Yep, thunder and I did it. It was hard as fuck honestly. We are accomplished fighters!
It was a doozey that's for sure.

Skeleton Prime spawned while we were gearing up to take on the Twins, but we couldn't manage to kill him before dawn. We got him down to 25% though, so with a bit more DPS we can take him.

Can longer connect due to version conflicts. Sticky?

I got a small update yesterday, and can still connect. See if there's any updates it wants to do?

Stickymayhem · Wed Oct 13, 2021 6:17 pm

yeah I updated it like 20 minutes after niknak posted

Also, does anyone know where the obsidian is?
EDIT: Found enough in a cave for what I needed

Incomptinence · Wed Jul 22, 2015 7:36 am

Obsidian is just water and lava mixed. Make buckets out of the iron equivalent to move water onto lava.

Okay, the whole storage situation is just getting ridiculous. We really, really need to organize this shit before it gets any worse. All hands on deck right fucking now, we're building a storage room, filling it with labelled chests, and clearing up the random chests everywhere.

The last time I built a storage room the whole base exploded, I don't really wanna see that again

N-n-not my random chests!

How will I play virtual Hoarders now?

Wiznard, Amelius and I kind of defeated all three mechanical bosses. I died ALOT.

One Seven One · Thu Jul 23, 2015 6:26 am

Dam, what about Plantera or the cultist?

Yeah that's the problem I'm having even on a non-expert world, even with full adament and the warding prefix on everything.

Incomptinence · Thu Jul 23, 2015 9:19 am

In expert boss HP scales with connected players so grouping up isn't a set in stone advantage. Helps manage dumb shit like them spawning regular enemies and distracting them long enough to heal tho.

THERE WILL BE CRUCIFIXIONS. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?

Edit: Also you didn't even leave me enough hallowed bars for a drax. Do you not love me any more?

Amelius · Post by **Amelius** » Thu Jul 23, 2015 2:30 pm #106800

Plantera is next, I believe.

Terraria is really really hard to die in, expert mode or not if you use potions. Regeneration + ironskin + swiftness + greater HP potion gives you enough advantage to roll the twins/dessie solo. Skele prime you don't even need that, you can cheese it on a rail line, but only solo. How do you get these? Make a mini-farm with the Dryad's stuff and the seeds that you should have many of at this juncture.

Also, I find warding (+4 D) isn't actually that useful, compared to more crit chance on accessories (+4% crit chance) (I have a 53% critchance with my megashark alone). The worm scarf I'm still using though, because jesus christ 14% damage resistance + armor is too good to pass up.

Gravitation potions help a ton as well. Generally speaking, however, I use only ranged attacks against bosses because melee is too risky. Plantera is gonna be interesting though, since I'm only using chlorophyte and haven't even tried him on expert-mode yet (I did a 1.2 playthrough). Might be apt to make a little hut with a bed in the jungle so that people can reinforce easier, at least.

Sticky you didn't give me pw I did PM you :^(

One Seven One · Thu Jul 23, 2015 8:18 pm

Huh, I die far too easily just farming souls of light. Yeah rails have been my go to for setting up boss areas, it helped cheese the fuck out of the wall of flesh. But I can never keep to the speed I need to, I'm either too fast or the enemy boosts just fast enough for just long enough to rub against me a few times and kill me.

I may need to make that switch and just rely on my armor and the worm scarf for my defense. Since my main problem is killing them fast enough.

I can't remember if it previously had it so it only flipped your character and not the screen, but with the entire screen getting flipped would be too confusing for me. Yeah straight up melee only seems to be good for worm bosses.

Post by **NikNakFlak** » Thu Jul 23, 2015 9:30 pm #106872

Ping me on IRC for the password or ask the other guys here. Wiznard, incomp, Thunder, Amelius, etc. we need more people always anyway, It's more fun that way. We are pretty much the only ones who go one. Be sparing on who you give it out to though, I will be upset if you mess up the organized chests or if something happens to the base.
I'm too lazy to send forum PMs.

I just set up a teleporter hub. Right now it only goes to the upper half of the base. (Yes, I am too lazy to walk that much) and wayyyyyyyyyy far into the jungle. Wiring took forever and cost me a fortune but it's so worth it.
We are currently on plantera or whatever.

Incomptinence · Wed Jul 29, 2015 9:41 am

Well be prepared to go back to terraria if it doesn't work properly. Space engineers makes big strides but the multiplayer stuff is one of the remaining rough edges.

I request making the server small since the demented every client runs the entire world netcode seems to mean smaller servers use up less bandwidth per player.

Stickymayhem · Wed Oct 13, 2021 6:17 pm

I've run space engineers servers before. They ran pretty alright.

Incomptinence · Wed Jul 29, 2015 11:11 am

Especially with mods.

Incomptinence · Wed Jul 29, 2015 1:26 pm

Sticky can barely deal with SE weakly updates. Adding mods to the mix is a recipe for disaster.

Jazaen · Post by **Jazaen** » Wed Jul 29, 2015 1:34 pm #108104

Yeah, most of the fun ones are problematic. Though some do work pretty well even with upgrades. But now that there is built-in FTL...

Timbrewolf · Post by **Timbrewolf** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 7:43 pm #108489

Fuck Space Engineers, we need to OPERATE again. Get a new unit of hardened ARMA mercenaries together and storm the beaches of some co-op maps.

On topic of Terraria:

I hate how trying to use anything but a Melee build is just making the game more challenging for yourself. Melee has the Highest DPS, the Highest Def, and gets crazy weapons that can hit people through walls or heal you on hit. It's maybe not as pronounced in the early game, but once you hit mid/late game and you pick up melee weapons that have significant range shit goes sideways and never comes back. The difficulty curve of the game is lopsided as fuck because of a few people who are smart and exploit certain things, so the devs get angry that people are beating their content too easily and so make basic strategies not work...

...which only forces people to exploit shit that much harder. I'm disappointed in the game's final boss because I've built a giant square box that I stand inside of, chug a ton of buff potions, then poke him in the eye through the wall with a god-tier melee weapon I found. There's no real strategy involved, I just stand there taking the few hits he can throw that pass through walls to my dome while returning fire until one of us dies.

And it has to be this way, because while I'd love to be running around the map with my magic shit throwing fireballs all over and having a great fight, they decided to remove the player's ability to heal off damage incurred on the boss (the whole entire point of the end-game magic gear) because some people were "exploiting" it.

So no. Terraria's final boss fight is you standing in a box and poking it with a spear while it throws fireballs at you periodically. Because trying to approach the game in a more natural 1v1 fight using the tools given to you is "too easy" or some shit.

There's also the fact that if every enemy dropped all their loot every time you killed them, the whole game would last about an hour or two because you wouldn't have to grind the same bosses and mobs repeatedly trying to get a goddamn weapon or accessory so you can progress. I must've killed Duke Fishron at least 20 times today alone, just trying to get that fucking magic spell of his. I've gotten tons of bubble guns, bows, summon items, his wings, and his mask, but never once have I gotten that fucking tome (nor his flail, for that matter). This wouldn't be such a pain in the ass if it wasn't arguably the best spell in the goddamn game and essential for beating the final boss with magic.

EDIT: Ground my way to victory against the Moon Lord. We Nebula armor now. Popped over to expert mode and shrekt a bunch of bosses for some extra doodads. Flying around on my Cute Fishron mount slinging Godly Nebula Arcanum at fools. I can hit 6000dps with this fucking thing. I still haven't fucking gotten that goddamn Razorblade Typhoon but it doesn't matter anymore. This Nebula armor breaks the game. If anyone wants help getting anything hit me up.

Amelius · Post by **Amelius** » Sat Aug 01, 2015 8:45 pm #108870

Okay, I just started playing Spess Engineers. Is there a way of more efficiently building ships than trying to mystically decode what materials you need for each part, taking barely enough with you after a minute or messing with the interface, and trying to construct it bit-by-bit? The game looks like it has a ton of depth, but running back and forth between a crate to build a ship irritates me so much that I can't just use what's in the crate automagically if I'm two feet away.

Except melee weapons are mediocre compared to glorious ranged weapons like the tactical fucking shotgun or megashark midgame esp. Magic varies between 'absolute shit' to 'pretty good'. Melee is consistent, but relies on you being in absolute danger 99% of the time, which, on expert mode, is sketchy as hell. That said, if you abuse arenas that glitch bosses out, obviously the game will be a joke.

You need to change the settings to increase your inventory size to something much more reasonable.

Also increase the speed of refinerys and assemblers. They all start at the lowest possible level.

Also build a mini welding ship. The big welder makes shit super fast and pulls from any crate it's attached to.
