Guide talk:Walkthrough

Why was this created? It is nothing but a link to the Getitng Started page. As such, I see no use for it at all. -- TechpriestMagos 01:19, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

I just started this about 40 minutes ago. I'm still working on it.--Mr. Farenheit 01:28, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Minor nitpick about the dangers of stacked monsters to newbies: isn't it safer to stack them rather than face attacks from different directions, which imho is way more dangerous? - Spinfx 07:19, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

The point of that line was to warn against opening the door for what seems to be one zombie, because it could be several of them. Should I reword it? --Mr. Farenheit 15:57, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, that's ok then. - Spinfx 02:13, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Underground Jungle
Shouldn't the description of the Underground Jungle's location state that it is now located under the surface Jungle rather than at the opposite side of the map from the Dungeon? On a side note, in my Small sized world there didn't seem to be a concrete division between the surface Jungle and the Underground Jungle; when I started digging from the Jungle I eventually ended up in the Underground Jungle with no other intervening biome. Dunno if that's normal, or should the player instead expect to go through the Underground and/or Cavern biomes first. - Spinfx 08:22, 18 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I didn't think about that, but that probably would be a better way to describe its location. I'm not entirely sure whether there is anything between surface jungle and underground jungle on large maps. I'll have to check it on a mapping program. --Mr. Farenheit 16:35, 18 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Both of the large maps I generated don't have any normal layers in between jungle and underground jungle. It looks like a thick layer of mud is the only thing that separates jungle from underground jungle.--Mr. Farenheit 16:52, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Polishing
The first version of this guide is complete, but it needs polishing. What it needs now is more bulk. If you have any tips or tricks for certain areas, feel free to contribute. I'm not entirely satisfied with the layout, either, but I can't think of anything else to do with it. If you think you can come up with something better, feel free.

I'm going to be taking a less active role with this article now. I will check on it from time to time, but I'm done adding content to it. Please post on this talk page if you change something substantial, so that it can be discussed here if someone has a disagreement.--Mr. Farenheit 03:10, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Underground/Cavern vs Dirt/Stone layer
Which one do we want to call it? I chose to call it Dirt/Stone layer, but I was unaware that this wiki calls them Underground/Cavern layer. Do we know if they have official names? Personally, I think Dirt/Stone makes more sense, but if this wiki is going to officially call them Underground/Cavern, I think it should be changed to that.--Mr. Farenheit 05:19, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Officially, yeah, they're the underground and cavern layers. When I was adding links I didn't change the names you used though. Go ahead and fix them. I usually only fix edits after a while in case the guy who put them wanted to reword it first. - Spinfx 08:43, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Why isn't this guide in the sidebar?
Excellent.. I've been more or less stumped on where to go. I'm on mostly gold items, but this bit about demonite and the progression of it didn't seem that obvious until finding and reading this page..

It made me wonder, why was this page so hard to find. It seems like a good guide, and all the main guides on the navbar just stop after giving a basic introduction.

It seems to me this article deserves a better visible place, can we make it happen? -Anonymous 10:50, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Way too nice
I don't mean offense to anyone, but this guide seems to assume the player is someone who has never played a video game before. I was exploring the corruption, fighting and defeating the Eye and mining meteorite with 4 defense, only 100 health and a iron sword. It is annoying, because I want a walkthrough to guide me from this point but this is useless as it assumes the player has no idea how to fight. Surface exploring should be more focused on, especially finding Corruption and surface jungle. These are very rewarding for a new player and easy to traverse, just swing a broadsword constantly and place blocks covering chasms.

Double rainbow
This guide is great, but all those colours are simple terrible, in my opinion. Can't we just get rid of them? I think the abundance of illustrations make it quite clear what the biomes look like. --Toxik 18:56, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
