Thread 723262151

What does /v/ think about Terraria these days? I started playing it again recently.

>get autistically mad at corruption spreading mechanic
>get autistically mad at torch luck mechanic
>get autistically mad at the devs fagging out and doing body type a/b shit

One day I'll eventually finish it.

When is the next "final" update?

>get autistically mad at corruption spreading mechanic
Place at least one sunflower, but more are safer, at both ends of the corruption or crimson biome.
They stop the spread. Gravestones for hallow.

>>723263485
does it block infinitely vertically or can it still spread underground?

>>723263609
According to Google's AI, they prevent crimson/corruption spread within 3 blocks of them but lose that ability when you hit hardmode

>>723263485
They don't stop spread in hardmode

Funny how Terraria devs make fun of old versions' NPCs being useless and then they add an NPC who's sole purpose is to sell buttplugs.

>>723263609
There are two ways to prevent the spread of corruption. One for Pre-Hardmode and One for Hardmode

Pre-hardmode, the biomes spreads over Grass and bushes. They also can't spread over each other. Infection range is 2 tiles from the source block. Sunflowers on the surface edges can block the spread easily. Same with stone or a big hole.

Hardmode it gets tricky. Corruption can now spread to more blocks and over the jungle and huge diagonal strips cut the world in a V shape at random.

The only way to prevent it spreading on your base is to dig large tunnels around the sections you want to save. They have to be wide enough and covered so that the corruption does not spread or create vines that spread. Then use purification powder and the clentaminator to remove any extra areas.

They use to randomly spawn corrupted blocks in hard mode everytime you break certain blocks too, but I believe they removed that.

They need to just get on with 2.

>>723262151 (OP)
I still need about 5 years before I play it again (vanilla of course). Who am I kidding, I give it 1 year at best.

>>723262151 (OP)
I think Terraria is a lost cause in 1.4.5 and onwards. The writing was on the wall from the beginning of 1.4 but the a/b body type character creator really sealed the deal for me and made me not want to play it past 1.4.4.

>le final final final final final update
journeys end should have been the end, i dont think ill be playing 1.4.5 unless a mod that removes the gender shit comes out immediately. not even because im a tranny hater but because i dont want to have to fiddle with sliders just to get a female character. call it "body presets"
i cant even remember anything else being added that update, besides a vague recollection about some uninteresting indie crossover stuff (AGAIN)
literally nobody plays vanilla terraria nowadays and an update is just going to break all the mods again
go fucking release terraria 2 or otherworld instead you fucking hacks

Remember Otherworld?

>>723262151 (OP)
I completed it one time around 2014 or whenever it originally released. Then I stopped playing for a while. Now they added in a whole bunch of bloat and it becomes a different game. If they wanted all the extra shit they should have completed that "Terraria Overworld" or whatever the hell the Terraria 2 was supposed to be instead of ditching it for whatever reason.

>>723267139
They actually do, the issue is that the corruption/crimson starts spreading through stone AND the hard mode V that's supposed to eventually turn your whole world half and half Hallow/Evil

>>723262151 (OP)
I still love it but fuck me have the devs been doing their best to shoot themselves in the foot ever since 1.4
Besides shimmering I can't think of a genuinely good addition to the game since the "last update". Every new item is some gimmicky bullshit that seemingly exists for terraria youtubers to make clickbait videos about. Meanwhile a bunch of fun gameplay shit just gets nerfed or changed because redditgit woke up one morning and decided that players have been playing the game wrong for 10 years and changes shit for the worst. Rip my nigga waterbolt you didn't need to die to red's autism.

>Nerf space gun by making it post-evil boss
>Also nerf its stats despite making it appear later in progression
>All of mage's other pre-skeletron weapons either suck compared to other classes (which don't need to dedicate an inventory slot and likely an accessory slot just to be able to keep attacking) or are a rare drop from a strong enemy in the underworld (demon scythe)
I think I know what Red's least favorite class is
