It's a steal at $10.ameratsu said:
I don't get the complaint about enemy spawns. I built a fortress in the sky over corruption. I've had to deal with Eaters AND Harpies, not to mention the usual slew of Zombies, Slimes and Demon Eyes that spawn just because I have so much ground up there. Doesn't bother me in the slightest, though I am rocking the top weapons in the game.
Looks like a player by the name of Alle was accidentally auto-banned by the server for "projectile spamming", which I still have no idea why that's considered a grief/troll trigger. I've unbanned you Alle, so you can come back on. (Again, please let me know if you've been banned! In most cases, its by accident!)
In other news: We've got some meteor impact sites that haven't been cleared out yet, so if anyone needs meteorite, come on down. (I think there's two right now?)
The LogTile plugin that I was testing yesterday, I've disabled for today. It works great, but the problem is that it's a bitch to read the log. Until the info provided becomes a little more user-friendly, doesnt look like we'll be using this plugin on the server for a while.
All right, pool's open, come on in.

I might be opening up my server to non gaffers as well, since it seems that only 2 people play there 
, so if you wanna play with gaffers only go for HaRyu's.
Seems like no one wants to start a new character -.-

Actually, lots of non-gaffers come to my server.

So with the GAF server at its current state, is there any talk of hosting PVP events? Like a castle siege or a heist
Gully State said:
Yes. I'm working out the logistics. I "was" going to use a plugin, but from my understanding, it would automatically put everyone on the server in PvP mode, which I'd rather not do (since a few of us only like to be on just to build). Also, the plugin HAS a capture the flag type mode, but there's no "flag" that players can capture, its apparently always invisible. Makes no sense, really.
I'm looking into other options, but when we're ready to start PvP events on the server, I'll let you guys know.

Anyone got a spare copy lying around they want to get rid of? happy to pay the $5 for it.
So... I dug this express tunnel underground all the way to the far right of the world... and I found this huge empty chasm with jellyfish and random shit falling down from above. I was curious, so I start climbing up to find out why there was no sea....
And I found.....
WTF! Lololololol.

Nope, the tileset was completely loaded, the bug is that there's this HUGE span of space on the server which technically shouldn't be there, but it is, and nothing can be there, since it doesn't officially exist. The tunnel I built into the blank area doesn't remain there. When I logged in again, the tunnel just ends at where the world is "supposed" to end (same with the sea as you can see in the pics).
It's kinda awesome, because I can now jump down the void and freefall all the way to hell directly, and just grapple onto the edge of the world before I hit the bottom. Lololol. Lol.

Absolutely loving this game right now. Just made my first Obsidian farm and it kind of looks like a Katamari. I think I need to redesign it though. There are times where the liquids will just float and never drop.

Y'know, I never understood the need for the collecting area above the main storage area. Does it somehow magically add liquid due to the game's physics?

Yeah, it's an exploit. You drop water and water falls down, however you can fill your bucket with just a tiny bit of water while the rest has already fallen down, hence, creating more water.

Metalmurphy said:
I know that, I'm talking about the 3 tile area beneath where you dump the bucket.
So is the reason that small area is there in case you can't grab a bucket and don't have to go to the bottom to get more?

Obviously , if you mess up your timing and don't catch the water while it falls then you have a reservoir to refill from.Grimm Fandango said:

From the site:
*yawn* Just woke up from a nap.
If anyone is trying to get on the server, give me a few moments, need to get the patch, as well as the patch for the server mod (looks like its out). Should be up w/in the next half hour.
Oh nvm, that didn't take long at all (only been 3 minutes).
Server back up.

"Added the Sawmill which replaces the Workbench for advanced wood crafting. The Workbench is now designated for basic wood crafting."
Seriously? What is this business? How many more times are craftable items going to be spread out like this. Eventually we will have to have a separate item for everything we want to craft. Want to create pink vases? Gotta have the glass blowing station. Want to make gold bricks; better have the jeweler's tools. Need torches? Better have a dedicated fire pit. It's starting to get ridiculous.

I think it's a step in the right direction as there were just way too many items crafted at the Workbench, making the crafting menu too big to sort through quickly. I was surprised they didn't have a 'Furniture Maker's Table' from the start, to keep tools/building supplies and decorative items separate.
Until they make an improved crafting menu (which they haven't mentioned), dividing up the things you make at each station will keep the crafting menu from being overly large.
Retro said:
This, this, a million times this.
One thing that really bugs the heck out of me is how slow it is to trudge through the crafting menu. It also doesn't help that I like to keep all my crafting stuff (furnaces, alchemy stations, crafting tables, etc) in the same area, so I end up standing within range of all of them at the same time, increasing the amount of stuff I've got to sift through to get at what I want. Of course, that's more of an issue with my own interior design than anything else.
Still, I'd like to see a bit of an overhaul to the inventory screen. Put the armor/accessories stuff in smaller boxes next to the money and ammo slots, and make the crafting menu just display everything currently craftable in the current space without requiring the need for scrolling.

The craft menu should be another 5x5 grid with all the stuff in it imo.

In case anyone is curious, I kind of blew my Terraria load after 1.0.6 hit with my giant sky castle. It's not that I am sick of playing, just that I reached a point where I ran out of ideas for stuff and found myself just making generic rooms everywhere.
So, I decided to take a break from it again and should probably be on this weekend.
And yes, I am aware a meteor hit my castle. I'll fix it.
Ideally, there should never be more than 25 items you can craft at a single workstation, so instead of being a menu, it's more like a 'shop', with all the items you can craft at that shop are always displayed (mouse over to show material 'price'). That would mean making additional workstations, but I am all in favor of that as it means more furniture.
Pretty sure you could get everything narrowed down to 25 items or less.

Yeah...every time I've been getting on lately, there's only 1-2 people on.
Did manage to find some Feral Claws and 2 of those Flowers that reduce Mana usage while tunneling through the Jungle.
@Retro: I mined some of the Meteor that hit your castle. Didn't get it all, but most of it.

I did this and I thought it was very clever:
Using the workbench as my floor and putting the anvil above it, on a wooden platform.
Since we're comparing Obsidian Farms, here's mine:
Edit: I just noticed that my "clever" workbench layout shows up in both pictures. Oh well.

Good idea on putting a chest and hellforge in your farm.
*kentucky voice* I say, good sir, that is a mighty fine top hat you got there!
Errr Its possible for a meteor to hit your settlements?! If I build a Skybridge above it, will it protect my home?

FantasticMrFoxdie said:
Yes and No.
A meteor can hit anywhere, however, it will never hit in a place in direct view (its always offscreen, even if its just off screen, its still always offscreen.
Building a skybridge, or some sort of protective barrier (on the server, we have the Nyancat Barrier), will protect stuff on the surface. The drawback being is that if the barrier isnt that thick, it wont leave behind a lot of meteorite. If you dont really care, then a 1 block thick barrier is good enough, really.

That pretty much sums it up for most of us, I think. The only major thing they added was new furniture, and that wasn't too hard to gather.
Server has been awfully quiet lately too. *sigh*
Oh, I've got an idea for the server, I'll let you guys know after I get things setup.
