    Robocraft has stealth ninja's with shotguns now. I approve.

    I don't. Everything's slowly getting more powerful, and bombers are useless now thanks to flak and LOMLs.
    I also can't use my old strategy of charging in with SMGs thanks to these shotgun things.

    I want old Robocraft back. When megas were a thing but there weren't any silly flaks or whatever.

    As far as I know, everything is loaded directly and not dynamically, exception for maybe world tiles and out-of-screen rendering. I guess it just makes good use of the resources it has, which are mostly small textures. It's also good to point out one of the biggest performance hits in Terraria happens to be the biome backgrounds, which happen to be among the biggest textures in the whole game.

    Those small textures are specifically textures with a 16*16 dimension with the SurfaceFormat of Color(general PNG file, converted to XNA with these settings). This gives the texture a size of 1024 bytes (one kilobyte) which allows it to load so fast.

    IF you want to peek in Terraria's code, I may suggest using IL_Spy. But be warned, some parts may be inaccessible because they're inside a preprocessor directive.

    1024 happens to be a number which appears a lot in Terraria, and (I think) it's the buffer size for the entire game.

    Can I ask you a OC question?

    I have swords, guns, magic, summoning (main four), flails, music, necromancy, and fire, but I want to come up with two more unique weapons for two more OCs. So, how do you decide a OC's weapon?
    ppowersteef
    ppowersteef
    Well, when it comes to Terraria weapons, I mostly pick up the weapons that I've been using the most. then I draw the char with said weapon, and before I knew it, I became known with the weapon.

    I've tried to switch my Terra Blade to Beam Sword one day, but now it seems I'm more familiar with the Terra Blade though, and I cannot argee with it more.

    Same goes for all other OC's, I pick up the weapon I use the most.

    Ok. This is for story purposes, to populate my in-story town, but I do design a vanity for them once I get the chance.

    Welcome back! I'll have you know that Nageru threw lots of daggers in my direction while you weren't here. ;w;

    Water blades are used to shape the crushed brute diamond, so it's isn't that bad of a practice. Speaking of hammers, where is @[150:@Milt69466]?

    You will need someone to hold you rigid like a carving knife, and, I suppose, brush your nose on the sides of the diamond to cut it, because doing it yourself won't be easy.

    When will Steef be back? There has been some knives flying in my direction lately. ;w;
