What bothers me about this game is the the interface is a whoooooooole lot less convenient than Terraria's, which makes this game pretty tedious to play at times.
Admittedly, I haven't gotten far so I'll probably get more used to it in the future, but making items and crafting two separate windows located on keys completely across the keyboard is a lot less convenient than Terraria's method of having everything be under a single menu.
The quick selector is no longer part of the inventory box (which I really don't understand) meaning that putting items in/out of quick select requires opening the menu and dragging out of inventory and into quick select instead of just putting your stuff at the top of your inventory box. The tradeoff results in another row of storage space for your quick select bar, but the inconvenience of using it to begin with outweighs the extra capacity.
On top of that, either I'm really stupid, or the whole L/R thing in the quick select doesn't work correctly at all. If I put an item on the hand slots, I have no way to mousewheel over to that item and the only way to select it is to manually click on it, which sort of ruins the whole point of it being in quick select since you can't... quickly select things.
Furnaces are now Minecraft style where you have to have materials and then pop them in and wait for them to smelt (same with cooking) instead of just going through the same crafting interface like in Terraria, which just slows everything down.

[12/5/2013 8:45:45 PM] Vipershark: conversely, you can now dig two or four blocks at the same time but i'd much rather be able to dig where i'm actually pointing
[12/5/2013 8:45:58 PM] Vipershark: i hope the cursor accuracy is just due to it being beta
I know this game is still in beta and all, but a lot of the changes they've made seem like changes for the worst that make the whole game go a lot slower and play a lot less intuitively.
