Internet Kraken posted:So I assume if I've hit silt I dug too deep at the start of the game? I ran into a pack of antlion chargers, which I'd never seen before. They completely obliterated me cause there was no way my lovely copper sword was gonna do jack to them. Naw, silt is just a whatever block. You can run it through an extractor to get gems and poo poo. If you ran into antlion chargers, you've gotten into the big antlion pit under the middle of the desert. Tin ore is maybe worth digging up. It makes some cool looking riveted metal plating if you like that sort of thing. Up to you. As to what gear to aim for, what gear do you have and what role are you wanting to play? (Fighter, Ranger, Mage, Summoner)

grimcreaper posted:Wait until you meet electronical Mr. Skeltal on hard mode. You will be a sad panda. I get the feeling that the pillars were intended to be easier if you use the spec that matches the pillar. So melee for the solar pillar, ranged for the vortex, etc. I say this because, as a ranger, i never have any trouble at all with the vortex pillar, but there's annoying mobs at all the others - the teleporting lazer eye guys at the nebula pillar, the crawlipedes and the guys that ricochet your shots back at you at the solar pillar, etc. Ever since i busted out my old turtle armor and crafted the solar whip/sword, i've not died once at the solar pillar. TL;DR - Try switching to melee for solar.

Mortvert posted:Does any of you have any idea if you can craft endless bags of non-normal ammo like silver musket balls? I can't find any info on the wiki and I'm not keen on burning throught majority of my current resources just to see if thing like that exist. Not that i've seen so far. Probably the devs intended for you to get infinite basic ammo only. Any advanced ammo gets used up. If it's an issue of cost, party rounds are cheaper than musket balls, do decent damage and have good velocity, plus they poo poo rainbow confetti all over the place so it looks like your target got wrecked by a pride parade.

This has happened several times. I've got a spare one. It's got crap stats though, you'll need to reforge it.

graynull posted:What are people finding compliments summoning builds well? I imagine most people are using magic to give them an active ranged attack that doesn't rely on specialized gear to keep your ammo/projectiles in stock. I've been messing around with some melee options as my multiplayer group approaches the end of normal mode. The Vortex beater or Phantasm with infinite ammo item or the Solar Eruption make good hard-hitting weapons that aren't reliant on mana. (to which summoner gear does not give a bonus)

Falsum posted:I don't get why people are so upset about it. Instakills you from offscreen before you're even aware it exists. As has been said, this is legitimately bad game design, particularly so in a game which offers an ironman mode. Example: I've died three times to petrify, and only survived one other time because i was in my hellevator and unpetrified before i hit bottom. At no point have i ever actually seen a medusa. I have seen medusa guts sometimes when my dragon kills them, but never once saw the living mob. On the plus side, it's almost certainly going to be fixed in a patch.

My base in my expert world isn't quite done yet, but most of the construction is finished (all but housing for the cyborg. he'll be staying in a spare room until i get some martian blocks) To the left, you can see part of a skybridge i made to try and farm up some strange plants. No luck so far. Bottom left is a glowing mushroom farm. Hit that switch on the pillar and the grass platforms retract, dumping all the mushrooms to the bottom.

 WARNING DO NOT kill the cultists on your expert mode world unless you're ready to have your poo poo locked down by the solar pillar. Their attacks all do >200 damage, the solanians reflect projectiles, you can't put your back to a wall because the corites can phase through blocks, and you can't dodge because the crawlipedes will murder you if you take to the air. I'm about to try my last strategy before calling a bunch of people to help me clear the drat thing, and then i'm never doing it again. gently caress expert mode lunar events.

All right, expert Cthulhu down. I'd like to reemphasize, for the record, that the real threats in the lunar events are the solar pillar trashmobs. Anything else can be handled by the One True God (Space Dragon) and His Prophets (Star Cells) backed by proper use of heavy firepower. I got the SDMG, and i am disappoint. loving Hollywood silencer bullshit. It sounds like a wet fart. I'm sticking with the Vortex Beater, because it speaks with loving authority.

Senor Candle posted:Why would you use other summons when you could just get a bigger space dragon? I generally go with 5 segment Space Dragon + 5 Star Cells because the Star Cells can engage multiple targets and apply considerable damage over time. But for the Moon Lord (and other bosses), i use full-power Space Dragon, because there's only one target to fight.

The Moon Monster posted:Just put a teleporter next to your nurse habitation pod and another teleporter a few screens away. Stand next to the teleporter when you fight him and medevac once you get down to 200 hp or so. If that's too cheesy for you then decelerate on your mine cart to fight and speed back up when you need to regenerate. Moon Lord's biggest weakness is that he only despawns if you die. Yeah, no more teleporting tricks. I just tested it to see what "cannot escape the star god's wrath" means, and it means he teleports on top of you. Minecart track or UFO mount only kids.

Tenbux McGee posted:Jesus friggin Christ the goblin summoner can gently caress right the hell off. That was an exercise in absurd frustration. I can't avoid him because he keeps making more and more terrain ignoring fists. Whittling down the fists takes a long time because most of my weapons are ineffective and I have to mostly ignore the regular goblins. Chasing him to make him shut the hell up massively prolongs the invasion, and the sonuvabitch usually reappeared with full health if I died trying to dogfight him. The best part, though, is getting gibbed by flying fists immediately on respawning. About three times. Consecutively. Well, i don't know what level of progression you're at, but i'm gonna assume you're in hardmode, because i don't think pirates invade in normal. (Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.) That being assumed, i'll also assume you're in early hardmode, and haven't beaten the mechanical bosses yet. If that's true, then get thee to a spider cave, and there farm the spiders for their fangs. You'll need 76 fangs in total to craft spider armor, spider staff, and queen spider staff. Then hunt down the queen bee in the underground jungle. You want the bow called Bee's Knees and/or lots of beenades (you can craft beenades from beeswax and grenades). Next time the little bastards invade, summon your spiders (you should be able to do 4 at that point), drop a queen spider turret, and start spamming beenades/bow-fired bee swarms at them. Also, litter the ground with those spikey balls they all drop. Keep to the air to dodge the summoner's fists, and watch your army of scuttling and swarming horrors devour the little fucks alive. Now practice your evil laugh, you'll need to get good at it early so that later when the One True God (Space Dragon) solos the final boss for you, you can cackle like a proper villain who lets his minions do all the work.

Now my character looks like a goddamn mess. How far up is your skybridge? It used to be that the fuckers wouldn't spawn within 350 blocks from another dye plant, which necessitated building high in space. (though that may have changed with the new patch) But i never got any spawns there either, so now i'm wondering if they won't grow on the space layer.

King Doom posted:Wait, so this new patch fucks up the use spikes and honey to kill moon lord technique? Get the UFO mount, highest summoner armor you can, Stardust Dragon staff, Vortex Beater, and several stacks of chlorophyte rounds. Summoner gear like Necro Scroll / Papyrus Scarab is a big plus. Begin by summoning the One True God to the highest level you can get him. Fly all the way to one side of the map or another on your UFO mount. Begin flying toward the center of the map and summon the Moon Lord. Continuously climb or dive while flying because your UFO mount is slightly faster than TotallyNotCthulhu whilst doing so. Learn to switch between climbing and diving rapidly to dodge random projectiles like the summoned eyes. When you see the central eye on his head open, get ready, he's a-chargin his lazor. When he fires the eye laser, fly up and over his head to outrun it. You should now be going the opposite direction as you were before. Continuously fire your Vortex Beater at him throughout the fight. I rarely drop below half life using this method and even more rarely need to pop a potion. It's all a matter of training - the more you practice, the better you'll get.
