Silus posted:I often have mid to early housing made out of Ebonstone bricks as I get tons of the stuff from blowing up corruption with bombs. Crimson is less handy that way. I think you can make Crimstone bricks now, but I'm not certain. I'd have to double-check on that. As an aside, apparently the sandstone blocks in the underground desert can't be used to make sandstone bricks. That's... kind of weird. Now that they added sandstone, you'd think that you could use them to make bricks in place of sand. Hopefully future updates flesh out the underground desert more. It seems like the one thing of interest there is the fossils. UPDATE: I guess there aren't any crimstone bricks. I could have sworn I saw them in the changelog...

You know what? Having all your NPCs actually joining you in fighting off an invasion is SO loving METAL.  Abandoned Toaster posted:Re: The Lava Charm chat from a couple pages ago I myself have never found one either. He can go straight to goddamn hell. I've probably sold off 30 or 40 Magic Mirrors  You guys think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not. Per the wiki the lava charm's supposed to be like 1/5 as common as other "rare" items but I've got dozens of magic mirrors and hermes boots and bands of regeneration. Dozens of EACH of those things. No lava charm. It's not THAT loving rare

Supremezero posted:Can you post a picture? Sounds interesting. Due to it being started on a dungeon that was already scraping the sky on a small world, it was difficult to get a picture where it wasn't completely invisible, but I managed through the use of a solar background.  Seen: about a thousand cart tracks (so, around 20 iron's worth), about 4 booster tracks which are nearly pointless, my ghetto pit stop home for dungeon diving before I put down a teleporter instead, and the bridge I used to fight the Moon lord before his tongue got a debuff added to it. It worked reasonably well for keeping me alive,but it was hard to damage him back because he wasn't even on screen for most of it.

I'm pretty sure the underground desert is mostly just normal mode content since it's much smaller than the underground snow and jungle, which both sort of have a premium on space for their halves of the map. It's definitely the best place to find an extractinator.

Do pirate invasions if you haven't, partly so you can see the new miniboss there but mostly because they drop another rare accessory that you can craft together with the lucky coin and credit card and magically transform into that one racist jew meme picture.

Zereth posted:Not even antlion mandibles? Pre-hardmode the enemies are all antlion varients and all drop mandibles. In hardmode you get all kinds of crazy new enemies. Basilisks, lamias, GIANT sandworms, spirits that shoot exploding spells. It looks like no other environment and it feels like braving it should have a big reward. But again, if you went there before hardmode you already have all the things you could possibly get out of it.

So if I'm reading this right, the practical purpose if the money tough is that it lets you just click it and use the floating summon, instead of taking the time to place down a piggy bank and valid surface for it, and then pick it up when you are done? That's... okay I guess? A pleasant time saver for the millionth time you have to stop and put down some platforms or a table to put down then pick up the piggy bank from. Hardly seems fair to give that such an infinitesimal drop chance. If it gives you access to both the piggy bank and the safe though, that would be bring it to "loving amazing" and I'd be less surprised by the 0.5% Normal, 1% Expert drops (Does it show I've never activated hard mode before if those drop chances seem low to me  )

It wouldn't be so bad if you could have more than one quest a day... I have a cell phone. Really it's not something you NEED, it's just nice if it happens. 90% of the info is useless clutter. A few pieces are extremely helpful such as the rare treasure sensor and the rare enemy sensor (helps mimic hunts and bound npc searchs a lot. AND the hunt for the nymph for her part) but I don't need my movement speed or to see my fishing level at all times. Or how many enemies are on screen. A tip: The radar shows up in chests and therefore is a crate drop. So if you're out fishing, chug a crate potion after getting the quest fish and then open the boxes later, it's easier than searching the world over for a chest. This was something I was doing anyway because the crates also have hardmode ores when in hardmore, including ones you didn't get this world.

Does the wiki lie about harpy/wyvern spawn height? My highest point in my base is 700' above surface and I'm getting spawns occasionally. Not a lot, but occasionally. Maybe it has something to do with a floating island being nearby. At the same height further away from it, I get no spawns. Xenaero fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Jul 5, 2015 |

So I assume if I've hit silt I dug too deep at the start of the game? I ran into a pack of antlion chargers, which I'd never seen before. They completely obliterated me cause there was no way my lovely copper sword was gonna do jack to them. I'm not sure what gear to be aiming for anymore. Right now I'm just trying to scrounge up enough tungsten for a set while looking for gold to complete a pickaxe. EDIT: Is tin ore even worth digging up? I keep mistaking it for iron and its annoying me. Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Jul 5, 2015 |

You can run it through an extractor to get gems and poo poo. If you ran into antlion chargers, you've gotten into the big antlion pit under the middle of the desert. Tin ore is maybe worth digging up. It makes some cool looking riveted metal plating if you like that sort of thing. Up to you. As to what gear to aim for, what gear do you have and what role are you wanting to play? (Fighter, Ranger, Mage, Summoner)

Figured you might have been an "all on my own" kinda guy. Alternatively, that you'd take a "legit" one, but not hack one. Here's hoping your next chest has one.

There is no such thing as digging "too deep" the antlions are from being the underground desert biome not because of depth, dig somewhere else. If you're not sure if somethings worth it or not just make it and try it out (but really iron/lead and gold/platinum are what you want, former's used in necessary items, latter is the high tier for tools before boss drop ores, and they both are always useful for ironskin and spelunker potions which you'll probably use for most of the game)
