HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEEEEEEE

That's golden :D

yeah when you plant glowing mushroom seeds and give the mushroom grass around 100 blocks or so to spread it will convert that area to a surface glowing mushroom biome, this is so you can have the NPC truffle move in as he can't move into a non-glowing mushroom biome.

Cool. Do those big mushrooms grow by themselves?

yeah, given enough room and pending you don't harvest them first they grow into giant mushroom trees that you can cut down for loads of glowing mushrooms. Just watch it on bloodmoons.. nasty things spawn in a surface mushroom biome during bloodmoons. But it's sorta worth it to make one especially early on so you don't have to go all the way down to the underground for glowing mushrooms and eventually Truffle will sell a item that allows you to create mushroom bars for crafting mush tier items.

Edit: forgot to add, you must make sure that your makeshift surface glowing mushroom biome is at least 100 blocks long or the game won't register it as such and thus you won't get the mushroom trees.

A new locator has occupied my mushroom house. >.>

This is my second attempt at a house, aiming for a grey brick tower. It's constantly under construction. The things I like the most are:
* Pressure plates at the entrances, which lower and raise the exit walls (intruders not welcome!)
* Zombie pit (lava stream area) which features convenient dart traps on repeat timers as well as a removable roof and floor for easy loot collection. You can see the poor squirrel that got caught in the collateral damage in the second screenshot...
* Slime and Demon Eye party areas above the front doors - they'll never want to leave the dart dodgem area!
* Waterfalls and lava flows - no house is complete without them!

Trouble is that I have so many friends now that none of the monsters ever seem to spawn near my house any more :/

It really needs a cleanup too, but I haven't found a maid yet.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

wow I thought it was bad when mine kept giving me journyman bait as a reward. I was like "wth? I spent half the day trucking too and then fishing in some stupid spot, usually somewhere there is some nasty mobs in hardmode and all you can give me for my troubles is more f'in bait?" and he wonders why I let the monsters into his room during bloodmoons and solar eclipses.

UUUUNNNNBBBBRRRREEEEAAAAKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE THREAD! IT LIVES! AGAIN!

Ahem... well, I just finished building this and I wanted to share. It's a liquid-making factory where I can also mix any two liquids and just stand in place while I mine it. It's all wired up and can be controlled from the switches in the room on the bottom-left.

The stuff on the right just keeps pumping liquids down the stepped edges (which produces slightly more liquid than you started with after settling at the bottom, so it's self-perpetuating). From the top three tanks, they get pumped over to one of the tanks on the left. Now these tanks have little gates below it which I can switch open to fill one of the two marble tanks. The "airlock" style second tank lets me control how much I want to mix instead of just dumping it all in at once. Then I just stand in the middle and let them flow into the mixing tube -- the "U-tube", if you like ([i]cough[/]) -- and harvest the results.

When I'm done, if there's any leftover liquid, I can hit the lever to the right and it will empty the "U-tube" to the trough below where I can pump it back up to whichever tank it came from.

I'm quite proud of it and happy with how it turned out. :D

Also, Gemspark blocks are great for lighting. I made a partyroom with constantly flashing Gemspark blocks for when the party girl moves in. :p

*keeps casting the unbreak spell over and over and over*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAA!!!!!!







Oh shit, I'm out of spell points. *sigh*

Jesus Christ! That makes me tired just thinking of building all that! And I don't think I was aware of there being plumbing in the game. Is that new, or was it present in 1.2.x?

The pumps looked a bit different in 1.2 and earlier, but both they and the different colored wires were introduced in 1.1. Liquid physics have allowed for duplication since 1.0.

Well, there's no plumbing per se, but when you wire together the input and output pumps, they'll teleport any liquid occupying the same space. They were probably more useful for moving large amounts of liquids in older versions before buckets could be stacked. Still fun to play with though.

Thank you. :)
