Are there any reason for using sonar potions? It seems like at best you get exactly as advertised, and at worst your line snaps and you know exactly what you lost. Does it help with fishing somehow?

You don't have to reel in the thing when it pops up. Just sit and wait for something you want to appear, then reel it in.

Work on my new base is coming along quite well, though i've built more towers than I know what to do with. Also I need to make my residents's rooms more thematic.

Speaking of the new water physics, it may need a bit of tweaking. On worldgen most of my jungle is flooded with huge lakes, so I decide to drain one off so I can do some landscaping. Cue about 25% of my underground jungle getting flooded and the lake hasn't dropped a loving inch. :mad:
Also I finally got sick of looking for them so I used a map viewer to find the strange plants on my world. Turns out there was only two of them, both fairly deep underground. Got Reflective Gold and Reflective Obsidian dyes, and they are the poo poo. They look so loving cool.

It can't possibly be worse than TF2's coding can it? :ohdear:

That depends on whether or not TF2's coding stores all the items in the game in a single nested if-else chain. All 3000+ of them.

Didn't he originally have a "PR guy" named Blue who was a complete disaster of a human being?

Yeah, The Best Gamers (a parody channel) gave Terraria one of their standard reviews, mostly mocking like they do with everything. He responded by trying to DMCA it, which may/may not have been illegal.
Plus the leak happened partially because someone got their hands on the copy and started trying to extort the devs with it, aka "give me this or I leak the game", and Blue's genius idea of dealing with this was to try and send the guy a virus to wreck his computer. Obviously it didn't work, and the guy was pissed and leaked the game.

Slow, IIRC unpowered, require lots of material to get more than a dozen blocks worth of track,can't run people over to kill them, did I mention slow and expensive?

Terraria gives you like 50 for one iron and one wood, Minecraft gives 16 standard rails for 6 iron and a stick.

I think that's part of what I like about Terraria vs Minecraft, there's less grind to do big builds in general. I incorporated that into mods i've designed for Starbound where I make sure players get a lot of building material, like converting one natural block into 50 build blocks. My users seem to really appreciate it, and honestly who wants to sit digging stuff out when you just want to build big cool things?

I'll be honest, if Terraria had gotten official mod support i'd have dropped Starbound modding like a big bag of doodoo and never looked back. Terraria is just objectively a superior game in every regard except modding, and even then it's just my own distrust of having to deal with third-party bullshit that makes it not shine in that area for me personally.

I just kind of can't trust third party stuff after the shitshow C&C Renegade devolved into when official support was dropped. The people who took over basically mandated that everyone install their own anti-cheat software to play the game at all - if you didn't, anyone who did have the anti-cheat basically had authority to kick you from any server without even being a moderator. It just seemed like a gigantic security hole waiting to happen on top of the whole idea just seeming skeevy as poo poo so I just didn't bother.

I get that it's a far cry between that and Terraria's mod loaders, but it still just soured me on the whole concept.

Notch's core Thing has always been greed. I remember way way the gently caress back during Minecraft's development he actually had the loving gall to suggest wanting to charge modders a subscription fee to get a "license" that allows them to make mods for the game.

I mean I decompiled Terraria once when it was in 1.1 (when the mechanical bosses were new) and the thousands of items were all stored in a single indented if/else chain. There's no loving way they still use that method in the game's current state, it was already a hellscape to look at before new stuff got added. It's not out of the question to clean the code up further if you ask me, even if it would take quite an effort to do so.

Honestly if i'd ever mod anything for this it would be expanding on already existing content. Stuff like making corrupt/hallowed jungle equivalents so the jungle doesn't just get deleted by enroachment, maybe making large amounts of underground moss into biomes of their own with their own creatures.

Why not as an alternate to the Hallow as a version of "order" instead of yet another "chaos" biome
Even makes a nice duality to meat world of Crimson as the Hallow's good world has with Corruption's evil world

I always had a rough idea in my head that the biomes are aligned along a light/dark axis, and a creation/destruction axis. Corruption is destruction because everything's rotting and decaying, Crimson is creation because everything's way too overgrown and infested. Hallow is creation because everything's super vibrant and over the top. I figured light/destruction would be something like crystallization trapping everything in stillness forever.

I looked up the turnaround in reviews because I was curious if the devs actually did anything cool this time around, and I think it's just getting a concerted effort from maybe the official forums or discord to "review bomb" it with positive reviews in order to push the "recent reviews" to Overwhelmingly Positive. Last update of any note was back in June with their 1.4 update, and yet for some reason there have been over a thousand positive reviews since the first of the month, over a 100 a day in some cases, with most of them just reading "good game and fun"

So yeah what I'm saying is Starbound's good again boys, reinstalling now

That's loving bizarre. I'd ask if that breaks any kind of steam regulations, but getting valve to do jack poo poo about anything is an exercise in futility, so...
