Slow, IIRC unpowered, require lots of material to get more than a dozen blocks worth of track,can't run people over to kill them, did I mention slow and expensive? Terraria gives you like 50 for one iron and one wood, Minecraft gives 16 standard rails for 6 iron and a stick.

The only way around this is to hope you run into a mineshaft. Terraria minecarts/railways are cool, I always have a problem in changing the elevation though....

Terraria is hugely generous with minecart tracks and it's excellent. Whenever I get the itch and start from scratch with my friends one of the first major projects I do when I finish up the basic housing complex is start laying down sky tracks to the ends of the world because it's cheap enough to be feasible to do even during pre hardmode progression and it saves a ton of travel time.

I also inevitability build a skyrail after making my NPC Apartment Complex. The only issue I have with it is that it feels tacky, but I can’t imagine how much of a pain in the rear end it would be to build and maintain a subway under the surface.

I would never want to make a subway anyway because one of the biggest advantages of a skyrail is that there won't be a ton of monsters spawning in the way. Any monster you can't gib on a minecart track hits you and expert hard mode enemies sting like a motherfucker.

Craft a key with 15(?) souls of light and stick it in an otherwise empty chest. Ta da! As soon as you close the interface it becomes a hallowed mimic! Now die because you didn't expect them to do that much damage or fly onto your head, try again now that you know what to expect, and kill between one and seven goddamn hundred because all I want is a stormbow why are you giving me so many grappling hooks. Or something like that.

I think that's part of what I like about Terraria vs Minecraft, there's less grind to do big builds in general. I incorporated that into mods i've designed for Starbound where I make sure players get a lot of building material, like converting one natural block into 50 build blocks. My users seem to really appreciate it, and honestly who wants to sit digging stuff out when you just want to build big cool things?

Finally beat the Destroyer!  Titanium Armor set w/ accessories that got me to 60 defense, titanium repeater w/ holy arrows, and well-fed/ironskin/regen/archery buffs, plus campfires all over the place.Still came close to dying What's next, grinding for better accessories to try and take down the other mechanical bosses?

Make the Onyx Blaster, if you haven't already (crystal bullets are pretty great with it). Start collecting all the crap you need for the Ankh Shield. Work towards taking out the other two mechanical bosses so you can craft hallowed bar stuff. Definitely start building a fairly sizable arena in the underground jungle, if you haven't already. You'll also want to poke around the jungle for life fruits to raise your hitpoint total to 500.

And don't forget heart lanterns to go with the campfires. Nope, I was ~equal to the cloud islands as far as height goes (small world). I guess not high enough because it was still leaping up at me.

Beat the other two mechanical bosses Only thing I changed was reforging some of my equipment to give defensive buffs and I crafted some cursed arrows. Skeletron Prime was a lot of fun, used the same vertical arena from the Destroyer encounter. The Twins kicked my rear end twice before I just made a single horizontal platform between two cloud islands and from there it was super simple, I only used one healing potion and even that was just as an in-case. Now it's off to the jungle!

I remember the difference between a mechanical boss kicking my rear end and farming all 3 mechanicals bosses at once being about a week, this game is so good with natural progression and I wish they had kept releasing updates for it.

I'm trying to get the Truffle NPC to spawn now but he just isn't  I've set up what appears to be a surface level mushroom biome (background changes and gets darker, music changes, music box recorded mushroom music), it's over 50' away from any corruption and the housing check says it's suitable. I've beat Plantera and read that it might have been a glitch in previous versions but most of the posts are from several years ago and this seems like something that shoulda been fixed. It's been over two weeks in-game since I got the biome set up, am I missing something super obvious? I've got two other housing options that are currently open so I don't think he's waiting in line or anything

Post Plantera already? On Mobile he spawns as soon as I enter hardmode... Google Truffle house and see what others' look like in case there's something you're doing wrong, but I doubt it

I think you need >=100 mushroom grass tiles for it to work, even if the background and music change there could still be too few tiles for the game to consider it a permanent biome. Maybe try planting more mushroom grass?

Yeah it's frustrating, the only other NPCs I'm missing are the Tax Collector, Stylist, and Santa, all of whom have obvious reasons that I haven't gotten them yet. Considering a bump in equipment would help put me over the edge with the Golem it's been frustrating not to have the Truffle spawn.

If I remember, the Truffle biome needs to be underground to spawn him, on top of being a suitable house and in the mushroom biome.

Okay, that sounds right. I remember having the same problem with the Truffle spawning, and it was because the elevation was wrong. Maybe the original house is still too low, then?

I mean maybe but it's at 194' in the Surface, pretty much right next to where the original spawn point for the world was (where I made my base). Do I need to craft the house out of mushrooms or something? I just used wood.

how far above surface on a large world is a skyrailway 'safe' from harpy/wyvern spawns?

it's fairly high, but a player riding a skyrail should be almost entirely safe from wyverns and harpies anyway by nature of how fast you move

Oh hey that rear end in a top hat Truffle spawned! I didn't do anything even near my base since my post, was just exploring the jungle to get more material for armor upgrades. I guess bitching about the RNG on the internet helps things  ...then he got killed during a solar eclipse before I could gather the money to buy stuff from him e: he showed up, got my new ore, kicked the Golem's rear end! man this game is fun even though there's a bit more grinding for materials than I'd prefer.

Solar Eclipse is still good news, getting a Death Sickle to drop during one will turn the tables infinitely in your favor in battle, especially underground, so keep trying

That being said, gently caress solar elipses. Those enemies loving railroad me over and over and over and I hate that it can roll right into a blood moon like it just did. I think the worst I had was solar ellipse to blood moon to a goblin invasion the next day  I don't mind the mass invasions, but sometimes I just want to talk to my npcs instead of waiting for them to not be dead So now it's time to figure out how to proceed post-Golem. Didn't get any hints after killing him (that I noticed) so I think it's gonna be farming him more and wandering until I encounter something new that kicks my rear end. ps thanks to everyone who's been giving me tips, it was nice to find a semi-active thread for general advice about this game

He shredded me the first time we fought but after making it through a Martian encounter and getting the UFO mount, as well as actually carrying healing potions with me (I have no idea how I didn't have them the first time around , musta accidentally put a stack in a chest) I took him out pretty easily. Beetle armor, Ankh Shield, Star Veil, Diving Gear (they crafted with Warding ), Frostspark Boots (also not helpful but they have +3 defense) and Beetle Wings (same as the boots). Only weapon I used was a Godly Possessed Hatchet, which I loving love and it dropped with that buff which is even cooler because I didn't have to waste a shitload of money reforging it.So now it's the Pillars, I'm guessing there are a few equipment upgrades I'm going to need?

Duke Fishron and the Moon Lord are kicking my loving rear end I've got 81 defense pre-buffs, the stardust dragon, vampire knives, a chaingun w/ chlorophite bullets, beetle armor, a ufo mount, and both of them still just shred me to pieces. I do better with the Moon Lord but the Duke just kicks my rear end, as in like 5 hits from him and I'm done even with ironskin and regen potions. Both of these dudes are loving awful to deal with

GobiasIndustries posted:Duke Fishron and the Moon Lord are kicking my loving rear end Have you tried making a Vortex Beater? It's extremely inaccurate, but if you're rocking chlorophyte bullets that's not a problem. For the Moon Lord specifically, if you got a UFO mount from the martian invasion, you can use it to fly away from him at exactly the same speed he goes. Load up a Shroomite armor set with the bullet hat, get a philospher's stone or an accessory made out of it to use potions more often, and get in a loving damage race.
