Terraria Hive Base
-
Keep the wiki open, explore the surface for cave entrances and look for pots/chests, the game completely changes once you get a grappling hook.
Naw go in blind, its pretty simple in the start. Of course you'll need the wiki later when you're trying to figure out what to do, but getting to hell and letting a demon drop its stuff right into the lava is a blast the first time when you have no idea whats coming.
After beating the game 4 times it all becomes second nature what to do. But the journey to get there is so much fun when you're first starting.

To each their own, I hated playing without knowing the crafting recipes and always loved looking up what I can make with everything I picked up.

That's so cool! Now I'm ashamed of my boring wooden rectangle bases.
Every time I play Terraria I tell myself I'll actually start building something good then end up making the boring rectangle hotel to stuff all my NPCs in one place. It's just too good.

That looks awesome reminds me of a level from the game UnEpic.
Unepic wasn't bad, but doesn't hold a candle to Terraria. It's still my favorite sandbox game.

I disagree, the start is the most obtuse part about Terraria. It's not clear what you should be doing, where you should be going, how to build valid housing for NPCs, etc.
I started blind waaay back when it first released and hated it, then went back to it with a guide and had way more fun. There is NO way someone will figure out without guidance that you're supposed to go down the holes in the corruption , TNT rocks, then smash orbs with a hammer to summon the 2nd boss.

Any tips for someone noob like me? Always wanted to play it but I don't exactly know where to start
Talk to the guide (starting npc) for tips on what to do next, you can also give him things you find and he'll tell you what you can craft with them. He's like the in game wiki and can be very helpful. Also spend lots of time just exploring, and don't be afrid to die.
When exploring make sure to collect any metals you see, and use them to building upgraded pickaxe and armor.
Also build extra houses so you can have lots of npcs move in. I hope you have fun & definetly look things up online if you have questions -

Lol this save also has a rectangle npc hotel. I typically build simple near spawn then build fun stuff around the map as I feel inspired / when I make pylons.

You don't need the wiki for that though, you can ask the guide what you can make out of anything.

Like someone else said, I prefer to go blind and not check the wiki if possible! I was looking for tips or stuff to do/don't
Thank you!

When I started playing, the guide was completely useless. He would also open your doors and leave them open, I very quickly grew to despise the guide and made his home a prison.
