I found a acc. that lets you make vine ropes, a wimpy little wand and made a yo-yo.

That's about all the new stuff that I've found so far.

I wish I wasn't so poo poo at making homes. They're square box rooms with slanted ends on the far sides.

Alright I'll give that a try. Last time I played I think I had my trenches 6 or 7 blocks wide and I used stone brick (since I had thousands of stone blocks) to line it so if I can keep it narrower that'd be nice.


Do enemies no long have projectile attacks that spread corruption/hallow? Because I thought those attacks were the entire reason you line your trenches.

They took the corruption spread out back in 1.2 because it was too much.

Also did this update wipe the worlds? That's disappointing if it did, because that means we lost this world my friends and I made years ago:



Oh no these look really good. :ohdear: I hate that I have no creativity in this game since it gives you so much freedom to fool around and make great poo poo in it but damned if I can't come up with anything awesome to live in.

Please keep posting bases everyone, I'm waiting on one eventually inspiring me to copy-paste it into my own world because I've just got block rooms as it stands right now.

Anyone make anything interesting with Dynasty wood?

edit: I really wanna make a base. Like, a bar too- basically I just want it to look like people could live there and not be crazy.

Because my old attempts don't go too great.

Alright, I've been around two worlds, and I found only one of these magic sword shrines or whatever they are. I didn't know what to do with it, but smartitem told me to use my pickaxe on it, so I did, and it just shattered and nothing came out. Did I ruin my magic sword? Is one supposed to always get SOMETHING, or are some of them totally fake and do nothing?

Yeah, some are fake and some give you stuff. You did the right thing by breaking it. If it makes you feel better, I managed to find two of them but no caves so I'm going to have to just buy up a lot of dynamite or just go make a new base in a new world.

http://yal.cc/r/terrasavr/ This is an online inventory editor. Upload your .plr file and edit it, download and put it back. Works like a charm. I used to to cut out some grinding (i.e. biome keys, chlorophyte ore, souls of night/light. boss summoning items, buffing potions you get for fishing).

Since this already exists, does anyone know of a map viewer already done? I've only just now discovered where my caves were and I'm in hardmode.

Rather than agonize over what to do and never be satisfied, I'm gonna post my base and ask if anyone here has any suggestions.



I just took out the doors on the first two floors and I'm just gonna use the trap doors because the NPCs don't get stronger once you activate hardmode.

I've got to make room for another four NPCs and that'll be it.

It's sort of supposed to look like a collection of houses overlapping with each other, although I didn't quite succeed I think. It's not made of super expensive stuff, but I think it came together pretty well. My favorite part is how the Party Girl decided to move into the exterior Cask Of Amontillado room in the basement.

I like how you walled off the Clothier with stone.

Did I miss it in the OP or is there a 'newbie guide to quick starting' or something? Like a progression of what to make/get in the beginning of the game? I haven't played in forever and re-downloaded with 1.3. With approximately a billion things to get/make, it's a bit overwhelming in the beginning.

You start with a copper shortsword. The first thing you should do is cut down some trees, make a workbench, and make a wooden longsword.

Yeah, she does respawn. Eventually. If you really want her around you'll have to go back and explore all your spider caves.

You can rush in and talk to her/untie her and then rush right back out if you want; if she gets ganked by the spiders a new Stylist will soon spawn in an open house. (I learned this via watching the newly-freed Mechanic get horribly butchered.)

This applies to all of the NPCs that start off tied up/cursed. If you save them and they die, oh well, just make an extra room/house for them to live in and they'll show up.

Although now it appears the game deleted my most current save and thus all the work I put into my artificial jungle biome. Good think Tedit just updated I guess!

But this little tree nook is really cute though! If losing your save didn't mess up your base I'd love to see what the rest of the place looks like because all that granite has to be for a reason.

Looking at this treehouse, now I wish cabinets were a thing in the game too.

Anyway, next picture I'm looking for, it's a large base and off to the top right I think it's a Boreal wood house? The objective was to try and make it look like a Noir detective's place.

For new players playing solo and thinking about expert don't I ignored the warnings, it was fine until hardmode but the bosses are kill you 2-3 hits variety which while a neat challenge is much harder then I assumed it was going to be.

Having not played Expert, my Expert advice is to not play it until you've done most of the normal mode and then run through expert like a maniac shrugging off the crazy buffed boss attacks with your Beetle armor, grenade launcher, and sick yoyo tricks.

Buuuuut I'm a guy who's against nerfing late game items like the Spectre set, Vampire Knives and Red's yoyo. It's endgame, why make things less good? If it really bugs you so much you don't have to use em.

Wrong, there's clowns, and the hardmode enemies that normally spawn at night are also pretty dangerous in large numbers, especially if you are completely new to hardmode and are still wearing pre-hardmode armor.

I don't think clowns are pretty difficult to handle but, fair enough, the beginning of hardmode is pretty rough. I've lost perspective now that I've got me a Kraken.

So, what's people's preferences for Crimson vs Corruption?

I favor the Corruption, mainly because it's hardmode enemies aren't nearly as annoying.

3.) Minecart for the fight: Yay or nay?

1. Grenades

2. a full stack of Dynamite should do you fine.
