Any place to store Pixels?

    As the title says, any place I can store my pixels safely so I don't lose 25% or so upon death?

    Then what about the death penalty?

    Like in Terraria, lose 25% of the money you're carrying, but not from the money store safely in your house.

    How do you put it in your house? Its nto under items and I can't click it on the top right.

    + 1 to that. I dont want to loose 25% of everything in my pockets. In terraria, you could rush back and reclaim it. Not here. Please allow us to store pixels.

    I'd rather not be able to store pixels. If you look at the prices for things such as the golden ducky or golden lamp they sell for 6000 and 3000 pixels respectively. I can only assume once we're able to sell items to NPC's then having money won't be an issue as oyu can essentially store money in the form of items that sell for a lot. That is just speculation though I like the challenge this death penalty presents though, keeps things interesting and stops me from amassing a stupid amount of pixels.

    This game can be challenging, let's keep it that way!

    Uh, how do you even sell them? All npcs I have encountered so far offered to sell their stuff only, but not the other way around.

    Yes, that's what I meant. I don't think it's in either right now but the fact that things are even showing you how much pixels they're worth leads me to believe that it will be.

    Especially since it's used in frickin' everything! Why do I need currency to MAKE things at the anvil? I'm pounding out metal into armor, why do I need pixels to "buy" the right to use those materials? Just a gripe I have. It's not too difficult to acumulate pixels, but still...

    As of right now, you aren't able to store your pixels anywhere. I was watching a livestream on Twitch of Leth playing and Tiy was there and didn't seem like he wanted to add the ability of storing pixels.

    They show the pixels because the 3D printer IS a feature that has been implemented and uses Pixels.

    In the future, there are no bank accounts. ;(

    Turns out I was wrong, Mindswipe is correct. While I can't find the tweet myself a friend had said they tweeted something about not wanting players to be able to sell items for pixels and that disposable income like that would come from the refinery.

    Storing pixels is a must...

    I would say keep the loss when you die, but if you make it back fast enough you can recover the pixels you lost.

    Storing pixels would completely defeat the purpose of the death penalty.

    I agree with what people are saying here - my problem in Terraria was that the currency was essentially worthless. Things were either absurdly expensive, whereby you had to simply grind for cash, or they were far too cheap - the balance didn't sit well with me personally, is all. It seems like in this, the death penalty and the fact you need Pixels to do everything makes the currency more valuable, and will spur me to explore more to get more loot to flog.
