well, you're committing a shifting burden of proof fallacy, that means, if you make a statement (luiafk is for noobs) you should prove me why this statement is true, not the inverse.

I consider one of the Terraria mods, called the "Luiafk" to be "for noobs". I will now run down each section and analyze it from my point of view (to save up time i'll mention only things that are wrong im my eyes, everything i don't mention is a-ok with me)
1. Unlimited Potions: You should work your way through obtaining various potions and not have a unlimited supply of potions like that.
2. Infinite Ammo/Potions: While regular arrows alone can be used inf. through the Endless Quiver this is not the case for special arrows such as: Luminite Arrows/Bullets and some hard to get post ML ammo (if playing on Calamity). They will run out soon and that would be annoying, and you have to grind. While infinite arrows may be saving time it feels like cheating the way the game is supposed to be played.
3. Combo Rod: This is one of the items that makes the mod be disliked in my eyes. Unlimited wires. Unlimited Water/Sponge.
4. Unlimited Auto-Build: This is in my opinion the worst thing about the mod. Auto Hellevator, Asphalt, Jungle Solutions. Basically, everything mentioned in the mod info is bad imo.
5. Travelling Merchant and Skeleton Merchant are Town NPCs: Cheap trick. No grinding involved.
6. Mobile Merchant: Cheap trick for unlimited ropes when needed.
7. Unlimited Events: Skips the whole grinding part of enabling the Events yourself. Can summon the Frost Moon/Pumpking Moon at the start of the game.
8. Unlimited/Random Items: Everything mentioned in the mod info is wrong in my eyes.
Conclusion: While some of the things this mod does are useful, it takes away the fun part of the game. The fun part of collecting ores, grinding powerful weapons for minutes, sometimes even hours and watch the bosses meltdown and you think to yourself: "Man, this was really worth the time." It also takes away the time to make some of the things in game like fishing pools. When you do it manually this pays off more than when you do it through Luiafk. And that's why i think that "Luiafk" is "for noobs".

Luiafk is considered "Cheat-Like" in the Mod Helpers categories.
I only use it when i have a ton of other mods for difficulty.

K, now i agree with you.

Mainly, the mod seems to reduce grinding and building time which is nice for people who don't have infinite time to burn on the game. If you are replaying vanilla terraria or a mod as a certain class for fun and don't want to spend all your time placing a ton of blocks for a generic arena or grinding for some random ingredients to a potion, then this mod is helpful. Of course, the infinite mana thing is broken.

[Ninshu]

it definitly takes away huge parts of the game.

[Pixelated]

is it bad I never have heard of this mod.

imo it's a mod that you shouldn't have on for your first playthrough.
it does have some redeeming qualities tho, the inf ammo part you have to make 4 stacks of the ammo type to get
the auto fishing needs a lot of cobwebs to make since you need 7 "fishing nets" which take 25 silk each, aka you need 1225 cobwebs to make a single fish harvester
the "infinite event summons" need 10 of the original summon to make
the infinite potions need 30 of whatever potion you're making

so it doesn't really take all the grinding out, it's kinda just a quality of life mod

Lmao your only reason why you dislike the mod is because it removes the grind for the game. My guy, who gives a ♥♥♥♥ about the grind other than you tryhard degenerates having nothing to do in their pointless lifes in the internet other than trying to sound like a chad because they grind and waste their time.

lmao you respond to a discussion that was made in the previous year's summer


i don't like grinding too, but if I farm something for a long time and then use the items I got during the farming and am successful it means that the long period was worth

besides, isn't the game about grinding powerful stuff? Even large terraria mods have some farm factor in it, take for instance Calamity and Kelvin Cataclyst or Apotheosis. They require you to beat their respective bosses (Cryogen and DoG) several times over and over again, which is a tiresome and lengthy process, especially if you're playing on Revengance, Death Mode or Hardcore. But when you get the weapons they absolutely obliterate everything.
Or when you fish for abyssal accessories to craft the Diving Suit, surely yeah it took a hella long time, but you can finally traverse the Abyss without much trouble

and looking at your steam profile rn it doesn't look like you have a life either so why judge me about wasting "my pointless life" that is certainly not pointless, cuz I have my goals set for the future


and no i do not see myself as a chad by doing something over and over again and im not trying to convey that not true statement to other people by saying "taking away grinding in video games is bad", im just saying that we shouldn't take away something one of the game's traits just because it wastes time

I haven't used anything in the mod, except for the infinite potions, the mod was mostly used by my friend, and even he admits that some of the things in the mod are just straight up unbalanced, (and he told me to not craft the infinite potions in the next playthrough). He still uses some of the features, like the instant npc jail. Now that I think about it, i think that a good idea would be to have the npc jail builder consume a number of block that the jail is made of (like idk, 50 or 70), don't get me wrong I hate building "living pods" too, but you could just build them straight away from the start (correct me if I'm wrong)

[Vincentanio]

personally i agree, so instead I have some things whitelisted that I find fair
