Recently, I have been playing Terraria with a few people who are completely new to the game.
Because of this, I'm noticing little things that you would really only pay attention to the first time you play.
Item Tooltips.
A lot of items, especially the important early ones, don't have a tooltip or lack a tooltip which tells you what they do.
So I think a lot of new tooltips should be added.
This would certainly help new players, as they wouldn't have to look at the wiki in order to know what an item does.
Here are a few suggestions:
Grappling Hooks
Release a hook to the cursors location
Press "E" to use - Or whatever hotkey you set it as
Gel
Can be used to make torches
All types of Minecart Track
Right click to ride the rails
All Dressers
Right click to change clothing
All types of storage
Right click to open
All Hammers
Use on blocks to toggle different styles
Empty Bucket
Use on a liquid to store it
All types of coins
Used to buy items from NPCs
Bug Net
Use near a creature to catch it
That's all I can think up for now, but feel free to suggest any other tooltips that should be added and I will list it up with the rest.
There should be no problem in adding a bit more information for beginners, and more tooltips should be quite easy to implement into the game.
