i forget if QoL also adds the travelling merchant and bone merchant perma npcs which is one of the best things in luiafk

Actually, at least for me, I found that the Potion Bag's 20 potion limit didn't apply to me for whatever reason. In my world that's got Calamity Infernum, my bag is currently holding twice the limit. So either the limit is unintentionally broken, was removed, but the text still remains, or I managed to figure out a combination of mods that make the limit meaningless.

For point 1 diferently from luiafk where potions are crafted into specific items using vanilla potions, qol mod also work with moded potions, and i think we can configure to make the bag hold every potion too, making it also a 1 slot item for every potion, but it still doesnt work as teleportation potions xD

I've always used LuiAFK mod but I've never tried Quality of Life mod before, I should give it a try! Thanks Brome!

I use both QoL is better but I use luiafk for the items like arena builder hellevator and prison but the thing I like the most about QoL is that you can config a lot of things like faster respawn full hp when respawn, max stack, no tombs so you don't have to download and load the singular mods that do those things

[cherryc]

Some good points, but we all know the true best QoL mod: Magic Storage

[Notvisibletoanyone]

1 thing id like to mention is that the wand of space from QoL mod can place blocks that are already hammered, which makes building rows of platforms that you can fall through immediately much easier

[billybob]

The problem I have with both the mods you're talking about here, is that their changes often go beyond QoL to straight up cheating.
I like fargo's because it treads the line between a lot better.
Being able to merge the potions together into a mega buff or put them in a bag to free up inventory space is an example of exactly that.
LuiAFK giving very easy access to infinite liquids in pre-HM is another example, whereas the QoL liquid wand is both neat and fair.

one other thing i like about quality of life is that when you have 30 battler potions, calming potions, a water candle, and a peace candle in your inventory you unlock an enemy spawn rate slider in your buff tracker that goes from 0x to 50x normal spawn rates

[ericksantos]

I like how QoL is more minimalistic in terms of items, like the potion and the bullets you need to just have them, and build wands is much less cheaty than the arena builder from luiafk. But in other hand Luiafk's Hellevator is really nice, i've always hated my dynamite holes and this item builds even with torches and walls

[arcdaeva]

LuiAFK feels too cheaty IMO, QOL are way more gameplay friendly. And if people doesn't like grinding in the game they should just use cheat mod like HERO tbh. Because grinding is part of the game. But LuiAFK works too i guess.

[sterlander]

terraria modders be like "yeah this is quality of life" (its a blatant cheat mod)

[xDidddle]

I like QoL more because luiaAFK make the game too easy. They literally give you an infinite mana item.
QoL feels way more polished and vanilla friendly

[aexdeye]

While both mods provide their own unique items & mechanics, Quality of Terraria(yeah, it got renamed) has won my heart over because of it's extensive configs, which luiAFK lacks.

also, luiafk feels alot more intrusive, while with the right configs QoT can fit right in without influencing the game too much.

[WomanSlayer]

Quality of life is better.
Having to craft infinite potions with a scrolls crafter feels counterintuitive to the purpose of reducing grinding, it's much better being able to hide buffs from infinite potions naturally. It also conflicts with other mods like alchlite since combinations and infinites from luiafk would stack and lead to you getting the same buffs twice, which breaks balance, while such a problem doesn't happen with quality of life. Quality of life's potion bag actually holds infinite, and so does its banner box. Infinite ammo with 3996 is mostly redundant, so wherever LuiAFK takes the W it's always *very* slight.

[ohluit]

imo QoL is more vanilla friendly and LuiAFK is more cheaty

[pi]

I use Quality of Life, LuiAFK, Fargo's Mutant Mod and pbone's utilities(whenever they are available for the version of the game), all bring good things and none of them are big enough to cause a slowdown of the game when used together, and don't break one another or the game while I play, though I do mostly use Quality of Life more than LuiAFK because I never look at mod-specific crafting recipes in Recipe Browser, and Quality of Life feels more integrated into the game and other mods, making it my choice over the other mods if I had to choose only one of these 4.

[Flowery]

fun fact: you can store infinite potions in a potion bag. they changed it(or it was a bug they didn't fix) and forgot to change the description

[bronntoise]

I use QoL, LuiAFK and Fargo's all in conjunction with each other. They can be tweaked so they don't particularly have huge overlaps with each other, and in my case, there's some items that I just never craft (from LuiAFK mainly) that feel too cheaty.

[matoiryuko]

I would give 1 point for the banner box because banner are useless if you don't have the unlimited effect everytime and everywhere yes the effect is small but it stacks and at least they are usefull ihstead being in your storage or trash
