I'd like special worlds that are self containing and don't allow you to bring in old chars with oodles of stuff, bigger than the large world and with much more broken terrain and bigger caves. I don't like the digging part of the game much and I prefer exploring.
So I got this game over the weekend and am hopelessly addicted. I have a question though....
What is this thing? It's directly below my house. At the very top end of the.... stone/dirt? level. It's just sitting there, not moving. But little twirly vapor things shoot out of it, and I get injured if I get too close. But I can't seem to kill it with anything I have so far. I don't even know if it's a monster or some weird geographical thing.

We just did a map restart with those rules in a multplayer server. We just broke hell this weekend and are pretty much at the end.
I keep wondering though, is it worth it to restart everytime we get new biomes? It's work, progression is fun, but I wonder if I should save a few patches and then do it.
in other news: This is my new obsidian farm:
Water spout, plus lava overflow, chip away at one spot for obsidian for hours.

That's the altar you use to summon bosses.

I've pretty much decided not to touch Terraria again until alternate worlds are released. I figure I'll get a glut of content all at once instead of picking at the small things a few at a time.
So I hit lava, got water on the lava but can't mine it. I think I need the Nightmare Pickaxe from reading other posts but I don't know where else to go. Cthulu comes out occasionally, but I have not killed it. I've also seen those eater of souls thingies but can't dig to those black orb things. I dunno I'm kind of stuck - please help.
Ok. Why can't you kill Cthulu?
Wear some silver/gold armor, buy 2 stacks of shuriken and make 1 stack of potions. Hotkey the shuriken and potions. Summon Cthulu or wait for em and just toss 500 shuriken at him. He'll die before you run out of shuriken. He drops cool stuff which open up a lot of options.
Now a Dryad will move into your home. Buy purification powder: this turns ebonstone into normal stone, allowing you to get to those black orbs. Be wary: every third one will summon bad, bad things.
Sounds good, I'll give it a try. How do I summon something, just with three orbs?

your long answer is shorter than your short answer.
After you have killed the eater of worlds then there is like a 5% chance everyday for a meteor to spawn. If you break an orb then there is a 50% chance one will spawn that day. I think I'm remembering that correctly.

I read about a 3 page argument on it and what it came down to was the first orb always spawns one and every other one did something else, either guaranteed one but you never knew when or increased the chance or etc etc etc.
So in my limited playing of this game I have yet to really care about money or the merchant. They seem pretty useless. Am I missing something?
The merchant is a good way to turn stuff you don't want (duplicate items or ores below your current armor level) into money, which you can use at the other NPC's to get stuff.
They also sell potions on the cheap, which is nice if you can't find any mushrooms around.
Anyone notice how some things (mattresses and the copy machines in Highrise) are totally impenetrable? A steel wall, yeah that makes sense, but bullets should obliterate copy machines.
I don't know about you, but I always buy a bullet proof printer. Its a lot more expensive, but I think the advantages are apparent.

Made a lightsaber. Going to try and find a floating island next. Then, maybe break orbs to summon a boss.

The gun vendor sells bullets which are good until you can start making meteor shot. Grass seeds from the Dryad if you like landscaping and decorating. But generally, they are of very limited use. The best thing you can buy is probably the mining helmet, which gets outclassed as soon as you get an Orb of Light, Meteor Armor, or Molten Armor.

If you'll excuse my plebeian question, as I am naught but a habitual Console gamer and, therefore, not familiar with the voodoo magick necessary to Host a friendly game with friends on a PC...
How do I host a game for me and a pal? I tried the "host and play" option, but it doesn't tell me anything on how to get other people playing with me.
How do I do that kind of magic? What sort of ritual do I need to do to obtain the knowledge? I have access to goats, chicken and mandragoras, so materials aren't a problem.

And it was three pages of bullshit. Each shadow orb has precisely a 50% chance of spawning a meteor. This meteor will fall on the next night. After a shadow orb has been smashed, there is a 2% chance each night of a meteor dropping.
A meteor can fail to drop, technically, but the chance is very very very small. The meteor won't drop on NPCs or on other meteors, and if it tries to land on them a hundred times or so it'll give up. This is incredibly unlikely. A meteor is also skipped if it's a multiplayer server and nobody is logged in when it's scheduled to drop.

It's all just numbers. The short answer, that probably isn't any help, is this:
Forward port 7777 from your router to your internal IP address, and then have your friend connect to your external IP in game.
If you're on Windows you can find your internal IP by opening a command prompt (win+r, cmd, enter) and type ipconfig.
Your router will have a section called NAT or Port Forwarding or something similar. You input the port you want to forward (7777) and the destination IP to forward it to (your internal IP).
Your router should have a Status or WAN page that will tell you your external IP address. You can also check at www.whatismyip.com for a fast check.
Good luck, and feel free to hit me on Steam chat if you need help.
So I managed to beat Skeletron on my third try thanks to Molten Fury. One run through the dungeon and my character is now partially merged with infinity.

To summon the Eye of Cthulu, combine items from his smaller counterparts at a demon altar. He can only be summoned at night.
To summon the Eater of Worlds, combine items from corrupted zones at a demon alter. He can only be summoned on corruption.
Every third shadow orb broken is a 100% Eater of Worlds.
(Keeping the summon items vague, wiki if you need exacts but it's more fun figuring stuff out on your own)
I have an elevator to hell right beside my spawn point home. Whenever I'm sitting there for a few minutes organizing my inventory, no less than 5 bunnies walk off and fall to their death. It's worse than lemmings.

How do you guys make "elevators"? Just a completely straight shaft down into a pool of water or something?
Ok so I'm in mostly Iron armor, with the Silver helm. Have those speed boost boots and the double jump cloud jar thingy. Should I be able to kill the Eye of Cthulhu at this point? I've dug down to the lava layers and can't do much except not mine obsidian and get shot by imps. I'm having terrible luck finding gold.
And the corruption is still kicking my ass. I haven't tried the Jungle area yet though. So I'm guessing I need to kill the eye a few times to start crafting some better stuff.
Or I'm totally wrong and killing the eye will do nothing for me!
Also, is the best way to find floating islands through use of a depth meter?

You need shurikens and potions to kill Eye. Try to buff your armour if you can but a good strat is to make a ridiculously long highway above your home so you can run back and forth and shoot at him.
