Awesome, exactly what I want! Can't wait until I get off work tonightNekrono said:
You can make sunglasses with them. I don't know what the sunglasses do yet though.Hawkian said:Bummer, I loved the look of the Cobalt Set, really wanted it for my caster. The Jungle Set is quite different.
Owell, this update absolutely rules, resizable window is delicious.
Anybody know what the black lens does?

I'm assuming they do nothing, they're just aesthetic like goggles made from normal lensesWrekt said:

By using a hammer. The underground walls can't be removed unless you have a path to them from an edge. You can, however, plaster over them.
supposedly the Cobalt Set will be re-added later
also ugh, the spawn rate on Tim is so low How is the drop rate on black lenses?
I can't decide if I'm more excited about more content, or being able to resize the window and have a massive field of view around my character. I love this game

I finally got enough Hellstone to craft my first item, the Flamerang - basically the Enchanted Boomerang except it does 32 damage and travels extra far. My boomerang is basically my main weapon now, it absolutely wrecks in close quarters since it returns instantly upon hitting an enemy so I can spam it and it's good for long range to with no ammo. I also found my first Floating Island - it was super high (about 570ft) and luckily it had a gold hut on it with a Starfury which is pretty cool. Big pink sword that calls down three shooting stars whenever I swing. It was a Blood Moon when I got it and the stars were absolutely DESTROYING the zombies like it was a joke. I think it might be useless underground though, I haven't tried it there. Besides that one of the Shadow Orbs I broke had a staff to summon a Thorn Vine thing, kind of low damage but it hits multiple times and goes through the floor for only 5 mana... I think it will be extremely useful since I don't have to worry about the terrain.
Updated House:
My Hell Tunnel on the right, I removed some stops so it goes all the way to hell even faster now. On the left on top of my castle you can see my outpost to, I stand up there and summon shooting stars during blood moons and goblin raids - I feel like a god! I'm standing on the wall in the courtyard at the center of the screen. Usually a tree there but I cut it down by accident.

Cool update, noticed Steam downloading before I left for work this morning.
And I was only asking yesterday if we could change resolutions, that's excellent. So it's just a menu option now? I run it fullscreen, so it should show up in 1650x1080 now? Great. The little 800x600 window was hurting my eyes.
Lightsaber?! Awesome.
Looking forward to having a Meteorite drop now haha..

Just tried out full screen for a few minutes. I can see so much.

Aesthetic they may be, but goddamn if I'm not going to make a pair of sunglasses first chance I get.
Badass house! How do you summon stars?Houston3000 said:
I've never bought a potion. Spent plenty of money on explosives, though, so I don't buy your premise.Twig said:
I really want the Phoenix Blaster, but I haven't even found a handgun. The mini-shark is damn good fun, though.
Hey, everybody post what their primary weapon is!
Mine's the Minishark with musket balls for now, but I"m about to load up on meteor shot.
Ugh, for some reason now when I play at a high resolution the game slows down likes it's dropping frames :\ I've turned the frame skip option both on and off and I get the same effect either way... Surely the game isn't THAT taxing on the computer, I mean I can run Witcher 2 on low settings so surely a tiny 2D game isn't causing my computer some grief :\

The sword itself only does 15 damage but it summons shooting stars that fall from the sky at an angle - it does a good 60+ damage when they all hit in an Area of Effect. So I can stand on my roof and swing my sword to summon stars.
Flamarang right now, it's so fast and has a good range and knock back.

Thanks, that's really nothing either. It's kind of haphazardly built on top of itself, I actually modified my castle and edited my post with the new version before you posted - most the walls were all misaligned and the basement wasn't solidified. I've seen pictures where some people built literal castles, absolutely insane stuff. Still you can go back a few pages, this is what it was a few days ago, it's definitely improvingiirate said:
Anyways, finally got my Molten Pickaxe. They must of made Hell easier because there are far less fire imps then I remember unless they're just scared of me now. I could of kept mining down there but I had no dynamite and it was taking forever to get all that Hellstone. I went ahead and crafted a pretty rudimentary Obsidian farm to - it's just using natural underground lava flows, not up near my castle but it's RIGHT off my hell tunnel about half way down - I found right where the water and lava are near each other and built some tunneling and containment systems (click for bigger size):
There's ALOT more water above that in some holding lakes I built and tons of lava all around for when this runs out.
Yeah drivers might be an idea, i'll look into it.NotTarts said:
On another note, killed a random arse caster skeleton and received a wizard hat from it. +15% magic damage i think it was.

Don't think so, unless you can somehow remove the back wall... I wonder how far down til you can no longer break the back wall? Time for more wiki research I guess, or maybe an experiment.

New update is immense, however there's one item I'm absolutely gagging for them to implement. Something along the lines of maybe 'Stone Shoes' or something? Just anything to increase your fall speed so it makes those trips into hell a bit less boring by just letting you plummet down at maybe double/triple speed. Negates the effects of the cloud in a bottle/flippers, however with a well placed water well at the bottom of your big hole into hell you could safely dive in, remove/swap the boots and it'd be a hell of a time-saver. Native widescreen support is a big massive piece of awesome though!

We need a GAF server! I'd gladly donate to anyone willing to set that up.

It's tough to get around in the water until you've got a miner's helmet or similar. Once you've got a reliable underwater light source, it's not as bad. You can make it easier by chiseling little side passages with air pockets as you go down. Water never travels up, so if you dig straight out to the side then straight up, you can make a spot for air.Einbroch said:
Also, slight spoilers:
If you go to the end of the world, there's a good chance you'll find a chest in the ocean with flippers in it. They make getting around the water so much easier.

That new update has me rather intrigued, looks like it's time for me to reinstall the game.

Being able to resize your window is a huge plus, very cool.
Chinner said:
Wait for more stuff to do. Or hell, just build what you like I guess.
Note that you can easily share resources between different generated worlds under the same character, so if you've exhausted all possible areas in your current world, just make another and explore anew with nothing lost!
How do I get stuff to mine the purple blocks?
I've found a fallen meteor and mined out some of that and have a bunch of meteor bars.
I've smashed some shadow orbs that were beyond the purple blocks by using dynamite to get to them.
But how/where do I get the materials for the pickaxe that lets me mine them?
I haven't yet killed a boss. I never get to finish off the Eye of Cthulu before the day starts up again. I was using a gold bow and flaming arrows. I now have a musket and flintlock pistol, and I can make meteor shot. I also have an enchanted boomerang. I've heard shurikens are a good way to put him down fast, too, but I haven't tried it yet.

You need to kill the Eater of Worlds to get shadow scales and demonite ores so you can craft a nightmare pickaxe, which will let you mine up the ebonstone blocks (the purple blocks).Mudkips said:
Of course you could instead try to go to the Underworld to mine up hellstone and make a molten pickaxe that also lets you mine up ebonstone, but you probably won't survive. The Eater of Worlds is not too hard if you have some golden armor & a bunch of healing potions. I would recommend beating the Eye of Cthulhu first and crafting a Light's Bane with which to fight the Eater of Worlds.
