Events so common its annoying

[izgule]

Between slime rains, blood moons, invasions ect I hardly have time to build, its very annoying, I can go days and days with no interruption to constant harassment by the game.

Can i stop events at all? Its not hard, but its also not fun, I hate it.

Use spawn reducing items and/or potions. It will not stop the events though.

Also in Journey mode you can stop your in-game time. This will stop any events from occuring completely. But you can not convert normal world and normal player to thier journey modes without using 3rd party tools. I advise you to start a new playthrough (world and player) using Journey mode.

I agree , just play journey mode ,freeze time of day is super useful, turn off spawns and build to your hearts content , if you gather enough materials you can research them which basically lets you craft an infinite amount.

Typically you need to find 100 of the items before you can duplicate and by that point it's usually more than you will ever need for things like metal bars so duplicating doesn't change much.

Don't get me wrong , It's cheaty but if you just use it for building materials it's fine , considering there are already world maps you can download off the workshop that have every single item in chests , having to actually find 100 items to research in journey mode is more of a challenge.

You can also turn up the difficulty and the spawns in journey mode so it is as easy or hard as you want it to be , best way to play the game IMO.

Well, Terraria is a survival game AND a sandbox. If you want a sandbox - play in Journey mode. If you want to test yourself with surviving - don't play in Journey mode. So for different goals/playstyles different modes exist.

Use spawn reducing items like peace candle, calming potion, sunflowers, angler armor, and invis potion. Altogether, you can reduce enemy spawn rate by about 75%. Also use summons. A good summon can auto kill any enemy that approaches.

About half the point of the game is gearing up and being ready for all the crap that will attack you at random - so I think the devs went out of the way to make sure none of it was optional normally. Part of the fun with building is also finding ways to mitigate the harmful effects of these events in the longer term.

Nonetheless there is nothing wrong with playing journey mode like mentioned - and then you can set rules for yourself too. As long as you're having fun.

First time playing terraria? Got to love it.

I can relate! I just got back into Terraria recently and between having to re-learn controls and crafting stuff, the first hour was a challenge. I finally managed to build a quick home to give me some peace from mobs. When that first NPC shows up and just starts opening doors and letting mobs in, I was ready to murder that fool.

OP didn't ask for cheats, much less cheats to duplicate items. Why did you include this in your reply? It seems very out of place.

Standard creative game mode in a game of a sandbox type can not be considered a cheat.

I repeat - some want a challange. They don't play in Journey mode. This game is also a survival game. Some other just like to build. For them there is a Journey mode. This game is also a sandbox.

If you are able to see only a survival game then you have missed 50% of this game I am afraid.

Welcome to the club, the ones like the pirates aren't bad since 1 wall blocks off everything but the existence of enemies that can go through walls makes doing anything a massive annoyance

Start new game
Don't consume any hearts until you built all the houses you would like, all shafts and all the bases and railways
Collect 15 hearts and consume them all at once , when you are ready to move forward
Don't break any altars at all (you can fish the 6 hardmore ores)

Adding on to this.

I'm stuck on a pre-Labor of Love update, but to mitigate the chances of having random events thrown at you be sure to look into event-and-boss summoning items. I do the same and get much more time to relax without them randomly spawning.

No items have yet been made that can reduce the chances of events, but i think one should be made soon.
