"Repair the ship"

[onewhofound]

No instructions, no arrow, nothing in the wiki. Why am I bothering with this garbage game?

No instructions

It's in your quest log.

no arrow

You need an arrow for everything?

nothing on the wiki.

Yes there is, if you look a little harder than by just searching "repair the ship".

Why am I bothering with this garbage game?

You asked for cheats before even playing past repairing your ship, and the game is garbage?

I really just posted that to see how many idiot children I could get to respond by telling me I was bad at games. Congrats on being the first rube.

[Mr.Rewe_04]

It is as simple as walking left :)

[DethShrimp]

Well, you sound kind of like a trash-can person, but stop being ♥♥♥♥ at the game, I guess.

The game is merely mediocre, its mostly the tutorial that is garbage.

Not wanting to procedurally push every single button and talk to every single person like this is 1990 does not make you bad at the game, kiddies, it just means the game needs to be less bad. Same for not wanting to spend hours of my life waiting for cobblestone to mine or something else ridiculous. Games that don't respect your time are garbage.

[Lykos]

Wow, someone who doesn't respect their own time, and others', by spending it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on a game for reasons that only they care about.

So, as soon as you are in orbit around the planet on your broken ship, your current objective will be to beam down to the planet to explore it.

You have to walk around while staying above ground until you find a strange platform and a terminal that will require some core fragments to activate. You will then pick up a new signal from someone telling you what your next objective is, which is to find 20 core fragments. (On a side note, a yellow cursor located on the top right corner of your screen should be pointing you in the direction for your next objective.)

Those core fragments can be found inside boxes or containers located in a mine below an NPC camp. The entrance to the mine should be reasonably obvious. The other method would be to dig deep enough until you are close to the planet's core. That is riskier and time-consuming.

Once you have enough core fragments, you can return to that platform by beaming up to your ship and then back to the planet, which can be done by clicking on your character's portrait in the top-left corner of your screen. That can only be done if you are playing in casual difficulty. Otherwise, you have to find a way back to the surface.

⚠ If you are still not satisfied with the game, you can still request a refund from Steam even after playing more than 1 hour as long as you give them a good reason, and as long as you did not ask for too many refunds in the past. I hope this helps.

Ok not bad, this is at least an answer to "A" question. Not the question I was asking but I'll take it. The part you describe is actually fairly well laid out, except for the part where it tells you not to venture into the mine until you are better-equipped.

The part I was having a problem with is after you turn the fragments in and teleport to the Ark and talk to Hesther. The step where you have to talk to your ship and have it fly to the Erchius base (despite the fact that it is still broken) is neither clear nor logical. I eventually figured it out, but if the player is supposed to figure out that his ship needs to fly someplace to get it fixed so it can fly it should be more clearly laid out.

you better not ever try the FU mod lol, it would just be too much reading for you not enough quest arrows, just advice.. an insult would be better met in person and steam comments is hardly the place to start acting aggressive (you mentioned wanting to crap talk idiots who commented on your post), i mean c'mon dude just google it or use youtube why gripe about the fact the game is too hard for you to figure out in the first 45 mins haha. maybe its more in depth than you presumed and will require some work? it took me quite a while to get off the planet at first and i figured it out piece be piece and yes by actually reading the tutorials and books i found, but i understand if that doesnt fit your play style and if so there are tons of mods available for your use, check the steam workshop its free and easy to use!

Well, you baited for people to be ♥♥♥♥♥ to you and you got it.
Other people play games like Starbound as a hobby.
Whatever floats your boat to have fun I guess.

Pardon but you seem terribly confused about words and their meaning, as well as gamer culture in general. The kiddies in gamer slang are the young kids who like you seem to here, need their hand held for every little thing.

This game is a minecraft type game at its core, that means a resource harvest, craft up teirs of tech to empower yourself, They very much are meant to be mainly casual time sink games. If you are looking for a pure action experience I suspect this game is just not for you, especially because you seem to have a real issue with using critical thinking skills.

And this right here kind of proves my point. Your ship isnt flying anywhere, that is just the mission interface that teleports you directly to mission instances, because if you are playing online with others, you wouldnt want others just jumping into your mission. So they are private instances that you need to use the mission interface on your Ship. The fact you are even thinking your ship flew kind of spells out your real issue here, and its one behind the keyboard and is not one you are going to like to have to accept, but is the real truth.

So kiddo, stick to FPS games with god mode turned on, I suspect that is about the depth of your game.

All this effort just to avoid admitting the devs made a bad decision when they designed that part of the game. I guess they should be honored that people like the rest of the game enough to defend the parts of it that are objectively bad.

[Bullet]

The campaign is bad, but I have a lot of fun just messing around and building things in admin mode. Go ahead, tell me to kill myself or whatever for playing the game differently or liking it at all.
