When I did my modded playthrough I took a lot of furniture mods and looked at a lot of stuff on r/TerrariaDesign and even some Youtube vids like those of Khaios, and then just prettied up a little bit the starting house from Antiaris and built a giant floating NPC prison next to it. It was meant to be a placeholder to let them spawn in without having to build finished places first, but :effort:

I wonder, with all of these new biome changes and the pylon system, if Large maps would be fun to play with in single player now.

I always play and enjoy Large maps but that's probably just me, heh.

And needing an accessory slot for something that should be basic functionality to avoid carpal tunnel still sucks. I hope at least Omniswing gets updated quickly to 1.4.

It seems like Journey mode is gonna be the go-to mode so you can always switch the game into hardmode if/when you want to.

Kinda dumb about the extra accessory slot disappearing when you do it though.

Is there anything specific to master mode? I change log just implied it would be harder, but nothing more specific than that.

No more:
  • Hardmode boss fights made easy by the Deadalus Stormbow
  • Nearly-free healing by cheesing the nurse at almost no cost
  • Fishing up crates to hoard them for instant hardmode ores later
  • Killing man eaters by mining their block
  • Selling strange plants for big bucks, until hardmode
  • Rushing hell with a reaver shark or meteor pick for a hellforge
  • Explosive traps that are missing the detonator
  • Speedruns that rely on lucky coin portal RNG (they're twice as rare now)


And due to bug fixes, no more:
  • Item duplication exploits using furniture
  • Dummy/slime mount invincibility exploit
  • Infinite fishing line exploit (?)
  • Flower boots exploits (for spawning critters?)
  • Despwaning Skeletron's arms by running away
  • Spider minions counting as less than one minion

But on the plus side, no more:
  • Summons screwing up your DPS by granting your enemies iframes
  • Leaving a bunch of items behind because your inventory is full (you can at least send them home now)
  • Waiting for the holiday season to get special holiday drops (you can, with difficulty, force a holiday in-game now)
  • Waiting forever for fishing quests to finally give you the right accessory (better odds)
  • Waiting for day or night (you can control time by sleeping in beds now)
  • Waiting to respawn (it at least shows you a countdown now)
  • Missing Lava Charms or Enchanted Swords from your map (they're fishable now, although the sword is nerfed)
  • Hoplites one-shotting you
  • Being plagued by torches/glowsticks taking up multiple inventory slots (somewhat for explosives too)
  • Permanently losing money due to the monster that stole it from you despawning
  • Tearing down your house just to change its material

The nurse's cost scales with your progress.
Pre-hardmode and post-hardmode crates are separate items.
The Hellforge needs a Demonite/crimtane pickaxe to mine when it's in hell
Torches (and some other items) now stack to 999
Expert monsters that steal your gold are saved, spawn back in when you're in range of them, and apparently tracked on the map.

Does block swap mean that it's easier to build a functioning house underground now, out of an existing room?

And easier to turn existing caves into non-monster-spawn areas?

Oof, is it gone from map generation? I didn't see confirmation, and was hoping that one was still an option since they nerfed regular enchanted swords a bit. I never did find an Arkhalis. Removing it is probably for the best though, as far as removing RNG reliance from speedruns though.

By shield level do you mean the number in the metal shield icon above your equipment? That's your total defense. A flat 50% of that is subtracted from any damage you take. (75% in expert)

I was confused about that post about the livestream - you're probably correct, 10am is when the stream was starting
