I just got this game. Heard it was fun, and for $2.49 I don't have much to lose. Played it for 20 minutes so far, have no idea what I'm doing. And what the hell does parallax do?
Parallax has to do with how the background moves. If you have it set to a mid to high setting when you are underground you can see the background move with relation to the foreground, its a neat effect so I recommend to turn it up to about 50 or more.
As far as the workbench, forge, anvile, or table with chair and bottle: Once these fixtures are made and placed where ever you want them to use them stand near them. Then when you open your inventory you will see new crafting choices based on what material you have available in your inventory.
For example lets say you have a stack of 25 wood and some slime gel. If you open your inv anywhere without the above mentioned fixtures you can make a few items like torches and wood planks, and a work bench. If you make the bench and place it down you now have more options. You will be able to make doors ,wooden weapons, a table, chair, and wood walls. If you dont have enough material for a certain recipe it will not show up. However, you can now as of patch 1.5 talk to the guide and give him an item, he will then tell you what you can make with it, and what it takes.
I also think it will be useful to go over walls breifly as the wording can be a little confusing. You build structures with either blocks/ unmodified wood/ or bricks that you can make from the forge. Walls are what you use to put up backgrounds. So if you make a bunch of wood walls you do not use them to make a structure, use just the wood for that. What placing background walls is a finishing step to buildings, it will stop monster spawning in the building. You can not place walls on the dirt background, only on the sky and then rock background underground. To place a wall over dirt you must first remove the dirt wall using a hammer. However you must start at the edges and work your way down.
Hopefully that helps, I have had a fun time with the game and a little knowledge on how to start will should help engender that in all the new players.
, I read somewhere I shouldn't make it right next to the spawn, but around how far away should it be?
Reason some people say to not build at the center is because there is a random goblin "train" that will storm over land and they all gravitate to the center of the map.
I have yet to see it but thats what I read on the wiki.

Is there an [H] Terraria server still?
You do realize the game keeps 1 to 1 pixel mapping when you increase the resolution? If he allowed that high of a resolution it would break many parts of the game. For example the grid tiles only load when they are a certain distance from the player and the distance that enemies spawn in is based on your view only being a certain size. Honestly I'm surprised the game even supports 1080p because of such an advantage it gives over lower resolutions (you can see enemies and ore veins much farther away than people at lower res). Some people even purposely lower their resolution because the higher res makes the game too easy and feel less confined.

That was DICE's logic when they didn't initially support widescreen resolutions in Battlefield 2. I understand the thought process that led to the decision, but I disagree that the only way to address the issue is limit supported resolutions.
How did he manage to change the server's game type to hard mode? Some kind of cheat? I haven't played MP in a long long time.
This starbound game looks much more interesting then terraria ever was, Im ok with the devs shifting over to it.
