So, really getting back into it for the first time. What's easier, digging out a thick trench to keep your base safe, or just building an island in the sky?

Fewd posted:In 1.2 there are teleporters so you can connect your base to some further away ugly/simple/optimal defense tower or something.  Edit Because both are going to take absolutely absurd amounts of different materials. I'm probably gonna use Tin Bricks, either way. It's the right material, it looks good, and it's pretty drat common. Not sure what I'm gonna do for the handle. Tungsten Brick, maybe? That's pretty rare pre-hardmode, though, and even in a Large world, I might have trouble getting together enough for the size I want. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 12:53 on Oct 18, 2013 |

Re: Project Big loving Sword I decided I wanted to get an idea of the scale, so I built a sort of prototype-outline in my current world with Stone and Dirt, making it about the size I considered reasonable for getting it done. (I want it to be big, but also actually doable. I'll save my Heaven-To-Hell sword for another time. Or a smaller world, at least.) I made the blade just long enough to punch from spawn-level surface (it is, in fact, centered ON the world spawn) to the start of the Underground biome in a large world.  Regular base included at left, for scale. The 'blade' is 27 blocks wide, which by quick napkin math and measurements makes the blade about 160 blocks long, with the hilt being about another 80 blocks or so. This gives the blade an area of almost 4500 blocks. That's quite a few. A bit more math for how much tin ore I'm going to need says that, with a perimeter of 374 blocks, I'd need at least that much Tin Ore to get a single-layer-thick outline of the blade. But I don't want a single-layer outline, I want whatever's inside to be completely impervious to hallow/unhallow/crimson. Which means four layers. Factor in walls, partitions, and having some supplies for screw-ups, I'm going to need somewhere in the neighborhood of 1500 to 2000 Tin Ore. (Back walls are responsible for a HUGE portion of the rest, considering the 4500-block area that'd need wallpapering.) And that's just the blade. MATH!

Do enemies only spawn like crazy around you, or over the whole map?

 I think I have the layout of the sword figured. At ground-levelish is where I'll be keeping all the NPCs. And, as is to be expected of a good base, there's no way in from ground level. Those gaps in the hilt will be the entrances. The gem at the end of the pommel will be where all my best loot is kept (gold chests should make for a nice map image), and further down will be workshops, storage rooms, etc. Not sure what to do with the upside-down pyramid room at the very bottom, just yet. Gotta say, this thing's gonna look  when it's done.

I think I may have actually figured out a way to cut a corner on this. If I make the outer blade out of Tin Brick, but the rest of the inside of the blade out of regular gray brick, then it should cause a two-tone effect, where the sharper part of the blade is 'shinier' than the rest, and cut down on my having to hunt down Tin significantly!  Edit Green Brick would look nice, for the hilt. Would require strip-mining the Dungeon, though. And I'm not sure if it'd end up causing a Dungeon Biome there or not?

 Progress report! Finally finished hollowing out the land, then realized I hadn't made the blade wide enough to fit a minimum-width NPC room on each side, so I had to widen the whole thing. From here, it looks like I'm about 1000 tin away from finishing the edge of the blade, maybe closer to 800. Since I'm now rocking Crimson equipment and have killed the Queen Bee, I may pop over to a small world and get my strip-mining on. My personal quarters are at the very bottom, with every workbench-type item I've currently got available in the area above. From there, lots of empty space, then another, more casual work area, the World Spawn Hall, and then the NPCs. I'll likely need to put more NPC housing in a bit farther down, as 10 isn't going to cut it for long. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Oct 18, 2013 |

Big post about pretend sword bases incoming! Here's the entryway, where the hilt meets the blade. I'm gonna be lining more cool banners along that ceiling. Once I run out of room, I'll be picking and choosing but for now, if it's not already up there, it goes up! You can see my EoC trophy from this shot, too. The blade is made of Tin Wall, the inside is Grey Brick, and the hilt is made of Green Brick and Green Tiled wall. Knocking down the above-ground portion of the dungeon gave me almost all the material I needed for that. (Which I had to find in another world, this world's is pink.)  Rest of the hilt. I'll be putting more trophies along the hilt with the EoC one, once I start getting some. My "rare/valuable items with no immediate use" tend to go into the upper chest, sorted by category. (Paintings, materials, clothing, furniture, etc.)  The World Spawn dumps you in the big room. The sign says "Welcome to the BFS! Help yourself to whatever you need from the chest. Exit's up above." The chest has some iron armor and tools, and a few stacks of torches and potions. It mostly exists in case I ever decide to take this world online.  Below that, empty space! I've been focusing on the outer parts of the blade more, so this area still lays mostly neglected. Not sure what I'll do with it. Some of it's almost certainly gonna be storage, but aside from that...  More empty space! It's called the Big loving Sword for a reason.  My base at the base. Also, more empty space that I don't know what to do with. You can see the blade-in-progress really well here.  And here's the whole thing for scale/the OP.  It's also really starting to look pretty fuckin' sick on the minimap. Work to still be done Finishing the Blade is priority 1. Which means I'm gonna need a lot more tin. After that, I'll probably finish the inside, get everything solid, so I can go hardmode without worrying about contamination. Once that's done, I'll slowly be converting each of the generic apartments to match its occupant. For now, though, I've got enough to do.

Ideally, your first stop after you start Hardmode should actually be the Truffle's house, and then the Ice Biome while it's raining. Ice Golems only spawn during that area's specific weather, and drop pieces of the Frost Armor, which is better than 2/3s of the armor you can get from mining ores. Just be careful, the fuckers have eye lasers that freeze you. EDIT: Forgot the most important part.

Pre-Hard Mode, I actually find Meteor Armor to be the best for boss farming. The handful of defense you lose can easily be made up for with trinkets, and if you've got a good spacegun, you can tear through any of the pre-hard bosses incredibly quickly. Edit gently caress, that'll teach me to leave the response window open for hours/days on end.

Fishstick posted:When browsing the wiki, I keep seeing random recommendations of keeping your entire home X amounts of block above the surface in Hardmode - is this really required? I currently have an all-underground hobbit hole with just a small door on top of the surface, with a pit next to it. Depends on what it's made of and if you don't mind your base suddenly being smack-dab in the middle of a biome filled with tough enemies. Starting hardmode also supercharges the spread of Corruption and a new biome, Hallow. It spreads far and fast, so keeping your base at least 4 blocks off the ground is the only way to for certain keep it safe, unless you have really thick walls and/or use corruption-proof materials (like Red Brick, made from clay).

Fishstick posted:So what's a good plan when just starting out in Hardmode? I have a full set of molten armor, night's edge, molten fury, demon scythe and a bunch of semi-useful accessories like the obsidian shield. I've just been trying to farm crimson and hallow a bit for souls, since the underground jungle and dungeon are kicking my rear end. Then, go into your snow biome, and start hunting the guys with the eyelasers. The spear can hit them through walls, so abuse this. Do this until you have an Ice Feather, and a full set of Frost Armor. Frost Armor is better than the first two tiers of Hardmode ore, and arguably than the third, too, depending on your build. From there, hang out on your flying island until you kill enough Wyverns to get 20 souls of flight. Make Frost Wings, if you have a Mythril Anvil. Get one, if you don't. You are now set to stomp all over hardmode.
