Where do I find Black Pirahna?

[Tensdale]

I've dug down to the underground lake now. I Can't really jump in, because I dont have a way to get back up.

So is the black piranhna down there? And if it is, how the hell do I get back up? I have the MK 3 upgrade

The black piranhna is down there and to get up you need to make a small tower to jump back up from it. You could optionally find a way to power a teleporter.

Instead of a tower, I'd just build a "ladder" hanging down from the top. More convienient as you can place that whereever your mineshaft is (if you built one anyway).

Since there is a constant waterfall ( atleast in my world ) on the chasm, i built alot of platforms to direct the water to the hydroelectric generator. In wich i powered a teleporter, and make sure you got some way to shoot yourself up into the mountains floating above it.

Yeah, that's what I do. I make a tower instead of the other ways so when I get later in the game I can use that as one of my generator dam walls.

The black piranhas (if I remember correctly which thing is which) can also spawn in the puddles/pools at the bottom area of the rocky caves, no need to jump down to the lake. Just, the spawn mechanics are such that sometimes it may a bit difficult to get them. For example, I used to run back and forth left-right to get new spawn chances and new fishies, while farming for the drops. Then again, it is often easier to just go down to the lake, where they are literally everywhere.

I like to enter the lake initially at the right side (i.e. left side of the volcano), building miniplatforms on the volcano "wall" all the way down to water level, having no strength issues of tall structures, and no chance of mobs breaking it. Thus, I am never without a working path up, although for a while there is quite a long run back to working teleporter before night falls (edit: because I'm lazy or low on materials and don't setup another teleporter near the volcano), but at least I learned to make 4 high tunnels so that I can do shotgun-assisted jump-running (works wonders).

I use that to right-side path to farm the initial things, and soon after to work the "tower" below my main vertical jump/fall-shaft (and then using that tower to setup wiring for powering teleporter down at the lake).
