I Finally Played Core Keeper, It's Like Terraria

[@ChippyGaming]

I've been having such a great time with Core Keeper. I plan on playing through the entire game so get subscribed to catch part 2

[@thexwhats2989]

Maybe this video will be the day I finally buy it and have it leave my wishlist

[@Mr.Mushroom.]

I've had such a blast playing the game! Figuring out bosses and different farms with friends has been so fun.

[@roodypies]

I'm definitely looking forward for more Floor Sleeper xD

[@noamangel]

Good game waiting for new Terraria updated. Playing core keeper from 1.0 much much to do

[@noamangel]

The summoning class is not great, also the mage. They need more love. Dominate is the warrior, after it archer

[@prantare]

So happy to see you play our game :) been waiting for this & love your videos. Glad you enjoyed it & can't wait to see more.

[@averymacneil3822]

it's an absolutely gorgeous game and anyone could tell immense love was put into it. I picked it up yesterday and am having a blast! (I was also not expecting the soundtrack to be as beautiful as it is)

[@juda-one]

Gorgeous game. I started it last week and it's a blast. Can't wait to dive back this weekend.

[@chaseashby8585]

I find it funny that he immediately found out that you can use the arrows on the workbench to switch between different workbenches, then immediately completely forgot and continued to keep every tier of workbench for crafting XD

[@joshualoiacono5488]

I was WONDERING if that's how it worked. I'm guessing Chippy thought you still needed to have them in the vicinity lol

@@joshualoiacono5488 unless they changed something in the update, each new workbench has the capacity of all the old ones too.

Lol, to be fair he did say he was a Terraria veteran and not a Core Kepper veteran. Even staying he hadn't played core keeper in a few years. But I am amused either way and understand the playful jab of your comment.

I think he's referring to the fact that the glow tulip is in terraria too 🤔 maybe lol

dude thank you😭 ive been playing terraria my whole life, been my favorite game of all time and hasnt ever changed. i was so happy playing through corekeeper and experiencing similar feelings, especially fighting king slime😭 cant wait to see your playthrough

[@MetalRenard]

800+ hours in Terraria, totally agree with you. I made my Steam account to buy Terraria back in the day.

[@DerfyRed]

Yes! After finding this game and relating it to my own limited terraria experience it will be amazing to see you work through this game.

[@GeoAce51]

I have to thank you honestly, if you hadn't covered the very first open alpha of CK, I probably would've never gotten to experience the game's growth. It's great to see you're returning!

[@LucasHDP666]

you can get rid of old anvils and workbenches, having the most recent one alone will let you scroll to previous ones

[@BrianSantosF]

extending this tip: early on you thrash them, but as the game goes on, it becomes more and more profitable to sell them to the NPCs, since you can't recycle them (most people still try :P)

[@dailthegoat799]

No this is no terraria I like haveing a line of 300 tables

[@Waasephi]

Glad you're finally able to play Core Keeper, its genuinely one of the best games I've played in the last few years, and it only gets better.

[@DouglasOrnelasSousa]

I did not stop to play this again after it went out of early access, but played plenty of it before and can give some useful spoiler free tips: - Cooked food always give bigger buffs than what you use as an ingredient, so it is always good to cook stuff - Pets are a good source of helpful damage, you can get then from eggs in the incubator (there is even an certain egg from a collab with Terraria) - Defeating bosses multiple times can yield different loots - You don't need multiple copies of loot since stuff just break but keeps in the inventory without durability unless you are on multiplayer (like for example Witch Doctor pants) so you can salvage then for resources and can always repair and reinforce the broken ones with scrap parts and materials - Building your skill tree stuff is pretty important, since you can get some really good effects (like poison hits from farming, extra ranged damage from fishing, extra melee damage from mining), so take your time to look into everything

[@iamgoo]

They added so much stuff. I started playing in July of 2022 and started playing again. Made a new character and did a summoner/sorcerer build. They also just buffed summoners which needed it. Heavily recommend 1.0+

[@christianedwards9025]

Don't forgot the golden crops with the super food cook buffs!

[@rowanstree8499]

Adding onto that 3rd point, kill malugaz until you get the rift lens, its awesome

[@SoundToxin]

@@rowanstree8499 Rift Lens is insanely good. It can go over small gaps of air or water, and go through fences and gates. It's the best movement tech the game has and made me not bother with any other offhand items in my primary loadout.

[@undeadgamer0396]

I'm so glad you're making videos on what is one of my favorite games ever. I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Here's just a few starter tips. -The currency in the game is ancient coins, it's an actual item, not some counter somewhere in your inventory. - The game has a linear progression but there's nothing stopping you from exploring "later" biomes (except for maybe your mining damage) - The core is your guide (if you want to play the game in said linear progression) - Just have fun with it, Core Keeper's exploration is by far the best part of the game (and trust me, there's some stuff out there that's worth your time)

[@draconis17]

For the record, Ghorm's path makes a giant ring around your spawn area, you would've found him no matter which direction you went.

[@mistapine]

I’m a “vet” in this game (300 hours, been playing since 2022) and my best tip is fortify all your armor and tools. It’s very worth it, other than that you only need your newest workbench, but I always recommend you carrying one on you. Other than that have fun, and if anyone has any questions I can answer them.

[@lordgao9768]

Hey there, Do you have a solution for better Mushroom farms? I usually just placed the Mushroom soil in a big square area and surrounded it with a fence so the spawning little mushroom guys are no trouble. But now with the big ones it’s a lot more annoying to do so because they just break the fences. Traps are also inefficient against them since they only take one damage. How do you make nice mushroom farms?

[@mistapine]

@@lordgao9768 if you’re far enough in the game maybe galaxite turrets will work if you put them next to high durability walls, but otherwise I don’t think mushroom farms are that effective or needed anyways so. Sorry that I can’t help that much

[@MultiStench]

@@lordgao9768 make the size zone you want the farm in, surround it with stone brick walls, place mushy ground or w/e you want to farm in this patter; M = mushy ground T = spike traps O = stone brick walls OOOOOOOOO O M T M T M O O T M T M T O O M T M T M O OOOOOOOOO just keep in fenced in and they wont escape =) then just play the game and come back now and then to pickup the loot =) Edit: the only way to farm the big ones are to manually kill them and use a block they cant destroy as a wall

[@lordgao9768]

@@mistapine Yea I know that they arent as effective as other food items, but I don’t really care about that, I just like having everything in my base :) I haven’t tried galaxite fence but the big ones destroyed even scarlet fences :/ I think any fence has the same durability. Thanks though!

[@mathislalonde353]

farming crops is important too, so you have somethings to eats

[@nasky5186]

21:20 can confirm, Glurch and Ghorm were both in the game, but Ghorm didn't have any fight mechanics and completely ignored you. I had to build spike strips to beat it

[@Obey_Deku]

Love how I looked up core keeper and at the same minute chippy posts this

[@GimmeBorger]

I’m glad others are playing core keeper it’s a really good game, I hope my let’s play series does help with there support

[@cyberwarlock]

it's on game pass - been crushing it. huuuuge map, and there's really nice options for mining like the grubzooka + mortar gun. the only things that i find are annoying is the inability to quickly replace floor tiles (removing+placing takes a while since it's 1 tile at a time). and since the map is so huge and the boss scanners are quite expensive to make, it takes a while to find them. great game overall though!

[@miguelfernandez4416]

You can remove any kind of tile with a hoe. Scarlet one does a 5x5 area in one go

[@SoundToxin]

@@miguelfernandez4416 I think he meant replacing the actual floor blocks and not stuff like the mob-spawning tiles on top of them, but I will second the hoe recommendation, deserves a permanent spot in the hotbar and is a better shovel for most uses. Also disarms traps and can quickly pick up conveyor belts and wire.

[@agoosecalledxaro6679]

I played this game about a year ago. It was really fun back then. It looks phenomenal now. I definitely need to hop back on.

Fun fact about the lighting in this game - it’s so good because it uses sophisticated lighting algorithms that would be too slow and complicated to run in real time in higher resolution, but are feasible at the resolution the game runs at!

do they have a devlog or post of any sort about this? Id be super curious to hear, this is a cool lil fact - ive always loved the lighting in the game

[@kranola9261]

Nice video! Will definitely be looking forward to the next episodes!! Just wanted to mention though, you don’t need to lay out all the different tiers of crafting benches, you just need the highest level that you have, and you’ll be able to select the lower ones in it with the green arrows to the side. Also, you can put the NPCs together in one room, you just need their beds and “items” (like the beard gel thing) to go with them.

I played it first when you made a video on it, then I bought it this May. It actually made me stop putting hours into Terraria for a bit

I, of course, also went the Terraria way and only really played and beat Hard (Expert to Legendary in Terraria)

[@DuckCuzWhyNot]

As someone who has played this game for a stupid while, what i enjoy most about it is the different skill trees, the upgrades you get from bosses, the amount of decor and building options, and the fact that this game seems to have no borders, i remember once going in a single direction for an hour, with no end to be seen and the feeling that you get that this game is just absolutely massive. Also, the lighting and music absolutely carries this game Also, belive it or not, but there are go-karts in the game now

"It's Just a couch" ... a few minutes latter, he figures out how to assemble the skull and have the boss fight there.... *grin* Used to be a hidden side boss, instead of being a full gem carrier. . That boss used to be slightly buggy that if you tried to use ranged attacks for too long, he'd leave the fight and reset. Every 10 seconds you had to run in and hit him in melee, give or take.

[@theunbearablebull]

I actually prefer this over terraria. I’m a dad, so terraria you really have to do research in knowing what the hell to do with consumables, finding items, locations etc. Core keeper is a little more user friendly and linear which saves me a ton of time, and yet I still spend time finding things out. Just less roaming mindlessly

[@icarusflyte]

You only need the highest tier workbench/anvil. They give you access to all lower tiers so you can get rid of the older ones to conserve space.

[@Dorumon21]

There a few things that's unclear at first from the talent trees but to make it simple, some things from other combat trees may affect what you are using. Like for example, if you are using magic, you can benefit from the short term buff that range combat talent gets that says that you may temporarily get 100% crit rate for a few moment, this is good combined with the magic's talent effect that says that crit restores a portion of your mana.
