So I walk to the left and find a living tree, instantly several NPCs move into it as soon as I Set a torch down. Guess I'll be building here. Since it's been ages since I played I have a few questions: first off is there any easy way to make infinite liquids these days? Like for decorative waterfalls and such? Secondly, what's the deal with wooden trench talk for hardmode. I never really understood that.

Internet Kraken posted:So I think I last played this game back when there was no hard mode or whatever the hell that stuff they added is. Back then I remember I spent most of my time exploring caves and poo poo looking for loot. What I'm wondering is if any of these updates added more stuff to do that doesn't involve walking into a cave and getting murdered. I like that stuff but I'm home for summer and looking for games to play with my little brother. He's absolutely terrible at games like this though and would no doubt die over and over in the caves, so I'm wondering if there's anything he could do that doesn't involve a bunch of combat but would still feel like contributing to our mutual survival. If you pick softcore you don't lose your items on death. Honestly after a point I tend to just leap into lava pits just for an easy warp back to my spawn because my inventory is overflowing with loot. There's a ton of exploration to do and bosses to kill and stuff, but a lot of this game is generally digging through different flavors of cave and gather as much loot as you can to build the fanciest home you want.

Is there any way to tell where an NPC's home is anyway? The merchant moved in I think but it'd be nice to see if his home actually qualifies as a home or not since he got stuck on a block and is just rotating in place now. At least he's safe.

victrix posted:Does worldgen ever create giant mountains? I've got some pretty big ones in the desert in my current world. Made entirely out of sand though. Anyway, how do you get the first real tier of important picks? You need shadow scales to craft it but to fight the boss that drops those you need a pick that can break the stones you need the shadow scales for.

H.P. Grenade posted:I started on normal mode so my son and I could play together but our starting position is sandwiched between underground desert (brutal) and underground arctic (slightly less brutal) with a granite biome spreading all the way under both of those (most brutal). I like the challenge but drat, the tombstones are starting to stack on each other. Yeah granite biomes are rough, especially early on since just being near them causes unlimited waves of granite golems and elementals to spawn. I got penned into an abandoned shack under ground for like twenty minutes just slowly pecking away at like fifty golems earlier. The mine cart tracks are rad though and I kind of want to see how far you can take them, like is there a limit on how vertical you can build with them and whatnot. My only issue with them is that I can't figure out how to get off of the tracks once I get on without breaking the track I'm on.

Abandoned Toaster posted:Half-blocks create a waterfall effect, so you can build a pool, hammer the edges, and presto, instant cascades! So with just a small pool you can have infinite water? That's going to be useful to know. Thanks a bunch. Regarding Expert Mode: this might be a really weird suggestion but have you killed the king slime yet? I got the Slime Mount off of him and I've just been using that to cheese pretty much everything since then. The only that's killed me since I got it have been accidental falls. Just position yourself under a ceiling and bounce off your target like you're aiming for the high score. I get the feeling expert mode is basically made for people who are either super over geared, or know every cheese tactic in the book.

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.|
Is there any way to increase your number of accessories? There are so many now I can't decide on which ones I want. If I take any of my jumping ones off, suddenly my mobility is crippled beyond any use but at the same time the mobility ones take up half the slots unless you're lucky enough to find the right stuff to combine them.

Babe Magnet posted:yeah he drops an item that you consume to gain an accessory slot, highly recommended How many of these can you use? Just one? Also the slime mount method to kill dungeon guardians works fine if you have time for it. I leapt into a corner and five of them got stuck right on the slime. It's taking a good long time but slowly and surely they're dying without getting a single hit on me.

So the wiki talks about sealing corruption and hallow in a lot as if it's something to worry about, and I've never found it a danger in the past. Did they make them spread faster or something? Or is this something I still shouldn't give a poo poo about like before?

Jet Jaguar posted:I clearly haven't played in ages--went to make a bed as I recall that changes your spawn point. But I guess you need a loom to make silk now? You can find beds under ground or in dungeons too and just steal those if you don't want to bother with a loom. You can also find looms underground and steal those. In fact I don't think I've crafted a single thing I've placed in my base yet. symbolic posted:"190 melee damage" Someone I played with online gave me one. It's amazing for blood moons when I just don't want to deal with actually trying anymore and just sit there holding it out while everything dies. I'm pretty sure the projectiles do just as much damage as the actual yo-yo its self. I used it to farm up stuff on the eater of worlds later and it was just sad, it never even hit me and just kept running straight into its own death.

Zoomed out the upper part looks like a beached, broken ship or something and I thought that looked pretty rad. Just felt like mentioning that. Anyway I finally finished farming up some rainbow dye and I have to say, I love the dye system in this game. My character is now a a winged rainbow nightmare followed by a terrible rainbow skull and a glowing rainbow ball. I just wish I could find some of those strange plants.

Bloomington posted:Medusa petrifying you from offscreen while you're in midair and dying instantly. Marble and granite biomes are rough. Started a new expert mode world with a friend and oh boy we were exploring this huge cave system that has overlapping granite, spider and marble biomes and while fending off a bunch of spiders a lone medusa just shows up and murders us both. Expert mode is fun if you don't mind dying a lot, if you're playing a medium character who drops all your items, it's just insanity.

No Safe Word posted:Pffft, it's fun to do mediumcore on expert but it helps to have friends for a while so if you die the option of wormhole potioning to your friend when you revive is an option. After a while it's easy enough to run in and grab your stuff and mirror home when you die later. If you didn't ALSO drop the stuff you had equipped I might play medium. But since you do, running back to get your stuff is even more of a pain in the rear end. It just makes it really not fun in my opinion. Even if you potion back there's a fairly good chance of getting one shot by a slime or something because now you have no armor and no weapon to defend yourself. At least I miss my gold when I lose it but if I want it back I don't have to go through an even worse run.

Eric the Mauve posted:Eh. They're too drat common. I mean they're kinda cool and dangerous and different but in practice what happens is you can never ever safely jump anywhere near a marble biome, you can only use your hook to get around or every jump is risking instant unavoidable death. Once the novelty's worn off it gets to feeling kind of bullshit. I wish their gaze was an actual projectile or something because it loving sucks to be turned to stone under water by something that's off screen when you don't even know you're near a marble biome.

The Moon Monster posted:I'm convinced I'm somehow triggering an anti-cheating program or something. I just had my moon lord prism summoning staff disappear less then a minute after starting the game and doing nothing but rearranging my accessory slots. I was able to get it back by alt-f4ing since I actually noticed it happen this time. I cheat out my rear end. After farming up some rainbow dye I now have 99 of every common dye and I routinely give myself 999 torches because going back to the surface for wood is for chumps and have yet to have it affect that. I think the game just shits its self sometimes.

Eric the Mauve posted:Marble caves seem common enough that likely as not wherever you try to build a hellevator you're going to run through (or at least near) one. Which means like a third of the time at least when you try to use it you are going to die. They don't even have to be on your screen, is the worst part. I've been killed in an ice biome because a medusa from a tiny, tiny square of a marble biome was hosed off somewhere I couldn't even see and turned me to stone, causing me to fall through some ice into the water and drown. I love playing the "find the medusa" game before you get killed through stone. Freezing is a lovely status effect too. I don't know why they love completely cutting off your mobility in games where you're entirely dependent on it for your survival.

Million Ghosts posted:Hmm if I didn't know any better I'd guess you are being extremely salty over this It's a legit bad design. Even if you don't die from fall damage, it holds you in place for like ten seconds or more and as far as I'm aware there's noway to stop or reduce it so you get hosed by anything in the nearby area. If that wasn't bad enough they can happily petrify you immediately after you unpetrify too.
