yes even though that is the case I totally agree. Wiki is super handy.

[@IronDizaster]

Can you please answer me: How do you change so you place 1 block instead of 4?

[@Firespark81]

+Iron Dizaster Hold shift. In the future just to help you out if you are not sure what key to kit for something always check out a games options menu and look at the controls. Hope this helps gl

[@IronDizaster]

Thank you so much!! and thanks alot for the fast reply too. I checked the controls but i couldnt find it but thank you!

[@danieldemayo6209]

So it's round....and flat....omg my brain! Lol didn't know that....thx so much love this game so far!

[@Ryan-ec1tq]

Daniel DeMayo Our planet appears flat to us because it's so big that a takes a while to see the curve. That's why people used to think Earth was flat...

[@sk8ingthemystery]

Great vid man

[@Debyton1]

No man's sky, side scrolling edition.

[@MoonLiteNite]

guess the flags have been nerfed? You have to use a teleporter thing now?

[@swaglordnito8099]

There are also crystal biomes that have fuel.

[@TheGamerAffiliate]

I just started playing. What are the things on the wall called where you stack your Crates and Boxes? I am curious so I can learn how to craft them. =

[@Firespark81]

+TheGamingAffiliate platforms? Not 100% sure what your talking about.

[@TheGamerAffiliate]

Haha I actually found it in Game today. @6:59 You have your Chest and Crates on what looks like a Shelf. I just didn't know how to craft the Shelf but now I do. Now I have more Free Room on my ship. Good video. Left thumbs up. Thanks!

[@Firespark81]

+TheGamingAffiliate thanks!

[@mogadeet6857]

Lel. I will come back when I can work out how to get good enough to beat Erchius... Thanks!

[@DaniPaunov]

Not even the core can kill the ghosts now?

[@0neChubbyBunny]

So is the ghost gone now? From how you talked I could only infer that he comes back

[@Firespark81]

+0neChubbyBunny ghost is not gone and the tip on him in this video has been patched out. You can not harm it.the trick is to mine what you need then go back to ship drop off fuel. When you come back it will be gone till you mine fuel again. Or you can watch my latest video that shows how to get infinite fuel.

[@SirBroadsword]

ChubbyBunny, what you should do is get the ability to mine liquid upgraded on your matter manipulator, dig down into a moon until you find a big reservoir of liquid erchius fuel (since the ghost will not start chasing you until you have at least one liquid fuel or crystal on you), and then suck it all up. It's easy to gather 500+ fuel in less than a minute if you do that.

[@SleebyRise]

"Health drained" that's fuel. Your health isn't draining a bit

[@Firespark81]

I'm confused by this comment.

[@tantikon000]

"health drain" will start when you get contact with the ghost but you can see a little purple swirl came out from you. that simulate like a life were suck out of you

[@diiima5]

I stuck on the 3th main quest "scan objects to find floran clues" where i can find thos

[@Firespark81]

+Dimitri L I'm on that quest as well once I figure it out I'll do a video. In the meantime just enjoy everything else there is to do in that game. It's amazing.

[@diiima5]

thans sir would be awesome

[@pagatryx5451]

Its easy. You have too find floran structures and look around with your scanner, the scanner will highlight objects in diffrent colours. Brown-Already Scanned, Blue-Not Scanned and Green-Not Scanned+For quest. So you just have too find floran stuff and scan them. It can take a while and dont expect too finish it after one colony. Just explore some jungle planets and scan as you go.

[@Firespark81]

Cool! Thanks for this helpful info!

[@diiima5]

yeah i already done with it you just need fly around the galexy and looking for forest bioms

[@Voidlord1]

on what zoom level do you play, at what resolution?

[@Firespark81]

+Voidlord1 zoom 3 and resolution is a 1080p ratio not sure exactly what it is atm. I'd have to look. But all my videos/games are at some aspect of 1080p.

[@the_lolwut]

The best starting tip is to get a gun at the start

[@Loulabelle100]

How do you upgrade your ship?

[@Firespark81]

+Mariosam100 you have to get crew members by doing quests or yoh can buy the upgrades from a guy at the outpost. You can also hire penguins. I plan on doing a video for this at some point.

[@ognjenmaric5155]

I cant found where to craft pickaxe pls help.

[@Firespark81]

+Creeper Serbia You can't craft them.

[@ognjenmaric5155]

Ohhhhhhhh , ik i can in beta ... Thak you :)

[@Firespark81]

Yup they removed it. you have to buy them now.

[@Rumpert]

When next tips bro ; ) its grate ?

[@Firespark81]

+Rumpert shooting for a money tips video at some point today if all goes as planned.

[@TheOsiasya]

Oh my god I've been wasting SO MUCH FUEL going from my home to new planets (500 units a trip!) I need to make those flags ASAP

[@Firespark81]

Yup flags are super helpful. Also try to get engineers on your crew. They will reduce the cost of flight.

[@VenomFNyt]

Plz anwer! What mic do u use

[@Firespark81]

+VenomSn4ke blue snowball but I wanna upgrade to yeti asap

[@VenomFNyt]

FireSpark81 no need it sound amazing what settings do you use?

[@Firespark81]

+VenomSn4ke Well thanks. I have a rather complicated setup using voicemeeter and audacity. But trust, if you think it sounds good now wait till the yeti.

[@VenomFNyt]

FireSpark81 honestly, it sounds extremely good, very clear, and I've heard the yeti and this sounds way better than it's raw audio. It sounds perfect

[@diegomarxweiller1814]

well you know.. i was expecting tips like... how in the hell i do not starve to death? ;-;

[@Firespark81]

Grow food and eat it lol

[@renaren7106]

I'm so young I think Call of Duty fans should get a life.

[@Firespark81]

+Renaren The Real lol

[@renaren7106]

Welp. I'm dumb. I made another comment.

[@renaren7106]

Are you sure you're not the 81st one?

[@Firespark81]

+Renaren The Real nope I'm the first one, the one the only. That number just has significant meaning.

[@renaren7106]

oh, okay

[@Firespark81]

+Renaren The Real I'll have you know when I started using the name firespark way back in the day, like way back, probably before you were born it was never taken no matter where I used it. Now it's taken all the time. :(

[@renaren7106]

How long is back in the day?

[@Firespark81]

+Renaren The Real I'm so old I can't remember lol

[@Awaseme]

I disliked this video for the dubstep intro but the rest is nice good job :D

[@Firespark81]

Did you watch the whole video?

[@Awaseme]

dont worry you got the minutes ^^ keep up the good work

[@Firespark81]

+Awaseme lol thanks

[@ssethi3904]

...would be nice to turn that dislike into a like considering the amount of time it takes to create such content.
