Decided I would try going in depth on a topic that's a bit more basic. Depending on the reception to this video, I may make it into a series.

Holy hell, 57 whole minutes of pure expert's knowledge. Sorbet's guides are treasure.
20:53
i was expecting you to say "this strategy also works in minecraft"
which isn't wrong, but it's so irrelevant that it's hilarious
same lol
it's weird that it does though
1:04 I regularly rush the Ancient Chisel and I never knew this. I'll make use of this in future playthroughs, thanks!
Bit of a random reply, but thank you for introducing me to crosscode, it's one of my all time favourite games and I probably wouldn't have ever found it if it weren't for you.
exactly the same for me, ancien chisel is one of the first accessories I try to get yet I somehow never knew that, will help a lot in the future
@@mustachioisbaeagree
I'm playing starlight river right now and have found like three conch shells but no other desert loot and I'm beginning to wonder if it's the mod or the seed 😂 I just want my chisel!
Didn't expect a 57 min video when you said you're making a mining guide, gonna watch the whole thing
it was originally like 30 minutes but I didn’t like that version
do moar guides i beseech thee@@sorbetcafe
Another thing to add about herb farming: you actually can still get the staff/axe of regrowth's effect when using planter boxes, you just need actuators. As long as you are holding the staff/axe when flipping the lever (or other activation mechanism) to actuate the boxes, seeds will drop even if the herbs are not blooming. Just like when using blocks, you still need to wait until the herbs are fully grown, so only flip the lever when a majority of your herbs are ready for harvest.
It baffles me that I can’t sit through like 30 minutes worth of instructional content for school, but I’ll gladly watch and take notes on mining in Terraria for a whole hour
huge difference when you have to do something and when you want to do something.
@@Deceit-hx7ey I think you just described why unschooling-type homeschooling can work.
It is because schools suck at teaching things we want to learn
The thunder zapper is actually pretty decent. It out-DPS-es the diamond staff in a lot of situations.
I absolutely adore that there are people nerdy and dedicated enough about video games to make such long and in-depth videos about this type of thing. Reminds me of Voduke's "Ranking every Kingdom Rush hero from worst to best" in that regard. It's a rather slim chance you'll recognize that though, haha.
I do!
I know what kingdom rush is and now I need this video thank you internet friend for showing me that this exists
@@novinovi- I did not expect that, you're very welcome.
one thing about sand traps. if you're too stubborn to recall and you can't tank the sand, break the sand from the top down and you wont take damage from extra sand.
thanks for highlighting the importance of the underground desert. i always thought the underground desert experience was overtuned, but now i can see how it's useful ^^
Huh...this randomly appeared in my recommended, and it actually taught me that drills are borked.
I knew I wasn't crazy preferring picks over drills, even if my friends say otherwise. Nice vid~ 👌
"but you don't understand, casually no one gets mining gear or reforges" - svings probably
7:40 another reason to pick crimson
15:30 maybe you mention it later, but you can also use the housing '' ? '' and spam that in a dessert. This will give a message in chat for when you hit a cave or a pyramid because it will say '' this room needs a light source '' or something. very usefull for finding pyramids....
Real ones knew this was gonna be an hour long
Can't wait to spend 1 hour watching this
I wouldn't say that exquisitely stuffed should be completely out of the question when discussing mining buffs. You can get a basically unlimited supply of it by abusing pigronatas and the bacon that drops from them.
i cant believe i'm still learning more about the game after 1000+ hours. Great guide. 👍
this guide is so good what the hell
13:45
It's worth noting that you can do this for every other plant in the game. Doesn't matter if it's blooming, as long as it's mature you can hit it with the rod and get seeds back.
you can, yeah, it's just only really useful for deathweed and blinkroot since other herbs bloom consistently
@@sorbetcafe Definitely also good for shiverthorn and definitely worth mentioning in the video. But that's kind of nitpicky.
I've played this game years and there is a lot of information I had no idea about in here. Fantastic job with your thorough explanation and attention to details!
these tutorials are a godsend, so well made and just an hour of non stop information. was definitely worth the watch
Best. Guide. Ever. Gonna be sending this to all my friends!
Thanks for doing this great explanation videos.
Please explain fishing next.
Now that one will be like 2 hrs long frr
The funnier part about drills is that they are even more bugged or exploitable than just that. Mining buffs apply to drills if you use block replacement with it, unpractical but has niche uses in speedruns as we do craft drills for hardmode ores. Also on top of that from how I understand it because drills have a super low use time unlike pickaxes if you spam click (I'm talking +10cps) you can make them mine faster than normal. If you want to see an example go to Afroman's recent ML WR and around the 25m mark he does it to get some mythril ore. Does any of this matter in a non-speedrun context, no it doesn't. But it's funny to know!
yeah, I had played around with the blockswapping platforms thing, it was just so incredibly niche that I didn’t feel like it made the cut. It gets bottlenecked by placement speed, so it’s pretty much only applicable for things you don’t break in one hit.
Your videos are so well made! Even though I'm a veteran of Terraria, I still find myself watching your videos all the way through. Keep it up!
"There's no way I'm watching a 57 minute video on mining"
Already halfway done
How did i watch 57 minutes of pure knowledge about Mining and Had fun while doing so. Love your vids
Hype hype, Sorbet cafe mining guide. Your videos are always very badass, excited to watch!!
This was amazing! I have no doubt you made a big research to make this video, but it was really worth it!
24:18 for hellstone mining, there is a pretty effective way to mine for it when you are lazy and don't have obsidian skin potions - just go around the walls of fortresses and mine for veins of hellstone that generate near them.
just as I was about to start mining on a new playthrough this video comes out, thank you sorbet
If I ever need iron, I usually just shimmer anvils that you can buy from the merchant. Really useful if you're making a giant railway
Comprehensive is right! This is an awesome guide. always happy to see a new sorbet cafe video
Even as a veteran i still found this very interesting. I was captivated to watch almost like a documentary!
This is an extremely useful guide. Very well thorough, and incredibly helpful for me! ^_^
I knew so much more than I thought, barely learned anything. Still great to get my knowlege confirmed. Great debth, great explenation, great vid.
It's always a GREAT day when sorbet cafe uploads a long video on a terraria topic! Absolutely love your content
this was a really good video, i listened to it while playing
Great vid thnx bro!
I love comprehending swing tool at block=block break via a video format guide
This is legitimately the most well done Terraria video i’ve ever watched
New to the game, and it's amazing how much is in this game for how small it is. Hyped to play with my buddies and show off some of this learned knowledge.
49:39 you can also break the sand from the top which makes it so that no sand falls on you and all the damage you take is the suffocation damage
Damn. I was expecting some unnecessary, kind of... "Hypixel-Skyblock-Esque" sorta thing, just outlining a basic progression without much help.
This is awesome and gonna be transformative for the community
Scugs are much appreciated!
this was enjoyable
one thing I would like to mention for the desert is that you can do the same edge of the screen trick (or edging if you want to be fancy) as you do with the metal detector but for the bast statues, the buff distance is (i think) the same as the metal detector range and it allows you to find cabins easily without needing either the detector or spelunker potion (note that not every cabin has a bast statue)
A hour long video on mining with hidden Easter eggs. Pog chanp
This is what youtube is for. I love it!
for 24:20 that is an incredible information to know, i did not know that the random corruption and hallow spread were removed, so i have been under that assumption for a while and since finding that out i had mostly been fishing for my hard mode ores as i was really not a fan of that mechanic 😅
man when this guy says comprehensive he means it
okay it wasn't mentioned in the video, but Bone Torches also create larger light particles upon breaking than any other torch does, making it useful for a quick and easy way to see what's beneath you when mining underground (plus they're useful in general to have as they do not negatively affect torch luck, which is especially useful in biomes that have their own torch as regular torches will negate possible luck increases from biome torches but NOT from torch luck itself, which used to be the case when torch luck was first introduced)
I love ur voice omg. nice video too
Never thought i would find scugs in a terraria mining video!
57 minutes of pure gold.
Woo! Another top tier terraria guide
verry educational
32:25 hardmode underground desert contains one item I always farm for in my playthroughs - Ancient Horn that summons a rideable basilisk. I love this thing, it gives you the speed better than hermes boots, and very good turning control, something that the Unicorn mount can't provide. If I use the basilisk, I don't need a slot for hermes boots, therefore I can get more damage or defense. I can't stress enough how amazing the basilisk mount is.
I think a lot of people prefer getting the wolf mount in 1.4.4, the two have similar functions
one thing i would like to mention is that you can do a trick similar to the metal detector trick but with bast statues in the desert, if you see that you have the bast defense buff that means theres a cabin nearby and you can find it with the edge trick
Speaking on the topic of traps, there's also a presure plate track which can randomly spawn on the abandonded track. Though they are very rare and are caused by generation overlap of trap and track, so i assume not many people encountered them in the first place
As someone who's "OCD" about controlling where the water, honey and lava go in my world, the lava trap is actually the most terrifying one for me, lol.
Very good
56:55 omg, best quote of the whole video xD
damn that was comprehensive
i love for the worthy, makes everything thats tedious go so quickly while not allowing you to rush through bosses like in expert, just the premier terraria experience. Also the shovel is good for mining jungle farm for bulbs and fruit, at any speed instantly so if you didnt like it now you can (ftw exclusive benefit)
Underground Desert in hardmode also has the Ancient Horn which I would also consider highly worthwhile, especially since it's helpful for all classes as opposed to the lamp.
On that note the biome isn't really THAT bad if it isn't corrupted; it just becomes miserable when the desert spirits are involved. Otherwise the enemies are manageable, if a little punishing.
31:20 Hey, Storm Spear in particular is a very good weapon.
The underground enchanted sword spawn is crazy. I have hundreds of hours in Terraria and have never seen one spawn like that.
Something strange about lava traps I only recently discovered is that they can spawn in the dungeon. I had 2 spawn in a recent world, and they seem like more of a hazard than spawning in caverns because navigation in the dungeon is a lot more limited, at least early in the game.
25:15 why did you put the specter mask where the titanium helmet should go? Great vid btw.
Thanks, now i can get my first and only tin ingot in 5 minutes of playtime instead of 10!
i appreciate the slugcats
Fun fact hardmode ore generation is a perfect example of a harmonic series
I'm not entirely sure I agree with the premise that the ice biome isn't worthwhile in hardmode. It has a fair few pretty damn decent weapons and a _really_ good accessory.
The Spectre pickaxe is actually quite nice for builders admittedly, the slow speed means you can fine-tune things without blasting apart your build, and the added range is nice. Plus it's not quite as late in the game as the laser drill. I try and play around with building all throughout the duration of my playthroughs, so it's a bit of a breath of fresh air for some free extra range without getting into total endgame.
the only boss between the spectre pickaxe being available and the laser drill being available is golem. Sure, it's a bit easier to obtain than the laser drill, but it's really quite underwhelming
You're pre comment notification is telling. Love the vid anyway, being good is a choice.
what does that even mean
50:55 you cant place blocks in lava, yes, but when its flowing like that you can still place blocks in it, ive often closed them even while some of the lava poured out
You can easily get fish to craft major food buffs by shimmering recall potions, which you get loads. I find it faster and better than planting pumpkins. Just get to the shimmer ASAP, it's incredibly useful earlygame if you take full advantage of it.
unfortunately seafood dinners were nerfed in 1.4.4 to provide medium food buffs instead of major. You can do that instead of pumpkins, but they'll be equal to pumpkins, not better
nice
I love the hidden mice
when detailing the hardmode ore armour sets you had the spectre mask placed on the mannequin meant to display titanium armour, this was either you going by eye in the menus or you did it on purpose, anyway have a comment, great video, learned a lot
Guys if you're struggling to get major food buffs try buying pignatas from the party girl(only sold during parties) by using a discount card and having her in the hallow with the wizard you can actually profit by selling the other two items, they drop bacon at a low chance but you can get them for basically free it just takes a while to break all the pigs, hope this helped!
25:21 Why is there a spectre mask on the titanium set?
Rock and stone, brother!
The speed of information speed is insane, way to high for my tiny brain. but still thank you for this guide.
Great video! Just one small question, do chainsaws/jackhammers suffer from the same coding issue as the drills?
I'm not sure
@@sorbetcafe I have an update! I did a simple test where I cut down 10 trees in my tree farm with a Light Axe of Regrowth vs a Sawtooth Shark. If the chainsaws had the same issue as drills, then these two would have equivalent speeds. However, it took ~4.923 seconds for the axe and ~4.158 seconds for the chainsaw.
For the test I used smart cursor and I was always in range of the next tree due to the density of my tree farm. This wasn't super precise or frame by frame, but I did measure the times in recording software and the difference is big enough for me to conclude that the issue doesn't affect chainsaws.
Quick Tree Math:
Axe of Regrowth - Tool speed 12, light modifer 12 * .85 = 10.2, round down to 10. Axe power 150%, trees have 500% health, takes 4 hits. Should take 40 ticks to break.
Sawtooth Shark - Tool speed 4. Axe power 70%, trees have 500% health, takes 8 hits. If the issue does exist, it should take 40 ticks, same as the axe. If the issue doesn't exist, it should take 32 ticks.
Sorbet where is the HOOK MINE!!
not real doesn't exist
yeah where is the hook mining
Yeah where is the hook mine
You can get major food easy after party girl moves in. During a party they sell pigronattas. Once ppaced they can drop bacon for major food lasting a long time. You can grapple to a block and place them under to farm bacon. Put party girl in hollow with wizard amd use discount card for cheaper prices. The pigronatta gives money back so the more the discount the cheaper the bacon is.
ah yes, this is exactly what iI wanted
22:09 only reason i mine those in super early game is to make a clock since i play around day and night cycles a lot
I didn’t think minding could be so… interesting… I watched the whole video.
Gread video. I have been using the celebration mk.2 for so long and didn't know that i don't need to use mini nuke II. Does not take long to craft them tho for me in the late game. Thought you should have mentioned to use the permanent ammo conservation effects when using rockets. I also didn't know the stuff about only some items being in the top part of the underground desert, so important to know if you are looking for 1 of the items. I do disagree about the ice caves, imo its a terrible place to mine, the chests feel so much more rare than any other biome and the only valuable thing is the blizzard in a bottle
i prefer to call the basic ore types the nostalgic ores lol, because ive been playing so long i have nostalgia for them lmao
26:00 you cannot shimmer adamantite into titanium it turn's into Orichalcum Ore
however you can shimmer titanium into adamtite.
ps. i think titanium is the original ore and adamantite is the "newly" added varient
That would be why I said you can shimmer titanium into adamantite but not vice versa
14:18 i wonder if that's why the game ran better on the underground when I played on my old phone and pc
love how grinding in this game becomes tedious and this game turns into a game of "improve your performance"
it literally doesn't
Dang your beating terraria with a copper shortsword vid is already 3 years old, makes me feel old.
help I am being littered with actually useful terraria information
FUN FACT: The for the worthy 1/2 health blocks was a feature on the ps3 version and maybe other old gen. When i played pc version for the first time in 2017 mining was so tedious compared to old version. (edit: also you weak break grass instantly you couldnt remove it without destroying and took 1 swing total)
20:54 this strategy also works in minecraft
i remember playing on getfixedboi seed, demon eye hit me and i landed on explosive trap without taking any explosion damage xd
btw 47:34 how true is that information? there was 3 times when i've seen a chest with 4 dynamites under it, i mean yeah it may be some crazy luck when a regular explosive trap connected to a deadman's chest but idk
was it on notraps/getfixedboi? Those change trap
spawning rules
@@sorbetcafe two of them i've met on a regular seeds and one of them was on getfixedboi
Me, with Calamity Pickaxes and Ore Excavator: *Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power.*
