Any tips for fighting Plantera?
I've killed Skeletron Prime, the Twins, and the Destroyer. I've got shroomite armor and a hallow repeater with too many arrows.
I've got butterfly wings, lightning shoes, horseshoe cloud balloon, moon shell, and a star cloak.
The closest I've gotten Plantera was just over half hp. I've tried using teleporters to kite, but after teleporting a lot while waiting for my potion sickness to go away, Plantera killed itself.
The game is feeling very slow right now, because I'm trying to find a way to farm money effectively to get my repeater to unreal and my accessories to warding.
Is there a secret to killing him solo?

You can use the party flask money generator.

+1 to just taking it to the surface and killing it there. I think it's an exercise in frustration trying to deal with that fight and all the crap in the jungle and all the extra maneuvering to fight underground.

Also, Destroyer summons are pretty cheap (6 iron, rotten chunks, night souls) and yield 65+ gold per kill (sell the souls of might).

Just Space Gun'd Skellytron rather easily.

So, does anyone have tips on how to find the stupid Lihzahrd temples in the jungle? I need those bricks.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Apparently saturation bombing the Jungle works.

Speaking of which, I have switched over to a large Corrupted world with a moderately new character (brought a tungsten pick and some basic gear and loot over), and this world is hilariously broken.

Because the entirety of the surface Jungle is taken up by Corruption. This is to my spawn's immediate right.

To my spawn's immediate left is a Living Wood Tree, one of the four, just on that side of the map. It's also the only Living Wood Tree I've so far found that doesn't have a treasure room. I found two living wood wands and one leaf wand. Once I find me some bombs I'll have in excess of four thousand wood, if my previous experiments are anything to go by.

My spawn, in addition, is something of a mini floating island, a hunk of dirt and stone separated from the surface by a thick cave.

There is only one thing to do now. My new base is going to be Yggdrasil.

Get down to just after the start of the lava layer, then go side to side.

You can use the party flask money generator.

Nope :<
They fixed it!

Oh have they? Hm. Well, on one hand, good. On the other... waa! D:

I liked the free money.

[Baneling]

Has anybody used the coin gun with platinum coins to find out how much damage they do? I'm guessing a couple hundred, since gold seems to have about 100 base damage.

It isn't worth it.

[Darvi]

I've gone around with four stacks of platinum once.

... I still prefer the Rocket lawn chair, though.

[Baneling]

I know it's not worth it, but I want to find out how much damage it does anyway.

There is never any reason not to know how much damage your Awesome But Impractical weapon can do.

[Darvi]

Somewhere around 200 I guess?

[Kagus]

Wiki (and now Darvi) says around/over 200 damage per coin.

One copper coin does somewhere around 30.

If we calculate out how much potential damage a platinum's worth of damage in copper coins is, we find that using that many copper coins would deal about 30,000,000 damage (not taking into account either crits or armor reduction, let alone ammo conservation).

Now, if platinum coins did 30,000,000 points of damage, you might actually consider using them.  But they don't.  So don't.
