Mayveena posted:Balance changes coming to Terraria I don't recognize much of anything except the Angler in the video so someone else might want to describe the changes with context. - The melee weapon buffs are self explanatory. - Plantera's bulbs take some time to start appearing in the jungle after you beat the 3 mech bosses, and now one will appear immediately. I think most people take an in-game day or two between these bosses anyway, but this will save speedsters some time. - Bast Statues give a defense buff when placed, making them very nice for boss arenas, but are hard to find. Making them appear in underground desert cabins will make finding them slightly easier. - Old One's Army is a wave-based event, with a forced 30-second wait between waves, unless every other wave-based event. They're making the wait skippable, which is great. - Defender Medal items will be 33% - 40% cheaper. Some of the best Defender Medal items cost 75 medals, which can take a while. I'm guessing those items will now cost 50 medals. Not bad! - Crystal Ball, Ammo Box and Bewitching Table buffs now last until death. This will matter most for Summoners, who won't need to micromanage that buff anymore, and it's a nice QoL change for everyone. - The Sentry buff (they now last for 10 minutes) is another nice QoL thing, so you won't need to worry about resummoning them in the middle of a boss fight. - Drop rate for rare items from Pirate Invasion has been doubled. This is fantastic, since these are some really, really good items, like the discount card. - Paintings and Statues glow when using the Spelunker potion: Thanks? I guess? I suppose this for collectors. - There will be a few new items, but nothing major, such as a pet item that summons both royal gel pets at once.

Hell yeah. New Terraria could be awesome. I've been playing around with the Split mod. It's pretty cool! There's an npc that gives quests to take photos of rare monsters and it adds some fun weapons, although some of them are pretty janky. New bosses are all right and it adds some nice but small biomes. Sprite art has come a long way, it makes some of the older mods look pretty dated.

The recent patch that was aimed at Steam Deck compatibility also slipped in a change to NPC happiness; they now like hybrid versions of their preferred biome. Which means pretty much anybody other than the people who prefer forests can be stuck with anyone and in any place if you also just slam down a couple hundred Pearlsand blocks or whatever. I have assembled a different autohotkey autoclicker script to deal with the fact that Terraria seems to have a hard time catching instantaneous click events, try it out if you have issues with the one suggested in the OP: code:

I really like that the new official wiki shows the version of every port of the game, even the deprecated ones that will never be updated, and compares those versions to the flagship Steam/GOG version.

Mayveena posted:New Terraria wiki. Haven't really looked through it but I assume they got a better deal. Looks like they've set up a developer-owned wiki system along with two other dev teams, and they're looking to expand. Seems very promising. That said, I see they support importing wikis, and from what I remember Fandom has some clause where copying a Fandom wiki and setting up a new Non-Fandom wiki is a breach of terms that can lead to legal trouble. That's certainly not a problem for an official wiki with proper backing, but I seem to recall it being what keeps the unofficial Fallout wiki captive.

I actually did sink a fair bit of time into the Android version 5 years ago or something.

I'm in Australia  At any rate, my poor man's collecting hobby is buying somebody's console + games on FB marketplace and selling what I don't want/already have on eBay. Generally there's a small profit, but mostly I'm just about keeping the hobby cost-neutral. At some point I may plow some of the proceeds into just buying Terraria though; I don't think I've ever seen a cheap copy come up locally.

Are you only allowed to have 1 ea of the Pylons? I was trying to set up a Desert Pylon on each side but cant seem to place second near housing, but unsure if corruption is too close. I have housing on both sides with vendors living in them.

I hope this isn't too off topic. I'm really enjoying Core Keeper a Terraria style underground crafting adventure sandbox game and was wondering if there's any interest in doing co-op?

Core Keeper has legit potential, and looks good. A few things still need adjustment imo, and more content of course, but it just came into early access.

There's a lot of rough spots and a handful of design decisions that need changing (enemies that seek out and destroy your torches even when you're not around, for instance) but yeah, the main thing is it just doesn't have enough content right now. Even with the progression each tier feels a little anemic. Plus it can be hard to tell where you're supposed to go, at times. The underground setting is novel, but getting around it can be really tedious. Imagine if any time you wanted to go anywhere in Terraria you had to dig your way there.

Here is the trailer so you can see what content is available. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqrtsgoU8J8 For $12 I think that's reasonable. Naturally it's not as good a deal as Terraria but nothing is  You don't run into any of that content shown for quite some time. So far I've been pleased with everything except the fishing which is boring as gently caress. The YT'ers in the space so far have been playing with the demo version which at least has character stuff that's not at the start of the EA version.

Another thing is that xp gain in Core Keeper is poorly balanced. Fishing xp gain is bizarrely slow and as far as I can tell, doesn't scale at all, while later enemies give giant amounts of fighting xp. Also melee is basically useless at the current end game, you will get murdered.

From what little I played with a couple friends, it's balanced around fighting being your main activity. Farming essentially isn't self-sustainable, because enemies drop more seeds than plants do. I'm not a huge fan of the food system, either, because it's too hard to keep your food meter full. At least you don't die from starvation. My main criticism is that exploration is my favorite thing to do in any game, and I didn't enjoy exploring in Core Keeper.

Exploring definitely feels unenjoyable, possibly due to the slowness of mining everywhere, but there's not that much to find and even the occasional rare discovery tends to not be particularly valuable, at least in my experience. Gardening is sustainable after you get enough points in the skill that makes plants yield more seeds, because when maxed out you seem to always get 1 per plant. But planting, watering, and harvesting is pretty tedious. Food is much more of a problem early on, for sure.

Having just picked it up and played it with my usual co-op buddy, Core Keeper can't really be compared to Terraria just due to the sheer difference in development time. That said it's a fun little game that's enjoyable to just zen out and mine in, I'd compare it more to a top down pixel Minecraft than Terraria, with a more focused end goal and world. I can see the complaints for not feeling super rewarded for exploring, what you find is so uneven. Like the X marks where you use a shovel to dig up random bits like seeds, super early game armor occasionally and some ore? You can randomly get a purple necklace that gives you minor health regen so you don't have to slam food down your gullet just to top your health off. Busted? No, but it's a huge QoL thing I would never have expected to get out of the ground like that. We've only made it as far as the Clay Caves and Tin so far, and the first boss was simple but tough. I can't image beating it without finding one of the rare cave features that dropped an offhand trinket that gave me a dodge, made the fight way more manageable. Core Keeper is absolutely worth picking up for $12, but you can def still feel the early access vibes in terms of depth.

On this note, I think that I realized that my favorite part of Terraria is the exploration. The feeling when you find an early game gem cave(hook time!), or that accessory you have been searching for for hours(stupid lava charm). Does any other procedurally generated game come close?
