You can sneak in the DCU, but you have to use the worst armor sets before hardmode

Or no armor at all. That's a brutal challenge.

I was just amazed when I discovered you could place metal bars as objects and then immedeatly disappointed when I realized they're all the same model palette swapped and don't count as blocks.

You can do WHAT?

The ice from the rod only lasts 15 seconds though. If it was permanent and there was a similar rod for all of the common materials it would be kind of cool, but having to place and then mine the blocks to use for crafting would be tedious.

You could just use that workshop map floating around that has a million of every single thing in the game

Doing a playthrough with a friend, we encountered hardmode, and poo poo is suddenly in the 'no joke' territory.

It is kinda refreshing going from getting acclimated and comfortable with the current array of threats and then it puts all the fuckin chips on the table.

Also my plan of dragging a Wyvern down to have the NPCs help me kill it backfired tremendously. I am now responsible for several deaths.

fake edit: Just out of curiosity, are you doing a normal or expert world?

Normal, expert probably would have murdered us, hardmode is an entirely new addition for my crew. We MAY go back and start an expert world afterwords, who knows.
Pre-real poo poo mode story: my friend accidentally pissed off the Bee Queen while working on our Jungle expedition, and the star sword he had woke her up and things went into panic mode instantly.
We got molten armor now and we're hanging on barely but the Destroyer showed up and absolutely decimated us. So we need to start yet another underground expedition.

The guide is unbelievably helpful now, and it turns out we don't need a lava pit for garbage item disposal anymore.

There's a lot of new poo poo. A LOT OF NEW poo poo. I forgot how much fun this game was.

Also I changed strategy. I didn't need a few thousand stone block to build a sky transportation system anymore. I just needed a lot of iron this time around. Zoom zoom baby.

So now it's time to figure out how to proceed post-Golem. Didn't get any hints after killing him (that I noticed) so I think it's gonna be farming him more and wandering until I encounter something new that kicks my rear end.

Holy crap, are maps even big enough to support all the materials/biomes you need for Thorium+Calamity+Tremor stuff in a playthrough?

Just started looking into this and combining those three might be a mistake for a coop adventure. Or not. :gibs:

Very excited to look at more fun toys though, especially quality of life mods, looks like Magic Storage might be a must. Gotta look into others. Is there a master list somewhere with recommended mods and descriptions for easy readings? I can look through the thread, though, to start.

The leviathan sprite seems to fall short with me, but everything else has been pretty fantastic.

I just barely limped through the Astrum fights, I have no idea what I'm gonna do for Golem and onwards. Things are starting to hurt VERY much. I'll probably hit up the guide and see what more stuff I can build and combine.

'a problem' is an understatement.

I hope you're doing expert/revengence mode.

When I say "This is a problem" I mean that one of us probably said "Uh that's not loving good what's going on WHAT IS HAPPENING"

Because yes, we are playing on expert+revengence+death mode so we're always on the blade's edge of absolute liquification

Our crew finished off our Master run. Game is just...Wild, how far it's come. To think it went from where it was on launch to this is just absolutely mindboggling.

What a game. And I still get ideas on building cool little houses for NPCs. I'm glad this update kinda forced that on me instead of my rolling out the gulag for the umpteenth time.

Also basically being a rainbow space death god at the end of a full Master run is hilariously entertaining in how overpowered you really are. Love it. Really digging going with various hybrid builds around some summons, I feel like they really did flesh out that tree a lot. It's awesome.
