I haven't seen this article posted yet, so: http://www.pcgamer.com/mod-support-and-more-frequent-updates-are-coming-to-terraria/ Biggest thing to take away here, in my mind, is that Red wants mod support, but can't promise it, especially since internal hardcoded limits are being approached.

I always thought the gory gibs whenever anything dies was kind of weird. Other than that the entire game is pretty tame, but then out of nowhere there's bloody chunks everywhere. I'm certainly not offended by it but it just seems like they could have taken that out and gotten a much broader rating pretty easily. Also the whole "the girls are on their period" blood moon thing is still pretty out of place.

Beef Hardcheese posted:The first time I played this game (years ago) I had no idea of what it was beyond a "Minecraft-like side scroller". The gory explosions from bunnies and goblins was a little surprising, but I didn't think too much of it. Then a half-seen Eye of Cthulhu ambushed me in the Underground and I just about crapped my pants.

Pumpkin and Frost Moon are straight up the dumbest and worst parts of the game, run them once each when you've got endgame equipment (and still probably die a bunch at the end of the night) and then never touch them again because they're stupid and not fun.

Because it's much, much more work to try to mod Terraria than to make a map for it. Terraria is not moddable like Minecraft.

The problem is when you get enormous clusters of projectiles (many that have at least partial homing) instead of patterns you have to learn and account for. Eye of Cthulhu is tough without the right equipment but you can learn its attacks and methods and compensate. Some of the later bosses, conversely, feel like bullet hell in a game that doesn't give you enough mobility to handle something like that. The Moon Lord has distinct patterns, but he's firing off three at a time and many of them are totally cluttered or involve heavily seeking projectiles or it's that goddamn laser sweep, so rather than preparing and compensating for each pattern while still trying to keep up damage, the whole fight becomes just a clusterfuck.

My personal strategy: Wait until you have any boots that boost run speed, chug a gravitation potion, run until you get at full speed, then flip upside down and keep running. Once you get so high the background starts to darken, flip again, back to normal. Keep running so that you maintain your horizontal speed, and keep flipping so you stay around the altitude at which the sky just begins to darken, at the edge of space. This is where floating islands spawn. If you keep running and tapping up to flip and stay at that general height, you'll cover the entire map at that height rather quickly and be able to spot any floating islands along the way.

It doesn't trivialize anything. You still swing at the same speed. You just have to keep clicking. Autoswing does not make attacking stronger or faster, just less inconvenient.

Man, I love these newbie trip reports. Seeing people discovering their way through the game really makes me wish I could play it for the first time again. Ever since release I've played almost every major patch to completion, nibbling on the new content, but it sure would be something to start totally blank and see everything in the game, as it is now, with new eyes.

CJacobs and other newcomers: My only advice at this point is to up your style a bit. Almost every building material can make a full furniture set with a theme -- palm wood makes beach themed island furnitue, boreal wood makes cozy snow-cabin furniture, and you can even make stuff out of slime, honey, bone, cactus, glass, etc. Each furniture set has tables, chairs, chandeliers, lamps, candles, that sort of thing. Then there's furniture you can grab from Hell or the Pirates. And of course, paintings and banners found all over the world, from floating islands and ruins to the Underworld. Not to mention between the painter, the traveling merchant, and the plethora of materials you have access to, there's all kinds of building blocks and background walls you can get. Don't be afraid to fancy up your base a bit -- it's especially easy now that smart cursor lets you quickly place/remove bg walls and you have hardmode tools to quickly knock them down. And definitely don't skimp on dye options. The Dye Trader's rare dyes will change your life. You don't know what luxury is till you're riding across your world on a flaming minecart or a shiny golden hornet.

Bargain bin Laden posted:Next up: Organize chests, get some better looking decor, make the rooms more thematic for their inhabitants. 1. Use lots of different types of chests for at-glance organizing. Whatever makes sense for you. For instance I put fish and caught animals in a palm chest because it looks like the kind of place you might store fish? Meteor chests for accessories since they look 'special', etc. 2. Use paint on golden chests to make them look radically different. Keep the style but color-code for even more easy reference! 3. Most important tip of all, that I didn't realize until far too late: Name your chests. Giving a chest a custom name makes that name show up when you mouseover it even from far away, so you quickly stop having to open chests to see whcih is which. Of course, all this became so much easier with the "deposit all to nearby chests" button. What a godsend that was.

Frost Moon and Pumpkin Moon are hands-down my least favorite events/encounters/bosses in the whole game, even expert Moon Lord you feel like you're striving against something, the Moons are so bad I literally thought my game bugged out the first time I got to the last wave.

Gravity potions are the best way to find floating islands, can be found in chests, and all you need to get started is a pair of Hermes (or similar) boots. Reach running speed, chug the potion, wait till you get to the height floating islands are found at (generally this is when the sky JUST BARELY begins to darken into the space bg), and keep moving with your full running speed while flipping repeatedly to stay at roughly that altitude. You'll be able to blitz past floating islands at running speed and that'll mark them on your map. Then you can come back after the potion wears off and rope up. If you start on the edge of a small world you'll have enough gravity potion to find all the islands in one run, assuming you can keep your momentum.

Just give me a single ultimate storage item that's like 5x5 tiles or more, which can hold an unlimited number of every item in caplesss numerical stacks, and can be sorted by type, alphabetically, by quantity, or searched for quick retrieval. Also allows modular ports to attach crafting stations.

Yeah I agree, Red's built up a lot of trust and goodwill and Terraria 2 is going to get a lot of that support. Unfortunately I can't say the same for Terraria: Otherworld, which he's not making.

Which seems good until you realize that because of how armor works, and because any given enemy can only be damaged so many times per second before weapons just start passing through, fewer big numbers are objectively better than many small ones.

A bed doesn't need to be in valid housing, I don't think. It just has to be inside. Which is why I usually set my spawn in an attic-like space, where NPCs can't move in.

The best chlorophyte farm is big floating blocks of mud down in hell, generally above the hellbridge you probably already built, spaced about 1 screen width apart. Put 1 chlorophyte ore in the middle to seed and you're good to go. They'll grow really fast and reliably, to the point you'll have more than you know what to do with in short order.

Ali Aces posted:Man ya'll talking about building chlorophyte farms, I don't get it. Flying around the jungle plowing through walls with mining and spelunker potions and a high-end pick/drill is pretty much the most fun you can have in this game. After all that slow, gradual digging with regular picks it's just so satisfying.

I really do not enjoy the invasions/"moons" and I think they're far and away the worst part of the game. Badly balanced, tedious, frustrating, not fun even when you win, and rarely worth going through. And I wish they'd stop adding more stuff like it. My last playthrough I completely avoided them as much as possible.

Also severely underestimating the amount of coin late/endgame reforges cost. You'll need a cash farm even in expert.

I actually think that in the right arena (which for most of the mech bosses is just a few long rows of platforms) Skeletron Prime is actually the easiest mechanical boss. The real problem is that he has so much health and defense that fighting him the first time could take all night. Crystal bullets and the clockwork assault rifle are my usual choices for him. So he's the easiest to survive but soaks up so much damage he can be hard to kill in time. Meanwhile the Destroyer is the quickest and possibly easiest to kill with the right weapon, but also the easiest to die to.

I wouldn't worry too much about spread unless your base gets hit with the initial swath of crimson/corruption, honestly. Crimson seeds don't need or cause biome changes, either. You may want to invest in either crafting pots from clay or buying planters from the dryad. It's much easier to farm herbs in them than on plain dirt/grass, because they won't get destroyed by a swung weapon and they don't need special terrain to grow.

I've only just started playing that big mod pack (the mod browser easily updating all the mods is a really swell feature), and I'm pretty amazed at the quality of some of these mods. I've seen some enemies I mistook for vanilla, and some new vanilla enemies that I thought "what mod is that from?", which is a good indication of the art, if nothing else. I'm pretty amazed at all the new mechanics too, from weapon suffixes to grab bag goodies, and I love that nearly every mod has added (in most places, suitably costly) recipes for super rare items that would otherwise require ages of grinding. I'm sure on a given playthrough I'll miss 80% of the new mod content because browsing items in-game I'm just seeing so many things I'll probably forget about. I especially love all the quality of life features like compressing common blocks for better storage, and something I've always wanted, the ability to smelt bars down back into ore. Then you've got auto chests and accumulators, customization chests, a slew of new decorations, and even the ability to turn lots of items into placeable trophies for display. Honestly the only mod so far I'm not thrilled with is Butterknife's Tech Mod, which looks kind of like an entire biome of developer placeholder art and whose mod page is basically "uh, I don't know... guns?"

Nuebot posted:The only real issue I have with that mod pack is that people seemed to really think the Jungle needed to not only be more annoying to traverse, but be the most annoying. I love fighting things that can go through walls in a place with poo poo all for mobility. I still haven't figured out how to fight any of the mod bosses though. Except for one. I was exploring and found an enemy called the "???" I killed it and a giant hell whale murdered me. It was pretty rad. Some of the bosses are ridiculously hard, and with like 5 different mods adding new equipment, sometimes you'll unlock a new material tier that gives you a bunch of crap weapons and one really good one, and finding which one works seems to be an ongoing learning experience here.
