The plants spawn from clay pots you make from 6 clay blocks. I've been making sure to put at least one in every room :)

But yeah, it's not exactly a pretty house... thing. I've determined underground building in the first (dirt) layer is kinda' fugly, due to that line around the edges. Comes from having interacting background tiles, which... currently don't. Interact. At all. It's better looking once you hit the next layer down and you've got something besides open sky making up the background.

Good for telling the time of day while I'm around the merchant, though.

Well, you can sell it. And throw it into the lava. The latter melts it, but not into any usable parts.

Only thing you can deconstruct into its component parts is coinage, so far as I know.

Huh. I wonder what happens if you plant a corrupt seed in the jungle...

Won't be checking myself tonight, 'cause I'm really sleepy now, but it's an interesting question.

Heh. Looked at the Terraria player stats on steam. Re-Logic has made at least 100k USD already. That's assuming everyone's splitting 4 packs and the euro-users aren't getting somewhat shafted. Well, and ignoring whatever Steam takes out.
 
I think they're going to be happy :P

Just noticed putting on a helmet makes the beard go away. Somewhat saddened.

This was made to show the style, actually. Obviously, it's to be used in a house or something like that.

Ooh. Yeah, I see it now. That's... much less troublesome. Will have to steal that design :P

Also, hit sapphire! 15 nice lil'stones. Soon as I get up enough silver for the merchant, I'z gonna' be rollin' in healing potions and torches.

Actually, here's an incredibly practical AND cheap way of total zombie proofing:
Huh. The zombies don't just jump over it?

Anyway, another fun thing to do with zombie-proofing is this:

The back would either be a door or leading off to a corridor, perhaps with a mirror'd construction on the other side. You can swing and hit zombies from inside, but they can't get to you. Perfect for farming blood moon zombie swarms. The eyes are a bit more complicated to deal with, though...

But... How do you get in?  :o Or is there some logic on how doors work that I could only know by playing?

Dig out and replace the blocking, uh, block. There's less obtrusive ways of zombie proofing, but none of them's really viable until you get some accessories/items. Once you've got ways of getting extra air, you can just move your entrance further off the ground than they can jump :P

As for the update thing, the Terraria dudes have stated they're hoping for weekly/biweekly stuff for... a while. That's after the initial push to get things like servers and steamworks and junk working.

E: Servers work, just more clumsily than they want them to at the moment.

8 Is the current max player number, from what I've heard.

Also: Perfect zombie defense :P

Pretty comes later. For now, blood moon immunity.

Man having to have two clients up to host and play is kinda lame, really slows my computer down. Let's hope they get a better alternative soon.

Das been stated to be on the ASAP list, yes, along with full steam integration and some other stuff.

As well as walls... and not underground.

*shakes fist vaguely* You can build houses underground perfectly well!

It just takes a little bit more effort. Gotta' knock down the dirt if you're still in the first layer.

And yes, zombies only open doors during blood moon. A single dirt square in front of it can prevent this :P

Iirc, someone or another has stated a full demonite (shadow) set gives an extra +3 defense. Full meteorite, on top of the regen, is said to cut mana usage by a quarter. Necro set, extra speed.

The necro armor pieces are 40/35/30 bone, helm/chain/leggings, plus 100 cobweb each, iirc.
