You pretty much just build a pit/area that guys can't jump out of. All you need is a tiny covering of lava at the bottom. Add traps to suit. You can grab the loot from below or the sides of your pit area.

You don't have to have it planned out from the very beginning. I mean, if you have a plan, that's great. But I find that I like building organically. I started out all rectangles, gray brick and stone walls. My crafting area was kind of cool but really no decorations to speak of. I just kind of built up and decorated and replaced things/entire rooms as I went. It's not a masterpiece like you see in here but it has that certain something that makes it feel like home. Also, I don't play this all that much so I just got to hard mode for the first time. The Wall of Flesh fight was not what I expected, it was very easy. I had built up a highway maybe a little over halfway on a small map. I took it on with a space gun, demon scythe (I got lucky), and meteor armor. Ironskin and soup. No crazy mods or accessories really. Probably gonna get owned now since I kind of did that on a whim and didn't really prepare for hard mode

Managed to get a set of Frost Armor almost immediately in hard mode. That was a nice bonus. I'd also heard about the mushroom guy from the chat here, so I picked up that spear too. So handy. I had enough pixie dust and crystals to make a set of greater healing potions. I built a platform and a campfire and summoned the Destroyer. Took him out. Wasn't too bad. Skeletron Prime spawned randomly and he killed me the first time. He spawned in again but I got him that time. That was less fun that the Destroyer. Just got the Golden Shower yesterday. I guess I need to build a super long runway and try the Twins. Is there anything I should make sure to have first?

Male Man posted:Wings, Hermes boots (or one of their descendents) and a powerful ranged weapon are all you need to take out the Twins. Fortunately your Frost armor is just as good at boosting ranged weapons as melee weapons. Whip up a megashark, summon them, and start running in one direction. You'll have enough vertical mobility to get over hills and such in your way and enough horizontal speed to keep out of the range of the melee eye. Just burn them down over time. You can probably do it with just normal health potions, but if you've got spares lying around you might as well use them.

I need to dig out an area for Plantera now. You know, at least expand the nearest big open area a bit. Ugh. edit: beat Plantera. Somehow the Queen Bee managed to spawn at the same time, which was weird. Plantera wasn't too bad with campfires and heart lanterns sprinkled around. gently caress the dungeon though.

A Saucy Bratwurst posted:Goddam Planterras second form is hard as balls solo I just did this. I found a bulb, found the nearest big cavern area, and dug out a bunch more. A couple rows of platforms, plenty of space to run and fly around. I sprinkled the area with campfires and heart lanterns. If I had heart + star statues, I would have used those too. I also covered the jungle grass with blocks to prevent those gigantic vines and stuff from spawning. Then it's just buffing up, getting some Nimbus Clouds going, and shooting the fucker a million times. Make sure to pee on him so he constantly has the defense debuff.

BlueOccamy posted:Do campfires stack with each other or should I just have one of those and one heart lantern in my arena? A campfire + heart lantern stack. 2 campfires or 2 heart lanterns do not stack. Depending on how big your arena is, you may need more than one of each. Heart lanterns go a little farther than campfires.

I heard earlier that you can try getting key molds by using meteorite in whatever biome. Can you still do that?

I'd use ash anyway because then you can scoot across it and pick up fireblossoms if you don't already have a garden for them.

DelphiAegis posted:The only problem I found when using pumps, is that since honey is so slow to move, it can take forever for a pump to refill the reservoir it's pulling from. You probably want to have a single inlet pump and multiple outlet pumps. I think this still multiplies your output, anyway.

I'm gonna have to take on the pumpkin moon soon. Even though I should probably send another world to hardmode + farm a few more uber traps first. Oh god.

I don't and I probably don't have enough money to ensure I can get them. I'll probably end up giving it a shot after a while anyway.

ConfusedUs posted:So at what point should I move on to hard mode? I haven't died in easy mode in ages, except through my own stupidity (drowned in honey when I accidentally mined through into a water cave and got stuck under honey blocks). You shouldn't need anything more than meteor armor and the space gun honestly. Anything you have better than that is a bonus. Right when you start hard mode, you can get the mushroom spear and the frost armor set, which is better than almost anything else in hard mode. Also, islands. If you have the meteor armor + space gun, just walk along the ground firing straight up every little bit. If there's an island above you, you'll hear the space gun hit a block. Then you can just build a tall 1-block sand pile to get up there.

My experience was the opposite. Magically geared character, picked up Magnet Sphere, Inferno Fork, Nimbus Staff, and most of the magic stuff in general without trying too hard. I wasn't going out of my way to just sit there and grind, let's put it that way. Random is random.

What's so crappy about the Terraria wiki? I'm not saying it's the paragon of awesome websites or anything, but it's perfectly serviceable.

Yeah. There are a couple bulbs to start and each hardmode boss you kill creates another bulb.

If you have the meteorite armor and a space gun, the Wall of Flesh won't be too bad. Should be no problem if you have a long bridge built down there. Do it out of ash, by the way, so you can harvest Fireblossoms when you need them. You might want to move your house first. Make a mushroom biome above ground and build a house there. If you have some decent cash stored up, that will be useful. You can buy a great and hugely powerful spear right away from the guy that will move into the mushroom biome. Build a house in the jungle too. You could also build arenas or skybridges, etc. for the various hardmode bosses if you want to. Depends on how much preparation you want to do really. You don't necessarily need them.

It's a lack of art direction. Look at the tree outside the house or the earthy bits underneath the house compared to a lot of the stuff inside the house. It's like they are two different styles, among other things. They don't mesh. Compare that to the art direction of Terraria, which is consistent throughout. There are lasers and guns and ships and all kinds of weird crap, but at least from an artistic point of view, they all look like they belong in the same game.

Equal parts talent and luck, frankly. Talent because the game was pretty well put together, even at the beginning. Every game has its faults but it was far from a pile of trash. Lucky since for whatever reason the pricing, timing, marketing etc. all worked out for it. They sold a shitload of copies. It's a lot easier to be the cool dev and put out great stuff like this when you have a small team who is pretty competent and gets it and is sitting on a pile of cash.
