No Safe Word posted:I just killed Plantera on my master mode run yesterday and dipped into the dungeon a bit to attempt to farm the last piece for my Ankh Shield (the bandage drops from Rusty Armored Bones) as well as some Ectoplasm for event farming if I want to (plus I want those relics), so I haven't even done the temple yet but an Unreal Vortex Beater + Chlorophyte Bullets + tons of buff potions and my skyrail with bouncy ends is still the plan and I imagine it should be just fine Oh, Master Mode Plantera/Golem were easy. I was worried about Plantera in MM but the standard large no-wall arena still nullifies Plantera nicely. MM Golem is still a joke, still easier then Skeletron.

Terraria Tweaker is available. 99% of mods are waiting for tModLoader because the alternative is duplicating all the work tModLoader does interfacing with the game, except with the added bonus that 1. you're now responsible for maintaining that interface yourself in addition to your mod and 2. your mod is now incompatible with every tModLoader mod, meaning you'll get dropped as soon as tModLoader arrives.

What Cat Mattress said. tModloader is an API, a framework for building mods in. Until it gets updated to be compatible with 1.4, none the mods that are designed around using that framework can really get updated for 1.4 either.

If you paint clay blocks brown they look pretty much indistinguishable from dirt but don't grow grass. It's a good way to get the fresh grave look. I gotta say I am loving the pylon system but between my main standard and Journey/Master worlds I've yet to have an intact snow biome. I pretty much just taken to building a floating snow island to use as a teleport to a place of interest. bij fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Jun 11, 2020 |

I like this, I wouldn't change much if I were to rip it off. Are the boreal pillars the squarish blocks right at the height of the candelabra's flames or the horizontal beam above that? The horizontal beam looks like rich mahogany blocks. I like the use of the stone slab for the undertaker's shed/mausoleum. Only thing I'd probably change would be to use lamp posts instead of the fence/lantern combo you've got or maybe just replace the lanterns with one from the dungeon - the caged lantern, carriage lantern, brass lantern, and oil rag sconce all look appropriately gloomy, as does the hanging brazier (although the one's two tiles wide so you'd need wider supports) from obsidian crates.

Verviticus posted:are you getting torch/ladybug luck This reminds me, did you all get this memo? Luck does not work the way some of us initially thought, on closer inspection of the game's code. If you're above ground, placed torches do NOT matter! The game does not scan for them. You can only influence luck by holding a torch, which you'd never do for a long period unless AFK. This means the bone torches all over your Forest and Sky biomes are unnecessary, and you don't have to worry about matching torches anywhere unless your depth meter says "Underground" or below. You can confirm this by talking to the Wizard, who occasionally drops clues as to your current Luck value. Next: It turns out that good ladybug luck is NOT something that you can force manually to boost your gameplay. Player-released ladybugs do not count. Only touching natural ladybugs (from windy day) does. In fact, if you researched ladybugs in order to dump them everywhere before farming, you're actually *hurting* your luck because they provide no benefit and chances are one will be killed, dropping your luck for several minutes. Or, the game will use one as bait without you intending to, which counts as killing one and similarly gives you several minutes of bad luck! That's right, do not fish with ladybugs. Some relatable comments about this are found in Terraria wiki's Luck discussion page: quote:The Luck page has been stating that player released ladybugs will give the buff, so I was confused and wasted quite a bit of time testing and trying to make it work lol quote:The luck calculations are exactly the same as before, except torchLuck can't go below 0 and the game scans the area for torches more slowly (it used to scan three rows per frame, now it's just one). In practice, this just means torch luck will take slightly longer to update, but it should happen slightly more often than every second-and-a-half. However, and this is not new behavior, if you're not underground, the game doesn't bother scanning for torches and just uses whatever torch you're holding (if any) to calculate torch luck. quote:This whole, undocumented mechanic has just been one big, unesthetic Nightmare for me and I hope they patch it out again, so I can stop paying attention to it. quote:So if I understand this correct, players who want to play "optimal" better place torches they might not like, make sure to farm some Garden Gnomes for arenas or farm/fishing spots, spend lots of time fishing for lootbox-y Oysters (which are RNG inside of RNG) and hope you don't murder any Ladybugs by accident - which you might not even notice, because the debuff is hidden... Oh, and don't forget to kill the Guide. What? Yeah. Like I've said before, Luck and happiness remain as the most half-baked, strange mechanics in the game until further refinement. Far more convoluted and confounding than anything else -- and not much payoff for mastering it. Happy Thread fucked around with this message at 10:38 on Jun 12, 2020 |

Hey so, the DPT crew, or some of us, decided to run a 1.3.5.3 modded hellrun for anyone here who's interested. We're gonna try for keeping everyone is some semblance of their element by just asking people not to kill woffles for a while at which point the world will be duped into hardmode and prehard states. Maybe we're trying to complicate it too much, but hey, thats the fun of rarria. Basically just don't hardmode yet. The modpack file is at https://pastebin.com/S2r7FKPp (for newcomers, the file can be saved as any .json, place it at ~/Documents/My Games/Terraria/ModLoader/Mods/Mod Packs/), server is at 104.246.132.142:7777 E: Portable Storage, is a bit of a gently caress, it seems to especially be bad for servers, completely erroring out death messages, commands and some mods custom windows. We have henceforth lamblasted it. StealthArcher fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Jun 12, 2020 |

I'm sure this has already been said, but I'm LOVING journey mode on master difficulty. The ability to research stuff before you can duplicate it is brilliant. It's like creative mode that has to be earned incrementally first. Farming and grinding, esspecially in a non-mmo like this, is kinda dumb. Get enough of a certain block or resource, bam you're done for life. No need for going back and doing boring poo poo you've already done. Though, some stuff is quite a bit exploity, like researching coins.... Spend 100 copper coins to dupe them, 100 silvers, etc. Thankfully I have plenty self control to not do that. I've noticed that this has also drastically changed the way I play. I've noticed that I'm hardly using storage anymore. Not having to play inventory-juggle is very nice. I'm not eating all hearts I see anymore, just saving up 10 before going to town on 15 duped hearts all at once (I'm up to 5 saved, it's pretty difficult).

From what I've poked at in single player, Changing the difficulty won't change already existing enemy health on the fly. If I turn up the difficulty during Pumpkin moon, the displayed enemy health won't increase on already spawned enemies, only new ones. At the same time, turning the difficulty back down didn't reduce the displayed health from any enemies that spawned with higher health, only new enemies. I could understand that giving the impression "Nothing has changed" if you were staring at health bars or pop up tooltips waiting to see it's health bar increase in size in real time.

It seems journey mode doesn't actually halve the health of enemies, contrary to what the wiki states. e: OH, default journey mode difficulty starts at 0.5x, which you can change to 3x. Ah. Ass_Burgerer fucked around with this message at 04:32 on Jun 13, 2020 |

Oh, interesting, so this world I’m letting run wild, which happens to be crimson, eventually the surface crimson will get overtaken by hallow, barring any non-grass firewalls? But that wouldn’t happen if it were a corruption world? I’ll have to watch for that. Amusingly, the initial band managed to tag half a sky island and the hut is blocking the spread. So crimson on one side, regular on the other.

Still making my way through hard mode with a few friends, but I think I'm satisfied enough with what I've done with the NPC villages at this point. The rest of the crew that I play with isn't much for building things so it's mostly left to me every time we get into this game. Reverse snowglobe/biodome that functions as our main base (doesn't look as verdant in this screenshot since snapshot mode seems to not capture hanging vines):  Floating desert pyramid (I didn't make this one):  The obligatory giant mushroom (also doesn't look as nice due to hanging mushroom bits going invisible in snapshots):  Ocean biome beach house:  Graveyard biome church, plus some of the catacombs featuring all of our many gravestones over this playthrough:   Forest fishbowl castle:  Eye-searing underground party zone (not featured in a static image: 98% of your screen doing things at all times):  Hallow train:  Lunar lander above our arena, for respawns/heals (decided not to put this all the way in space because gently caress wyverns):
