This section is for questions related to PC Terraria game play issues. Examples of the types of questions appropriate for this sections are:
  • How do I defeat <enemy/boss>? What gear should I have before facing a boss/entering a biome?
  • How do I build a good home for my NPCs? Why won't <NPC> spawn/move into my house? How/where should I build a base to be as safe as possible?
  • How do I control the spread of corruption/hallow/other biome/enemy?
  • I've gotten this far in the game, what do I do next?
Questions about problems running the game (crashing, not starting, hardware) belong in the <PC Technical Support> section.
Repeatable game play issues that are clearly bugs should be reported in the <PC Bug Reports> section.
Issues about the forum itself belong in the <Forum Help & Feedback> section.

If you see a thread that has obviously been put in the wrong place, please report it and the staff will move it.

All <Forum rules> apply to these sections. In addition to the Forum rules, please observe the following:

POSTING A QUESTION:
  • PLEASE use the Search feature of the Forum to see if your question has been asked/answered before. There is also a Wiki for the game that may answer many questions (but may lead to spoilers). The <PC Guides> section contains many useful tricks, walk-throughs, and suggestions that may address your question. Look at the top of the section for pinned FAQ threads and trouble-shooting guides.
  • PLEASE be as clear as possible when writing your question. Where appropriate, a screenshot can be very useful to illustrate your issue; this is especially true for NPC housing issues.
  • PLEASE use the best grammar and punctuation that you can. If English is not your best language, let us know and do the best that you can. 'Chat-speak' is discouraged; if you can't take the time to write out your question clearly, why should anyone take the time to help you?
  • PLEASE be respectful to those who try to help you with your issue. No one on the forum is paid to provide support; we're all fans of the game like you. Very few of us are professional tech support people in real life.
  • PLEASE be patient when waiting for a response - see previous point. People who respond here have to sleep, eat, go to school/work, and may be anywhere in the world. There is no one "assigned" to answer questions at any given time; it is a completely volunteer group, including the moderation staff.
  • If an answer to your issue is posted, a thank-you is nice but not required. It is VERY useful to indicate which solution(s) worked, so that others in the future can benefit.
  • NEVER post questions related to hacked/cracked versions of the game, or questions about unapproved mods/tools. Such questions may be reviewed for possible infractions.
  • PLEASE do not rage-post or ask for your money back. Please refer to the place/site where you purchased the game to request refunds.

POSTING A RESPONSE:
  • THANK YOU for taking the time to help your fellow Terrarians:D
  • PLEASE be respectful to the original poster, and to others who may have responded before you. Be especially tolerant of those who obviously struggle with English.
  • PLEASE read the question carefully. If more information is needed from the OP, request it politely.
  • PLEASE read other responses before posting yours. Alternate solutions are welcome, but parroting a solution that has already been posted is not especially helpful.
  • PLEASE do not post to say, "I don't know," or to simply engage in a 'technique war' with other responders. These are not helpful to the OP.
  • PLEASE check the date of the last post in the thread before posting; if it's been three months, the issue has likely been solved or forgotten. Report threads that are resolved to be locked.

USEFUL LINKS:
