tip
The start of my castle. Havent even planned anything out yes, just pushing it upwards, its taking forever.
>>135838102
You are quite the madman, good luck with that
also
>raw stone
>>135838867
Yea, I like it. Maybe next time Ill mine a few worlds and make a castle out of raw gold.
>>135839014
you could just turn that stone into slabs or bricks and mix them, what are you planning on placing there?
and what you against bling?
>>135839220
I like like the look of raw stone. Makes it look old. The real problem is no 2 brick wide doors. That I know of.
>>135839742
Maybe Ill have to make everything 3 wide.
>>135839742
Try not using only one kind of block, it just ends up not looking good.
What are some good magic weapons for expert fishron? all I have is a spectre staff, golden shower and magical harp.
>>135843886
Razorpine/blizzard staff, try the frost moon and get the weapon from the early spawns
Also, do the ayy lmaos for the UFO
>>135843886
The spectre staff is a great choice, especially since it's homing. Golden Shower is useful too: hit him with it once to inflict the ichor debuff, then switch to a higher-damage weapon.
>>135849826
Nice! Now someone should get khaios to recreate the ENTIRE cave system from the Goonies!
Servers up. Pre-Plantera characters.

Hey, kind of a newfag, what is the best way to make a storage system?
>>135859132
Chests by whats inside. Herbs in one, ores in another, weapons, tools, ect. Get different chests for different things, like all your fishing chests could be the sea chests.
>5 hours

just give up your dead general already fags
>>135831956
>come back to general 6 months later
>even deader than pre-1.3
>>135862024
The hype for 1.3 is what kept us going. Without the anticipation of a big update, there's not a lot to post about.
>>135859132
Store materials close to their related crafting stations. For instance, ores next to the furnace and anvil, potion ingredients next to the bottle or alchemy table. That way you can just open the chest and craft straight from there.
You can also paint chests to color-code them, which I find pretty useful. Green for plants, gray for stone, etc.
I remember when this general was a bustle of unconventional creations. Most were shit with some gems thrown in.
Now it's just the last 3 turbo autists left making pixel art out of painted blocks.
Fucking dead game.
I started a new character today, expert mode. I've killed the Eye and failed an attempt on the eater of worlds.
Anyway, the problem is that my base is a complete mess. At what point do you guys decided that it's time to build your "real" base? Tearing it all down and moving my chests seems like a major pain, and I don't have the building tools yet, but I think the build is only going to get harder as I get more stuff.
>>135868313
personally, just before hardmode
>>135868313
I never build a "real" base.
I try to keep my chests relatively organized.
Nothing else really matters.
>>135868313
My base is always a jumbled mess. I just try to keep everything in the same general area so it's all where I can easily access it. I build nicer houses for the NPCs around when I start hardmode, but my base is always butt ugly.
>>135854403
>not saving the one with the hobo sleeping on the bench
>>135868313
If you just want to survive, go commie blocks and a storage room with an optional battle tower for easy farming during bloodmoons/invasions.
If you want something pretty without being zerged by hardmode, transfer mats to a new world with a new char and keep it at pre-cthulu health with all your mobility items and fancy tools.
The builders workshop save can help with this unless you'd rather use only mats you've harvested yourself.
At the very least take some time to organize your storage. It only gets more painful as you progress.
I want to see what people do with >tmodconfig

>>135900945
Who stole the leaves?
>>135900997
TheTruffle did it
>>135900945
I like it.
I just got to Hard Mode for the first time. When I break the Alters, does the Ore just randomly pick spots to fill?
>>135905883
Yep, same RNG process as everything else. Gotta hunt it down with those Spelunker potions. Oh, and the more altars you break, the more ore appears. Just be careful: every broken altar randomly changes one tile somewhere in the world to corruption/crimson/hallow, which then spreads from that spot.
>>135905883
Don't break altars, just fish.
Let it go.
>>135920491
Fuck, that's disgusting. The originals were 1000 times better than that.
>>135923089
>gif
>>135923580
What the fuck happened to the shadows?
>>135924221
A bloodmoon had just started before I cap'd it. Maybe that's what your referring to?
The lack of creative mode hurts
>>135941574
There's always tEdit, at least.
>>135941757
Too bad I have GOG version
>>135942361
Does that version save world differently from the steam version?
>>135946517
Cute.
I kinda miss the lizardposting.
>>135942504
No, but lots of mods and tweaks require steam dll to function properly
>>135950802
tEdit isn't a mod. It's map editor.
>>135950910
I get missing textures. And people say it needs steam install. Gameiki mod needs steam version too.
>Spore sac in the dungeon
Why do people not use this again? one spore does almost 120 damage
How is the starbound compared to terraria btw?
Any legit criticisms?
>>135951395
It's shit. Pirate it and see for yourself.
>>135952973
Anon, I don't think 100k players in last 2 weeks vs 600k players in terraria is exactly shit. I just asked what the differences and for what to be prepared for.
>>135951395
It looks prettier and there's planets n' shit
Terraria wins in everthing else
>>135950802
If you happen to need it, pirate the steam version and place it in the appropiate folder
>C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Terraria
create any folder that doesn't exist, fuck all those faggots with muh "Steam only :^)" policy
>>135931101
No. You obviously converted the gif to png, but the png's shadows are fucked up.
>>135951181
The same thing happened to me, too. I simply had to move the installation directory to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common
Once I moved the terraria folder there, voila, textures appeared. That was back in 1.2.4.1, though. I assume it should still work now.
>>135954243
What part of "it's shit" don't you understand? The fucking game is 4 years overdue from it's initial release date, it's missing a shitton of features that were promised to us and you still require 4 GTX 980 Ti with 32 GB of RAM in order to run the game at a stable 60 fps.
The pillars would be alot more fun if this little shit wasn't around
>>135956732
Yeah yeah it's literally worst game ever, sure
>>135963247
Are you merely pretending to be retarded? If you're the faggot who asked what the game was like, then go fucking pirate it and see for yourself already.

>Starbound

was getting caught part of your plan?
thinking of starting a summoner expert playtrough with bows as my off-hand and some utility magic
how fun would it be? which points would be the most troublesome?
It's a pity that we have a limit of only 10000 pixels.
Expert mode sucked the fun out of Terraria for me desu.
>>135965084
>how fun would it be? which points would be the most troublesome?
If it's your thing, it'll be fun, with bows there's no point that would be extremely troublesome
Go away, tiy.
Why is Starbound so garbage?
Like, how did all of >>135956732 even happen?
>>135968730
Artists making a game, sure, it looks pretty but as a game, it's as deep as a flat rock
>>135963247
I've never played Starbound so I can't really speak to its quality, but going by user reviews is fucking dumb. People have terrible taste and will rate anything a 10/10.
>tfw when World has almost NO Crimson
>Except smack dab in the middle of the snow biome
And I'm 10 hours in this World. Fuck I'm mad. Also some near the Jungle but it's just next to it so I can always just build a hellevator.
>>135976134
Why does everybody get so mad at crimson corrupting the snow? you miss on nothing and can get the pigron mount
>>135976989
I guess you do have a point there, but I just don't like how it's literally in the middle of it. It's a total pain in the ass.
>>135976989
I used to be mad that the Crimson/Corruption would always fuck up my snow biome, until I had it completely fuck up my jungle. It's by far preferable to have the snow corrupted.
>>135976989
It looks ugly
Anything else I need for moonman?

Plebs. Corruption world, pre-Hardmode, Expert. FOUR (4) corrupt areas, 1 of which is is the Snow biome, TWO of which are in the jungle biome. Curiously, none in the Desert biome, when it usually infests the Underground Desert area for me.
>>135988879
Oh, forgot to mention it's a Large world. I'm masochistic like that.
I'm right before starting the Cultist fight but I'm bored as fuck because I don't want to do it yet
What else can I do familia?
>>135956335
actually, the ping is the original, only renamed. the lighting in there is a bit excessive though, even in game.
the rooms and furnishings are kinda off balance, so i guess i overcompensated by balancing the light levels.
symmetry is a terrible habit to break
>>135988879
Four is quite normal for large worlds
also, you are getting the V when entering hardmode, which will rape your jungle 50% of the time
>>135995147
Agreed, I've had that happen. I'll be quarantining the corrupt areas in the jungle, but I'll also have to dig a hellevator to try to at least preserve some of it in case it gets raped at hardmode generation time.
Post your archnemesis.
>>135998947
Hate those fuckers! I always find a high platform the moment I see them so I can snipe them from above. The javelin tossers are almost as annoying.
Took far too long to realize why I was only getting jungle keys. Pic related.
>>135998947
I hate those cunts too.
>>135999369
I don't get it. Shouldn't you be getting Corrupt and Snow keys as well?
Duke Fishron's my archnemesis. He's so damn fast that you have to spend extra time to get equipment that helps you dodge him, but he's also so strong that you need end-game weapons and armor to have even a chance at beating him.
He's killed my characters more often than I care to remember.
>>135999832
>he's also so strong that you need end-game weapons and armor to have even a chance at beating him
I wish I had videoanon's videos saved.
Whatever happened to that guy?
stuuuuuuuu i'm borrrrrrrred
bring up the server plsssssssss
>>135999618
I'm pretty sure that the hollow and the corrupt are canceling each other out, so at the very best I would be getting tundra keys and jungle keys.
Still haven't gotten a tundra key though, but I may just be impatient.
>>135999374
I miss GitGudAnon.
>>136000702
Pretty sure the corruption/crimson just override the hallow, so you should be able to get their keys.
>>135999832
>you need end-game weapons and armor to have even a chance at beating him.

Thanks! Either way I will replace the hallow and set up a separate farm for that. Hopefully the other keys will eventually drop.

What did I do to deserve this fate?

This game seriously needs a way to cancel or prevent these events. Every fucking time you try to build something: A SOLAR ECLIPSE IS HAPPENING, THE BLOOD MOON IS RISING, SLIME IS FALLING FROM THE SKY.

I love the look of the glowing mushroom biome during a blood moon, the bright purple glow. What other items glow purple like that? I'd make my base out of the stuff but I hate those asshole bulb spitters with the wavy pollen shit.
>>136025996
maybe some endgame items that prevent mobs from spawning
>>135977349
What happens if the jungle gets corrupted? You can't get any more planteras or something?
>>136044542
It gets completely overwritten, so yes.
Takes forever for it to get to that point unless the evil spawns directly in the jungle or the stripe passes over it.
You know what this game could use? Moremimics.
>>136047734
I just want Shadow Mimics to drop something unique.
>>136047734
What it needs is something I call Mimic Run. A timed run through a large tunnel with mimics of various kinds spaced throughout. Doesn't matter if you kill 'em, just be fast. This would give people a reason to keep around movement-enhancing gear.
>>136049053
How would that even work in a game like Terraria? Seems like it strays too far from general play.
what do?
>>136051626
Embellish the shrine.
>>136052343
but i suck a building pretty things...
or is this like some builder hero moment?
This is terribly distressing. I'm no builder; I can barely keep the storage room sorted.
>>136053167
Turn to the wisdom of the ancients. Learn their techniques.Copy shamelessly from the fancy folder.
I seem to have met with a terrible fate...
It must be protected.
>>136044542
>What happens if the jungle gets corrupted? You can't get any more planteras or something?
There's that, and the fact that when you try to purify the corrupted jungle, the clentaminator turns it to dirt and regular grass, not mud and jungle grass. It's a huge pain in the ass.
>>136058130
I still don't understand why they didn't make variants of the jungle like almost every other biome. I want my virulent hellhole, damn it.
>>136029598
Progress is still going, slow but steady
Here, have a paladin armor
>>136056249
What's the bottom right one?
I need advice, been fucking forever since the last time i played Terraria but my strategies feel extremely slow paced and repetitive, i know there are tricks to skip stuff, things you can craft early ingame to not make your house look like shit, tricks to get certain NPCs faster, i can do better during hardmode but my pre-hardmode performance is beyond awful
in other words, i need some tips to spice up the game, no challenges and shit, more like small little things mostly related to building and progression most players seem to miss, actually good looking or useful items people forget, stuff like this, i bet you all have personal stories to share considering how much time you put into this game
>>136064823
One of the best strategies by far is getting some bombs, destroy a shadow orb and wait for a meteorite to fall.
Alternatively, fishing lets you skip several tiers of ore and can yield powerful tools and weapons for the early game/early hardmode, but it's boring as fuck.
>>136065853
I've been doing this for my past few runs. After playing expert, regular mode seems so much easier. My first day I usually gather a bunch of wood, run across some of the surface to find some chests, then near night I start building houses.
Next day I kill a few slimes, make some torches, and head down until I get some bombs. Make some sticky bombs, get to the crimson/corruption things and break two of the orbs.
>>136062486
Just a fan idea for crimson deathweeds

If it's that extensive, the only choice is to get the Clentaminator and spam the green solution. You're going to need A LOT of cash for that, either spend time farming up at least 2 platinum, or cheese it and go to work with the clentaminating.

Purchase the clentaminator from the NPC that spawns after defeating a mech boss
Shoot that shit around the corruption (use all ammo reduction bonus you can get!)
How do I get the lava to stay on the platform instead of going into the ocean underneath and turning it into obsidian
You better start waifuposting if you want to live.

>>136060304
Is there a list of everything you've made that wasn't part of the forum page?
As I'm about to transition to Hardmode, I figure it'd be a good idea to move the bulk of my NPCs from my near spawn ground level town and transition them to a floating island type town 300 or so blocks up over some lowlands. This gets them up and away from danger, while letting me use the old town as an arena for various invasions without having to worry about NPC deaths.
But now I'm in a bit of a bind. This is about the extent of my creativity so I'm not even sure how I want to start building my floating island, once I finish the railway and connect the two. I'm not going to use an actual floating island, I know for starters. But laying the ground work is making me nervous.
>>136127171
i dunno man
make a boat-themed thing
make a blimp/balloon themed thing
make rockets to hold the island up
make everything out of slime
make the whole thing held up by background pillars
make the rooms into airplanes
make a space elevator to your town
make a magic circle to hold up your town
make your town in a sphere
make your town in a triangle
>>136128924
>make the whole thing held up by background pillars
That was one thing I'm sorta already doing.
>make a magic circle to hold up your town
I like this idea too though. Some sort of Magic Circle in the center of the town with the buildings radiating away from it. If I had any sort of talent I could make something like pic related.

Guys, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have Full Nebula armor with Lunar flare, Last prism, Nebula Aracnuem, And Nebula blaze with mage accessories+UFO mount. And I still can't come close to beating Douche Fishron. Any tips??
>>136153407
>end-game gear
>can't beat fishron
literally how
It might help if you don't use the UFO mount, though. It's slow, and mobility is pretty important for the fight. Also, use a dash accessory. Tabi/Master Ninja are great for dodging, but Shield of Cthulhu can trivialize Stage 3.

>>136158559
Swiftness and Water Walking are must-haves, and since you're a mage, Magic Power and Mana Regeneration are as well. Rage or Wrath are also a great choice, as is the crystal ball buff.
Lifeforce, Endurance, and Ironskin might also let you take 1-2 extra hits combined. Inferno might be able to block the bubbles too, but I've never tried that since they're really expensive to make.
If you have heart statues, hook them up and use a Heartreach potion. Other enemy statues can be substituted for the heart statue.

Alright. I've hit a brick wall wrt progression for the moment, so I figure it's time to spruce up the home base and give my NPCs some proper homes.
That's one thing, but what I'm wondering is, what should I do with my bunker? Besides ripping out the interior and filling it all in, I'm not sure what I could do with it.

It's a decent defensive item for general play and knockback resistance is always good, but it might not be worth it just due to how much grinding you might end up having to do.
>>136171775
It's a quality of life improvement, really. Getting knocked back or having Chilled applied to you whenever you enter water in the tundra biome or getting confused by bats is pretty annoying and gets old fast. It isn't really too useful for boss fights or events though, the sole exception being the Frost Moon where I'd argue it's a must-have item.
>>136173796
I wish we could pick up altars.
>>136174385
>It isn't really too useful for boss fights
Except for Fishron the faggot flying fish because he inflicts the same debuffs that the bats do.
>>136174625
You shouldn't be getting hit by Fishron at all, period.
>>136174932
You shouldn't get hit by anything in this game. But since that's not a realistic expectation better bring the ankh for Fishron.

Some inspiration perhaps?
>>136175102
It's inevitable that a few mistakes will be made, but you'll really only be getting hit 2, 3, maybe 4 times during the whole fight because any more means you're probably dead. You can probably take more damage if you're tanking, but I've never tried that against Fishron.
Since you aren't getting hit often, you aren't getting debuffed often. Even if Fishron does manage to land an attack,
>he only has a 1/3 chance to inflict Feral Bite
>when he does inflict it, it's only for 3-10 seconds, as opposed to the 30-90 bats inflict it for
>with Feral Bite, every second you have a 1/20 chance to have one of six other debuffs inflicted on you
>Darkness does pretty much nothing
>Weak isn't too bad
>Cursed kinda sucks, but lasts for less than a second
>Silenced doesn't affect you most of the time, but when it does it lasts for 1 second or less
Since the fight is less about dealing damage and more about dodging, getting Weakened, Cursed, or Silenced really isn't too bad. This leaves the Confused and Slow debuffs. These two debuffs impede on your movement and dodging, potentially leaving you open for attack. Even with that, the odds are in your favor that you'll go through the fight without needing to deal with them. Overall, Fishron's Feral Bite isn't nearly as bad as it seems, so using the Ankh Shield to negate it is pretty much a waste of an accessory slot.
>>136179087
>you'll really only be getting hit 2, 3, maybe 4 times during the whole fight because any more means you're probably dead
>the fight is less about dealing damage and more about dodging
>These two debuffs impede on your movement and dodging, potentially leaving you open for attack
>using the Ankh Shield to negate it is pretty much a waste of an accessory slot
If the battle is really about dodging, then you don't need more than 3 mobility accessories at most (wings, boots and dashing), wich means that the ankh is hardly a waste of space. In fact, it also boosts your mobility since it prevents knockback (wich can easily mean death with all the fucking sharkados around) and the aforementioned debuffs. Now, I agree that the risk of being debuffed is not that high, but since Fishron kills you in 4 hits at most, bad luck will fuck you up most of the time even if it's not that common.
The only situation in wich the ankh could be a waste is if you're gearing for DPS, but then you're not approaching the battle from a dodging perspective. And if this is the case, then silenced and weak also become a problem, because they cripple your damage output greatly, unless you have the ankh, wich will grant a 20% damage boost from feral bite (more than what any accessory provides) and prevent the debuffs at the same time.
All in all I hardly see the ankh as a bad choice against Fishron under any circumstance.
Hows my work in progress sky base look?

>>136181898
Commie as fuck.
>>136182213
>I heard this funny word on /v/, am I using it rite guys?
>>136179087
I really have to disagree. The Ankh Shield is a must for Fishron. If there's even a small chance he's going to inflict that feral bite debuff, I want to prevent it, since even a second or two of being slow/confused could kill me. Not to mention that Fishron isn't the only enemy in the fight: even if you dodge him, the odds are good you'll get hit by one of his flying shark guys, so that knockback protection is essential.
I wish you could get the pillars as decorations,
Have a shrine room with this thing in the middle.
>>136180423
>unless you have the ankh, which will grant a 20% damage boost from feral bite (more than what any accessory provides)
I mean, you get the +20% regardless of if you have the Ankh or not.
>If the battle is really about dodging, then you don't need more than 3 mobility accessories
That's the bare minimum, but in my experience a Balloon and the Frog Leg are also pretty important for their +30% and +48% ascent boosts. They let you kite around Fishron and other bosses much easier. I'd argue the boots are the most expendable accessory here, since flight duration is less important than flight speed, because the boss is pretty fast.
>The only situation in which the ankh could be a waste is if you're gearing for DPS, but then you're not approaching the battle from a dodging perspective.
Just because you're going for mobility doesn't mean you shouldn't also try to boost your damage. The faster you kill the enemy the lower the chance is that you take damage, but while the enemy is still alive you need to be able to dodge it consistently. DPS is important, it's just that maneuverability takes priority. So I'd rather have an emblem than the shield.
>And if this is the case, then silenced and weak also become a problem, because they cripple your damage output greatly
Silenced only affects one class, and it's only slightly longer than Cursed. And as you mentioned, Feral Bite grants a +20% damage bonus, so it kinda evens out. It's better to not have them of course, but they don't hurt you too badly. As for Weak, it lowers melee damage and speed by 5%, but since it's coming with Feral Bite you should make up the difference in DPS. The real issue with it is the -10% movement speed. You should already have really high ascent speed though, so this shouldn't be too much of an issue.
>>136180423
>>136183301
>>136184340
Titanium Armor's set bonus can dodge a single attack (and thus avoid the knockback entirely) and grants two seconds of invulnerability. As long as you aren't getting hit again within the 30 second cooldown period, you shouldn't have any issues.
My usual setup is
>Titanium Armor
>Menacing/Lucky/Quick on accessories
>Bundle of Balloons
>Wings
>Master Ninja Gear
>Frog Leg
>Frostspark Boots
>Destroyer Emblem
>any homing weapon to focus on dodging
>Water Walking and Swiftness for mobility
>Rage/Wrath for damage
>Lifeforce/Endurance/Ironskin just in case
and I've never had any issues with Feral Bite or excessive knockback. It might be worth trying something like this next time, since it works pretty well for me.
>>136185326
Didn't mean to quote myself there.

Still look ugly to be honest, underground rooms are cool because you can mess with the sizes and shapes to give it some flavor, and furnishing the room too much only makes it look like a clusterfuck
>>136187472

>>136214928
Have you defeated the queen bee? you want to get her bow and expert accessory if playing with bows
For skeletron, you are set equipment wise, you just have to get used to dodging him, build a vertical arena, you can only outspeed him vertically and make potions (Endurance, Ironskin and swiftness are must-haves for most expert bosses)
>>136215260
Is it better than the Molten Bow? Also isnt the queen bee hard as fuck? I remember having a lot of trouble with it

Basically what >>136215335 says. If you have the molten bow already Queen Bee shouldn't be a problem.

It'd probably be decently fun for the duration of prehardmode, but I think bees fall off pretty hard once you kill Wall.

>>136262794
Generally whatever you can get your hands on. Summoning is kinda starved for shit to use. Spiders will have to carry you until you either kill the Twins or take on the Pirates.
Make sure you get the spider turret as well. No sense not using it.

>not wiring up active stone blocks with switches
Come on, anon, at least TRY to use your brain a bit. That is kinda what the game is designed to encourage you to do, after all.
>>136264841
That's what I did, genius. Unless there's a pressure plate I don't know about that can differentiate between werewolves and NPCs then it doesn't make a difference.
>>136264573
YES
YESSSSSS
>>136265350
>differentiate between werewolves and NPCs
Um, you just need plate that activate for the player only. Otherwise, NPCs would open the main door randomly, which would let enemies in. Blue, brown, and gray I think are the plates to use.
What's the best sword and why is it the Fetid Baghnakhs?
>>136267121
I like Arkhalis. 50% because it's actually pretty boss, and 50% for the mystique of finding a sword in a stone in some long forgotten shrine.
Also it's aimable which is always a plus.
>>136265602

I just get caught in his head sometimes and take like 250 damage.
>>136267441
You're arena is bad. Make multiple levels of platforms.
>>136267519
Even when flying it seems he is too fast. I think travelling between platforms would be a death sentence. I might just make some potions of regen, ironskin, etc.
>>136267519
>you're
Oh jeez, how embarrassing.
>>136267607
Do you have the best boots and the eye shield? It's pretty easy to jump and quickly accelerate over him when he's spinning at you.
Also, yes. Make potions. Expert mode ain't no joke. You need to take advantage of all your resources.
>>136267441
Dood you need to get gud and fast.
>>136267441
>300 HP
>no platforms
>no campfire
>no heart lantern
>no sunflower
>no buff potions
>>136271696
I havent found enough hearts yet, and if i have 300 hp, why would i have a heart lantern? You're right about the potions and campfire however
>>136271760
What have you even been doing that you haven't found enough hearts? I tend to be capped off before I even get the full complement of movement gear.
>>136271760
I'd prioritize getting a single heart lantern over more HP. 20 extra hit points aren't going to help too much against a boss that can kill you in a couple hits, but a heart lantern would let you recover from the hits you do take much faster. Player regeneration is expert mode is much lower than usual, so being able to recover fast is a must. Also, get some fish for the well-fed buff.
On the subject of platforms, they really do help a lot with dodging, and it's easy to move from one to another with a good hook. Seriously, a good arena boosts survivability a ton.
Also, stay under the boss as much as possible during stage 1 while his hands are still alive. It makes dodging them and damaging them easier, and prevents them from flying it at mach 5 from off-screen. When he starts spinning and charging you, use your hook for a quick escape to get out of there.
>Needing an arena to beat bosses
building arenas is a waste of time tbqh
>>136272656
Arenas are pretty useful for new players that are stuck on a boss. While they aren't necessary, they can certainly help.
How do I fight Moonlord?
>>136273064

>>136265814
Let me restate the problem.
>if the drawbridge is left up, the travelling merchant falls in the lava
>if the drawbridge is left down, enemies come in and kill the NPCs
A switch for me to control manually is already part of the system, but it doesn't help if the merchant arrives while I'm not home.

>no minecart equipped in first 2 phases so you don't outrun him to the point of him despawning
>as soon as he goes into 3rd phase, switch to mechanical cart and he literally cannot hit you
>>136273516
Hmm, maybe set it up so that you have a drawbridge and a main door, sort of in a sideways L shape. Put them on different wire colors so they can be controlled independently.
When you're away, just leave the drawbridge down, and the main door closed. The travelling merchant can't get in, but neither will he fall in the lava pit. Simultaneously, enemies can't get in with the door closed. During invasions, if you stay at home, you could leave the lava pit open to kill enemies and the door closed to help keep them out. This all assumes you're using active stone blocks for both the drawbridge and the door.
This should solve your problem.
>>136273516
It's a shame there aren't light or world time based switches. It would neatly solve the problem.
Is this also the Starbound thread now?

I think the "popularity" of commieblocks stems from their ease of build when you're first starting.
Think back on your very every first house. It was something like pic related, right? Just a square hut on the ground. Maybe if you felt fancy or clever you'd elevate it off the ground a little and spruce it up with nice details.
But none the less, your first shack looked a lot like this.
And it's easy to build off of this. NP housing needs are very basic, and you can mindlessly copy-paste the same 7x5 lunchbox-esque room with torch, worktable and chair ad infinitum and your little proletariats couldn't be happier.
>>136288056
Mfw terraria will never have npcs carry more stuff or rarer stuff based on the size of their living area and a point value of things inside their homes for furniture , paintings, painted blocks, and theme relevant bonuses.

Are minecart arenas a common thing?
I just tested mine against the Eye of Cthulu and Skeletron and it seemed to do pretty well at dodging their attacks. I only got hit once or twice by each. Instead of mobility items I can take full damage/armor gear.
>>136290016
I use minecarts almost solely for Wall o' Flesh. And that's because all I know what to do with minecart tracks is to lie them down in a straight line or make them go up or down at an angle.
>>136290156
I found that it triviliazed expert mode Eater of Worlds when my subway conveniently passed at the same height as a corruption tunnel. You don't even need to use weapons. Just set up bouncers at either end of the corruption and ride full speed back and forth.
My little house is coming along nicely. Think my next expansion will be a bathroom between the main house and the work shed. Complete with toilet and bathtub. I might make the Guide live there, too.
Anyone have any suggestions for how to connect the two?
>>136294207
It's going to be too big and weird looking if you add more to the main structure. I'd work at adding more detail or more realistic supports instead.
This is my shit stain
>>136295478
>square underground rooms
triggered
>>136295768
I'm bad at houses
>>136296056
here is a tip, go full retard with the ceiling and maybe half retard with the floor, them add shitloads of decoration to the ceiling for no reason, maybe some different colored lights too, you will be surprised at how nice it looks
>>136295478
I like the general layout of underground alcove with a view of the outside forest, and it's salvageable, you just have to remove all the random shit, and start thinking about what each room is supposed to really be. Maybe check out stuff like Cappadocia on GIS for inspiration. Or for example levels from Flashback (DOS 2D version of course).
>>136289923
>Worst music.

The only downsides are the drops and sometimes getting slowed down by frozen effects but overall its a pretty good biome
>>136267441
This has to be the worst arena I have ever seen
>>136296968
Random shit like the glass kiln and crystal ball right? I'll try and and make the room with the Excalibur a library or something and move the ball there.
This place looks pretty rad, I'll try and make use of it.
>>136294645
Duly noted.
So I'm switching gears, going from an elevated shack to some sort of multi-story lake-side house. The space off to the left I'm going to fill with water for designated fishing area. The bathroom is still going between the upper structure and the workshed. Just have to figure out how to bring it all together.
Here's what I got so far on a short expedition into the tundra for Boreal wood. I should have made this world a Large one cause there's just not enough Tundra real estate to get loadsawood.
Also debating if I should switch the dirt under the house for sand so grass and junk doesn't grow under there. Or maybe clay.
>>136298861
I think the grass and flowers look really nice below the house like that, it adds a 3D layer to it, like it's growing in front of it.
Sup, /tg/.
I want to make comfy houses in terrariaon mobile.
How do I go about doing this?
>>136301279
You don't.
>>136301370
Why not? Is it that inferior or something? If it has hammering and actuators you can make amazing houses regardless of the materials or the lack thereof.
>>136301479
If you say so... Go to the fancy builds and steal shit from there. It's how I do it. I take a few idea from one house, a few ideas from another one and combine them.
>>136239497
>that guide
I chuckled
I tried
>>136302258
Why is it so tall?
>>136302492
I was going to add some banners and stuff on the roof.
>>136290156
I once tried to make the Wall of Flesh fight into something like Ellmac.It didn't really work.
>>136299048
Didn't think of it like that. That's a good point you raise.
And my starter house evolved from a floating two room shack to... THIS.
It's only 80% done. I have more tweaking to do but I think this is how the overall shape is gonna be.
Getting the books for that bookcase was a pain, and now I realized I should have used a different wood type, like Boreal or Shade. But what's done is done.
>>136302258
It's too tall but actually it doesn't look too bad. I would lower the white part to below the chandeliers, and create some kind of a support system from the roof on it. The planks should go to maybe half of the shield height, and then behind the shields support beams. I would also put the shields between the shelves instead of above them and adjust the chandeliers accordingly.
See what happens if you put one planked wall layer between the planks and the stone wall.
>>136303594
Lookin' pretty nice I think.
Is a Terraria 1.4 planned for the future or is 1.3 (With some little things like the 1.31) the final build? I've been out of the game for a couple of years, but lately my Terraria craving is coming back, but I don't know if I should wait for more content. Last thing I did was fighting the Pumpkin Night, don't know what they did after that.
>>136306637
1.3.1 is supposed to come soon, look for the spoilers in OP, mostly wire-related shit

Great. How hard is Expert exactly? Will I be able to beat it without getting crazy, having reached endgame in 1.2?
>>136310384
It's fine in normal mode but once you get to hardmode it's just a fucking pain.
>>136310384
Doubling of damage for most things, doubling of health for all mobs, somebut not enoughmobs have new attacks, bosses have new attacks or patterns, your defense is slightly more potent, and your regen is nerfed.
Also, bosses each drop a unique item.
>>136310384
You are in for a wild ride
everything has doubled damage and HP, some bosses get extra "fuck you" behaviors, but still, it's better than the cakewalk that the original game is, start on a new character tho, there's enough things added to make it worth
>>136310848
I always start fresh when I come back to this game after a long time.
I might try this. Are the timed battles (Like pumpkin moons, don't know if there are more) etc) still feasible in expert, considering that everything take twice as long to be killed? I'd hate to be left out of content/items just because it's not possible to actually finish a battle in time.
>>136311261
1.3 also added a lot of really powerful new toys, so it isn't really an issue.
>>136311261
They're feasible if you have a mighty fine arena and potions out the ass.
But the moon events don't have any Expert only drops, only the non-event bosses do.
>>136311261
The pumpkin/frost moon events progress twice as fast, still, they are absolute bullshit on expert mode

Why do you people never make arenas, lay down campfires and heart lanterns, or use buffs?
>>136312701
That's the best way to do it. If you actively try going for something, you'll never get it.
What's better, items wise, in 1.3 between corruption and crimson? IIRC in 1.2 Crimson had cooler stuff, what about now?
>>136312701
It's usually the opposite for me. Whenever I think,
>Oh I might need this item
I usually get it within 5 minutes in.
>>136313196
Still Crimson, but make a side trip into the corruption to grab the worm scarf.
So /tg/, how does your progression pre-hardmode usually go? For me it's:
>Explore
>mine for the night
>explore
>mine a lot until I get Silver minimum
>build homes
>go to snow
>look for chests
>prepare for Eye
>fight Eye
>destroy orb/heart once a day for meteorites to spawn so until then go do other stuff
>likely fight goblin army and get the goblin tinkerer as well
>also mine meteor(s)
>make arena in corruption/crimson
>fight eater/brain
>fight them enough until I get all the Corruption/Crimson I want/need
>Go to antlion cave in the desert to mine Fossil (even if I don't need Fossil Armor I still do this anyways)
>Explore jungle for the treasures
>Once I find the beehive I make an arena and prepare accordingly
>Fight Queen Bee
>After I'm done with the jungle, head out to Skeletron
>make arena
>fight Skeletron
>explore dungeon
>once I'm done I go back and make hellevator
>go to hell
>get everything I want/need there
>all I do until then is keep on fishing, looking for rare items I might need, and building a better base
>when I'm ready make arena for wall of flesh
>fight wall of flesh by nuking him to death with beenades
>win
>>136314870
That's pretty much my progression as well, though I don't wait for the gobbos before I fight the Big C.
>>136314870
>Explore
>Mine for the night and hope to get bombs
>Blow up shadow orbs/hearts with bombs for musket
>Kill Eye
Pretty much the same after that.
>>136315291
Well to be fair Goblin Army just sort of shows up whenever. It's worth waiting anyways just solely for dat meteorite. Also Spiky Balls are incredible for both the Eater and Brain anyways.
How big you usually make your worlds, /tg/?
>>136316436

>>136348210
A base with NPCs automatically prevents hostile mobs from spawning, unless there is a blood moon
>>136348635
Deep enough, as simple as it is, you don't have to worry about shit like power loss and you can toggle on/off blocks (with actuators), lights or traps
>>136348635
Nowhere as deep as redstone, but you still can make automatic defenses for your base. 1.3.1 will introduce enough wiring stuff to make it comparable to Minecraft's redstone.

Hm. I feel like something like relics could be neat for Terraria.
>>136362856
Eh generic, but not bad. The only really bad thing is the flag. Fix that shit.
>>136363381
It's not pleasant. I honestly don't know how you're supposed to do anything in prehardmode without using other things.
>>136364461mods, and build shit
>>136364219
Because minions keep the damage bonuses they get when summoned. Say you're wearing the summoner emblem, you can summon your minions and then take the accessory off, and your minions will still keep the +15% damage boost, even without the accessory equipped.
With a bat statue, you can hurt yourself on the bats to give yourself Feral Bite, which grants a huge +20% damage boost, which persists even after the debuff is over in your minions, so long as you summoned them while the debuff was active.
Okay so which is stronger, Fossil Armor with Bone Knives and Javelins, Molotovs, and Beenades, or Necro Armor with Bee's Knees and Hellwing Bow?
>>136365915
Oh yeah forgot Bone Glove as well.
>>136357471
>Man, who else thought it was going to be a shameless 2d minecraft clone?
I avoided Terraria for years because that's exactly what I thought it was. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised.
>>136357471
I also thought it was a Minecraft clone
At some point I saw some dude playing and been hooked ever since
>>136365915
Necro Armor with Bee's Knees is more economical and already more than enough to deal with pretty much every enemy, but I'd switch to Fossil Armor with Beenades for Wall of Flesh.
Alright, got a fresh test server up. Hopefully should work fine.
REMINDER
This is only a test server. I want to make sure everyone can connect and my comp can handle it before I do the real thing.
Gonna post my IP in two formats. First is via Pastebin. It has the first 5 digits.
http://pastebin.com/CVXm3sqx
Second is this image. It has the last 4. I hope you know how to put them together to access the server.
Server password is 777
This is a stress test so get in there and have a blast. No rules. No gods. Only anons. It's not staying for long anyways.
I have the max players set to 32, but if we need more I can reboot the server and increase the numbers. Buuuut we should be fine.
Nobody?
Progress

So which house theme fits each NPC the most? I want to make some themed homes for my NPCs at some point. I feel Guide is better off with a generic wooden house, Dryad in a tree, the Angler in a wooden beach house by the ocean/lake, and Witch Doctor in a Mahogany Wooden shack, but not much else.
>>136376285
It looks good. Living Wood tree seems a little lopsided, though.

The lag is awful.
>>136394278
Should I try a hardcore singleplayer thing? Expert and all that.
>>136394628
It doesn't really work that well. Terraria isn't really meant to be played without any deaths.
If you are really bored, and really want to play Terraria instead of some other game, then go for it.
>kobold is german for goblin

>>136394628
Well Hardcorps doesn't start until you beat Wall o' Flesh. Do you mean Expert mode?
Cause you could team up with a buddy and be like Etho and Zed and do a co-op YouTube series.
https://youtu.be/9T-uN7-k-IM?list=PLaAVDbMg_XArVUHwH_IE2BVYij7jB06L2Maybe you could find someone to bro-op with you in this very thread.
>>136395990
Hardcore, On the character, yknow, theres softcore, medium core, and hardcore, Softcore drops coins on death, Medium coins drop items on death. Hardcore deletes the character
>>136396079
Ah. I misunderstood.
Eh, HC is more for challenges anyways.Like I remember watching a guy stream Terraria for 36 hours straight, I didn't stay and watch the whole 36 hours mind you, but I'm sure others did, but yeah he streamed for 36 hours and his character was a Hardcore character.
But I can see an HC character just getting nowhere in Expert mode. Even Mediumcore characters are a hassle in Expert mode, since so many things can surprise one shot you.
WAKE UP ANIKI

Thicken the hull with a layer of palm wood and make a tin brick rudder. Beach it on a cloud or rock outcropping.
>>136401381
I'd suggest ditching one of the two clocks.
Also more kegs. What kind of pirate sails around with only THREE barrels?

The safe needs to be in the hold along with iron and gold crates from fishing.
The sodden platform on the right for the gold bed is missing a block. It's not symmetrical with the other one. And hammer the end pieces of both wood platforms.
If one bed gets a personal lantern. The other one needs one. Or drop it and space out the chandeliers.
The decneeds
>>136403784
I'm all thumbs right now.
The deck needs railing.
>>136403784
Well one bed has a toilet. It's a tadeoff. Either you get extra light when you sleep or you can poop easily at night.
>>136401381
Why the fuck is there a toilet right next to the bed?

Did the normal mode mech bosses get nerfed or did 1.3 add some op goodies?
I'd never beat them before and just wrecked all three of them with a basic honey/lamp/campfire arena.
Moving on to next project. The base of my boss arena.
Originally I was going to have the arena be the inside of the pyramid but real estate concerns nyx'd that route. So now I'm gonna have the pyramid be the base and above it will be the actual arena, in a sort of semi-sphere like shape. Like a large bowl of chips resting on a kitchen scale.
I was thinking alternating Sandstone and Gray Brick walls, with the gray brick walls having these checkered patterns to them with glass every fourth center block or so.
Since I can't use this for the actual arena I'll likely just use it as a mass storage area, with gold chests for boss drops and wooden chests for everything else. Maybe even get fancy and put item plaques above the chests for ease of identification/sorting.
>>136405624
And of course this is what happens when I try to improvise. I'm gonna have to rework that design on the gray brick wall somehow.

>>136407192
Are one blocks effective against bosses? I usually like to run around like a retard but i never thought about using barriers to protect myself
>>136408569
No. Bosses pass through all blocks. Even ores.
>>136408569
The usefulness of solid blocks in an arena varies depending on the boss, but most of the time they'll hinder you more than help.
>>136408529
Well it's a start... Never built an office before.
>>136410707
This isn't bad at all, you can make a little reception desk at the entrance, and cubicles, and the boss rooms to the left/right of the upper floor. Maybe even a helipad for the CEO/owner/whoever. Also remove that fountain, you need a water cooler! And a photocopy room. And a janitor room.
>>136411018
Also a server/security room.
>>136410707
Try stucco.
It's too bad that stucco is so hard to craft relative to other building mats though.
And it's just about done. Just have to make one of those spiral staircases in the center, then start filling it in with gold chests. Meteorite brick is such a great material to make stuff out of, too.
I swapped the lower designs for random shapes, put some crosses on the second level cause random Christian imaginary worked so well for Evangelion, and because I know SOMEONE would ask I put a swastika at the top level. Which I then covered up after taking the snap. I'm probably gonna stick an Ankh or Ying Yang symbol there or something.
>>136410707
Looking pretty good! Though that glass awning makes me nervous for assorted OSHA related reasons.
>>136411018
>>136411083
take it easy with the rooms though, two dimensions means you need to have some priorities set, otherwise building something like this will be pretty damn hard
We're too close to die now.
>>136414196
That's like the second little piggy's mansion estate. Or whichever was the one building shit out of straw.
>>136414287
First one.
First little piggy went to his shack made of straw. And the Big Bad Wolf huffed and puffed and yiffed and blew it down and gobbled up the piggie.
Then the seconds piglet went to his house made of wood. Yadda yadda yadda piggie got chomped.
And the third one went to his house made of bricks and the wolf dindu nuffin.
>>136410707
I really like the street lamp! Though I'd maybe paint it gray instead of keeping it white.
Actually survives a Bloodmoon just fine. Zombos can't get in from any angle.

Fug. Better get to bed.
I'm gonna leave the server up still. If we make a new thread while I sleep go ahead and put the server info either in the OP or first post.
So, who wants to start a betting pool on how fast the next thread will die?

Starbound remains "alright", there is some fun to be had with it, buuut yes indeed, it doesn't stand the comparison against Terraria and the only thing that Starbound has that Terraria doesn't are musical instruments, that's about it.
This is why we're introducing our friend to the genre with Starbound, he absolutely loves it, but when we're done we'll make him playTerraria. Save the best for the end, they say.

So this was my baby's first attempt at a non-commie block house, it's uhh... a pramid with green glass houseware and cactii... I dunno.

Check out the crafting station second from the left, second row.
If you paint the upper left part black (if you have a black wall behind it), it would totally look like one.
Or experiment with crafting stations like that, and tiny little details with painted walls and painted dungeons parts for a cabinet with drawers (you can use those dungeon platforms for pretty neat handles).
It's looking pretty damn decent so far!
>>136428045
>I'm the only one playing

>>136428893
yeah, seriously, people always ask for a serb and then when one goes up there's no one who plays
like what the fuck are you people reverse tsundre for servers?
>>136430442
>timezones
>>136430442
I think you should be organizing weekend play sessions like MMO raids! 2-3 hours at a time everyone can do and whoever doesn't show up gets kicked forever.
But seriously, I'd probably come to something like that, if it was organized and had a strict schedule. I just can't afford the time to fuck around when no one is there and there's not enough people for someone to always be there.
What do you think, is this idea too autistic or what?
>>136430442
I want to play with like 2-3 people in prib serbers, not a public one
>>136431179
/tg/ public ones usually get 2-3 people, why not just play there?

>>136381383
I've never joined a public server before, should i come with a fresh character or is any fine
>>136438265
>>136438283
in most servers you should start anew, or at least come with a char properly equipped for the stage of progression
unless it's one of those rare boss-rush/building servers
>>136439202
I would play if it was right before hardmode. or maybe start again, either way is fine.

Kitchen is pretty cool, so is the dining room, maybe try painting some stuff so that it looks more blended together or apart.

Second I'll be using TShock as the base plugin. Any additional plugin suggestions would be appreciated.

Also I backed up the test server, if any of you cucks had a special fondness for it here's the world file.

I don't think we need anything too special, also it's Expert not Hardmode, hardmode doesn't start until the Wall of Flesh dies

Calm the fuck down. We're still on page 9. We can survive about 30 min on page to, too.
>>136464215
Yes. Wall of Flesh had been defeated in that world.
>>136464215
No, he meant that the existing world was hardmode, because we killed wall of flesh in that world.
>>136417379
at least this has the decency to use different materials. plain wood and maybe brick is as fancy as mine usually get. if i'm feeling particularly generous, there may be a window or two.

>Dryad has a lewd painting of herself in her room
Lewd.
Is Expert actually enjoyable or is it just artificial difficulty: the game? It's worth it to bother with it just for the exclusive items or should I just enjoy normal?
>>136467352
>It's worth it to bother with it just for the exclusive items
No. It's worth it because it seems like a proper game when compared to normal mode.
>>136467352
I like how the bosses behave, but it's kind of a pain for general play.
>>136467489
But it's the game actually fair or you're just forced to cheese every boss to progress? I don't mind a challenge, but I do mind a broken game.
Alright, I believe the server should be ready now.
Password should be 777, same as last time. IP to connect is75.1111.23.10
I say should cause this fucking config file is a pain.
It's a fresh Corruption World. Enjoy.
>>136467352
The exclusive items can be nice. Eater of Worlds drops an item that grants +15% damage reduction
>>136467942
Depends on how good you are, you'll have to cheese if playing Terraria for the first time
Not that bad otherwise, normal monsters are more annoying due to absurd amounts of damage
>>136467942
It's fair.
>>136467958
Er, it's 75.111
NOT 75.1111
That's what I get for recalling the IP by memory instead of just looking at a previous post.
