There is no such thing as balance when it comes to patches, just new shit thrown in where ever feels good at the time.

How's that honey slime exploit working out for ya

>>145774404
Do you mean you can get infinite invulnerability frames using a slime trapped in honey just like a spike used to do?

>>145775061
Yes

It can be a nice incentive to try out weapons you may not have otherwise because you either got them too late or there are just better options in other playstyles.

Almost ready to start building some houses

Ignore the shitty little house at the bottom left, I was just using it for testing out walls and paint schemes, I'm going to gussy it up later

Cute. Post when theres a bit more going on with it bro. Looks nice though.

>>145778787
You could try putting that up higher - I don't know how far the tornadoes reach but that should help. You'll also likely want more than one perch.

Gravity potion maybe?

Do these sail banners look bad?

>>145800187
Look kinda plain. Maybe try a flair of painted rune wall? Or some kinda actuated hammered blocks?

>>145800187
Shape is good since they look like stretched fabric (I mean the sail banners as such look like that anyway), but they're too empty.

However, you could make decorations on them by using bits and pieces of other walls in the middle, like some of those wallpaper walls for example, some have pretty nice patterns.

>>145800187
Just paint on them dude.

Crimson vs Corruption

Which do you prefer and why?

>>145805392
Crimson. Better music, monsters aren't fucking slow as shit, and I don't fall all the fucking time yet there's a big risk of going there earlygame.

>>145805392
Contagion

>>145805392

In the end Large Worlds seem to be the majority.
Are y'all crazy or something?

>>145807308
I see no point in running around in a small world, and large worlds actually feel challenging and, well, big. More resources, more space, more caves.

Pre-hardmode it takes under ten minutes real time to set up a rail system from your spawn point to the ocean with all the effort of holding a mouse button down, and all it costs is a bit of wood and a bunch of ore that it so common you eventually stop bothering to dig it up. By hardmode you've got options like the Mechanical Cart and teleporters, and even just running with wings and Frostspark Boots is pretty fast.

I can't imagine playing a Medium world, let alone a small one.

Good night /tg/.
You better be here when i wake up again

>>145807709
Way too big for no benefit. It's not like you can run out of resources in a Medium world.

>>145808734
That's always brought up, but imo that doesn't matter. Indeed you setup a rail/teleporter in any world and travel times are no longer relevant, but the thing is it's not like all that space is adding anything to your experience. You'll either build all your things right next to each other and then the huge world is pointless, or you'll build them on different thematic places and they'll end up so far apart you'll just travel on your floating rails or taking teleporters everywhere.
Bang, now the feeling of travelling your world is gone. On a Medium world you can set up building on various places and they'll be on short distances of one another, negating the absolute necessity for teleporters/rails that Large worlds have and making shit feel more homely.

That's just for singleplayer tho, Large worlds do help a lot on multiplayer.

>>145809290
I get the enjoyment of feeling like I'm in a place rather than a box. Shit like biomes smaller than a screen is just hilarious.

>>145809432
Which is why you play Medium and not Small.

>>145809582
I'd have extra-large, but I like using only what the game gives me. Actually, me and 2 friends have server-side characters that play on an extra-large world, because we basically have 3x the mining power.

Perfect worldsize for me would be slightly wider world than Medium, and the same height as Large.
Large worlds are too wide in my opinion

>>145807308
Maybe it's because I've played so much Minecraft, but small and medium worlds just seem way too small. Even large worlds can feel too small to me at times. Exploration is one of my favorite things, so the more there is to explore, the happier I am.

>>145810067
I only played a couple hours of Minecraft and that game sucks.

Also, what is there to explore in a Large World you can't explore in smaller sizes? After a bit of time exploring the underground is completely pointless unless you're hunting for specific statues, and you know from the start that there is nothing on the surface.

>>145810368
I like exploring for exploration's sake, dude. That's why I said "more to explore" and not "more statues to find".

>>145810664
Oh well, that is fair enough then.

>>145810368
I've always lamented the lack of smaller, but still complex structures scattered around the world. That's one of the very few things that Starbound got kinda right, though there was never anything of interest in the structures in Starbound.

There's so much bullshit in Starbound I wish Terraria had

Why the fuck is a wired rail system in that game but not one like Terraria where it would actually be fun and useful
