You can also use statues, which is what I've always done. Gives them a use and I find that they're easier to recognize at a glance than frames due to their larger size.

You can also name chests in this version. Not as instantly easy to see what's in the chest since you have to mouse over it, but it's a lot less ambiguous to have chests named "Normal Mode Ores", "Hardmode Ores", "Pirate Loot" or whatever.

While I can't find that picture with the really, REALLY in depth labeled series of storage chests. What's a good rough estimate for some casual but labeled storage for a single person? I somehow have the feeling "20 chests" is undershooting even while in normal mode.

Section Z posted:While I can't find that picture with the really, REALLY in depth labeled series of storage chests. What's a good rough estimate for some casual but labeled storage for a single person? You'll want different chests for pre-hardmode and hardmode ores/bars, separate chests for each kind of weapon unless you sell them instead of collect them (so different for melee, bows, thrown, magic, maybe summon too since I tend to put pet/mount items with those), probably more than one chest for monster loot, a different chest for wood, different one for furniture (and more than one depending on how varied you base building is)... Make separate chests for putting in potions, potion materials, and seeds, and sell off excess healing potions that are of a lower rank than the one you're using at any given time. You should also keep your completed accessories separate so they don't clutter the chest you put the ones you plan to merge with others (which should be next to the tinkerer's workshop). I also highly recommend placing a chest dedicated to putting all the poo poo pirates drop for you when you get to those invasions. Another chest-filler is apparel, because they don't stack. You'll want two or three chests dedicated to putting in all the stupid hats and poo poo you come across, even if you sell duplicates, honestly. Basically, chests. You'll want a lot of these.

Dareon posted:Yeah, if you get lucky you can shoot ahead without intentionally skipping over parts of the progression. Like, I was running around in cactus armor with silver weapons, and in my cavern exploration I found a minecart track that ended in a nice big cavern in the Underground Jungle, so I wound up getting a jungle yoyo and a piece of Ancient Cobalt armor just from silver bow and flaming arrows, without even having 200 HP yet. Then the skeleton merchant spawned and I got me a counterweight, so my yoyo just absolutely wrecked the Eye when it finally showed up. Next stop: Corruption. Agreed, My current run I managed to score an Arkhalis 5 minutes into the game. It's possibly one of the most broken Brain/Eater killing weapons in the game btw. From there it was tin>brain>dungeon>etc. I probably spent more time exploring/artifact hunting at this point then all the previous combined.

Section Z posted:While I can't find that picture with the really, REALLY in depth labeled series of storage chests. What's a good rough estimate for some casual but labeled storage for a single person? It really depends on how you classify things. Every chest has like thirty spaces, but you might or might not use all of them depending on how you organize items. It also depends on how much you get rid of random chaff like outdated equipment or stacks of dirt. Ores and bars can fit into two chests. Potion ingredients can fit into one chest, although seeds might make that run over. Potions could use up two chests depending on if you get rid of the inevitable twenty stacks of lesser healing you get as you explore. Then there's building materials, accessories, and vanity items, and it all depends on how many of these you want to run around with. Explosives, electrical tools, switches, pumps.... If you were just stuffing things in chests with no sense of organization but only kept the actually immediately useful stuff you could get away with 7-10 chests and have room to spare. If you want a precisely organized filing cabinet system, you're going to have a lot more wasted space and use a lot more chests. To each their own.

Trasson posted:It really depends on how you classify things. Every chest has like thirty spaces, but you might or might not use all of them depending on how you organize items. It also depends on how much you get rid of random chaff like outdated equipment or stacks of dirt. Thanks for the tips. Stuff like splitting your growing collection of accessories into "Complete" and "Can smash together" is a great thing I woulda been kicking myself in hindsight over. On that note I lucked out being able to make specter boots as soon as I got the workshop. Oh my god I can't believe I ever thought you could manage accessory storage in general with just one chest, even not counting duplicates  The farthest I had considered for "Fancy" sorting was biome specific non equippable materials. Like a Corruption chest for "This came from the Corruption Scenery/Enemies but isn't equippable". (A quick check shows there are just 15 kinds of seeds, so Deathweed seeds would probably end up in a Seeds chest like you suggested). My main concern is underestimating all the stuff that doesn't stack, basically. For example, I'm only just now doing a general search for "Melee" and holy loving poo poo even if you ignored "Tin Vs Copper" and thrown weapons that's still basically over 100 items. I'd be happy with broad categories so I'd know "Okay, Melee poo poo is there, Ammo based weapons is there, and over here is my overflowing collection of umbrella hats and a chest filled entirely with wood and stone." EDIT: Jimbone Tallshanks posted:I think having bots you could "program" to do basic tasks like drilling in a single direction or laying wire would be amazing. Some kind of "Please deliver goods in chest area A to chest area B" system would be cool wishful thinking bit. You have a beach house, shove all your beach loot into chests, and it gets delivered to your main base. Then again any such NPC would probably be murdered by a Unicorn, or open the trapdoor covering your hellevator. Section Z fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Jul 24, 2015 |

Our 3-player mediumcore expert server (so we hoard a bit more than others) They're not all full, but many of them are. And even some of the unlabeled ones are full too, like the sword chest is just the first of our melee weapons chests, it extends to the right. Same with the ores/armors/ranged weapons/magic weapons, etc. e: and they don't all just have that single item in them, there are four chests on the 2nd row with just general accessories But the Bezoar/Shackle chests are entirely full of just those items

I think having bots you could "program" to do basic tasks like drilling in a single direction or laying wire would be amazing. I've been building NPC houses and sticking biome-related stuff in those. So I have a yellow stucco home for my fisherman with a palm wood chest with sand and shark fins, the dryad is in a living tree house with my wood. It's a bit of a hassle running around town if you need a bunch of different stuff but easy to remember where to get it.

My house has less than 10 chests and I'm not hurting for space at all. It helps when you don't hoard literally every single item in the game and are actually willing to sell/toss the ones you aren't going to use.

Generally I do the following for a basic chest storage system when I make a new world/character, and expand from there as needed:
And then a second copy of most of those chests for Hardmode. It varies a bit each time, but that basic setup keeps my inventory clean for the most part. It's even more convenient with the quick stack feature now. Internet Kraken posted:My house has less than 10 chests and I'm not hurting for space at all. It helps when you don't hoard literally every single item in the game and are actually willing to sell/toss the ones you aren't going to use. I am really bad at trashing things I should otherwise keep to sell and I rarely ever store duplicates of an non-stackable item, but still have problems without tons of chests. Edit: I'm also not nearly as organized as the above list when I actually make my storage room. It tends to have an awful layout and no organization other than each chest being organized.

Seriousky sell/trash low tier craftables you keep in chests, there is 0 reason to keep them around. For weapons, splitting thrown melee from close range melee, guns from bows, summons from magic, and one-use like explosives from everything else should go a long ways towards keeping your storage tidy unless you are huge on collecting.

IntelligibleChoir posted:Alternatively just seal up the entrances so medusas don't go wandering in. That... probably doesn't work. All my medusas seen so far have been wandering in the jungle underground. The first Marble Biome I've seen is a smallish thing, with a closed wall on one side, and a 40 tile gap with a two screen drop between it's opening and any jungle surface, and too steep for a Medusa to make it's way up to where I've seen 3/4 of em. When I've actually been IN that chunk of marble biome, no medusas. I guess because then they couldn't try to turn me to stone when they are in dark waters I couldn't see them in ahead of time in the marble biome. PS: tried sealing it with a quick patchjob of lots of mud. Didn't help. EDIT: vvv While I doubt they can stone you through the walls, the problem I am saying is that they wouldn't give a poo poo about walls and just probably spawn past said walls and all encasement of any shred of marble or marble wall (if any of them are out of sight) because gently caress you.

Don't boss fights keep normal enemies from spawning? Every time I've fought a mechanical boss down in my mushroom biome all the enemies that normally swarm it stop spawning. I know this is a joke but I'd really encourage new players not to go overboard with storage and hoarding stuff. There's tons of useless crap in this game you are never gonna use. There's stuff that's not even gonna serve you any good for decoration. Like, red ice can't be made into anything and spreads corruption, are you really gonna do anything with it ever? Just throw it in the trash. Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 02:53 on Jul 24, 2015 |

Section Z posted:That... probably doesn't work. Patching up the biome doesn't stop the medusas from spawning, but it will still keep them from wandering into the temple when they spawn outside of it, which is good enough. They shouldn't spawn inside during the boss fight because the player will be too close.
