god dammit

>playing on expert
>took 4 tries to beat the eye
>just died to the brain after I could no longer tell which of the 4 was the real one and kept getting hit
At least I got enough tissue samples to make the pickaxe and mace. What should I aim for next, try to kill the brain or go get some stronger gear somewhere else?

>>534214216
Get the Megashark for the brain if you're having problems filtering out the illusions

>>534214216
should still try killing the brain imo, the accessory can be very helpful
I recommend getting either one summon (go plant your tombstone on some grass near your base, and check back every now and again for a red flower), or using something like fire arrows so that the real brain will be on fire and you can tell which is which. I think using a hunter potion might also display which one is real?

If you're not capped out at 400 hp, I'd go and look for more life crystals tho

>>534219590
It became harder to tell them apart as its hp went down

>>534220827
I'll try it with fire arrows next time I guess. I currently have 260hp and the tinkerer should be somewhere in the caverns so I'll go explore some more before trying again

>>534222491
Good luck! What's your armor like btw? Also, don't forget to place a campfire nearby for some extra hp regen, and eat a food item for some addition hp regen; you can turn most common fish into cooked fish at a cook pot (iron + wood)

I like the village a lot, very comfy. The tower tavern reminds me of a nice seaside pub I stumbled across once, up high with a nice view

Is there some easy way of getting a bunch of bait?

Anyone know of a way to bulk-create worlds? I'm looking for some specific traits, but waiting around for wrldgen is killing me

>>534229206
Firefly nights or butterfly mornings are great. Catch everything near your spawn, wander a way a bit, more will spawn. Lasts a couple in-game hours. You can also get worms from the world decorations but thats not very consistent.

>>534225526
Unpopular opinion: Sky Chests should require a key to open and access should be given mid-late pre-HM

>>534228551
Yeah the guy who build it had a good sense of style
>>534229206
You should be set then
As for bait, you can do a couple things:
>go to the jungle and break the bushes
Decent bait should pop out, but you mostly want to prioritize the yellow slugs and the red bugs. If you get any jungle grass seeds, see about making a long stretch of mud blocks somewhere near your base (floating in the sky offscreen might work best) and plant the seed, eventually you'll start having the bait bushes grow there
>make a long stretch of grass
You can either do the same method as you would for the jungle grass (you need to buy the seeds for the dryad though), or you can just flatten out a large area by terraforming. Either way, breaking the small tufts of grass gives you a chance for either grasshoppers or worms. Combine the worms with stars for enchanted nightcrawlers, which are objectively better.

>>534234008
buy the seeds from the dryad*

>>534199991
>only reason
You forgot the part where he was bringing minors into a porn discord he was co-owner of too. Also he was basically grooming at least one to draw porn for him too (source: 3:22-3:50 of https://youtu.be/x6Pd25kzjjc?si=n5s2j3rnYm9dx4Jd )
You can say that it was "years before then", 2020 mind you, but I'm pretty sure it would have damned him no matter what day some info like that drops.

>see npc selling a pylon
>check wiki
Well now I want some of these but housing NPCs in all the biomes seems kinda annoying. Is there some solved setup on which NPCs you house in which biomes?

>>534242918
I'm betting that most/all his mods do that, he's just the one that got called out because he went against the groupthink
>>534246376
It's only mildly annoying the first time, after that it's very convenient. Also yes, there's even a guide to NPC layouts in >>534202005
>https://youtu.be/LMNsIoYgOpA
Generally I stick my zoologist and guide at spawn, dryad and painter in the jungle, arms dealer and nurse in the desert, goblin and dye trader in the (underground) snow, demolitionist and innkeeper near hell, and angler and stylist at the ocean. You can stick a 3rd NPC with most of these pairs without them getting too pissy, and sometimes it's even optimal:
>merchant at spawn
>party girl at jungle
>filler at desert
>mechanic with goblin
>clothier with demo
>golfer at ocean
Some of these aren't the best and they are subject to change in hardmode when you get a new biome and new npcs, but it works for pre-hm

>>534247787
>I'm betting that most/all his mods do that, he's just the one that got called out because he went against the groupthink
Are you actually defending fagsol? Are you one of his groomed children or something?
Yeah cool you hate the trans boogeymen, I'm not here to fight you on that. But it sounds fucking miserable to try and dev for calam. for years even when fagsol lived up to his nickname and was an "LGBT+ ally" or whatever. Why do you think all his special stuff in calam. was trans themed? I'm pretty sure you should hate him on principal so I don't know why you'd defend him/they?
He went against that groupthink, of his own identity, that are clearly depicted in his fantasy mod of a self insert? It doesn't make sense.
He was always a freak.

>>534251189
>Are you actually defending fagsol?
No, I'm saying they're all probably guilty, because I don't like any of them

gn /tg/

>>534251189
nta but I find very suspicious and hypocrite because it seems the "grooming kids on discord" was known for a while, but the moment he says "bathroom for real womyn only!!" he gets kicked out. Wouldn't be surprised the rest of the devs are more of the same.

So wait was the jungle biome always symbolic of gender identity?

>>534262548
what did he mean by this

>>534263427
Terraria’s devs have never confirmed it but if you read between the lines, it’s clear the jungle is a metaphor for transitioning. The vines represent societal constraints. The hornets are TERFs

>>534265710
what are terfs again I don't know terrarian lingo

>>534265860
When people say TERFs are the hornets or vines personified is that a community meme I missed?

>>534266365
idk idk what a terf is

>>534267932
Idk, im using ai to learn about terraria, this is what it told me when i asked about the jungle terrain (which interested me). I can ask ai if you want? I didnt realize the game was so symbolic of gender stuff

>>534268334
>Idk, im using ai

Goodnight.

Goodmorning.

daily reminder that deerclops is possibly the worst designed boss in the game
just how many fucking game mechanics does it need to completely disregard

it's easy

Is Infernum a meme

>>534298191
Infernum is just fargos but without the OP accessories. My main complaint with calamity is the bosses feel like quantity > quality, and both infernum and fargos souls dlc overhaul the bosses enough to fix this issue for the most part (although the fargos dlc isn't finished yet so the latter half of the playthrough has a noticeable dropoff in quality).
Obviously this only applies if you actually like that style of overly difficult bullet hell style bosses however. If you want to stay close to vanilla terraria gameplay then stay the hell away from either infernum or eternity mode.

Although in the case of Infernum you can enable the mod and just not play on the infernum difficulty and it will still add some extra stuff to Calamity like the reworked abyss, so I'd recommend playing with it even if you don't intend to play on the new difficulty mode.

Any tips on making ultra modded terraria not run like total dogshit?

>>534306482
Remove mods

>>534293329
what mechanics does it disregard
>>534293497
by then its gear isn't useful, aside from chester
>>534318381
I hope he's well

>>534299215
so its fargos but without your reward for dealing with an extra bullshit difficulty mode
i miss when fargo's eternity mode was called masochist mode and it actually made you rethink how you play the game because EVERYTHING became hostile to you in one way or another.
is there a mod that brings back the fargo's former glory?

>>534323540

wew they actually thought about that huh

Any tips on pylon placement?

>>534337090
In terms of... what? Within a build? Surrounding NPCs?
For the former I'd say somewhere central in the build, but away from the entrances just in case they get overrun during a bloodmoon or via Opens Ur Door. Something like the 2nd floor should do, preferably in the same room as your preferred NPC for that location (tinkerer's room, angler's room, etc.)
For the latter, see the master post below the OP, there's a video in there about which NPCs belong at which pylon

people said calamity is bloat but thorium is the bloat god holy fuck how many retarded 1 purpose NPCs are you going to throw at me

>>534343432
Nobody said Thorium isn't also bloat. Calamity just has tons more. Granted, they got rid of some of it when Fagsol got cancelled, but they still reign supreme in the way of bloat.

>>534343432
>how many retarded 1 purpose NPCs
...like the basegame npcs?

>>534344501
Yeah now imagine you had twice as many of those nigger

>>534340669
In terms of the location. Like should I build the housing and pylon for jungle at the surface or somewhere underground, if it even works underground. I'm also not sure if the mushroom one is even worth building and from what I read the underground pylon can be anywhere as long as it's underground?

>>534345849
I don't see the issue, just chuck 'em in commieblocks
>>534346263
Ah, I see; As long as you're in the biome, you can place the pylons anywhere, whether it be the surface, underground, or cavern layer, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Generally speaking, put the pylons where you want, but the surface is usually a good option. I put mine near or above large bodies of water, so that I have a fishing area at each biome. The only pylon I put below the surface down in the underground layer is the tundra biome one, since the goblin is happiest underground, the mechanic is happiest in the tundra, and they're both happy together, so it kills three birds with one stone.

The mushroom one is definitely worth building imo, especially since you can put it anywhere you want, like at the entrance to the dungeon, or at your other ocean, or down in hell, et cetera. It's basically a 'free space' pylon. That said, I'd put it somewhere on the surface, since there's an NPC specific to the mushroom biome that can only move into a home built in a surface mushroom biome.

Yeah, the underground pylon can be placed anywhere from the underground layer to hell, or in any biome for that matter, just as long as it's below the surface layer.

You can tell whether you're in the surface/underground/cavern layer by both the music changing, and by the background art (not the background walls) shifting to a new design. You can also see on the map if you open it up, a change from a brownish background to a gray one where the cutoff is.

>>534349694
You dont see the issue with having to make your commieblock twice as big for no tangible reason?

>>534349694
Didn't think I could build the mushroom one in a self made biome, I haven't found the dungeon on my map yet but it looks like it's going to be somewhere between a crimson area and ocean so that is probably a good spot for the mushroom one. As for the underground tundra one, is it obvious when it's considered to be underground tundra rather than just tundra? I haven't been down there yet

>>534351334
No I don't see the issue in needing to build basic bitch homes that take 10 seconds to put up in order to gain access to the NPCs that are part of the modded content I willingly downloaded
>>534351831
>Didn't think I could build the mushroom one in a self made biome
Oh you absolutely can, in fact you can recreate almost any biome if you have enough corresponding blocks. For the mushroom biome, you need (iirc) 100 mud blocks with mushroom grass growing on them, which you can get seeds for by collecting the native blue mushrooms growing in a mushroom biome.
>I haven't found the dungeon yet
If you're not sure, the dungeon will be on the same side of your world as the snow biome, and opposite the "desert" side of your world.
>is it obvious when it's underground rather than surface?
If you're looking out for it, I'd say so. Like I said, the music track for the biome will change. If you're still unsure, the wiki has more precise info and visual aides (https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Underground) but I doubt you'll need it.

>>534353226
Guess you're a dumb faggot and would excuse any retarded bloat because "you chose to install it dude!"

>>534353385
Use PAINT! God fucking damn it why are people always recommending using different wall types, but fail to mention paint, every time.
There's what, 30 different paints? That practically increases the ammount of blocks and wall types by as many. I don't fucking get it

>>534357009
Paints are CHEATING

>>534197746
Apologies for the late response, this early August been a bit hectic.
I've heard of the Eye of Cthulhu, sounds quite scary for the wooden armored character I have as of now. I ought to explore the surface more then, seems then some bosses only spawn in certain biomes, I hope they aren't too damaging I don't want a world filled with potholes.
So conserve the one nearest to my base to use as a crafting station. The rest I can break later on for ores. Now this is a mechanic I couldn't imagine in MC.
Many thanks Anon! I think your advice will be of much help later on once I start fighting bosses.

>>534361331
No problem anon; I'm a bit envious of you experiencing terraria for the first time. It's quite fun and you have a long road ahead of you filled with possibilities. Exploring the surface is a very good idea, and don't be averse to building little outposts that you can dump your inventory in so you can keep exploring. If you keep an eye out, there should be small veins of ore in forest biomes very close to the surface, which can be either copper/tin or iron/lead. I recommend mining the latter, as it's a decent step up from wood gear, and is used in a variety of things from armor & weapons to crafting stations and tools. I will suggest though, try finding a desert and making armor out of the cactus there.

Also, don't worry about bosses destroying terrain, that's not a thing. It's only stuff like player-thrown bombs and dynamite that can break blocks.

The chests in this game are too small for the amount of different items

>>534365196
make many chest

>>534364817
There's no way that's a valid house. There's nothing that's acting like a door in there.

>>534368808
I believe the platforms count, but if not you can always slap a door in there

>>534372397
Anon that is not what I am saying and I think you know it on some level.
Again, I don't know why you have such an issue with housing NPCs, when it takes no time at all to make them suitable homes and they all have a use, much like the vanilla NPCs.
If you complained about housing the dryad or the merchant, people would likewise call you out just as much for being a moron.

>>534372743
>you have to excuse the mod for doing time wastey retarded bloat shit because to an extent, the vanilla game did it too
Does your heart stop beating if you stop defending retarded dev decisions?

Started Calamity Masters mode, what's the best pre-Hardmode gun that's easily obtainable?

>>534381174
Ok, I see there's no way to get through to you if all you're going to do is keep making strawmen fallacies of what I'm saying and throwing temper tantrums.
>>534385056
Boomstick I'd guess, assuming it isn't nerfed

>>534385605
>repeating your own argument back to you is a fallacy
interesting point, have you considered you're not as intelligent as you think you are? You're the dumbest nigger I've had the displeasure of talking to, and it's all because you for some autistic reason think that NPC bloat is ok actually. You have absolutely no basis for that, you just want to be a contrarian little faggot

Goodnight

Is he the most iconic modded boss?

>>534426768
1.1.6.12 > The rest, though it still looks pretty bad. The more recent ones are dogshit though.
Also, please tell me the text at the bottom is ironic/bait

>>534426768
Nobody gave a shit about dog if not for Dokuro's cave story remix.

>>534432185
This, but goddamn does it make the boss memorable, lol. Same goes for a bunch of their bosses, they should be sucking off Dokuro non-stop for how much the music improves the quality of the mod.
Speaking of Calamity, what's the verdict on Fables, better than regular Calamity or best left ignored?

>>534435354
Fables is the complete opposite of calamity, it's quality over quantity so what it has is incredibly good but so far it barely adds anything to the game, not enough to make for a fulfilling full play through especially since all the additions are pre-hardmode.

>>534426768
>>534431031
wasn't this resprite supposed to be put in the mod at some point or what happened

>>534426768
you'd think at some point they'd stop and say "yeah I think that's good"

>>534452117
meanwhile this piece of shit only ever got one resprite and he is still ugly as sin

>>534454729
>Let me install this content, by my own choice, then complain about it
Lol. How do you remember to breath?

>>534455497
Are you retarded? I like the mod but I'm criticizing the fact they think devourer needs 11 resprites but then the stupid chicken has looked like that for over 5 years now. There's a reason why some of the devs went off to make Calamity Fables instead or why there are so many calamity addons that decided to rework a lot of it's shittier content themselves.

>>534456137
Because the unmodded game doesn't have some bad sprites already, right?

>>534456289
Which is why terraria spend 9 years respriting the same fucking boss instead of fucking finishing the game?

>>534456137
Ignore him, he's trolling because he's still mad from the other day about something unrelated.

>>534456638
>>534456660
Oh, so now we're strawmanning and throwing another tantrum because you failed to understand my point. Cool.

I need mods with monster girls. Already have ACT and Mod of Redemption, and there's no shortage of monster girl texture packs that are easy to find, but I need more mods.

>>534467535

>>534509058
it alr is iirc, under the name pictelite

5 years later and the workshop STILL doesn't segregate resource packs and worlds
I don't want to see a gajillion random worlds cluttering the workshop when all I give a shit about is changing textures

there are two types of terraria players

>>534525187
It does segregate if you filter it hard enough. Even then, people are fucking retards and don't know how to tag shit, so you'll still get worlds every now and then. Here's my search settings that I've bookmarked;
https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=105600&searchtext=&childpublishedfileid=0&browsesort=mostrecent§ion=readytouseitems&excludedtags%5B0%5D=Adventure+Worlds&excludedtags%5B1%5D=Golf+Worlds&excludedtags%5B2%5D=All+Items+Worlds&excludedtags%5B3%5D=Starter+Worlds&excludedtags%5B4%5D=Journey+Worlds&excludedtags%5B5%5D=Classic+Worlds&excludedtags%5B6%5D=Expert+Worlds&excludedtags%5B7%5D=Master+Worlds&excludedtags%5B8%5D=Challenge+Worlds&excludedtags%5B9%5D=Corruption+Worlds&excludedtags%5B10%5D=Crimson+Worlds&excludedtags%5B11%5D=Small+Worlds&excludedtags%5B12%5D=Medium+Worlds&excludedtags%5B13%5D=Large+Worlds&excludedtags%5B14%5D=Other+Worlds&created_date_range_filter_start=0&created_date_range_filter_end=0&updated_date_range_filter_start=0&updated_date_range_filter_end=0&actualsort=mostrecent&p=1

If 4chan lets me post this, I'll be impressed

>>534506227
absolute booba

>>534526619
problem is
i'm already using that exact same search query as a saved filter

>>534525187
>>534526619
This has also bugged me for years so I went looking and I found out from the Project Zomboid workshop that you can do stuff like:
https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=105600&searchtext=NOT+%22world+infected+by+the%22&childpublishedfileid=0&browsesort=mostrecent§ion=readytouseitems&created_date_range_filter_start=0&created_date_range_filter_end=0&updated_date_range_filter_start=0&updated_date_range_filter_end=0&actualsort=mostrecent&p=2
Since most of the retards spamming the workshop with worlds are too lazy to even change the description it filters out the vast majority of worlds.

I'd personally add a forced "world" tag to any newly published worlds that we could filter out. It would clean up the recent results going forward, but I don't think there's any way to fix the mountain of old ones we already have.

>>534483346
I would not have the will to restrain myself

Have any mods been made for that one mod that lets you go to other planets? Are they compatible with Calamity?

red let me smelt bones into ash at a furnace

cat

Is there a way to have the fullscreen map to default to being zoomed out so I can see the whole map?

>>534575442
i think it only keeps the zoom per session. also go into document/mygames/terraria and click config and change the map scale value

I finally went ahead and killed the brain, twice for fun. Pretty sure the vampire frog summon did most of the damage after I killed off the balls

I then went to the jungle and accidentally spawned the queen bee and got killed when it had like 50 hp left

Speaking of maps, who is the transparent minimap overlayed over the screen option for?

>>534590210
Nice to hear you beat the Brain. Queen Bee can admittedly be pretty tough on newcomers, especially when accidentally summoned. Luckily her summoning item isn't too difficult to make, and you can craft it by hand.

Are there other mods on the same level of quality as WoTG?

the wiki states that hoplites and granite enemies only spawn in their respective biomes, but you can just lay down a bit of marble or granite on the ground and run 60 blocks away, and they'll still spawn on it

>>534432185
This but with Yharon.

calamity is undertale for people who listen to the living tombstone

>queen bee dead

I guess I'll go fight the skeletron tomorrow. What weapons do you guys suggest using against it?

>>534635430
Anything that worked on QB will work on big boner, she's tougher than he is imo. That said, I'll make a recommendation for each class
>hive-five yoyo
>bee's knees/boomstick - minishark will work if you don't have either - blowpipe/blowgun with poison darts - grenades will work in a pinch
>highest tier gem staff you can make + crimson rod if you have a crimson world
>flinx staff/vampire frog staff + snapthorn jungle whip

>>534636842
I got the yoyo, bee bow, vamp frog staff and enough diamonds to make the staff. Is the yoyo considered melee damage? I got the molten armor set so that would probably be the best, otherwise I was thinking of using the bee bow

>>534635430
>terraspark boots & balloon bundle before skeletron
i am interested

>>534638215
The bosses are hard on expert and it's a lot easier to go explore areas. Had to fish up 15 ocean crates to get the water walking boots, everything else I found while exploring different biomes

>>534637907
yeah the yoyo is a melee weapon, they're one of the more consistent ranged options for melee
you can use whatever weapons you want, some people just like to try and stick to a single damage type for like, rpg purposes

At long last, after years of avoiding the achievement for dying to a dead man's chest, one finally got me. Not because I didn't see it, but because I had smart cursor on while also using the hand of creation, which highlighted the chest without me noticing, as I somehow opened it while fumbling around in my inventory looking for my wire cutters.

I feel retarded, and after I can get this answered I will continue to feel retarded.
I've started playing Terraria on a whim after like, 2 years, on my Switch(bought it before I could afford a PC upgrade), and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to close the Inventory menu.
I can make it fade, but not close unless I open and close the map.

Skeletron was the easiest fight so far, barely even got hit.
Is there anything I should get done before hardmode? What weapons are strong against the wall?

>>534708614
>What weapons are strong against the wall

>>534708614
>Is there anything I should get done before hardmode?
Well, if you've started any projects like making an arena on the surface, or building an herb farm, or making a castle or anything, I'd do those before hardmode.
If you don't have any building projects queued up at the moment, I'd suggest making a few more small housing units, just so that you have room for hardmode NPCs to move in.
I'd also refer to the top half of this image: >>534210001
Make a 4x4 U-shaped separation between your main base and the surrounding area. I'd go about 1-screen's walking distance away from your base before starting to dig down and begin the trench. I'd also do this for any corruption/crimson biomes you may have in your world. Just keep the biome itself within the confines of the trench. If you have a mining set and ancient chisel, great. If not, mining potions will help a ton.

>>534708614
Well the "intended" progression goes something like:
>forest/desert/ice biomes -> evil biome -> jungle biome -> the dungeon -> hell
So anything from the dungeon or hell tier will be good against the wall. You want a weapon with penetration/piercing shots though, so something like the Hellwing bow or Aqua Scepter. If you're the anon wearing Molten Armor, you can probably get away with just hitting it with the Night's Edge. I'd make a looong bridge, like 1/4 to 1/3 of hell long, and grab a horse mount from the zoologist so you'll be fast enough to run away. Vampire Frogs are still gonna be your best summon. Bring your best potions and food items, the fight will either be trivial, or you'll just scrape by by the skin of your teeth.

>>534709887
Last I checked, Corruption and Crimson can't cross Ash borders, so that should work if you don't want to do a big open tunnel.

>>534710931
True, though you can use any non-corruptible block, like wood, snow, or bricks. It just can't be stuff like dirt, sand, mud, ice, or raw stone.

Checklist:
>Horseshoe
>Demon Conch -> Shellphone
>Quarantine Pylons
>Hellevator at West Ocean
>Hell bridge at bottom
>Skyrail
Should I make a bridge above or below the skyrail, and should I make it out of ice in lieu of asphalt, since I'm in pre-hm and my terraspark boots will still run on it faster than something made of out stone or wood? Mainly making it for star farming, but I may use it for kiting Queen Slime and The Twins, and maybe even EoL.

Oh this is gonna be fun. I can't remember the last time I saw a DMCA on any game's workshop stuff. Is Fagsol really going nuclear right now?

>>534744454
>>534745240
It has nothing to do with fabsol, some troll is attacking the steam workshop for almost every game on the platform. Sadly some people are going to fuck up and try to counterclaim which results in them getting doxxed by the troll. Some mod creators also took down their mods in fear, like the Calamity Overhaul creator has taken down the mod on the workshop.

Did my first playthrough on master, tried out expert after cause I was curious how the balance is since people would always insist that master is just stat bloated. It's actually boring, people actually enjoy the game when you can just stand still in a boss and melee it while facetanking it? You like when your minions on not even a summoner setup kill everything without you needing to do anything?

>>534840101
>You like when your minions on not even a summoner setup kill everything without you needing to do anything?
Some of us like to build without needing to drop everything we're doing every 5 seconds to switch off the building set to the combat set just to not get instantly maimed. I, for one, enjoy playing classes that aren't Summoner.

>>534840353
You're too retarded to just put a box and put an NPC into it before building for town spawn reduction I guess

>>534840353
I'm really enjoying journey mode for this. I hadn't ever tried it before so it's a nice change of pace from expert/master for once. Can just build stuff without worrying about it, but you still have a progression system to interact with. It just becomes about collecting new materials to research > combat and upgrades.

>>534841107
Best thing about Journey is you can turn mob spawns off entirely for building, then turn it back on when you want to return to progression.

>>534841838
Yeah I'm glad I finally tried it out. It's not quite creative mode since you don't get everything all at once, but the restrictions have given me some building ideas so far and I can always return to built stuff later with more furniture or materials to update with.

>>534840101
There's no difference between expert and master mode except for increased stats, vanity items and one accessory slot so yes, people are right. The game progression doesn't change significantly, the early phases are still "painful", except now you die in 1-2 hits instead of 3-4. I'm still on pre-hardmode master mode and haven't die once ever since reforging my accessories to warding, 30 hours ago. I'll go to hardcore and probably die a lot and then go back to just not dying. Except on the miserable invasions where you have a billion projectiles hitting for 300 damage each.

>>534823407
use one of the zoologist's horse mounts for the speed and swap your movement accessories for dmg ones, since they don't affect the horse mount's movement, aside from extra double jumps
try reforging your accessories at the goblin to menacing
hellwing bow always works for me, but you can start spamming flower of fire at the end when the WoF is fast because it does a chunky amount of dmg

>>534840101
This sounds like bait. What bosses are you standing still and facetanking, with what setup? What minions on not even a summoner setup are killing what mobs at what stage of the game?

>>534855150
forge your shit to warding, wear melee armor and a worm scarf, and actually use some of the mechanics (heart statue, honey, campfire, heart lantern etc, maybe def pots depending on stage/gear) and you're invincible for like 90% of expert mode
fish up a vampire frog and it's killing everything pre hardmode, post hardmode you just get the good shit like spider staff. Keeps mobs off you basically anywhere except invasions with just the bewitching table, optionally you can use your extra accessory slot for a summoner equip

>>534854442
It's the stat difference that actually forces you to engage with the game mechanics though. There's basically no reason to use buff potions in expert unless you want to be genuinely invincible

>>534867497
So what you're saying is if I dedicate my entire setup to defense and build a fagthrone, only then does it work? You can't actually do it if you're playing the game normally? What an insight!
>spider staff
>"the good shit"
>the notoriously bad summoner staff because the spiders overlap each other's i-frames and are groundbound

Do you really get so confused when talking about two different things? Must suck being this retarded. Yes, for the record, I am saying both bossfights and epxloration are trivial on expert for different reasons, to the point where it's boring.

>>534899868
No, setting up an arena with a heart lantern and honey is not a fag throne, regardless of how much you want it to be. Fagthrone is the iframe abuse shit.

>>534900513

I do not want to play Calamity anymore, I've already played Thorium, are there any other notable content mods that are good?

>>534911434
spiritmod

Any recommended mods for a summoner run? I was waiting for 1.4.5 but god knows when that'll release, let alone tmodloader which isn't even on 1.4.4 yet.
I don't want to do anything that completely changes the game like calamity, just something that makes the game feel different
I've tried terraria overhaul, but it makes the game too easy, bosses are a joke when they have so much less health and you can roll

>>534922734
>tmodloader which isn't even on 1.4.4 yet
QRD since I rarely play games with mods, hasn't 1.4.4 been out for years at this point?

>>534923991
Nvm I'm retarded and got that off of an old source, it is 1.4.4
Still, waiting for tmodloader 1.4.5 doesn't sound fun when we don't even know if 1.4.5 is coming this year

Is there anything I can do to increase the chance of the skeleton merchant spawning?

>>534956714
Stand still underground with battle potion, water candle, and even a blood moon active. Anything that increases spawn rates will affect his spawn rate. I think he's treated like an enemy, because I don't ever see him near underground town NPCs.

>>534956714
hunter potion so he glows green

>>534922734
thorium, summoner's association, spiritmod

>>534956714
rare creature scanner so you know when he's spawned nearby

>>534956714
Build an underground farm, the variant that hoiks enemies into a box. He'll spawn in that too.

Without installing mods, how best can I be a "support" build? Lots of aggro accessories and the paladin's shield? Sentries? There's no way to like, throw buffs at anyone else?

>>534994851
>There's no way to like, throw buffs at anyone else?
>Without installing mods
No. This isn't that kind of game. Best you can do is be an aggro tank, and that's not really possible until Hard Mode.
Thorium adds classes like Healer and Bard who are support and pseudo-support respectively.

>>534956714

What does your accessory loadout look like as you progress through the game? How many do you dedicate to mobility, utility, damage, defense?
For me, I always try to have three dedicated to mobility:
>topaz necklace/shield of cthulu
>running boots
>extra jump bottle/wings
and I use the remaining for dmg (sharktooth necklace, hive pack, emblem, etc.), with utilities ready to swap in, in the vanity slots.

>>534994851
the aggro accessories don't even work how you'd think
1. they don't work on bosses
2. they only work on things with FighterAI like zombies
3. it's not even consistent because all it does is make you appear "closer" to the enemy ai

i'll just upgrade them

pygmy necklace -> papyrus scarab
add in some glove for melee weapons, swap the stinger necklace and i'm set

>>535075768
Lookin' good anon. I will mention tho regarding your fishing gear: the tacklebox and the (lavaproof) tacklebag's reduced bait consumption do not stack, however, if you were to shimmer the tacklebox into an angler earring, that *does* stack with the fishing power of the tackebag. I also do not think that the bobber's stack, so you'd only need one. If you have an inner tube accessory, you can replace one of the bobbers with that, as it gives you +5 fishing power if you're using it to float on the surface of water.

Sounds like a good plan for hardmode, I wish you luck!

I built 3 identical houses but the game is saying the middle house is not suitable for housing, why?

>>535108484
I've noticed that chest & torch placement can interact oddly with npc housing requirements, because sometimes the game thinks they count as solid blocks. Also your rooms look a little small, so that's probably making it easier for the issue to occur since there's less space to work with. Try either moving the torch around to see if that helps, copy the party girl's room layout, or make each room 1 tile wider

>>535109747
Taking the chest out fixed it and I tested placing it back and it became unsuitable again but only if I placed the chest on that exact spot

>>535111161
Yeah the way the game checks for open space in housing can be a little weird. I usually make my quick housing 9 blocks wide so that I have room for a crafting bench + chair and pylon, with one block of space between everything and the doors.

looks promising! how'd you make those pillars?

I'm trying to figure out why the toilet is part of this crafting hub. Pairing it with a crafting bench only lets you make goggles/sunglasses, and pairing it with a large table only lets you craft watches. You can't even sit on it in this configuration. Maybe the builder just had an empty spot?

Normally you'd put a chair at your crafting station so it can count towards valid housing, but that one looks like it would be rejected due to no place to stand.

>>535274467

Is Thorioum fun?
I've done normal mode and tried expert mode but realize it's more or less the same content so want to add in mods that don't just bullet hell and make all items shit out a thousand particles a second like Calamity

>>535323590
Thorium is well known as a vanilla plus mod. It blends with vanilla so well that, for the most part, you probably won't even realize the content is modded. Definitely worth having.

>got rekt early on
>made it to hardmode
>realised how strong defense is
>one shot every boss up to golem so far
The game got a lot easier once I reforged all my accessories with +3 or +4 defense

>>535327448
It's a bit slower than doing the normal thing and reforging for damage or crit, but tanking hits definitely helps for newer players.

>>535328714
I don't really see much point in reforging for damage when there isn't really any time limits on boss fights

>>535331274
There's no time limit, sure, but being able to kill enemies faster is always a boon.

neat

>>535331274
There isn't a point, damage rerolls are really bad too. With warding rolls you get another 2 armor pieces, with menacing rolls you get a small additive damage modifier that doesn't really matter because no boss is a dps race to begin with

>>535312371
I like it a lot, nice work. For feedback I think the bridge should have some stronger connecting points to convey the bridge being more attached to something.

Good night dont die

>>535312371
God damn anon, that looks great! Using a table as a window frame was a nice touch.I have to agree that the rope bridge could use a teensy bit of work though. I think mahogany logs are rounder

>>535331274
There's the argument that the boss can't kill you if it's dead, so DPS shines in that regard, but defense is good for learning the bosses. It's can be a Turtle & The Hare situation.

What are some other content mods apart from Thorium and Fargo mod that don't just put in a shitload of bullet hell bosses

>>535368996
spiritmod

>>535328714
>>535331912
Unless you are going for a straight tank build, it's extremely likely that you're going to have multiple accessories that increase your damage already. Another 20%/24%/28% from reforges isn't going to make a significant difference in your damage output, especially early game, since every 4% from Menacing builds off your base damage. There's lots of hardmode accessories that give at least 10% damage. Hell, your class emblem gives you 15% right there. That's 4 Menacing Accessories' worth of damage in a single accessory.
Defense is much harder to come by through accessories, which is what makes Warding so valuable. And unlike damage, Defense doesn't have diminishing returns since it's not percentage based. We're talking killing a boss 4-5 seconds (prehardmode) or 15-20 seconds (hard mode) faster vs. taking significantly less damage in fights to the point where you can flat out negate specific attacks from specific bosses.
Take the mech bosses as an example. There's a lot of laser projectiles that do significant chip damage on you with a damage build, and even the best players aren't going to be able to dodge everything. A full defense build can completely negate them, meaning you will always always always win the battle of attrition. Damage builds can not, as one misstep can lead into being in the danger zone. No, you'll never get to facetank Spazmatism's flames or the Destroyer's head, but attacks like that are very easily telegraphed and able to be dodged.
My personal philosophy for defense is "A dead player deals 0 DPS".

The reforge system is ass anyway. It's been here since 1.2 and almost literally hasn't been touched since. You can tell because the movement speed modifiers do almost nothing and the critical modifiers give almost the exact same damage output as the damage ones, making half the reforges either useless or redundant. To say nothing about the weapon modifiers.

i like the golf car, wish it was an actual car though

>>535464389
thorium adds at least one generalist set, so it is viable, but bard is also perfectly usable solo. Healer is too, you just need to corrupt your powers

>>535464389
Don't let the support buffs fool you. Bard is a damage class. A good chunk of their damage comes from the same philosophy as Summoner, where you have to stack buffs to keep optimal DPS going.

>>535503524
Yeah after posting that I messed around some more with the current weapons and I got and it's actually pretty high damage. I don't like the timing weps though, for some reason they distract the fuck out of me. I'm too retarded to get the beat right from just the metronome

Sup. I'm trying to make a custom armor sprite, but doing so would require hiding the arm for a few frames. Is it possible to "hide" the arm sprite for a few frames of this one specific armor edit?

Kerning City... Home...

>>535507612
I had the same experience years ago. I stopped bothering to time them desu, the dmg was still decent, but idk if the mechanics have changed to discourage doing that.

It's a little hard to say since I don't exactly know what you're doing or which arm you're talking about, but for most armors in the game I'd say the answer is no.
The robot, pumpkin, or grim reaper vanity sets from Halloween goodie bags might work for you though. They completely hide the player's arms and torso, so you could probably achieve what you want with one of those sets by leaving the "hidden" frames blank.

The V is the worst mechanic in the game, bar none.

Fishing quests are 100% optional and have no bearing on progression. The Cell Phone and endless buckets are nice, but never required. Meanwhile the V actively makes your world worse just by existing, forcing you to either speedrun to Plantera or turn your world into swiss cheese to avoid your entire world getting fucked.

I'm sure you guys have seen wplace shit get posted everywhere. Friend and I have been finding Terraria stuff across the globe, like Moon Lord and Duke Fishron invading Hawaii. We should work together to put something somewhere. Lewd works because there's big bare furry titties all over Hawaii's western islands.
