Particularly important for, say, crafted ammo. Or buying things in bulk from shops. Journey mode deals with this. Once you research an item x times, you can duplicate a full stack.

Zereth posted:Having multiple planes/worlds in one "world" would be nice. Like, the ability to go to the (blood) moon for example. It'd also help with the way all the biomes are crammed into not quite enough space, which gets real bad if you mod in new biomes. I was thinking of something like this, but with a bit more of a metroidvania flare. Breaking up the zones presents more interesting opportunities to build things as each zone gets its own biome/block types and story goals. You can also find secrets in older zones once you get the new materials and such. I suppose an overarching zone-contaminating biome can still be a thing, but managing that is more busy work than fun.

More anti RNG features would be nice. When did my Journey run mode I stared into the RNG abyss of "Dupe about 800 fishing crates before getting the item I was missing", taking ages to get certain enemy drops even if I shamelessly cranked enemy spawns to x20, decided "Hey since I have infinite coins might as well try for a demonic/godly modifier on purpose" and blowing through a full stack of platinum without getting it. Time control powers and duped quest fish still needing an eternity to get a goddamned weather radio while keeping all my items in inventory to prevent dupes of the major rewards. etc. Meanwhile in my lazy classic mode save I'm poking at off and on these days, "Oh cool I lucked into an entire set of ancient shadow armor within the first hour of gameplay." and a gold fishing net after twelve fishing quests trying to lull be back into a false sense of security over luck based gains. I want more than my Nth flag to stuff in a chest somewhere after killing an enemy fifty times, make it apply better drop modifiers or something. Also I'm being reminded skimming the wiki that the hardmode dungeon enemies are based on a "chance of three different tile types=three different spawn tables", explaining why I probably never thought too hard about hard mode dungeon weapons that didn't come out of chests.

Section Z posted:More anti RNG features would be nice. There was a mod whose name escapes me that fixed this entirely by adding tokens that dropped randomly but commonly from enemies in every biome(so like, cavern tokens, crimson tokens, ice tokens, ocean tokens, etc) and were used as crafting materials for rare items that spawned in that biome. So, say, desert tokens could craft into a Sandstorm in a Bottle or a Magic Carpet, or cavern tokens could craft into Arkhalis/Terragrim. IIRC it even added tokens to fishing boxes that could be used for fishing items. This sort of system is perfect anti-RNG without going full into Journey Mode infinite free item generation.

Agree entirely on the RNG. The token system that Kanos described is a very good idea, but at least for drops it would be very easy to code in logic wherein the odds of mob Y dropping item Z would increase each time a mob Y dies. When Z drops, it either resets the probability or, for 'unique' items, it can't drop again. Some classmates and I coded this into a computer game that we wrote in BASIC back in the early 90's; it certainly can be done now. Raw (miniscule chance)/(some huge number) mechanics are total bollocks. They make sense (not really) in pay-to-play games like gachas and MMOs, but in anything sensible it's just cruelty to prolong game time.

Disagree, nothing that is required is behind horrible rng. It is legit exciting when a 1 in 1000 item drops, removing that is bad game design.

Whenever I get a banner drop I usually just place it wherever I am at that moment, it lets me know what enemies are where and also makes them easier to kill.

I was just now running laps around the cave layer on the night of a full moon with a stack of hunter potions so I can see when the skeleton merchant finally spawns inside a tiny 10x10 or whatever the hell fully enclosed hole deep inside dirt and stone I would have never possibly found otherwise even with a rare creature detector as part of my UI. Buying the magic lantern pet I really like isn't technically RNG. But weary exhaustion is the bigger feeling than 'legit exciting' when it comes to these things.

RNG drops are fun when you don't know what's going to happen and aren't expecting anything to happen and are thus completely surprised when an unexpected bonus item appears. Once you've played enough to know the game well (or if you've spoiled yourself with guides and wikis), though, it feels bad because you know exactly what RNG could potentially offer you and are disappointed every time you don't get it.

One of the anti-RNG mods actually uses banners as the tokens for creating usually rare drop items. I really like that as a compromise because if you get stupidly unlucky, you will eventually get the item regardless.

I decided to try expert mode for the first time and I just keep dying over and over and over. I am not good at this game, maybe I should drop it back down a difficulty level. Only reason I even went with expert is so I can get the goodie bags until 1.4 tmodloader has a stable release and I can just enable the mod that lets goodie bags drop on any difficulty. As far as drops go, I think that when it comes to various rare pieces of equipment that all do a similar thing, it's fine for them to be rare since you'll likely find some form of whatever kind of equipment item you're looking for, but it's very annoying when items that exist solely as quality of life stuff ends up locked behind a rare drop from a rare enemy.

On banner chat I do wish every banner placed in the world added a percent or two of damage each bonus to mobs of that banner. I know they do this in proximity, but I wish it was a world-wide buff. It’s make me care about banners again at least.

Make it scale differently as well - I don't want 500 banners, I want 1 for 50 kills, 250, 1000, etc.

FirstAidKite posted:I decided to try expert mode for the first time and I just keep dying over and over and over. Early game expert is by far the hardest period and you are pretty much required to abuse mechanics as much as possible. Arenas and kill pits, potions, bombs, and throwables are your bread and butter for a while. Fossil Armor is a fantastic early, easy to get armour set to complement throwing/ranged as well.

I wish there was a NPC or something I could redeem banners from, instead of having them pop into my inventory when I'm killing a bunch of stuff and probably don't have the space for it.

Or you forget to sort your void bag while you're grinding pumpkings for the sword and there's like 20 in there. I wish you could start an item stack in there (ores come to mind) and have the game prioritize depositing matching drops in the void bag, leaving your main inventory open for the less frequent pickups, like gear.

You can sort of do that, for since blocks anyway, with actuators. It only works for some blocks and they look different when inactive though so it's really more of a workaround than a design feature for decoration.

Yeah this is the hell I live in. Whenever my friends and I play I'm always the one doing the builds because I'm the only one who likes doing it, and I always ponder and sometimes even start off with nice looking sprawling village setups or other fancy stuff before realizing that convenience is king and the lovely looking cramped shoebox layouts are by far the best for actually playing the game.

Even though I mostly make a godawful giant sideways H shape mounted on top of a greenhouse where the height of style is "Well... it has iridescent bricks and boreal wood instead of generic brick and wood!", I can't imagine stopping to make something as basic as a floating pyramid with sand waterfalls, or adding a fake train station for my rooftop sky rail access, or whatever, without the classic rectangles already stuffed full of chests and every last bit of stone wood and ash I never threw away.

Section Z posted:A huge tower/warehouse at the spawn makes it easier to make vanity projects in the first place anyways. The problem usually arises where once you get the utilitarian brutalist shoebox setup with all of your NPCs and storage and greenhouse going, some basic boss arenas in a couple of biomes, and maybe some other projects like crystal shard or chlorophyte farms, it always feels like there's no incentive to move on to the vanity projects anymore because everything's built and it's not like anyone wants to deal with finding an NPC to buy bullets from in the cool sky pyramid you made anyway.

I finally built a decently cool base by just eternally building my shoebox tower higher and higher and building some biospheres off the side of it. Just a huge pile of snow to one side with a couple boreal wood cabins and an ice tower, a huge pile of mud w/ jungle seeds and some mahogany cabins to the other, etc, shifting NPCs out of the tower whenever room opened up. It’s nowhere near as gorgeous as the poo poo posted in this thread, but it feels cooler to come home to than the ol’ utilitarian setup.
