Yeah, I tried to set things up in such a way that people can spawn there and then get the most essential info as quickly as possible in a learn-by-doing environment. I tried hard to keep the reading to a minimum and the doing/seeing-it-yourself to a maximum.
You don't see the sky until you get an explanation on day and night. You don't step into an area enemies spawn until you get a weapon and enemy info. You get torches and then navigate a dark passage. You get to actually *see* the crafting stations so you know what the look for.
Really glad people like it and are finding it useful.
They must be on grassy soil (not just dirt). Click just above the ground line to place them. They generally need 2 tiles of space on either side to grow, otherwise they'll stay saplings forever. You will also want to keep any other plants (weeds and flowers) from growing around them until they turn into trees.

Thanks. I think when 1.0.6 hits, we'll be rebooting the server and the tutorial will actually be semi-level with the surrounding areas. There's kind of a weird canyon on either side. I envisioned people crossing the wooden bridge there and being in a nice little mining town with more tutorials on digging, placing torches on walls/floors, etc.

Why is there always lots of gold/silver next to a lava pool, dammit!

Is there any way to have a smooth transition between different types of background walls?
The_Technomancer said:
Not without using a map editor and even then it can be kind of dicey. If you're doing stripes or something similar, they work (albeit with some heavy black banding between them), but any kind of corner will have sky visible behind.
If you just want different colored rooms, use a door. It hides the point where they meet fairly well.
Yeah, they really need to at least improve the transition between wood (and stone) and the other crafted backwalls, it's really annoying lol
Anyway, I'm really surprised the update hasn't hit yet, or they haven't at least told us when it would be over twitter/facebook/forums. I'm starting to lose hope that it'll hit this week

They've never told us when a update will hit. Most of the time, they'll tell us there's an update AFTER it goes up.

Alright, Sgt. Pepper and I spent three hours or so beginning excavation on my world....holy shit this game is huge. We didn't even hit lava.

Man, I'd love to see some screenshots of the GAF server.
I've been sooo busy the last couple of days I haven't been able to log on - still haven't seen the new world or "Tutorial Town". Anyone got some shots?
Speaking of which, I feel kind of lame because so many of my most awesomeness is on my friends server and I always forget to screen-cap and I don't have access when I do think of it. Alot of this stuff is kind of old but I know there's a lot of new players - I built an entire town though in single player I haven't captured yet, the last bridge is part of it except now there's tons of water underneath and an alchemy station/garden on top.

So this was where my first ever meteorite crash site happened (my character on the far right is at the invisible boundary):
Built a little seaside shanty in case I died:
Then built a little air area:
And then nothing a little stick of dynamite couldn't clear up:
Got over 340 meteorite ore in the end so I was happy

I'm still 2 gold coins short to get the mining helmet. What items have a nice selling value without being too difficult to find?

Okay, so I've heard that summoning Cthulu whilst the Eater of Worlds is out will instakill the latter. If I do this with, say, a friend with the Eater in view, will we be able to pick up all the drops or will it just disappear?
MarshMellow96 said:
The Eater of Worlds "dies" if there's no player nearby. So if your friend was near it, it would attack him.
Supposedly, in the next patch, they're gonna make it display "The Eater has fled" instead of "The Eater has been defeated" if players are too far away from it.

I don't know if this has been talked about, but I have to ask. I haven't played in a while (an update or two have passed) but I played a little today and I'm getting some lag spikes which drop me down to like 30 FPS for a few seconds and then go back up to about 60. I have never had this problem before. Always ran at 60 FPS the whole time. Anyone else have this problem lately?

Nope, its the Eater, not the Eye.

This is easy to test, before the the latest patch hit, if someone made the Eater appeared (orb or a summon item), if you used a magic mirror or ported far away, he would follow whoever did the summon (or stop and fight whoever was on the way).
Update: Eye doesnt follow, but he doesnt have the "defeated" message. He just doesn't show up. Thanks to the players on the server who participated in the experiment.
But since the patch (1.05) hit, if you did the above, he'd never come, and it would say he's "defeated"
However, to be honest, I havent tried a teleport when the Eye is summoned. I'm going to test that now, on the server.

The Eater followed me half way across a large map back to my home after it killed me, pre-patch. Likewise, I know the Eye despawned when I died.

Ah, thanks. I had no idea this was even in the game now. Helpful in some cases, but could probably cause small problems with the lag every now and then.
Marrshu said:
Did you teleport to the spawn? If you ran back, he would follow... a character doesnt usually run fast enough to put that much distance between him and the Eater.
Edit: Doh, you said it killed you. That means you did teleport to the spawn. Never mind. But that was still pre-patch. You can't do that now.
HaRyu said:
Edit: Nevermind. It made it half way of the distance to my house before it despawned. It still travels a pretty large distance tho.
Marrshu said:
Yeah, the bug ruins any boss brawls near the main spawn if the corruption is some distance away. On my first MP server, we used to do double boss fights back at an area near the main spawn/HQ.
You can still do the double boss fights, but you'll usually have to do it on or near the corruption. Hopefully the bug is fixed in the next patch.
I just wanted to give a shout out to the harpies in my world for how awesome you all are.
Thank you for making "Operation Air Bridge" a success. Thank you for not hassling me endlessly while I attempted to build my Air Bridge from one floating island to the next. You truly made the project a peaceful, relaxing affair.

Shaft is now only around 200ft from the bottom! Yes it got flooded with the water to the left of it. But all seems to be fine and no massive water damage has been done. Just a collection of it right at the bottom of the map!
But that's me off till Sunday, away camping in the lovely Scottish weather (rain) so wish me luck! Hopefully we've got it to the top by the time I'm back!
Enjoy the weekend folks!

So, heh, I found a water pool EXACTLY over a pool of lava. I just need a pickaxe that can break obsidian. >_>
