Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Terraria! Soon with: Criticals! Inventory Management! FAQ: Its a DEMON ALTAR dammit!

Even if my experience so far has been to kill a few slime things and get some dirt which was quickly made into a box around my guy as I waited out the night.
Awesome.
Look for natural cave systems. Digging anywhere else is fairly pointless. You shouldn't have to explore far to find one. Often you can also find copper/iron on the surface, but not in large quantities.
I was just digging. I realized after I broke through into the cave that there was already an opening on the far side of the hill i had dug into

it's really slow and chances are you will do more damage with a lot of other weapons
there's nothing stopping you from getting a second muramasa, though
That way I will have the original and the new weapon when I get around to making one.
I don't think I can.
Something about the controls is utterly jarring and unintuitive to me. I just find the whole thing crazy hard to play.
Think I'll stick to Minecraft!
All I keep doing is throwing workbenches and every time I get near them to try and craft stuff, I scoop it back up.
to craft stuff, you just need to go to your inventory while standing near a workbench
you just dropped it on the ground
you want to put it in one of the first ten inventory slots and either click on that slot or hit the number key that matches it
once you've selected the bench, left click on the area you want it to go
If you build it with other material it will block meteors from hitting the ground which will deny you a whole resource.
And I'm only like 50% sure wooden planks don't block meteors.
I'm feeling very underwhelmed and I'm not sure where all the praise came from.
I managed to get a little house made and I mined some iron.
What makes this game fun?
I am not asking sarcastically.
There are basically two main things to do: Explore and Build. I tend to do more building than exploring, the latter feeding the former's need for resources.
There are specific goals, but really, they just provide you with the means for more exploring and/or building. That's really the game in a nutshell - if neither of those things is providing you with fun, this may not be the game for you.
However, if you like either of those and you're just not sure what to do, just talk to the guide a bunch, or set the goal of better equipment by finding silver/gold and making armor and weapons from it.
You can host&play or you can run the server app in the Terraria folder. Either way it is very straightforward.
The hardest part is opening the port (default is 7777) on your router.

Off I do inside the dungeon, and nothing attacks me. Go down a little further, and get instagibbed by the flying skull heads.
Ugh, yay glitching out.

I don't think you understand how fluids work.
I don't understand them either!
At the top corner there you can see the entry tunnel. I flooded the left side from up there. I just didn't have the glass there above the wooden platforms when I did it. I blocked the platforms with a couple solid rocks or whatever so that water wouldn't get in. When I flooded, it actually went a ways up the tunnel but putting a block in a space with water in it basically deletes the water if there's nowhere for the water to expand so I just placed blocks and mined them out until the tunnel was clear of water, after I partitioned off the flooded areas with glass.

Even if you constructed that thing in reality, water would not fill the entire J. There would be air trapped at the tip and, at a certain point, the compressed air would exert more pressure than the water, and you'd have an air pocket.
I know enough that the water would stop flowing at the bottom and wouldn't rise up on the left side because that's how the game mechanics work; it's similar to building air pockets when exploring water.

It took multiple floods from various heights on both sides.

Did it roll over to daytime when it happened? He'll instakill you when the sun rises.
