Talk:Statues

the bomb statue can be used to make money fairly quickly - hook it up to a five second timer, stand by it, collect bombs and sell them for one silver each. put this lot in a secluded area with no mobs, leave it running, easy cash! similarly, you can put several Piranha statues between two dart traps and hook them up to the same timer, to grind hooks.

anyone else got any bright ideas?

Ideas for testing functions
I'm thinking some of the statues need to be placed in a certain biome to be activated, or perhaps placed on a specific kind of block. Or perhaps they just haven't been given a function yet. It's going to be interesting to see the sorts of things people find in the coming weeks. I don't have them yet so I can't test without cheating but I think it's likely that for example the Imp statue may only work in the underworld, and Hornet may only work in the jungle or underground jungle. I would test the Reaper and Gloom in the Dungeon, the Goblin during a siege, and the Angel/Cross in the Hallow. Plasmafox 09:29, 7 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Hate to rain on your parade, but I've looked at the code. Imp, Hornet, Goblin etc... all do nothing no matter where you place them or what under what conditions. --GauHelldragon 10:17, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Aww... well I can't wait to see what the devs do with them. Plasmafox 11:18, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

They're for chest marking.
I'm thinking the decorative statues are here to mark chests more quickly than signs would. Would you rather have a chest above a sign that you have to click to read "Swords" or a picture of a sword right under it? They also cover pretty much every category, if you include the mannequins. --Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.2.232.118 (talk • contribs)
 * I'm not sure that's what they're for. It's certainly one of their uses, but if that really was their express purpose, they would probably be craftable (decorative ones at least). --Lunboks 17:15, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I am of the opinion that they are basically statue Pokemon. --Theothersteve7 19:08, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
