is there anything to do with pressure plates besides use for traps? i see some wires and pumps, but not sure how far you can go with this.

Do flaregun flares ever burn out? Because it's a great weapon against the Brain, as I've found.. and now the landscape is kinda littered with fire.

Also, I found a snowball cannon. My favorite silly item so far, at least because you're never going to run out of ammo even if you try - plus it's automatic with a huge knockback.

In other news, I am definitely liking the variety in materials for construction. Even the basic shadewood and rich mahogany are enough to spice up otherwise similar environments. Items not being mere recolors (with exceptions) is a good bonus too.

You can make automatic lights that turn on and off when you enter and leave a room.

And the flares, while long lasting, aren't eternal. I kinda like it that way, you don't have to shoot them again when you go back but they won't be messing up the entire ecosphere forever.

Now that I've had some time to put some good time into playing, I'm really enjoying 1.2. The world somehow seems far more whimsical than before; I've seen goldfish "walking" around looking for a pond, a dozen different varieties of zombies (one of which dropped a rain coat), flying fish, and umbrella-wielding slimes.

Ropes are amazing for spelunking, by the way.

You can wire it to certain statues and they'll spawn either a creature, or a heart/star, depending on type.

EDIT: I just found a Web Slinger.

Spider-man, spider-man, does whatever a spider can...

[Flying Dice]

Nice! What'd it drop from?

On an unrelated note, Pirahna Gun seems like it'd be incredibly annoying in PVP. Going to have to test it out.

[Girlinhat]

Slime blocks are really fun to play with.  Slime generators and building materials can result in some -weird- options for construction.

They're found in web-covered chests in spider caves. They also have a shorter range than other grappling hooks.

I found a web slinger in single player.

Basically, grapple with 8 ropes. Beats the ivy whip by a long shot!

8 SHORT ropes. Ivy has a longer reach.

ARGH. That damn wyvern is just eating me up and I doubled my defense.

Also bombs or lesser health potions~

Get a timer going and it's good times all around.

E: Incidentally, if any forsaken server folks have a bezoar or medicated bandage they feel like offloading, I'd be willing to cough up the 20 plat I found laying on the ground for it >_>

Finally killed a Wyvern. It seems easier in low G with rocket boots. You're all floaty but a bit more maneuverable. You can rise out of the way faster. You always have the option to fall and go about as fast as the wyvern, making it a "sitting duck" of sorts.

What's annoying is that my mouse won't always find Terraria so I can use extra mouse buttons.

So, The Twins can now be randomly spawned in hardmode, as can the Destroyer. That's a thing that is a thing.

In other news, the Clothier sells Tiaras and Princess Dresses at night I think. I was a pretty pretty princess for a Destroyer fight with my friend and then I decided that familiar clothes and top hat is a better idea.

EDIT: Fire Feather drops from Red Devils in hardmode Hell. Thought I'd make a note here.

[BigD145]

Reforging wings..... ugh. 20 gold baseline.

Hey guys I've not read the topic, and the only time I played the game was closer to the release date (someone gave it to me but I was interested in other games at the time.)

Anyways, back then I kinda cheated to get some of the stuff because I was lazy, generating a map of the world and then going to get stuff I wanted. Now that I'm not cheating I'm finding it is unusually easy to find tons of iron, silver, gold, and even those life heart things. Did they make them more frequent or something? I know I seem to be running into more expansive caverns that lead to interesting things.

I've found like 4 life crystal heart things in my main world, and in the small world I made just to get tungsten ore I dug straight down from the spawn point and came across a fifth fairly easily...

I have not even fought any of the bosses, I don't really know how the game 'progresses' or what to do first =o

[BigD145]

Get out of here and play the game.
