Money duplication can be researched with 100 of a coin. I'm already up to 2 platinum from a fresh character/world and it's still the first night. This mode is hilarious.

Hmmm, I don't really want the game to be easier though. I wanna play on Master mode but Journey mode would be nice just in case things are too brutal so we can lower the difficulty later.

Duplication is your choice, though. Don't need to use that feature, and I'm perfectly willing to agree to a no duplication / powers menu usage rule (except for certain agreed upon things like accessories).

Although I'm not sure if the context of this means "Oh no, Shaty's been hurt! " or " I must hurt Shanty! "

It's the Hurt Locker, but a little bigger and more ramshackle.

Amorphous Abode: Apr 2, 2010; We may have finally found unobtainium but I will never find eywa.

Two randomly generated world names I've seen are "The Irritating Daydream" and "The Flaky Utopia" and I'm wondering if Terraria is trying to critique how I spend my free time.

If anyone is having crash to desktop issues on load via Steam:
Uninstall Terraria. Go into the steam folder with for Terraria stuff(whereever you installed Steam\Steam\steamapps\common\Terraria) and delete everything else in there. You probably used Modloader in the past and it is causing issues. Then reinstall.
Edit: Don't worry, saved games are kept elsewhere so you won't lose anything.

They've done that for a long time, but with this update, they're saved and respawn when you get back to your point of death...

Internet Kraken posted:

So is there any reason not to play on Journey mode?

For me, it will because I don't really want or need the sort of cheat mode options it has. I don't need the free item duplication, and I don't want to switch around the difficulty of the game all the time. I prefer to just pick a difficulty and play the game as it is. Yes, I could ignore the other features of Journey Mode, but if I'm not going to use them, why pick Journey Mode?

(Not criticizing Journey Mode, just giving my explanation why someone, like me, wouldn't use it.)

Apparently Journey mode does allow fine-tuned control of the extra controls:

code:

#Journey mode power permissions for every individual power. 0: Locked for everyone, 1: Can only be changed by host, 2: Can be changed by everyone
#journeypermission_time_setfrozen=2
#journeypermission_time_setdawn=2
#journeypermission_time_setnoon=2
#journeypermission_time_setdusk=2
#journeypermission_time_setmidnight=2

my busted-rear end ancient computer completely crashes out and shuts down when it rains in terraria now :negative:

It's hardly terraria's fault, this happens with other games too now, but there's still something extremely depressing about not being able to play a game i've been playing with no issue whatsoever since it came out nearly a decade ago

It's obviously a sea shanty cover of Nine Inch Nail's "Hurt".

As for Journey Mode, I'll try to use the research & duplication thing more as a sort of checklist of items I've found. Also as an incentive to stop hording dirt or whatever just in case I want to build something with it later (I never want to build something with it later).

I'm trying to run a local server and fiddle with these settings a bit. How does it know which character is the host? I don't seem to be able to change some of these settings from the command line once the server is started.

This must be the new trap they got so excited about. Found this area in the Jungle (which stood out thanks to the stone) and got suspicious at the number of traps.

Sure enough, when I tripped it (after mining the two boulders, four dart traps and three explosives, the active blocks activated.

For real though is there some kind of requirement for gem trees? Light? Biome? Space? Underground? Above ground? I plant them on stone and then there's a sprout and it never grows again, just sits there for literal ingame weeks without any progress and something must be wrong or they just take a longass time to actually grow or something.

Oh that spawns the ghost? I did that in the middle of my first Master mode goblin invasion.
The ghost was the least of my worries.

It's both.

It's actual gameplay, but you can turn on godmode and extended mining/placing range if you want.

You can duplicate items infinitely, but only items you've already legit found; so you can't just give yourself a Terra Blade at the start of the game.

Underground only I believe.

Okay so Journey mode is the best. No more having to farm dirt or stone or whatever just to build things. Get 99 of it and you're done.

I thought it would feel like cheating but it really doesn't. It makes building a nice town so much easier, although I still am building giant prison/apartment towers.

I also had my Corruption spawn in the middle of my Jungle but now I can just turn off Corruption spread and not feel like I need to reset the world :unsmith:

It's basically "no more grinding" mode, although you don't have to use the item dupe effects.

Me, coming back to Terraria last month for the first time in six years: I might as well make a new world/character now, if they're saying "later this year" for this update then it might not even get here until 2021 :v:

Boy do I feel silly now.

Holy smokes that sounds good, though I was always way more into Terraria for the action/exploration parts than the building. Maybe this is how I get into actual building then?

What Journey mode will pair REALLY well with is the auto trash slot mod. Get enough of an item to unlock infinite and then enable auto trash for it so it no longer clutters the inventory..

Agree. I'm duping everything but only using duped basic materials/doors/walls/etc. I've also duped bronze and silver coins but I'm not using them.
