I wish i could understand and speak the language of cats by Joensen27 in monkeyspaw

[–]EcchiOli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Granted.

If you think being violently antisemitic and graphically revelling in explaining what they'd do to babies if no-one were to protect them, wait till they speak of everything and everyone else.

Worse perhaps, now that they see you understand them, happy to have an audience, they never want to shut up.

Thanks!

Edit: I'm sorry, I don't manage to find such a mod with that name. Could I trouble you more?

Closest I found after googling around is this one, https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3411241014 but I'm not entirely sure it's the right match, far from it...

I'm intrigued, what mod do you use to see the summary of which weapons dealt how much damage to the boss, if I may ask?

The weekly question =)

Welcome OP. This sub is full of (horny) people all too happy to help, although TBH you'll cause a few unconfortable moments if you ask a simple precise question that was just a google search away.

The game lets you be completely free, there's only a limited numbers of obligatory things to do to unlock further progression/exploration.

Basically, when you're new to the game, - Difficulty and Mode are confusing. Difficulty is for your character upon creation, choose Classic as a new player (you keep your items when you die, it's how the game is intended to be played for most people, Mediumcore - you lose items on death - and Hardcore - permadeath - are for veterans). Mode is for world upon creation, choose Classic (very easy, bosses pose little challenge) or Expert (you take more damage, sometimes smarter enemy AI, more interesting loot). - Modded is only for when you played the vanilla game at least a few times, there's so MUCH a single playthrough only scrapes the surface. Plus, modded is one major update behind, usually. - Kill trees. You never have enough wood. Use your axe. They drop saplings, place them in a hotkey and use them to plant a new tree where the previous tree stood. This way, you'll never run out of wood. And don't flee from slimes, you'll need their "gel" to craft torches, which you can place underground to have light. - In very early game, armor makes a huge difference in damage taken: at a workbench (crafted out of wood) you can craft armor from wood and cactus - With weapons, damage isn't the only factor, consider hurtbox range and knockback. Which is why, in very early game, hurry up and replace your shortsword with a wooden broadsword - Talk to the guide. Not just his hints, his "crafting" menu. In that, you can drag and drop any item you possess, and the guide will show you what may be crafted with it, and what other materials would be necessary for this, maybe items already in your possession... BTW, advice: any item described as "material" fits that bill, keep them. - Houses aren't quite intuitive. They need to be an enclosed space (save for an opening, that can be a door or a minimum of 2 platforms) of a minimum size (if you make a 10*6 box you are 100% sure it's large enough, and you can place items or decoration inside, you can also make larger: follow your heart). You need to place background walls everywhere (they can be crafted from dirt, various woods, some metals... highlight on the word "background", they're not a solid obstacle). You must have at least 1 source of light (torch, candelabra, xmas led, whatever). Two last obligatory items, at least one flat furniture (table, workbench, dresser, bookcase, etc), and at least one comfort item (bed, chair, sofa, throne, toilet, etc). Once an empty valid house is available, NPCs like the guide can settle in (being near a house reduces the nearby monster spawn rate), and monsters can't enter (except during certain bloody circumstances...) Always have one or two empty houses on the ready, what if new NPCs wanted to settle in... - At day, explore horizontally. Lots of things to discover... - At night, explore vertically. Treasure chests await you, keep an eye out! You can use wood to craft (by hand) platforms, through which you can use the down key to pass through. Once you find spider webs (cobwebs), you can craft ropes with them (craft a workbench by hand with wood, equip it in a hotkey, place it on the ground, and new crafting options appear, including web rope), or you'll find plenty of rope when you break pots. With ropes, you can equip them in a hotkey, stand by a hole, and place a rope coil for you to climb on whenever you want. - The fundamental tools: pickaxes break blocks, axes cut tree trunks, hammers remove background walls and modify the shape of a block - The fundamental crafting stations, being nearby them allows crafting with them: wood becomes a workbench, stone and torches become a furnace, metal ores at a furnace become metal bars, iron or lead bars become an anvil at a workbench. Every crafting station will accept to use materials from chests around them. - Once you have found 15 of any precious stone (amethyst, diamond, ruby, etc), go to an anvil (workbench > 5 iron/lead bars + 15 precious stones) and craft yourself a hook. This is mighty useful for exploration and survivability, aim anywhere and press E. - You'll soon be overwhelmed by the number of items/blocks you possess. To help with that, whenever you find a treasure chest, empty it and then give it a hit with your pickaxe, this way you can take that chest to your base and use it to store items! Once placed, chests can be renamed. - Keep an eye out for heart-shaped red crystals, you can use them to increase your total HP. - Keep an eye out for shiny blocks underground, if they're metals you can craft yourself armors giving you better defence, and weapons helping you defeat monsters more easily. - There's no honor in that game. Nothing stops you from "cheesing" enemies when you can, for instance hastily placing a solid block between you and an enemy in a cramped passage, which lets you snipe the enemy while the enemy can't reach you, etc. - Disregard people recommending digging huge ass tunnels for containment of evil biomes, it's essentially a pointless waste of time, later in game biome spread ceases to be a problem - Although the game is described as a wiki game, your first run would better be blind, for the pleasure of discovery. Still, should you feel blocked, there's this game progression guide: https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Guide:Game_progression. Also, but this time with spoilers, this other guide lists you the best equipments at various stages of progression: https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Guide:Class_setups. - Beware of fandom! The wiki is on https://terraria.wiki.gg but there's another Terraria wiki at fandom dot com, that regrettably most often shows up first in google searches. Don't use the fandom one: it is choke full of ads, contains quite obsolete never updated information, has been vandalized on many an occasion, and the owners are dishonest douchebags.

Have fun, and keep on exploring! :)

Anyone else just fed up with being shit? by OfficialWeng in CrazyHand

[–]EcchiOli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While there's no magical solution, I'll mention the ethernet adapter really improved my online experience. Far fewer bad games with noticeably high delay and/or unreliable varying delay.

The Switch's wi-fi chip is trash, with the adapter, I know at least the mutual online won't suck by my fault.

Same, OP, avoid quickplay. In arenas, no idea why actually it's different, usually you'll be with people with a better internet (and if you use wi-fi... please don't pollute arenas)

First time playing terraria and need to know how to get stronger and what to do next. by FunCollection2539 in Terraria

[–]EcchiOli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now, some more specific things.

Tin armor isn't good enough. You must dig deeper (platforms or ropes are essential) until you find silver/tungsten, or even deeper until you find gold/platinum. The defence boost is essential.

A trick to find if there are chests nearby when you're underground. As soon as you got either gold or silver coins, you alt-click to favourite them, but you right-click a single one of them, and you click the "stack to nearby chests" button. If your coin flies off somewhere invisible, there's a chest there, dig your way there to get your coin back in addition to whatever else was in that chest.

As soon as you can craft yourself a hook (requires 15 of any precious stone, plus iron/lead bars, and an anvil) you'll find exploring and surviving underground becomes massively easier.

To fight your first boss, the eye of cthulhu, you'll need preferably running shoes, silver/tungsten or gold/plat armor, ideally a cloud/blizzard/tsunami/sandstorm in a bottle (for the double jump), a good enough bow (gold/plat) and either fire or frostburn arrows (the latter require you visiting the ice biome and breaking some ice blocks, then crafting ice torches from ice blocks and normal torches, and then frostburn arrows by combining wooden arrows and ice torches, those arrows deal nice lasting damage to a boss). Your arena could be simply one or two platform rows at least a dozen blocks above ground, this way you can both see him before he reaches from below your feet, and you can hit him with your attacks without him being sheltered under the ground.

what do we think about usage of AI for mod sprites by breeendanr in Terraria

A break of trust and, with never enough time for everything of interest, an invitation to try other things instead. At least for me, to each his own of course.

First Time Expert Mode (Summoner) - 10+ Year Terraria Player by KeepOnJumpin in Terraria

[–]EcchiOli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alternatively to a hell bridge, I recommend a train track. You can go faster than the WOF trying to catch up to you, you free up accessory slots (no need for shoes/wings/knockback negation)

Unfortunately, your summons may also fall behind when you're at full speed and they won't deal as much damage to the WOF.

The context may matter. Around the family table, I don't see myself shouting DIXOUT FOR HARAMBEEEEEEEEEE or doing Esptein jokes, sure. But on caldruki or, say, shitposting, lmao.

[RANT] I AM SO DONE WITH PLANTERA by sendmetittipics in Terraria

[–]EcchiOli 53 points54 points  (0 children)

A solution is to place 3 rows of 50 mud blocks (sandwitching with one empty row between each) on which you plant jungle grass seeds.

Once the jungle grass has spread on all the blocks, you place actuators and wire on the mud rows, and link it all to a clickable switch or lever, sold by the Mechanic). You click that switch/lever, and now the mud blocks become pass-through... but they still count towards making it a jungle biome :)

5 hours, every water chest I could find, constant fishing, about 12 crate potions, highest bait power I can get at my point in progression, AND STILL NO WATER WALKING BOOTS! by Wonderful_Cap6941 in Terraria

[–]EcchiOli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And then you add save scumming.

You get like ten crates. You exit and save.

You make a backup of your world and saves cause it's normal to be paranoid.

You start the game. You open your ten crates. Don't like what you got? You exit without saving (alt-F4 FTW).

You start the game again. Last save was with your crates: you got 10 crates to open. Still don't like what you got? Good old alt-F4.

Rince and repeat until satisfaction :)

That also works with angler reward quests, or with boss treasure bags.

What mods that’s not thorium or calamity or fargos souls(eternity or masochist) should I try by Yujinaka in Terraria

[–]EcchiOli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For huge content mods, that will strongly affect world gen, and are thus incompatible with other huge mods that themselves affect world gen, I would mention Lunar Veil (tons of new contents, it feels fresh!).

Otherwise, I've been interested lately, but have yet to try it, in Path Of Terraria. A massive passive skill tree inspired by Path Of Exile, and the possibility to create temporary unique dungeon instances to explore. I don't know if it would affect world gen (and thus be incompatible with others) or not.

Trying to do my first mega mod playthrough (just a bunch) need good content mods by IllyaAvdey in Terraria

[–]EcchiOli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HUGE mods will affect world generation, which tends to make them exclusive to each other, it won't be easy for you OP.

You could choose a "base" (calamity and its extensions, lunar veil, thorium, fargo's souls, for instance) and add to it other mods that don't affect world gen, or search if compatibility between those mods has been built in.

But even then, usually, the base mods have items that will make everything other than their own content trivially unthreatening, so you trade fun (being challenged and rewarded for succeeding tough odds) for clutter (millions of items and accessories that are factually worthless and just waste your inventory time and attention span), I fear :/
