voltron lion force posted:Does expert effect world gen at all? I played for a few hours and didnt find one chest or life crystal. My starting area is a tiny bit of neutral ground with the jungle and tundra a stones throw on either side. Haven't played in awhile maybe thats just how it is these days. If you're starting right next the jungle, I'd assume so. Normally it only generates on the outer third of the map, I think?

queeb posted:Oh god I've never played this for more than 5 minutes before and now there's so much poo poo I dont even know where to start. I'm guessing the wiki is a good place to begin when trying to figure out what to do in the beginning? I found a chest and ended up with a silver pick, not sure how many tiers I skipped with that but it's pretty awesome. Ask the Guide for ideas what to do. Generally, build houses and dig into caves.

I think two Nurses will spawn if you're in multiplayer, but only one of the rest of them. And the Nurses thing might not even be true any more, it's been a very long time since I saw that happen.

Zereth posted:I haven't explored it much, does it not even have like, chests you can get Sandstorm in a Bottle and such in? Chests in the underground desert have the same loot as chests in the regular underground. Pyramid gear is still only found in pyramids (so at most one chest per world, generally).

Blackheart posted:The game now has a shitload of content even before hardmode. I'm enjoying the new world and character I made so much that I haven't even gotten to Skeletron and there is just so much fun stuff to do! I keep Starfury on my hotbar for cave-diving even now I'm into Hardmode. Also I clocked around 25 hours on this character before beating the Wall of Flesh. This game is awesome.

Eric the Mauve posted:Weird. I've gotten "you killed your 50th Black Slime!" or whatever and the accompanying banner when something just falls into lava and dies with no input at all from me while I'm digging up silt or something. Just happened two days ago with skeletons. Maybe it's different between single and multiplayer? In single player the game can credit every death to you but in multiplayer the game would need to track who is killing what, and might not be able to track projectiles that aren't directly from the player.

Nuebot posted:I really wish I could turn off events. Finally get the wizard to move back into my hard mode world. As I'm running towards him to buy some music boxes, blood moon rises and a wraith floats through the walls and murder him. Fishing crates in hardmode can now rarely contain an enchanted sundial that lets you skip one day a week. Good for skipping past unwanted moon events, though the one time I used it for a blood moon it was immediately followed by a solar eclipse... On the plus side, eclipses are supposed to be less common now.

I found a strange plant right at my base, sitting literally next to a marigold. I don't think they're restricted by dye plants. Unless the marigold grew there later and I really didn't notice the strange for that long? Sounds unlikely.

YF-23 posted:That is excellent. Nope, just 3. The thorns that grow in corruption can spread it further, but they only transmit by touch so a barrier of uncorruptible material will do. Regarding stopping the corruption in your jungle, if you've got access to the Clentaminator, just spray a thin band of Hallow at the edge of your jungle. Corruption can't corrupt Hallow and Hallow can't transform Jungle.

I've managed to fit all the ores and bars into one chest, provided I don't go over one stack of anything and I don't have both demonite and crimtane. Though I guess I haven't got Luminite yet. It only half counts since you don't mine it.

Really, you don't need to be given a weak weapon to start with, since you already have the pick and the axe. Heck, the starting axe is probably a better weapon than the shortsword.

Gadzuko posted:What's the earliest obtainable magic weapon? Is an all magic run (as in, never using melee or ranged even once) feasible? Wand of Sparks, from a surface chest, or one of the staves made from gems and basic metal. Once you get one of those all-magic is pretty feasible but you might need to kill a few slimes to reach that.

Keiya posted:Edit: never mind, apparently it was waiting for me to make a fool of myself on SA first. Literally just after posting I got one. It is a universal constant that asking for help causes problems to solve themselves. The ankh shield was no problem for me in my last game; the only item I actually ground for was the Nazar (so that I could get it before beating Plantera, when there would be so many non-skull spawns) and that didn't take too long. I had the whole thing before Plantera without waiting around for it. I don't know if I got lucky or if trying to get the Cell Phone put things into perspective. Maybe one or two of the Fisherman's info items should be things you can fish up instead? I mean, the Radar can fill that spot if you don't get one in a surface chest, but just to reduce the number of items you need to get with a one-in-forty chance once per day. Maybe make the Sextant drop rarely from blood moon enemies like the money trough. Something. They're easily the worst part of the PDA.

Cobalt/Palladium armour is good for general exploring until you get Adamntium/Titanium. Mythril/Orichalcum is a middle ground armour if you don't have quite enough for a complete set. It's much the same as how there are four metal tiers before the second pre-hardmode boss; you don't need to progress through complete sets of them all.

Bear in mind there's no penalty to having your base in Hallow, except running into tougher enemies once you're away from it. If you're seriously worried about corruption spread, just buy a hallow seed from the Dryad when hardmode starts and plant it in your base. You won't have to worry about corruption ever.

Crystal Storm and Golden Shower are both very solid spells for this stage, and craftable (the latter only in Crimson worlds). You'll also want to get hold of a Nimbus Rod during the rain.

Buttflakes posted:I can't seem to quite find the answer to this one- If it's a new world, Corruption/Crimson will slowly infect grass until it hits sunflowers or any not-grass, where it is blocked. You don't have to do anything, it'll go by itself, though it'll probably have spread as far as it can by the time you find it. Once you activate Hardmode, it will spread more aggressively, infecting stone, sand and ice, not being blocked by sunflowers, and will consume everything without intervention (though beating further bosses will slow it down).

Half the NPCs are gated in Hardmode, so you'll want a decent base for them all anyway. Might as well make it your Main world, a base isn't actually that hard to protect.

Just so it's clear, there is nothing at the end of the dungeon, nor does it have a meaningful "end". You don't have to explore the whole thing. It's just a biome that you can explore as much as you like until you get the items you want from it.

When major content patches came out I'd never been able to just continue with an old character/world to check out the extended endgame, I'd always start over. It's just easier to get back into the game when you don't have to spend a bunch of time remembering how you'd had your world set up.

No Safe Word posted:Yeah because of corruption/crimson/hallow spread I basically never don't build my home base like 10-15 blocks above the ground, air-gapped with platforms to get up there I just deliberately spread hallow into my village.

If you haven't learned it yet, breaking more altars spawns more hard mode ores, so try that if you're looking for more adamantine too.

Eschenique posted:I love this game but I didn't care for how the later invasion events depend on building mob grinders to run them. The goblin invasion for example I just ran until I "won" but the later ones are just cancelled because I ran out of time. Even though I was holding my own pretty well against the enemy hordes. The Pumpkin Moon and Frost Moon really seem built around multiplayer to chew through the enemies fast enough. The goblin and martian invasions go until you kill enough enemies but the Moon events only last until dawn. I did cheese them by setting up a multiplayer server for myself, then using the server console to keep setting it back to midnight until I'd got what I wanted. Also the Frost Moon music is great and my favourite christmas song.
