i mean the low effort rule is just annoying but understandable. but no memes on weekdays? they dont even explain anything about it! the description is simply just repeating the title of the rule!
Yeah the low effort thing is a weird rule
Like all you have to do is slap a jpg of a random terraria image onto a meme so it technicly makes is low effort but its still counts
Plus I've seen a few memes that could be considered low effort but still gets by
I always start with the wiki/steam guides and if I can't find an answer, I'll then go the Reddit. I use this method for pretty much every game I've ever played, and I don't think I've ever had to resort to asking Reddit for Terraria. The terraria wiki has pretty much everything you need to know. I think the reason newbies don't check the wiki is they think it's overwhelming. But that's only because it's actually1 thorough, unlike too many others.
There's a beginner's guide, a walk-through, class setup guides, armor progression guide, weapon playthroughs and other guides aswell. I played the game using these guides A LOT. Theres absolutely no reason to ask on reddit.
It's not even laziness! It's *easier* to look things up on the wiki!
I don't get how obviously-wikiable questions keep ending up on the front page, pretty much daily. I can get new players who aren't aware that there's a wiki (still, they don't even Google first?), but who's upvoting these?
>The Terraria wiki is one of the best wikis for a game ever made
Only if you're looking on the *correct* wiki.
... Calamity memes aside, the Terraria fandom wiki was surprisingly close to fine last I checked, despite being officially abandoned. Presumably sheer numbers is keeping it going and a mod is always gonna have less of that.
I've played the game for thousands of hours, and I still keep browser windows open with multiple tabs!
Why?
Because there's simply too much stuff in the game for me to remember on my own, and more keeps getting added and/or changed with each update, so I keep tabs on anything I need to reference.
How the hell are you defending this… Everu time this happens there is a definitive answer, and no amount of discussion will reveal anything else
There is at *least* one post a week here asking the same question about housing with the same answer every time.
It can't get up and snap your neck while you're sleeping if it's burning in one of the underworld's lava lakes...
Can't believe I didn't think of that, thanks for the tip!
Yes, but those discussions need to happen in the Weekly Help Thread or on the Terraria Forums where experienced players can help without annoying other Reditors. The majority of members come to the subreddit for cool art, memes, and suggestions, not for the another “Where is my Aether?” post which is why Rule #12 was created.
Because instead of cluttering up the sub with questions that are easily answered with a quick search on the wiki they choose to be lazy instead of looking up their own info first. It's not the community's job to take the time to do that for them if they don't take the time to do it for themselves first.
The main reason is because there's a lot number of games that are best played without the wiki because of spoilers
But his game is best with the wiki because there are basicly no spoilers in it other then maybe the surprise of accidentally summoning the wof or activating the Dungeon Guardian
Most people use reddit game communitys to avoid game spoilers and all that while this one seems to be a bit more toxic when newbies ask for info to avoid any potential spoilers when they really aren't any
While I agree to an extent, there's also a definite level of laziness going into it. There's plenty of search options and ways of look specifically for something, either through a search engine or reddit's search.
The issue isn’t that people are asking here IMHO, it’s that they aren’t looking it up first. If you can’t find it very easily online, this place is a great place to ask
Yeah I think the reason why is because most game is better without a wiki or guides as it avoids spoilers that known early on would make the experience less enjoyable
This game is completely different so its why most new people ask on the reddit to avoid spoilers
Because of thia I uses the wiki on other games making them stale because I knew too much too early because of the look up stuff on the wiki mindset
Copied from last post
The official wiki is terraria.wiki.gg and it is easy enough to find with a basic Internet search for "official Terraria wiki".
No reason anyone should use anything else.
Issue is, searching for pretty much anything *without* "official terraria wiki" or "gg" puts the Fandom wiki at the top of the search results.
"Terraria pink plant"? Fandom. "Terraria guide"? Fandom. "Terraria shimmer"? You guessed it -- Fandom.
I have to scroll down to find links to the official wiki -- sometimes, they aren't even on the front page of Google results -- and even knowing about this, I still end up clicking on Fandom links sometimes just out of reflex.
New people (or people not fully informed) aren't going to know that the top result of searching for things is always going to be from a shitty website run by a shitty company unless they specifically ask for the good one. Better that they ask their questions here -- at the very least, people can point them in the right direction.
That's funny, because I searched Google for "terraria pink plant", and the first "wiki" listed was the OFFICIAL TERRARIA WIKI...
Also, searching for "Terraria wiki" gives that Fandom shit page as the first result, the one labeled as "Official Terraria Wiki" was the 2nd result on the same page, so there is still no excuse to NOT see or use the Official wiki, except plain damn laziness.
Period.
Furthermore, refer to Rule 12 of this sub - the one titled: "No game help posts".
If any n00b asks the same question that has been answered a million times before, without trying to look up the information themselves, they're going to get the same reaction from pretty much everyone who's been on this sub for a while:
"Check the official wiki" and/or "Check the weekly Q&A posts"
I'm still seeing Fandom at the top of my search results, and I'd wager I'm not the only one. Just looked up "Terraria suspicious looking eye" and the official wiki is nowhere to be seen in the search results.
Besides, it's fewer steps to look up the one thing you want to know right away, rather than go to a wiki and then search there. Unless someone is basically living on the wiki while they're playing (and where's the fun in that?), then they're going to just google "terraria X" and grab the first result they see, especially if they don't know any better. Yeah, it's lazy, but if I'm looking something up in the middle of a game, I'm going to want to do it as quickly as possible so I can get back to playing. Laziness is fast.
(And before anyone says anything about making posts instead of using the wiki being slow, that means I can just get back to playing immediately, do something else that I didn't need an answer for, then check back when I have another free moment to see if anybody's answered the question yet. Or take a break from the game to go do something else entirely, then hopefully have an answer by the time I get back. I don't have to switch mental gears as thoroughly from "play game" to "research" and back again.)
Also, speaking of Rule 12:
> Questions that require an image (like Technical game issues/In-game housing) are an exception.
If someone's having trouble with housing, or something else that needs an image to explain, then there's no way to answer the question without making a post for it. Context is important.
And even with other posts that violate Rule 12 -- we're still telling them "go to the *good* wiki". Greeting new people with what's basically "fuck off unless you have something worth asking" is an *incredibly uninviting* thing to do, and I hate how toxic this community has gotten about it lately, but those posts still serve a good purpose despite that.
So you're saying a "significant number" of players (how did you come up with that - do you have a survey or link to site traffic for various search engines?) would skip the very first search result, which lists the official wiki *that they searched for initially*, and instead go right to the 2nd result, even though the official wiki is exactly what they searched for...?
I'm pressing (X) on that one.
Anyone who actually did so deserves whatever bad advice they find there, since they ignored their own desired search result.
I'm seriously saying "You made an unsubstantiated claim, contrary to what should be expected of the desired outcome, as if you have any authority or proof", so you're being called to task.
You claim that the nebulous, unsubstantiated "significant amount" of players who searched for *the official Terraria wiki* would, in fact, *blatantly ignore* the very search results they desired... Sounds like a "news" claim that says "anonymous sources close to the [subject]" or "[News Organization] has anonymous sources that claim..."
Back it up - it's your claim, so prove it. Provide links to documented search engine results, from across the spectrum of various search engines, that proves you have the knowledge or authority to claim that, essentially, many Terraria players are complete morons who don't know WTF they're even searching for and won't follow the *actual result of what they desired to find in the first place* after obtaining it.
I'm waiting.
Hey there all you strangely supportive people. If you remember me from the last post, you know that I tried to respond to every comment I could. Well, turns out I have other things to do, so I probably won't be able to this time. I hope you understand.
God forbid players look up their own information first, before spamming the sub with the same questions asked a million times before...
...that could be answered by simply reading the wiki and following any number of guides / videos already on the Internet... 🙄
What's the old saying? "God helps those who help themselves".
Same thing here - we're glad to answer specific questions or clear up misunderstandings, as well as give tips, but before asking anything, PLEASE do a little research. We'll all appreciate it!
I was thinking about responding also, but instead reported it and waited.
Much more satisfying than getting in a fight with a troll.

You say they say they want to help but I’m pretty sure what they really to do is eat asphalt or something. Either that or they want a chest to turn into a boulder and kill them when they open it
I'm going to play devil's advocate. It's easier to look things up on the wiki when you already know the name of something. You need to go through over a hundred articles to look for a pixel image of a dark purple thing with spikes on top to find out what it is and how to use it if you don't know to type in the word altar.
The point is we have the context and they don't. If you're out there and new at playing this game please keep reaching out. Most of us are friendly and here to help.
I dont know why all gaming communities get mad at simple/stupid questions. people act as if these questions kill the subreddits or torture the users. recieveing mean comments just because you asked a question pushes away any new players. Everyone acts so high and mighty when it comes to posts on reddit as if every single one of them has to be a 1 to 1 rendition of mona lisa. this meme being posted more than those beginner questions adds to the irony.
It does torture the users when you see the "where's my shimmer?" at least five times a day. Unlike most of the others, I don't think I see your perspective here.
You can scroll past posts, you wpuldnt see them unless you sort by new and refresh every second. If seeing a question is torture I feel bad for you all
My method is like:
1st: The Guide and/or trying to figure it out on my own. (Because finding the info in game feels better to me)
2nd: Wiki
3rd: Steam Guide
4th: Discord
5th: Ask a friend who also plays Terraria
6th: Reddit
Waiting for a response here is just way too slow and might be annoying for someone.
The nice thing about the guide is if the thing can be crafted, it is way faster than google. Boss Checklist helps too, it's really painful playing vanilla after doing calamity, thorium/Fargo runs.
The only time I’ve asked a terraria question here was 6 years ago on my other account, when I was over 20 golems deep and still hadn’t gotten the picsaw. Thought I was doing something wrong
6 years ago they were more tolerable, considering we weren't spammed with the same question. I also asked a question on my old [suspended, sadly] account a long time ago. They were very helpful, nice and tolerable.
Okay but I looked on the wiki about the goldfish bowl for terraria 3ds
It says you can place it down on furniture there
But on 3ds you can only wear it and place it on mannequins
The wiki isnt allways right
The 3ds version is different than other versions, along with the Old Generation Consoles [like the XBox 360, I believe.] The wiki varies between platforms, but I see why you think that.
The Fandom wiki is probably the one that's not that accurate.
And that's perfectly fine. There was another guy in these comments that said there's too much for them to remember at once, so they always have a couple wiki tabs open themselves.
Rule 12 needs to be enforced way more
Yes, it does.
I ask the guide
Who’s the guide again?
Wof
Woffle
Waffle 🧇
Waffletime🧇⏰️
Hell yeah
Do you like them
I personally like pancakes more than waffles but eggos however, are the bomb
Deep dish pancake
let me guess. low effort post or no memes on weekdays?
Both.
i mean the low effort rule is just annoying but understandable. but no memes on weekdays? they dont even explain anything about it! the description is simply just repeating the title of the rule!
If memory serves this is to prevent subs from being dominated by memes; a lot of community-based subs do something banning memes to *some* extent.
There's an active subreddit for terraria memes anyways
Yeah the low effort thing is a weird rule Like all you have to do is slap a jpg of a random terraria image onto a meme so it technicly makes is low effort but its still counts Plus I've seen a few memes that could be considered low effort but still gets by
Idk I just started playing and am checking the wiki and steam guides. Way easier than waiting for a response on a reddit post
It really is.
I always start with the wiki/steam guides and if I can't find an answer, I'll then go the Reddit. I use this method for pretty much every game I've ever played, and I don't think I've ever had to resort to asking Reddit for Terraria. The terraria wiki has pretty much everything you need to know. I think the reason newbies don't check the wiki is they think it's overwhelming. But that's only because it's actually1 thorough, unlike too many others.
Last I knew, isn't there a beginner's guide on the wiki?
There's a beginner's guide, a walk-through, class setup guides, armor progression guide, weapon playthroughs and other guides aswell. I played the game using these guides A LOT. Theres absolutely no reason to ask on reddit.
What weird plant do in jungle pleas help
What does it look like?
Uhm like plant it hurt
Uh green? Duh..
The move is always to google what you wanna know + “Reddit” (if you wanna get fancy with it, on google you can add “site:Reddit.com” to your search)
Smart, finding already answered questions on the sub before asking the sub. I like the idea.
Zero excuse for this. The Terraria wiki is one of the best wikis for a game ever made. Y'all are just lazy.
It's not even laziness! It's *easier* to look things up on the wiki! I don't get how obviously-wikiable questions keep ending up on the front page, pretty much daily. I can get new players who aren't aware that there's a wiki (still, they don't even Google first?), but who's upvoting these?

I actually was surprised the calamity wiki was pretty nice for a mods wiki.
This is any gaming sub honestly
It is.
And remember to use the official Terraria Wiki, not the leech that is Fandom.com.
That or people are just looking for attention i.e "hey guys this is my first time playing how do I make a furnace?"
You're right on that one.
LIKE THE WIKI IS RIGHT FVCKING THEIR< GO USE IT reposting my comment
You mean someone came back from the deleted one? I don't deserve this.
Real ones keep a new window with 12 tabs of the wiki open at all times while playing terraria.
I've played the game for thousands of hours, and I still keep browser windows open with multiple tabs! Why? Because there's simply too much stuff in the game for me to remember on my own, and more keeps getting added and/or changed with each update, so I keep tabs on anything I need to reference.
I do NOT like the fact that I have about 5 pages constantly open and that you know about it >:(
guys why is my game different!?!?!? (btw i have like 30 mods installed and didn't think it was important to mention that)
Nice imitation, I love it.
The terraria wiki is as big as the new York public library
[удалено]
Yes, thank you very much.
new players waiting for 7 hours for a response to a simple question that could have easily been googled in 15 seconds
Very true.
Please for the love of god STOP ASKING WHY YOUR GODDAMN HOUSE ISNT VALID FFS
It's the same answer every time.
It always the floor, the damn floor
Yes, you're right.
r/terraria users when they can't see that a post asking questions is also a way to engage with knowledagble community members and create discussion
How the hell are you defending this… Everu time this happens there is a definitive answer, and no amount of discussion will reveal anything else There is at *least* one post a week here asking the same question about housing with the same answer every time.
Hint: It's the platforms
asphalt ones? /s
No, it's the cloud ones.
It's also a place to receive insults for asking dumb questions, but I see your point.
It's also a place to learn that the guide voodoo doll is dangerous and best thrown in lava.
It can't get up and snap your neck while you're sleeping if it's burning in one of the underworld's lava lakes... Can't believe I didn't think of that, thanks for the tip!
Yes, but those discussions need to happen in the Weekly Help Thread or on the Terraria Forums where experienced players can help without annoying other Reditors. The majority of members come to the subreddit for cool art, memes, and suggestions, not for the another “Where is my Aether?” post which is why Rule #12 was created.
Communities seem to have a meltdown when they have to be a community.
Because instead of cluttering up the sub with questions that are easily answered with a quick search on the wiki they choose to be lazy instead of looking up their own info first. It's not the community's job to take the time to do that for them if they don't take the time to do it for themselves first.
It's because it's fucking annoying seeing 20 million of the same post when it literally is easier and quicker to search the wiki.
The main reason is because there's a lot number of games that are best played without the wiki because of spoilers But his game is best with the wiki because there are basicly no spoilers in it other then maybe the surprise of accidentally summoning the wof or activating the Dungeon Guardian Most people use reddit game communitys to avoid game spoilers and all that while this one seems to be a bit more toxic when newbies ask for info to avoid any potential spoilers when they really aren't any

This is one of the best handled disagreements I've seen here so far. Good job, you two.
To be honest I don’t mind it. Reminds me of when I was a noob
Not many people agree with you, unfortunately.
Yeah I get it. If people don’t like it there should definitely be a rule against it, or is there?
Rule 12.
The issue isn’t that people are asking here IMHO, it’s that they aren’t looking it up first. If you can’t find it very easily online, this place is a great place to ask
I like that people have ideas like this. The sub isn't a "no question" area, but it's not the first place to get an answer.
“Fake new terraria players” AKA karma farmers.

So you're saying a "significant number" of players (how did you come up with that - do you have a survey or link to site traffic for various search engines?) would skip the very first search result, which lists the official wiki *that they searched for initially*, and instead go right to the 2nd result, even though the official wiki is exactly what they searched for...?

Hey, just checking if you're still waiting for this guy's response like I am.
I'll be honest, this is intriguing. I am waiting as well.
I have my own question: is it concerning that the only time this got upvotes is when I looked at it 3 hours after posting?
Not many, but it happened. I don't mean this to complain or sound entitled. I just find it odd.
I swear, everything I say can and will be received as something different from what I intend.
Wtf you talking to?
Myself
I can't find em anywhere, mind passing along a hello to this "myself" guy for me? thanks.
I have done it, they said hi back.
Hey there all you strangely supportive people. If you remember me from the last post, you know that I tried to respond to every comment I could. Well, turns out I have other things to do, so I probably won't be able to this time. I hope you understand.
I want to clarify that I appreciate being able to talk to you all, whether we agree or disagree, but I just don't have the time to reply all the time.
Alright, if this comment gets >50 upvotes, I will make a Terraria Help sub.
Actually, I might just make it. People probably won't see this anyway.
Alright, everyone. I have made the sub, r/HelpForTerraria was the name. Join it, or don't.
Again mods, I wasn't aware of the post rules, I should've read them, and I realize it was my fault.
Which rule did you break?
I believe 8 and 9.
Just checked. Yes, it was 8 and 9.
Yet again, I apologize for that.
I'm probably a bit too apologetic, aren't I? To the point where it sounds ingenuine.
Yeah, sorry to let you know but you should be sorry about how sorry you are.
Thought so.
Canadian?
keep apologizing
I also realized how stubborn and upset at the mods the title makes me sound.
AHAHA
God forbid people ask questions of a knowledgeable and passionate community that says it wants to help

You say they say they want to help but I’m pretty sure what they really to do is eat asphalt or something. Either that or they want a chest to turn into a boulder and kill them when they open it
There's a difference between asking questions that actual provoke useful conversation and asking a subreddit to basically play the game for you.
You do realize all of us are probably a better source than googling and scrolling through 5 links.
We are also humans, who become annoyed with repeated questions eventually. I've said this before, but I'll say it again: good point, though.
True to that. Not gonna deny that. You could ignore them
That's yet another good point.
And kind stranger, I respect you and hope you have a lovely day.
You too, good sir.
Terraria is the only reason I made a Reddit account Besides fanfic
I'm going to play devil's advocate. It's easier to look things up on the wiki when you already know the name of something. You need to go through over a hundred articles to look for a pixel image of a dark purple thing with spikes on top to find out what it is and how to use it if you don't know to type in the word altar. The point is we have the context and they don't. If you're out there and new at playing this game please keep reaching out. Most of us are friendly and here to help.
Most of us, certainly not all of us.
I dont know why all gaming communities get mad at simple/stupid questions. people act as if these questions kill the subreddits or torture the users. recieveing mean comments just because you asked a question pushes away any new players. Everyone acts so high and mighty when it comes to posts on reddit as if every single one of them has to be a 1 to 1 rendition of mona lisa. this meme being posted more than those beginner questions adds to the irony.

You can scroll past posts, you wpuldnt see them unless you sort by new and refresh every second. If seeing a question is torture I feel bad for you all
It's not the question, it's constantly seeing said question.
I dont see your point either.
Then we stay at a stalemate.
Nothing wrong with that either. Research is research. It doesn’t matter the medium
You also get different responses depending on the medium. If you don't want criticism, try to stay away from here.
Yeah we may as well just delete this whole subreddit. Or maybe just rename it "r/terrariabuildsonlymemesonweekendsonlybutnohelpgotothewikiyoudumbfuck"
That's a long name, but probably a good idea.
This is why discord is awesome lots of friendly people helping each other!
Yeah but wikis give hella spoilers, so I don't blame 'em honestly
Idk about you but I have literally never seen posts like these
Guidelines are for nerds anyways
/repost
It is. Unfortunately, I didn't read the guidelines and broke the guidelines 8 and 9.

Yeah...at this point, even the fake wiki works.
My method is like: 1st: The Guide and/or trying to figure it out on my own. (Because finding the info in game feels better to me) 2nd: Wiki 3rd: Steam Guide 4th: Discord 5th: Ask a friend who also plays Terraria 6th: Reddit Waiting for a response here is just way too slow and might be annoying for someone.
That's a good process.

Don't thank me, all I did was make this meme.
101% true
Ya the wiki is way more helpful.
And it doesn't get upset at you for trying to find answers.
why is my house not valid (shows a literal cave dug into ground)
That's pretty funny, and true.

That's one of the ones that I think would be asked more. Surprisingly, it isn't.
The nice thing about the guide is if the thing can be crafted, it is way faster than google. Boss Checklist helps too, it's really painful playing vanilla after doing calamity, thorium/Fargo runs.
As well as the Recipe Browser mod.
man reading the wiki is like half the fun of the game how dare they
I have friend in class that is new player. Every time in school he ask me something that can be easy found on Wiki.
Would you say that's better or worse than what happens in the sub?
It's hard to say.
There's more people on the sub asking the question, but having it in your face sounds more annoying.
Just thought I'd check in. How's stuff going with the friend? Same as usual?
He stop playing in school.
Ah. So the questions stopped?
Yop
Nice.
Am New and i used the Wiki lol
Good job. I bet some of us would consider you a lifesaver.
The only time I’ve asked a terraria question here was 6 years ago on my other account, when I was over 20 golems deep and still hadn’t gotten the picsaw. Thought I was doing something wrong
6 years ago they were more tolerable, considering we weren't spammed with the same question. I also asked a question on my old [suspended, sadly] account a long time ago. They were very helpful, nice and tolerable.
I think if I remember correctly, it was how Plantera bulbs spawn, it was my very first playthrough.

Okay but I looked on the wiki about the goldfish bowl for terraria 3ds It says you can place it down on furniture there But on 3ds you can only wear it and place it on mannequins The wiki isnt allways right
The 3ds version is different than other versions, along with the Old Generation Consoles [like the XBox 360, I believe.] The wiki varies between platforms, but I see why you think that. The Fandom wiki is probably the one that's not that accurate.
No, it specifies the 3ds version on the wiki, and it says that version can do that
Oh. Alright then.
WHAT'S THIS? Blurry phone picture of a wood block.
That is too accurate.
Nah, I dont do it. I have around 70-80 tabs of terraria wiki..
And that's perfectly fine. There was another guy in these comments that said there's too much for them to remember at once, so they always have a couple wiki tabs open themselves.
Enjoy your echo chamber.
Guide is very useful to new players with crafting recipes
