also if you guys have to dig then just hop over the walls before doing it, i dont want holes in my road even if it is just compressed dirt

hi

edit: forgot to mention that the big flat area you beam down to on the starter planet is for people to build in, hence why i dont want holes in it (unless it's a mine or there's a home on top of it)

Oh, a question worth asking while I can.
Does anyone know what sort of planet I can get wheat from, or even the co-ordinates of a planet that most definitely DOES have wheat on it?

I NEED to complete that Cake-making quest for the person on the outpost before I can get access to Penguin Bay and the next set of outpost quests.
And I have sugar, milk and eggs, but no wheat. And I've been to both two Lush and one Forest biome planets in my starter system, and found nothing.

All have had tomatos and coffee, and an unbelievable number of mushroom villages with sugarcane, but not a single stalk of wheat.
Stupid thing is, I know that the starting planet on DaSord's game has wheat, but I was too stupid to consider picking some up then.


And a further question, does anyone know how exactly the Apex Facility is supposed to work?
I used to find them in the old Stable, and they were just a bunch of rooms with jump challenges and these electric traps to make it harder for you to get around, with various chests with some loot in them. You could however break everything and steal the traps and just walk on through.
Now however, you can't build or remove anything (its the same way as it is on missions), and when I got into one there were two paths. One led me through a short bunch of jumping challenges and finally to a single chest with 1 sort-of alright Tier 1 gun, and a button that set of an alarm, but nothing else.
The other path led me through another short bunch of jumping challenges, but at the very end there was absolutely nothing. It just ended, and where there looked like there should have been a doorway, there was just dirt that I couldn't remove.
Thing is, at the beginning, there was a small room with two locked doors to it. It didn't seem to have any treasure in it though, so I don't know if it was purely decorative, or if it was supposed to open if I set off both alarms. The one alarm did nothing.
So, yeah, I don't know if there's some larger objective there, or if I'm just looking too much into it, and if there was a reason why one path had no loot and ended abruptly, or if the generation of it had just broken.

Edit: Don't worry about the wheat.
Just found an Avian Town/Market, and one of them sells wheat for 356 pixels a piece.

And in addition to that, there's a large Apex Village (first time I've seen one), followed by even more mushroom villages.

You should go to another gentle star and raid the lush planets. Lush planets tend to have lots of crops so they're your best bet. Good luck.

If you can't remove blocks in a place there's most likely somewhere a large weird-looking thing that you can turn off and it will also turn off area protect. For the apex facilities it's generally at the top. Apex towns also have it found on the rooftop of one of their buildings.

I think the jump challenges are mostly worthless, previously doing them would award you a tech but since there are now blank tech cards instead, tech being unlocked by ship level progressing, I guess it was just a oversight and the devs forgot to put anything in there instead (blank tech cards)

forget that penguin mech and everything it stands for.

Ahh, I see.
That's what the thing inside that locked door was.
But as far as I could tell, there was no way to unlock those doors. I assume the button at the end of one of the paths was supposed to go towards unlocking it, but I think it may have needed the button from the other path too. Except, there was no button, so I suppose I couldn't have opened it.

I did find one of those things on top of the Apex place, and I turned it off. I didn't realise it controlled whether you could break stuff or not.
I just thought when I could break stuff afterwards that the block only affected a certain area and I had gotten out of it, lol.
But yeah, I broke that machine and it gave me a Circuit Board.
Shame, because I wanted that giant thing for decoration.

Took me like 20 loving tries. From 20k pixels I got to like 100. At least it's not at the end of a long bloody dungeon like the Erchius Crystal is.
High-damage melee and high-damage range, a shield and the gnome gun or a high-rapid fire weapon is the only best combo you could get for that stuff. Everything else will likely end in failure.
Use the gnome gun / fast ranged weapon to destroy the rockets.
Use the shield to block the energy balls. Try to get perfect blocks because the shield will get destroyed quickly if you just put it up.
Use melee to attack the robot while it moves around and after the charge stun.
Use the ranged during the flamethrower phase, and as soon as you fall down in the arena.
Also recommend pulse jump to avoid it's charge and jump over it while it uses flamethrower.

Beyond decoration I kinda wanted that giant thing to actually protect my stuff as well :P.
Not like I play PvP / multiplayer, but still.

I would also like a way to pick up pixel containers. Particularly gnome village ones.
