Well apparently you can't repair picks anymore. Unless there's a way to do it I couldn't figure out. Damn thing disappeared after a few minutes. Wish I'd realized that before I wasted all that copper on it. Anyway, I've upgraded the matter manipulator now, and it's a bit faster, but still slower than is fun. I'm exploring a new planet now... Here's hoping I'll find something interesting.

I'm not terribly pleased with how they're making the game more linear, though. My favorite part is basically exploration, and now I have to do a lot more work before I can go exploring.
You use ore, not ingots.

Or it got removed. I haven't played the experimental.

What's a good healing item? I've burned through my stocks of bandages and red stim packs trying to get through that erchirus mine mission.

It got removed.  Pickaxes are now VERY fast, but very low durability and cannot be repaired.  They're a luxury item.  People kept complaining "why is my stone pickaxe better than my super space-age matter manipulator?" and now they're complaining that the space tech is better.  These people...

NINJA: For healing items, produce good food.  More complicated food heals better.

I was able to get through erchius mission by bringing a lot of bandages, using my bow and pollen pump to wreck the basic enemies from a distance, and using the living miners to deal with the three at the end. Avoid getting hit at all costs it the most I can say.

Is it possible to find an airless planet with a molten core? I've dug through 2 (found oceans of starship fuel btw) and fell into a bottomless void of death at the bottom of each.

Wait, do moons have erchius deposits in their cores?

apex tesla labs (finish both sides of the course and flick the switches to open the doors to the generators)
That's kind of infuriating; the performance hit from all the goddamn tesla spikes makes the courses completely unplayable on my laptop (at least in singleplayer).

Just found a "barren, lifeless world, perfect for large-scale construction." Does this mean no ore, dungeons, or anything?

I've heard multiple people ask this from different sources.  "Barren" is exactly how it sounds :P

Means no creatures, no water, no anything. Not my kinda place, honestly :P I like my ocean island huts.

Landed on an arid planet, found a glitch village. Ridiculously cheap tier 2 (randomly generated) weapons at the store, but ludicrously expensive produce. 8000+ (!) for one Dioda.

They've got to make up for the weapon prices somewhere.

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.
