That thing on the right is just there to look cool (for now) and to anchor the right-hand side of the Boss Fighting Zone Your NPCs are all going to die the first time you fight the Destroyer. Really, most bosses have some way of killing things behind walls. You don't want your boss arena to be within screen-width of your NPC housing.

R.E. Missing weapons chat: I've been finding for absolutely no reason my Yo-yo that I keep on hotbar number 1 will randomly just pop off and drop on the ground without me noticing, so I'll have to retrace my steps to find it. So far it's happened two or three times but I have no idea what causes it, since I know for a fact I wasn't fighting anything when my dude just chucked it on the ground.

Supremezero posted:So I tried out the whole "build a circle minecart track and just follow it" tactic for Moon Lord. Sounds like a great idea for Chlorophyte Bullets. I've had little issue with the pillars so far in expert solo. Bullets are shredding everything as long as I buff up so I don't get liquified. I probably should plan out my Moon Lord battle before I kill the last one....

T is the throw Hotkey, so make sure that you aren't accidentally pressing that.

I accidentally drop the demonite bow all the time because it's the same color as the inventory. I'll be rearranging things and accidentally chuck it because I didn't even notice it was there.

Alright mates, me and a friend have been playing HC Expert and it's so difficult that you end up fishing a lot to gear up safely. Fishing is boring and not challenging so I wrote a short AHK script to automatically fish as rapidly as possible: The script casts the line, then pixel colour checks the float to see if it's moving, with a bit of tolerance so that you don't get false positives when the float is gradually changing colour due to transitions between day/night. I've tested it in the ocean and various underground biomes and it seems to work ok. How to use:
here's the code code:

So I actually lucked into 3 strange plants. Dye trader gave me reflective silver, reflective, and then reflective again. gently caress that guy.

Supremezero posted:So I tried out the whole "build a circle minecart track and just follow it" tactic for Moon Lord. Just put a teleporter next to your nurse habitation pod and another teleporter a few screens away. Stand next to the teleporter when you fight him and medevac once you get down to 200 hp or so. If that's too cheesy for you then decelerate on your mine cart to fight and speed back up when you need to regenerate. Moon Lord's biggest weakness is that he only despawns if you die.

The game seems to toggle a hotkey if it's in the last letter in a sentence or command you type. It happens most often with me and the letter "R". For whatever reason I'll be typing and it automatically uses the mount. I suspect it has something to do with auto-pause being off due to multiplayer.

You also gain a huge player death buffer and the ability to trade aggro so you can run to the nurse, so overall more players is better (assuming each player adds at least as much DPS as the existing ones).

How come when I set up a pressure plate to a tall gate it will only trigger if I walk onto it from the right? I just wanted to set up the gate to open and close as I enter/exit my house but the door never closes when I leave. VVV I hear the click of me hitting the switch, it just doesn't do anything unless I'm coming from the right. I don't get it. Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Jul 10, 2015 |

Assuming you have a pressure plate on both sides, maybe there's a terrain bump that prevents you from hitting it on the left.

I really wish I could turn off events. Finally get the wizard to move back into my hard mode world. As I'm running towards him to buy some music boxes, blood moon rises and a wraith floats through the walls and murder him. EDIT: and it segues right into a solar eclipse. This kind of stops being fun after 10+ of these things in short order. Sometimes I just want to do what I wanted to do, game. Nuebot fucked around with this message at 01:31 on Jul 10, 2015 |

Fishing crates in hardmode can now rarely contain an enchanted sundial that lets you skip one day a week. Good for skipping past unwanted moon events, though the one time I used it for a blood moon it was immediately followed by a solar eclipse... On the plus side, eclipses are supposed to be less common now.

I'm just going to edit that into my inventory because the solar eclipse was just followed up by another blood moon. Jesus christ, I just want to farm the golem for loot before I move on to doing the lunar event. Honestly I think they should just add in some items, like anti-summoning items you can craft that you use when you see the "Blood moon is rising" message or whatever that makes it go away.

If you store your NPCs sufficiently off the ground (20 tiles or so, with open air left and right of about the same), they won't die to wraiths.

SO! Have I mentioned I'm loving terrible at this? I'm still wearing wood armor, have the most boring tower possible in progress. I've not dug more than 10 feet past the surface, only explored my small left to right enough to see a few biomes (??? Corruption, snow, Spawn, desert, Jungle ???) However... While trying to set up a small tree farm just off screen from my home for more of that sweet log cabin action, I see a star fall off the edge of the screen. The star came to stop by a plant that wasn't there before. "Strange plant" Anyways, for those of you too honorable to use editors. What buttons should my dumb rear end push so I can hop onto one of the Goon servers, and shove this strange plant into a chest for someone actually looking for them to get it? TL;DR: Idiot Terraria newbie has a falling star land next to a strange plant that wasn't there a second ago, 20 feet from spawn. Wants to hand it over to Goons actively seeking them out.

Going super slow, but I'm about at Plantera now. I got two broken swords in the span of two eclipses (on consecutive days), so I have my Terra Blade. I feel like my Legendary Seedler is doing more damage at medium range, though. Now I just need a bunch of Chlorophyte for Turtle Armor. Are the other Hardmode fishables any good? Seedler is amazing, but I haven't gotten any of the others yet.

why are the endgame ranged weapons so poo poo. I can either use a bow (that is close ranged and goes against my stealth bonus because I have to get relatively close) or a badass rifle (which has a loving amazingly wide spread and therefore is also useless) Why isn't there just some better sniper rifle like a railgun that shoots through walls instead, since literally every other "class" gets that. on top of that, the endgame ranged armor is just better shroomite armor, boring and disappointing, does look cool though.

It's annoying that I have to make my own ammo from a relatively pain in the rear end ore when Melee can just fire his loving whipsword through walls, Magic can use one of the many spells that go through walls, and minion users can run around poo poo while the stardust dragon rams through it. On top of that, 'stealth' doesn't count for poo poo if you aren't in multiplayer. Mexicat fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Jul 10, 2015 |

So spend 2 gold a stack on exploding bullets and play crowd control. The bow's better against single targets anyway. The stealth is mostly a damage bonus and there's plenty of ways around the speed penalty.
