What do the spiked boots do?

They're basically the same as climbing claws. You jump against a wall and slowly slide down.

If you have both at the same time, however, you stick to the wall without sliding.

[Girlinhat]

Apparently bringing both to a tinker bench will let you climb walls properly.

OPERATION HONEYPOT

So I finally found a beehive. And thus my grand mission of this patch, to find honey and pipe it into a giant vat under my base begins.

Have some screenshots.

Spoiler: Because I love spoiler tags. (click to show/hide)

The place where the vat is going to go. I took it mid construction for some reason. Also ropes are great. If I need more room for yet more honey I will expand it downwards.

The entrance into the underground vats via hidden hatch in the bathroom. The switch there flips the two leftmost stone bricks and opens it up.

A rough approximation of the hive when I found it, give or take one queen bee. A hint, the grappling hook will break the queen bee summoning dealie.

And when I was done. I cannot break the background for yet more honey, I tried. Note that when you swim in honey you get a health regen buff.

Aaand where the intake valve is going to go. The little 2x2 segment near the bottom.

Next, I dig a giant pipeline into the jungle with perhaps an interim honey tank or two to get around the 1000 attached wires to a single contraption limit to get it to the base. Also probably farming some money to spend on wires.

Honey. Delicious.

Leaving aside that I've already gone through the progression twice in SP and several times for different MP servers; it has lost most of the attraction for me, because there's no real exploration element like there is in Minecraft, just more repetitious grind. It's not even a challenge once you've done it the first time, just tedium... maybe it'll be different with Starbound.

What exploration? You've seen one abandoned mineshaft, "dungeon", village, stronghold, fortress, ravine, or whatever and you've seen them all. Hell, every individual piece of each of those is the same thing copy-pasted a hundred times over. At least in Terraria you get a bit of variety in the types of things you can explore and the aesthetics aren't as terrible as Minecraft's so the points of interest actually look GOOD.

As far as I'm concerned it just shows that randomly generated stuff has a long way to go before it comes even close to a hand-crafted world. Dwarf Fortress is probably the farthest along and it's still not close.

You can stick and hold down to slide with only 1 slot occupied instead of 2.

Eh, forget the pregenned structures. I play with a biome mod, and I play to find really bizarre terrain.


So. Blue, Frumple, and I got a second key and opened the jungle temple. Cleared down to the boss room, but it was down to Frumple and myself. I started laughing about "lel EZmodeboss" as we hung from the ceiling... and then it smeared Frumple and started transforming. :c

Good news, though, is that the Plantera flower respawns. Found something like 6 tonight. Also, Golem is much easier to solo if you are a cheesemeister.

[Frumple]

... do note that Frumple was in molten armor, with subpar weapons, going up against a dakkalishish hard mode boss and its spawny friends. I kept telling people I wasn't going to be able to do much against those things :V

Though I guess FD was T-whatever. Did manage to solo the golem. Once.

Second time didn't go as well.

I am kinda' digging all the new sorts of ammo, though. That nano ammo in particular is pretty nice. Ranged confusion is love.

That said. Anyone know where to buy/get, uh... venom? I think. The stuff you use to make venom bullets. I want some o'dat.

[Neyvn]

Discovered that you can nowake gems which drop on death......

Miiiight be able to make it with stingers, I know you can make poison BLOWDARTS with them anyway. Seems as good a place to start as any!

EDIT: Wait, apparently not.

I want to play terraria with someone, on a server, but no-ne's in my timezone D:

*ahem*

...;__;

* Tiruin lies forgotten by the lonely dusty corner that usually symbolizes being forgotten.

*sigh*

[Skyrunner]

You weren't online today :I

[webadict]

Well, if you two do make a server, I'd join it... I'm sort of out of whack with sleep

[scriver]

I'm usually on during your evenings, so I could join you then.

[Darvi]

I have the master ninja gear, full pirate costume, steampunk wings, and am armed with a zombie arm. That is all.

Also, balloon bundle, fuck yes, can't wait to get it.
