So, I created a new character due to the latest patch, and walked my entire starting world without ever seeing another soul. There was, however, an outhouse with a sewer attached, that held untold legions of poo-men, mechanical spiders, and flies.
I found one of them once... You have to wonder how long that outhouse has been there to build up so much sewage.
Anyway did you find any other Glitch structures? Mine had a few empty houses that seemed kind of glitchy.

No other structures of any kind. I did, however, find a huge tar pit full of iron, with pockets of platinum and diamonds. Just finally got enough copper to make the first breastplate, too.

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

I ran into a Kleux cult house on my starting planet, was fun to kick their two butts. The nearest star has a planet with an Avian outcast society and there's a Kleux temple on one of the moons. I like that, it's almost as if they're keeping an eye on the outcasts to make sure they don't rise up.

It's a shame the town's ambivalent about Floran, they're fun to live with.

So the Glitch tried to teach the Florans to read and write, and mathematics, by way of them being the only inedible sentients mostly immune to swords and spears. And it culminated by a ban on writing for all Florans by some sort of unofficial leader, because one Floran wrote a pretentious book called Floran Peace that bombed everywhere, and the floran than tracked down his glitch teacher and crammed a copy of the book into their mouth and stormed off saying something about eventually returning.

I'm assuming this is some sort of reference. Otherwise banning writing for an entire species because one floran threw a hissyfit is a bit overkill.

Was an Avian involed at any point? If so I think he got eaten...
I'm pretty sure I've collected a few volumes of that lore series, but still looking for more.

Well... my glitch character identifies some wall hangings as primitive early Floran symbols most closely resembling an Avian word or something.

Is that seriously an asteroid? I need to go to space some time...

Interesting which things the game keeps realistic and which ones are totally ridiculous, even given the setting. I mean, why does the temperature underground change at night? Colder in winter and warmer in summer would make sense, but how does the sun rising and setting affect underground temperature, and instantly, at that? Yes, it's cold in space, but you can keep warm with campfires - how can fires keep burning without oxygen? You can freeze in space, but even humans and Apex don't suffocate...

There're various space suit models, so I guess in later stages of beta they may plan to implement a spacesuit mechanic.

So I got to sector X. Seeing difficulty 5-10 planets in a big mix makes me nostalgic for last week before the Great Difficulty Level Smoosh. Getting hit for 10X my max health makes me less nostalgic for the same era. There's lots of plutonium, though! And everything else except iron it seems.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

So I was thinking I really want to play multiplayer, but it doesn't sound like it's working too well just now. It is best to just stick with single player and take lots of screenshots to share my work, and wait until they improve the multiplayer functionality?

Yes. Go high enough and you find asteroids.

It strains suspension of disbelief, even for an anachronistic space game. You should probably raise the underground point on their various forums as it's good. However, I suspect they don't even have systems in place to detect when you're "underground" versus "on the surface," as a character. Might take a little extra work.
