Fat_Cow posted:Is there an easier way to make a lava moat without getting bucket after bucket and bringing it back? Hoookay, first you need to hope they haven't fixed the liquid dupe in the latest patch. Next you need to make a splitter over your moat. You place walls like this: ##### #_@_# #_#_# #_### # is the wall, _ is empty, and @ is where you will want to be placing the liquid. You use a bucket filled with the liquid you want on that spot and you will end up with half the liquid going right into the collector thing, the rest going to where you want it, then you pick up the half in the collector and you have a full bucket again. Repeat until satisfied. It still takes a while, so you can automate the process with a series of pumps and wires, but I'm more familiar with the carpal tunnel version.

kazil posted:So I went back to the dungeon after opening hardmode, and now there seems to be a hardmode dungeon! Good times and deaths were had, but I came across a few locked chests in there. They seemed to be themed like crimson, floating island, ice, and jungle. Does anyone have tips for how to get these keys? I assume it would have something to do with the associated biomes, but I haven't found anything like keys in them. I know that the jungle themed one requires a key dropped from Plantera. Dunno about any of the others.

So this seems a tad crazy, but I think Chlorophyte Ore grows in hardmode jungles. Like I saw a mud block get converted into Ore. I've seen the Plantera summoning flower, it's surrounded by glowing red jungle foliage. Ain't fought it yet as I want to prepare some. You get the golden hearts by finding life fruit in the hardmode jungle. They grow as plants, but I don't know how this works fully, if they all grow at once and you need to find them or if they grow over time, but the latter seems more likely.

SirSamVimes posted:So what's with all the coloured chests in the Dungeon? Do coloured keys only drop in Hardmode? Also, the Meat Grinder is a hammer made out of the Crimtane. There's a meat grinder machine that you place like a workshop that drops from crimson enemies. I don't know if it needs to be hardmode or not. I know the key to the green chest drops off Plantera, but I don't know about any other keys.

The real bullshit thing that makes you have to make new worlds is the rarity of some of the above ground features like giant trees and pyramids.

That's not a comparison that works here, shadewood and regular wood can exist in the same world, shadewood is just the wood in the corruption I think, that or in the crimson, they have different kinds. The real comparison would be between the corruption and the crimson woods, because they can't spawn in the same world normally.

So I found a Spider Nest. There was absolutely nothing of use in there. I don't know if there's a drop from the spiders I'm missing or if there's something there in hardmode. Either way, if you're afraid of spiders and aren't in hardmode you can feel free to ignore nests.

a cartoon duck posted:So if I died to Plantera do I need to beat another Hard Mode boss again before its summoning item spawns again? Scouting the entire underground jungle for a single flower gets a wee bit tedious, especially if you're not sure that flower even exists. Before the first time I fought Plantera I saw two of the flowers that spawn it. I just checked, the first flower is still there.

Pyramids are generally visible from the surface, but they can be buried under sand. Just be observant in any patches of desert. e: I think the Jungle temple might be a thing that spawns in at onset of hardmode, but I haven't verified this.

Hey, could everyone who found a spider nest tell me how close they were to the underworld? It seems to me they are all pretty close, I just need to confirm this for science. If you found one rather far please mention it. Also, I think I've debunked my theory that the jungle dungeon only spawns after hardmode. Obvious in retrospect.

Meldonox posted:Are any of these chlorophyte weapons worth bothering with, or should I set my sights elsewhere? I'm using a Gungnir for melee and a clockwork assault rifle and megashark with crystal bullets for ranged and it sure doesn't feel so powerful these days. The swords seem to be better than Excalibur in one way, but worse in another, either stronger but slower or faster but weaker. I think the chlorophyte spear seems like a straight upgrade over Gugnir, but I can't confirm this. I know the chlorophyte armor is cool though, strictly better than hallowed and has a nifty crystal that glows faintly and shoots at enemies. Not the strongest attack, but it's good for hellivator digging.

Man, eclipses move naturally into bloodmoons, making for over 20 minutes of fighting. A bigger problem is that eclipse enemies are able to hurt your NPCs while you aren't there, so your only course of action is to fight, which is loving crazy. I had a hardmode world that had enough housing for all the non Santa NPCs pre-patch, all houses filled, and now I only have three living NPCs who are only alive due to quirks in geometry. Reaper dropped a swag scythe though. Now I have to decide between True Excalibur and True Night's Edge. Glad for that blood moon, I got a bandage off a werewolf so I don't have to try to get it off an angler fish. e: Well, True Night's Edge is a lot more powerful than True Excalibur, but it seems to have a pretty slow swing speed and has the need to click for each swing problem. Ranged spinning sword beam thing though, pretty cool. Akett fucked around with this message at 07:58 on Oct 3, 2013 |

Ugh, so there's a whole series of accessories that drop from various hardmode enemies and all they do is each one has a debuff that it prevents. They would all be useless if not for the fact that they can all be combined together and then with the obsidian shield. The problem is that the chance of them dropping is loving %1 on each enemy that can drop one. This would be problem enough if not for some of the enemies being loving rare in and of themselves. There's one that only drops off cursed skulls, cursed hammers, or enchanted swords. There's one that according to the wiki only drops from corruptors, but I honestly doubt it only drops from them. This is loving taking a while. Akett fucked around with this message at 10:24 on Oct 3, 2013 |

Daeren posted:I'm exploring the dungeon and picking up all the banners I see because I like fancy decorations and I don't remember them from 1.1. However, on the wiki, it says that the dungeon now has flags that determine what enemies spawn there in hard mode. Does that refer to the banners? If so, does that mean I'm neutering the hard mode dungeon by stealing all these flags? Honestly I don't think those banners do anything for factions or anything like that. I was getting hardmode dungeon enemies in a 1.1 or 1.0.6 dungeon. I may be wrong though. Speaking of the new hardmode dungeon, holy poo poo things there are loving brutal. Especially the paladins. 5000 health and they can throw hammers through walls. Powercrazy posted:Exploring a vast desert isn't very interesting. Once Red adds Very Large worlds in an upcoming patch I'm going to make one just for the sake of having a lot more room up in space for making a space colony. Even if I won't want to explore, larger worlds are good for building things in.

So I've managed to make the best sword in the game, the Terra Blade and it's... not great. Sure it does three digits of base damage and fires off a sword shaped beam, but I just can't use it because it needs a click for each swing. Gaming and carpal tunnel are already playing a game of chicken with my left hand, I don't need to risk my right hand too. The Death Sickle I got in the eclipse is better for most practical uses, it shoots off spectral scythes that spin, linger and do multiple hits. The second eclipse I was in I just held out in a hole and kept scythes spinning around the lips so things couldn't run in easily while I kept an eye out for reapers. The bat wings that dropped off the vampires were pretty useful too, I crafted a set of wings and found they could fly half a screen higher than the angel wings.

Okay, I think I've given it enough time to know the conditions. You can make a Chlorophite farm so long as you have a single Chlorophite ore and as much mud as you want to make into Chlorophite. The conditions are that the world has to be hard mode and the farm area needs to be below sea level, if not the cavern layer, and you aren't required to make it a jungle for it to work. The more mud you have the longer it takes to spread, but you can use multiple bits of ore spread out to make it go faster.
