    Another pretty cool mechanic i use a lot:
    Furniture items (tables, gravestones, chairs, sunflowers) break when you break the block below them, this is particularly useful for gravestones as they take a while to mine normally.

    Drills need something that make them useful in a diferent way than pickaxes. Imagine if they dig a bit slower but they allow you to do it like the shovel.

    • @Goat_gamering
      @Goat_gamering 7 месяцев назад

      Digging like a pickaxe in a larger area has almost always been a place for a hammer. Which already has a different purpose.
      Now, if you could stack drills, on the other hand.

    • @kellamyoshikage286
      @kellamyoshikage286 7 месяцев назад +2

      Well, off the top of my head, maximum house interior size is 750, so you can make a 27x27 interior house (or 29x29 frame) with 729 background walls for NPCs to latch onto and 183 blocks for walls, 112 perimeter, which comes out as 57 blocks with all platforms except the 1 standing tile, then an extra 10 blocks for the table and chair for a total of 250 blocks. This gives 2.92 efficiency of scannable walls per block used in housing. That being said, this is just an isolated house; if you create a grid of these houses, perimeter costs per house approach half that of an isolated house, due to shared borders. In this case, you get an efficiency of 3.28 walls per block used.
      Compare this to my standard 8x4 interior solid boundary workbench 2 door house, which gets 32 back walls and costs 56 blocks to make in isolation, giving 0.57 wall per block efficiency.

    I wonder why they chose to make drills not affected by mining speed bonuses, feels weird that this combined with the lower range (and annoying sound) makes them basically an objective downgrade from pickaxes

    • @Terraw
      @Terraw  7 месяцев назад +49

      Drills have a higher base speed so without mining buffs, they mine way faster than pickaxes. It’s just that the way mining speed works, a little mining speed is enough to push pickaxes over the edge and beat drills

    • @Oler-yx7xj
      @Oler-yx7xj 7 месяцев назад +7

      In 1.2, the only mining bonuses, IIRC, were the potion and the miner armor, so pickaxes were not as easy to make better than the drills, I guess

    • @darkdragonpl9229
      @darkdragonpl9229 7 месяцев назад +11

      Drills are for people who don't want to put more effort into mining than simply making the tool. If you're going to use ancient chisel, cake, mining potions etc then go for pickaxes and if you don't want to do all that then drills are better because they're fast without the need of buffs.

    • @VeryPeeved
      @VeryPeeved 7 месяцев назад +6

      Because mining speed bonuses Are based around increasing how fast you're swinging your pickaxe, but it doesn't matter how fast you swing a drill, it'll still mine at the same rate.

    I've brought the Nurse into the Jungle Temple with the knowledge on how to build houses without worrying about background walls - works quite fine. Although it's arguably easier to just build the golem arena just outside the temple instead, more convenient space and all that

    Since town slimes/pets count towards the 2 NPCS needed to fulfill the pylon requirement, I believe you could actually buy the pylon, then move the NPC you bought it from out and move a second slime/pet in, and it would still work. iirc I did that when I was trying to get all my NPCs in one place to try and make them kill bosses - might as well use the ones who can't attack for something

    I don't feel like number 2 is too useful but generally a great video. I did notice that if you have a house with a lot walls the npcs will appear faster, that's why I build "npc farm" which is basically 3 houses with a lot of walls and then settle npcs down in 4-0 wall houses after they spawn, but I didn't know the mechanics behind it because I haven't found any documentation on this

      In prehardmode just use gem hooks in hardmode use dual hook and then it basically doesn't matter as you have a lot of better mobility options. Anything that allows you to grapple on 2 or more hooks at once is basically trash unless you don't have any better option(like if you found spider hook or beat the shit out of king slime before you got enough gems)

    dogs, cats, and town bunnies (pet license), also count for pylons. additionally pylons can be operated by just town slimes and town pets. and, last thing, npcs do not need to be happy to operate a pylon. happiness only matters when buying a pylon.
