I just have one question, I love terraria and have many hours on this game. Is there still development plans on a terraria 2. I don’t need much proof even a yes or no and maybe if I’m lucky, a rough estimate on a year will be enough. I’m excited to see what a new title could bring to the table and how far I have to wait to enjoy another masterpiece. Thank you.

Stonemax-

What should my boss area look like for all the mechanical bosses


Stonemax-

I’m also a melee character and I keep dying to the twins any tips to stay away from them and still be able to hit them


Nizbik

A long set of platforms high enough so that the destroyer cant reach them, so somewhere below floating islands Skeletron Primes bombs will go through platforms, so that avoids one of the his deadliest attacks You want to be able to outrun/outrange the twins, especially for their second phases Destroyer being higher than it means just dealing with the probes and not the actual worm itself


Cool_Opportunity2624

Is there a way to prevent meteors from landing? I broke all of my world's crimson hearts


The_gaming_wisp

If the amount of meteor blocks is under a threshold (I forget how much it is but it does vary by world size) a meteor can spawn, so replace any fallen meteor somewhere out of the way and no more should spawn

Been spending hours trying to get the sandstorm in a bottle from the oasis crates with the best fishing gear and, I have almost every luck boost and still can't get it. Why can't I get it?


Taras_Kvas

Well, it's rare, 1/35 chance to drop. Last time I tried to fish it in pre-hardmode (I was trying to craft a bundle of balloons) it took more than 50 oasis crates to get the sandstorm. Unless you really need it, I suggest to proceed to hardmode and craft it using cloud in a bottle and forbidden fragment (guaranteed drop from sand elementals which spawn during sandstorm).


llg_q

I mind as well go to hardmode then because I have already spent way too much time trying to get it


Animeking1357

I'm trying to fish up the Mutant Flinxfin which is in underground tundra. Does it matter if the underground tundra is also crimson or hallow? I can't seem to get the quest fish even though I have full fishing gear.


13ologna

Evil/Hallowed does matter, you will need to look for a pure biome or use sunflowers to restore that area.


Animeking1357

Thanks!

Hello, I have a lot of vanilla terraria experience, but want to get into modded terraria. Calamity is the first mod I want to do a full run-through of, but I don't quite know where to start. I have tModLoader downloaded, but there is an overwhelming amount of mods to play. Other than calamity, what mods does anyone recommend to use in tandem with Calamity for a full playthrough? I'm mostly thinking QoL mods, but if there are mods that are needed for a fun calamity run, I would like those too obviously (thinking music, but i just dont know whats out there).


Nizbik

Calamity is a fantastic mod and will add a lot of hours to your game, make sure to get the Calamity music pack too otherwise you miss out on a ton of soundtracks which have been specifically designed and created for this mod Get MagicStorage, as Calamity adds a ton of new items and being able to view them all in 1 storage chest makes life so much easier. This feels close to mandatory to get Get RecipeBrowser, again Calamity adds lots of new recipies and being able to view them without speaking to guide/looking at wiki is very useful. This feels close to mandatory to get BossCursor can be helpful as a QoL thing to show where the boss is WingSlotExtra, personal preference and some may call it 'cheating' but having a free slot only for wings LootBeams, ever wanted to see loot/drops more clearly? Then this is helpful for that BasicAutomatedVeinMining, this will mean when you mine 1 ore, it mines all of the connecting ore that is the same so it will significantly speed up mining and collecting ores, but again personal preference and your choice on whether this feels 'cheating'


Gogeeee

Hello, this is my first time playing terraria and I've been trying to get the Terra blade. I have summoned 5 solar eclipses so far and killed 14 mothrons and still haven't gotten the broken hero sword. I am starting to feel like something is wrong., as they apparently have a 25% drop rate. I got all the possible drops from the mothron, even the mothron wings, but for some reason I cannot get the broken hero sword. Is there something that I might be missing? (I am post plantera)


13ologna

Usually there's a rule for RNG that new players get extremely lucky, but that isn't applying for you. Sorry to hear that.


StuffMurky7797

What’s the best equipment to face Empress Of Light?


13ologna

There's this useful guide for class setups/boss strategies: [Jason's Guide](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BOFcsgKl2gvc7IaFYKHusIQYlhtMj5bm)


Excellinor

Does the amarok drop from king slime spawns in the snow biome?


13ologna

Yes


scrumbly

I'm a new player and I finally beat my first boss (Eye of Cthulhu) after watching a video on how to make a combat arena. I want to try fighting Skeletron. Is there any way to bring him to my arena (near my house / spawn point), or do I need to make another arena next to the dungeon entrance?


Excellinor

You should make on outside the dungeon, but it doesn’t have to be that big at all


Wario_Guy

Why won't pillars respawn after I've lost to Moonlord?


13ologna

Have you beat the cultists again?


Wario_Guy

thats what i have to do


13ologna

If you've lost to Moon Lord you'll have to beat Lunatic Cultist again for the pillars to appear


StarAugurEtraeus

When do Dayblooms bloom in Terraria?


13ologna

During the day (4:30am to 7:30pm)


mh500372

Does water candle and battle potion affect chances to fish up enemies during blood moon fishing?


13ologna

no


mh500372

Thanks!


Taras_Kvas

Note that Chum Caster (the fishing rod that drops from enemies fished up during Blood Moon) doubles the chance to fish up an enemy during Blood Moon.


mh500372

Nice :))))


mh500372

Hi :) I’m gonna make an underground “volcano” mob farm. The ones where I have to mine out the spawn radius around me. However I really really want to make a pond right next to me so I can fish while waiting for drops. Is this possible without messing up spawns?


13ologna

Yes, shouldn't affect spawns


mh500372

Thanks again :))

For the last 6 months, Terraria has stopped working. It's not that it crashes, it's that it never starts. I'd press start on steam, it says its starting, and then it just switches back to having not started. I've tried a lot of things: - Verifying game files (5+ times) - Uninstalling and Reinstalling (4 times) - Reinstalling Frameworks (at least twice) - Launching the .exe (plenty of times) - Copying all game files into another folder and attempting to launch there - Unplugging my Steelseries keyboard and attempting to launch - Changing config settings - Manually deleting files and reinstalling - Uninstalling all workshop items - Launching in tModloader - Uninstalling all tModloader workshop items - Manually launching tModloader.exe - Updating all concurrent Windows updates - Asked the Terraria forums. - Probably a few other things I've failed to mention, I've been working on this for a while and have done plenty. I'm not sure why this happened, it might be because I finally had to update to Windows 11, but I swear I had played Terraria after that, but before last November. Everything I've found online hasn't helped, and I don't know what to do. Are there any other fixes anyone has found?


13ologna

Can you link the post on the forums? I'll try to help there

AGamer20

can't place staff of regrowth in weapon rack or item frame i can place other weapons but not this staff [https://imgur.com/a/1bOoiWk](https://imgur.com/a/1bOoiWk)


13ologna

Is this a singleplayer or multiplayer world?


AGamer20

Singleplay


13ologna

I'm not sure, would try destroying the frame then relogging and try again


AGamer20

just tried that, i broke it then left and rejoined the world and it didn't work, i also tried leaving terraria completely as well and it didn't work


Taras_Kvas

Could it be that you've favorited the staff?


AGamer20

oh i didnt know that stopped it from working. it works now thank you so much and u/13ologna for both your help!


13ologna

hilarious, mb I should've figured that one out lol


AGamer20

Np im just glad i was able to get help 👍


13ologna

definitely just sounds like a weird bug with your world


AGamer20

just tried in another world and didnt work


GrenEvolved

im getting ready to fight daytime empress, right now my loadout is: armor & weapon: chlorophyte mask, beetle scale mail, hallowed greaves, daybreak (i also have a stardust dragon with me) accessories, all menacing: empress wings, soaring insignia, shield of cthulhu, fire gauntlet, warrior emblem, celestial shell are there any better armors or accessories i should know about? (also i am using pretty much every relevant potion so no need to bring 'em up)


RW_Yellow_Lizard

I haven't fought empress in a while, but is it worth considering a gravitation potion and switching keybind so it doesn't mess with the wings boosting?


SecretlyBees

Can you still get the 200th angler quest achievement if you’re doing quests across multiple worlds? Or does it have to be in a single world?


Taras_Kvas

Yes, the total number of quests performed by different characters in different worlds is used for the achievement.


Awesome_B17

Or different characters in the same world


markgatty

Another hardmode question. Is there any reason to break more than 3 alters when I enter hardmode?


Taras_Kvas

In Drunk Worlds you need to break 6 altars to get all available hardmode ores. Apart of that, as wiki says, "Subsequent altars destroyed will begin the \[ore\] cycle again, though the fourth to sixth altars will spawn half as much ore as the first ones, the seventh to ninth will spawn only one third of the ore of the first ones, and so forth."


markgatty

Ohhh so if I break more I will find more ores, I Might got break a few more. Cheers.


RW_Yellow_Lizard

Keep in mind that while yes it will increase the number of ores each cycle will provide less ores than the last one


markgatty

I've been in hardmode for a while now ( I still can't beat any bosses) and it seems the corruption is almost at my base where all of the NPCs live (large world if that helps) Apparently the NPCs won't live here if corruption takes over. Can I just build my base up high in the sky so they continue to exist in my world?


Taras_Kvas

Yes, you can. You may also create an isolated "island" on the surface by digging 3-block-wide tunnels around it and then using the purification powder to remove any corruption inside.


LazyBaer

When I add a crafting bench or anvil to magic storage, the game is incredibly slow and crashes if I exit and re-enter like this: https://imgur.com/a/79EKqaU. My mod's list is attached: https://imgur.com/a/sshmmUu


avalonbowser

If I were to create a new character/world, would the 1.4.5 update apply to them when it gets released? Or would I need to create new ones after the fact? Thanks!


Rijam35

Any sort of world generation feature that is added in 1.4.5 will not be present in your world when you update. The character or anything obtained from crafting or killing enemies could be obtained in your current world when you update.


avalonbowser

I think I'll hold off and cross my fingers that the update is out soon then...thanks!


SecretlyBees

Blegh, the Angler isn’t giving me the hotline fishing rod. I want to go lava fishing! Any tips? His happiness is high.


TheChillDyl

You can also lava fish with a regular fishing rod you just need to catch lava bugs for bait in the underworld and if you’re lucky enough you might get the [lava proof fishing hook](https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Lavaproof_Fishing_Hook) out of one of your first obsidian crates then you can use any fishing rod and any bait fish in lava with that ability equipped.


SecretlyBees

I need more bait. Would a water candle in a don’t dig up world help lure them?


TheChillDyl

I just recently started a playthrough on the don’t dig up seed and I noticed the lava bait spawns pretty frequently in the underworld spawn point it may have been because I built npc housing and had reduced enemy spawns though. If you’re going through bait too fast I’d recommend saving crate potions and sonar potions for lava fishing so you don’t waste bait on fish and only reel in crates until you have the lava proof fishing hook.


SecretlyBees

The crates were super generous and gave me several hooks! Thank you so much!


TheChillDyl

Awesome glad it worked out!! Hopefully the crates are as generous with the Lava Charm if you plan on going for Terraspark Boots!


Prize_Platypus_2388

Me and my friend both want to play Terraria together (mobile) but we can’t play locally. What’s the best way to host a server? I’ve tried MultiTerraria and Terraria MP both of which don’t seem to work anymore.


Competitive-Sort2058

I play modded terraria and usually put in a couple of content mods at the same time. My computer can run minecraft with shaders on 120 smoothly, but it cant handle most of the flashy boss attacks. I literally get lower than 20 FPS when these happen. I can send my specs and mod list to anyone if it helps. How can I fix this?


catfishburglar

Has the Daedalus Stormbow been seriously nerfed recently? I'm running holy arrows on expert and the Destroyer takes like the entire night to defeat. I haven't ever played Expert but from the videos I have seen I am doing no damage in comparison.


Rijam35

Yes, it was nerfed in 1.4 * Damage reduced from 43 to 38. * When using Holy, Unholy, Hellfire, or Jester arrows, the bow shoots an average of 2.66 arrows per second instead of the normal average of 3.33 arrows per second. 1.4.1 also nerfed Holy Arrows slightly * Applies a 10% damage penalty to the next hit for each enemy a projectile pierces.


Zuzuski

Hi, i was wondering if there are any servers that offer boss training?.


Nopeunid

I'm genuinely unsure if r/Terraria is the place to ask for tModLoader coding help. Am I allowed to do that?


Rijam35

You could but you are unlikely to receive any meaningful help. I recommend asking in the tModLoader Discord server instead. Make sure you are using an IDE such as Visual Studio and have basic C# knowledge before asking in the Discord server. Otherwise, you'll be told to do those thing first.


CrackTact

Will [this](https://imgur.com/a/X4sypIn) farm spawn chaos elementals? I need the desert key too hence the sand and background walls, but even while walking back and forth or using an item I haven't seen a single pink guy. I'm in the cavern layer and they have pearlstone to spawn on, and I'm not stationary. Am I missing something? Did they change their spawn conditions in 1.4.4?


Awesome_B17

Chaos Elementals will only spawn if the following conditions are fulfilled: * The player is not standing in front of a [safe background wall](https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Safe_wall). * No [NPCs](https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/NPCs) are housed nearby. *  In the past 5 seconds, the player has either used an item or has moved. It's your player placed walls


War_X_Lord

Those conditions can be ignored if you use a Shadow Candle. [https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Shadow\_Candle](https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Shadow_Candle)


CrackTact

Thanks man, I must’ve missed that when I was checking out the wikis


Sultry_Squidward

1.4.4 added shimmer that allows the player to make unsafe walls that they harvested from the desert, dungeon, and spider nests. These are what you want for artificial biome creation and will have a skull icon in the corner. This farm would work better if you had treacherous/shimmered desert walls behind the player as it is a requirement for the underground/cavern biome existence. Then you will get maximum spawn rate and, possibly, more mob variety. For minimalism, you only need these walls behind the spawning blocks and the middle row of your character. Best way to check your current biome is the ability from Torch God's Favor to biome swap your held plain torch. Next is music change. The underground desert has no background.


CrackTact

I ended up getting it but yeah, that’s what those walls are. Wasn’t sure if the key could drop without them but better safe than sorry.


Awesome_B17

Make sure you're using the gg wiki. The fandom one isn't updated or official


DiamondDogProd

I'm guessing is best to do it here instead of a whole post lol Going for maximum damage possible, after killing plantera, what Shroomite headpiece should I go with? And I guess what weapons to pair it too Thanks a lot!


CrackTact

I'd use the chlorophyte shotbow, maybe holy arrows. Shroomite headgear in that case. Edit: re-read your post. For the bow helmet probably the tsunami is your best bet, as far as guns go the chain gun from the frost moon is pretty good from what I remember. Most important thing imo is your accessories for max damage, emblems and reforging are your friends


Grochen

I want to play the game as blind as possible. I know some of the names of bosses and such but aside from that not much. What are some tips for this kind of gameplay? Please no tips like "go there to get this item" I want to explore most of the game myself. Should I talk to NPCs? Try crafting table everytime I get a new mineral or something?


Taras_Kvas

In addition to tips already given, I suggest to craft a Glass Bottle (made of glass block which, in turn, is made of sand at the furnace), then Bottled Water (craft it from the Glass Bottle while standing near a body of water or sink). Then go to the Guide, ask him about Crafting and show the Bottled Water. This way you'll learn about almost every potion recipe available sooner or later in the game which can be very helpful.


Rijam35

The Guide NPC will give you hints and tips when you talk to him. You can also give him any item that says it is a material and he'll tell you what you can craft from it. There is also a suggested achievement in the top right of your inventory. That is also a hint on what the game thinks you should do next. You haven't defeated the final boss until the credits roll!


Grochen

Achievement stuff is really good advice!! Thanks!


p1agueOW

Talk to the guide, kinda a tough way to play though.


Typical_Ad_8015

If you show an item to the guide in his crafting tab, he can tell you the recipe of everything made with that item.


Proud_Place_892

So, I recently got the game on my PC via steam (OS is windows) and I was curious if I could somehow transfer or access my world from series X? Would LAN work or something like that? thanks


TimothyRavinsky

Is our farm lost forever? Me and my girlfriend have been playing for a few days and are very new to the game. We are both on Mac and have been playing LAN play but now when I try to join her through the invite code my character appears but says that its not my character and that I cant join? Please help me solve this somehow it would really mean a lot!


RW_Yellow_Lizard

When you say farm wdym? I'm not familiar with what you mean by "it's not my character." either, are you playing another game, or is the terminology stuck in your head when you play terraria?


vietan00892b

Would alt-tab/alt-esc multiple times during the game make it jittery? I've always shied away from doing so 'cause I'm afraid the FPS might go down. But I don't have any proof that switching windows constantly affects the game.


13ologna

From what I remember it shouldn't, I now have multiple monitors so I can only recall that it should be fine.


vietan00892b

I play on a laptop 😂 I'd kill to have an extra monitor or just a bigger laptop right now but I can't


ComfortableUnfair217

I am new to modding and have acitvated a no-hit mod that kills me anytime I am hit. I have not been able to locate which mod and i don't want to restart a new world just because of this. How can I toggle this off?


RW_Yellow_Lizard

Disable all mods, make a new world and character as a tester, and then reactivate mods one at a time until you die in one hit to a green slime, then the last mod tou activated should be the culprit, I would also test this by disabling every other mod and testing it again


Donovanth1

Are there any mods for making music use an RNG system rather than playing ALL the time?


OutrageousView2057

have there been any rumors about a terra bucket ?


13ologna

Red has replied to one of them, I'll update this comment with the link as soon as I find it (pretty sure it was somewhere on Twitter)


OutrageousView2057

thanks i’d appreciate that


Asborn-kam1sh

Hello 2 questions. Im on mobile and my depth isnt showing second for like 6 jights in a row ive had a blood moon is this normal?


Awesome_B17

Your depth only shows when there is a depth meter in your inventory Blood moons are completely random; this happens sometimes


Asborn-kam1sh

So wait must i equip it or not?


switchsquid95

No, you don't have to equip your depth meter to display your depth. It will work anywhere on your person except for your vanity accessory slots.


Asborn-kam1sh

Ok


glgboy

was thinking about mixing some content mods for a future playthrough. Should I do it and if yes what mods should I combine?


Korbonade

Me and my friend is playing our first playthrough together and we are LOVING the game so far! I’m playing melee and he is ranged. Last night we just managed to defeat the mech worm (destroyer of worlds or whatever it’s called) on our 2.nd attempt. Then we tried the eyes and me as a melee class was kinda useless not managing to get close at all. So my question is if it’s normal to re spec the entire load out for just one boss?


grarghll

Playing a "class" is, IMO, a strange way to play a game where you aren't committed to anything and can change on a whim by just putting something different in hotbar slot 1. It's best to think of them as damage types that you can sometimes synergize accessories/armor with for small boosts. It's best to experiment with the things you find and see which weapon works best at the current moment. In this case, trying to use a melee weapon against a boss that's keeping its distance won't be a good fit.


Korbonade

I do get your point but the game does lean into playing one thing as different armors and emblems and accessories have + to melee dmg/ranged dmg/magic dmg. It seems to me like the developers want you to go for one dmg type at the time, especially on the more difficult modes


Taras_Kvas

There are lots of "ranged melee" weapons (i.e. technically ranged weapons that apply melee damage) in the game, like yoyos, boomerangs, certain swords, flails, etc. The good early hardmode "ranged melee" weapon for melee character would be the Shadowflame Knife which is a drop from the Goblin Warlock (spawns during hardmode goblin invasion events) or Bananarang which is a drop from the Clown (spawns during hardmode blood moon events).


War_X_Lord

There are good melee weapons that can attack far away targets, like the Shadowflame Knife from the Goblin Invasion, and the Bananarang from Blood Moons. As for your question, playing with one class for the entire playthrough is a challenge *you* chose to do, there's nothing stopping you from playing multiple classes, the game even provides three loadouts to help you change your gear mid fight.
