crude geode
#

instead of just pissing on it and skipping over it

pine star
#

and that's what thomas is trying to do in DD

cobalt pewter
#

To be honest there's a serious lack of mini structures that you can find in the middle of excruciating mining

#

And no, shrines don't count

#

They don't even spawn all the time

sand umbra
#

and Calamity can't add any of those because it goes against the idea that pre-boss shouldn't exist, which is the idea that Calamity pushes currently

hot zephyr
#

Methinks you should suggest adding new content/positive changes to pre-boss instead of nerfing one of the only reasons to visit planetoids

eternal escarp
#

tbh, as much as world gen is prolly a pain, small structures can prolly just make pre boss mining so much better

tawny garden
#

tbf Pre-boss is the slowest part of the game with the most deaths so I don't like it too much either
the player character is too weak

sand umbra
crude geode
#

You already get a shit ton of life crystals from planetoids, as well as some free biomes if you're lucky.

pine star
#

As Thomas said, in the early game, you have the mobility of a disabled snail

sand umbra
#

have I somehow not made myself clear enough

pine star
#

And that is terrible

dapper violet
#

I’m still seeing zero justification for why or how removing ore makes pre-boss better, all i see is “Just do it because i don’t like people getting to fight desert scourge before 6 hours in”

eternal escarp
#

maybe make the starter bag include items that can just skip the annoying part of pre-boss? maybe give you an aglet or copper armour or smthn

cobalt pewter
#

I'm pretty sure starter bag is like

#

Quite thicc already

eternal escarp
#

fair

cobalt pewter
#

I'm surprised the bag can store that

#

Then again

pine star
#

Starter Bag can give you Hermes boots with the crafting recipe

cobalt pewter
#

This is Terraria

eternal escarp
#

starter void HyperFailure

pine star
#

Where people eat glass

brittle nexus
#

why do people have a vendetta with preboss

eternal escarp
#

tbh no idea

cobalt pewter
eternal escarp
#

i like pre boss after i get a decent weapon

brittle nexus
#

it's fine how it is right now imo

crude geode
#

What pre-boss?

pine star
#

Thomas is lawful evil for a reason

brittle nexus
#

cause king slime might as well not exist, doesn't give you shit

eternal escarp
#

the only thing i hate about pre boss is getting wood HDfailure

tawny garden
sand umbra
#

it's actually absurd that I had to explain this in the sugg itself

crude geode
#

All I know is grinding wulfrum until I kill the boss desert scourge

sand umbra
#

but then again this is sugg corner

#

there are like 3 and a half people that know how to use their reading comprehension skills

pine star
#

OHHHHHHH

#

I get it now

eternal escarp
#

i mean, i do agree with that point, yeah

hot zephyr
#

Y'know Thomas

pine star
#

this is a phase 1 of a multiple phase sugg

eternal escarp
#

but like

#

pre boss isnt that bad

crude geode
#

Am I one of those people Thomas

eternal escarp
#

imo, atleast

crude geode
#

what pre-boss

sand umbra
#

okay it's more than 3 and a half but either way I honestly shouldn't have expected this to actually get across in under 15 minutes

crude geode
#

you see a pre-boss around here? All I see is wulfrum, desert scourge, victide

pine star
hot zephyr
#

Your attitude does not help you further your suggestion

pine star
#

spirit has the best

sand umbra
#

okay

pine star
#

And zero is larger than a negative number

sand umbra
#

and that has stopped me in the past, when, again?

hot zephyr
#

I mean

crude geode
#

Thomas' attitude has always been his defining feature

pine star
#

Maybe this is why you are cursed to never have stars?

#

idk

sand umbra
#

because I'm not recallin' any times that backlash here has ever stopped me from suggesting things

#

all it does is give me a good image of how I can expect the sugg to fare in the way of stars

pine star
#

This boat will not sail well

crude geode
sand umbra
#

and even then it's not an accurate estimate because most people that star suggs do not look in this channel

hot zephyr
#

I'm saying you can suggest things without verbally degrading people

tawny garden
hot zephyr
#

"there are like 3 and a half people that know how to use their reading comprehension skills"

tawny garden
#

m

dapper coral
#

let's refrain from that

sand umbra
#

m
apologies for that, just. me getting a bit too heated, as always

#

apparently that still happens from time to time
now, whether it's somethin' that's been buildin' up for months or just a spur of the moment burst of irritation in this case, I got no clue

pine star
#

Apology accepted
Just don't say shit like that again

#

Or try not to

sand umbra
#

yeah it's probably a mix of both

#

this is far from the first time I've had to fight tooth and nail to get a point across

#

and God help me it will not be the last

crude geode
#

I think the suggestion makes sense, especially when you consider game design, but phrasing and tone would go a long way to get it across efficiently in sugg discussion.

civic notch
#

You see, I usually admire standing your ground, but on that suggestion of all things man.

sand umbra
#

tone has never been my strong suit, we've established this

civic notch
#

We don’t need more grinding in the early gameplay loop

crude geode
#

I think it makes more sense when you actually view the suggestion.

#

reminds me of writing essays in school, Thomas' "response paragraph" to a invisible complaint

civic notch
#

If you want to spend time getting really good stuff

#

Then do it

#

Play death

#

Idk

sand umbra
#

Death does nothing but make earlygame more awful than it already is although I'm pretty sure I already pitched something for that (making weather effects not glorified instagibs)

civic notch
#

But forcing everyone to play early boss’s really long and boring ore fetch fuckfest is kinda meh

hot zephyr
#

The suggestion makes sense, but I feel the order is backwards. Instead of removing the skip first, then adding new content down the line it should be the other way around. Add new content to make pre-boss more interesting and then remove the skips.

sand umbra
#

but that inherently keeps the design ceiling low

crude geode
civic notch
#

The design ceiling is already low

#

It’s pre-boss

crude geode
#

It being so easy to skip is part of the problem.

sand umbra
#

in the presence of anything that allows you to skip a significant portion of the game, you cannot add anything that would require more work to find than the method of skipping that portion of the game

crude geode
#

It's the exact reason why late hm progression is shit.

sand umbra
#

I didn't want to suggest removing it right away because you are correct in that Calamity in its current state could use some ways to speed up pre-boss

civic notch
#

No, you can.

#

You can very easily do so.

sand umbra
#

well okay

crude geode
#

Even if you added more pre-boss content, nobody is going to care unless you prevent the easy skips.

sand umbra
#

you can

civic notch
#

You aren’t being held captive by the chains of design

sand umbra
#

the question is "will it matter?"

civic notch
#

Will people be upset?

crude geode
#

Afterall, we see an example in Late HM.

civic notch
#

Yeah.

#

That’s inevitable though

pine star
#

And here is the elephant in the room:

Reaver Shark

sand umbra
#

because at the end of the day, you've fucked yourself over either way
if you keep it slow, people stop caring and don't wanna do that shit anymore
if you keep it fast it gets really boring to replay really quickly because it's the same thing every time

#

and you might say "why not strike a balance between the two?", and that's a valid question mind you

the answer to that question is this:
"the suggestion that would expedite striking that balance is tremendously too grand-scale for me to pitch myself"

civic notch
#

If it’s so grand scale maybe you shouldn’t suggest anything if we have to settle with less

hot zephyr
#

We've had grander suggestions pass

sand umbra
#

you don't understand

civic notch
#

We just got a huge rage suggestion pass

hot zephyr
#

Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll land with the stars

sand umbra
#

Terraria's earlygame is so inherently fucked on so many levels that you'd basically have to rebuild it to strike the aforementioned balance

civic notch
#

So what

sand umbra
#

I don't think it's my place to sugg something that big
I've done the research on this I literally intend to do this for my own mod
it's a massive task

crude geode
#

I think the reason why pre-boss is garbage is the exact reason why Late HM is garbage. There's no reason to do anything like go mine or explore or anything, because you can disregard it so easily. Why bother killing the bosses that are pre-cultist when you can just kill cultist and get better gear?

Why go mining or exploring when you can just kill wulfrum enemies or go to space, and then kill Desert Scourge for better gear?

civic notch
#

Do we just stop trying

#

Because it’s hard

#

Come on man

sand umbra
#

no
we take smaller steps to accomplish a larger goal

civic notch
#

This is a step yes

dapper violet
#

the statement “Any content added to make pre-boss better will be ignored as long as you can still skip to platinum with planetoids” is fair and reasonable

However: I do not play terraria for the pre-boss experience. I do not play calamity for the preboss experience. I do not play any mod for the preboss experience. Skipping in any form is welcome and enjoyed.

civic notch
#

But it’s a step that should’ve come later

sand umbra
#

it's like making true melee as a concept viable again
have to take it one step at a time

pine star
#

So that one cannot just kill LC before PBG/Rav?

hot zephyr
#

Desert Scourge was literally implemented to speed up pre-boss because Fab thought it was slow. The pre-boss skips in this mod are intentional, and it's almost futile to get them changed.

dapper violet
#

there was actually a sugg for that, make LC scale based on how many bosses you’ve skipped

crude geode
#

the only good late hm sugg

crude geode
#

thank god

#

I was going to scream

civic notch
#

Yeah I just starred it lol

crude geode
#

good

pine star
tawny garden
#

see, the chonky sugg strat worked

civic notch
#

Omw to remove the star taxevasion

tawny garden
hot zephyr
pine star
frozen hornet
#

Lol I had a ss of the sugg at 199 and was waiting for it to get 200

distant gyro
#

199 hdflr

tawny garden
#

Altix

tawny garden
#

why

civic notch
#

Oh lmfao that wasn’t me

crude geode
civic notch
#

I’m still starred

#

Someone else removed

cobalt pewter
#

lole

#

this is kinda hilarious

distant gyro
#

welp, it's not being sent then

hot zephyr
#

begin the mass unstarring!

distant gyro
crude geode
#

anyways, hoping that sugg doesn't die from Altix removing it, if that sugg can reach 200 stars, start suggesting your big grandiose nonsense Thomas

distant gyro
#

whoops now it's 198

pine star
#

It's 200 again

cobalt pewter
#

keep ds as a method to skip pre boss, but still try to implement more interesting stuff in preboss so that ppl who skip it can feel bad

#

gaming

crude geode
#

Late HM shows us that doesn't work

civic notch
#

What about making like

dapper violet
#

your brain on death mode

frozen hornet
civic notch
#

A pre-boss ankh shield

pine star
#

How about if you kill DS without finding the more interesting stuff in preboss, the game calls you a lazy fucker

civic notch
#

Not like an actual shield

crude geode
#

SCal comes down from the sky and slaps you, instagibbing you

civic notch
#

But a long crafting recipe pre-boss

sand umbra
#

trying something a little different

dapper violet
#

There’s interesting stuff in preboss?

pine star
frozen hornet
#

I can imagine Xeroc just saying "oi idiot you missed the best part"

hot zephyr
#

boohoo I don't want to play the worst part of the game!

cobalt pewter
pine star
#

Better to gaslight and accuse the player themself

tawny garden
pine star
sand umbra
#

going for a compromise, essentially. it's either this or I just sugg to backport the ore gear price reductions from 1.4.1

crude geode
sand umbra
#

PBG isn't interesting

#

come at me motherfucker

pine star
#

Cursed Being, CURSE THOMAS NOW

cobalt pewter
#

pbg is just

#

thicc, infected queen bee

sand umbra
#

(I have a vendetta against PBG for many reasons)

pine star
civic notch
#

Imagine making a part of the game so boring that veterans of the game do intentionally skip it

tawny garden
crude geode
#

what you think I can curse people? I only exude natural cursed energy myself
indeed. along with the plague in general.

cobalt pewter
#

thicc as in fucking beeg

pine star
#

oh

crude geode
#

but that's a sugg for a different day

pine star
frozen hornet
#

The plague is cancer,therefore pbg is cancer

crude geode
sand umbra
#

mhm
a topic for another time and sugg

crude geode
#

anyways

sand umbra
#

right now, the focus is making planetoids less cringe

#

and more fascinating to visit

crude geode
#

about the sugg nobody has talked about

#

boss summoning items lame, make more interesting things

sand umbra
#

(and also Feedza's boss summoning sugg I guess)

crude geode
#

I wanna infect a queen bee and transform it into PBG

fossil finch
#

calamity qol features™️ make me want not to cheat through boring slow early game
thanks calamity qol features™️

frozen hornet
#

make ravager spawn in a random lab and make it's way through the world

cobalt pewter
#

if treated more interesting, even summoning items can be a bit more interesting given they don't use the exact same usestyle

sand umbra
#

Boss Zen should be a vanilla fucking thing

#

don't @ me

crude geode
#

@sand umbra

A Thomas

Failure

dapper violet
#

man i love dying to anahita and levi and having to wait 10 minutes for another ??? to spawn

cobalt pewter
#

e.g. something I tried with my little wip mod is a living wood themed boss that's spawned with a bell that used by swinging it

civic notch
#

Hey what happened to aerialite’s implementation

cobalt pewter
#

just as an example

frozen hornet
civic notch
#

The uh

fossil finch
civic notch
#

How aerialite was talked about to spawn in sky islands?

sand umbra
#

oh you mean the sugg I made a while back where Aerialite should spawn in the sky?

crude geode
#

that was a sugg by thomas or smthn

sand umbra
#

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh lemme check

frozen hornet
#

For me the ??? spawns right after I kill the boss

crude geode
#

I copied it at some point to make the theming in general less stupid

civic notch
#

No I remember Fab talking about it

sand umbra
#

(unrelated but Cryonic metal sugg has been approved. I have a chance pog)

frozen hornet
#

But that might just be me accidentally activating demon trophy

crude geode
#

Demon trophy is so fuckin weird

civic notch
#

Ah here we go

cobalt pewter
#

byeah, I'm generally down with more boss summonings that isn't just "hehe hold this shit up and boss spawns"

civic notch
sand umbra
pine star
#

Thanks

#

Seven devs like it

tawny garden
distant gyro
#

the suggestion that does not fit on one mobile screen

sand umbra
#

riddle me this
if there aren't enough other blocks up there to justify Aerialite spawning up there

cobalt pewter
#

I should probably mention OD, as much bafflingly annoying the bloodworms to get, it's still fairly unique on the scope of calamity

sand umbra
#

why in the everloving fuck do Exodium Clusters spawn up there

distant gyro
crude geode
civic notch
#

Because aerialite was gonna spawn in clouds

distant gyro
#

unless you count those randoms as devs

pine star
#

oh

#

I'm gullible as hell

tawny garden
#

once a 👍 is placed everybody can add it

distant gyro
cobalt pewter
#

number of reactions past the stars are irrelevant

pine star
fossil finch
#

exodium clusters are space thing

crude geode
fossil finch
#

because

#

space

#

and lord moon

sand umbra
#

Exodium Clusters are legit the same fuckin' thing as what I'm pitching

fossil finch
#

why the fuck do exodium clusters exist anyway

sand umbra
#

if Aerialite can't spawn up there neither can Exodium

tawny garden
#

Exodium spawns in way less quantity tho

crude geode
#

Sky islands are noticeably smaller than planetoids, and there generally is a lot less of them

civic notch
#

That’s not true

#

Exodium is used for a lot less

sand umbra
#

Exodium veins are fucking huge what

#

it's just that they're used for like 2 and a half items

pine star
#

Exodium veins are the same size as Titanium ones to me

cobalt pewter
#

just make clouds

actually replaced by aerialite ores

#

and cease clouds in recipes

ashen warren
#

exodiums don't have a lot of use

frozen hornet
#

Huge? Last time I looked for exodium there were like clumps of 3-4 in the huge planetoid

distant gyro
#

Exodium is a big ass wip that will (not) secretly have more use in 2030

crude geode
distant gyro
#

remember what update it came out on

sand umbra
#

alright well that's a decade away so

crude geode
#

I’ll set my timer

civic notch
#

Make the cloud elemental pre hardmode but lose the tornado attack until hardmode, and make it only drop clouds

crude geode
#

Weirdchamp, prehm elemental

civic notch
#

That way getting clouds doesn’t suck

dapper violet
#

clouds drop in sufficient amount from harpies

pine star
civic notch
#

Wait clouds drop from harpies

#

Tf

sand umbra
#

Harpies don't drop Cloud Blocks normally no

#

that's another mod

dapper violet
#

oh oops

cobalt pewter
#

also apparently exodium is able to be crafted, so why does it spawn in the first place

crude geode
cobalt pewter
#

I'm

#

confused

crude geode
#

In case you run out :)

sand umbra
#

anywho yeah
why is it that Exodium is allowed to spawn in space but Aerialite isn't

crude geode
#

Bc aerialite is sky related and not space related Thomas

sand umbra
#

that seems really fucking scuffed

cobalt pewter
#

and even then, wiki shows that exodium uses each of the lunar fragments instead of, idk, Galactica Singularity? The entire reason the item exists?

#

like

frozen hornet
#

Sky islands are in the sky?

sand umbra
cobalt pewter
tawny garden
#

what if
a planetoid made entirely of aerialite

civic notch
#

Because exodium is needed in much smaller quantities and when exodium spawns in the planetoids the whole planetoids will look unnatural

pine star
ashen warren
#

aerialite meteor HDfailure

sand umbra
#

(imo Aerialite as a whole needs an overhaul because it's kinda all over the place but I can't be assed to suggest something like that)

crude geode
#

do it you won’t

#

Rage got a sugg that passed

#

Do it

tawny garden
#

Aerialite is one of the most ancient things in this mod

crude geode
pine star
sand umbra
#

it's fucking ancient right

crude geode
#

More ancient than you

sand umbra
#

one of many relics of a bygone age

civic notch
#

Honestly aerialite for me is one of the better parts of progression

cobalt pewter
#

thomas boomer confirmed

tawny garden
#

it was added in [[1.0]]

red stormBOT
distant gyro
#

it is in fact a 1.0 item

sand umbra
#

I mean it's good where it is progression-wise it's just
design- and thematics-wise it's a total fuck

crude geode
#

Indeed

frozen hornet
#

Kill a random brain/w o r m s and get sky ore that spawns underground

crude geode
sand umbra
#

it's a sky-themed ore that spawns deep underground after beating up evil bosses 2: electric boogaloo

#

explain to me how that's consistent thematically

frozen hornet
#

What's the first?

sand umbra
#

EoW/BoC

#

2 being HM/Perfs

frozen hornet
#

What

#

Demonite/Crimtane is sky based?

ashen warren
#

why not just rework the vanilla armors into something that can actually compete with the mod's armor cough molten armor

frozen hornet
#

That's new

sand umbra
#

no

dapper violet
#

I’m curious why perfs/hive spawn air metal anyways

are they freeing the spirit of the people who lived in the sky islands

crude geode
#

Nope

civic notch
#

Don’t even try

#

The lore doesn’t mention anything

crude geode
#

Nobody lived in those islands, silly

sand umbra
#

oh yeah Aerialite also has no lore at all attached to it

#

or any explanation in any respect for that matter

crude geode
#

@sand umbra suggest a rework of it

sand umbra
#

it's just "evil bosses 2: electric boogaloo die, cavern-layer ore sky-themed go brrrrrrr"

dapper violet
#

prehardmode wings go brr

sand umbra
#

THE WINGS AREN'T EVEN ON-TIER

#

THEY TAKE BONES

#

FOR NO FUCKIN' REASON

cobalt pewter
frozen hornet
#

bird wings have bones but that's for another time

crude geode
#

You gotta have something to support those wings with no magical souls of flight

#

:)

dapper violet
#

yeah i feel like they wanted to make prehardmode wings and then just worked backwards into a whole armor tier and put it in mid-prehardmode

cobalt pewter
sand umbra
#

okay but they're still disconnected from the rest of the set

tawny garden
#

and they're not even that good tbh

crude geode
cobalt pewter
#

Skyline dies to BoB most of the time

tawny garden
#

not to justify them being moved later "due to balancing"

cobalt pewter
#

hell, skyline dies to yellow horseshoe balloon to me vs wof

sand umbra
#

Souls of Flight are a fucking crutch recipe-wise and that's that

#

thank you for coming to my TED talk

crude geode
#

Suggestion: Replace all souls of flight wing recipes with bones. For realism :)

cobalt pewter
#

Souls of Flight is just Red's troll to force us into dying to Wyverns

unreal viper

Very short for a Thomas talk

unreal viper
sand umbra
#

actually you know what
fuck the planetoid sugg
this is more important to me

eternal escarp
#

wait

crude geode
#

Fuck pre-boss, aerialite must be reworked

eternal escarp
#

ive missed alot

#

what happened

crude geode
#

Thomas arrived

civic notch
#

Every single material has been called material bloat at one point here swear to god

eternal escarp
#

well i know that, what happaned that he is removing his planetoid suggest?

sand umbra
#

well no

unreal viper
#

Remove materials

sand umbra
#

but I am willing to give up a few stars on that one

unreal viper
tawny garden
sand umbra
#

making Aerialite not stupid is important to me

crude geode
#

Aerialite ore is just material bloat

eternal escarp
#

remove tin, its bloat

cobalt pewter
#

Calamity is a bloat

tawny garden
sand umbra
#

and honestly if shit like a Rage rework can get through I can absolutely get larger suggs through

cobalt pewter
#

go back to vanilla heathens

eternal escarp
#

terraria is just a video game bloat tbh

sand umbra
#

letsfuckinggooooooooo

crude geode
#

Leviathan is bloat

civic notch
#

To shame philo

#

To shame

sleek turret
#

remove 1.2 vanilla ores

eternal escarp

video games are just bloat

sleek turret

they bloat.

remove video games

Video games are entertainment bloat

cobalt pewter

we don't need life

crude geode

Entertainment is just mind bloat

reject 1.2 ores, return to 1.1 ores.

remove bloat from TBOI please i hate this fucking boss

crude geode
#

remove enjoyment

cobalt pewter

we all now return to monke

crude geode
dapper coral
eternal escarp
#

i would but no

crude geode
#

we’re waiting on Thomas’ epic new aerialite suggestion

cobalt pewter
unreal viper
#

E p i c

eternal escarp
#

tbh i see quite a few of materials actually being bloat
my biggest material bloated is all the vanilla feathers tbh
but sadly thats not anything we can really fix

dapper violet
#

i’d even accept something middling like “the harpy people were driven to the sky islands by the corruption/crimson and that’s why the hm/perf spawns aero”

civic notch
#

Hey speaking of the feedzuh suggestion. I do wanna say that Anahita is extremely annoying to refight and that spawning items, while not unique, do save so much time

crude geode
#

Zerg exists

cobalt pewter
#

indeed

#

but I'm primarily implying in the case of non-farm situations

civic notch
#

Even then

eternal escarp
#

tbh leviathan and anahita aare like, the only boss without an item afaik

cobalt pewter
#

when you'd naturally encounter these bosses and all

dapper violet
#

i don’t know about hive mind because i never do corruption worlds, but perforator has exceptionally edgy and blood kill death gore themed weapons that drop from it, and the armor being all air related is a little bizzare

eternal escarp
#

deus has a beacon after you kill him, and OD is just keep fishing, which u can buy later or

#

more unique summons, with an item available after defeated them is great imo

cobalt pewter
#

yeah, summoning items in the case of farming is fine

eternal escarp
#

anahita&levi is the only example of that no happening iirc

cobalt pewter
#

though I personally prefer after you successfully killed the boss the first time

eternal escarp
#

which is whats already happening

#

which is good

cobalt pewter
#

oh lordy, my sugg is squeezed between both of tom's

sand umbra
#

feedza sugg sandwich lets goooooooooo

crude geode
#

ara ara

cobalt pewter
#

n o

civic notch
#

Fab already said he isn’t doin that tho

eternal escarp
#

aint doing what?

#

summon item for levi?

civic notch
#

Moving aerialite up

sleek turret
#

ok can agree with this sugg

civic notch
#

To higher

eternal escarp
#

oh

sand umbra
civic notch
#

I can agree with the suggestion but fab just said no

sleek turret
#

moving aerialite to the heavens.

sand umbra
#

if Exodium can spawn up there Aerialite absolutely can

eternal escarp
#

i mean it is a suggestion, and they can deny it

#

thats how suggestions work

crude geode
#

It’s not invalid by any means

eternal escarp

Exodium is a different beast Thomas

#

Not really

dapper violet
#

it has to get stars to even get to the rejection point

cobalt pewter
#

actually hm / perf actually kinda do this farm spawning thing

#

you initially start by finding their cysts

sleek turret
#

make aerialite exclusive to fishing ech

cobalt pewter
#

and after either killing the bosses or getting enough blood samples (in case of perf), you can get their direct summoning items

sand umbra
#

added some alternative options

civic notch
#

It is. Exodium isn’t used as much and therefore can spawn in an area where if it bugs out, you can still get enough for what you need

hot zephyr
#

Convert aerialite to exodium by right clicking galactica singularity on it pogger

eternal escarp
#

yes

cobalt pewter
eternal escarp
#

cobalt pewter
sand umbra
#

Aerialite becomes Beta Exodium

...honestly I'd be down

civic notch
#

Because once again

#

Convenience

#

Lol

eternal escarp
#

tbh id love a good reason to explore planetoids

civic notch
#

I don’t wanna craft shit me wanna mine

eternal escarp
#

oh no

civic notch
eternal escarp
#

mah quality of liif

crude geode
#

aerialite is what Astrum Deus is made of when DoG eats him

eternal escarp
#

tbh crafting exodium is faster then mining it imo

cobalt pewter
#

thonkin

civic notch
#

I’ve always just easily flew up there and mined it

eternal escarp
earnest cape
#

Touhou emotes LETSFUCKINGGOOOO

eternal escarp
#

id have an abundance of luminite after ML next update anyways

civic notch
#

It’s simple, takes no time, and I can use the fragments for other thing

cobalt pewter
#

crafting exodium is easier technically, it goes into play mostly post-polter, and you can easily farm both deus and ml like pests at that point

eternal escarp
#

^

sleek turret
#

yeah

eternal escarp
#

and agian

frozen hornet
#

Should exodium take galacticas instead of the 4 fragments?

cobalt pewter
eternal escarp
#

luminite will be WAY easier to get next uipdate

eternal escarp
#

why does it not?

earnest cape
#

Mining for exodium wields more and is costless

#

Imo

eternal escarp
#

whos gonna suggest

cobalt pewter
#

probably oversight

frozen hornet
#

Same with lunar hook and celestial sigil

#

Me or someone idk

eternal escarp
#

HF

#

use this image

cobalt pewter
#

lunar hook and celestial sigil are mainly vanilla items

crude geode
#

Lunar hook and celestial sigil are from vanilla

sleek turret
sand umbra
#

Lunar Hook not taking Singularities makes sense

#

same with Sigil

eternal escarp
#

have fun

cobalt pewter
eternal escarp
#

exodium doesnt

#

the rest do yeah

frozen hornet
#

Thamks

eternal escarp
#

np

#

wait

sand umbra
#

(the real problem is that because of how crafting works in this game you cannot deconstruct Singularities back into fragments)

eternal escarp
#

NEBULA IS CUT OFF

#

WAIT

crude geode
#

big oof

eternal escarp
#

fixed

#

or tbh

#

either one works

swift wharf
#

meld do be weird

crude geode
#

Allow us to grind galactica singularities at the ancient manipulator into fragments

swift wharf
#

is meld a lunar fragment too? nobody knows

sleek turret
#

meld is uhh, weird.

sand umbra
#

it is and isn't

#

it's wonky

crude geode
#

don’t bring it up

dapper violet
#

meld is ground up rogue powder

sleek turret
#

Meld is just, there.

swift wharf
earnest cape
#

Meld is technically

sleek turret
#

For the rogue people, I guess.

crude geode
#

Snort the powder, accept it’s existence

earnest cape
#

Snort cocaine

cobalt pewter
#

Meld is intended to be classless somewhat?

swift wharf
#

well, i like that meld is somewhat unique so it's cool

cobalt pewter
#

I can't remember who said it

earnest cape
#

this is a joke dont kill me

cobalt pewter
#

But there's a reason why there are a couple meld weapons

#

That aren't rogue

dapper violet
#

meld is like “ah, shit, we need a rogue luminite set but 4 pillars are hardcored into the game”
at least it’s not xeroc anymore

crude geode
#

Meld hurts my brain

eternal escarp
#

ive found another disturbing thing

sleek turret
cobalt pewter
#

Make a new pillar for rogue LETSFUCKINGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

earnest cape
#

Tbf theres also weapons that uses lunar fragments that isnt for their class

swift wharf
#

why no meld monolith tho smh

eternal escarp
earnest cape
#

Like luminous striker using stardust for some god unknown reason

cobalt pewter
eternal escarp
#

@frozen hornet add this aswell

crude geode
#

That’s prolly oversight

eternal escarp
#

solstice claymore is also cringe

#

yeah

cobalt pewter
#

Yeah some of these might be oversights

eternal escarp
#

just make it have singularities tbh

frozen hornet
#

Aight didn't notice lol

dapper violet
#

big fan of that meld bar weapon that just throws the enormous fucking orb which explodes in an hour

cobalt pewter

@radiant meadow oversight with solstice claymore recipe, requires fragments instead of galactica singularities

eternal escarp
#

oh

#

straight ping?

radiant meadow
#

Dunno if I would call it exactly an oversight but perhaps

swift wharf
#

and why is meld construct/blob two things just use one smh

eternal escarp
#

this and exodium are the only ones i can find doing this

#

so yeah

pine star
tawny garden
#

has anybody called Galactica Singularities material bloat yet?

zealous ridge
#

anything that uses 4 frags should probably just use galactica pretty much

#

eh, do you think they are philo?

civic notch
eternal escarp
#

i mean, these are the only 2 that use fragments instead of singularities

tawny garden
#

(I'm not against them, to make it clear)

swift wharf
zealous ridge
#

because I think they really just go against material bloat

#

sure it’s a new material

frozen hornet
eternal escarp
#

wdym

civic notch
#

We were being sarcastic

zealous ridge
#

But it’s basically 4 items fused into a single easy crafting mat

earnest cape
#

I feel galac has same vibe as ascendant spirit essence

eternal escarp
#

should i write it instead altrax?

frozen hornet
#

Idk how to say what I want to say

zealous ridge
#

Yeah it’s similar

civic notch
#

Because material bloat is a phrase used

#

Far too often

eternal escarp
#

ight im writing this

tawny garden
zealous ridge
#

It is used too often

cobalt pewter
frozen hornet
zealous ridge
#

Because people like having a scary sounding word for bad resource management

eternal escarp
#

ill type it out here first, since its first suggestion and all

earnest cape
#

Its basically just ASE but later game

#

Earlier*

zealous ridge
#

imagine elemental items with all 4 fragments in the recipe

#

Or auric Tesla with all the fragments

frozen hornet
#

Oh lord thatcd be insane

zealous ridge
#

(That assumes they need to be there anyways, though, an THATS debatable)

frozen hornet
#

And with the crazy amount of weapons that craft into exo weapons

earnest cape
#

Man crafting an armor would take your whole inventory

#

Cause of all the materials

frozen hornet
#

Imagine crafting the Drat bow

cobalt pewter
#

Limitations of Terraria's crafting item limit is the reason some of these exist

tawny garden
#

also iirc there's a limit to how many ings you can have in a recipe

zealous ridge
#

Mhm

tawny garden
#

yeah

cobalt pewter
#

Though I heard rumors that the limit was changed in 1.4

earnest cape
#

Wow

earnest cape
#

Ah yes

cobalt pewter
#

@sand umbra can ya confirm that btw, since you're the funne 1.4 mod guy

earnest cape
#

Zenith stuff?

eternal escarp

Rework recipes for Exodium Clusters and Solstice Claymore to use Galactica Singularities instead of the fragments


The Exodium Cluster recipe is quite weird, it uses luminite and the 4 fragments, although every item from calamity that uses the 4 fragments combines them into one, the Galactica Singularity.
On another note, the Solstice Claymore does this exact thing, it uses the same quantity of fragments, but its all divided and not combines into Galactica Singularities
so my suggestion is quite simple, making the recipes require a Galactica Singularity instead of the 4 fragments, since they all require the same amount of fragments, and this way it will fit calamities recipes

sorry for this wall text tbh, but i rather get feedback here first

tawny garden
zealous ridge
#

weird*

eternal escarp
#

oops

zealous ridge
#

not wierd

eternal escarp
#

thanks

sand umbra
#

can't remember 100%

zealous ridge
#

you could probably also just make the suggestion about both of the items that use 4 fragments instead of galactica

tawny garden
#

public static int maxRequirements = 15; is 1.4.1.2

zealous ridge
#

solstice and exodium

eternal escarp
#

alright, ill add the solstice in aswell

cobalt pewter
#

So tmod is planning to then

eternal escarp
#

one sec

cobalt pewter
#

embrace Cal's 100-item recipe when that happens

zealous ridge
#

nah

frozen hornet
tawny garden
#

public static int maxRequirements = 15; is 1.3.5.3

zealous ridge
#

dont think there'd be enough slots in the damn inventory to do that

frozen hornet
#

Or is that too lomg

tawny garden
#

so that info is WRONG

#

at least for Vanilla

#

tML might remove the limit

zealous ridge
#

fukc u phi lo

#

you ruined my dreams

dapper violet
#

fargo’s souls moment

zealous ridge
eternal escarp

fixed it

looks better now?

eternal escarp

maxRecipes was changed from 2000 to 3000

eternal escarp

message link so no wall text

zealous ridge

thats true

but thats clunky as fuck honestly

#

i need my recipe chest to craft

hot zephyr

:)

fossil finch

just use magicstorage

frozen hornet
#

No

zealous ridge
#

fuck, you got me

#

argument invalid

eternal escarp
#

also changed the title like u suggested altrax

#

looks good?

tawny garden

Magic Storage is pogfish

frozen hornet

I hate magicstorage,it's so mildly infuriating but it builds up for the whole pt till it becomes unbearable

tawny garden

@eternal escarp post it

There we go

eternal escarp

is there more to fix?

When trying to click on the crafting menu it goes the basic menu

they could've just make it work like chests

also thanks solstice lol

"its" should be "it's"

i dont want to look like a 9 yo

ik im jk

@cobalt pewter while you're here, the recipe ings limit hasn't changed from 1.3.5.3 to 1.4.1.2

it's still 15

I saw

your life depends on this

Change "not combines" to "not combined"

i went to fix the all divides but then i see it never existed

yeah

But that's all

(it's changing for tML though, from what I remember, although I'd have to double-check)

(God i hope its increased for tMl)

i have satisfied the needs

Im very doubtful

if this gets 200 stars then it'll be my third sugg to get 200

Your auric dye sugg already reached 200

(alright so re: Thomas's Aerialite sugg
What if you used the Hive/Perf material drops to craft a Disgusting Creation, an effigy so vile that the essence of the sky itself wants to destroy it
You place it in the sky layer and Aerialite shards materialize out of the air to attack your disgusting creation, which then drop as collectibles)

eternal escarp
#

thats

#

cool af

cobalt pewter
#

That's

eternal escarp
#

and would give true shadow scales / blood samples a bit of a better use

cobalt pewter
#

Infinitely more interesting

eternal escarp
#

yeah

cobalt pewter
#

Than any other major ores in the mod

eternal escarp
#

omega amounts of better

cobalt pewter
#

Rover what did you drink this morning to get that

eternal escarp
#

youve had this idea before or did you just think of it?

cobalt pewter
eternal escarp
#

this is such a cool idea

cobalt pewter
#

@sand umbra hence forth, god.

eternal escarp
#

hence forth.

hollow shell
#

I did just think about that

cobalt pewter
#

Woa

hollow shell
#

I woke up like 30 minutes ago

eternal escarp
#

holy shit

cobalt pewter
#

Holy shit

pine star
#

Holy fuck

eternal escarp
#

a good night sleep actually makes your brain a god

hollow shell
#

I would not be surprised if it has a bunch of logistical issues

eternal escarp
#

well, yeah

#

but the idea still is awesome

hollow shell
#

but, s'what I came up with to tie Aerialite to the Cal evil bosses

cobalt pewter
#

Idea is idea regardless

sand umbra
#

honestly?

#

I've heard and even created more outlandish concepts

eternal escarp
#

if that can actually happen ingame tbh that would be sick imo

sand umbra
#

I can vibe with this if it's done right

eternal escarp
#

tbh i just like the idea of giving their drops a good use

#

other then creating their other weapon drops and their summon

#

(and 1 or 2 one off items)

hollow shell
#

Yeah literally the only thing that Blood Sample is used to create which isn't redundant
is Carnage Ray

eternal escarp
#

its like, 2 good ideas merged into one

cobalt pewter
#

True Shadow Scale is like

hollow shell
#

(True Shadow Scale also gets Demonic Pitchfork, on top of Night's Ray)

cobalt pewter
#

One of them "True" memes

#

At least Blood Sample is a rather decent derivation from tissue sample

eternal escarp
#

yeah

cobalt pewter
#

Meanwhile Shadow Scale just gets a true version because yes

eternal escarp
#

but isnt the shadow scales on the hivemind's second phase to be changed or smthn?

#

or is nothing confirmed yet?

frail mantle
cobalt pewter
#

Iban wanted the ebonstone shell thing to come off at phase 2

eternal escarp
#

yeah

#

so maybe when that new sprite / idea drops

#

the true shadow scale is prolly bound to change

cobalt pewter
#

Honestly having the shell be left on there for the rest of the p2 is, sorta interesting

eternal escarp
#

so thats not something to be concerned off

#

yeah it is a nice idea

cobalt pewter
#

And like, True Shadow Scale cannot be dropped mid fight in any way

eternal escarp
#

unlike vorms

cobalt pewter
#

Byeah, the resprite should give way to making the item drop mid fight

eternal escarp
#

back to rovers idea, ig

cobalt pewter
#

That's gaming

eternal escarp
#

yeah

hollow shell
#

My idea's too specific to suggest so I'll just, write it down somewhere

eternal escarp
#

i dont think we have much to say lol, only thing is if its possible to make ingame

#

yeah

eternal escarp
#

saying the obvious, are we philo?

tawny garden
#

although if you get rid of the name, it might not be so specific

tawny garden
hollow shell

nahh overall it still is

theres way more stuff that can cause laptop deaths tbh

wasnt these suggested fairly recently?

but less specific

I do remember it

it just said "rework the biome"

how recent was it?

tawny garden
eternal escarp
#

so wait

tawny garden
#

and it has 🛠️

eternal escarp

its to be implemented?

#

yeah

so your suggestion is technically granted

crystal iron

Oh then do I take it down or leave it

or, at least, it will be reworked so save your sugg somewhere in case some of it will still apply after the update comes out

Ah ok

Hehe I already know what's going to be happening to the Crag, and while I can't discuss it (patron server stuff), it's really awesome and fixes more than one set of suggestions we've had here

can anybody take them seriously?

(btw @half kayak You still need to edit your suggestion)

Yeah by their very nature, emote suggs are hard to take serious

#

Emotes are like 99% meme

half kayak
#

never suggesting again

dapper blaze
#

yeah fair enough

half kayak
#

i get spam pings for the next 10 hours

dapper blaze
#

the (usually) meme-y image combined with some simple description essentially telling us the same thing as the name is just funny to me

Well you won't get pinged if you fixed your sugg HDfailure

deleting it instead

cool

That's fine

for a moment i thought darkness' suggestion was "remove the calamitas clone fight"

tawny garden
#

lol

dapper blaze
#

shit

#

I made the same mistake after reading what you said rex

hollow shell
#

Cal Clone is a pretty garbo fight yeah

#

Prolly will get a rework when the big funny resprite happens tho

crystal iron
#

Ah that's good then

tawny garden
#

I hope SCal's and Cal's resprites get implemented simultaneously

#

cause otherwise it wouldn't make sense

sleek ore
#

ok I replied the wrong message lol

hollow shell
#

SCal and Clone will be getting lore-accurate humanoid redesigns

#

@sleek ore

sleek ore
#

yoooo

#

lunatic cultist but it hurts just a little bit

tawny garden
#

similar to the concept art iirc

sleek ore
#

I have not seen this

fossil finch
#

clone is not supposed to tho iirc?

pine star
#

Calclone is getting resprited

#

But I don't think it will be human

tawny garden
#

it's a clone

hollow shell
#

Probably some gross almost-human thing

pine star
#

Or if it is human, it will probably be malformed

tawny garden
#

not an eye of a clone HDfailure

pine star
tawny garden
#

oh god will it be somewhere in the uncanny valley?

pine star
#

Probably

#

Like it will probably look like a super deformed Scal

dapper violet
#

you know how dragonfolly is supposed to be a yharon clone but it’s all fucky and weird

i imagine something like that

pine star
#

yeah

#

Only worse because it's a fucked up human rather than a fucked up chicken dragon

heady lichen
#

yeah, birb got reworked, so scal deserves that treatment too

#

like dear god her fight is ancient

pine star
#

There will only be minor reworks coming with her human sprite

hollow shell
#

Scal won't change too much
Hopefully Clone will change a lot tho

dapper violet
#

so none of those brimstone monster suggs are gonna go through? are the current brimstone monster suggs larger changes than you anticipate being implemented into the game

pine star
#

They might go through

swift wadi
#

why dont some of these go through

dapper violet
#

depends on what “won’t change too much” means

swift wadi
#

does suggs work a different way now

tawny garden
#

still the same process as it was 6 months ago

hollow shell
#

dtrain means "go through" as in
Get acknowledged and implemented by the devs

#

in this case.

we should have a glossary
