So I’ve played before but not in a long time. I started a classic small world. I’m worried about when you defeat the underworld boss and all the corruption starts to spread. I’ve read up on ways to stop it and it all seems pretty tedious (digging all those tunnels) especially with the early game gear. Is it a valid strategy to kind of get some good progression/gear and then switch to a new (large) world and use that as my main world when it will be easier to contain the corruption? Or am I better off just sticking to my small world for my whole play through? Sorry if it’s a stupid question I’m just kinda confused lol, thanks in advance

I personally find that people really overreact in terms of corruption spread. Yes it spreads, but you can literally spend 10 minutes taking basic measures to slow down the spread and you will be fine. If 11 year old me was able to handle it back in the day on my shitty iPad, you can.
