euphronius posted:Can anyone in spoilers or not give me uh a big picture thing to do. I have a house and am looking for ores in the level where there is no walls. Like the next 3 -5 things I should do. Thank you. Solo classic small map (huge was too big) 1. find ores and hearts. get at least silver or gold armor (for a first-time player) and a good weapon that can do mid-to-long range, or a shitload of throwing knives. get a grappling hook; you can either make one with a chain and a hook or with gems. (if you're lucky you might get one as a random drop, there are a bunch of grappling hook variants in the game) 2. kill the eye of cthulhu to get the components for better weapons. to summon him, either reach high enough health (i think 200-220?) or craft the item at a demon/crimson altar with lenses dropped by demon eyes. the eye moves around a lot and tends to hover at range, this is why you got the ranged weapons or throwing knives. 3. get enough housing available so you get the dryad and/or demolitionist to move in, which you'll need for the next bit. 4. go to your world's evil (corruption/crimson) and destroy shadow orbs/crimson hearts. to reach them either use bombs/dynamite (from the demolitionist) or purification powder (from the dryad). destroying 3 will summon another boss, so stop at 2. take the equipment you got. if you got a gun, make more housing for another NPC; if you got a magic weapon (thorn rod or the crimson rain rod) that will be a big help against the next boss. 4b (OPTIONAL). wait a bit for a meteor to land and dig it up for a very good earlygame magic ranged set and weapon (the meteory armor & space blaster), good tools, and pretty good melee weapons (the phasesabers). 5. if you have corruption, buy a shitload of grenades from the demolitionist; make the best armor you can (you may need to kill eye of cthulu a few more times; craft more eyes if you do, once you've killed it once it stops freely spawning after 200-220 HP) and take on the next boss. grenades will chump the corruption boss (they're somewhat decent against the crimson boss but not as much), and the magic weapons from either biome's loot item are also very good against them. at this point the world's your oyster and you're probably free to explore the dungeon, jungle, or hell; if you go with the latter, be careful not to kill 'voodoo demons' carelessly, as the item they drop will, if it falls into lava, summon the boss that makes the world change into hard mode President Ark fucked around with this message at 03:19 on May 19, 2020 |

euphronius posted:Thank you. I’ll save that and use it. With respect to 1 what is the best way to do that. I’ve just been blindly digging through the area under ground level (no walls) try and stick to caves, digging around will find you stuff but caves are huge in this, so explore in there, leave torches so you know where you've been grappling hooks, platforms, and ropes are a big help for getting around and if you find a chest with a magic mirror treasure it forever e: and this game is definitely from the era when you were pretty much expected to be using guides or wikis or have watched a video, so don't be afraid to look up wikis.

also i'm gonna be real if you generated a medium-or-larger world start over on small! The worlds in this are gigantic and all doing an above-medium world will do is make there be more empty space between things. Once you know what you're doing and know how to get around and are doing more intricate builds maybe play on a medium or large world, but for a single person small is a perfect size. I know there's lots of people who are worried about running out of stuff on small worlds but it won't happen to a new player unless you're going out of your way to do it, and I mean "going horizontally across a world with dynamite at a vertical level bombing everything and dumping lava on the drops then digging down and going back again like the world's worst typewriter"

Velius posted:I helped my boys get to hardmode but haven’t done much with it on my own. Is the contamination spread fast enough that firewalling everything is needed? My jungle in the world I’m trying to keep pretty and nice is surrounded on both sides by corruption, to the extent that I’d have to cut out a bunch of jungle and make a lot of slow sideways cuts. I expect once I start hard mode I can get the clentaminator pretty quickly, but I’ve never actually used it to know what the trade offs are in using it. HARDMODE EVIL CAN'T DESTROY THE UNDERGROUND JUNGLE BECAUSE BIOME GRASS DOESN'T GROW UNDERGROUND. IT CAN ONLY DAMAGE THE SURFACE JUNGLE AND SLIGHTLY ALTER THE EDGES

Cuntellectual posted:I'm fairly sure the spawn can because my underground jungle housing turned invalid because it was in an evil biome. the first time you kill the wall of flesh two giant stripes of your world's evil and the hallow appear in a big "v" shape and if that intersects the jungle it'll overwrite it, but it won't spread from there and no amount of terraforming can prevent it from happening, it's basically just dumb luck e: and even then, i'm pretty sure this initial stripe will only corrupt stone, it can't do anything to subterranean mud because again biome grass doesn't grow underground, so you'll wind up with a stripe of jungle with a bunch of corrupted rocks embedded in the walls that can't spread e2: look at this fuckin' map i found here. do you see how much fuckin' jungle there is even with the surface jungle completely gone and the corruption stripe intersecting it? it's because the underground jungle is immune! stop worrying about it and wasting your time on giant terraforming projects! the underground jungle is fine, you can't lose it!

Peachfart posted:This is both correct and wrong. Except biome-specific grass other than the mud ones (jungle grass and mushroom grass) can't spread underground. Have you ever seen corruption grass in the cave layer ever? No, just corruption/crimson biomes made entirely of stone with bare-rear end dirt patches scattered around. Because the biome grass only grows on the surface. And you know what the jungle is? Almost entirely mud with very little stone. So while on the surface, the process goes 1. The corruption removes the grass from the mud 2. The corruption turns the mud into dirt 3. The corruption grows grass on the dirt 4. Repeat with the next tile, underground it's 1. The corruption removes the grass from the mud 2. The corruption turns the mud into dirt 3. loving nothing happens because corrupt grass doesn't grow underground. Like, don't you think it's funny that despite everyone being terrified of this happening, there's never been a screenshot of the underground jungle fully corrupted? I can't find one. Because they don't exist. Because it can't happen. And that wiki you posted proves me right! quote:Grass does not spread below the surface whatsoever.

Dreamsicle posted:drat just went to my snow biome for the first time in hardmode and it seems the corruption "V" pattern completly consumed it. Besides having to put the NPCs who like snow in another biome, will I have to worry about anything else like eventually losing snow biome enemies? I still see wolves and ice elementals, but I'm not sure if they'll go away. no, since unlike surface jungle crimson/whatever turning desert or snow biomes results in "crimson/whatever snow" instead of turning it into regular-rear end dirt; crimson/whatevering those biomes just overlays new spawns into them but the old stuff remains

definitely take the time to get up the hardmode metal tech trees before trying the hardmode bosses; whereas in normal mode it's pretty easy to start doing bosses without getting gold or even silver armor, in hardmode damage starts rising dramatically and the way armor works in the game means that even a small armor deficit really hurts*, so you want every bit you can get you may even want to talk to the goblin tinker and reforge all your trinkets into warding (+4 defense) forms. potions help a bit, thankfully the two best potions for your survivability are very easy to make (daybloom and iron/lead gives +8 defense, daybloom and a yellow mushroom gives more health regen), and the third-best isn't much harder (it's a fish from the cavern layer plus... blinkroot i think); for when you actually fight bosses you should make the potion that gives you more max health which needs a fish from the hallow (prismite?) and a bunch of herbs also if you're on a crimson world, real quick start a corruption expert world and kill the eater of worlds for an extremely good trinket that just makes you take ~20% less damage *it's just straight subtraction with a small % modifier depending on your difficulty level (armor matters more on higher difficulties, on lower ones there's more give to the numbers), so if an enemy hits for 100, 100 defense means it does almost nothing to you, 90 means it's dealing 10 a hit and might be a threat if you're careless, 80 means it only has to hit you 20 times to kill you, and so on President Ark fucked around with this message at 20:24 on May 26, 2020 |

I've seen "unconscious man" and "bound woman" a couple of times on my Lifeform Analyzer, but every time I've gone to look for them, going backwards and forwards then up and down, they disappear before I can find them. Are they getting killed before I can find them? Do I have the blood of innocent tavernkeeps and stylists on my hands? they can get killed and i know the stylist can be a pain because she spawns in spider dens and tends to get eaten by spiders your best bet is bomb out some tunnels in an area (use scarab bombs, combine bombs and desert fossils, they dig like 3x20 tunnels very fast), light everything up, and just stay still until the lifeform analyzer lights up President Ark fucked around with this message at 01:58 on May 27, 2020 |

But I can’t go long before we swap to corruption either left or right, and when I hit the threshold she frenzies and it’s lights out. I probably just need to make a bedroom and teleport back to my arena.
