      @@leirbag798 no, that’s not the point. the game will not count a house as suitable unless it’s like 45 tiles away from corruption. as in, they couldn’t just add an npc that likes it, they’d have to change the way the game and all the npcs deal with corruption entirely. it’s not really as simple as you are making ot out to be, i.e; just adding npcs that like the biome.

    I think people make protective hellevators / subways just because of stress.
    Depending on the person, things changing with inaction (Lack of doing anything) is stressful. Especially when the game goes "Did you know the corruption spreads faster once you defeat the Wall of Flesh, and only slows back down when you defeat Plantera?"
    Now tell me. Even if you aren't just sitting around and doing nothing, you are most likely spending a lot of time on your own projects. Fishing for that specific weapon, digging out an area for that Rod of Discord, building some NPC housing, making your own base, etc. All of that takes a lot of time, and as you are doing it, the world is slowly progressing without you. Eventually, that corruption is going to reach your frequented areas. Eventually, that corruption will reach one of your towns. Eventually, the corruption will take over your whole world if you just sit there and do nothing to prevent it.
    TL;DR - The corruption spreading faster post-Wall of Flesh is stressful to deal with for some players, so they dig out holes around their existing corruptions to prevent them from spreading to critical areas, such as the jungle before infected mud blocks became a thing in 1.4.4

    I made a large world, therefore I have 2 corruption locations. With much dedication I have cut like 8 block tall and wide gaps to the two evil biomes making them like a lab ad the evil biome is contained and seperated from the outside.
    The other corruption biome has been converted into a crimson biome :).
    When I defeat WoF the main priority is to dig out holes to contain the new evil

  • @San-lh8us
    @San-lh8us 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    i always thought that containing it was a kinda of a secondary objective, when you are able to beat moonlord and control the evil and good biomes, then you truly became the master of that world. And also, as we start the game, we are more or less as strong as the NPC's so then the evil biomes are a real threat, with strong monsters, and if you take too long on the game, the evil biome is going to get to your base, making life much more difficult for you and the NPC's, but as we progress the game, we become incomparably stronger than the NPC's, so the evil biomes, even on hardmode, at some point just become a minor nuisance at most to us, but to the NPC's it is more dangerous than ever, if it gets to you, you will have evil invasions on your cities and villages, but at the point we beat the game, many times we don't care what happens to the world anymore, so the NPC's are left by themselves if the evil biomes are not contained when you are done with that world

  • @Greywander87
    @Greywander87 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +17

    This is a big reason I get stuck at the end of pre-hardmode and never advance further. I'm glad demon altars don't create random corrupt blocks anymore, and that corrupted jungles can be reclaimed instead of turning into a forest when purified. I still want to protect my biomes, though.
    Protip: Use the mole minecart for horizontal tunnels. The minecart tracks can be used for fast travel, and will stop corrupt plants from growing (but not corrupt vines from hanging down).
    For vertical shafts, make it at least three blocks wide and line both sides with ropes. The ropes prevent corrupt thorns from growing into the shaft.

    I usually just dig a 5 blocks wide tunnel all around the starting forest biome, and usually fill it with water for decorations and a free fishing pond, and when playing Calamity mod, I try to save the ocean biome and one desert biome at least, you just need to pay attention to the plants, they tend to grow and get closer to a corruptable block since they can corrupt it.

    I actually have a couple mods that have some neat little gadgets to help with infectious biomes: gensokyo and the touhou little friends mods
    Gensokyo: seiran, a late pre-hard mode boss, drops the “lunarian purity sphere” when defeated, this gadget clears all infected blocks in a 50 tile radius, all of it. It even prevents it from coming back too as long as it’s placed there, they’re basically better sunflowers. Though granted in order to get them you’re gonna have to right seiran, and she’s quite tough especially for late pre-hard mode.
    Touhou little friends: Yuuka’s summoning item is available in the shop that appears at night in some spots, the mysterious gap, for only 2 gold. She’s an ordinary pet that acts as a clentaminator if you have green solution all for only 2 gold

  • @sir.ifpratamaxii
    @sir.ifpratamaxii 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Just 3 blocks wide gap is enough to contain the evil biomes. The only thing that people encourages you to build 6+ wide pit is because of the thorny bushes.
    Thorny bushes ONLY grows at the surface level, on evil grasses to be exact, therefore you only need to cover the evil grasses with whatever non-corruptible blocks you have. This makes digging containments much more easier and faster.
    Creating a containment pit doesn't even take too much time, as i can do it for less than 10 mins (My main world is a large one, with 3 corruptions in it) per biome. Molten pick, a slice of cake, Ancient Chisel/HoC, and Mining potion makes the work even faster.
    _Digging a containment and purify it later is much more efficient than to dig long holes just to purify the unreachable corrupted areas._

    I made 6 - 9 Containment Hellevators on my world mostly to just keep the biome from getting ruined as vertical clentaminating is a bit of a hassle, with the containment hellevators i can pretty much purify the area next to it before i advance towards the infections to further purify and safely contains it and let the spread goes downwards over time on the side i dont care much.
    Usually this can take too much time with using pickaxe so i usually just use Scarab bombs to make things easier and also to get rid of the background walls.
    Medium world can take up around 130+ Scarab bombs for a 6 tiles wide hole and around 70-ish for just 3 tiles wide hole.
    And ofc noone have the time and sanity to just fish oasis crates just for that much bombs, but i lacked sufficient sanity in this game so i did it anyway.

    Terraria is a game where I feel that time is *always* ticking, especially in Hard Mode, and as such, the potential consequences of doing nothing for too long can feel devastating, particularly in regards to the jungle.
    The videos saying that said biome could cease to exist and thus potentially harm progression felt threatening, even though it would take very long for that to happen and that recovery would still be technically possible.
    Due to all of that, I used to dig throughout my world and divide it into multiple segments in an attempt to control corruption. I did it a few times, and yes, it was very time consuming, so it's not something I would recommend. If anything, it is as if the game wasn't designed for this, specifically speaking about pre-hard mode.
    You'll have the means to control corruption and more once you're well into Hard Mode, so letting it grow *is* part of the Terraria experience. Plus, the pressure added due to its constant factor provides incentive to the player to progress.

    @CarlosSilva-bh4bi 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Nah, it works fine, but you must use Dynamite
    And also, make barriers on every biome
    For example, seal the Desert on both sides as sand corrupts fast as fuck
    Seal both sides of the thundra, not presisely on the frontier, but nearby, check the side of the beach on both biomes to check if a corner of the "V" passed
    It thats the case, use dynamite to contain that triangle left
    Now, seal you Jungle, is far enough to bot be corrupted by a lot and make sure to use that hellevator to find the corrupted chunks and destroy them
    So digging holes work, but not inmediatly, you need to make sure to get some touches done before nothing
