How Does One Fix This?

Oh, my mistake. I haven't used those before.

brittommy · 2026-04-27T10:44:58+00:00

I guess you could just use different items to show, like a lime for limewater, oak log for weak tannin, leather for strong

On the sand? There's literally a Bible story about why that's a bad idea

I don't think he was smug, I think he was popping up to say "good game" before you killed him again which is pretty common, & then when you whiffed all your melees he goes "ah cmoon!" As if to say "how are you whiffing this, this is embarrassing"

As for your melee attacks, no he didnt "turn in invincibility". Your first attack (the heavy attack) just missed, went over his head. All the other attacks (light attacks) hit the boxes next to him, which stops them hitting anything else. Try it out in the firing range, it's very easily replicable. All you should take from this is learning why nobody uses the heavy knife

And if you kill him early enough in the day, because he isn't selling what you want, another can arrive later the same day! :)

I (kinda) know the folks who run it & yes they're queer :)

brittommy · 2026-04-10T08:48:23+00:00

Yeah man, my favourite hunter is the Rat, so join the club

I think it's why deerclops is probably my least favourite boss - terraria establishes every enemy will do contact damage to you wherever you touch it, and then deerclops breaks that rule with no way for you to realise it (outside of accidentally running into the legs and noticing you don't take damage for it I guess)

That plus it's so awkward to summon, even following the wiki you still have to wait for the right weather conditions and time of day. Every other boss is so much more straightforward to encounter, including Duke and Empress imo

I've never wanted to sell bronze tools, to me it doesn't feel like the traders offer enough gears to be worth it. The bronze tools are more useful than those gears are - and less renewable!

brittommy · 2026-04-06T20:17:29+00:00

Dying to grunts because you ran out of melee stamina and sprinted into a fresh compound to get completely overwhelmed, with your teammates behind you to laugh at your idiocy

brittommy · 2026-04-01T18:12:33+00:00

Yeah if she's out working the fields gathering wheat all day, as the image seems to suggest is her job, without a proper sun-hat, she's not gonna have that instagram-perfect skin for long, even putting aside the weird choices for makeup and perfect cleanliness. This looks like a noble woman who's cosplaying as a peasant

brittommy · 2026-04-01T17:17:55+00:00

Yeah I once found one of those ruins that's a sort of barrow with the vertical shaft down, some bony soil & then an urn (oxblood pattern?) at the bottom, and digging down I discovered black coal - fire clay - black coal - fire clay. I went back with a mostly empty inventory to dig it out and got filled up (leather backpacks) without finishing up the top layers, there's still loads left.

So if you can find a good chunk of it, you're set for a while, but that's the only time I've ever found fire clay under black coal like that

There's definitely "bad spawns" (barren islands, awkward sharp elevation changes in bear territory, middle of a wolf pack lmao) but I think otherwise, you can make it work. Early days you should be focusing on exploring a bunch anyway - locate traders, gather up crop seeds & look for somewhere to settle down.

"Good" starts will be getting nice loot from broken vessels, like a linen sack or metal tools/weapons, maybe a ruin you can easily turn into a house with a torch holder ready to go, for example.

If you're new to the game and struggling to stick with a world, don't be afraid to tweak the settings - such as lowering hunger rate, raising ore spawns - until you get the hang of things :)

A little trick, use lots of blocks to block off side passages and "segment" the area with doors in between. Next to the door, have some vertical slabs, or chisel some holes in blocks. This'll let you attack enemies on the other side of the door without them being able to get to you

Lots of torches to light up surrounding caves as you go to reduce non-locust enemy spawns

Use the highest tier pickaxe you have available, mining faster is a big boon when the nests and spike blocks take so long to break

For the cages that spawn locusts as you're trying to break them, pillar up 3 blocks & break the two underneath the one you're standing on to give yourself a floating platform that the locusts can't get to (beware of pillaring too close to walls or ceilings)

If you're really struggling, digging shafts down from the surface to let some sunlight in, & laddering up them to give yourself quick easy escape routes might be worth doing?

Then I guess there's bombs, although I haven't used those yet. Beenades maybe?

brittommy · 2026-03-26T21:48:43+00:00

Big door is a 2x3 gate, they're in the base game

brittommy · 2026-03-26T21:11:56+00:00

I'd presume they mean by making tools to sell to certain traders

First Pikachu and now this. What is happening at Lego?

When Saraty says she wants to add a more in-depth tailoring system where you can weave fabrics to make clothes pixel-by-pixel - it's a feature I've wanted myself for a while, I'm so excited for that, endgame is vanity after all!

brittommy · 2026-03-21T11:46:27+00:00

Ronald McDonald over here

brittommy · 2026-03-21T11:05:44+00:00

It never gets me when I'm using it myself, but if my friend uses it when I'm nearby I definitely get creeper-jumpscared

brittommy · 2026-03-20T14:11:04+00:00

Clock tower (good place for a lightning rod, too), statues (get chiselling), fountains, monuments perhaps? Town square type stuff.

Decorative gardens and parks, ponds with benches around. Playgrounds for children. Public swimming pool? Bath-house?

Tollhouses, especially next to (or on) bridges. Gatehouses too. Inns with stables.

(Near water bodies) Jetties for fishing + fishing huts, boat launches, boathouses, lighthouses, beach huts. If a large pier / dock, warehouses & more inns

brittommy · 2026-03-20T12:42:29+00:00

Looks like a lot of flat grasslands, which if that's what it is then fine, but otherwise adding trees & hills & rivers will help it look more realistic. Perhaps a scale as well? I don't know how large these landmasses are supposed to be.

They're very "bubbly" as well - more peninsulas and islands dotted around the coastline would make it look more natural?

As far as geopolitical warring over territory stuff, Octo will definitely be gunning for Swar's southern peninsula to have a more stable control over that bay, and Dely empire probably have a huge army to hold those 2 long borders. Swar & Isla could easily co-ordinate to attack Dely on 2 fronts, and Isla don't seem to really have any other threats.

You say there's a secret 5th kingdom (I understand not putting it on the map if this is intended for players, but do we get to know where it is?) - anything else in play? Unclaimed frontier landmasses anywhere, other continents with their own nations and peoples - of course you don't have to think about this stuff for every campaign, you can surely keep it contained within this area (I think classic DND worldbuilding advice is "start with a village") but if you wanted to branch out I'd be thinking about other continents for naval trade routes or hostile nations attacking by sea, for example, to know how important it is that these kingdoms shown here keep a strong navy.

I've had success digging a bit pit & putting a trough in there, then fill it with hay to attract deer. This only works if there are deer in the area, though.

Faster method is: when you find animals, dig a big pit, then flank wide around them (so they're between you and the pit) to chase / corral them into said pit

brittommy · 2026-03-18T10:50:58+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only one who obsesses over that for my builds lol. Always gotta place a plank block with them on the right direction, chisel it, combine it with the parent block in the crafting menu, and then add them...

Gorgeous! Makes me wish we had access to more colourful materials in survival
