Zig Forums balances a fictional videogame

How do you balance an 2d open world with crafting so metagaming does not exist/every build is balanced?

You don’t really, balance is always going to be an approximate thing

Zig Forums is terrible at games and its fascination with balance is one piece of proof of this

>Terra blade but still fighting the twins
>neither of the two characters are using wings

>MUH INVENTORY MANAGEMENT MOD I CAN'T PLAY WITH OUT IT

JOURNEY MODE, YOU DUMB MOTHER FUCKERS. IT'S ALL THERE, FUCK THE MOD

I think 1.1 had it right, there were multiple armor sets corresponding to a certain playstyle/class, they should have kept that aspect

It still happens, 4 armors for the 4 classes and each class with a terribly overpowered weapon, Zenith, Last Prism, Terraprisma,Celebration MK2.

Use the UFO, it has way better turning speed than the meme ship.

Add dating mechanics. No need to see "Bobs and vigene hehe", have sweet dialogue and give/recieve gifts with your dating npc, and also recieve lower prices from tbe NPC.

So what's the deal with the state of modding? Can you really not play any mods with the new content yet just because the mod loader hasn't updated? How does that make sense?

Is this the terraria thread?
If so, can you guys rate my build. The last time I posted it, people told me it looked like an alien dick. So I decided to rebuild it in a way that resembles a phallic tower and not a penis turned into a tower, besides that I had no real goal in mind or how it was gonna look.
And I ended up with pic related, I'm not sure how I feel about it after having spent around 2 hours disassembling and building the new one on top of it - but it feels like a step in the right direction.
>TLDR;
Rate my second version of the dick turned tower.

The core game has changed, like, throwing damage don't exist anymore, world gen is different and the codding of the game was probably fixed to be less spaghetti.

There are many things I don't like about new update but I can forgive it for ability to shit on solar pillar while airborne.

If you remove the whole last floor it could look like a giant hourglass, which is cool.

UFO is useless because soaring insignia exists. You have same horizontal speed as it, but much better maneuverability and can dash. Only issue with it is accidentally flying into space and getting fucked over because gravitation behaves differently there.

asked in the vg general but might as well here too
what can i start doing in advance to help curb the progression of corruption and shit later on, once i start hardmode?

Rush a mechanical boss and get the steam punker so you can buy a clentaminator.
That's about all the advice I can give you.

Why stop it

yea but i can at least start building hellevators early right?
stuff like that

You can contain it early game, but it's a waste of time when you think about it.

The only reasonable solution, is the clentaminator.

looks like shit

Not the same, and not a solution.

right, i do plan on using the clentamintor.
i assume sunflowers become useless in hardmode. guess theres nothing else i can do to prep
guess i'll just start building the hellevators.
how many blocks apart do they have to be again?

it's better than the solution magic storage provides

I don't use mods

Around 5 blocks and sunflowers work, just to a lesser extent.

Based purity chad

i dont mean the width of them, i mean how far apart each one has to be from one another for the clentaminator method to be effective

Journey mode: stop biome spread

gg ez.

>never had an issue with not enough storage
>never had an issue with organizing
>always made cool looking sotrage/crafting rooms
Why are so many people bad at this

thats no fun
i play terraria for the time sink, the grind
i already built a minecart rail across the whole map horizontally (large world)

If you are planning on doing tunnels, just make the math yourself. It's 60 tiles of range
