Solar eclipse every day
I have no clue why but i have a map where i am making a nice homebase and where i store pretty much everything. But for some reason i get a Solar eclipse every day.

I don't know if somebody else ever got 12 of those in a row but it sucks as hell. I just want to build something since i already have everything and this event just doesn't give anything. Isn't there someway to cancel or stop a solar eclipse?

That's RNG for ya.

If you have a Tshock server, I believe there's a command in the basic version (i.e. you don't need a plugin) that can cancel solar eclipses. If not, then you can open a vanilla server and use /dusk or /midnight to set the time to night, which will naturally cancel any current solar eclipses.

Heh I wish i would get a few days of them. I don't think I have yet to see any in my single player worlds. Only ones I been in were online with a friend.

That seems pretty extreme though, sure you didn't edit anything and this happened on accident ?

Nice probability though: 0,00000000000000001678% chance.

I got flinched 13 times in a row by a Jirachi while playing Pokemon Showdown... I still won https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-203749104 Turn 43
Not as rare as 12 Solar Eclipses though.

Well, at least you have them. Then I needed them, not a single one spawned for a period of 2 weeks i was waiting for them. (about 4-5 hrs a day of playtime, and yes, all mechanical bosses was dead) :terraria:

Wow, thats odd. This has happened to me once, but not as much as you... I had it happened 4 times in a row. I guess you could just say you got really lucky! Thats the best I got.

Lucky? Man im getting tired of all my npcs getting killed and having to put them back in the right houses.

Event is long, boring and not rewarding. It is also really easy because you can just stand on some platforms 6-7 off the ground and you will only be hit by that random eyezor. Im thinking of creating an afk farm for it...
Have simmilar problem but the worst is that I still have very weak EQ. Last time I died around 20 times 'cause tried to make a fcking arena to fight bosses...

My expert world is plagued by solar eclipses as well, but I can't just wait them out because of of mothrons. While building my last thing I think I had about 3 solar eclipses in a row. However I still haven't gotten monster banner for nailhead, eyezor and mothron. I have like 4-6 of the others though.

Yeah, i getcha. Me. minding my own business, to just explore, mine, build this and that, farm for certain items, bam, all of a sudden solar eclipse, and not to even make it worse, blood moon right after, then another solar eclipse, and it kept going on until i've gathered broken hero swords like 10 times D: ~ i'm like stoppp, thought i broke the game.
Yeah, I have this problem too now. Its the third solar eclipse in a row. Only a few NPCS are still alive. Its good to earn money, but it sucks...

solar eclipses are so annoying, it makes it pretty much impossible to build anything and it lasts all day, they should make them 0 chance of randomly happening post-golem now that we have a summon item for them.

Anyone wanna play my game crashed and deleted characters but this is my new pc so i want to start a new expert world. And an AFK farm is a good idea

It might just be luck, but I haven't had a solar eclipse start if I am below ground. It only happens when a new day dawns and I'm on the surface.

Every Single day in my game world I get a Solar eclipse, Normal sunny days are as rare as Bloodmoons, Makes me rage so hard
