Lakitu7 posted:How does it work? What are those reddish blocks that appear to be the "trap" part? Does all the loot burn up? The reddish block are iridescent bricks, but you can use pretty much whatever. The trap works by monsters trying to jump to the doors above to get to you, and then falling into the pits, because the entrance is too high up to reach. There is a thin layer of lava on the bottom of those pits that does full damage to mobs, but does not destroy the loot. You simply stand next to the windows, watch the monsters burn and get the loot at the same time.

Came back to the game after a long hiatus, decided my first run would be with a hardcore character. To summarize my story, gently caress explosive traps forever I mean goddamnit really how was I supposed to see that  For posterity, whether my next character is softcore or not -- how do I avoid those or at least know if I accidentally set one off?

Mine out a trap part like a pressure plate or dart shooter and keep it in your active slot as you explore. Makes the wires visible.

I find the mediumcore option is best for me. It adds danger and a while it's not hardcore, it adds a quite reasonable chance to lose all your poo poo if you die in a terrible place and can't get your primary gear back. The most hideous corpse runs to get my stuff back have been some of the most fun times I've had with Terraria though.

So your mechanic is fine, but if the tinker got smoked while still tied up, you'll have to find him again.

There was one enemy mob you had to watch out for pre-patch but I think it's been nerfed now. I do recommend floating your base, just don't float it too high, as there's an enemy that spawns at high altitudes that will brutally murder you and your NPCs.

So here's a random question from a relative newbie: how the gently caress do I get back down to the underworld quickly? I mean, I could dig straight down for ages, but I feel like there has to be some sort of teleportation that I'm missing.

Honesty, digging all the way down isn't so bad. Caves tend to be bigger closer to the bottom and with the better picks it's not too slow. A Hellevator is a worthwhile investment, I'd day.

There are teleporter pads but you need to wire them up which is expensive and time consuming. Just build a hellavator once (tunnel straight down for about 15 minutes) and call it a day. I always start off my worlds building a basic shelter then a hellavator from which I branch out into natural caverns and other biomes. edit: beaten

I mean, I could dig straight down for ages, but I feel like there has to be some sort of teleportation that I'm missing. If you have a friend, it's really easy to build a tunnel to hell. Both of you stand in the same hole; one targets the tile on the left, the other targets the tile on the right. Now hold LMB for about two minutes. Make sure to leave a pool of water near the end to break your fall, bring gills potions if you want to save some trouble because you will inevitably end up with a small lake's worth of water seeping into your tunnel. If you're alone, it's kind of a pain because you have to move your mouse around a lot.

So I bought this at release but never really played it, playing it for the first time now and that captnduck video seems outdated on several things... how do I make a back wall for my house? And I made a 3 space high gap and it won't let me place wood. I also seem to only be able to wave torches around, not place them. I suck at this game.

It's all tile-based. If you've played Minecraft, block and item placement rules are almost exactly the same, just in 2D. Your cursor needs to be adjacent to a block to place anything down. If there's a wall behind you, you can stick torches and platforms and some items to it, but otherwise you need to work outward fro ma starting point. This includes walls, which need to start from an extant wall section or an emplaced block. e: Much later you will be able to buy an accessory, the Ruler, that overlays a grid onto your view to aid with block placement, but by then you may no longer need it. You may, however, find it rewarding to sign your character into a multiplayer world with a Goblin Tinker, buy a Ruler or have it gifted to you, and return to your single-player world with it. e2: You may also be trying to place things too far from your character. You can only reach about five or six blocks from your dude's sprite. Dareon fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Oct 5, 2013 |

I built a snowy castle but hardmode possessed armours and zombies keep spawning on top of my battlement wall, which has a door leading into my base. Is there a way to prevent zombies from spawning on top of my castle walls? There's not much point to the walls other to keep zombies out after all.

And I made a 3 space high gap and it won't let me place wood. I also seem to only be able to wave torches around, not place them. First off, make a crafting bench with some wood, and place it down inside your hovel. After that, you can now craft 'wall' items out of stone, wood or dirt. These items will create your back wall. You start placing your walls on your outer layer of blocks, your 'solid wall' portion. Torches can be placed on the backwalls and on the sides of the blocks themselves. You'll see the torch icon near your cursor once you can set it. To make it so people can move in, you have to use the crafting bench and wood to make a table (Work tables are fine, too), a chair, a couple torches for light and a door. Once you get a 3-space high gap, you can place a door by placing it on the ground in the gap. Make sure the space you have the 'room' in is at about seven blocks high or more. It gets easier once you get the basics down, and the guide and the wiki can help you out a lot starting off. Just keep at it, and you'll do fine.

Jesus christ on a moped, mythical magnet sphere is just pure loving poetry in motion. It's art. I went from adamantium and an excalibur to spectre and magnet sphere and oh god it feels so good to go through that dungeon now. No more hiding from anything, no more praying I can mirror out before a paladin kills me, just murder. Nothing but murder. I will weep when it gets nerfed.

Someone speculated that it might be somehow related to the steampunker during a solar eclipse, but we havent been able to try anything yet There's a special server up where the spawn rate is turned up to the highest possible amount of enemies on the screen as possible, and its insane. Trying to survive the hardmode dungeon by yourself without spectre set and a decent magic item/vampire knives is impossible, and even then you're probably going to get your poo poo wrecked

Yeah, I was trying to make walls with the wood wall not realizing that was actually a BACK wall. Made some progress so far, have a little shack that my Guide lives in, built a small mining shack nearby where I found a copper vein, explored a little and found a huge jungle pit off to the left which I didn't explore yet, to the right is a huge fuckoff mountain with a cave system in it that I've poked around in... got far enough down that now the back wall is rock and I can't stick torches in there, plus there were a shitload of red slimes in this pit below so I didn't go any farther. Just made a copper sword and chest piece, also have a rope coil and wish I had more rope in general but sadly all there was was in a little pot I found by the jungle. Having fun so far. gently caress huge zombie hordes, though. I'll stop cluttering the thread with my lovely newbie first run log.

Some of the best bits of this game are exploration and discovery, keep posting! Also you'll find plenty more rope, smash more pots in caves just a little under the surface. How hard is it to find/rare are pyramids? I've only seen one in a server and it was picked clean long before I go there. I keep making lots of different sized worlds looking for them but nada. Are they not visible from the surface, do you have to dig them out?

Very rare, sometimes you can spot sandstone accessways in the desert, covered with sand, leading down, but those aren't proper pyramids. I'd recommend trying to look for them on a medium map.
