ngl I wonder where they got the name xeroc
The roc
Probably? I mean, the enemies themselves might not be canon but the eclipses still happen
Combination of Zeratros and smth else
So it's valid for the lihzards to have some ties to it somehow, still
Xeratroc
If Xeroc wants luscious locks, he can simply will them in I reckon
that was me im evil
Male pattern baldness is extra dangerous for beings hundreds of years old
actually about to dimension hop and time travel and steal zeratros' soul first
the power to instantly change your hair to whatever you want
would be glorious
do these have any significance? also what are the other relics
i kinda wish there was an accessory combining those stones
(heart of the elements used to have them as materials, but it doesnt anymore for some reason)
It'd be a lot of random unrelated effects though
Each stone getting an upgrade would be much more up my alley at least
"Which beings" onwards is placeholder stuff
idk what to replace it with
but at least i finally having a wip for this weapon
took long enough
hiiiiiiii
hai
this reminds me of something i need to do next sugg period
add an 8th to my 7
I personally want the shrine items to be combined
i sort of want to hint about the potential of something like AotC being created
but i'm not sure how i want to go about doing that
maybe something abt it still being rough around the edges?
or incomplete
certain shrine items (im looking at you snow shrine mount) might not be applicable as accessories
hey could draedon touch auric and not be shocked?
He has trouble working with it because it still shocks him
But he doesn't get hurt because he doesn't have nerves
I personally hate bald xeroc but literally every single other writer and every single artist disagreed with me so
i gave in
So is Xeroc bald confirmed?
You can see he doesn’t have green skin
baldoc
this is bardock
I think he lost against pomniman
called pomniman for copyright reasons, can't steal the og
No way
Don't get me wrong, I also think Xeroc with hair looks way better
we're so reback
why did I say this as the arctic monkey song dropped
But at the same time, I just had no reason to just continue pushing against it when
Idk if I should say this even if I think it's painfully obvious it's gonna happen
Just going to say in DMs
shoulda let me in the dev team I woulda like
...?
See my thing is just. Ok. The reaosning was that it makes Xeroc look more like actual real life monks. But like.
That only makes out-of-universe sense
in-universe
hair
well
I wonder what the thing being hidden is
it's hair
xeroc actually has hair
reb and cei are just gaslighting us
so are the artists
i cant trust the government
That'd be kind of a stupid idea cosndiering the hazards of the sun being hurting-you levels of intense
I just don't want to talk about anything relating to what is ultimately not going to be my work
Yes, they have robes
Even if, as I said
It's something that I believe is painfully obvious
or fell off somehow
implies it's painful
bwahh
my road to becoming a ~w~ person
then the top of their head would be a second degree burn in an hour
the big fluffy hair acts as extra protection
That you might leave the team? That fabsol will veto the decisions? That xeroc will never be in the game?
what the sigma
This makes me more upset than it should

Dude idfk
xbxbxb123 always sigma gang
No it's just about Post Ascension Xeroc's design bro
It bothers me how little sense it makes in-universe even if it's just a minor detail
What do you think I'm going to guess when you have some mysterious thing you're hiding?
Not that????????????????????
ngl those guesses were kinda
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Yeah fair. Not those timings then
odd
I made those guesses because of past events that I've witnessed. I'm glad my pessimism was unfounded
the lore of the ancients
It's insane how you jumped to that and not "she doesn't want to spoil things"
reb it makes sense trust
I'm a little stupid
I'm a big stupid btw
Sorry about all that
In the end my decision was simply decided on the merit of which option would please the most people
I think xeroc's design was influenced by these events
Basically every artist wanted to make Xeroc bald, with me and Stip just vastly preferring the looks of Xeroc having long hair and Cei being pissed that it made no sense in-universe
cei is so silly :333
At the end of the day, "every artist" is more than three people
meow
True
Besides, in the end everyone gets what they wanted
Hello
That's all I'm saying
dire miralis dropkick
what
peak fiction
It's Halloween in most time zones
We need Halloween lore
the guilty gear fans are dizzy today
Halloween should be canon, it would be really funny
universal collapse
why is the miku cover of the vergil song good
I want to know how primordial light makes fake clones of real things, and wether darkness can do it too
What if darkness can make real clones of fake things, the opposite
That's called "creating something" 
Yeah
wouldn't that mean you added something to the universe
this is universe level guys
actually no its outerhouse level
Outerhouse
I was wrong only outerverse level I forgot
outerhouse is a concept beyond scaling
something you can see but never touch
grass level
god I hate most power scalers
Anyways, my point was that primordial light can make projections of things that already exist, like echos from that Zelda game
So want if darkness can make real, physical objects, but only ones that don't naturally exist
This would be a coherent explanation for all 4 moon events
Blood moon, solar eclipse, and frost and pumpkin moon
It could be a lot of variations of this
can I ask a question?
yessir
there a place I can read about the old lore?
Well tbf it is Xeroc
been wondering about it for years
there's also dizzy the universal collapsar
jumpscare destruction
he kept the sigil from the old design
which imo kinda implies he can vaguely channel PL
Pre ascension
not to mention afaik he was incredibly strong
i just realised an issue
no vanilla weapons are in the spreadsheet
and some of them could definitely be relevant, like EoL's drops
my guess is that being an acolyte under dragons prolly let you learn to do some of what they did on a lesser scale
kinda like paladins in dnd
i just overhauled the second half of AotE's entry entirely to help connect it more to AotA's entry, since it was sort of encroaching on TBB's territory
i was thinking about that whilst writing a boss rush thing
i do imagine AotC as being able to be separated
dual wield for agility and single handle for power
but not by just taking them apart, rather via the use of magic
you can transform it into different types of weapons, though they are all fairly similar
that's how i imagine it
though i still usually just think of it as a big pair of scissors
similar to how galaxia sword just switches between forms?
yeah
similar to that
the default AotC form incorporates some of galaxia's attunements, so it'd be like a general form
then the different forms could specifically expand upon each of the four attunements
also, i wanna know more about lategame guns, i always assumed they use magic to propel the bullets, but normal guns that dont seem to contain magic but also seem too weak to be powered by gunpowder are just railguns
i'm writing stuff for galaxia's attunements
Magical Bullets
and i'm researching a bit of astrology, which isn't something i thought i'd ever say
why do no sources seem to fully agree on what aries represents
Or magical combustion
it's almost like it's bullshit
i think i'll just go with this one source that said it's related to wrath, given that the attunement name is "Aries' Wrath"
even though i think another one could be slightly more interesting
Actually I'm mod creator will you be happy if I can model you a new custom personal mod with high quality work done just with little amount and affordable price
you know I can eat your limbs
omni 😭
just andromeda's stride left
no real clue as to what i want to do with it
also google sheets not having a passive spell check is once again the bane of my existence

okay so apparently it's either about fertility or sacrifice or being held prisoner???
i think i'm just a little too tired to actually sort through the information i'm seeing
time for a break i think
Shut up buzz I’ll kill you
actually i think i might very vaguely go for the held prisoner one
me when i ramble aimlessly and produce something completely senseless:
okay well it isn't completely senseless
there is meaning behind it and i know what it is
but i don't think it's conveyed like at all
It’s super rambly
But the latter half is decent enough
and nothing is actually pointless
but it's like
who the fuck is gonna be able to parse that
in fact i'm gonna add a comment on that cell to remind me to actually write something of value at some point to replace the entry
i hope i was forceful enough with my words to instil a sense of urgency in future me
You got an exquisite pfp on google
True
I had to change it
Since if I’m sharing my text ppl would see my real name lmao
thankfully it would only show my first name anyway i think
but that's still more than i would want it to show
what should i use for D-O-G

just when i need help organizing a toruney to
wich is a calamity
sandwhich
Just include this message at the end of that

😨 _ _
okay
less rambly
more clear
a little less flowery but still fun i think????
this should be better, at least for now
turns out 'future me' was 'me twenty minutes in the future'
The full Galaxia saga
Phoenix's Pride is weird because it doesn't follow the same structure of linking it back to the weapon itself, so i'll probably edit the ending of it (also encroaches a little on dog's bestiary, which is another reasont to change it)
Polaris' Gaze has an idea behind it that i really like but i don't think i executed it very well (not as horrendously as the previous AS one) so i might give it a full rewrite at some point
Reasont.
death speedrun 🔥
also when i say "icba" i mean "i can't be arsed"
not "i can't be asked"
Moer liek deah spedrun
ture...
possible replacement for phoenix's pride's entry
should be "a nigh-endless" not "an"
i do prefer the previous iteration more but this one is actually like relevant to the weapon
which is sort of a little important
i've rewritten Polaris' Gaze's entry but i dislike it a lot
feels super bland and basically the same as Andromeda's Stride
i'm not entirely against the latter point, given that both of those attunements are 'grouped' in the sense that they share the same secondary effect
but still
okay i've changed it a bit and removed something from AS' entry so they no longer egregiously cross over
not satisfied with it
but i have other shit to do so i'll have to leave it for now
What other weapons would be important or have stuff to write about?
Do yall think Yharim even had a plan on what to do if he miraculously won the crusade
Like was he there just to kill and leave the rebuilding thing for others to wonder
As I mentioned there, EoL stuff
Zenith
Terrablade line
Martian stuff
How the mech souls play into their respective weapons
There’ll be plenty of random yet interesting weapons amongst vanilla stuff
Also maybe shadow orb/crim heart stuff
I do have a vague idea for them
Would the times like water bolt, book of skulls, demon scythe and the hardmode ones also be interesting to write aswell?
That unsuspicious tv when you finish fishing all the fishes
Draedon did initially find him leading the cleanup of a city he conquered
Maybe he tried to not change society and more like just erase the gods from it and keep the rest?
Of course later on he went fuck all mode
draedon was influenced by this
ture
Zenith mention 👀
that is true
I'm really interested on your take on it now 
well i haven't even written it down yet
so that'll have to wait
i won't be doing that until i add vanilla weapons to the spreadsheet
Well what’s your take on the zenith?
or at least the ones that i'm interested in
Why does zenith need auric?
Even though it is mostly a balance thing it has to have a lore meaning too
Uh
Kind of the same as in vanilla
A symbol of the Terrarian's journey
Binding agent
I'm actually thinking of adding recipes for some of the weapons
Pumpking sword and Meowmere specifically
The former would use some Scoria, the latter would probably use Cosmilite (not their only ingredients tho)
Cosmilite for the meowmere?
True
Isn’t the meowmere a ML drop? Why require a DoG material?
Re-tiering for lore/story purposes 
I mean I did re-tier the Horseman's Blade to post-Golem by adding Scoria to it
tbf the moons are balanced around post-golem anyway iirc
Ooooh, TIL
"balance thing" mfs when the zenith is underpowered for auric tier
it performs well enough
i'd hardly call it underpowered
nice all-rounder for exos especially
Underpowered? It performed just fine for me.
^
It may not deal as much damage as some of the other weapons, but it’s very easy to use
It isn't.
The player can be one ig
Providence, the Profaned Goddess is one of the oldest beings, an entity associated with purity and light. Her creation was to protect the world from evil, yet she also fiercely punishes anything she deems impure.
There’s dev speculation slime god was one pre-ascension 
Slime god pre ascension is a maybe but other then that the only way is to make the terrarian one
Correct
I wanna see an image of this fellow
only thing that confuses me
^
the mechanical boss lore says that you're in their crosshairs because of them searching for the divine
Wof god essence got on us
idk if that's canon though
It is
Long before Yharim's reign, the universe was shaped by the Builders of Minecraft, who, like gods, crafted the Overworld, Nether, and End. These Builders tapped into mysterious, cosmic energies, leaving behind relics that whispered secrets of power.
In his quest for ultimate power, Yharim sought out the End Dimension, where dragons roamed and the mysterious Ender Crystals pulsed with energy. He captured the essence of the Ender Dragon and, using these dark powers, created the Devourer of Gods (DoG). But DoG, forged from pure energy and bound by nothing, grew beyond Yharim's control and began devouring entire dimensions—including realms like the End and Nether.
Damn
Really
I can imagine the hair like that actually. Like how it's a gradient kinda and stuff
The only god above xeroc is the parkour god from parkour civ
Idk what oostrich is going on about
Sudden influx of new people
Lore
Not canon lore
if it was that simple why aren't they just going crazy and attacking everything?
ye ik
Mande
Maybe they are? We don’t know much of what they do outside of fighting us
In their early days, hitting each note feels like conjuring a Nether portal, opening a gateway to realms of potential, but also fear. These first notes pulse with both beauty and unease, resembling the forces that drew Yharim to corruption, or the energy that created the Devourer of Gods from a stray melody that suddenly becomes insatiable.
They should just port minecraft over to terraria cuz it's a better game
Minecraft would be a good game if it was terraria
Minecraft and terraria are different in a bunch of genres they can’t really be compared
Still, one is good and the other is not good
minecraft is still good
just imo terraria is better
Both need more goon mods
That’s your opinion
Nah I state only fact


Minecraft peaked on xbox 360
no okay actually why has lore chat had this sudden influx
Denied
As legends spread of its sinister power, the Minion Gun began attracting those drawn to darkness, tyrants like Yharim and witches like Calamitas, who sensed the evil it contained. Yet none could wield it for long; each wielder found their soul drained with every shot, their minions—once loyal creatures—turning upon them in blind hunger. In one twisted encounter, the gun was discarded in a dark forest that bridged the Nether and Overworld, left to rot in the twisted underbrush.
No u
Idk i just got here
Like 5 people appeared randomly quickly wtf
360 edition is the best version of minecraft and evrything ever since has been inferior
Nuh uh
Imo minecraft even if slowly and lacklusterly recently is still getting better over time even if it’s not my style of game
In a twisted, eerie fusion of worlds, the Minion Gun and the cursed landscapes of Calamity find themselves inexplicably tied to a place known only in whispers: Eggum Parking. A mundane name hiding a sinister legend, Eggum Parking is not just a location; it’s a haunted crossroads where reality unravels, and forces older than the universe itself play games with the unwary.
Nah ur opinion is wrong
And invalid
Cuz I said so
We ain’t in cmt your spells don’t work
Imm just like that
Nah
What is a cmy
Why did u send a penis gif
That's widawy a penis
Deep fried penis???

Hello lore chat
I regret coming back to chat
i'm fleeing to here https://discord.com/channels/1145541016540168223/1147624471839133798
Back to the femboy discussion
anyways
What channel is this lmao it just pops up as unknown
Why aren't there any others?? Why only sline god with no official artttttt 😤😩
It’s a secret you shall not know
who knows 👻
damn..
Also was slime god a slime that looked like a man or just a guy before ascension
Just a guy
Likely just a guy
In a surreal merging of Minecraft and Calamity, Steve finds himself stranded in Eggum Parking, a dark, twisted lot that seems endless, its cracked asphalt a portal to places best left undisturbed. Here, the boundary between dimensions has thinned, and the Minion Gun lies waiting, a cursed relic left by a shadowy figure known only as 教授.
I, am Steve.
Okay thank you no more calamirotting
Sounds about right
Steve, seeking an escape from this strange realm, picks up the Minion Gun, unaware of the curse it carries. The gun begins whispering, urging him to fire. When he does, dark minions appear, but they are twisted copies of himself—each one an echo of the fears and doubts he’d thought he’d conquered. The ground around him shifts like Nether soil, turning shadowed and rotten, as each shot saps his strength, leaving him hollow.
What was up with the auric soul to make him specifically slimey
Slimes are gluttonous and the soul was auric soul of gluttony
I see
From the shadows steps 教授, his figure warped by Abyssal magic, eyes glinting with the knowledge of other worlds. "Welcome, Steve," he sneers. "Every minion you summon, every ounce of energy you lose—it's all part of my experiment. Eggum Parking belongs to me, and now, so do you."
Is this fucking ai bro
for a moment i doubted that this was ai generated but with "教授" i'm certain that it is
Why did the Devourer of Gods start a band?
Because it wanted to drop some sick “notes” before devouring all the “boss”es!
I’d like to imagine as the ascension process was occurring for Slime God, a random slime passed by and got absorbed by slime god which helped influence it to specifically slimes
i was literally about to ask you in cmt if you knew what was up with this
I’m just gonna call pre-ascension slime god Simon
i call pre-ascension provi Erika
i just randomly blurted it out in this channel once
Yeah I remember what that was made up
and it stuck with me
Goes hard
I'm sorry whats cmt
calamity mod talk
Biting pieces of my phone case off again
In the shattered remnants of the Calamity universe, a mysterious extremist group known as The Order of Steve emerged from the chaos, driven by a singular, fanatical belief: they were the true embodiment of the original Steve, the first player. Clad in burnt armor, their faces obscured by masks resembling the iconic blocky visage of Minecraft’s hero, they wandered the fractured landscapes, leaving destruction in their wake.
Yeah actually I'm a psychic and knew what you were gonna say so I typed it 30 seconds in advance
lmao
Their doctrine preached that the essence of creation lay in unmaking—purifying the world by burning down everything to the ground. In their eyes, the loss of structures and biomes was merely a return to an untainted state, where the realm could begin anew.
It’s Halloween and this is what lore chat has gotten to?
SMH my head
The way I visualized pre-Ascension Provi is short hair (like about shoulder length), golden hair, and having the big providence gemstone as a necklace

lmao
what's the most irrelevant boss to the lore???
Deerclops
Deerclops is so irrelevant it’s not canon
Out of the canon bosses? Like probably crabulon
I’d say king slime
oh yeah she doesn't even have a lore item
king slime is also a very valid answer
She
oh yeah
Erm she
mb
It isn't canon.
The only lore king slime has is
-slimes can amalgamate and become a little smart
-the onyx kinsmen like slimes
I mean, that must be pretty irrelevant right
King slime has the brain of a orange cat who doesn’t have a turn with the braincell
This but golden hair + providence necklace is about how I imagine pre-ascension providence looked like
:O Where is that from?
The artist is Linderosse on twitter
This character is Berengaria from Unicorn Overlord
For other non relevant bosses to the lore? Honestly prob eoc is high up there
Oh yeah for sure
bruh stop
You could argue it has smth to do with onyx kinsmen
What about the eow
I’d say crabulon is the most irrelevant
Yeah but statis npc
strictly cal bosses? yea probably
but including vanilla i think evil1 is more irrelevant
cause like
what do they really bring that eoc or evil2 doesnt

it's a concept i've only included in public stuff sparingly
mainly in the part of the boss rush fic that is public
#1296195015806029934 message read down
this gives a general explanation of a few of my ideas i think?
@chilly blaze 🤔 I think it's better to put your thoughts in something like a Google Doc


So it’s like a somewhat living infinitely lethal other dimension like the distortion but is beyond anything they knew at that moment?
Hey Vanillin! So, picture this: in this alternate universe called Lava Lamp, instead of slaying bosses like the Moon Lord or Plantera, we’re up against waves and torrents of water! It's like trying to survive a flood in a wooden shack—one minute you’re mining, and the next, you’re dodging high tide like it’s the Eater of Worlds! Honestly, sometimes it feels like trying to cook a lasagna while standing in the rain—everything just gets messy!
Ok idek who cares too much about my worldbuilding but I recently got a name for my god of the forge OC :O
if dimensions were like bubbles in the air, the void would be the air itself
Amatsumara
Named after a figure in Japanese mythos which is pretty much the Hephaestus equivalent
Pretty sure this is a bot
Japanese kami.
I'm
not sure why I said Japanese
when kami already implies that.
Crab getting more and more deep fried
(also thank you for ignoring my attempt at not putting this in this server)
Although I'm not really gonna make Seisai's Amatsumara be 1:1 to the original Japanese mythos, I kinda want to make them more like Hephaestus too
In the chaotic realm of Google Docs, a user named JugofWater206 set out to document the Calamity lore, but things took a wild turn. With a keyboard in one hand and a half-eaten slice of pizza in the other, they began to deep-fry the story. Instead of epic battles, the Wall of Flesh became a grumpy, sentient lasagna, and Plantera transformed into a confused plant that just wanted to vibe at a rave.
So a mix between Japanese and a cripple got it
Well idt they're gonna be crippled 
what have I walked into
I'm definitely gonna get the volcano god idea too
Oostrich still posting whatever they’re doing but everything seems to be more chill now
With each fry, Hephaestus added his own flavor, turning epic battles into slapstick comedy. The Twins argued over who could flip the best burgers, and Fishron became a surfing fish dude, riding waves of oil instead of water. "Who needs serious lore when you can have chaotic puns about pixelated food?" became the new mantra. The Google Doc transformed into a sizzling spectacle that readers couldn't resist.
@spare pier 90% sure this is a spam bot, they keep spamming random nonsense, and they just joined this server today
Ok yeah I'm convinced this is a bot now
aw shucks :(
Don't ping moderators directly, just use Staff Mail.
basement dweller thankgod your here, i have a question rq for you, that you should be able to answer
This applies for everyone here.
If you really had an issue with them, you had all the time in the world to use Staff Mail.
Ok...?
ai got really advanced nowadays
Oh before I take a bath, Amatsumara is definitely one of the more benevolent gods
its showing clear emotions
My bad, I'll do that in the future
What if I don’t know how to?
You just DM it.
Oh ok
nah it's too obvious
The instructions are both on its status and About Me.
endgame guns, how do they work? i always assumed they use magic because gunpowder would be too weak but guns like anti materiel rifle, kingsbane (forgot the exact name) etc, seem to just literally shoot normal ass bullets. how do you think they achieve that?
They did help Seisai become more advanced and all that
Thank you seeker of knowledge
Give me a sec, I'm busy at the moment
i see.
Also it is kingsbane if you talking about the auric minigun thing
ye that
there are some donor guns i could name that imo should be canon but rules are rules so
things like tyranny's end
which it NEEDS to be canon man
i'm coming back at <t:1731523980:F> to spout some more wisdom
this AI is really wise
this AI has never played calamity or terraria before 🔥
calamitaspilled
damn
was kinda hoping that was your first words
that bot was A LOT weaker than oostrich
bro gift 50$
oh fiddlesticks I can't do that day 😠
Don’t click it
Pretty sure some dev said something vaguely like "you can consider fitting donor items cannon"
It was like yesterday
It depends. Some weapons, such as the surge driver, use superheated plasma. Other guns use miniturized railguns to accelerate bullets to supersonic speeds
would you consider the tyranny's end fitting to be canon
Yeah everyone does
ye but anti materiel rifle for example, does not look like a railgun whatsoever as it lacks rails
Rails are inside the gun
it just looks like an anti materiel rifle that was made to look alien
arent rails usually near the barrel? i forgot how railguns exactly look
In the case of the anti material rifle, it's just a very high caliber sniper rifle. They exist irl
ik, they are called anti-materiel rifles
i dont think anti-materiel rifle would be able to destroy yharon singlehandedly tho
Would it be funny if someone actually put a container containing the one-billionth of a gram of antimatter that has been produced into a bullet
Would it actually do a shit
No, it would do like nothing
I did some research
One-billionth of a gram would do an explosion similar to a small firecracker
One milligram however would be around the size of a large conventional bomb
ye but guns usually want piercing power over explosive power
especially against you know, armored targets
thats why tanks rn use depleted uranium/tungsten
over explosive projectiles
But… 40kg of tnt in a single bullet…
Shut up im the blast you not even the past
with enough explosive power you can overpressure an armored target but usually you'd need a missile
I just realized I got pinged
Vaniping
Antimatter bombs I assume are based on mass-energy conversion
So uhhh just use that formula to calculate based on mass or use a calculator on the internet
Keep in mind 1kg of anything being converted to energy at 100% efficiency is gonna be entire megatons of energy iirc
Pretty sure yes
From my probably heavily innacurate old calculations it would be little over 20 megatons but that’s prob very off
how does it work? that scale, tanks cant exactly destroy a large building as it lacks destructive power (usually are made to pierce).
it can topple it with enough shots tho
Blegh idk I think it's based on the calculated energy of what they shoot idk I don't do much real life scaling
They really called it the omni calculator
Yes it was based on me btw
mostly asking about the system being based on destructive power rather than actual power, cuz something can have more force behind it than the other but the other deals more damage to its surroundings
Eghhhg idkkk
It's based
On energy
Tsar bomva is higher end of city level cause 58 megatons
There's usually some calcs the tiers are based on
ooo
Wait so what’s considered like the minimum of city or town level
so its moreso about actual energy rather than what it can destroy or not?
And what’s the high end of city
City level starting at around 6 megatons is from a 10km wide explosion, 10km of near-total fatalities range
Yers
You can end a country without being country level, the calculation that the tier country level (which starts at 7 teratons of tnt) is based on assumes an explosion with a near-total fatalities range that has a surface area as large as the average surface area of a country
Near-total fatalities range is the range of an explosion, usually in the scale of nukes, where most things are destroyed and most living beings die, it's not the "fireball" but in this range there can really only be devastated ruins
So it’s total fatality, that makes things seem more destructive then I thought
And well, the kinetic energy of the asteroid chicxulub's impact would fall around the higher end of country level up to large country level, being around 72 teratons, some sources rounding it up to 100 teratons.
However, it clearly didn't affect just a large country, it was one of the most destructive extinction events to have ever happened in the history of life. But it's fair since this is only the kinetic energy of the direct impact, not everything else it caused, and it's also only an estimate (even if made by expert scientists) that could change possibly
I frankly think a lot of these tiers that most scalers and scaling wikis use could be revised, but idk
We talking about nukes? Yeah, even the biggest nukes like the Tsar Bomba only span a few miles in diameter, it's the shockwave and radioactive fallout that wipe out everything else
Yep
The shockwave is what people underestimate. You could be 400 miles from the explosion and have your windows shattered
Hell, you can get 3rd degree burns from 61 miles away from a Tsar bomb
The wrong channel one?
yeah
Nukes are relevant here, Draedon almost certainly used them
With the amount of radiation in the Sulphurous Sea, and the fact that he casually includes small ones on Ares, it's a given
radiation doesnt mean nuke
nuclear energy rn is very efficient
especially if he managed to stabilizes it
he did use "nukes" in plaguebringer
Lore items said that he only tested it for a little while before quickly moving on
That wouldn't be enough to pollute an entire ocean
but these had no huge explosions behind them, idk if thats due to gameplay or they are just weird nukes
He used plutonium.
This is confirmed by the Radiator enemy right?
Yes.
They have depleted plutonium crystals on their back
I always find it odd when people say that nukes could just delete the entire surface and maybe even crust of the planet. Even if you spread all the ones you have very tactically to cause as much destruction as possible, the worst comes from the fallout in these scenarios, as well as the specific targeting if that's accounted for.
"Complete surface wiper" from exploding every nuke at once are kinda hard, at least from the explosion itself
Crust-destruction is even more impossible; not even 100 years ago we had an earthquake that released seismic energy far greater than any nuke combined. And beyond that we also have to consider that the crust is a several kilometers, if not several tens of kilometers and in some positions even 100 kilometers thick structure of various rocks that cover the entire planet, and gegh, nothing we have comes remotely close to destroying allat
nuclear energy was just an example, many things can cause radiation without needing to you know
wipe a city block
i also doubt draedon used nukes cuz then yharims crusade would just be over lol
True, but it's reasonable to assume that he tested nukes in the sea
Legalize exotech
i dont think we would JUST have a polluted ocean if it were to be nuked even once....
We've tested nukes in the ocean IRL
The US has at least
Accidentally sunk our own fleet detonating one underwater during a test once
ye but huge parts of said ocean just become way too fucking unhabitable and require years to recover
like an insane amount
it isnt JUST
"polluted"
Sulphurous Sea water melts your skin off in seconds
Pretty sure Draedon specifically dumped all kinds of testing material in the sulphurous sea, so I assume it might've been a lot more than just nukes
Yeah
even if we assume creatures in calamity can adapt to radiation, there would need to be creatures to survive the nuke to actually start adapting, nukes wouldnt really allow for that combined with the fact that nukes are as hot as our sun
Definitely other types of nuclear powered weaponry and equipment too
Like specifically dumping highly radioactive material like that one meme about car batteries
ye but i doubt he actually used nukes
because knowing draedon, he wouldv just
used them to satisfy his deal with yharim
Draedon has made nukes, but it is unclear if he dropped them at the Sulphurous Sea.
he already destroyed an entire ecosystem, i dont think he actually cares about the other
tested them, yeah but i dont think he actually used them
"Dropped" as in exploded.
plaguebringer calls its missiles nukes but it lacks the explosions
No.
idk if thats gameplay wise or not
I assume Draedon utilized all forms of nuclear weapons and machineries, before realizing that he could not get the outcome he would end up getting with Exotech n stuff; clean ways of wiping out an area so that it can be utilized for testing without radioactive fallout and other nasty surprises being in the way
Well, not new, but it is entirely reworked.
(Gunk Zero my beloved)
oh so the terrarian was just fighting in a nuclear waste zone
They are called "plague nukes". So it could just be a bomb that releases a shit ton of plague gas, not a literal nuke
Also, keep in mind that the ingame world is supposed to be the size of a continent. So, multiply explosion size by like 10x for nuke attacks
His goal here isn't wiping out things and making everything unlivable; it's to learn life, its workings, and how to control it all
Draedon experimented with nuclear energy but it is unknown what he did with it. It seemed like a minor thing to him, probably because the laws of physics are different. Also, the sulphuric sea was always sulphurous, due to the whole volcanic activity below thing
So Ares nukes are like actual nukes in terms of size. Not city busters, but nukes nontheless
"nuke" might mean something else
The reason he moved on so quickly was because he started experimenting with exo energy, which is way more powerful than nuclear energy
The use of "gauss" in the name implies some electric based thing, if I remember correctly
From what I understand it’s more like we’re on a small thin part of the whole continent
More powerful than nuclear energy in universe, but we don't know how powerful nuclear energy is in calamity lore
That could be true as well. A peninsula. That would explain the dual oceans
I assume the reason it's called nuke is as simple as: devs made a big explosion with big bomb from a big mech, so why not call it nuke, nuke = big explosion bomb from a very superficial perspective
Or at least
Reb said that the background is more of the continent, just not parts we explore
I wouldn't be surprised if Draedon coined the term nuke.
That's also what I think
There are IRL nukes that have been developed that only have the blast radius of a large building
Most people see a big explosion and call it nuke e even if incorrect, so it kinda makes sense to me
So, in reality, we look like the crazy ones questioning why Draedon is calling non-nukes nukes.
Yes I'm aware
"nuke" = "new ultra kill explosion"
The smallest nuke is like 20 TNT tons, while it's definitely big, it's small for nuke standard
NEW ULTRAKILL TECH?!?!?!
(Jk )
Just based on the radius of the explosion, I calced that the gauss nuke should be around the 140 TNT tons, granted that was quite a good while ago actually
And idk if it really works anymore but idk
well, either nukes in calamity arent all that
or they arent actually nukes
pick your poison
Nah pick YOUR poison!
Or those are the nukes that Draedon put on Ares and he’s got much bigger ones that are unsuitable for the close-quarters fighting his Exo Mechs were built to do
yeah nuclear bombs aren't close quarters weapons
Or nukes in calamity are smaller then shown for gameplay, cause having something that one taps the entire map ain’t fun
It is probably possible to make a smaller nuclear bomb, but it would defeat the point
The US made one small enough to fire from a rocket launcher
Do not the cat
💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Is there any nuke made by dreadon as powerful as the tsar bomba for example
Only nukes we know is in game and not talked about so only examples could be tuned down for gameplay reasons
I think
You got it here folks!
Supernova would do a whopping!!!! “wasdawda” If it was not toned down for gameplay!
Thank you
Cursed torches
"lamps"
"torches"
and i should specify that i'm pre-boss
well actually i killed KS because it spawned via slime rain
Oh then no don’t think so
if it was a real life supernova, ignoring that it's small enough to throw, the entire planet would be not just atomized, but all the atoms would be split into their subatomic particles. The solar system, if calamity has one, would be heated into plasma, and any other solar systems within 50 light years would have all their planets irradiated into uninhabitability
Draedon calls it a planet cluster doesn’t he?
Not a solar system
Idk if they’re synonyms or it means the planets are more prevalent then the sun idk
they're not synonyms because there are no real life stars, planets are the biggest thing
the sun orbits terraria
Do you see seasons?
Exactly.
Not a Solar System, since objects aren't rotating around the Sun.
(Or maybe the term Solar System isn't a thing)
Who said our journey is long enough for them to change?
years exist as a unit of measurement of time, so we can infer that there is some physical mechanism marking the passage of years
If that were the case, days and nights wouldn't be consistent. Terraria has to be orbiting a star, otherwise it would slowly get colder and darker as the planet drifted through space further away from the sun
Well, no. Terraria isn't orbiting a star, stars as we know them don't exist. Instead, the Sun (moon sized primordial light ball) is orbiting terraria
Wasn that confirmed?
It was stated by a lore writer somewhere I think
This is impossible due to the existence of Solar Eclipses in Terraria
Then the sun is a bit bigger then the moon
No, it's still completely possible, the sun is just further away than. The moon
And they orbit at different speeds
It would be completely hidden by the moon unless it was literally close enough for the moon to start orbiting it
There's two moons and one of them is the sun
How do we know magic/primordial light has mass and so would have its own gravity?
This isn't true and relies on false assumptions, like the sun's mass and size
mew
Hai cheese
Ew
We know mana has mass because stars exist in space.
Bro commanded us to mew and I had to lock in
Astral star on the planet still shrinking and clumping together though aswell
They were prob being a cat
We don't know if gravity follows the same laws as it does in real life. It very likely doesn't.
Possibly, but i wanted to interpret it as mew
Gravity dragon to space god
Gravity still has relations to spacetime
hii
Mana naturally consolidates and clumps together into stars
Hi cheese
Yeah it even does so on the planet, atlas being multiple things fused together by this process I think
In a way that distinctly doesn't conserve momentum, otherwise the mana would be orbiting itself instead of all ending up in one place
So it is a process independent of normal gravity
But how much does mana weigh?
We don't know
We don’t know
all right we get it
But it's clumping force is independent of gravity
Cal lore devs have a LOT of explaining to do when it comes to the cosmology and physics
Not really
The only scientific force that would reach that level
Doesn’t do much magic
So it can just be unknown forces even in universe
what is its never explained and just left up for interpretation
Looking in front of her, Léa saw as one of the worms accelerated rapidly, approaching her in a straight line. Coming up with a plan, she grabbed one of the stalactites from the cave’s ceiling, and just as the worm was about to hit her, she stepped to the side and stabbed the sharp stone into its side. The worm had way too much momentum to stop, so Léa was able to cut the entirety of it. While these worms were capable of quickly regenerating from a vertical cut, they couldn’t withstand being sliced horizontally, the individual pieces falling dead on the ground, green ooze gushing from their rent forms.
EoW fatality
hey random thing
do we know where the profaned gardens are going to be?
Shut up.
and what lore is with them?
Won’t be profaned garden but just a biome
And no we don’t
Probably a place of worship for providence or one of her hide outs
fair enough
if i had to guess, on the right side of the underworld
right?
With a few extra variables we very well could figure it out. If we assume that the gravitational constant is 6.67 × 10^-11, then we can use the equation Mass of Sun = Force of gravity × (radius of Terraria + distance)² divided by (6.67 × 10^-11) × Mass of Terraria
We don’t know the distance either or the size of the planet
Profaned garden is a infernum thing
the actual profaned biome isn't related to it
/isn't gonna b called that
math D:
maybe it'll just be a place that providence recently burned lmao
Nor will it just simply be a structure.
lmao
profaned biome (it's just a burnt down forest)
(I really dislike the Profaned Garden for being essentialy a giant structure)
my favourite part of the profaned garden is the vanity item that you get from it
We can estimate both. If you measure the radius of the sun seen during the solar eclipse and compare it to the radius of the moon, taking the mass of the moon IRL we can estimate the size of Terraria's "sun"
Omg Providence is going to have a little hidey hole for her and her guardians to cuddle in
Can we? Wouldn’t it be anything from right behind to theoretically much much larger
Like super liminal, further away is bigger but looks same size
Or is that not how space works
There will be a diary from the girlfail so yeah
Melon send the screenshot
Also, think about the fact that the moon reflects light from the sun in Terraria. How would that be possible if the sun was orbiting Terraria?
Yes. A hidey hole. Just that. Obviously.
This?
What the hell is that melon
So probably the nameless deity
Yes it’s like 59 sun attacks

hold on... he's cooking something
LMAO
DAMN!111!

Everything master mode damage does that
The small bees from the hives certainly ain’t harmless
they aren't surface enemies
They are, hives can appear surface
will ceaseless void be how we get to the distortion when thats added the lore item mentions its a portal to it
Yes.

Alara, had recently stumbled upon an ancient shrine dedicated to Mr. Drowned, hidden deep within the Terraria jungle. There, she found an inscription, etched in stone with unusual symbols, hinting at a mysterious potion called Jungle Juice—a concoction that only appeared to those in need of healing and wisdom. This potion was said to be a gift from Mr. Drowned himself, a means for his followers to replenish their strength and gain enlightenment.
what?
jungle juice new 1.4.5 feature tho
As she drank the potion, Alara felt a surge of healing power coursing through her, mending her wounds. But along with it came a vision—she was transported into the depths of Mr. Drowned’s realm. There, she glimpsed fragments of Calamity’s twisted lore: images of powerful beings, like Yharim and the Devourer of Gods, torn between order and chaos, facing the wrath of Mr. Drowned himself.
No
Whar
did you just join to shitpost dude
Just modmail if it’s too much
if ya really want to write some kinda story i recommend just putting it in a google doc instead of rambling in lorechat
what about 3 words at a time instead 🔥🔥
3 words a day? 😭
just put it in a doc or something idk
You can share the doc here, it's better that way, and it's easier to find the whole thing
fiinneee
hey guys what do we know about the distortion and its entities in its entirety currently
not much
Distortion is another dimension
Its inhabitants seem more inteligent than they should be capable of, so they might be a hive mind according to draedon.
A mysterious powerful entity known as Noxus is probably in charge of it
Making portals there is hard, but it has been done before, once during the age of dragons.
Legendary warrior Braelor is stuck there, but alive
His boyfriend Statis was stuck there but escaped
I lost inspiration for Cal writing for a while there so I've been going through and replaying Morrowind to regain it and now I am back at it again
Nice nice
Ah finally not the cropped weird art
I am illing you
