Talk:Silt Block/@comment-67.233.64.177-20111212074540/@comment-2248030-20121214072300

What i actually did was right after entering hardmode, i collected a bunch of clay and found a prestarted path just under the dirt/underground level and dug a 6 block tall (a character's max vertical reach) path under the large area me and my friends built our bases at, and then replaced the floor of the path with one block thick of clay (could use silt or various other non corrupting blocks) then where i wanted the safe zone to end i made a 2 wide path lining the walls with 1 block thick of more clay. Then before the corruption gets too close make sure that it is hallow just outside the newly made safe zone so you dont have the problem of corruptors and voila. A nice safezone is made relatively without much effort. Works like a charm.
