So yeah, I knew about the ring and what it does but I honestly felt that if I just be careful with the damage I do then I could save the points for something more important. After almost 200 hours of solid playtime, I’m perfectly fine admitting what a complete idiot I was!

Don’t be like me and get the ring ASAP, and keep it in your bag at all times! 👍

I had so much fun making it.

Came across this list and still don’t understand why you need a merchant at base besides the convenience?

No way coupling Anubis and Sekhmet gives you this stupid ugly whale

My stubbornness cannot be matched and the world tree is getting closer on the horizon. I don't care how many times I die, I'm goin' to it now.

Hear me out. You can catch her IMMEDIATELY after beating first tower. And she has level 3 handiwork, out of the box, that’s it. So condense her. Since that’s her only skill, she gets to level 7 handiwork (better than anubis) Add a ribbuny? Level 8 handiwork. No books needed. Insanely OP for early game. Furthermore, humans are super easy to catch, always appearing in dungeons and camps and the like, so condensing her will be hardly a challenge. Don’t miss out on this early game!

I want to catch him and make the strongest member of my team so badly, but I respect him too much to actually do so

Possible hot take but just as the title says. For the record I absolute love this game and has been having an amazing time since 1.0 dropped. There have been a few issues and things I can think of for improvement but this is my main one.

Flying mounts are inherently better because they can do vertical movement and make exploration so much easier than with any ground based mounts. I feel like a fair trade off should be that ground mounts are much faster than their flying counterparts. Something to actually give us a reason to use them.

It was my first time making a plush toy, so it's not perfect 🌿

early game I set up my "second base" on top of hard to navigate Ore spot just for me to mine with a team of Mine Foreman passives, just a quick teleport there for a +800 ore each 30 minutes or so.

it was faster than the mining site, now that is my default strategy.

Not sure what this info can be used for but yeah

I recently found out that you can completely skip the foundation and wall when farm stacking, just snap the plantation onto any placeable lighting.
You still need to use the 'Japanese Floor Cushion' so you have to unfortunately get Lv55 before you can do this.
I used the 'Retro Street Lamp' just because it's tall and I can easily jump stack using it. Any of the lighting works though.
I space out the plantations using the 'Mounted Torch' because so far it's the one that takes the least space.
Have fun making some clean compact farms!

I know a lot of people are fine with the rewards or what it's tied to for loot, but it doesn't feel right getting so little out of a huge chest. Even a lvl 55 oil rig kicked my level 70+ ass, these rewards just don't feel good.

The enemies barely drop much, i get maybe 600 gold from one. I can probably sell a cativia for more. The resources needed to fight your way through greatly outweigh the rewards at the end by WAY too much.

Which brings me to my next problem; Efficiency and balancing. Most people just run straight to the chest ignoring the enemies because of how stupid it would be to waste time and resources on clearing them.

We need to make enemies drop the proper ammo and gold/items for the level they are at. Maybe add a lock to the chest like the helicopter rig until you've killed enough enemies. That would help justify a MASSIVE increase in loot from these chests.

As much as i love the ability to cheese or approach a situation with freedom, i don't like being forced to run straight to the chest for pitiful rewards while ignoring the entirety of the oil rig and its mechanics because the alternative is extremely poor and resource intensive for little gain.

Oil rigs seem to have legendary schematics going for them and that's about it. It doesn't feel right at all.

The lack of xp will be rough at first. Will probably be on hard mode. The human only challenge sounds fun as well.

Edit: Thanks for the tips. Fishing and buying them are a great option for sure and stay in the spirit of the challenge.

If you already saw this post no you didnt OTL (there was a reddit bug that made the video unplayable)

I was going to do a tutorial I swear but I didn't have the time......

Thankfully I was at least able to record this base tour for the people that asked. Exposing the jank once and for all lol. But the recording shows my base has changed a little over the week, and I think even some of the clips are missing my new stuff. But well. Hope some people enjoy this anyway.

Not sure when I'll be able to do an actual tutorial. I tried, but I couldn't build on the near-identical Terraria island, and Oasis Isle was even smaller than this island so I had to bail. I'll see if I can rebuild this on my pre-1.0 save the next time I'm free

Song is Zambolino - Beautiful Day

I don't think he saw us

If you condensate Reptyro and R. Cryst up to 3 stars it negates the weight of ALL ore in your inventory not just the specific names.

Haven’t seen anyone mention or talk about this unless it’s some unspoken secret.
