Last modded playthrough I did which was lastyear-ish had: Boss Checklist - Self-explanatory Calamity - Massive content mod with custom difficulties, completely revamped bosses, weapons, armours, etc Crystilium - Biome, Items, Bosses Fargo's Mod - Massive amounts of upgrade chains for accessories leading to wildly overpowered stuff at the end. Also includes npcs, craftable infinite ammo for most consumables, and other knickknacks. FKBoss Health Bar - Self-explanatory HERO's Mod - Debug/Console type UI. Useful in modded for when things break. ItemChecklist - Self-explanatory Magic Storage - Amazingly simple storage system allowing you to link special chest blocks together into a single interface. Essential, imo. MaxStackPlus - Self-explanatory OmniSwing - Makes all (supported) weapons hold to swing constantly. Essential for your fingers. Player Health Mana Bar - Self-explanatory Pumpking - Items and light content Recipe Browser - Searchable list of every recipe (including modded ones). Essential Reduced Grinding - Increased drop rates of some of the more stupidly rare things. Simple Auto Chests - Source of infinitely generating items after a high initial cost for each type. Spirit Mod - Biome, Bosses, Items, Armours The Deconstructor - Building item that breaks down items into their components for a price ThoriumMod - Big content mod with weapons, armours, accessories, etc. Routinely buggy (or was at the time) Tremor - Another content mod. WingSlot - An extra utility slot just for wings WhatModIsThisFrom - Simply tells you what mod the item you're hovering over is from. Essential on heavily modded games. If you decide to also run Fargo's + Calamity I'd suggest running Expert at minimum. Revengeance you'll eventually scale past and Death Mode if you want a challenge. E: Awful way to start a new page.

I like calamity more than thorium but you can play with both so it isn’t really a big deal I also wish that magic storage would let you quick stack because it’s pretty perfect aside from that

Get TML FNA, it's a fork of TModLoader to the FNA toolset which is an open-source reimplementation of the old XNA toolset. The main selling point? Contrarily to XNA, it allows 64-bit builds. And you can use all the extra available memory (provided your computer has more than 4 gigs of RAM, obviously) to load more mods. And yes, you can even get it for the GOG version! Here's my mod list. Utilities:
QOL content:
Base building stuff:
Content mods:
Mods I looked at and decided not to use:

Patware posted:will i be basically choking the world into a goofy mess if i do anything but Large with multiple content mods going? Yeah, pretty much. It can be kinda chaotic. I recommend whatever mod it is that lets you expand the world size beyond normal limits so biomes don’t override each other entirely. Just make it wider, not deeper. Or commit to the chaos and make a small map.  Cat Mattress’ list looks pretty solid, although some of the QoL mods add some kinda game breaking stuff. It’s a matter of taste though. I didn’t even know about Census. Great idea. In my experience some of Antiaris’ structures don’t play nice with worldgen in heavily modded games. They just don’t generate sometimes. It’s just added flavor with some neat items though, so no big loss. Also magic storage is basically obligatory with all the extra inventory cruft.

Just a heads up that masochist mode is a pain in the rear end ( ) but for the wrong reasons. While you're walking around on the surface you can get random boss spawns, which is all fine and dandy but it happens quite often so the end result is you may end up having to kill queen bee ~5 times while walking from the map centre to one of the corners.In addition, the amount of debuffs it shits on you for falling more than 5 feet in the start is ridiculous.

Is there a way to fix the 64bit fna tmodloader so it doesn't screentear, lag, and really gently caress up the lighting? Because when i installed it it did that and also now i can't use normal 32 bit terraia as it just errors before starting. Also, if its not obvious, i reccomend being careful with it.

You can right click on the game, go to "properties" then "local files", and click "verify integrity of game files..." and it will get the 32 bit Terraria back.

watho posted:Playing with lots of mods that add several enemies and drops makes it very frustrating to try and get specific items Yeah. Despite all the mods I'm using, meta detectors are still dropped only by nymphs and still uncraftable. I'm not sure I'll ever meet a nymph in this playthrough; though I should be able to summon one once in hardmode thanks to one of the NPCs, so that's my contingency.

tbh I usually just give myself a cellphone and ankh shield. They're just not worth the headache after the dozens of times I've played through the game.

The cellphone is the one thing it's totally worth cheating in even if you've never earned it the legitimate way first. gently caress those fishing quests forever. The Ankh components at least can be farmed in a few hours with the right setup, so it's not *too* bad but gently caress the loving fish quests, only part of the game I genuinely dislike. Hey you know what would be awesome in this game about exploring caves and flying/grappling around shooting monsters in hell and poo poo? Sitting in one spot for extended periods of time doing nothing.

Yeah cheating in a cellphone ASAP doesn't break anything, though I usually wait until I can get a magic mirror of some sort first, though with all the mods I play with it's usually a trivial craft. I wait on cheating in the ankh shield until I'm at the point I could legally grind for all its components. I also sometimes cheat in stuff I know I could trivially obtain but which would just waste my time, like low tier ores when I'm already in boss gear and such.

About 120 fishing quests done, I got six weather radios, but he never gave me the fisherman's pocket guide nor the sextant. Stupid brat. Fortunately, those items are craftable with my mod list. Also I'm not sure which of the mods do that, but he doesn't do the "one quest per day" thing anymore, as soon as you turn a fish you can get a new quest, which made the grind less tedious.

Calamity actually fixes the "fish, loser" problem by making all the fishing items drops from the very fist boss it adds.Willheim Wordsworth posted:Did you get Terraria on Steam? You can right click on the game, go to "properties" then "local files", and click "verify integrity of game files..." and it will get the 32 bit Terraria back. Already tried that, reinstalling it and reinstalling the entirety of steam, the 64 bit loader somehow hosed up terraria on a fundamental level or something. I get this error, if any of you can parse it. https://imgur.com/D8WB5Zc

Fishing isn't even that bad in Terraria. Honestly, I kind of enjoy it. The real problems arethe random quest results, the fact that none of the guaranteed rewards are the items you need for the cell phone, and most importantly, that you can only do them once per day and have to check back home every time. It's not so much the fishing that bugs me as it is the moving around, waiting till the next day, and shuffling around to any number of fishing holes I've had to build only to get a single shot at an unlikely random result.

The angler things can drop from the Desert Scourge, but they're not a 100% drop. For your TML64 uninstalling issue, make sure to delete any DLL in Terraria's program folder. In fact you can probably just delete the entire folder (your worlds, characters, mods, etc. are in My Documents/My Games/Terraria, not in the game's own folder). Then verify integrity.

That did it, thanks! Forgot the old "make sure to delete everything, not just uninstall". Also I will say that while I like calamity in most aspects, I'm not as much of a fan of the fact that so many post moonlord items are made with somewhere between 5 to 10 items, and several of those may also be conglomerate items. Especially considering how many of those are accessories that you need to really fight the later bosses.

I got that same error, and when I got it working after uninstalling, moving, and reinstalling I found if ran at 60-80% FPS unless I downgraded the lighting. Moving to the 32-bit loader worked fine the first time and didn't give any performance issues.

Decided to try out the Skyblock mod+map. Is this still the best way to duplicate lava? It's really slow, even with the 3 devices, and they occasionally don't get enough spill for a bucket, hence the left side for easy access for refills.

Split duplication is still the only way to dupe liquids afaik. You can have a single source hit a block, split, then both of those new flows to split and repeat until bored to speed it up though. Haven't played that pack so no idea if you have the ability to terraform yet and create a multi-tiered dupe tank which would be the first place I'd start.
