More on the exact timing of 1.0.6;
That was posted at ~2:30 EST, so pretty much any time after 10AM tomorrow but could be as late as 6 or 7PM.
So in other words, by tomorrow night. I would imagine a lot depends on the Steam approval process, which is why they can't give an exact time. It's not like flipping on the kitchen light, I would guess.
So yeah, make any last minute preparations (like stockpiling building materials). The Devs have said in the past that the game was launched early and that 1.0.6 is closer to what they wanted to have for launch. In that way, we've only been playing the pre-release test version of it, and in theory... the real game is about to launch.

That actually upsets me a little. Sure it was annoying but it was the risk you had to take in order to dig in it.
Blue just tweeted a reply to somebody and stated that the 1.0.6 Changelog won't be up before the update, so unless they continue to drop little details there won't be any major news tonight.
I was just talking to Harlan about this, and I think for me it's a mixed bag. I was fine with Mud (it meant you had to be careful in the Underground Jungle), but Ash made Hell especially annoying. So I would have been fine with Mud staying 'muddy', but the change for Ash is fine by me. Even though loose Ash seems much more likely to crumble underneath you.

While happy that I will no longer die due to being crushed, I was just getting used to the mud/ash = trouble idea, ah well.Retro said:
I guess Terraria will be laptop friendly, so at least I may be able to try the patch tomorrow on my sisters laptop as I wont be home until Saturday.

Good news to hear about the update! Not played in a while so this will be a reason to jump back in!

Sweet. Haven't played in a while now so as long as the update doesn't prevent my friends and I joining in our server I can't wait.

The mud was pretty annoying... a better solution in my opinion would of been like in a lot of games with falling bricks. The mud could shake for a couple of seconds and then fall, it would make tunneling through it a lot easier as you could quickly put up blocks or plant grass to reinforce it. Really what made it annoying was the random pattern with which is fell, sand is fine in my opinion and I think it was a cool idea to have other blocks (like mud) that are affected by gravity
Actually, I hate to go off on a tangent but one of the features I wish was in the game but I know never will be is falling boulders and being able to craft support planks. Like as you're mining you have a chance to unearth a big 3x3 boulder above you that you'll have a few seconds to prop up with a plank before it crashes down (planks being placed like walls underground) they'd only be destroyed by dynamite. It would add a new element of danger to just digging like crazy and give more use for dynamite.
Anyways... 1.06 tomorrow - WOO! Right when I'm working on moving to a new apartment!

I finally got the game after months of lurking LP's and this thread. I'm loving it so far. I have a few super newb questions that I couldn't seem to find in the guide:
Is the Guide a pretty important NPC? The fool died on the first night right in front of my doorless house. :lol
Are wood walls eventually going to be able to be knocked down by higher level enemies? Just wondering so I can prepare for teh worst

If you have no idea what materials are needed to make what items, and you don't use the Terraria wikis, the Guide is pretty important.
You can't kill him permamently anway, so you really cant get rid of him.
The only things enemies can knock down are doors, and that's only the goblins. Zombies can OPEN doors, but only during a blood moon.FantasticMrFoxdie said:
Otherwise, there are enemies that go through walls, and you really cant do anything about them (The bosses and the worms.)

"Important." Right... that's why we keep tossing his voodoo doll into Hell's lava any chance we get?
Just started to try my hand at building a castle of my own, and by God, its taking forever. Whats bugging me the most at the moment is removing all the dirt walls underground, it takes sooo long. Maybe building a basement and underground forge wasn't such a good idea afterall.
Mordeccai said:
1. Dig a small crack from the surface down to where your basement rooms will be.
2. Dig out a few more adjacent cracks to approx. where your basement will be. You need not be accurate.
3. Dynamite that fucker.
4. Profit.
Actually, I think you can skip steps 1 and 2 (though they are necessary for dungeon wall). Get to a demolitionist and see if that works.
And on that note, they need a 'wallbuster' bomb that only breaks background walls.

Thanks for the tips, Marrshu and HaRyu!
Just got my furnace. This game is addicting.

Alright, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
This was allowed by HaRyu, because the update is coming tomorrow.
I've always wanted to flood hell, and it worked

I take back what I said about hellstone. I found a better spot, set up a better tunnel and now I'm rocking molten armour.
Ah, the sun rises, the birds are chirping, and I'm going to be hammering F5 until the patch launches or my F5 button breaks. Who needs birds when the devs might tweet? Who needs sunlight when there's a bright Terraria sun that wears sunglasses when you do... much cooler than the real one that, you know, only sustains life as we know it.
Seriously though, could be 2 hours from now, could be late this afternoon. All we know for sure is "Today", there will be new furniture, drastic changes to the healing and magic systems, and mud/ash won't collapse on you anymore.
It's supposed to be stormy here anyways, so it's not like I could do much outside even if I wanted (and generally, I don't). If history is any guide, it'll probably be after noon...

Nooooo I'm leaving for a week without internet in about 3-4 hours. I hope the patch drops before then so I can have take 1.06 Terraria with me.SneakyStephan

That mud and ash change is so welcome.
It didn't add any challenge whatsoever, all it did was make digging through hell and the jungle a massive fun crushing chore.
I might pick this up again after the patch, the chore hell digging made me quit playing.
