You aren't alone. I've tried to use an inventory editor to give myself the Last Prism (I'm sorry but the Moon Lord is too much of an rear end in a top hat for me to handle) and every time I leave it in a chest, leave the world, and come back, it's gone. This has happened several times.

I've got a spare one. It's got crap stats though, you'll need to reforge it.

This was actually stuff I had gotten legitimately, I've never used an inventory editor or anything.

Did you use the autosort button? I was loosing stuff as well, till I realised it was sorting items into nearby chests as well, as long as there was one of the item in there already.

Not intentionally, and I did check in nearby chests.

I've had stuff disappear off the ground before but not out of chests that I've noticed.

what's the best mechanical boss to first fight against on Expert? I'm currently about to make mythril tier armor and was originally planning on going the magic route but was able to finish up a yo-yo bag and might just go melee. I have a railway across my entire map so I can kite pretty easily; haven't built a proper arena yet

I appreciate the attempt to help but I mean like a 2-d example because I'm absolute poo poo at building. I mean, I'm so bad that I can't take that picture and turn it into a base by looking at it bad. :downs:

Played some more today with my brother. Right when I started to build more of my base, it started raining slimes. Annoying, weird, but not really a big deal...until king slime fell out of the sky which I was not expecting. My brother went crazy because he didn't even know bosses were in the game. He also got squashed into a fine paste because his gear is still garbage, which is fine by me since it meant I got first dibs on the loot. Super excited to get the slime hook since I thought I would have to wait all the way until the jungle to get a triple hook.

On base chat; you guys who say you're terrible at building pretty bases? I want one of you to take that theme and run with it. Make your base a hideous, ugly pile of junk. All sorts of blocks mashed together into massive heaps. Literal trash prisons the NPCs are forced to live inside. Decorations clashing together in hideous and nonsensical ways. Make a base so hideous that it wraps around into being beautiful.

I've had stuff vanish using the "Deposit All" button. It acts like it's being deposited into slots that aren't there and it's gone forever.

This is what me and my friend are doing on the world we play together on. Just building rooms randomly connected together however out of whatever. I just recently learned that you can turn platforms into stairs so I don't have to build a screwy network of block stairs and underground tunnels to make every room accessible anymore.

I spent a lot of time on my friends' and my 1.3 world building an actual little village for our NPCs to live in instead of just a lovely series of tiny boxes in a prison tower. Then we lost every NPC to eclipses/blood moons/martian madness a couple times because someone would be AFK in the spawn so stuff would spawn around them and I ended up roofing/walling the entire village up because it was a huge pain in the rear end to have to wait for the arms dealer to come back to buy ammo.

I'm convinced I'm somehow triggering an anti-cheating program or something. I just had my moon lord prism summoning staff disappear less then a minute after starting the game and doing nothing but rearranging my accessory slots. I was able to get it back by alt-f4ing since I actually noticed it happen this time.

You could just do that in a pre-hardmode dungeon. The flying skulls are way drat more common than the enchanted weapons.

I cheat out my rear end. After farming up some rainbow dye I now have 99 of every common dye and I routinely give myself 999 torches because going back to the surface for wood is for chumps and have yet to have it affect that. I think the game just shits its self sometimes.

What are people finding compliments summoning builds well? I imagine most people are using magic to give them an active ranged attack that doesn't rely on specialized gear to keep your ammo/projectiles in stock. I've been messing around with some melee options as my multiplayer group approaches the end of normal mode.

Also, gently caress the 10min timer on the Bewitching Table. I've taken to just carrying one around with me to plop down and pick up since the buff timer is so short.

The jungle yoyo is absolutely worth crafting, unless your traveling merchant had a Code 1 in stock early on. Surviving the jungle long enough to get the materials isn't very hard and it's an excellent weapon all the way up to the dungeon, when you can find one that's better.

The Vortex beater or Phantasm with infinite ammo item or the Solar Eruption make good hard-hitting weapons that aren't reliant on mana. (to which summoner gear does not give a bonus)

The Bewitching Table and Crystal Ball are both super tedious and should just be indefinite until you die or remove the buff manually.

It's sort of supposed to look like a collection of houses overlapping with each other, although I didn't quite succeed I think. It's not made of super expensive stuff, but I think it came together pretty well. My favorite part is how the Party Girl decided to move into the exterior Cask Of Amontillado room in the basement.

You start with a copper shortsword. The first thing you should do is cut down some trees, make a workbench, and make a wooden longsword.
