The Twilight Zone: Debatable

[Saice]

Large hollow hills are one of the few places that can still challenge a late-game player. In maximally enchanted thaumium armor wielding a fully enchanted Sword of the Zephyr and Wand of Lightning, I still have to be very circumspect when I crack one of these open. It's very easy to get surrounded and overwhelmed. Quantum armor or the MPS equivalent makes them trivial, of course, but what isn't that true for? The rewards are worth it, though, at least in the early-to-mid-game.

I recomend this for hollow hills (or caving in gernal)

Shoops basic survival bag of tricks

• Bring graval, sand, or at lest dirt. Torches. and Food (yeah dont really need to say that)
• Light up areas as you go. I do about a 30x30 area at a time
• Block off areas to make choke points while you work
• Seal finished areas off and mark them somehow (I like to do this litle T with blocks)

I'm not a fan of bum rushing in. Mostly becuase in large caves you can easyly go on and on and on.
With this is does not matter of the whole wolrd spawns outside your work space. you can just murder and move your choke point foward as needed.

Another thing I suggest if you got the resources is building an endechest/bag system to give you basicly unlimited invtory. Bouns you can use a manger to keep it stocked with torchs, food, and tools while still pulling out everythign else you stuff in the enderbag.

I like the sand idea, I tend to leave the goodies until I completely light up the place.
In the off (on for me) chance I die, I'll lose nothing except whatever torches, swords, and armor I brought with me. After mobs are minimal, I'll go through the chests and to mining the top.

its only a diamond.

Its not like your tossing something valuable in like a shoop. And once you get there you can marvel at the horned shoops.

oh the many colores of the horned shoop and the great horned quest shoop

After a lot of Super Hostile training (beat almost all of them), hollow hills are barely a challenge for me. Especially with power armor, tools, jetpacks, and all the other cool mod items. The only thing that is really a threat for me are the bugs that grab you and carry you into a horde of other mobs. And it's not so much the damage, as the disorientation and loss of footing.

Mazes are fun, especially with a maze map. And getting charms of keeping, dying in some lava, and laughing like you don't give a damn - just priceless.

To me the 2 most important differences are:
* I need an Axe for all the wood I encounter, the special wood isnt particulary usefull and takes up space. Its nice getting sticks and to some extent berry's, but again are mostly just fast inventory fillers.
* I run into water instead of lava, while it first that might seem nice as water doesnt hurt you and you can now mine the ores in lakes. It also means i cant turn it into obsidian to walk over, slowing me down greatly.

For me its realy a vote on an option you dont have: "Its a nice change from over world mining every now and then".
