Got this for $2.50 in the Steam sale and I couldn't get into it in my first try, but then again I didn't know how to do anything. Is there a good noob guide or something?
I hate Terraria, and I hate the developer as well. Both are bad, IMO. :/
Thanks.yeah the wiki is actually really helpful, here is a link to the starter guide

So I only tested this out for like 10 min since I didn't have much time, but I was just hacking away at things on the surface, then I fell into a pit/opening into the earth and it was all dark and I had no way of jumping out since I was so far deep. What am I supposed to do if I fall into that pit/opening? I had to just restart.
you will be even more bummed when you figure out the latest patch made it impossible to flood hell, the water just evaporates.
IRON. My mid sized world for iron.
I have more SAND Dirt and stone than I know what to do with...
Iron, my kingdom for iron.
got in on a 4 pack over at the hardforums. been playing this all weekend. good fun. mining gets a little tedious. and you are ALWAYS on the assault, which is starting to get old. can't do anything for 30seconds without an onslaught of slimes or zombies.
how do you mine faster? tedious!
So I've beaten all the bosses, collected all the best armor and weapons, now what? I'm quite bored.
If you're only where zombies and slimes are, just wall off the back of the screen as you keep going. Once you start getting lower with guys that shoot through the ground and worms, this obviously no longer works, but by then you'll most likely have the gear you need to make it a minor nuisance.
Also, if you have gold gear, you can probably make a bridge in the sky and find the sky islands or take out Eye of Cuthulu by smashing shadow orbs and hopefully making meteors fall so that you can mine meteors (which is a PITA until you get decent gear.)
well I'm running around in copper gear right now because I haven't found a reason to upgrade yet. I have done all three of my sky islands. did the last one last night. wasn't worth it. got the same horse shoe that was already in a different chest. but the baloon I got was a nice treat. can jump real high now. speedy boots are of limited use, but the nice flat bridge I built from island to island they came in handy. the onslaught of harpies was... irratating. went through 300 arrows and only have 40 left after recovering all I could.
and of course right before bed I got my first blood moon. the 3 bunnies in my base were a hoot. didn't expect that. and all the zombies and eyes gave me lots of cash.
being taken back to your spawn point is a blessing and a curse. if I get in over my head, save and quit. or save and quit for a quick teleport back to base. but if I'm deep underground, losing my progress if I have to step away (pretty common with little kids around) is annoying. any way to change your spawn point?
fuck yea! gonna try that pause thing and spawnpoint reset tonight.
I did notice my iron pickaxe was a little faster. just looking at the damage in the crafting menu the few extra damage doesn't seem worth while since mining is so tedious.
It's not the damage you should be concerned about, as a weapon, it sucks. What you should care about is how much faster it mines blocks...and it (the golden pickaxe) is tremendously faster than the crappy wooden pickaxe
my bad if that's what you were saying...may have read your comment wrong.
so can you dump down through a platform as opposed to just jumping up through them?
