Way to quickly remove lots of grass?

[Dowlphwin]

Is there a quick and convenient way to remove grass from a large number of blocks? Because it only makes sense when it's convenient, letting lava flow across it doesn't count. But is there a better way than to one-click each block with a pickaxe?
I guess it would be cool if the flamethrower set everything ablaze and burned grass off, but I assume the game mechanics are not THAT detailed.

Ok so take a long line of grass. Go to one end and shoot once. All the grass is gone. Now try it with a pickaxe. See the difference?

yes, the difference is that no grass blocks will be gone.
the space gun cant damage blocks, try to get that into your thick head.

Try placing dirt blocks on top of the grass blocks? The grass on grass blocks is destroyed if a block is placed on top of it.

The most useful and fun way to interact with grass currently is the sickle. Its a special halloween tool sold by merchant. It doesnt only remove grass quickly, but also produces hay to craft walls and such !


happy halloween ^_^

It is mindboggling how much certain people resist understanding and choose ignorance against openly presented information and how unaware they are (with much play time nonetheless) of the very basics of the game.
I shouldn't be surprised though. Naturally people tend to judge others based on their own mind, and a desire to feel like the smartest guy around makes them unable to assume they might not be.

You're trolling. Seriously, you asked how to remove grass faster than a pick. You don't realize that nearly every weapon that you can use can break grass. I don't think you have even tried to remove grass with the space gun. Flamethrower does break grass blocks. It doesn't burn the grass but it removes it. Space Gun is obviously better than breaking each grass one by one with a pick. Do you think with all the hours I've played that I've been removing grass with a pickaxe one by one? It seems that this post is a joke.

Maybe they have some glitch where they can't break the grass. Idk.

are you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ retarded or what?
this is grass.[terraria.gamepedia.com]
you can hit it with anything you want, IT WONT BREAK. unless you use a pickaxe or a bomb, you cannot break grass with attacks.
its like you never played terraria.

sebastian either your #1 a troll #2 or too stupid to understand simple text.
The thread was never about BLOCKS it was about grass. See the difference ? No blocks are not grass and grass are not blocks. Grass grows ON blocks.
Jeez some people ....

Besides if he wanted to remove grass growing on blocks why doesnt he just put non growing blocks on dirt ? Its really that simple ...
Grass cant grow on stone blocks so you can put them on top of dirt blocks :P
I dont get whats so complicated to turn a grown block into a normal dirt block. And where is the benefit ? Grass is very beneficial so normally you want that grass grows. It got bait and materials and occasionally pumpkins or mushrooms etc. All useful for alchemists.


@ op if you really talked about transforming grown blocks back into simple dirt blocks your really bad at explaining. Removing grass usually includes just cutting it. If you wanted to remove a grown block then you should just remove the entire block. And that means remove dirt blocks and not just grass. Since dirt blocks will regrow grass the next time when other plants are nearby, so that request seems pointless.

everyone knows that you can break weeds with any weapon.
so OP is obviously referring to what the wiki simply calls "grass".
he also says "one-click each block", which is the way to remove grass (block) and turn it into dirt.
so, no, you are the idiot.

[Retrolicious]

@ endymion obviously here is an misunderstanding

Since the op seems to be bad at english and not good at explaining. There are two types of grass so to speak. The actual plant which got random different forms and can be removed buy any weapon and the "plague" which turns simple dirt blocks into blocks which are grown on. But thats not named grass. Grass is the plant and not the block . So op should change his post altogether and just say how to cure DIRT BLOCKS from any form of growth.
Op dont mention grass since thats not what your referring to. Grass is the plant and not the changed block. Maybe there should be a different name for dirt blocks which are "plagued" by growth. And only cause that the wiki calls the turned dirt blocks to growth blocks grass doesnt make the matter any better. Thats just a misinterpretation....

There are no grass blocks.

I beg to differ. I linked you to the wiki page of it already.

Początkowo opublikowane przez Endymion:

There are dirt and mud blocks that grass grows on

and when stuff grows on them, the block IDs change. this can be easily observed with Tedit for example.
if the block IDs change, you have another block. so yes, there is something called grass and yes, it is a block.

Początkowo opublikowane przez Endymion:

and you don't need to remove those to remove the grass.

no, you need to hit it once to turn the block from grass to dirt.

Początkowo opublikowane przez Endymion:

Yep. I thought so. Just use a Space Gun.

I did. the weeds on top of the grass block broke, but the block did not turn into dirt as you said it would.

Początkowo opublikowane przez Endymion:

The Space Gun hits blocks without removing them. This is the equivalent of one hit with a pickaxe. You can fire it multiple times and it can cover multiple blocks within a very short amount of time without the character having to move. It's the best solution. I don't know why either of you are refuting that at this point.

ok, its settled. you are trolling.
nobody can be this dumb.
gonna stop feeding the troll now. bye.
