Talk:Boulder

What is this "massive damage"? How high is it?


 * I took about 150 damage from one with jungle armor on, not sure what that amounts to --Felix20 16:59, 2 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I took about 80 firts time i met one without armor at all. Second one gave me 140 damage with 7 defense. --Dart193 17:29, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * 15 defence, 144 damage --Dart193 19:09, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I had sod-all defence when I discovered my firsts boulder (copper armor, no crystal hearts found). Originally I thought it was a new item so I eagerly dug my way towards it, only to be surprised as it practically insta-gibbed me the moment I got close. Heh. - Spinfx 09:28, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

quirk
I mined into a boulder from above by accident and it killed me something ridiculous; but the curious part is that while the boulder disappeared, the next time I passed under where it was the rock that was below it collapsed. The background wall behind where it was is a different sort than what's around it.
 * It is probably stone block which can be toggled with pressure plate. It is inactive stone block. --Dart193 14:25, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

The going-left "Bug"
I don't think that is actually a bug. After all, when a boulder is dropped from a trap it is not hit from either side, which means it should default to a side.

It is not hard to force the directions really, even when queueing boulders for a trap.

If you are on top of a rolling boulder.. is not a bug
"If you're on top of a rolling boulder you will take the damage." This is not a bug. If you want to request a new feature for being able to stand on top of enemies then go request it. A rolling boulder is an enemy NPC (or projectile) which naturally deals damage when you touch it. It is part of the game engine and intended to work this way.

Additionally, here is a real bug: 1. Place a boulder on the ground 2. Place a chest on top of the boulder 3. Fill the chest (?) 4. Use a pickaxe tool on the boulder 5. Say hi to your desktop for me

6. You can take it a step further and place the boulder on ice blocks to crash the server.

Can boulders hit enemies?
If yes, could the wooden platform bug be used to attack the destroyer and eater of worlds with boulders?--Rampardos18 12:19, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Boulder speed
It now seems possible to pass the speed of a boulder through the use of asphalt blocks. I have run into speeding boulders going the same direction as me. A little uncertain how long they take to get to "full tilt" though.--Mikeshire (talk) 06:32, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
