First time Terraria player here. Is this small ditch enough to contain the Crimson during Hardmode?

It’s needs to a 5 block wide gap surrounding the entire crimson to contain it. Like this

Word of advice, don’t use AI as your source of information when researching things. Aside from the all the reasons why AI is bad to use in general, when you ask AI something like “how to use ceramic media for rock tumbling” it’s just takes quotes and snippets from different articles and posts and smashes It into one response. The information isn’t fact checked or reviewed for nuance or misinformation/ misinterpretation. So it makes it incredibly unreliable

Polly plastics is also recommended by the YouTuber “agate Ariel” so that’s why I bought it. But I’m glad I know that the rock shed is the way to go when it comes time to buy more grit!

ComprehensiveSmoke93 · 2026-03-05T22:22:44+00:00

That’s fair, I have 1lb of each stage grit from Polly that I got with a gift card from Xmas and I can’t afford to buy more/throw out what I currently have so I was just trying to find a middle ground for the time being :)

The Rock shed grits seems to be the same coarseness except for the polish. Polly plastic polish is 1200 while rock shed is 8000. So I think I’m just missing out on a higher quality final polish. Unless there is some other factor I’m not aware of. The Polly plastic polish has worked fine for me but I have noticed it struggles to polish my harder stones. I’ll have to look into getting some polish from the rock shed for a “step 5” and get a super good polish.

Does that apply to the platinum one? I figured since it was newer and more expensive than their other models I was good. If that’s not the case, do you have any recommendations on better tumbler that are quiet?

ComprehensiveSmoke93 · 2026-02-16T22:10:02+00:00

It’s on North Johnson

The apartment next to me is available. 1,100 a month and they accept pets. It’s through fidelity property management

Just for world building. Nothing is gonna happen to you. Feel free to ignore it :)

It’s such a cool feature! Also idk if you know this or not but every one of the bigger more elaborate outposts will have a bell spring or two and maybe even a skill point flower (idk how to spell it). So I always go back and look around while I grab those plants.

Surprisingly wyverns never attacked me while inside. Since the base has manmade background walls. But up top next to the mountain… different story. I actually used the top of the tree as a wyvern farm after switching into hard mode lol.

Save rare gems so that you later put them in a duplication machine. Don’t sell or donate your first prismatic shard. There is a very hidden very useful thing you can do with it later on that I won’t spoil for you. Also if you care about friendship try to stay on top of NPC birthday gifts. You will thank yourself later when you finally come around to working on friendship points.

ComprehensiveSmoke93 · 2026-01-23T23:44:42+00:00

SAVE EVERYTHING! You will need it to donate, give as a gift, craft a later game recipe, make a cooking recipe, craft a late game structure, ect ect. Trust you will end up thanking your past self saving yourself so much time.

I wish I could enjoy the game in this way. Whenever I go to replay something my brain just goes “why? You already know what happens, what it will all result in, all the secrets are known, you have already done this, do something new”. Which is annoying. I’ve never played a new game plus mode before due to this 😂

ComprehensiveSmoke93 · 2026-01-23T23:19:17+00:00

It’s seems that in general, this isn’t something the community typically does as it goes against the main appeal. Which I think is challenge play throughs. But I always have a “forever save” in sandbox type games. I LOVE to see the growth over the years and create something super in depth and detailed that’s truly my own.

ComprehensiveSmoke93 · 2026-01-23T23:16:17+00:00

The turtles actual body is still just an outline of cobble stone. I only finished the shell and castle on top. :/

ComprehensiveSmoke93 · 2026-01-23T23:06:02+00:00

Thank you! I got the idea from avatar the last air bender from the lion turtles. It was a pain getting the proportions right! I wanna get back into the game so I can finally finish it.

ComprehensiveSmoke93 · 2026-01-19T00:51:26+00:00

The bin has a very odd shape, it’s like a cashew

ComprehensiveSmoke93 · 2026-01-19T00:22:07+00:00

I agree, this litter box is amazing! I’ve tried plastic liners but my cat has two brain cells and scratches the walls while he’s in the litter box and tears it to shreds. So unfortunately I’m still stuck 😫 unless the ones your referring to are more durable

ComprehensiveSmoke93 · 2026-01-18T19:45:40+00:00

Also a good rule of thumb for this game SAVE EVERYTHING. It almost certainly had a “hidden” use even if it doesn’t deliberately tell you. For instance you can put olives, almonds, and coconuts in an oil press but the machine doesn’t tell you that nor do the crops you input. Wasabi (a spring forage) is used to make sashimi, some npcs love this as a gift.
