Looking at the trailer it doesn't seem to have any autistic building in it, you just place ready made commie-blocks on each other. Seems a bit boring, building is half the game for me.

How come it's taking so long? Did they decide to turn it into another big update? Did they just get slowed down because of Otherworld being canceled and all?

Honest question, not trying to troll or bait here: what is it that you see in Terraria. For the love of God, I cannot see the appeal in this game, or Minecraft for that matter, so I would like to juster understand what it is that keeps you coming back.

I own Terraria, bought it on GOG when they got it and i played past the first boss (Eye of Cthulu). I'm not going to go into how the graphics look like a sprite-rip of Final Fantasy VI (to be fair, the sprites have gotten better over time), that is secondary. My experience with Terraria was basically "dig through dirt to collect materials to dig through more dirt to collect more material, so dig…". The building aspect is neat, but if I just wanted to build things with lego, why do I have to go through the tedious digging part? And if I want to explore and fight, why slow down that part with all the crafting and building? Also, the combat is really floaty and shitty.

I think the straw that broke the camel's back for me was when I was deep underground, slipped, fell to my death and lost all my gear. I would have had to tediously grind all that shit again because I couldn't get down to my original stuff. And then the goblins invaded and broke half of my structures, so I would have had to grind for those as well.

Is it just something that calms your autism? If it is like playing with Lego, do you use some mods that give you infinite resources and turn off monsters?

>>15175979

>dig through dirt

You're supposed to find caves and explore those instead. Especially underground jungle and hell are mostly open areas with minimal digging required. The dungeon is specially made for exploring rather than digging.

>lost all my gear

The mistake you made was not playing softcore. Don't be misled by the names of the "difficulty" settings, there's a reason why "mediumcore" is called "tediumcore".

The fun to me is looking for resources while surviving against enemies, and possibly finding rare loot along the way, and then preparing the items to fight the next boss. I play in expert mode because otherwise it's too easy.

>>15175979

It's not all about autistic building like in Minecraft, big part of the appeal comes from spelunking, boss fights and gear/character progression. Then you add some building to the mix cause your NPC's need a place to stay and you want a safe respawn but outside the utility of it, you can go pretty balls deep in the detail work in order to make it look pretty.

Also be smart about consumables, if you make spelunking potions that show ore location on the map it's not very grindy as some new players seem to think. You can easily grow all the ingredients in your base besides the gold/platinum ore.

The combat fun comes from the wide range of weapons and their different effects alongside hard and challenging bosses. Melee is pretty lame and showcases the simplicity of the combat more so stick to ranged or magic which both have a great variety.

Play softcore (on expert if you want better boss fights and special loot) like above posters mentioned.

>>15176096

Also armor and accessories add a ton of ways to play and minmax your character in different ways. Later on all armor have special effects and there's a great and of combinable accessories. I always run around with my quickbar filled to the brim with different spells to the point that I only fit a pickaxe on it outside of my magic.

And the progression and accessory hunting becomes even more insane with mods like Calamity that adds as many bosses, weapons, armor, events and accessories as the base game already has effectively doubling the amount of content. And all the sprites and effects are of great quality and blend in nicely with the game

Would anyone here be up for starting a new /v/ server´? Preferably starting with fresh characters and in expert mode

>>15176126

only if theres going to be erp involved

if there is no erp involved i cannot play

So I torrented Starbound and gave it a spin, and while the gameplay was bad I liked the worldly aspects of it, like having a town with NPCs and such to talk and interact with.

Are there any mods for Terraria that add this aspect of gameplay?

>>15176249

No, now leave this thread.

>>15175967

>Did they decide to turn it into another big update

Yes, this is how it's always been with terraria devs

>decide to make small quick updates

>start getting destracted by hundreds of different things

>end up making a huge fucking update instead

>>15177084

Not sure about Starbound but I don't hate the idea of Terraria having NPCs that have their own sorts of civilisations separate from yours

>>15175979

>chooses difficulty setting where inventory is dropped upon death

>dies

>drops his inventory

>quits in frustration

I didn't know DSP posted on 8chan.

Memes aside though, you should have picked softcore. In Minecraft it works to drop your stuff on death because the game's equipment progression is very short and shallow, but Terraria is designed like a sandbox metroid game where new equipment permanently stays with you and unlocks new movement options, damage potential, and minable materials. Losing equipment breaks the game's flow, in my opinion. If you want a comfy, or dare I say fun experience, choose softcore. If you're doing a roguelike speedrun, do Hardcore. If softcore is too easy, play on an expert world.

i want to fuck the dryad

>>15177084

>>15176320

i remember a gnome village from a mod mentioned in a previous thread

>>15178059

Dryad is for putting a summer dress on.

Do not lewd the dryad.

>>15178578

what if i put salad dressing on the dryad (dick salad dressing)

>>15175979

>Medcore

No, that's a mistake. Softcore is forgiving, Hardcore is basically one life. Medcore gives you the tedium of hardcore, but the longevity of softcore and puts it in a really shitty spot.

The fun comes from exploran, diggan, and progressan

>>15178652

Then Habib Al-Salad will go kaboom on you.

>>15177084

I've given Terraria much more time than Starbound and I can safely say that while you certainly can build your own town you won't be able to interact with the NPCs in any meaningful way other than shopping.

I'm looking for an established world I can mold to my liking, rather than building everything from ground up and talking to cardboard cutout vending machines.

>>15176320

Make me fuccboi

>>15178999

Terraria DOES have an established world - except the Corruption scrambles it until a hero appears, and stuf

So is there any way to grief nowadays? Every server's behind a heavy lock of some sort, but the thought of fucking with shitty servers/shitty people is always fun.

>>15179105

yes there is

>>15179105

There are custom clients that allow you to edit items into your inventory in real time, they're especially useful to grief servers that use server side characters such as the reddit server.

>>15180649

"Where's my items" Does this.

>>15180649

Magic Storage, once you get to around meteorite level you can set up remote access points which all lead to a singular storage space which can be upgraded and allows you to search for specific items and in specific categories of items. Not multiplayer friendly though and sometimes prone to crashing.

>>15180658

>>15180661

Thanks. I'll check them out.

Haven't picked up this game in a while.

A lack of inventory systems in voxel-based games can get very annoying, very quickly for me.

>>15178909

what if i put a wedding dress on the dryad

>>15175967

Those faggot devs are too busy porting to the switch.

>>15181582

A little too degenerate for my tastes but if she has permission from her parents I guess it's okay.

This game is boring

>>15175863

I just wish building meant more than playing with legos. Doing the bare minimum has same effect of going all autistic out.

Minecraft was the same way for me. Had these ideas of stuff to build, but realizes it mattered not one bit in gameplay.

>>15183048

this. it's essentially a fidget spinner meant to pacify legitimate autists

>>15183058

if thats the case why dont you give it a whirl?

>>15183058

Why would autists play this garbage when they can play a heavily modded Minecraft or Dwarf fortress hell even skyrim is good for autism I dont think autists are the people who post in these threads its probably just retards.

>>15175573

Why do you have a picture of Karl Marx in your Terraria house?

Mediumcore is fun. Treating all equipment as disposable and always needing to plan ahead to have an escape route, an accessible path to where you are, and enough backup gear to reliably return to where you were makes most of the game much more fun and is a unique experience neither softcore nor hardcore provide. Its main problems are that it's awful for invasions and the Moon events since you don't get a chance to re-equip before shit starts phasing into your spawn point, and that if you're playing singleplayer and you need to stop playing before retrieving your equipment (eg due to time constraints or emergencies), it's all gone forever - when the point of mediumcore is that you don't lose everything forever, unlike hardcore. Both of these are especially bad late game, when invasions become the main content, and most items require large amounts of grinding and time investment. Because of this, I think mediumcore is only fun up until around when the mech bosses are defeated, and I feel like most of the content added from 1.2 on haven't been made with mediumcore in mind.

>>15185275

my only problem with mediumcore is losing all the hearts since those are a finite item.

>>15183219

I’ll bite this bait.

Dwarf Fortress isn’t even the same kind of game that’s like asking someone why they’re playing Hearts when they could be playing Texas Hold ‘Em. Vanilla minecraft has no content compared to terraria and you’d have to mod the shit out of minecraft for it to come even close. So much that it would be more trouble than it’s worth. As for skyrim, it’s just a shit game even with mods it doesn’t have much going for it aside from waifus

>>15191180

I don't see pod 6 blowing up. That's no Sealab!

>>15191180

Man that's a cool looking world

Shame terraria doesn't have seeds

>>15191200

id love to provide my seed.

to the dryad.

>>15191200

It does have seeds.

>The World Seed feature enables the display of the random seed used to generate a Terraria world, and allows the user to input a custom seed manually when generating a new world. This feature is experimental, and requires that "UseExperimentalFeatures" is set to "true" in the config.json settings.

>>15176126

Yes I would be interested in an autistic /v/ server starting from scratch with new characters.

>>15194286

Is block swap still not out? Been waiting months.

any tips for new player? what would you have done differently when you first started with the knowledge you have now?

>>15194553

>Play on softcore

>If the game is too easy make an expert world (you can migrate your character to a new world if you start on normal and later change your mind)

>Have some basic sorting system when dumping shit in your chests (one for ores, one for plants, etc)

>Abuse the guide, show him any item and you'll see what it can be turned into

>You can exit the game to return to spawn (until you get items to do it for you)

>Spelunker Potions (and many other potions) are great and it's totally worth having a bunch of pots to grow alchemy reagents in

>Build long multi-layered wood platforms arenas for boss fights, add sunflowers and bonfires for speed and health regen

>Fashion accessory slot is nice for keeping situational accessories while not in use, such as ones that help with building

>Dig straight down until you reach hell (aka hellevator) near your base for quick access to various underground caves and hell itself, rope the entire way for easier access (you don't need to get all the way down straight away, it's a nice tactic for finding caves to explore even when starting out)

That's all I can think of for now.

>>15194647

thanks a lot man I'm going to save this to a notepad

>>15194647

Heres a few more:

>Collecting heart crystals increase your health, get lots.

>If you go over 200hp that's a flag for the first boss to random spawn, try to avoid that until your ready

>you can easily tell where dungeon/jungle will be because they're always on the opposite side of eachother

>Had a world where my base was a drill digging into the earth

>Different segments of the drill forming homes for the various NPC's

>Had a hard drive failure so it's gone forever

Now all I have is some tree base because I've not felt inspired to build anything in forever.

>>15194729

>Collecting heart crystals increase your health, get lots.

To add to this, Spelunker potions makes them glow and the whole process becomes much easier.

Also

>Craft a bed to make new spawn. To do this craft a sawmill, notably requires "chain" (a drop or costs 10 iron or led at anvil), with the sawmill you craft a loom, at the loom you turn spider web into silk and can now make a bed at the sawmill.

>>15194553

>>15194647

you actually dont specifically need pots to grow herbs but youll have to be more careful about breaking them with weapons before theyre ready to harvest which can be a bit of a hassle in invasion scenarios.

if you find explosives build houses until you have room for a demolitionist. and use sticky bombs to mine fun and fast. definitely use sticky bombs to mine meteorite ore. bombs can break ebonstone and crimstone too.

hold control or is it shift for a context sensitive tool, for example doing that over a tree will select your axe.

theres another feature called smart cursor which can help when putting in background walls. i forget how to use it.

when building a boss arena use plenty of platforms since youll be able to drop through, jump on to or hook them instead of just being able to walk on them. throw down a bunch of campfires and sunflowers while youre at it.

dont neglect the well fed buff, the bonus move speed is especially useful to help dodge boss attacks.

Keep track of spider nests when you find them, the hairdresser NPC is discovered bound up inside them, but they are also an endless source of cobwebs. If you make a 2 block wide vertical tunnel or a 3 block high diagonal tunnel with sloped edges spiders cannot get in but you can move through, making it easier to deal with them as they are generally too big.

>>15184998

>>15185035

And his character is black…

>>15195161

To jump off of this point- how do you make corruption containment tunnels diagonally?

I know corruption/crimson won't spread if you make a 6 block wide vertical shaft (or 6 tall horizontal tunnel)- with the 1st and 6th block being filled with uncorruptable material like gray brick.

Basically, if corruption can't find a block to corrupt in a 3 block radius in any direction, it can't spread.

Does this include diagonally? If so, is it enough just to build the diagonal shaft 4/6 blocks tall like outlined above, or would there be areas that are narrow enough for corruption to spread?

If I do get diagonal shafts working once it goes into hard-mode, do I even need to divide up all my biomes via those shafts? Or will corruption/hallow spread too fast for it to even be a worth-while venture?

>>15176465

I spent far too long making those corruption break tunnels. I kind of hope not.

Then again in my recent world, the corruption is next to the Jungle.

>>15194553

>>15194647

>>15194654

>>15194729

Sage since I posted already.

Here's some more:

> Each ore has an equivilant and one of the two generate in your world. Copper/Tin - Lead/Iron, etc.

> Gear get bonuses when you wear a complete set. So a copper helm, chestplate, and legs give extra defense. Keep an eye on this bonus, as at times the next piece of gear up the "tiers" may be better than the bonus.

> Once you have all the iron/Lead gear you need, keep looking for the ore and making the bars up. It's used in a lot of items, not to mention buckets. Buckets are great for getting water out of your way when digging down, making a lake near your base, or dumping water on lava later to make obsidian.

> If you see weird black spikey or red and eye-ball covered objects in the world- these are alters. Typically they spawn in the corruption or crimson, but occasionally they appear outside it. Keep in mind where these are. You can use them as a crafting station to make boss summoning items.

> If you get a crate while fishing- do not open it until you are in hardmode. You'll know when Hardmode starts. Hardmode spawns new ores, and keeping a stack of crates can give you a ton easily, saving a lot of grinding & searching. Without spoilers, the action you take to make more ore spawn in your world causes other biomes to spread. If you're not careful, your whole world could be converted this way. As you get fishing quests from an NPC, you'll find them easily, though there is a potion that makes crates more common.

> Save silt, slush, and desert fossils when you find them. If you get an extracinator, you can get a lot of money and ores from it.

> Save Sand to make glass and glass bottles for alchemy. Take a glass bottle to a body of water and you can make water bottles for alchemy. Save clay to make bowls. Bowl + Goldfish + Mushroom with a cooking pot makes a soup that buffs your stats for a bit. Goldfish are more common while it rains.

> Buy a bug net when you can. There is a very rare chance you'll find a golden animal. You can sell it for 10 gold, or make it a decoration.

> You can carry up to 50 bombs and 30 dynamite per stack. Both of these can be converted into sticky bombs and sticky dynamite.

> There is a max health and max mana. Once you get to 400 mana, don't bother converting fallen stars into mana crystals. Mana crystals do nothing while Fallen Stars have many uses. Life Crystals are also worth picking up even if you max out your health. Both Life Crystals and Fallen Stars can be turned into objects that grant health and mana regen when placed- like a fire-place. Great for boss arenas.

> Trees do not grow if there is a wall behind them. Replant your acorns when you cut down a tree or regret it later.

> Don't turn all your cobwebs into silk. They are used in other stuff.

> If possible, build your base so your crafting tables are right next to chests of stuff that use them. I.e. Furance next to a chest full of ore, anvil next to a chest full of bars, etc. While you have a chest open, you can still craft. It saves you having to put it into your inventory and drag it over to the crafting station each time.

> If you find a thin vertical shaft one block wide- dig straight down! If you're lucky you may find something cool. If not, keep in mind how deep you are, as other shafts in your world will also have that surprise at the same depth level.

> Watches made of different material can be turned into different things. The "better" the material, the more accurate the clock is.

> If you find an area that sort of looks like a valley or chasm- lots of gnarled up ground with some dirt blocks in the air- try looking above it once you can get high without dying on landing. Remember- if you use a Gravity Shift potion, you keep momentum (i.e. it considers how many blocks you fell to calculate fall damage- no matter how many times you shifted)

>>15195209

>how do you make corruption containment tunnels diagonally?

>if corruption can't find a block to corrupt in a 3 block radius in any direction, it can't spread.

I'm not sure if those tunnels have enough space but one way to make sure corruption wont spread is to fill it with something that can't be corrupted such as Grey Bricks. So if those tunnels aren't enough, just change the outer layer to something else and it should be fine.

>>15195637

Spider caves? Heres how I deal with them: Dynamite. Those monsters spawn in the presence of those wall blocks. Said wall blocks also generate spiderweb. Destroy the walls and all the spiderweb, and they can't spawn.

Or just flood it with lava.

server wen

>>15194286

I don't understand. Why do you guys always build above ground? Underground is objectively better. Not only do you get the natural protections afforded from being underground but you're kept cooler as well.

>>15195865

>Start hard mode

>Wraiths chimp out and kill your town

ahuhuhu~

Anyone know how to get that fucking TModloader installed on non-DRM/Linux versions? The asshole who was maintaining it disappeared ages ago and now I feel like I'm never going to get to try out all those mods I've been looking forward to for a while. I just wanted to try out Thorium. Can't you install mods without the loader?

>>15195865

>>15195880

There's a set layer where the weakest monsters spawn and its clear that is where the devs want you to build. I used to build into the snow biome underground back when snow and ice blocked corruption spread.

>>15196101

Make it yourself and feel the libre blow through your hair.

>>15185275

The biggest problem with mediumcore is those invasion events that don't end until you kill enough enemies. You can seriously fuck yourself in one of those if your equipment is lost too far away to retrieve after respawning.

>>15194553

-Right-click to equip shit easily, alt-click to lock things in place and prevent accidentally dropping an important weapon somewhere you forget, use the auto-unload button to get rid of stuff into already sorted chests and save yourself time opening each chest to deposit individually

-The Merchant sells rope, torches, and glowsticks

-Normal mode is easy, missing various items that drastically improve the game experience, and has more tedious drop rates, don't waste your time on it.

-Hunting around for chests in the dirt-walled lower surface layer (where traps don't spawn) is a great way to power up quickly

-Weighted pressure plates make automatic doors and double spawn point constructions

-Keep recall potions on hand once hardmode opens up, mirror warping is too slow and WILL get you killed.

-Don't fuck around with hallowed/crimson/corrupted mimics

-Don't fuck around with jungle tortoises

-DO NOT FUCK AROUND WITH MOTHRON

>>15195729

but no really Server when?

SOMEONE HOST A /V/ SERVER

My internet is too unreliable for that shit. If you have good internet host on some shitty laptop or something pls.

>>15196861

>62.5KB/s upload

>2MB/s download

>am egyptian

Anybody but me please host.

>>15197363

Yes, teleporters are sold by the Steampunker npc in hardmode after beating a mechanical boss. You have to connect each one with wire, and make sure they are connected to a switch unless you prefer the pressure pad method.

>>15197405

>>15197393

>Steampunker

Fug, guess I'll have to work at beating more bosses again. Just got to the dungeon for the first time

>>15197564

the only thing preventing this game from being absolute nightmare fuel are the cute pixel graphics

>>15197090

ya got a link to that wiki?

>>15206533

https://terraria.gamepedia.com/Upcoming_features

>>15194553

>Cooked fish (Bass, Salmon, Trout, etc. over a fire) provide a 20 minute Well Fed buff. It may not be as long as some of the others, but for the time requirement to get cooked fish is significantly less than other items that provide the buff.

>Don't be afraid to play Terraria in windowed mode and keep the wiki open in a browser and Alt-Tab, there's a shit ton of items, and many of the crafting items aren't well explained from the guide.

>A cheap way to get to the spawn without a potion/mirror is to go into the settings menu, then click on Save & Exit. This will just make it to where you have to select the world, and you're back at the spawn.

>Be careful with the mirror, I don't know how many times I prematurely went to spawn while in the middle of something like mining or fighting.

>Collect chests. They're everywhere, and incredibly useful.

>If you're mining and you have no space, place down a chest with everything you don't need like dirt, stone, and wood.

>If you don't want to forget the location of something useful like a Biome Chest, I like to place a 3x3 square of torches on the wall near it, making it visible on the map.

>The piggy bank/safe is incredible, hold useful/important things in there.

>Extra Life Crystals can be used in Heart Lanterns which help with healing, and can stack with campfires.

>Walking in Honey provides a buff to healing, and will continue to last a bit after you've walked out of the honey.

>Honey doesn't evaporate in the Underworld, so it's a great material to stop your fall in hellevators.

>I like to build "shacks." Little houses that really just have a bed and basic furnishing allowing you to spawn there and accept extra NPCs while you are busy, it's also fun to construct them into full houses.

>>15206868

I just thought of another thing. Change the cursor color. I find the default red cursor incredibly easy to lose in the background, so I made it so that the border was white, haven't lost it since.

>>15209469

As a follow-up question, is the Overhaul mod any good? Looks a bit overwhelming and like there's a lot of potential for the creator to fuck up minor stuff.

Does Terraria have a monstergirl mod by any chance?

>>15209532

Better get Fargo's Souls and Enchantments too for those nice accessories and boss summoning items.

>>15209887

Thanks for the suggestion, that one looks great.

>>15209850

8 lead or iron at a crafting table lets you make a lightning rod. Also don't put torches on anything you don't want burned. This includes grassy stone underground.

>>15209970

The lategame items are pretty OP, but from what I've heard, so is calamity stuff.

And you'll have to have pretty much every item in the game for the really powerful stuff.

>>15209482

Not as far as I'm aware sadly.

>>15209532

>>15209850

I can't say that I really like Overhaul much. When used with a lot of the major content mods together it can bog things down for me. At least last I tried. Not to mention, some thing are practically instant death as it remove your invul frames practically requiring the accessory to restore them.

>>15209887

>>15209970

I like Infinity - Endless Items. Typically if you can get a full stack of a potion it allows you to convert it to an endless use version of the potion so you don't have to worry about supplies. It does it for ammunition too.

>>15210335

>>15210369

>Overhaul

Some things that bothers me so far is that my character starts spamming jump until I stop at random times (only happened maybe twice or thrice). I've also rolled without hitting the key for it, which is bound to my mouse so I know I didn't hit by accident.

>>15210369

Poor choice of words since I didn't exactly recall the issues I had until I had just now tried it. I have a modlist on the larger end of memory consumption and Overhaul. I don't remember any conflicts with Fargo's, but IIRC I think it may have duplicate entries.

>>15210369

What magic creating station? And fucking /v/ serb when?

>>15214329

Magic storage has a part where you can implement all sorts of crafting stations and use the materials straight from the storage.

I'm not sure I can even play without it anymore, it's unbelievable handy.

>>15210048

Especially now that NPC can actually drown.

>>15214301

The only one i've ever tried was the orignal experience and classes on the ol' /tg/ server.

That was before he started rolling out nerfs for things so i have no clue if it's any good now.

>>15195261

>Hardmode spawns new ores

You get most of the new ores by breaking alters with the hammer that drops from WoF.

still waiting on that hopefully modded serbian

>>15217642

who da cutie?

>>15217642

>jungle ruins

This is exactly how the jungle temple should generate in the world, with part of it sticking out of the surface.

>>15216256

You mean the Thorium mod right? Because the spirit mod doesn't add any new classes.

>>15220533

The snow ambience theme is what makes it most comfy. I go a few blocks underground and make a back wall with glass before I get too deep and the background changes.

>>15220815

I've tried the glass thing before too, but can't get the lighting right. It's only ever good for one room or a small region. You must be pretty good at architecture if you're able to do it effectively.

Still no serb?

Terraria is a great game but I can't enjoy it anymore.

There's only so maps I had in me, only so many buildings, only so much I can do before going "Fuck this, I don't want to make something nobody is ever going to see".

Which in turns make the maps boring as fuck and tedious to look at, while I sigh thinking about the huge fucking city I had built before, all the arenas, all the farms, all the everything.

Terraria is a good game but unless a truly gargantuan updates hits I doubt I'll ever play it again.

>>15221388

That seems to be the problem for a lot of players here. I think in T2, the devs should add blueprints, or custom building macros that can be shared between players.

>>15221399

And they should add back enemies that can fuck up your blocks.That game is not meant for you to be always safe.

>>15221239

I make a huge room with a hallway at the bottom I walk on that's lit, the top isn't and I rely on daylight to light it up. It isn't minecraft and you don't need to put torches everywhere, I put NPC housing on one end of the big chamber and the guide's house in the entrance room from the other side.

>>15221399

>blueprints

One of the best thing that DQ Builders ever did.

>>15217642

>just all of that

Goddamn anon im jelly. I wish I had the imagination that you do when it comes to building things

One of the things I would tend to do is try to "civilize" the world.

So I would build my home but then I would spend so much time brick-laying and then later asphalt laying the land. Making it easy to traverse.

Even as I explored caves and such.

This was mostly because I played on that hardcore mode so being able to easily get back to the items was a must. Also being cautious.

When I did die, I would recover the grave stone and put it in a graveyard I made.

This is making me want to play again. I would love to open up a server to everyone here but in the past my experiences are that within a day the whole world will be covered in lava and water.

>>15221816

last terraria server i was on was pretty good.

It was modded any everyone was working together to build shit.

We had lots of good builds too, such as >>15175902

And there was some sort of tree for a bit to the right of it.

I think it was mostly because of revengance mode which would add insanity overtime if not near a building.

Either way, it was fun and it's a damn shame the hostfag had to go disappear with the world that was built.

>>15222380

could be some kind of painted bricks. maybe those pink slab walls or tin bricks. similar texture.

Server fucking when my dude

>>15224444

its to show the various connections. look at how the fences corners look different.

>>15196101

I haven't done this in a while, someone posted this in a previous thread some months back, but it should still work

>The GOG version of Tmodloader is outdated, so you need to hex edit the Terraria.exe included in the steam version of Tmodloader, search for "00 0A 0F 00 17", and change the 0x17 to 0x16. This will disable steam initialization and allow you to use it with the GOG version.

>>15224705

Where did they find this out?

>>15224705

Wait, so I need to use the DRM-pozzed version of Tmodloader to install on the DRM-free version? Or do I need the DRM-free version of Tmodloader but just need to include the file from the DRM-pozzed version? Because if it's the latter the issue is the DRM-free Tmodloader maintainer doesn't even keep the server hosting all the patch files maintained anywhere, I literally can't download the shit I need.

>>15222380

I think it's a checkerboard of wood wall and ebonwood wall painted brown.

>>15224711

>>15224715

Dunno exactly how it was found out, but I've done it before and it worked

From the tmodloader page on the terraria forums, download the steam version, unzip it, then hex edit the included Terraria.exe. Presumably you need to put that .exe in the folder of your DRM free version and launch using it instead of the original, but keep a backup of the original just in case something fucks up

Like I said, it's been a while, so I'm not experimenting with it again, but I believe in you anon

>>15224381

>asking for a server

Just what I want to do, start from scratch the 1000th time because 2 or 3 autists enjoy slogging through pre hardmode bosses over and over and over and over again.

>>15224978

>building dirt houses and basic wood houses

>not creating monoliths with later game materials and decorations

You can build your commie block all you want, but don't fucking call me out because I use wings to make a spire.

>>15225010

>psshhh if youre not using rainbow blocks youre not really building anything kiddo

>>15225091

>assumptions and projections

Everyone else runs out to murder the bosses, I'm in the corner making an empire.

>>15225091

I also like to feasibly gather material for circuits and devices and not wait until you fucks get done breaking through to the first layer because you need to RP remove each block and place it on the surface.

>>15225194

Is it really an empire when you're the only one there?

>>15225205

In my mind it is;_;

>>15225206

If only you could build a clockwork army of spiders and automatons, and burrow deeper into the earth until you made your own personal city of machines.

>>15225723

bricks killed legos tbh

>>15225723

builderfags killed the server hosts

I was thinking about trying that leveling mod in my next playthrough, what difference does it make?

>>15226572

I love the fish banners over the fire.

Started playing this a couple days ago and absolutely love it except for the god awful soundtrack. It's really hit and miss. Saved up for the minishark and then stupidly upgraded to the star cannon…which runs on fallen stars?

Didn't quite think that through. Now I have to save for another minishark since fallen star farming is an absolute ballache. Playing on a large expert world with a skybridge across half of it….and running across takes like 5 minutes and nets me 20 stars….a bit crap when this gun fires 5 a second…

How can I effectively farm stars? I heard about hoiking but don't quite understand how I can make slopped blocks. With a world larger than 10,000 blocks across it seems impractical to do this across the whole map.

>>15227612

I've never really looked at ways of farming stars other than basic skybridges.

Are you talking about making some sort of sloped funnels that lead into each other which then concentrate into a single one?

Anyway

>don't quite understand how I can make slopped blocks.

You use a hammer.

>>15227792

Did some testing and made a skybridge about 300 blocks long with a 2nd layer on top of sloped bricks pointing into my base. It works, but I'm only getting 300 / 8,400 (so about 4%) coverage and it took 15 minutes to make, maybe 20. I'm guessing making a full hoik skybridge will be north of 10 hours work seeing as I'm on a large map and there are supposedly 8 sky platforms I'd need to fully dismantle so that the coverage is absolute. Have only encountered 2 floating platforms so far and they're small but likely tedious to destroy.

>>15224705

>>15224741

Wow, I can't believe it was that easy.

Kek what fags. I just downloaded overhaul, never modded this game before. Wish me luck.

>>15231463

>>15232489

I wish there was a mod like Overhaul that mostly added the weather stuff I'm not a big fan of the movement changes, they make everything feel so floaty.

>>15232555

Checked.

JUST

I'm using the Throium mod, are "Sea Scales bugged? They're supposed to have 100% drop rate from certain enemies but I spent 20 minutes killing shit in the ocean without a single drop.

Meanwhile I have over 100 fucking "Depth Scales".

>>15232489

>>15232489

>never modded this game before

Check out some of the major content mods, they add a ridiculous amount of content to the game.

I use Spirit, Thorium and Calamity right now.

>>15232635

I'm not sure which scales are which, but I think one kind only spawns in hardmode.

>>15232555

Maybe if the developer wasn't such a faggot about making le Brutal Doom of Terraria then he'd make it modular.

>>15232661

That's weird, I don't think I had any problems getting those.

>>15232669

I disabled Spirit and Calamity and instantly got a bunch of them. They're supposed to all be compatible though.

>>15235208

Terraria needs a gondola mod.

>>15235213

i was thinking super paper mario

>>15235187

Oh god damn it my wavebanks are all gonna be busted now.

>tfw you will never have the effort to create actually good houses and not commieblocks

:(

>>15235326

underrated soundtrack.

>>15237247

the islands in the first pic are so thin they make me nervous.

>>15237260

Yeah good point, I've been thinking about making them a bit thicker, especially as the amount of buildings has slowly increased.

>>15237305

Also I'll probably add some basements to a few houses while I'm at it. Not really a possibility with current thickness.

>>15239087

Sounds like all you want to do is destroy other people's work.

>>15239087

There's nothing stopping this kind of thing, it could just be toggled at worldgen. Though NPCs being killed/scattered and needing to be collected again would probably get boring kinda fast.

>>15237247

Chimneys are 3x3. I remember this because I just spent twenty minutes rebuilding an entire house (and a chunk of the neighboring building) to make it one tile wider because I wanted a chimney at the top of the roof.

>>15238798

well theres not a second background layer. i think it would interfere with the other work youve got going on. maybe make a backup before you go through with it.

>>15241556

You may be right. I just feel like it needs something though. I wish they would make an Oriental biome. That would probably solve the problem.

>>15244196

You could try to make the mountain out of actuated blocks, or alternatively make it out of wall and remake the pillars out of actuated blocks. But if you did either of those you wouldn't be able to grow trees there any more.

>>15245746

That shrine is incredible, I wish I could make things like this.

>>15175979

You started out on the wrong difficulty. If you're playing Mediumcore or Hardcore it's because you know the game in and out and are going for a challenge run. Softcore lets you keep your shit.

The real appeal of the game is that on Softcore it's all about progression, getting past the first barrier into the next, learning your own ways to survive, creating your equipment bit by bit, always becoming stronger.

It's not my bag, but I can understand why people like it. Terraria didn't attract much autism, mainly because it's all about character and knowledge progression, building is just secondary. You can play it alone like a regular RPG.

The objective isn't to build a giant golden cock, the objective is to learn enough about how the game works to bend it over and fuck it vigorously.

>>15245955

Grey paint and brown paint is your friend.

>>15249414

Damn that's pretty good anon.

>>15249414

Damn that's one hell of an autistic waste of time anon.

Still looking for someone to play Terraria with, I got a neat sound mod.

>>15249601

A sound mod?

>>15249601

If you put up a server I'll join.

>>15249607

Yeah, replaced some XNB files to some postal, doom, etc.

>>15249688

I can only do steam invites and shit, since I can't into portforwarding and such.

>>15249803

Do you play Mabinogi

>>15250209

Everyone's first base/10

>Thorium only adds two classes

Am I missing something here? Is there another mod this is supposed to add onto?

>>15251404

well the game by itself already has 4 classes so that's not bad i'd say

>>15251526

Technically 5 but one disappears in hardmode.

So then

>Thorium

>Spirit

>Magic Storage

<kind of iffy about Calamity and Overhaul

Anything I'm missing?

>>15252128

i'd say calamity is fine, might seem a little rough around the edges but it adds a lot of post-moonman content

>>15252128

Overhaul tends to not play well with other mods, I'd say switch that with WeaponOut as the full version of that adds fun fist weapons and other nice things. Calamity adds a fuckton of post-moonlord shit, much more than any of the other mods.

>>15252128

Overhual is pretty much brutal doom for terraria.

Don't use it, it's fucking useless and doesn't work well with other mods.

>Anything I'm missing?

I highly recommend getting mods like VeinMiner, Where's my items, recipe browser, boss checklist and wmitf

>>15252306

>veinminer

please god no

>>15252319

mining a shit, veinminer is cool.

>>15252321

but it makes mining speed almost pointless

also i remember using it when playing with some other anons once and i have seen the depths of hell

let's just say that it ended up with us seeing how crazy we can go with removing all the dirt/stone underground then promptly removing it

>>15252331

>removing all the dirt/stone

wat?

VeinMiner doesn't work on dirt/stone. Only ores.

>>15252339

You can whitelist ANYTHING to be usable with it.

>>15252643

>infinity

Thanks for reminding me to add that to my list.

>>15253251

>or if it had something to do with me running the game before installing the .jar like the tremendous fucking dumbass that I am

If that's it then you should be able to just run it again and it'll be fine.

>>15253293

Which I had already tried, so I guess that rules that out.

>>15253332

Have you tried going into steam and Verify Integrity of Game Files then running the jar?

>>15250209

It actually makes me so fucking angry how similar this looks to my first, oldest and best base even after all the changes and more details I have added over all the years.

Seriously fuck you. Suffice to say I think it looks fine.

>>15252588

>not using bombs

>>15253732

Some ores can't be mined using bombs

>>15253741

just ores and dungeon/reptar bricks though, if he wants to remodel his base it should be alright a huge fuckin mess

>>15253407

It seemed to get the game running properly, but I'm not seeing any options showing up letting me actually load mods into the game. Do I have to actually download a mod for it to detect first?

>>15253938

You just reinstalled the vanila exe, you have to reinstall the modloader version again.

This time, make sure you have the correct version of tmodloader and extracted AND OVERRIDE it using 7zip instead of using their jar installer.

Noob friendly steps:

0) MAKE SURE THE GAME ISN'T RUNNING!

1) get the right version of tmodloader and 7zip https://github.com/blushiemagic/tModLoader/releases (you'll have to search for 7zip)

2) open steam, right click terraria > Properties > Local files > browse local files

3) copy terraria.exe and rename it terrariavanilla.exe backing up the game so you can run vanila without uninstalling tmodloader

4) open up the tmodloader zip file

5) extract the contents and overwrite everything into the game's folder (the one with the exe)

6) Restart steam

7) run the game

serb when :^)

>>15254266

i'd host one but i got shitternet

>>15251910

And then comes back with a vengeance at the very end of the game with the Daybreak.

SERVER UP

or at least im trying to host one

100.4.86.171:7777

pw: 8ch

>>15255969

Should I make a new character for that?

>>15255984

Yeah, it's expert vanilla fyi

>>15255969

Hostfag u fucking autist that better be a modded version. At least overhaul.

>>15254212

I know all of this, I know what I'm doing. I've done those exact steps. I tried it again and it still causes it to crash.

But I'm not working on Windows, I'm on Mint. Linux gets p7zip, so I'll have to try that out. It could also be that I got the wrong files in the installation package, even though it clearly says Linux on the .zip filename. But I saw files for Windows in the package, which I'm not sure is normal. When I get the chance, I'll have to download a fresh installation package, or maybe try an older version.

>>15255993

>vanilla

Miss me with that gay shit.

>>15255969

Whelp, someone post in here when this is active again.

God damn I love this game so much. It is probably my favourite ever, but I have pretty much run out of stuff to do.

I wanna try my hand at mods so what are the best/must have mods that don't significantly change the base-game?

None of that RPG shit, but extra bosses and items are cool

>>15256836

Overhaul and Thorium are my favourites, the former adds a bunch of new mechanics rather than content, and the latter adds a boatload of content, including new classes and further expansion upon existing classes. These are both very popular and keep getting updated as well. There's also some QoL mods you should look into, just take a look around and take your time.

>>15255969

Sever Down?

In minecraft there was stuff like the Hexxit "Rite of moving earth" or the Shard of Laputa to make floating island.

Is there any Terraria mod with something similar to those?

>>15258682

Yeah. It's called rope.

>>15258499

how are you supposed to make a desert oasis when it recolors the water like that?

>>15260617

Not a buildfag, but damn that's cool. Once they release the next update, nobody can top terraria in building

>>15258682

Are you asking for something to take an existing structure and move it into the air?

Keep in mind that Terraria already has floating islands by default

>>15260679

those are already in the game

>>15255969

OH SHID!

Is it modded?

>>15260706

The fountains are part of the vanilla game. Sold by the witch doctor.

>>15260733

I think you replied to the wrong person there m8

>>15260743

Seems so. That server didn't work when I tried it earlier.

>>15260753

That's a shame, I can't seem to connect either.

I want to cum inside a spider's pussy.

>>15261068

A-anon?

>>15260687

yeah, kinda like that, some shit that cuts a whole chunk of the terrain/structure and push it up high

>>15255969

Anon… Search up how to mod the game, its extremely easy. You just extract a zip into your folder and run the launcher.

>>15262504

Maybe more.

Imagine

>>15255969

>>15263834

I still can't connect.

>>15263934

>>15263943

>>15263945

Yeah when I tried twenty minutes ago I was using 1.3.5.2 so I updated and now I'm just not connecting. I'll try again.

>>15263948

Yeah, no dice, just sitting endlessly at the connecting screen.

>>15263956

strange, people were connecting just fine yesterday, didnt change any of the settings. the server log says you're connecting, but isnt giving a reason for why its taking so long

>>15255969

can't connect

>>15263964

How far along is the server anyway?

>>15263970

>>15263966

let me try figuring out whats going on, maybe i did something wrong. server just started, maybe the slime king was killed while i was gone, but no further than that, if even that far

>>15263981

Alight post when you want us to try to connect again.

>>15263975

Starbound with mods. or just play the other fucking game of chucklefish which is stardew valley.

>>15264019

That's what I want to find out. Have any of the clones taken off at all or did they all die when players went back to Terraria?

>>15264082

>Otherworld

Anon, I…

>linux version of tmodload

>mods often don't work because windows only

What's the fucking point of there being a linux version if the mod devs keep neglecting it?

Why is everyone negging on Terraria Overhaul? It adds a lot more movement options that makes early game fun as fuck.

>>15265694

oppai loli

>>15265694

Building templates/blueprints that you can make yourself and use them as long you have necessary materials.

>>15265694

Do keep going anon.

>>15265694

More variety in weapon types/playstyles. Have different melee weapons than just "it slashes" and "it stabs", archery tricks/gunplay, etc.

>>15265694

A game that understands the core concept of terraria being a metroidvania rather than a shitty gay sandbox.

>>15265694

Game needs a failure state and risk-reward dynamics (try lives).

>>15265694

Dragons

>>15265385

It's inconsistent with other mods and is known to break quite a bit if attempted.

That, and it's the equivalent to what brutal doom is to orignal doom.

Overall it just doesn't fit in with how terraria works, it feels like some completely other game with it's own sort of screwed up gameplay mechanics.

In honestly, it probably isn't bad, it's different.

It just activates my autism when i see my character "roll" by having it's standing sprite rotated on it's axis.

It just looks fucking ugly.

>>15266089

is it because terrarias endgame and beginning are so drastically different that it might get mistaken for a different game?

>>15266177

I don't know when the last time you played was but the endgame doesn't change all that much from pregame that much.

>>15266295

>hoik

Still works

>better transporter junction station

Not really.

Is serb kill

>>15266606

Serb was never even up long enough to be considered alive.

>>15266733

W-was there even a serb?

>>15267074

There was we killed the eye of cthulhu and fought a goblin invasion. The host woke up and fixed the server at about 18:00 hours yesterday so if you wait three hours the server may be back.

>>15265694

more actually usable weapons or weapon classes.

more ways to abuse buffs/debuffs

more/better furniture and frivolous decorations, especially if you can use them in some way

titties

hot aliens

hot alien titties

talking plants

a story mode maybe?

talking plants you can fuck

>>15265694

I doubt I'll have any different opinions from other anons but;

>cuter character

>more choices for combat

Combat in terraria is quite lacking and to add to this weapons in terraria are quite lacking as well and by the end of the game most of the weapon classes are unusable;

along with this quite a few classes are really sameish.

Obviously having more blocks/decorations/enemies is wanted as well.

>>15265694

Battle Royale

Where is serb?

>>15268481

Looks like it's dead for good.

>>15268493

Why?

>>15268619

Well, the servers been down all day and there's been no word as to when it'll be up again. We have a rough idea of when the host has free time throughout the day based on when he was active yesterday, and that time has come and gone. I suppose he could come back and prove me wrong, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Post damnit
