Hi all, this place seems so quiet that I don't know if anyone will see this, but I just made my way to this subreddit after following various subs for video games I've played. I was particularly curious about this one because it seemed nobody knew about it, and it was kind of... broken? But in a charming way? Now, I find this sub and quickly figure out the devs of this game also developed My Time at Portia, which is one of my favorite video games that I just got into over the last couple years. Not only am I so proud of this dev team, I also think it's hilarious that I was playing PE in late middle/early high school? and now I'm waiting for the My Time at Sandrock release as a senior in college, all that time without knowing the connection.

Anyways, sorry for the long winded ramble. All that to say, I'm super happy that I found this community. Are any of you still playing PE? I know I'm not, lmao, but technology has changed and I'm thinking my new PC could actually run the game quite well. I'll probably spend 20 minutes fiddling around just like every other playthrough. :)

I want to use the default 6-wheel ATV looking vehicle the game has, but it uses aluminum which I dont have. Ive got everything else, but would like to replace the aluminum with something I do have like iron/steel. Is there anyway to do that without just deleting and replacing every voxel?

Ive got a rifle on me and my follower, and setup an arena around the thing with 4 turrets and i still cant make a dent in this things hit points.

I need it for a quest, any suggestions?

With the steam patch here

I run a public one for 3 weeks (8km² coop adventure), server doesn't crash once (client do sometime)

There is an issue with the ISO uploading that requierd a steam console command to be entered though.

​

this game was so close to perfection :(

Planet Explorers works on unity engine witch on some games it haves the stutter problem so the proper way to fix this is to set the refresh rate of the monitor from 60Hz to 50Hz if it supports and activate vsync or ond limit the fps to 50 also it needs more testing

Just curious if anyone is still working on the source code or if the community has given up on it?

I'm not really imagining anyone's got it working yet, seeing how incomplete it is but I was kinda hoping to see some work being done... but as far as I can tell with my limited GitHub-fu it seems that no one can get ahold of Pathea for confirmations, info, clarifications, or even which libs and plugins where/are used.

So, really, I guess my question is, is the source code a dead end?

I haven't seen anything about this here yet so I figured I would post about it, I might have missed it but everything is archived anyways so here goes.

PE has been open sourced over on [github](https://github.com/patheagames2019/planetexplorers) and I've been streaming me working on it the last few days on my twitch channel [here](https://www.twitch.tv/jerkfacejeremy)

My first goal is to get the game running, then after that I want to fix some bugs and issues I've found while playing it and finally I want to get multiplayer working again. I stream Tuesday - Thursday right now starting anytime after 11:00 AM and going on until 5:00 PM PST.

My fork of the source can be found [here](https://github.com/JeremyARussell/planetexplorers) if anyone wants to check out my progress so far or keep track of said progress.

Why did the go and close down the lobby = the only way to play multiplayer even via LAN. I know the game is older but it's so cool. I got the game and then 24 hours later they seem to have closed down the servers indefinitely. The lobby was a bad idea, if they always had the intention of closing it and locking everyone out of multiplayer. The game is still advertised as multiplayer. I know they are still making money off the sales. Why do a stupid move like that! Not cool!

I know as per stats Gold and above pickaxe/axe/shovel are supposed to be upgrades but they're so slow it feels like I'm back to the copper tier. DPS-wise, so to speak, are Gold and above really better tools??

Hi guys, i am having some very bad fps issues with this game. My specs are: Intel i5 4460 3.20Ghz quadcore R9 380X 4gb vram gpu 8gb of ram The game was running quite badly, good settings at around 20-30fps, then i updated my drivers yesterday, and the performance jumped to 50-60fps. Now, its even worse than before updating the drivers. I get around 10-20fps with lowest settings now. I dont expect anyone to reply since this game is dead pretty much, but thanks regardless.

I'm referring to the mission to build a monorail between mine and the Martian colonies. I built near a lake but wish to move the location before putting all that work into the rail system.

Any advice would be welcome.

so with the last update and news peice from back in may. i was starting to wonder if the game has been abandoned. after doing 30 seconds of digging i found that the developers has and is working on a new game titled "My Time At Portia"

http://store.steampowered.com/app/666140/My_Time_At_Portia/

apparently it has all the systems from planet explorers (minus the sci-fi aspect) and have implemented it there.. gathering, mining, crafting, exploring etc etc.

does this confirm if the game has officially stopped.. just curious why we haven't heard any news or info on PE.

Sure hope someone still visits here... I am so short of those resources that it's ridiculous. You can't scan for them, of course. I haven't had trouble farming up limestone because the red "dirt" on top of the mountains are limestone, but I have hardly any marble or stone, mostly because once you get under the top layer it's just dirt, dirt, dirt. Can anyone give me some tips on getting stone and marble?

The music was fantastic. Like, it had the same effect as the first time I loaded Civilization 6 and Sogno di Valore played. I wish it was longer, the end part kinda of went meh, but it still won me over.

By meh, it seems like they ran out of ideas for it so they just added a descending end and closed it off.

I played a long time ago, back in alpha.

Now my family has been LANing Minecraft, and while I gave that a great-many hours of my life, the core game loop is not very deep.

Now that PE has hit 1.0+ do you feel the game has much depth?

If I wanted to play Multiplayer with my family, what would be some of the first, major, steps we would take in the game?

Bought this when it first came to greenlight. Just saw it was released last fall and thought I might give it another chance. This sub being barren for 3 moths or so makes me think it died.

Hi guys, I supported Planet Explorers via Kickstarter and I'm looking forward to the CE boxed version :-) However if you are interested in gameplay videos of the game, look at my Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD3nS9Gq_E1uTYN9Fkj9uHOFkkz2BmFnn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toVeUBvJR7U

Lots of downsides (and ofcourse also upsides) with new armors etc, which one do you use? Thinking of just using whatever looks the best.

The title says it all :)

It's kind of disappointing how small the community for this game is. This game is pretty awesome IMO.

So I am really enjoying this game which I bought over the winter holidays. I have found in the species wiki I have a lot of creatures with no text. Do I need to harvest more of the species to open the text? Or is it just not there. The wikis are absolutely worthless, which is another really bad sign. I am believing it is the latter as I also am finding it rife with basic spelling errors. If it is just the game, 'as is' then that is a real shame and doesn't bode well for the developer's 'next game' which is being hyped on the planet explorers steam page and will surely lack polish as well. For me, it is excellent games like this that highlight the foibles of an indie developer. Once the game had been dropped from their mind (usually a 1.0 release), unpolished and unfinished, they abandon it and I rarely purchase any product they create again, knowing it will be a good concept that they will not follow through on. Again, this is all very unfortunate as the potential is real with this title.

Any tips to finding titanium? We have been looking all over, running and scanning and can't find any. Is it more common in certain biomes?
