npc holding pen while i build more specialized housing. i like designing structures around the landscape rather than terraforming them, and this world had an interesting spot to build not far from a floating island, so i went with a living wood/glass/cloud theme. the big bridge doesn't match the apartments b/c i built it before i had a theme for the apartments in mind

The bridge in the build above it is also gorgeous and mystery black art to me

I've got a poo poo ton of hours in this but I barely remember anything besides the fact the early game can be tedious. Thus, I started under journey mode and the starter poo poo is appreciated but goddamn I remember being much, much faster at movement. Is there a pair of boots I need to craft? I remember hooks being necessary eventually...

Your computer might be having FPS issues, like mine. For me it manifested as walking much, much slower than I know the early game speed to be.

I was advised to press f10 for FPS readout, or if that doesn't work, activate universal FPS counter through steam (Steam -> Settings -> In-Game -> In-Game FPS). See if it's in fact low.

Cranking the spawn rate way up is fun for the early game when it's generally really boring.

Rewarding you for good torch matching without penalising you for bad torches is much better design.

Yeah, they did the old World Of Warcraft numbers switcheroo

Nobody likes secret penalties, everybody likes secret buffs

E: If you could make / buy "Tossing Bones" as an inventory item that tells you your current luck I'd be 100% on board even with negatives, gently caress it, them for torch luck, tarot cards for inventory luck, a rabbit's foot for combat luck, slap 'em together into a Holistic Detective Manual and make a New Agey Bullshit App upgrade for the Smart Phone

Jesus christ, the endgame poo poo does *not* gently caress around. I cranked it back down to normal from expert on bosses because the Empress of Light is a complete nightmare. I just do not understand how I'm expected to do...anything really.

On the other hand, the Chain Gun with Chlorophyte bullets :getin:

Empress legit feels like its meant to be fought around the same time as the duke, its also got some issues with the line attacks being a bit slower than that kind of attack should be, making it trickier to dodge. On the other hand the weapons you get off of her are quite powerful, including the best whip in the game and my favorite sword in the whole game.

I made it and I think its terrible they lock such a useful item behind such an obtuse and hidden mechanic. The shovel makes digging in certain areas sooooooo much easier, and gathering things like sand for a truckload of glass a breeze. Early game building can actually be pretty tolerable if you use it alongside the fish equipment.

I'll have to grab that shovel tomorrow. Lack of an item/pickup filter and the drudgery of early digging are the worst parts of the game as a whole imo.

If the guide didn't show you recipes to make on X crafting station and "ecto mist" i would have never really known graveyard biome was even a crafting requirement. I had to look at the wiki to find out what "ecto mist" is...

I don't like the lighting from other torches.

master mode has been easier than going through the calamity mod so far for me. the early game is wild, but once you get a few weapons the bosses aren't too much worse than their expert difficulty counterparts

It would be super funny if the patch notes said "torch luck is gone" but they didn't actually change anything.

This was also funny.



ps calamity seemed interesting, in practice is it just one of those annoying "the game needs to be longer" mods like xcom long war was without the modifier that made it less long, or is it actually alright?

The real world will, again tomorrow, function and run without me.

calamity is v good imo, a lot of the bosses it adds are super fun to fight and it adds a lot of really cool items. it is difficult but it does let you customize the difficulty a bit and it almost never feels unfair to me

Yeah I really enjoyed calamity, only really tricky thing was understanding how to move around bosses is a little more complicated and sort of unintuitive, like you want to fall and rise quite slowly for supreme calamitas or move in a U for yharon.

Anyone up for a bit of an experiment? a Journeymode server with settings locked to:

No god mode
No time/weather alteration
Master difficulty
3x spawn rate, increased to 5x once hardmode is activated
7x spawns for end-game encounters

With journey mode, people coming into the server beyond the initial build-up period can easily get up to speed with more advanced players, and be able to help tackle the ridiculous challenge a 5x spawn rate offers.

Someone on Reddit went into the new torch luck code and the negative stuff is still there, it's just that if your overall torch luck is negative, it gets set to 0. It effectively means that bad torches will counter out the effects of good torches, but it won't cause you an overall problem (which is fine)

It's also worth noting that torch luck is always 0 in the dungeon, temple and anywhere on the surface or above, so don't waste time worrying about it there.

Server side characters? Sounds awesome. Are you doing any checking of the world before hosting it? Evil type, locations (so they don't gently caress up the special biomes), maybe some large tree clusters and such?

Will definitely be in on that as soon as it comes up. Even made a new character just for it.
