Nahxela posted:The first world I made in 1.2 doesn't have a Pyramid and doesn't seem to have any Ice Caves to explore I make worlds every now and then for tree farming since I got a project that eats a lot of that. I always run to both ends of the map and still haven't seen a pyramid after 10-15 worlds.  Gotta say that holy poo poo I'm loving this update. And it hit live just the right time as I was wallowing in boredom and considering to play some disgusting mmorpg for yet another month just to kill time.

Starhawk64 posted:Loving the new patch, ropes are my favorite addition so far. Since I spawned right next to a giant tree, I decided to make my attempt at an elf-style tree house. I take it that there's a way to make living wood? Treebuddy  I'm working on trees too. It's a bit sucky that apparently the leaf blocks you plop yourself won't grow those vines like the original big trees.  My älftree in progress. Thinking I need to demolish those blocky houses and start doing ones more like what the vendor guy up there has.

Keep in mind that this will only work during the day, things will always spawn just off screen no matter the NPC no-spawn zone at night. There has to be some limitations at night too. I mean, otherwise your entire base would be swarmed if you step outside.

To summarize my story, gently caress explosive traps forever I mean goddamnit really how was I supposed to see that Those and boulders can be a complete arse. I find the mediumcore option is best for me. It adds danger and a while it's not hardcore, it adds a quite reasonable chance to lose all your poo poo if you die in a terrible place and can't get your primary gear back. The most hideous corpse runs to get my stuff back have been some of the most fun times I've had with Terraria though.

So to create a surface shroom biome for Truffle, I just need to spread an underground glowing blue biome to the surface? I noticed there's one next to my hellavator so theoretically I could just slap mud all over the hellavator wall and it'd get to surface eventually. I'd get a nice lighting on it as a bonus. In other news, killed WoF yesterday (who dropped a +15% magic dmg + 4% dmg emblem) and mushed the altars. Got all the new hardmode ores in my world. I'm fine with this.

J.A.B.C. posted:Also: how can I take some of those awesome screenshots with the 'zoomed out' point of view? I tried piecing together Steam screenshots, but it was long, time-consuming and looked like crap. I'm not familiar what format Steam uses on screenshots but they do end up looking like crap. Personally I just disable the UI and take normal print screens which I dump into paint.net. When I got all my pictures there, I just make a new big canvas, plop them into layers there, flatten and cut out the final image. Doesn't take many minutes with the 5 to 7 pictures I tend to have.

TwystNeko posted:Okay, when is it a good time to attempt the hardmode bosses? I've got Palladium armor, along with the Golden Shower. I tried the destroyer, and it just annihilated me. I seem to be in a catch-22: I can't get good stuff in the jungle, because I can't mine what little chlorophyte ore there is. I can't get stuff from the dungeon, because no hardmode enemies until I kill Plantera. No eclipses before killing a hardmode boss either. Am I stuck scouring Hell for adamantite? What should I be doing at this point? Alternatively, for Destroyer you could get Dao of Pow or the mushroom spear thing. Both very efficient weapons for it and easy to get.

Oh lordy how my first solar eclipse ended in a gangbang that'd make a seasoned porn star blush. I had a pretty decent lava pool tower prepared for them. It was, however, unfinished and didn't have doors and such yet so eventually two or three vampires managed to fly in the same time and spread my lungs on the wall. Then I respawned at my base and was promptly violated by spectres which flew in so fast after every respawn that I didn't even have time to open a chest to pick up any gear. My tombstones were literally flying all over my base as I tried to scramble away. Then I figured that as long as I manage to jump up some platforms to a higher level of my tree, the spectres get bugged and just hover at my position but one screenlength below me. I sat up there with a thumb in my rear end for the rest of the eclipse. And what a sore rear end it was.

Took a few wires but there's now teleport between my bedroom at the tree and the first and last line of defense, the lava dong tower (courtesy of this here thread). Also making a quarantine tunnel to keep that red poop out.

I was just poking around the jungle temple for the first time and I gotta say that the traps are utterly ridiculous, I love them  I added a row of spike balls to my boss farming station and the only problem now is trying to time Devourers death so that his head isn't a mile below ground since he dies so stupidly fast.  Solar Eclipse tower seems to enjoy balls too. Easy to keep the tunnel below empty. All the traps are connected to trigger plates inside so the tower just shits them around as I move.

It's easy to farm meteorite at some point without killing bosses as you can roll new worlds to break two orbs and have a pretty good chance of a meteorite the next night. Although meteorheads can be total bastards early on.
