It's very much a difficulty mod. Its bosses (even the pre-eye worm dude) are way harder than vanilla and you can do things like accidentally trigger a late hardmode boss on your first time farting around the ocean. It does add some nice things to regular progression, like fairly common enemies underground that drop gems, rare ores, and the one off worldgen weapons you never get to use. And there's extensive post-Moon Lord content to use your Meowmeres and SDMGs on. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Sep 1, 2017 |

Spirit Mod is actually pretty fun and has a lot of neat additions including some fun bosses and a unique weapon system where you build one of five legendary weapons (melee, ranged, magic, summon, and throwing) and upgrade it as you go through the game. They're really fantastic weapons and I kinda leaned on them a lot but usually had others to rely on too. Calamity is possibly the content mod I'd recommend most, and has some really, really fun additions, features, bosses, and so on, but holy poo poo the endgame is absolutely ridiculous. Anything post-moonlord is so overpowered they're probably not worth facing (especially on expert -- what a chore, and that's even with overpowered composite accessories) and the Devourer of Gods was possibly the most frustrating bossfight I've ever played. It offers a lot of extremely powerful weapons and endgame equipment can vaporize anything with a thought, so power bloat is definitely a thing here, but along the way there is some fun progression (albeit with a lot of useless armor sets) and a lot of really high quality content with good looking sprites.

Counterpoint: Calamity's legendary weapons are so stupid overpowered that the endgame was a complete non-issue for me. But I also haven't played in a while so that might have been fixed. And I loved Devourer of Gods' trash talk.

Calamity has a lot more content than Thorium. Combining the two together makes for some chaotic progression, as well. On the whole, Calamity's items feel kind of like mid-late Factorio stuff, where everything requires so many ingredients that themselves require even more stuff. It's super grindy. Also some of the progression bits stick out like a sore thumb. The hell crags biome you can visit from the start, but nothing you pick up can even dent the materials until well past Moon Lord. It's worth checking out all the same, just be prepared for grind going in.

It took the mutant mod supersouls (+500 health, a bunch of other things, stupid powerful), the exp/classes high level class token, 8 accessory slots and the Thorium cheat bow. 10 % life steal at tens of thousands of damage a hit full auto. I still died like a dozen times to the jungle dragon on expert, which I had to fight it on to get it to drop anything at all. Maybe once I can get the mod client to work for me again I'll go back through as the ultimate broken thrower, since like any mod that helps the throwing class seems to either add new endgame level stuff, or assumes that you're using basegame progression, where throwing weapons stop at bones and armor stops at like fossil.

I vaguely remember from a while back seeing a mod that combined all the crafting stations and inventory into one place. What is that mod, or are there any other mods that streamline the tedious inventory management?

The Magic Storage version takes the form of a special module that you put on your storage setup that has slots to hold all your crafting stations. It puts up a searchable, filterable list of all the recipes you can make with those stations and the junk in your storage. The only problem being that it doesn't look in your inventory. Costs 3 diamonds and 7 sapphires to make, though bosses drop fake diamonds to use in storage recipes.

I could never get into Magic Storage. Something about the UI just put me off despite the convenience, and not being able to use the normal deposit all button I was used to bugged me. Probably to my own detriment.

I've never trusted quick stack to chest because it somehow always ended up stealing items i wanted to keep on me, so Magic Storage was really easy to acclimate to, since i just shift-click stuff into it like usual.

While you're killing time waiting, you could try messing with the Old One's Army event for some laughs.

The Thorium mod lets you craft those so you can reuse the same huge arena you painstakingly dig out. Someone mentioned Calamity which is pretty cool as well, I haven't beaten Wall of Flesh on it yet but it adds a lot of interesting things.

I like all the additions that Calamity mod brings, it has lots of cool weapons and tools. But for the love of God, I am not using its armor, which is ungodly expensive and doesn't measure up, damage boost wise, to the last tier of Thorium armor (or even some before that if you are a throwing class). Sure there's good defense and health boosts, but when you need to beat something like the jungle dragon like ten times to make the lesser sets it really doesn't stand up too well.

Well that didn't work, Plantera de-spawned when it got down to half health. My runway was 175 tiles, is that too many? I'm using the teleportation trick strategy discussed in the wiki and I watched a couple of vids on it as well.

Speaking of Magic Storage, I downloaded that and the TML GOG patcher for my version of the game, but I can't figure out how to install it. Could anyone tell me how to do that? I think that this mod would be very useful if I could install it properly.

Lorini posted:What is wrong with this teleporter set up? The teleporters will only teleport to themselves Oooooh, I know this one! I ran into the same problem and it confused the heck out of me for a while. The answer is... orange wire is not a thing. You've got red wire overlaid on yellow wire, making it appear orange. Two sets of wiring means that the teleporters activate twice when you hit the switch, sending you back to where you started. Break one of the circuits and it should work again.

Thanks, killed Plantera easy peasy with the teleporter hall set up. Now for yet another problem  Why won't the truffle move into this house? I've been away from the house for literally days and he won't move in. The dryad that I've moved around has moved but the truffle won't come. Any help much appreciated.

It's kind of hard to tell from the picture, but that doesn't look like a mushroom biome. The mushroom man only moves into houses that are in the mushroom biome. You need way more mushrooms than that; the background will turn into giant mushrooms. And the house should be made out of mushroom stuff too, for style points.

In addition to that, you've checked that it's valid housing, right? You might need a floor that's not mud. EDIT: I mean the "are you sure that's actually a mushroom biome" thing, my mushroom guys have, like everybody else, always lived floating above ground level.

You want about 1 - 1.5 screenwidths of mushroom grass, and build the cabin in the centre. When you stand in the cabin you should have the 'giant mushroom' background showing (if it isn't you need more mushroom grass). If you run out of horizontal space then dig a tunnel just under the surface, line it with mud, and plant glowing mushrooms there too. Having two lines on-screen means you only need half as much width. The Lone Badger fucked around with this message at 09:44 on Sep 12, 2017 |

You're going to need a metric fuckton of blue mushrooms for Shroomite gear anyway, so setting up a mushroom farm would be a cheap way to increase the density near your mushroom dude's house. Layer mud and empty air on top of each other somewhat like this. You can even set up dart traps on the empty air layers to automate the collection process. They're pretty inexpensive to tile like this and you don't have to worry about how long your surface mushroom biome is.

In the image there you could put the house in the middle on the upper bricks and it should count, if not there's space for a couple more rows of mushroom grass. Don't forget that it's the blue blocks you're after for biome-ness, not actual mushrooms. That means you could line the inner surface of that brick structure with mud.

Lorini posted:Thanks everyone, I'll re-do it. Where do you put the house in that pic? I think I wound up putting the house just under my mushroom farm for lack of anywhere else to put it. What usually works really well for me is having five or six short rows of mushroom grass blocks. According to the wiki, you need 100 blocks of mushroom grass in order to create an artificial mushroom biome. So as long as you meet that minimum, it's whatever works best to get you there. I think it said the game measures the 50 blocks on either side of you, and the 40ish above and below for determining biomes. So you gotta fit your mushrooms in that, admittedly, wide area.

Yep worked like a charm and I have my autohammer. Now for the big decision. I have a Megashark, a Clockwork Assault Rifle, a Daedalus Stormbow, a grenade launcher and a Chlorophyte Shotbow. So which Shoomite mask do I make? I don't mind farming for something else, noting I have not beaten the Golem or Fishron.
