So, I'm conflicted. Terraria is my 'zen game' of sorts, something I always boot up to pass time when I'm bored of other things, and have accumulated roughly 3700 hours in it.
I like to build, but whenever I go in, to do it, I always either whip out tools from another world to destroy what I've built out of distaste or better ideas, and basically, the whole build, destroyer, rebuild, all while having to deal with enemies, summons not withstanding, idea... is just... leaving me kind of bothered. It's hampering my building enjoyment.
Then you have things like TEdit, which let you build and make adjustments in peace. Technically, you're simulating countless Terraria days and nights just getting things built, avoiding enemies altogether, and all around having an easier time.
So, here's my question Terraria community: Should I feel ashamed that I don't have the patience and want to build in Tedit? Or have I sunk enough hours in to do as I please without seeming like a total cheeser? I know, fun is subjective, but like, Is there a merit in doing everything by hand in Terraria itself? Or is using programs after so long common sense? Would any of the devs of the game see creativity through building programs as subversion of their game? After so long, I've grown tired of fighting bosses and running through biomes that aren't decorated with things, some things woven in to fit into the biomes, like a jungle treehouse, or a frozen lake with a log cabin next to it in the snow biome.
So I want to decorate and build extravagantly, but... I've reached a point where doing it in-game is being tedious. Is this normal? Sorry, I'm rambling a bit, just trying to get input from people who have either played as long as me or near it, what they do for fun these days, maybe even dev input if it's possible!
