So, how do you make pixels, really? Just from killing monsters/finding loot?

The morning after release and a 500MB patch? This is like Arma 3 all over again.

Edit: Wait, nothing has changed at all, steam must of thought it funny to download the majority of the game again.

yup... I have also seen an item that allows you to turn ore into pixels.

consoles.. around 100%

as for mobile, I can't say... I don't really follow that scene so I don't know if they have mentioned anything.

there was a patch, they never said for what... but it does seem likely that this will be a case like dungeon defenders again where any time they want to change anything it's going to be a 500+mb patch as I have been reading the game is programmed in a way that to patch it they need to push a new .exe :/

Someone did not read the memo it seems.

Phase 1 of the BETA wil have regular updates and patches that may even make your characters incompatible, or wipe them.

The first patches will be mostly bug-fixes, but they already talked about a content update in a few days.

The lava layer appears to be exploitable: it generates as an empty layer filled with liquid (safely traversible by building and then hollowing out shafts) but dirt blocks placed there will occasionally transform to ore.

On the other hand, if you touch the bottom of the map you're stuck in a permanent fall animation until you build and "fall upward" onto a one-block-high platform.

It takes so damn long to smelt ore. Is there a shorter way? a different furnace or something?

Having fun with the game so far, even if I haven't been doing many different things than Terraria yet. I think it might be time to switch planets and change things up. I haven't hit the distress beacon yet but I guess I might as well give it a shot.

My starter planet has a ton of obsidian and very little gold. The obsidian takes so long to go through despite having a gold pickaxe. I haven't found any platinum/diamond to mine and I've found very little of value while exploring.

I reached the molten lava center, so I guess there's not much there.

What are those rare things that you can find that look like giant breakable jars that rotate and are usable? I haven't figured out what they do or if I'm using them incorrectly.

Someone assumes too much it seems. I do know they will be patching constantly I just had the server exe out of the folder, it redownloaded it so I put the download down to that.

I have no idea, used one and it broke into a yellow cloud that made me glow for a short time.

They can give you some kind of buff or explode and burn you.

Indeed, massive upgrade. I only use my starting weapon for the melee knock-back now.

Yea I'm not expecting them to never break. I'm sure they will quite a bit. I just think it would be interesting to see how long it lasts.

This is coming from someone that has his 200hour Terraria saves and worlds backed up 3 times on different devices lol

Mmm, yeah. I was sticking to the same system and going between the two level 1 planets on it trying to explore so when I died I was going back and trying to get back to where I was...which was 5minutes running to the right or left.

Oh god, the way too quick de-spawn rate of drops just boned me.
Molten core dropped but I had a ton of minions to get through first. ;__;

Is the GAF server open to all? Do I need to do anything or speak to someone for the details (couldn't see in the OP)?

I squeezed in about 3 hours yesterday. I'm hooked.

So there really wasn't patch notes on what that 500mb update was yet?

Isn't Steam using a differential patching system now? It should only be downloading changes to files, not downloading the entire file again.

Played a good 3-4 hours yesterday , pretty slow at the start, you need to mine a lot and that iron is pretty rare. I managed to get an anvil but now i need 30 iron bar for the beacon .
My Spawn point is right next to an Avian village (Pretty big) with lot of merchants and chest to loot :P
There's a few things I noticed :

1. No hostile mode on/off for village (accidentally hit a guard while defending myself close to village from monsters)

2. Spawn point seems to be your ship only ?

3. Not sure everyone's gonna love the difficulty at the start

4. Is it me or mining is kinda slow ? (even with copper pick-axe it's pretty slow)

But I'm really enjoying this game so far , building a house is much more fun and less of a drag and so much faster .
I need to play online now
