How does mud work now? I'm at work now, but I don't see anything about mud in the patch notes unless I'm just missing it in that huge wall of text.atre324 said:

Apparently they just give a quick upward boost when you use them, but no longer cost any mana. I haven't tried my pair out yet, but I'll let you know when I do.

Mud seems kind of... muddy... like, when you're digging tunnels in it, big clumps of it collapse by themselves. It's kind of... unnerving, at first, but it makes sense.
So far, I'm finding potions inside clay pots, lots of plants (looks like some only spawn during the day and night), some cacti and coral... so far, lots of just little cool new things.
Second time I've crashed since the patch.
Can't say I'm too happy about the work lost. Thankfully, auto-save kicked in and I didn't loose TOO much.

Looks like Dungeon Bricks have had a slight color change, compare 1.0.5 to the one posted a few pages back;

massive update 
Interesting to use the Guide for something now, I guess it's fitting he's in my library since I can go over there and research materials...
It turns out the Muramasa is now listed as a Material....
That's a Muramasa, Blade of Grass, Light's Bane and Fiery Greatsword as the components, btw.
Edit: Needs to be crafted at a Demon Altar as well... glad my awesome crafting hall is built over one... jelly? =p

THANK-YOU.
I probably need to start a new world...I've been playing quite slowly so 20 hours in and I haven't even beaten a boss yet...but all this new stuff. So tempting.

Hell is alot more.... hellish now. Friggin flaming bats "keese" can suck it. I hated them in Zelda, now i hate them in Terraria.
Logged into my 1st world I made, jumped into my hellivator and was bombarded with an imp, 2 bats, a demon and a bone serpent. The serpent dropped a sun fury tho, that's my 2nd.

There's so much more stuff now. I think next patch needs a way to expand the base inventory. I hope in any case they can keep the updates coming like this, keep adding enemies/bosses and new stuff to try.
I'll be popping onto Enco's server as Rak, as long as it stays active. Already got a good start of building going there.

Only one giant slime will appear at a time.
Good for the n00bs.
The Guide now seems quite knowledgeable in what an item can be made into if you show it to him.
Screw that guy. Wiki 4 life.
Man Eaters and Snatchers are no longer effected by knockback and can attack through walls.
Sweet
Green slimes have been weakend so that start players can deal with them more easily.
Sissies.
Enemy casters have had their rate of fire slowed down.
THANK YOU. Not even about being deadly, just annoying.
Skeletron has less defense and health.
WTF are they making a new toughest boss? He was the right strength.
New Item : Sandgun.
Finally a use for my chest of sand.
New Item : Diving Helmet.
Intriguing implications!
New Item : Silver Bullet
Werewolves incoming?
New Item : Gold Chest
Heck yes. For the true ballers.
Rocket boots no longer require mana. They will provide lift for 1 second and recharge every time the player touches the ground or uses grapple. Lift speed has been slightly increased to offset loss of long flights. This makes the boots more viable for caster Characters.
RUINED! They are lucky they made that VVVVVV potion because rocket boots were toooooo awesome. I'm still going to miss my floaty air battles. So lame.
There is now a message pop-up when the player receives an item.
Lowered the knockback of Muramasa.
Yessss... even deadlier.
Space Gun does more damage, but only penetrates 2 enemies.
Good. That thing was worthless.

*sigh* Time to make a new one AGAIN

I don't care how strong it is or how far it reaches. Very slow = crap. You could use that for 40 in one hit or in the same amount of time hit the enemy 3 times with Muramasa for 66 damage and the enemy also won't have a chance to sneak in.
Definitely, there are way too many different types of things now so things aren't mostly stacked like the first version and your inventory fills up way too fast. I think the best thing to do is make it possible to craft a resources backpack or something. Let it store up to like 5000 of the basic dirt and rock forms and everything else can be inventory. Players who know their way around the game tear through caves like nothing and end up just leaving rock and dirt pieces all over the place.RZRiot said:

Oh, I didn't say I was going to use it, I was just noting how much shit you need to blow to get it. I'm sticking with my Muramasa, same as always. I probably will make one eventually, if only to put it in a chest along with everything else you can get in the game and never use it.
Side note: Has anyone found a Band of Starpower? It's the one accessory I don't have at least one of and I'm wondering where the hell to find it. Wiki says Shadow Orbs and chests but I've smashed a shit ton and not found any.

So the only thing stopping me from playing this is the swing animation for mining/chopping things
Am I being an idiot?
Tell me I am so I can buy this.

I started a new world, spent a lot of time transferring items from my chests and started building my first town (as opposed to the huge castle I had). I've decided to try and keep a relatively natural lay of the land instead of flattening everything out which means some of my buildings are on slopes or inside the side of mountains, I got this cool wooden bridge going with my workshop hanging underneath it.
Screwed up a little bit with the NPCs so far - was trying to get the druid so I built a druid-esque little house and then decided I'll go kill Skeletron to summon her (by the way, he's EXTREMELY easy now). I equipped my Phoenix Blaster without thinking and the fucking Arms Dealer moved in there. I tried to move him to another room by destroying the furniture and barring the door and creating another room for him but he didn't switch. May just have to retheme it and find another place for the druid.
I'd post progress pics but TerraFirma broke with the last patch and I can't upgrade it properly - at least, when I upgrade it it still crashes and tells me I have an old version. Weird. Maybe I'll take some regular old screenshots later.

1. Dig a big pit near the Arms Dealer
2. Wait until dark.
3. Wait for zombies to fall in and fill pit.
4. Push Arms Dealer into pit.
5. Laugh as he's eaten alive.
No more problem.

Try quitting out of TerraFirma, when I went to load it this morning a message popped up saying a new version was available and it works fine for me post 1.0.5.

This game just continues to be more awesome than ever before. I just hope they allow settings to be changed in the inventory menu in an upcoming update, kind of getting sick of having to close a world, change one thing and reload it.
So, in order to get seeds to plant your own alchemy reagents, you need to pick them at the mature stage... some of which require special conditions. Fireblossom normally looks like a little torch; if you pour lava over it, it will gain a little glowing orb which means you'll get seeds when you harvest. The same goes for Waterleaf; pour some water over it and it will bloom up and give you seeds.
In other words, bring a bucket to Hell / Desert if you want to bring back seeds to farm.

Loot + combat (bosses!). Minecraft doesn't have these in any meaningful form (yet.)
And constant content updates (every week or two since launch.)

Sounds good.

Found a good way of dealing with lava slimes if you're just making routes through hell (doesn't do much if you're digging down though). Just create a walkway and then tear every other brick out; nothing can fall through it except lava. Bats can still fly through it, but they're not as obnoxious.
.... How long did it take you to get all that lava up there? Cuz that's a *crazy* amount.

Not real happy with how the shadows turned out; probably going to have to go back in and put some torches in there to illuminate his face. Was fun building to exact scale, though.
