Decided to create a nee world, since all my pre-existing worlds pre-date Shimmer. Thought to myself, "I'll make a Master world and start a new char. How hard could it be?" Oh. Oh dear!

Just let me click on something in the inventory and bring up the crafting tree I can make if I'm near the appropriate station.

Last run through I was using my gaudy 15 button mouse and I really miss it this time around. I've always resisted using the number row and instead scrolling through equipment/guns in games with the wheel, so I'm always going back and forth between pickaxe/weapon/torches etc and its not ideal. Finally moved torches up next to the pickaxe and now I keep scrolling past them to where they used to be. I used to have buttons on the mouse bound to specific slots. I really need to just learn to start using the number keys.

i mean you don’t need to keep your pickaxe or axe or torches on the hotbar. just hold shift while mousing over the appropriate thing you wanna mine and it will pick the right tool, hold it a bit further away from your character and it will pick a torch, and hold it even further and it will pick glowsticks or a flare gun.

codo27 posted:Its so fun scrolling for 5 minutes to find what you want to craft when you have all the crafting stations placed close to each other It’s not MUCH better because you still have to pick it out of a block, but if you click that little button with a nine pick and squares (I think) it will display everything you can craft on a grid. It’ll still be tons of items and you have to find the thing, but it’s way easier than endless scrolling.

the console versions have some UI improvements that I wish were also in the PC release. Like having drop-down menus for settings instead of making you click repeatedly to cycle through each of the different options (and if you click one too many times you need to loop all the way back around) And the crafting UI is shown as a grid by default and even lets you search and filter items.

Once you kill enough of them, the invasion will stop - you don't need to do it all in a single life. You can also just go underground. I think the pirates will only appear close to your spawn point. They'll still be there when you return, probably, but you can still adventure around and get more stuff.

I almost took a sick day today cause I wanted to just play all day. Been so fuckin busy lately. Finally got the tinkerer last night, finding him near some underground space biome with a teleporting cum pool that I've never seen before? Can anyone think of a progression payoff in a game as satisfying as getting the tinkerer and combining all the accessories?

I promise nobody will judge you.

The whole crate transformation thing sound like it would be useful for decoration purposes and very little else. That said I did actually convert a bunch of pearlwood crates into regular wooden crates because the wiki said only the wooden crates had the step-stool in it, this later turned out to be completely untrue but I still got a step-stool out of it so no loss there.

Took care of EoW last night, that rounds out the original 3. Got my shadow armor, another mobility boon. Now I just need to increase my damage. Mainly using a hurtful ball o'hurt right now, 34 dmg. I have the minishark as well but its just too weak.

I started a don't dig up seed playthrough and INTENDED to not use any of my items from my complete playthroughs... Yeah, that lasted until shortly after I completed my hellevator and ran across the jungle temple ON THE SURFACE. My poor little dude didn't last long against the half dozen lihzarhds. Logged into my main playthrough world and raided my unused equipment chests and now things are once again too easy. Decided to drill a second hellevator the fast way (Celebration Mk2 and MkIV rockets), and that was going well, I even found a chest in the middle of a cavity created by all the explosions! It was a dead man's chest. I died again. I love this game.

I had one idea for Terraria 2. Take note I never played with mods so don't if this was made, but.... Weapon Skills. You'd have on your character skill slots (more slots can be added with a consumable item) which you can place Skill scrolls. These can be obtained via enemy drops, chests, NPCs, etc. The NPCs in mind would be like swordmasters, judo masters, sorcerers, whatever. They can sell skills and give dailies ala Angler that some can be rewarded to. The skills themselves would be based on the weapon type. For example, a skill that would allow you to do a large charging slash with a broadsword if the attack button is held long enough. Other ideas would be shockwaves and impact blasts for hammers or whirlwind swings for axes. The main purpose is to give other melee weapons a way to be more useful in combat instead of just tools. Another idea would be to have martial art skills and weapons, like knuckles, gauntlets, and more. Skills could do things like rushing punches or kicks to familiars moves like a Shoryuken. This might be a bit too complex for Terraria, but I'd love to see what they could doeto improve on combat.

boxen posted:I started a don't dig up seed playthrough and INTENDED to not use any of my items from my complete playthroughs... The Lihzards will only spawn outside the temple if you're standing right in front of the door. They'll shock you if you're going "wait, what the heck is this" and trying to peek through the keyhole, but you won't run into any if you're just going over the top on the way to something else.

Not only is Don't Dig Up a good remix that offers principled changes to the game progression, but I like the implication created for the setting by having you fight your way out of a last-bastion situation on a temperate island in hell.

I wish you could mix and match the special world seeds a little more, personally.

Being able to mix seeds instead of picking just one or all would be great, yeah. From what I've played of it so far, I'd definitely like the Zenith seed a lot more if I could cut out the bits from The Constant and Not The Bees and keep most of the rest.

Hunter Noventa posted:Eh, I found it got old real fast once you made it to the surface. the constant assault by eaters just was not fun at all. The surface is the most open part of the game, and this seed appropriates that quality to create a space where you're incentivized to stay on the move the entire time you're there. If your destination is the dungeon or sky islands, then there's a shelter there for you to collect yourself before proceeding. If your destination is a meteor, then you're already on your way to a biome predicated on managing an endless stream of flying enemies. I certainly don't blame you for not finding it your cup of tea, but it's clearly a considerate change that brings numerous game elements together into a consistent whole.

I get what you're saying but burned out on it precisely because it messes with the progression in a very chaotic way. I dug all the way to the surface in silver armor and spent like 45 minutes trying to farm floating eyes because I couldn't figure out how to spawn the Eye of Cthulhu and needed to use the item. Then I had to do the same thing with Eater of Worlds (including looking up where the corruption even is), and at that point I was able to mine hellstone and basically skip the entire pre-hardmode progression.

it'd been awhile since I played (terraria, right?) and didn't get him after a couple goes so I went and got upgrades. I got a little lucky with what I could use since I found a sharpening stone in the jungle underground which adds a bunch of damage through his armor. So in total my setup was: meatball, Grey zapper (pump until mana out), molten armor, crimson rain staff, imp staff summon, two fireball towers (+1 from using an eternia item) buffs were just: sharpening stone buff, ironskin, bast statue, campfire, heart and star lanterns spent a chunk of time mostly kiting with the dot from imp and fireballs and rain chipping at the skull. chthulu shield charge and running boots made dodging possible. popped the hands later so less damage was needed to be safe. threw meatball behind me when he chased in last phase for big damage otherwise focused on dodging the rapid charges i am not sure if the 2 eternia towers were critical but I felt they did help. they are easy to get so worth trying if you don't have them
