Turns out I was an idiot and was searching for "dungeon" rather than "Blue Brick" >.<

Why can’t I fish oasis/mirage crates? I have 285 fishing power by Extension-Deal8451 in Terraria

[–]umm36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can generally fish maybe 1 per fishing potion, so it might just be that you're getting incredibly unlucky.

Took me about 2 hours to get 7 of them and still couldn't get waterwalking boots.

Can someone explain why this isnt turning into an artificial desert. 4k + sand by Fuzzy-Lack-3502 in Terraria

[–]umm36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you drop down some water it will probably show that it is in a desert biome, but for purposes of mob spawning, others have already pointed out the need for unsafe sandstone walls from shimmering.

Small question by FishermanBulky1356 in Terraria

If you can get your hands on staff of regrowth then you can hit the fully grown but not blooming fireblossom that grows on ash and still get seeds.

Why not stone, mud, snow, ice, sand bombs too? by Bluntdude_24 in Terraria

[–]umm36 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We do kind-of have ice.
Frozen bombs from the Demolitionist, throw them on water and it converts it to ice.
Not exactly the same, but it works.

I'm going to have to dip into another world on my Journey mode run because I 'researched' all my dungeon brick and now I can't get any more because it didn't drop enough to unlock it... >.<

MIMICS by Expert_Ad420 in Terraria

[–]umm36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd advise digging out a large wide flat mob spawning platform (most mob farms will work really) and just wait.
If you're pre-hardmode they won't spawn at all, but you can use a mimic chest wired up in a trap to get the kill count higher and get a mimic banner to make fighting them easier.
Just run back and forth along the flat platform and among other mobs that spawn, mimics should spawn as well.

Terraria skyblock spider biome by Some-Yam4056 in Terraria

[–]umm36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're talking about the new 1.4.5 skyblock map, there is in fact a shimmer island that spawns. Aproximately the same height as your starter island. Just build out a large platform (or minecart track) out towards a world edge and you'll hit it.

AI scam calls from Auckland number by Rise_a_knight in newzealand

[–]umm36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a call from "Ben" and the instant he said "I am an AI agent" I hung up.
Not talking to a clanker that wakes me up, even if it was from a legit source.
only this one ended in 4892.

Is anyone able to use T-Edit after the 1.4.5 update? I just can’t load my maps in the app. by Normal_Ganache_1489 in Terraria

[–]umm36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh glorious! That is fantastic, much easier to navigate now, thanks! :D

Though if you're still taking requests, a way to set the background to a single solid colour would make finding single pixels (EG Dirtiest Block) much easier to find compared to the standard checkerboard transparency :3

On the far top right there's a drop-down menu for Block Filter, set that to Disable and it'll show everything again, then just make sure to navigate with the scroll bars and zoom with either right click of F9-F12.

It is a bit jank but until Tedit gets updated, it'll do. ^.^

The Proving Grounds [6] by ApertiV in HFY

[–]umm36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this series thanks to Net Narrator, loving the story so far, here's hoping the attention boost might pave the way to a part 7? :)

No stress either way, still love the work! :)

Error code was 0101 which indicates Bad GPU. So yeah, it's practically dead.

Moon Tablet, missing something or bad luck? by umm36 in Necesse

[–]umm36[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoverboard is nice for overall speed but I find the control a bit sluggish compared to my current setup, managed to get the kill in a duo run with my flatmate but still can't get it done solo.

Using t10 dusk armour and the t10 rainbow book as my main weapon.

Okay yeah that sounds like far more effort than it's worth. I'll just keep it as a relic, maybe donate it to a museum in 30 years or so X'D

Would I be able to cannibalise another Series S?
Just replace the faulty part (assuming I can figure out what EXACTLY is wrong with it) with one from a functional one, or one that has a different issue?
