So it looks like a combination of The Axe for Hammer and Axe stuff (if I can get it to drop) and then one of the Pillar Pickaxes for mining then. Cool, ty!

That is the opposite of what they just advised you, lol

I looked through all the top gear and all the best hammers are also axes, so I selected the best one of those, and then the best pickaxe. Plus I just looked and the wiki says that the luminite pickaxes are best pared with The Axe or their luminite hamaxe counterparts so...it made sense to me at least, got rid of my mishmash of equipment for some real nice stuff

Somehow I beat all the bosses in this game and crafted relatively large bases and I had yet to lay a single wire. Well that changed today and awesome. so far it's just a couple transporters and some actuators to open up my treasure vaults but now I have real motivation to craft a pirate ship in the ocean and turn the tiny Angler's shack I made into a nice ocean-side property because I can get there instantly. Instead of having all the NPC's congregated in one place I'm gonna space them out across the world in clusters. I'm so excited to world build

At some point I usually replace the doors in and out of my housing complex with actuator-ed walls linked to "only activated by the player" pressure plates. Both more secure from enemies trying to get in, and faster to get in and out myself!

I also use actuators to harvest my glowing mushroom farm. Just layers of mud every other block with mushroom grass on it, actuated. Flip it off and all the mushrooms fall down! Pick them up and flip it back on for more to grow.

I have a bunch of mods now.

I can't tell: does Terracustom work with tmodloader 10.1.2?

Remind me, does creating a town in the sky layer deactivate wyverns spawning? I know they used to spawn whenever they drat felt like it, just wondering if something changed so I can build an awesome sky castle and not have my NPCs constantly dying when I mirror home.

Zereth posted:

I think wyverns and other sky enemies can spawn off the top of where the map stops scrolling, though. I don't think you can build up there even with the auto-cursor.

Enemies can't spawn in front of player placed walls. Make your castle a screen bigger on all sides than your npc quarters and you should have no problems. With enough npcs the spawn rate should be negligible but it never hurts to be careful.

Ambaire posted:

So if I have a block apartment for my npcs, putting a 6 or so high wall on top will prevent mobs from spawning there during a goblin invasion? Or do invasions override the normal rules?

Is there a mod that makes crafting bearable when you've got one of the big mods enabled? The whole single scrollable column on the left is just painful. I'm hoping there is something that maybe gives me a full grid or anything better than what is there.

I forgot how tough / slow it can be starting out. I mean, I did make a custom map with some more chests, ore, etc. but it takes a while to pick up when you play for maybe 30-60 mins at a time.

Super fun though.

Recently I did a play through where I forced myself to follow a more "vanilla" progression and it was a lot of fun. Usually I just grab some bombs and make a beeline for hearts/orbs, and then use the gun to poke around in the jungle, but it was nice going back to the roots so to speak.

I don't know if there's a typical start but as I said for me it's usually get a gun and then go immediately to the Jungle, you can usually get kitted out pretty good. Then you can kill Eater\Brain a few times and be the god of pre-hardmode.

This is a lot harder to pull of on expert worlds though.

Edit: On corruption worlds I go straight for Eater, a wooden bow and some Jester arrows is enough.

Alternatively, do enough spelunking to find some bombs and then pop a heart/orb. Blast the resulting meteorite with explosives and make the space equipment. Full set of space armor gives the space gun 0 MP cost.

Haven't played this in ages, didn't realize moding had taken off so much.

Is there any mod to throw in that adds structures/ruins/mini-dungeons into the world gen? Sort of like how you'll sometimes find little houses underground. I enjoy finding something that isn't endless procedural caverns.

nessin posted:

Does TEdit still work to cut and paste map segments (a house in my case) or is there a better option to get a nice looking house into a map without manually rebuilding it constantly?

Ambaire posted:

Are there any mods that add items/placeables that auto pick up drops and put them in the nearest chest? I got this lovely cavern farm going and thanks to Luiafk's Ultimate Battler I can have up to 170 enemies onscreen at once but thanks to how fast I'm killing them, I either have to autotrash the stuff I don't want and/or do frequent 'deposit items to chests' every 10-15 seconds.

This was partly done in pursuit of a set of mining gear for Fargo's mutant miner enchantment...
