Layered defense. Carronade-armed heavy battleships to deal with anything unlucky enough to come out in range. Missile-armed pickets for everything else, or as backup if the battleships get overwhelmed.

I also have a crapton of meteorite bars. Meteor armor seems to suck defense-wise, so I either have to make weapons or sell it. Tempted to make a phaseblade purely for the nerd factor.

I've also come to the conclusion that I have to abandon this small, 1.61 world I started and move on to a big new world. I'm gonna be trying to bring everything along, it it'll take some time.

Meteor armor is caster armor, so it sucks in terms of protection. It does remove the space gun's mana cost, but it's more or less useless in hardmode.

Phaseblades, on the other hand, can be upgraded to phasesabers; which are as fast as Excaliber but much easier to get, with only a 6 point damage difference.

The gun's mana cost is minimal, and lots of enemies drop mana-restoring stars anyway. I tend to be a melee fighter, so I need solid defense.

Would my previously-stated equipment be enough to take on Skeletron? I'm at the dungeon right now, and it seems like a meteor somehow landed in it; meteor heads are EVERYWHERE.

After my most recent foray into the burning depths (pre-WoF), I now have 40 hellstone bars. Just enough to make a single piece of armor of a single weapon. What should I make?

Current equipment: full demonite armor, demonite axe, hammer, and pick, ball of hurt, and a space gun.

Has anyone tried lining the borders of corruption with a few clay bricks? That should stop it from spreading once the WoF is defeated.

How to get population from one planet to another? I managed to make an empty colony on Mars and add some "Terraformer to be constructed" orders, but I can't seem to actually get anyone to GO there.

You need to design a ship that has colony modules installed. After that, you can build them yourself (thus having control over them) or let the civilians build and operate them for you.

Make sure that Mars is either at 0.00 colony cost or has infrastructure; otherwise, colonists will start dieing in droves.

It makes sense. Currently, there is a massive imbalance (3 or 4 to 1 the last poll I saw) in favor of Democrats in the younger demographics, largely because the Republican party often champions causes that younger persons consider outmoded, setting up a generational disparity. This seems like an unusually well-done (despite the age of the work in question, this will only be the first or second presidential election for the age group that the movie was originally successful, so it's an extremely apt choice) effort to reach across that gap.

Have to disagree there. I see it as a terribly transparent attempt to look "hip", despite the fact that Pokemon isn't nearly as popular as it used to be and the movie in question is 11 years old, wasn't all that great, and the series suffered from a bad case of sequelitis. It's like a congressman quoting one of the Land Before Time movies.

In any case, the newer generations tend to be more accepting of ideas that are historically anti-Republican (gay rights, abortion, Equal Rights Amendment, etc). It'll take a lot more than this to sway younger voters.

Add 0.06atm of Oxygen, and add greenhouse gas until the temp rises.

Is the gravity in the proper range?

I wanted to make Meteor bricks. No such luck, sadly.
