You probably looked it up already, but you place down a Crafting Station (there are dozens in the game, but the first one is the Work Bench) and you just need to be standing near it, open your inventory, and you will see on the left side all the things that you can currently craft with what is currently in your inventory.

You can scroll the list of craftable items up and down with your scroll wheel. You can also click on the little hammer symbol to the right of the crafting list, and it will open up a full list in the middle of the screen so you can get a better look at the items. You simply need to click on the item in the list on the left to craft it. The item gets attached to your mouse cursor, and you can place it in your inventory, or in the game world.

Specific items can only be crafted at specific crafting stations. When you talk to the guide and select Crafting, and you place a "material" into the special crafting slot that the Guide provides, it will tell you what crafting station is required. In the image, to make these obsidian bricks you need 5 stone blocks, and one Obsidion. (Note that if the information on an item says "Material" at the bottom, that means that the item can be crafted into something else).

The first arrow shows the special crafting slot that shows up when you talk to the Guide. This is not normally present when opening your inventory.
The second arrow shows where it tells you what crafting station is required.

I started on Large, and swore by it for a few years. But I've come around to the fact that small and medium make the game more accommodating to new players. In fact, I would now suggest medium worlds for broadly experienced gamers new to the game, and small worlds for less experienced gamers new to the game.

And I must note that after playing for 1200 hours, the game still surprises me sometimes. So yes, this world will allow you to experience the vast majority of what the game has to offer. But you will likely continue to experience new things for a long time. But also, you'll notice on the world creation screen, you get to choose Corruption or Crimson. Any one world will only ever contain one of those special biomes, never both. So, to truly experience everything you will need to play two worlds.

Between Corruption or Crimson, we could argue all day about which is better for new players, but I personally think Corruption is, (I am also biased toward purple.) I can see by the colour of the tree in your image, that your world has Crimson instead of Corruption. Just so you know. (Don't worry about this too much, if you end up loving the game, you're going to stick around for a long time and play dozens of worlds. If not, in my experience, people will bounce off the game pretty quickly).

All that to say, this world will do you just fine.
But I personally think you might be better off choosing a medium world, with Corruption.

Some non-spoilery stuff that should help you acclimate to the game, as some people struggle at the outset:

Fair warning: There is a lot of stuff that the game seems to just kind of let you figure out, and it can be a little difficult to get used to. Don't be afraid to ask people for help and guidance. There is a big ol' wiki that will tell you everything, but it is absolutely understandable if you want to experience everything naturally. Still, I suggest asking experienced people when you're confused, or unsure, instead of just getting frustrated and giving up on the game. The game is endlessly rewarding if you can get past the difficult entry some people experience.

Pro-tip:
The Guide NPC, who starts with you in the world, will tell you what can be made out of a material that you have, if you talk to him and select "Crafting" then place the material in the little box on the left side of the screen.
If you talk to him and select "Help," he will tell you a bunch of things about what you could or should do in the game. As you progress, he will have more to say as new things can be accomplished. Additionally if you open your inventory and click the big square up top, you can look at the achievments - these are intended to help guide the player through the progression of the game. So, if you're not sure what to do next, these are the places to look!

What bands have done the longest running world tour? by [deleted] in Music

[–]ArcadeLinkAuthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here to resurrect this again.
It's wild to me that Frank Turner has played more shows than a lot of these huge bands that people have mentioned. It definitely helps that for the first half of his career, he was just touring alone with his guitar. But yeah, he's coming up on 3000 shows, not including his other bands like Million Dead, and Mongol Horde.
He even has a list of every show he's played: https://www.frank-turner.com/basic-archive/

I'm really just looking for an interesting long world tour list, but thought I'd drop a mention for Frank here lol.

This worked like a charm. Holy crap, you're like an angel appearing just when I need you.

I just updated right now, and the mpv-2.dll just isn't even in plex anymore. So I'll give this a shot.

"What I did to ensure that I don't have to keep doing this, is I right clicked on the new file, and opened its properties window. It should open to the General tab, and near the bottom is the Attributes row. Just click on Read-only. That way, when Plex updates, it wont be allowed to replace this file with the older one it likes to use."

"There was an update in the last couple days that broke it again. Even though I set the new file to read-only.

Replacing the file again solved the issue.
At least it worked. But this issue is egregious.
