I wouldn't recommend bringing experienced players to your first Terraria experience. The game is full of wonders and secrets for YOU to discover. Say I joined your game, I would trivialize the challenge and ruin your Terraria experience without trying.

I have trouble getting great architecture put together. Is there a roll image for a random build? I focus too much on just getting to the next tier of equipment or whatever.

I need ideas for NPC gulags. Compact, useful housing that preferably looks/can be tweaked to look nice.

yippee

Is there even a point to using TShock if you're playing with like 2 friends?

>>169714203
Not really.

Some changes

>>169736326
Looks good. Only change I can think of is adding a foundation, but I'm not sure if that would even improve it.

>>169738372
Thank you. Yeah, I do plan on adding a cellar that'll lead to a storage area, like this one I made in a previous build

How's this for a foundation?

>>169760384
Let's not worry about that.

>>169763436
Basement and the ground floor are too connected, and the stairs look weird going to nowhere like that.

I would put a double row of blocks as the basement ceiling/ground floor floor, and I'd actually make a "fake" entrance with a door going into the wall down to the basement if you know what I mean. Since you didn't put any doors to "back rooms" or to stairways, it looks weird that there's just one set of stairs and that it leads to the basement of all places.

/v/ thread isn't being super helpful at the moment so I figured I'd try here:
Essentially I want to start a new Expert Terraria playthrough, hopefully with one or two friends, but we've played the game pretty damn thoroughly. Last time we played through was shortly after Moonlord came out, but from what I gather not a /whole/ lot has been added since then.
My sticking point is mods; I haven't played with them before and I think they could really refresh the experience for me and my friends, but I'm not sure which mods are any good and which to avoid. I've been messing around with them for a few hours now but it's difficult to judge the balance and fun value of mods without investing the time for a full playthrough, and even then, it wouldn't be indicative of what it would be like playing with friends. I was wondering if anybody had run through a modded game recently, and what mods you'd recommend or advise to stay away from. I'd also like to run a larger world using the custom terrain generator, but from what I understand that could cause memory issues if I do it with too many mods.

Any advice would be appreciated.
