The destroyer doesn't have any specific weak points (hitting lights on segments vs. lights off segments is the same damagewise) but any weapon that does splash damage or pierces will do well because it'll hit multiple segments.

Xenaero posted:Crimson is a nice change of pace from the Corruption. Does it also have an enemy I need to be careful about leading places? Corruptors always induced a small panic when their shots hit ground outside the containment zone. Not anymore, and corruptors can't spread the corruption anymore anyway.

I've been using exclusively the Hood and it worked well until the Pillars. It's useless against the Moon Lord. The one that heals is incredibly useful in multiplayer.

Keiya posted:not gonna work for me... there's about three or four blocks between my two corruptions for my surface jungle. It takes the corruption an extremely long time to convert even a small amount of jungle - in order to convert it it has to randomly remove the jungle grass and then randomly convert the now-bare mud into dirt before the jungle grows back over it. The corruption will not eat your jungle unless you leave your computer on running terraria 24/7 for weeks.

Agent Kool-Aid posted:work your way up to adamantite/titanium gear, making sure to make a new pick for each 'new ore' tier so you can mine the better ones. that stuff will pretty much become your baseline of what you want for the next set of bosses. You're going to be spelunking for the new ores again. Once you get mythril/orichalcum, the best place to find titanium/adamantite is actually the roof of hell - hell, ironically, is the safest place in the world in hardmode.

Section Z posted:Could you inform my ignorant self why building close to the origin is bad? Does the original spawn telefrag parts of the building away if you die without a bed spawn/you use it for multiplayer? As for having to move out, would bolting on the 20ish rooms total for NPC houseing just be too bulky for what you are going for? The origin point is where pirate/goblin invasions congregate, so if your base is right there and you don't take steps to keep your NPC areas invasionproof then every time one of those invasions comes in your NPCs will get murdered.

That's why my base in my current singleplayer world is underground. Don't have to deal with any of that poo poo, and after spending 10 minutes and ~60 sticky bombs blasting a channel around it I won't have to deal with crimson or hallow once hardmode starts either.

It won't spread until you've killed the wall of flesh, and even then it's basically a nonissue unless A) your base is underground, B) you play extremely slowly and leave the game on while also not making any progress for literal IRL weeks, or C) you're a humongous sperg who doesn't want the world to change at all if it's not you doing the changing.

Basically just have to hold down the mouse button. Also press control once to turn on smart place, which will make it so it tries to follow terrain and also only places it touching existing track.

Judgement posted:I actually went out of my way to seed various parts of my world with corruption because I wanted a dumb super corrupt gimmick world, and I still barely had any noticable growth beyond what was already there. Unless you're running on a persistent world server or otherwise leave your game going for really long periods of time, you pretty much never have to actually worry about that poo poo. I really don't get it either. It's one thing to worry about the jungle, but apparently people are worried about the rest of the world too. Which I don't get - I usually deliberately spread a bunch of hallow as soon as hardmode starts so that there's more places to get crystal shards and pixie dust.

whiteshark12 posted:The second one, I've terraformed quite a lot of the area around my base in the world I made when 1.2 was new and I was curious as to what it looked like to start with. The problem with that is that unless you have access to the 1.2 client, regenerating the world with that seed wouldn't give you the same world because world generation has changed.

Roshambo posted:Is there an efficient way to get souls of light? I tried making a meteor biome underground in the hallow, but everything but the meteors seemed to drop souls and at a very low rate. Most things you can force to spawn have been hardcoded to not drop hardmode items (souls, keys, whatever) so your best bet is to just excavate a large area with nooks and crannies around the edges for things to spawn in. Drink a battle potion and place water candles to boost the spawn rate. President Ark fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Jul 27, 2015 |

I actually killed the twins on normal mode in mythril gear with some hallowed-level weaponry, and what enabled it for me is there was a little tunnel I could run through and it turns out - despite going through walls - if there's a solid wall in between you and him, spazmatism won't shoot fire at you. So every time he was spraying fire I'd run in circles through that area so he'd constantly be blocked and worthless while hitting him with a yoyo.

It also can't affect more than the surface layer, because corrupt/crimson grass can't exist on dirt deeper than the surface layer.

RatHat posted:Yeah this isn't true. When I killed Wall of Flesh the Crimson patch went right next to my jungle and was slowly taking it over. It did seem to get stopped at a certain point but it was definitely spreading underground. Well, yes, it'll spread through stone. But if it's just mud all it can do is convert it to dirt, it cannot subsequently grow crimson in it. It will also be able to spread immediately below the surface but it won't be able to spread below where the background changes the first time, which is the first "real" underground layer. There's basically nothing of consequence in the jungle above that point anyway. President Ark fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Aug 10, 2015 |

They really have to spread at harder angles and have a 0% chance of going anywhere near the center of the map. Chuck some holy water at it until it changes to hallow, then. NPCs don't give a poo poo about hallow.
