Is there any mods that allow valid housing underground? Or at least lets us build walls upon the background there.

Can't you do that already? Pretty sure you can place walls underground. I remember being able to do that.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Same here, I usually repair the walls in the small structures I find underground.

I think the mechanics are that some walls cannot be placed. Player-made Dirt Walls and pre-generated Dirt Walls are not the same thing, for example.

Apparently you can't just randomly place some walls without having placing some up the top. I finally managed to do it by connecting it from the walls of the house on the surface.

Kind of weird especially since we can't interact with pre-generated dirt walls underground with the hammers.

Kind of weird especially since we can't interact with pre-generated dirt walls underground with the hammers.

There are mods for that... but only to remove them so that they end up in your inventory. Some of them can then be placed again, but not all of them (which is a real shame when it comes to the Gem Walls).

 

[Hirato]

Chad's Furniture mod is pretty good for that stuff.

It's quite bad for performance though, especially if you mix in big ones like Thorium and Calamity too.
I'm not sure why, my guess is the game is testing every single craftable recipe every frame.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

The bad news? They caved in and will release a DLC for Terraria alongside the Journey's End-update.

The good news? It's the tModLoader-program, which has now officially become part of Terraria and ensures that the game will live on for years (decades?) to come as modders get their day in the sun.

The better news? It's free.

The best news? Free modder drama for the rest of us. It's only a matter of time...

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Remember a few State of the Game's ago when we mentioned that we were working on something pretty cool that would potentially change the way that people approach certain aspects of the game? Well, the time has come to give you a peek behind the curtain at Terraria HQ and let you in on some juicy details surrounding this new feature coming to Journey's End!


Building has always been a staple of the Terraria experience - but functionally-speaking, there has never been any real reward to making fun creations outside of the adoration of the community. Similarly, everyone builds their central base and sort of shoves everything there... sure, some folks build in other biomes, but only for fun. What if we told you that Journey's End is going to change all of this up, raising building up to being a core gameplay feature with its own rewards?

Introducing...


THE TERRARIA TOWNS SYSTEM


Towns will reward building like never before. Taking the time to spruce up your base(s), plan for NPC placement, and building bases in multiple locations will now provide you a variety of benefits that have never before been available. Of course you don't HAVE to partake in this new system, but we think you will find the positives in doing so to be quite tempting indeed.

Excited? Scared? Let's take a few minutes to dive into how this new approach to building works, shall we?

TREAT 'EM RIGHT! - NPC HAPPINESS

During Journey's End development, we conducted a focus group with all of the Terraria NPCs. Outside of some very strange requests (no, Guide, we cannot 'remove all doors at night'), their feedback was very clear: they are tired of being shoved into tiny cubicles or L shaped tubes and they want you to know this!

In order to help raise NPC morale so that they could be at their very best - and to reward players who go that extra mile to treat their NPCs with the respect they deserve, we are introducing the NPC Happiness System. How does it work? What does this mean for you? Read on....


What affects NPC Happiness?

• NPC's are happier when you locate them in biomes that they prefer
• NPC's are happier when they like their neighbors
• NPC's are happier when they are not overcrowded with other NPCs

Adding nice furniture and aesthetics doesn't directly affect NPC Happiness... but it sure will make you feel better about yourself when your friends come over for a visit.

What Happens if my NPCs are Happy/Unhappy?

• NPC Shop prices will adjust based upon how happy each NPC is at the time
• If you make an NPC happy enough, you will gain access to a Pylon for that Biome (more on this below!)

How can I tell if my NPCs are Happy?

• You will notice a new dialogue option for Happiness for each NPC
• This will give you hints about what might make them happier as well!

DIVERSIFY & SPREAD OUT - BIOME BASES & TOWNS

Pretty much everyone does the same thing when base building right? A big central area right at the initial spawn point... crammed with NPCs and crafting stations and storage and more. At best, people stick up a single room with a bed for boss fight respawns. We can do better than this, and what about all of the other poor biomes that would love to have you set up shop in their neck of the woods, and - again - those poor NPCs may not want to live in the Forest Biome!

But wait, there's more! If you group at least 3 NPCs together in a given location, it will be recognized as being a Town. Towns are not subject to enemy spawning - outside of invasion events - and you will get to hear the super cool town music when you visit!



All together, with Journey's End in conjunction with the Happiness System, you will be rewarded for building multiple bases across the scope of your world like never before!

Forest Base

Underground Base

Snow/Ice Base


Well, that is great and all, but how will you get around your world to visit your now happy, but far-flung NPCs? Let's bring it all together and close out with the brand new Pylons!

ROADS, WE WON'T NEED ROADS - INTRODUCING PYLONS

We briefly mentioned these mysterious Pylons in our section on things you can get with happy NPCs. So what are these, and why should you care? Well, if you have enough happy NPCs in a given biome, you will unlock the use of a Pylon for that biome. Pylons allow you to instantly teleport from one Pylon to another! With Pylons in place, your "big central base" now becomes an interconnected network of cool outposts all over the world, allowing you to get around quickly without the need to lay tracks or teleporters... and providing you a home away from home wherever you are!

PYLON INSTRUCTION MANUAL

You can only have one Pylon of a given biome type placed at a time (so you can not have, for example, an Ocean Pylon at both Oceans)

Pylons must be placed in their aligned biome in order to function (you can place them anywhere else, but they will not work!)

Pylons must also have two nearby (and living) NPCs in order to function - again, the idea here is to reward building those bases/towns!

Pylons cannot be used during Boss Battles or Invasion Events!

Pylons are quite easy to use. Once placed in their aligned biome, you simply click on a nearby pylon. This will take you to the map screen where you can locate another placed pylon to which you want to teleport, click it and off you go!

 

[garren]

That's kinda cool. Finding new ways to encourage building bases is always nice.

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

I don't get why I should build a house in a biome when I can build the biome under the house.
Need a jungle biome for a NPC? 6 blocks of mud + jungle grass. Done, instant jungle.

Why would I go all the way to the jungle to build it when I could do that?

 

[garren]

Because then you don't get the free teleporter into the real jungle.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

WE NEED TO CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS

(someone had to say it eventually)

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

Because then you don't get the free teleporter into the real jungle.

Oh I see, there must be NPCs near the pylon for it to work.
Ok yeah I can see the appeal. You can already sort of build a teleportation network now, it just requires a lot of wire to do so, so it would seem that Re-logic are trying to simplify that.

 

[Jackpot]

I hope a town/pylon placement prevents the spread of corruption/hallow/crimson into the town.
I can just imagine having to constantly maintain the biomes each of my towns are in or risk losing the ability to teleport to them.

 

[Black Angel]

Dem two merchants tho

In other news, just now I'm a bit frustrated trying to find the metal detector, or rather the Nymph. I was fooled and utterly unprepared the first time I met her. The second time I fell to death instead. The third time I was clearing out large body of water and there she was, right in the depths of the water, I didn't even notice if she was obliterated by my dynamites instead.

So I looked up online for a bit on how to find her, and a guy said he encountered one from simply riding the minecart back and forth. So I did, and just now, I was staring at the Lifeform Analyzer's alert of a nearby rare creatures, when suddenly 'Lost Girl' popped up. I was about to disengage from the minecart when it immediately changes to 'Nymph', which means she's damaged.... and because the minecart rammed straight to her and when I disengaged from the minecart, I immediately upon a frail layer of thin ice which would breaks simply from me falling from a jump, then proceed to rape cut her down with my big dick sword. Really fun times, man

Edit:

Finally read what the big update was all about. There goes my next big base goal to build Vault 13 in 2D

More forum updates - I'll do my best to share them all until the date!

WHAT WAS OLD IS MADE NEW AGAIN - REVISITING THE TERRARIA EXPERIENCE
Happy Monday, Terrarians and welcome to a fresh week on the road to Journey's End!

To kick off the week in style, we wanted to share one of the more impactful - but often unappreciated - aspects of Journey's End. On top of all of the shiny new content and features, the team has spent countless hours giving the entire game a thorough review across the spectrum of Balance and Aesthetics. The truth is that over time, as updates have released, some content felt "left behind", imbalanced, or it didn't feel quite "right" any more. So, we took on the arduous task of giving those things a makeover. Today's Journey's End feature article touches the surface of these efforts - read on to learn more!

FULL REBALANCE PASS ON ENEMIES AND ITEMS

As a part of Journey's End, the team examined and re-examined the balance of the content in the game. From start to finish, no stone was left unturned and no gear left unaccounted for. In the end, what remains is a full rebalancing of the game from top to bottom. Stats have changed, functionality has changed. There is no better time to start a fresh playthrough and experience the new Terraria for the first time! Want some more examples? Sure you do!


ENEMY & BOSS REBALANCE

Our friend the Golem has some new surprises in store for you

King Slime has learned how to climb ropes

The Moon Lord laughs at your pathetic attempts to defeat him by hiding inside boxes

WEAPON & ARMOR CHANGES


Weapons/Armor and other gear were also closely examined. Beyond stats, some situations in the game required more than just stat changes to make things feel right again. So, you will see some weapons and weapon classes that have all new functionality. Let's have a look, shall we?

SHORTSWORDS
No longer content to exist solely on the X-Axis, your favorite stabby weapons are now able to poke at foes in all directions!

FLAILS
Flails felt left behind by the introduction of Yoyos, so they have all new functionality to restore their status as useful weapons

CHARGED BLASTER CANNON
Yesterday's throwaway weapon from the Martian Madness Event (What? Don't look at us like that, don't act like you ever used the thing!) is today's death-dealing space laser of doooooom!

CHRISTMAS TREE SWORD
Our festive friend here always felt very underwhelming when lined up next to its fellow Frost Moon drops... so now it can channel its inner Everscream.

MEDUSA HEAD
Medusa's Head felt underwhelming for when you were able to obtain this in the core progression. So, this has been reworked to have a quite unique attack style.

WAND OF SPARKING
The Wand of Sparking has been a bone of contention for some time in regards to feeling underpowered - no longer!
Damage increased from 8 to 14
Speed increased from 28 to 26
Now has a 10% critical chance
Chance to inflict On Fire! increased from 33% to 50%

MAGIC MISSILE
Magic Missile has been overhauled to be more lethal and fun to use than ever before!
Projectile is faster and has homing if you release it
Has a moderate AoE damage explosion on impact

HALLOWED ARMOR
New Set Bonus: Holy Protection
Familiar to most users as Shadow Dodge, Hallowed has had its previously stat-based set bonus replaced with a periodic immunity to damage.
Upon attacking an enemy, you will gain a buff. If an enemy hits you during this buff, you will gain a very brief immunity to damage.
After this period of immunity, at least 30 seconds must pass before you can re-activate the immunity buff.

TITANIUM ARMOR
New Set Bonus: Titanium Barrier
As you attack enemies, titanium shards accumulate and spin around you
These shards deal damage to enemies at close range, and inflict knockback.
Use them defensively to keep enemies away, or for the bold, aggressively to inflict extra damage.

STARDUST ARMOR
Stardust Guardian now has a more much vigorous and aggressive attack, and he will attack automatically without prompting. All resemblance to a certain anime is purely coincidental.

SOLAR ARMOR
Solar Armor is no longer content to sit at the back of the line, so it's set bonus now grants more defense than ever before... along with a passive regen effect.
Solar Helmet critical chance bonus increased from 17% to 26%
Solar Breastplate melee damage bonus increased from 22% to 29%
Each piece of the set now gives 1 HP/s regen
Instead of 30% damage reduction whenever you have charges, part of Solar Armor's damage reduction is now active at all times, with the amount increasing when you have shield charges. This gives Solar Armor a more persistent durability.
Recharge time between shield charges reduced by 1 second

GRAPHICS OVERHAUL


As with our balance and mechanics review, the team has put a fresh coat of paint on a number of things in Terraria. Biomes, Furniture Sets, even some Enemies have been given the makeover treatment! Heck, we even spruced up the logo...

Check out some of the eye candy magic that our artists have been creating in the series of before and after gifs below!

Please note that this work is still ongoing, so anything you see here is still subject to change!!!

Crowno

Lazure

Jimmarn

We hope that today's Feature really shows how Journey's End is not only about new things, but also about old things made new again. Across the entire progression of the game, there are new surprises in store for players - once again, we really encourage a fresh playthrough in order to experience it all!

INTRODUCING JOURNEY MODE
THE ACCESSIBLE EVOLUTION OF THE TERRARIA EXPERIENCE

Welcome back aboard the Journey's End express everyone!

Today's Feature Article is one that we have been looking forward to for quite some time, as we will be giving you a first glimpse into the brand new Journey Mode. The goal of Journey Mode is to provide a more accessible experience by providing the player unprecedented control over the gameplay experience. A way to bring in all players of various skill levels and to be able to customize your experience to optimize the fun you have in game. This is not Creative Mode, this is a whole new way to experience Terraria - and one we feel represents the ultimate evolution of being able to play your Terraria any way that you want.

What does all of this mean? How does it all work? Let's dive into just the high level here....

JOURNEY MODE - CHARACTERS AND WORLDS

Before we get started, you should know the one key rule of Journey Mode - a place where otherwise the rules are meant to be bent and broken:

You can only play Journey Mode Characters in Journey Mode Worlds.

No Normal Characters in Journey Mode Worlds. No Journey Mode Characters in Normal/Expert/Master Worlds.

No Exceptions.

Creating a Journey Mode Character

Creating a Journey Mode World


Once you have your Character and World created, you are all set! So what awaits you in Journey Mode? Let's take that first step...

STARTING OFF ON THE RIGHT FOOT - ENHANCED STARTER GEAR

Every Journey begins with that first step, but of course, every smart traveler packs the right gear before heading out. In Journey Mode, you will begin your adventure with an enhanced starter gear package, which includes:

• Iron Shortsword
• Iron Axe
• Iron Pickaxe
• Iron Hammer
• Finch Staff (a bird that is happy to sit on your head when it isn't attacking your foes)
• 100 Torches
• 100 Rope
• Magic Mirror
• Starter Wings (very limited flight, removes fall damage)

Of course, you are free to use as much - or as little - of this gear as you choose. As you will hear us say over and over in regards to Journey Mode - the choices are all yours! Take as much or as little help as you need. You can even make things harder on yourself if you so choose, but more on that later.

WELCOME TO TERRARIA LABORATORIES - THE FUTURE OF R & D

R&D? What in the world are we talking about? Welcome to the wide, wide world of Terraria R&D: Research & Duplication.

R&D is going to quickly become your best friend - and latest obsession - during your adventures in Journey Mode. How does it all work? Why, it is so easy, the Guide could do it!

RESEARCH

Once you complete your Research on any item in the game, you will unlock the power to Duplicate it at will. Let's pause a second to let that sink in. Ok, are you back with us? Let's continue along our tour.

Researching an item is pretty straight forward - start by opening up your inventory and clicking on Benny the Construction Bunny. This hardhat-wearing friendly critter is your gateway to the immense powers bestowed upon you in Journey Mode.

Next up, let's click the Gear icon - this will open up our Research Interface, as you can see below! In this example, you can see that we are trying to Research Wood, and that we have already Researched zero wood out of the 100 needed to complete Research.

Let's toss 100 Wood in there and click the Research Button!

Just like that, your 100 Wood is gone. Any items Researched will be wiped from existence. Thanks for all the free Wood! Oh wait, that's right, there's more.

DUPLICATION

Now, let's click that icon just above the Gear - this little stack of boxes will open up the Duplication Menu! Anything you have completed Research on previously will appear in the area off to the right. Oh look! There is your Wood!

Clicking the icon for any item appearing in the Duplication Menu will instantly spawn a full stack of that item (materials, blocks, etc.) or a single duplicate of things like Weapons/Armor/Accessories. Anything you can Duplicate is yours to use as you see fit. Again, this is a power you can choose to utilize - or not. As we keep saying, Journey Mode is about you playing your way!

So just how powerful does this get? Aren't there over 5.000 items now? How in the world can I keep track of all of that?! With a fully searchable interface along with filter tabs, you will be able to quickly find what you are looking to recreate!

R&D works in Multiplayer sessions as well! Work together as a team to help your partners keep up! Share gear (or don't!) - make sure that everyone gets the early Hermes Boots or epic boss drop. What you and your friends decide to do with all this power is entirely up to you!

THE POWER TO MANIPULATE YOUR WORLD - CONTROL WEATHER & TIME ITSELF

You ever have those days in Terraria where it seems to have become monsoon season and the rain never stops? How about those times when you are ready to challenge Skeletron but you look up and it is 6:59am in game? What if you just wanted to engage in a bit of kite-flying, but the wind isn't cooperating? Once again, Journey Mode has the answers to all of these problems and more!

CONTROL THE WEATHER

The weather has become a bigger and bigger part of the Terraria experience over time - and 1.4 takes that to the next level, with new wind effects and storms to add to the already-robust environmental effects. That being the case, it only makes sense that Journey Mode gives you the power to control the very weather itself!

You have two core powers here - tied to Rain and Wind. Weather control is all located within the little Rain Cloud icon. These are pretty self-explanatory, so let's let the pictures do the talking!

Monsoon Season? Not Anymore!

East Wind Blow! West Wind Blow!


You can also turn off the ability for the game to randomly change Wind or Rain, so that the game itself cannot mess with your mastery of the elements! <Villainous Laughter Ensues>

BACK TO THE FUTURE AND BACK AGAIN - MANIPULATE TIME ITSELF

What if I told you that you could jump ahead in time, accelerate it's passing, and even freeze it altogether - and that you would not even need a single gigawatt to do so? Sounds like a pipe dream? Well keep dreaming, folks, because with Journey Mode, that is precisely what you can do!

Once again, we will let the images do the talking here - as the speak for themselves. To control time, click on the Clock icon (shocking, we know))...

CREATING A CHALLENGE WORTHY OF YOUR SKILLS - REAL-TIME DIFFICULTY AND SPAWN RATES


In the past, Terrarians were forced to select their level of difficulty at the World Creation screen. While this is certainly still the case in the normal game modes, Journey Mode once again breaks the mold and allows players to create a challenge tailored to their skill level - and to adjust it back up or down as they see fit, with real-time results.

What does this all mean? Well, this means that the challenge level in Journey Mode is in your hands - from an easy no-enemy jaunt through the countryside to a murderous gauntlet full with hordes of Master Mode enemies, once again, the choice belongs to you. With Journey Mode you can create both the easiest and the most difficult experiences that Terraria has to offer.

For this power, you have two levers to pull. Difficulty - which will impact everyone you are playing with (in multiplayer) - and Spawn Rate, which will only impact the area around your character. With Spawn Rate, everyone can have their own mini-challenge slider even though the difficulty level is the same for everyone.

Difficulty Slider

Enemy Spawn Rate


So, you have seen what Master Mode is all about... well a taste at least. How about this Spawn Rate thing? Well, here is a quick shot of what happens when you have Spawn Rate set to 10 for about 20 seconds...

ROUNDING OUT JOURNEY MODE - ADDITIONAL POWERS


There are a small handful of additional powers that we would be remiss to not mention - and we are pretty sure these will be fan favorites! Two of these are player-based powers, while one of them impacts the world itself.

Godmode - Also sometimes known as Kidmode... a nice set of training wheels to help new or younger players learn the game (don't worry, we won't tell anyone when you use it on yourself to get over the tougher challenges)

Infection Spread - Don't want it? Then you don't have to have it

Increased Placement Range - Ok, sure, but just how big of a difference does this make?

Enough Said?

Whew, so you made it to the end of our journey into Journey Mode. We are sure your minds are swimming with the ideas and possibilities right now. Let's close out with some thoughts from a dedicated community content creator and influencer. Someone whom has never failed to cover and provide his thoughts on the big news in the world of Terraria. Of course, we speak of none other than @ChippyGaming - so without further ado, we are happy to share his advance-view thoughts on Journey Mode!

 

[garren]

I dunno man, seems like they tried to combine easy mode with creative, so you have to "earn" everything you build. But what if I just want to have access to creative without going through the motions to "earn" everything? And the easy mode might not even exist since you got cheat codes and everything, so what's the point? They say that you don't have to use the cheats or free blocks, but in my experience having to limit yourself instead of the game doing that rarely leads to enjoyable experience, since that stuff is just a finger press away. Alas, I couldn't care less about the journey mode, just give me creative right off the bat.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

The world of Terraria is so chock-full of content, it can be hard to keep track of it all! Sure, the Guide has you covered for crafting recipes and the Terraria Wiki is fantastic - but don't you wish there was a way to know more about your foes in game? Where can I find the Lost Girl? How much health does a Derpling have? How many coins can I get from farming Jellyfish?

WONDER NO MORE, FOR THE TERRARIA BESTIARY IS HERE!

How will you ever fill out this voluminous tome and just what all will it contain? Let's turn the page and begin our careful study of the Terraria Bestiary!

A TERRARIA BESTIARY PRIMER: WHAT LIES WITHIN

So, what sorts of information can you find within the Terraria Bestiary? Well, that all depends on how far you are willing to go in your studies of the inhabitants of your world! The Terraria Bestiary utilizes a 0-5 Star system to reflect the rarity of a given creature. Not only that, but you will learn more and more about foes and creatures as you defeat them multiple times. What will you learn at each tier?

NOTE: BESTIARY PROGRESS IS TIED TO THE WORLD, NOT THE CHARACTER

STAR RARITY EXAMPLES

BESTIARY ENTRY PROGRESSION

As you gather more research on creatures (by killing them) or NPCs (by talking to them), you will learn more and more valuable information about them - as seen in our example study below on the most famous shambling enemy in Terraria...

Pretty cool stuff, huh? With all of this information at your fingertips, you will be able to quickly ascertain what enemy you should be hunting, where it is located, and much, much more. - all without having to click out of the game to visit the Wiki or some other guide. Now that you can see the potential, let's dive into how to get around the Terraria Bestiary!

THE TERRARIA BESTIARY AND YOU: HOW DOES IT ALL WORK


So, as we said, filling out your Terraria Bestiary is quite simple indeed! Defeat foes, learn stuff, profit. With over 500 creatures to research, how will you ever be able to keep track of it all? Let's discover how you can open and get around the Bestiary!

For starters, the icon to open the Bestiary is located inside your Inventory screen, in the lower right corner. Click on that and let's take a look!

Pretty cool stuff, huh? What, you don't like all those question marks? Well, get out there and start killing things filling them in! We will be here when you get back.

Nice work! Wow, that is a lot of information to take in, isn't it? How will we ever find the information that we want? Read on!

PAGE ARROWS

For starters, you will find a set of page arrows in the upper left corner, allowing you to scroll through the seemingly-endless Bestiary entries at your leisure. Pretty straight forward, assuming you know your left from your right. You do, don't you?

SORTING

Of course, we do not expect you to just manually scroll about - we are not monsters (well, last we checked, we do not appear in the Bestiary at least)! With this pulldown menu, you can sort your Bestiary in a variety of ways! Which enemy that you have researched drops the most coins on average? What is the most rare fiend that you have yet to tame? All there for you, at the click of a button.

FILTERS

Similarly, you might find yourself wondering "Gee, I wonder what foes I have faced in the Corruption?", or "I don't remember, which creatures come out during the Rain", or maybe "Which biome did I find that Lost Girl hiding in?" - with the robust Bestiary Filters system, you can quickly access this information on the fly!

You can use multiple filters at once - so have fun playing around with various combinations!

SEARCH

Of course, should all else fail... we have equipped the Terraria Bestiary with a good old fashioned text search. Type in the creature you want to gaze upon and off you go!

CARING FOR THE CREATURES: SAY HELLO TO THE ZOOLOGIST

But wait... there's more! Filling out your Bestiary will have other tangible benefits for you to discover, courtesy of the brand new Zoologist NPC!



This friendly caretaker will share a variety of rewards with you as your Bestiary progresses - from fun vanity items to pets to unique kites, and ever more useful tools such as minecarts and much more! Be sure to check in with her from time to time and see what she has to offer!

Let's check out what she has in store for the just-starting-out Bestiary explorer:

Included here, we see...

The Guide to Critter Companionship
This fun little book will help keep all of those innocent critters from being needlessly harmed by your actions as you explore your world!


Pet License
Use one of these to bring a friendly pet (perhaps a Dog?) to town!



Dog Ears
The Zoologist has fun animal-themed vanity items for sale - be sure to check back often!



The others, well you will just have to wait and find out for yourself as her inventory evolves and expands thanks to your efforts to fill in the Bestiary!

TRACKING YOUR PROGRESS

How do you know how much you have filled in and now much you have left to go? Check out the handy progress bar located at the bottom of the Bestiary Page!

We hope you enjoyed this peek into the wild wild world of Terraria's new Bestiary. One week to go, everyone! See you soon...

FUCK - they introduced a furry NPC.

So... where's Terraria 2?

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Why spend effort (into learning about) building a new cow when the old cow still produces milk?

There are some gameplay videos out from *selected* of the new Terraria - one noticeable effort on behalf of the devs is game balancing.

If you find a trap underground and pick away the trigger to disarm it, you no longer get the trigger as an item. This seems to have been done specifically to prevent people being able to carry a trigger around to see the wires for other traps.

Another balancing change is with what items fit into the cosmetic accessory slots. Clever players previously used these to store items to conserve inventory space. Now it's been greatly limited which items can go into those slots. Meanwhile Inventory has been buffed in general, so this is not a major change, but it does set the tone.

Gold Shortsword damage increased from 11 to 12

Flails
Flails now have entirely new behavior, and a few different functionality modes.
If you click and hold the mouse button, they will swing around rapidly, doing low knock back and hitting rapidly in a small circle around you.
If you click and use them normally, you will shoot them forward similar to how they use to be used, but they will move much faster than they did before. The damage dealt is double in this mode.
Finally, if you click while it is in midair after having shot it forward, it will drop suddenly and lay on the ground. This can be used as a stationary damaging obstacle like a Spiky Ball on enemies walking towards you.
Some flails have had some stat tweaks to fit with this new setup, such as having slightly longer or shorter range, but generally speaking, all of them should perform better than before.

Poison Staff
Note: Previously, due to piercing immunity frames, only one projectile from each shot would hit each target, resulting in a lot of lost damage. We've implemented a system that allows ALL of the projectiles to hit a target, dramatically improving its shotgun-like functionality. However, to offset this gain, it has had to have some of its stats reduced. On the whole, this should now be a stronger weapon, however.
Damage decreased from 48 to 43

Applies a 25% damage penalty to the next hit for each enemy a projectile pierces
Now has a range before projectiles die, 50% longer than Poison Staff's

Now has a 20% critical chance
Mana Cost increased from 15 to 18
Use Time decreased from 40 to 24
Projectile speed greatly increased, as a result, has better range and much harder to fall below the minimum threshold to maintain maximum damage

Can no longer pierce and hit multiple enemies

For the next two seconds, you will fire 3 total piercing blasts, each dealing a base damage of 250 (up from 100)
After this, it will shoot the laser beam, which is unchanged from the original implementation
You can also quick-fire pellets without charging. The fire rate of these pellets is much higher than the previous implementation.
The mana cost of charging is unchanged, however, quick firing will naturally consume more mana as the fire rate has increased significantly.

Nebula Blaze
Use Time decreased from 15 to 12
Mana cost decreased from 18 to 12

G. Summons:
Summoned minions now adjust their damage dynamically based on your current equipment and damage buffs

"Some (though not all) Summons now use their own damage immunity timer system. In practice, what this means is that they will no longer interfere with the use of other weapons by maxing out the enemy's immunity frames. All affected minions are set on their own damage timer to most correctly match their pre-change DPS, but some changes are to be expected comparing 1.3.5 DPS to 1.4 DPS. In general, even if there is some minor loss or gain of DPS compared to pre-change performance, it should be worth the improvement to overall performance. Examples of minions impacted by this change:
- Slime Staff
- Spider Staff
- Pirate Staff
- Optic Staff
- Raven Staff
- Deadly Sphere Staff
- Stardust Dragon Staff
- Some of the new summons also utilize this system"

Damage decreased from 21 to 17
Fire Rate increased dramatically

I. Accessories, Hooks, and Mounts:
You no longer gain stacked benefits from wearing multiple Celestial Stone variants
In addition to its previous Confusion effect, Brain of Confusion now gives a 1/6 chance to avoid enemy attacks. Upon avoiding an attack, you will gain a temporary buff that gives 20% critical chance for a few seconds, during which time you cannot avoid additional attacks.
Titan Glove and its tinkers now give autoswing to all Melee Weapons (and Whips!)

Wing Balance has been heavily balanced across the entirety of the game.
With only a few exceptions, wings found at the same tier should be roughly equivalent in power. Exceptions are usually particularly hard or particularly easy to get.
Unfortunately, its difficult to share exact stats for wings, partially because there are dozens of them that have been changed, and their stats don't easily translate to easily readable stats.
The best short summary is that over a dozen sets of wings were buffed, and that Leaf and Frozen Wings have been reduced in power, as they were too strong for their tier.
Other major notes:
- Butterfly and Bee Wings can now only drop after the Mech Bosses, but their power has been increased proportionally.
- Previously, most wings from Wall of Flesh until Golem were very similar in power, and didn't offer a lot of reason to upgrade. These have now been spread out, creating a more gradual, consistent increase in wing power across the course of the game.

Desert Fossil can now be mined at any pickaxe power or with bombs. However, it is fragile and adjacent fossil blocks may break when you mine it, costing you some of the ore.
Desert Fossil based gear is now weaker because it is available sooner.
Hellforges now require Demonite Pickaxe or higher to break. They also now protect the tiles below them from being broken while in the Underworld. This does not apply outside of the Underworld.

All of the Food in the game, including the 50+ new Food items, have had their durations and tiers adjusted to have a more consistent reward for the difficulty of obtaining them.

Well Fed Buff now gives a mining speed bonus

Wing Balance has been heavily balanced across the entirety of the game.
With only a few exceptions, wings found at the same tier should be roughly equivalent in power. Exceptions are usually particularly hard or particularly easy to get.
Unfortunately, its difficult to share exact stats for wings, partially because there are dozens of them that have been changed, and their stats don't easily translate to easily readable stats.
The best short summary is that over a dozen sets of wings were buffed, and that Leaf and Frozen Wings have been reduced in power, as they were too strong for their tier.
Other major notes:
- Butterfly and Bee Wings can now only drop after the Mech Bosses, but their power has been increased proportionally.
- Previously, most wings from Wall of Flesh until Golem were very similar in power, and didn't offer a lot of reason to upgrade. These have now been spread out, creating a more gradual, consistent increase in wing power across the course of the game.

All axes, hamaxes, chainsaws and other tools with axe-functionality have their wood cutting speed increased by 20%

Desert Fossil can now be mined at any pickaxe power or with bombs. However, it is fragile and adjacent fossil blocks may break when you mine it, costing you some of the ore.
Desert Fossil based gear is now weaker because it is available sooner.
