Speaking of building in the air, I found a pretty cool spot of clouds with a building on it. It's above the snow biome I think, I was thinking about making that my "home base." Does it count as snow biome or its own thing, and is that good/bad for getting good npcs to live near me? Once I'm established up there it would be cool to build a sky-rail like you posted, maybe one that dips into the deep ground too. I know some NPC will move there but haven't looked up the NPC stuff yet since it's fun to build a thing and find some random new friend. i think it was just my golfer who moved in because his doors got busted off in a goblin no-knock raid

They have unique loot and can show up over any biome. They are their own thing and I don't think any NPCs like or dislike them, but they will live there if you fix up the house.

Cool trick: Put on some flower/fairy boots, find/carve some flat grassy space in the jungle, walk back and forth cutting down grass for easy jungle grass seeds (they're low drop chance and need 25 for research). Sadly doesn't work on underground mushroom grass.

Honestly, if you're going to use an exploit like that to generate infinite sand anyway, I don't really see a reason to not just spawn it in with Journey mode research, but I suppose it's your time.

Zereth posted:what do you need that much sand for I'm always farming sand because I need more glass and outside of the surface of the desert and ocean its actually pretty rare. Its like the one block I go to other worlds for because I don't wanna gently caress up the surface of my biomes a ton. Frankly I think one lame thing about Terraria is how you can miss out on the purely cosmetic block crafting stations in your world. I had to go to like 5 different ones just to get a living loom.

^^^ ahh, so that's why i have to double double-click to start my save file. I might do the same thing to replenish my desert. I spawned by a desert and underground desert together, but it looks like hell because I've raided so much sand.Diephoon posted:Don't keep your main base in the sky or you'll regret it in hard mode. Sky is considered it's own biome for fishing quest purposes. I don't know how it affects NPC living preferences. I haven't fished once, is it just bad because hardmode gives you a lot of fishing quests that are hard to do in sky biome? That area did seem to be constantly beset from harpies and I didn't know where they were or if they'd go away if I settled the area more. Is it skybiome thats bad for late-game or building a base in the sky that's bad? cool floating base on a cloud seems too dope to just give up on so easily, and surely I can make a floating cloud base at any elevation, if the elevation is the hard-mode danger you allude to

three npcs stops enemy generation so you can put them anywhere except corruption and crimson, because they will move out. i would think sky towns are totally fine and with the implementation of pylons you no longer are incentivized to have your town directly on top of your hellevator i guess that said, when a wyvern DOES spawn, maybe on the edge or during a blood moon or something, they will completely gently caress up all of your npcs because they will mulch them through the walls

FFFFuuuuuuck. I just entered Hardmode last night, and of course the Corruption part of the V hits my surface desert town. The real annoying part is it also hit my cavern town at the edge of hell. Like 7 NPC homes, useless, just like that. A temporary NPC tenement is under construction until I can clementate the entire thing

It also seems like maybe something I would need to build a defense array or something with? Is there anything "tower defensey" I can set up in general, right now monsters walzt in and out of my town like its nothing, because it is. Hardmode is a long way away, I'm taking these advices as a challenge. Something called Wyvern may or may not eventually be a huge PITA. Last thing I did yesterday was fight the Eater of Worlds. I was "prepared" in that I had some potions on me and a relatively empty inventory. I got some yoyo and a qt slime boi and figured that would just mow through the drat thing like it does the little ones. I got to about 40% health but couldn't heal myself as i was running up my shaft to lure it to surface. i was full of hubris, but today i am going at it again, this time with gumption.

Do the rare spawn NPCs just disappear? I've seen "unconscious man" and "bound woman" a couple of times on my Lifeform Analyzer, but every time I've gone to look for them, going backwards and forwards then up and down, they disappear before I can find them. Are they getting killed before I can find them? Do I have the blood of innocent tavernkeeps and stylists on my hands? I honestly just want to finish off my NPC towns in certain biomes.

Yeah, they can get killed if you don't get to them quickly enough. They also despawn if you move too far away from them. In my experience, you can pretty much just stand in place in the underground and they'll eventually spawn back in somewhere near you, though. You don't have to be moving. I recommend getting some Hunter potion. It highlights enemies and NPCs, which makes it far easier to find them. They'll be bright green.

Do I have the blood of innocent tavernkeeps and stylists on my hands? they can get killed and i know the stylist can be a pain because she spawns in spider dens and tends to get eaten by spiders your best bet is bomb out some tunnels in an area (use scarab bombs, combine bombs and desert fossils, they dig like 3x20 tunnels very fast), light everything up, and just stay still until the lifeform analyzer lights up President Ark fucked around with this message at 01:58 on May 27, 2020 |

Which happens a lot because they will be detected off screen and odds are you’re not going to go directly at them. Lifeform Analyzer would be so much better if it also gave you a direction.

I'm playing with a classic character on a Master difficulty large world. Journey mode.. blah. Tried it, didn't feel real enough. I like to work for my rewards. Also, the sandgun stuff was just for fun. I've barely explored a tiny fraction of my underground desert and I'm not shy of dynamiting a bunch of it. Got about 2k sand earlier.. only 'duplicated' a couple hundred, not that it matters to anyone.

Yeah the Analyzer will say "bound woman" and I'll keep going in the direction I'm going, until it stops saying it, then go back until it says it again, and start going perpendicular to the direction of travel, then lose it, then come back and try to find the signal again, by which time it's usually gone. I checked the wiki and it said to find a spider cave, and go towards it and away from it until you get the spawn then head in and search properly. Of course, if I can find a Magic Conch, I'll stop bothering, because all I want to do is stop having to hop all the way to the ocean to get fishing quests. edit: yeah Scarab Bombs are awesome, and fossils aren't too hard to find either to make them. Hellevators never looked so easy.

Using the lifeform analyser: Monsters spawn in a small radius around you. Actually, a rectangular one, 84 tiles away at the farthest. As you move, that region moves. By the time you notice the monster's name on the life form analyzer, you've likely moved the region away from where it was when the monster really spawned. That's important, because that means the monster is likely a candidate to despawn now. Specifically, if you've moved it offscreen, it's in danger of despawn, and you have 12.5 seconds to get it back onscreen or else it's gone. So: If you see a Lost Girl or Skeleton Merchant or whatever on your HUD, the best practice is probably to STOP moving around (in case it's still onscreen) and seriously think about which direction to move in next. The most probable direction that it's in is backwards from your direction of travel, because you didn't notice the name immediately (if you did immediately notice the name pop up, pick the direction that's most accessible to you). QUICKLY backtrack in that direction and light up everything because you only have 12.5 seconds to veer a different way if you guessed wrong. https://terraria.gamepedia.com/NPC_spawning https://terraria.gamepedia.com/NPC_despawning
