Hey I just started playing this game because I've owned it for like years and have only played 10-ish minutes of it prior to today. It's pretty fun and chill. There are a poo poo ton of materials and I have no idea what any of them do but I'm slowly figuring it out as I go. Here is my lowly First House Ever. I am considering adding a second floor.

Wil do. I am currently swinging around a cactus that I made out of other felled cacti, which while it is funny, is not very useful. I'm assuming to get NPCs to move in all I have to do is have a free

It's a "massive" cactus sword too, so it's like more than twice as big as my dude. I got killed by a granite dude, but that led me to discover the chillest shroom zone. Down here I have so far killed a bat which dropped a depth meter and a random skeleton with a mining hat that dropped a bone pickaxe. I feel like a real badass. edit: holy poo poo this bone pickaxe is nuts, it's got the "murderous" modifier so it swings really fast. I am mining at speeds yet unseen in my Terraria experience

 Significant progress has been made. My trip through the mushroom caves brought me much phat loot and now I have a merchant! I feel very proud of this accomplishment. I am moving up in the Terraria world. edit: Question, torches seem a bit wimpy in the light they produce (I mean look at the light in those houses), will I be able to craft torches that give off more light at some point? Or should I do some renovations and just make some background wall windows? CJacobs fucked around with this message at 21:13 on May 17, 2016 |

I haven't messed with explosives yet because I'm afraid of blowing myself up, but I've got a pretty big stockpile sitting around so I may as well use them for some mining or something.

 Hey so a Nurse moved into my little apartment complex, but on her way there she seems to have decided to take a dip in the nearby pond and got stuck. She's just sitting here throwing arrows (?) at nothing and getting healed for 10 hp every tick so she cannot drown. I can talk to her, but she won't move. What do I... do about this?

Tenebrais posted:Try digging her a ramp out of the pool, on the side of her house. I don't know if it'll work but it's worth a try. She won't be able to jump up that cliff edge. It was the latter, she stood around in the water too long or something and ran out of air, so she started healing herself, but because she was drowning her health was going down as fast as she was healing it.  flowinprose posted:Build a house she can live in, assign it to her, and then move far away off screen at night and she will respawn inside her house. I did this and it worked, thanks. An interesting little quirk, that.

RareAcumen posted:Grenades don't destroy blocks and, as far as I remember, they're great for combat too so give those a shot. If you happen to gently caress up and throw one, at least you won't have to worry about breaking anything. You might kill yourself but that happens, it's fine. I went with small because I remember it still being pretty big. Having seen it, I'm glad I did because I cannot imagine how big a large-sized one has to be.

I'm glad you are enjoying my trip reports, I really like this game. Initially I think the reason I didn't stick with it is because the beginning is pretty slow, but once it gets going it doesn't slow back down. I am making progress on my housing project, a couple new NPCs have moved in. The gunsmith dude appears to be macking on the nurse and I don't know if I approve of this fraternization. Forums user and good friend of mine Blind Sally showed me his fuckin nuts world and all his sick endgame stuff including a popemobile with lasers that can mine faster than anything I've ever seen, so now I know what I have to look forward to in the future. Question: Is there a way to make trees grow faster? I don't much care for sitting around waiting for them to grow so I can have more wood to expand my houses.

dis astranagant posted:Create new worlds and go on a mass deforestation campaign. That works for me! And that's interesting, I'd never considered the possibility of making new worlds with my same character just for mining more resources. I'll have to keep that in mind.

 Now we're cooking! I fought cthulu('s eye) and got phat demonite piles, then went all the way to the left and found a dungeon that appears to be between a fuckmillion and infinity feet deep, and I made some cool Megaman X-looking armor. I also fought a bigass skeleton. Even though I didn't get much for it, defeating cthulu's eye was pretty rewarding because it felt like I really earned it through using all the poo poo I've accumulated so far. Now I need to decorate the houses of all my new edit: Regarding the skeleton, I think I might have fought it early? In front of the dungeon there was an old man and I picked 'curse' which I assumed would be "talk about a curse that exists in this dungeon that you are standing right in front of", but I guess my guy instead cursed him. I'm not sure what I was supposed to do there. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 11:42 on May 18, 2016 |

I mean, I won, so v vOnce I took out the arms it seemed completely defenseless so I just wailed on it. I also used the hidden secret technique passed down through many generations known as "running the gently caress away" when I got low on health. I will explore the corrupted area some more once I'm done loving around in the dungeon. AnimalChin posted:Why did I wait so long to get into this game? My houses look good pretty much by accident so don't feel too bad.

Came back better prepared and kicked its rear end.   Now I look like a huge badass in my ninja/shadow armor combo. So uh, now what do I do to advance the game state? I have officially run out of direction.

Blind Sally posted:Yes, it can! Fuuuuuuckkk dis astranagant posted:They can also land down the bottom of the corruption chasms, or even out in the ocean. Crap. Well I guess it's time to check everywhere then. Also, house update:  Still need to redecorate. Waiting for more occupants. A painter lives in the bottom rightmost house but he likes to just wander off sometimes for some reason. edit: I feel like the clothier's portrait of himself (?) is a bit narcissistic but I'm willing to let him keep it as long as he doesn't turn into a skeleton again.

You can use a few pieces to make a skull trinket which will prevent you from being set on fire.

My house appears to unfortunately be right in between the stripes it generated. The water all around the surrounding area is a nice healthy purple color now.  I will look for some altars to smash. edit: aaaaa I just went under my house and the tunnels underneath are already full of purple gunk shiiiiit piiiiissss CJacobs fucked around with this message at 16:43 on May 18, 2016 |

I broke a ton of the altars. The monsters appear to be significantly more riled up now that I'm in hardmode but I'm a huge badass so it was no big issue.  I'm assuming now I should be a) building more houses for all these drat NPCs I'm probably about to meet and b) finding these new ores that I've just magic-ed in. edit: I now have a sick-rear end chainsawedit again: Aww it's a tool what the gently caress. Ah well at least I have a bunch of palladium left over. I got lucky and some spawned like right outside the tunnels next to my house.

The ensuing threat of gross purple and/or shiny happy destruction of my pretty house has messed up my concentration. I'm kind of bummed that there's essentially nothing I can do about it. On the bright side I have cool armor now.

Well I was invaded by pirates and they are presently owning the poo poo outta me. I do not feel I had time to adequately prepare for the violation I am currently experiencing. edit: Well I fended them off. I don't seem to have even gotten anything out of this experience, it was just annoying.  I mean, I got an eyepatch and a trophy for blowing up the flying dutchman, so that's something.

Eh, a couple gold apiece is not bad. I haven't found very many uses for money though so far, so I'm not sure how valuable coins really are. edit: It did net me my first platinum coin though so that's something.

I guess I'll keep coveting my gold then. I haven't found the tinkerer yet, but then I haven't been underground very much since going to hardmode because everything is fucksville now. I did find a cutlass on the ground that I guess dropped from a pirate or the ship, and it's surprisingly effective, so I'll take that as my real reward for persevering.

Oh god this game has brown recluses. Sorry Stylist but it looks like I will never acquire your services. Casa de Jacobs update:  After freeing the Tinkerer (he was in the dungeon) I did some expanding to give him a place to live. Thanks to the recent pirate invasion my NPCs are all over the drat place but I'm too lazy to go out at night and reset their positions. I have completed a loop going under the house so that I don't have to spend the extra time jumping over the thing every time I just want to pass by. I think it's starting to shape up into a pretty nice place!

Wrist Watch posted:Oh yeah, CJacobs have you considered building an arena? Pre-hardmode it's not really necessary but it helps quite a bit in hardmode. Sweet, I'll find some space and try this out. Maybe next time I get a pirate invasion it won't be such a shitfest.

Yeah, I found a yoyo called Amarok in the snow biome just after going to hard mode and it's served me pretty well, only having been just usurped by the cutlass I got from the pirates. Blind Sally also gave me one but I shelved it because it felt like cheating early on. vv

 I decided to learn how to make mods for this game. The code for tmodloader and the code for the vanilla game are both an absolute nightmare but it's very rewarding to get something working right.

It is, yes. There's also a pretty funny lack of foresight on the devs' part in regards to the naming of armor items. In the vanilla game files, armor is just named "Armor_(ID #)_(body part)", so "Armor_1_Head", et cetera. The problem is that they made male and female body parts use different sprite sheets instead of combining them, so all of the female armors are named "Female_Body_1" and so on.

Basically they made 2 files for every arm, body, head, and legs for some reason when they only needed one, and then because of that they had to name them in a silly way to bubblegum-and-duct-tape their way to victory.
