SirSamVimes posted:It was my second or third Hardmode night. Maybe it's programmed to give you one early boss to gently caress you up? If so, that's the best thing. I haven't seen any of those messages yet, though random trash mobs keep dropping hardmode boss spawning items. I thought it was a glitch that I got a Mechanical Worm from a Hellbat, but then an Armored Skeleton dropped a Mechanical Skull.  So how do you get the mushroom NPC? I've seen comments about wandering around hardmode mushroom patches, but that's not doing anything...

Is there a way to advance time or anything? There's nothing worse than waiting ten minutes just to fight a boss at night. I'm literally just standing on the dungeon running back and forth waiting for skeletron.

Dizz posted:In a world with Copper, Lead, Tungsten, and Platinum, it seems like Iron, Silver, and Gold got replaced. Does this mean I can't build specific things like a Sawmill since it requires Iron? Those are alternative ores. They'll pretty much replace the old ores. They're slightly better than the old ores, but not much else to them. And some recipes are interchangeable. Like a recipe that requires iron bars, you can also use lead bars for. That's not the case for all recipes though. Eye of Cthulhu is pretty much the first boss you should take on. Not sure if the spiked balls will help much with that.

I have the same problem with this I have with Minecraft; I know that out there in the world there's so much crap to see and do, I just have trouble getting past the first steps where it seems all I'm doing is searching for Iron Ore. What should I be focussing on at the start?

I spent the evening in front of the dungeon with my Boomstick waiting for night to arrive so I could start my Skeletron fight. As soon as I click on Curse I see a message pop up informing me that a "Blood Moon is Rising" Fighting both Skeletron and a horde of bloodthirsty eyeball/zombies was the most  thing that's happened so far for me. I love my Boomstick, I love it so much.

What should I be focussing on at the start? At the start? Finding iron ore.  Okay seriously, you want to start digging around and finding caves. That's the same advice as in minecraft, but in Terraria it's even more important. You want iron (lead), silver (tungsten) and gold (platinum). Your first priority is always making better pickaxes, then weapons, then armour. You also want to keep an eye out for crystal hearts which you break open for a permanent health upgrade and gold chests which contain goodies such as boomerangs, double jumps, and more. You also want to harvest all the gems you see, as when you either get fifteen gems or one hook (rare drop from skeletons), you can make a grappling hook.

My #2 goal is to get the shittiest armor and a not-so-lovely weapon built. My #3 goal is to dive deep and get the parts for a grappling hook. Everything else from there is just freedom.

Also, make liberal use of the Wiki. Knowing how to summon Meteorites is pretty handy since iirc you either need a meteorite to make a demon-pick, or vice versa, and one of those two is the tier after gold, which you'll actually get to pretty quickly. Stone is always, always useful. I personally like the appearance of Gray Brick over normal stone, and the fact that we can now paint stuff means I can't wait to play some 1.2 oh boy oh man Stone doors? Gray Brick Doors?! Are they possible??

There's a cheesy tactic you can employ to skip some grind in hard mode: Camp the entrance of the dungeon with a decently damaging weapon and farm Ectoplasm. Once you've got a stack of 18 you can make a Spectre pick that will let you mine Chlorophyte

Tip in hard mode. Any time you see a lava pool, check it for souls of light/night. With the boosted drop rate, there will almost always be some and if you have a lava charm (or lava waders), it's an easy source.

Potential BFF posted:There's a cheesy tactic you can employ to skip some grind in hard mode: You could alternatively kill The Destroyer once and make a Drax out of the hallowed bars. That gives you enough pickaxe power to mine chlorophyte. The camping the dungeon entrance for ectoplasm is a good idea, so thanks.

...of SCIENCE! posted:Holy gently caress the Shift key is a godsend. Hold it down to carry a torch/glowstick depending on the environment, click near a block to place a torch, if your mouse is far away it automatically switches to the flare gun (if you have it). I'll also point out that hovering over a block will make the shift key switch you to the tool you need to remove that block. Doesn't switch to hammers for backwalls, sadly, but it's still great for reducing tedious switching to your pickaxe and back during construction work.

I think Red might have changed how the Hardmode biomes spread to exclude the jungle now? Seeing as how the hardmode underground jungle is a pretty difficult biome and the new hardmode boss requires the underground jungle to spawn.

Someone earlier said they had found one, but it was mostly buried. Not sure what I'm looking for, I thought there were sand bricks or something?

Also, hell yeah Flare Gun, I was shooting flares every which way before I realized it used ammo and not mana

Powercrazy posted:If your world doesn't have alternative ores, you don't miss anything. They are just reskins, same with crimson/corruption. The new staffs everyone's raving about apparently require tungsten or tin to make they don't work with the regular metals. The only alternative metal I got was lead  I did get the Crimson, though. The Brain of Chthulu was a pretty fun fight, I suppose.

Okay, there's definitely something off with how suitable NPC housing is determined now. I just went back to my old worlds and noticed an NPC moved, and the room they used to stay in was deemed unsuitable, despite nothing changing. So I put down a table and a chair, and added another torch, and it was still seen as unsuitable. Any idea what's changed?

Every basic metal in the game has a gem that corresponds to it for stave crafting. Copper - Amethyst Tin - Topaz Silver - Sapphire Tungsten - Emerald Gold - Ruby Platinum - Diamond

Chances are it's just a smidge too small, I'd wager, or it uses background walls that weren't player-placed. Try expanding it a little, putting down some wall if it's not already there? efb

Well, that's been 46 hours of thriller. So I've been fooling around in hard mode, trying to figure out what exactly unlocks Truffle when I get the message a blood moon is rising. Fair enough, I'm decked out in Hallowed gear, no problem. I just about immediately get swamped with werewolves, nothing an Excalibur can't handle. In fact, I still needed that Moon Charm so I was pretty psyched about this. I hacked the night away, only to be greeted by a solar eclipse. Not to be outdone by the werewolf, Frankenstein's monster, Dracula, the swamp monster and the friggin Grim Reaper also want a piece of me. Before I knew what I was dealing with they killed everyone on the ground floor of my base, and the grim reapers were about to finish the job on the upper floors if I hadn't bravely ran away. About a dozen deaths later, all thanks to Eyezor, I was finally ready for some reprieve when I was greeted with "It's going to be a horrible night..." and soon after the Twins decided to harass me some more. At this point the old hard mode bosses have become the least of my worries, though, and half a night and no casualties later they fall. Hard Mode sure doesn't gently caress around. My only regret is that I didn't think of having Thriller play in the background until after the fact.

Fish Noise posted:Any uncovered cracks in the background wall are now unacceptable, whereas before I swear you could get away with small open windows. You can't have a seam in the walls run longer then 4 tiles in 1 direction, I have a glass tile background that only works under specific conditions and I narrowed it down to this. So you can still do little holes, I just think he lowered the allowances.
