Lmao even in 2015 it was a waste of time and i didnt bither
It’s not 2015 anymore. You don’t have to do everything in your power to stop the Hallow and Crimson/Corruption from taking over your world. Make hellevators to protect your base, sure, but that’s literally all you need to do. Besides, you can’t stop the V. The V is inevitable.
In the early stages of Hardmode, you WANT the evil biomes to take over parts of your world because you’ll need souls and a whole lot of other stuff. Besides, you can get a Clentaminator after defeating a single mech boss.
I’m posting this because I constantly see players spending hours upon hours in pre-Hardmode preparing for the biome spread. It’s not worth it.

Isolating the evils is just a good mindless task to have when my friends are offline.
Still, I wish there were easier ways to contain it other than spending hours digging tunnels. Post moonlord you should be able to get rid of all evil whenever you want easily
I just used a fuckton of dynamite, took like 20 min
I don't even protect my base. If the corruption is too close after WoF, I just go grab some hallowed blocks and disperse them under my base. The hallow spreads, then blocks the corruption, and it's effortless compared to other methods
I like sunflowers. Endless fields of sunflowers. You can be surrounded by corruption or crimson and not care
Never in my life have I cared tbh plus the hallow is sick as hell
I've played since day 1 and I've never once done any prep against the evils. All I do is make my base Hallow, and that's the only thing that ever needs to be done
"The V is inevitable" Intimidating but true
Me after releasing myself from my earthly bonds (realising that journey mode isn’t cheating and I can finally play on ultra hard difficulty without having to worry about corruption spread)
Omg, that rainbow design is incredible. I might steal this.
You absolutely can stop the V
You mean you can cleanse the V after it already happened. You cannot stop it from showing up in the first place provided you actually want to beat Moon Lord.
I actually enjoy cutting out a buffer zone around the evil biomes before the WoF. You end up finding so much stuff and end up with all the dirt and stone you need to build whatever you want
It's fun though
Making elevators to protect your base itself feels like a high effort time consuming task lol
It depends on what your end goal is. If you're building a town, i think its better to mitigate the spread. In any other instance it doesn't really matter much.
I still make hellavators around my world, but that's for easy access to the underground, and Digtoise can do it for me anyway. Aside from shimmer territory of course To protect my bases, I plant Hallow around them. Quick, simple and easy
Only thing I would recommend is watch your beaches. Letting it corrupt outside the world border sucks, but you have to be really slow to let it get that bad without intervention
Maybe plan where you kill WoF?
Seriously, I have sooooo much time in terraria. Been playing for well over a decade, on every single platform. I have never, not ever found biome spread to be a meaningful problem. Community got new players spending 6 hours digging multiple 4 block wide gaps everywhere Jesus check lol.
I needed to hear this, ty
It's crazy how many posts I see of people worrying about biome spread while it's pretty much irrelevant to a playthrough I think it's caused by so many people watching tons of guides instead of actually playing the game so they end up stumbling upon a biome spread guide that makes them think it's an important part of the game
