Those meteors have some really good aim.   It went right down the tunnel I was using to remove crimson from this stretch of the desert(it's a bit too close to the jungle). But on a positive note, I did luck out and get a frozen key and crimson key while setting out to contain the crimson. Along with the jungle key I found earlier, those should come in handy once I go back to the dungeon to raid those chests.

Yeah, you can actually get into the jungle Temple pre-Plantera/Picksaw by digging a hole down to it and hoping for a meteorite to hit it. Obviously the odds are really low even with a big hole but it's possible.

What if you built a skybridge over your world and placed chests on it so the meteor couldn't hit there? Could you then dig a perfectly straight hole in just the spot you want and target it at the temple entrance?

I don't imagine placing one every 25 blocks would be any faster than placing one every three blocks as long as you're getting them with an inventory editor. In fact, placing more chests is probably easier because you can just hold down left click.

I would recommend just bypassing the inventory editor and using cheat engine, setting the item values to 999 and locking it for ease. It took me like three or four full stacks of 999 rail tracks to build a cart track across my large world, for reference.

At that point just get a straight up map editor and do poo poo in there. Assuming there's any working map editors at the moment.

Acne Rain posted:Stardust pillar I beat by going to town with chlorophyte bullets and a tactical shotgun, Vortex pillar by camping behind walls with minions and traps, solar with a buffed mage loadout with specter healing and a dragon helping out, nebula by staying in the air and using top tier melee items. I had wanted to beat each pillar with a different class so I'm glad it worked. Thank you for this post. I would not have thought of switching back to spectre armor with the hood. Throwing one nebula blaze at the crawltepede's tail gives an instant 200 health. Magnet sphere stun-locking a corite can give me nearly a hundred. And I just realized the solar pillar spawned just off-screen of the edge of the asphault runway I used to fight The Twins.  That..turned things around very, very quickly.

Incorrect. The "spirits of light and darkness" create a big ol' X in your terrain, with the intersection in the center of the map. I see that path of Hallow is pointing up-right, so your corruption started on the other side of the map (under the dungeon), angled up-left. That bit of corruption in your jungle does not even look like corruption to me, and if it is, it was caused by a seed block spawned by breaking altars.

Anyway, I looked at an example of a corruption biome on the map and it is definitely not that color. Corruption is a dark purple on the minimap, that's just grey stone. The background is darker, yes, but there are parts of the caverns which are darker like that and have nothing to do with corruption. I think they're gem caves.

Baron posted:I'm really new to this game, and having a great time! Just killed my first boss, King Slime, and now I have a sweet slime pet to ride on! Yay! For reference it took like 60+ ingame hours for the hallow to begin creeping up on my base and for crimson to eat a chunk of my ice biome. Both problems were solved with like 10 minutes of cleansing. Speaking of spending a lot of time ingame; I finally built everything I wanted and defeated the final boss on expert mode too. Had well fed bonus, ironskin, regeneration, endurance and lifeforce potions, an ichor flask, beetle armor, solar eruption and cosmic car key. Fight took like 8 minutes, judging by the two rounds of buffs I had to do. Just flew around while swinging for the head eye then going in a circle to avoid the big laser beam during the first phase. After that I flew straight up and down (or was it diagonally? I forget) to evade some of the garbage the boss throws at you all during the second phase. I got lazy and used a mirror to go back to a hut with the nurse like 6 times too, couple of those one after the other cause the boss pummeled me too hard while walking out the house. All in all I'd say it wasn't that hard, took less tries than something like the Wall of Flesh, but you really do need the nurse if you are not going to do something to evade the mouth tentacle thing so you can use lifesteal during the fight.

I know the 6th accessory slot doesn't function in non expert worlds, but can you still move items in and out of it or is it just locked?

You can take your item out of the 6th slot in a non-expert world but the slot then disappears until you enter an expert world again. Or at least it worked that way a couple patches ago, haven't tried it since.

While its a few pages back, Blightfall is getting a major overhaul and might scratch that itch when its done. You can try it in its current form to see if it works for you.

After gearing up a bit for quality of life purposes I started an expert world. I'm kind of modelling my base off tourian off metroid but I'm not loving the colour of the tin plating with the heavy meteorite / amber stonespark asthetics. I kind of want it to look clean on the inside, but the exterior is actively chewing into the surrounding earth (I loving love cogs)  Any suggestions before I rip into it?

For my new 1.3 character (I'm attempting the "intended" progression, I could have bombed my way through corruption ages ago), I am building intentionally horribly. Perhaps too horribly, the conglomeration of hay, mahogany, ebonwood, and fencing walls on a couple rooms just seems like I'm trying too hard.

I got a martian saucer mount finally, switched out wings for another caster accessory. Then promptly got murdered because movement speed is slower than solar wings vs moon lord. I guess I could just chug a speed potion, but I'm tempted to just go back to wings honestly. I want to do expert mode for the extra accessory slot at this point, normal mode is fun but those loot bags are really looking good.

Mzbundifund posted:Good luck and post results! Well, I'm done. Using an item editor, the Drill Containment unit and a decent chunk of time, I set up my controls and put a meteor 'spawn point' right over the Temple. The meteor landed somewhere in the Corruption, on the other side of the map. The SkyBridge was completely untouched. Is there a spawn height for the meteors? I had the sky-bridge pretty close to space to turn down the chances of it hitting a floating island, but did I have it too high? I can post images, if you all want.

Got back into playing this dumb fun game back when I heard about the new patch and was struggling pretty hard with a slightly ahead of the gear-curve character vs expert Plantera even with all the buffing potions I could get (aside from potions that require fishing, gently caress that), a well made arena with heart lanterns and campfire. So I decided I'd make a normal world and give it a try there. I fought all three mechanical bosses at once easily without any danger and murdered the poo poo out of Plantera without even dipping below a quarter health without buff potions and minimal to no arena setup. Expert mode adds a dumb amount of extra damage and mob health and I'm not sure how I feel about going back to it to try and kill Plantera and the bosses after.
