Talk:The Underworld

Merged into the Environments page
This article, while well written, is so small that I'd say we merge it - along with all the rest of the biome pages - into the overarching Environment page. MarekkPie 14:58, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

v 1.0.3 Update, very few spawns.
This was my first time in the Underworld, so I'm not sure, but the amount of spawns I got was ridiculously low. I mined like 600 Hellstone in plain view (no tunnel shaft or anything fancy), and got a total of 1 Bone Serpent, and 2 Fire Imps. The Underworld was described as "Unrelenting", so I expected more enemies. Was it a one-shot fluke, or did v1.0.3 drastically tone down the spawns? happypal (talk &bull; contribs) 20:25, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The spawn mechanics can be abused unintentionally. Fire imps only spawn in a 2x4 open area, and note that the bottom two requires a flat surface.  "Unrelenting" is a little harsh.  And Bone Serpents spawn slow by any measure.  The underworld is much less dangerous than it's cracked up to be, unless you fall into lava.  --Theothersteve7 20:31, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, increasing your screen resolution (which I assume you did, and which became available with 1.0.3) reduces spawn rate tremendously. See the list of known bugs. --178.141.117.237 20:57, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * There it is, tha. Playing 1920*1200. On a side note, that resolution makes it feel like I'm playing with a wallhack... I can see points of interest miles away. happypal (talk &bull; contribs) 21:22, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
