Sorry if I missed your point, but if you only mention when the player is knocked back by attack and build garbage, then grappling hooks, cobalt shield, or carefully celled building place (so that when you are in one cell no enemy exist in the cell since the whole cell is inside the peace zone of...

Well if you say fresh new players.. Some basic tools are needed, definitely. That include grappling hook/cobalt shield, all the building blocks (for a new player without slime statue, even building blocks are a difficulty! However otherwise you will have infinite gel -> slime block) Also some...

For mechanic geeks, helpful MODs including MechMOD are a great help for construction. However, have anyone considered the other way of construction .. To say it in brief, just use mouse scripts to automate construction of complex structures. That is the inverse of modding, in that, it does...

The farm just missed to be the maximum truffle worm autofarm. As far as I see, Max truffle worm spawning possibility is 2/3(Mushroom tiles has 2/3 possibility to spawn mushroom styled enemies) * 1/5 (increased spawning ratio of truffle worms when devs decided to make it vulnerable to mobs) =...

Darts are projectiles. About fire, it is that a projectile(#1), which has launched from the flame trap, spawns flame projectiles(#2) as it moves. All are projectiles.

Won't shark statues or jellyfish statues work?(at least when riding slime mount, I didn't try that.)

Why not get a heart or two or more, like, every tick?

I clearly remember that I have said that unicorn dashing speed is 12 pixels per tick, or 45 tiles per second, and the unicorn give a immunity of 30 ticks to the enemies. Therefore, It is not hard to calculate that you need at least 12 dummies to make unicorn invulnerability machine work. About...

Well I read the section of the code again and this time I found the 4/5 line near the end of the function, which means there is a lot of exceptions. The best chance is no higher than 2/5 as there is a rand(2)==0 check before the marble-spawn line and I didn't see more because there are tons of...

It seems that we shouldn't make a suggestion to the dev clean up the code because we shouldn't look at the code at the first time. And what you are asking is very very hard to speak because there are many many biomes and many many conditions. If there is no sufficient reason, no one want to...

Personal opinions (if inaccurate feel free to correct them): 1. We are talking about Marble/Granite spawns, which is different from each other(maybe). Spawning Mechanics are complicated, and it is very likely that the same theory only apply to a few conditions. So I should clarify: we are...

Stand on marble/granite blocks in cavern layer and you can farm them.

I will put an end to such questions. I don't know more ways to accumulate NPCs to somewhere near 200 except for: releasing a lot of bunnies and/or goldfishes; Hoiking an army of target dummies to one spot; Go to Vortex Pillar to farm (not necessary killing) Vortex Larva/Hornet/Queen(Alien...

About the Dungeon Guardian you can have a try, as I'm not always right. Do an experiment! And about the golem.. Even though the golem can be finished off within seconds, you can't get one cell in less than 50 seconds on average(as the drop rate of it is 2% and it seems to be not affected by the...

I didn't mean the quick buff key, I meant that if you need the buff potions, then it should be taken in account the time it takes to get the potions - aka, planting, fishing, crafting. If you need a lot of Pumpkin Moon Medallion it needs to be taken into account the time you loot pumpkins...
