Like there's a whole part about outlawing sexual content and classifyign anybody who has anything like it as sex offendors but imma be real I don't think they're gonna be able to do that

#

But stuff like making HRT illegal is a real possibility

deft vessel
#

Sounds impossible

Also a complete ban on divorce is another thing which 4 years ago I'd say wouldn't happen but given Roe v. Wade got overturned since then I'll consider a possibility if THAT of all things happened

so yeah basically

bad stuff

I need that image of miles Edgeworth pointing down and it just says straight

#

why does the Plague and all its related enemies only show up after Golem is dead? has there been an update on that, or is that just a game balance moment?

#

and also, why does killin moonlord make the polterghast and the pink ghosts appear?

untold oracle
#

Like a plague biome or smth

fierce pagoda
#

and also, why does killing Polterghast affect the sulphur sea and the abyss? why do the souls released from Polter go there?

untold oracle

Though I headcanon that the plague is always present in the jungle

those are my questions

or uhh destroyed

i know that one was a joke

Calamitas can trap them in gruesome eminence

#

i meant more like, why do they stir up the Abyss and sulphur sea specifically

#

instead of just going somewhere else

#

no wait

#

the message says "The abyssal spirits have been disturbed"

#

doesnt that imply that there were abyssal spirits there already?

#

and that killing polter disturbed the souls that were already present in the abyss?

#

wasnt it an old lore thing that Yharim dumped his victims on the abyss

What are the lore implications of ares having skeleton inside?

Idk draedon was influenced by it I think

split mortar

structural support idk

frozen zodiac

#

Still, creatures with bones don’t normally have skin that can witchstand possibly a small nuke so the support from bones are probably not needed

deft vessel

Because spooky scary skeleton

I’m throwing you in the bin

Rude.

Meanie head

untold oracle
#

I think it’s just for cosmetic purposes tho

random mulch
#

draedon asked "if a robot had a full spine and pelvis would that be fucked up or what"

frozen zodiac
#

also the skull just looks fucking cool dont try to tell me a machine of mass destruction and death having a skull as one of its distinct visual details isnt badass and metal as hell

split mortar
#

I’m more so questioning the spine and pelvis

frozen zodiac
#

i think the interior was gonna need some sort of support for its core parts at some point

deft vessel
#

Draedon could have used it for clean wire placement

spring helm
#

Draedon just has an appreciation for aesthetics as well

#

The exo mechs are his magnum opus, so he dripped them out

split mortar
#

But can they make a grilled cheese?

faint plank
#

possibly

deft vessel
#

Draedon two core commands are:

  1. Do science
  2. Make stuff aesthetically pleasing
frozen zodiac
#

im pretty sure your cheese would become inedible if hit by exo flames

split mortar
#

Apollo makes plasma not even fire iirc

frozen zodiac
#

burns grilled cheese sandwich beyond recognition with my exo mechs
my fucking sandwi💥

sleek halo
#

Ngl Draedon seemed

#

Idk how to describe how Draedon sounded

#

when he was talking about being replaced

#

by scal

#

“For most of the campaign, I was undoubtedly Yharim's greatest asset, but that changed when she arrived. Her flames burned hotter than my most powerful furnace, and her desire to torch the Godseeker's enemies surpassed even my passion for creation.”

untold oracle
#

AI replaced by scal

untold oracle
sleek halo
#

yea

#

Or well he could be capable of it

#

but finds the emotion pointless

untold oracle
#

So I think he could’ve been a little disappointed but curious

sleek halo
#

I personally think Draedon is capable of feeling every emotion

#

just does not understand things

#

he lacks social cues n whatnot

faint plank

tall delta
#

there isnt a dragon of stars in cal right

brave dew
#

Draedon is just a loser nerd

random mulch

made a slightly more accurate ares corpse

idk why seeing that

#

made me wanna write like a

anti life equation scenario

or something similar to it

#

I remembered how I drew Andromeda 2 months ago

#

Remind me what was the significance of Andromeda in the lore?

frozen zodiac
#

was andromeda astrum aureus before the infection?

random mulch
#

andromeda is a really old concept

silent crane
#

I think it's worth trying to imagine

random mulch
#

idk how a planet destroying battleship made by draedon for shits n' giggles would fit into current lore

#

also at some point it had the soul of yharim's brother in it for some reason

fierce pagoda
#

Didnt someone else make an unofficial addon mod that added Andromeda or am i tripping?

#

i think it was the same addon that added the plague biome too

silent crane
fierce pagoda
#

I think the devs were a bit annoyed by that addon, since they dont like when people add planned content

frozen zodiac
silent crane
#

When I was making this art, I had thoughts about a new version of the lore for Andromeda running through my head.

frank dune
#

tf is andromeda?

#

sorry

#

i am kinda new at that

languid badge
#

Scrapped boss

silent crane
#

In short, in my version
Andromeda is an AI made by Draedon, and instead of forcing her to make crooked pictures, Draedon loaded her into a hull to which he often attached various weapons in order to use it to understand whether everything was working properly, but at some point, Draedon, apparently due to overwork, forgot that Andromeda was loaded into this hull hung with guns, and therefore this mountain of weapons inspired the creation of exomechs (in addition to regular mechs)

#

No, crap, starting over again

#

-I was born
-You're an AI
-What will I do? Make pictures?
-No, I'll load you into this giant machine, you'll check the functionality of the guns

#

Does anyone have any ideas?

spring helm
#

Ideas for?

silent crane
#

For the new version of Lore

dusk laurel
#

What?

spring helm
#

So the premise is
Draedon made an AI that does something non-combat related, and somehow someway that AI is now piloting a machine that’s loaded with weapons

#

Did I get that right?

silent crane
#

Yeah

proven rivet
spare pier
#

The problem is I fucking hate the idea of Draedon getting more shit after Exo Mechs HDfailure

#

But yeah no it's perfectly fine to make addons out of scrapped concepts

What is CCR?

Calamity Community Remix

#

A bit of a shitpost-y mod based on Fandom wiki content

silent crane
#

Understood

#

How often do people return to old concepts?

sage berry
#

I don’t let go of ideas completely very often

#

Usually they end up reworked and changed til they can work in a different way

#

Just how my mind works tho

split mortar
# silent crane How often do people return to old concepts?

For calamity addons? All the popular boss ones do

Astregeldon is literally a boss that got replaced

Noxus is based on old lore dark god noxus

Goozma is an even older version of noxus before they were named noxus

Nameless deity was going to be like the old lore xeroc who was God or something

silent crane
#

So the reprocessing of Andromeda is taking place

sage berry
#

What was the original Andromeda?

split mortar
#

Like some super big robot thing draedon made iirc

#

Like a post yharim boss I think ??

sage berry
#

A planetary weapon?!

#

I’m sorry!?

#

Oh yeah the re scale

split mortar
#

In old lore characters were much stronger then that iirc

silent crane
#

We made a couple of options here

sage berry
#

I imagine many timeline versions of Andromeda are scrapped in development

silent crane
#

I think so

#

Calamity's lore has been rewritten many times

pliant ruin
#

If Andromeda was in new lore i'd like her to be entirely unrelated to draedon

#

😌

untold oracle
#

Since definitive version

split mortar
#

They plan on being much less rewriting of the lore with the current lore

pliant ruin
#

hiiiii

#

there's so much

tall delta
#

andromeda was going to be what is today the exomechs

split mortar
#

Hai cheese

pliant ruin
#

draedon stuff already...

#

hiiii

untold oracle
#

Wasn’t andromeda just hekate

Or what is it

cant wait to see what triangle and his team is preparing for the mmd addon

light linden

mmd?

sage berry

spring helm
#

I have an idea, but it’s still kind of related to Draedon

pliant ruin
#

I have an idea

#

it's called

pliant ruin
#

martians

spare pier
#

Let's not get too crazy now hdflr

pliant ruin
#

how is andromeda being related to martians too crazy

spring helm
#

Cyborg NPC mentions that his creator wanted to make something that surpassed Draedon’s creations.

Andromeda could be an attempt at that

pliant ruin
#

they're canon to calamity, aren't they

deft vessel
#

Agreed

spare pier
pliant ruin
#

Who said i'm following that idea

#

It'd be dumb if draedon had a post yharim weapon too tbh

#

Unless there was like

#

a huge timeskip

spare pier
pliant ruin
#

Who said i'm making an addon

#

i'm just

#

sharing my thoughts on what i think would be a cool new lore interpretation of andromeda

#

that isn't just Draedon Machine Numero Nove

spare pier
#

I do agree that it being just Draedon Machine Again is the single worst outcome

#

I just think that if the only thing you inherit from Andromeda is

#

It being a machine

#

It's not Andromeda

untold oracle
deft vessel
#

How about its a Draedons creators machine

pliant ruin
#

Draedons creators is draedon lets be real

untold oracle
#

Mhm

spare pier
sage berry
#

I’m curious about how Draedon would study consciousness… would he be interested?

spare pier
#

"It's a big slime"

devout grotto
#

Ok speaming or Martians

pliant ruin
#

I mean

#

what else is there too goozma
its a big slime

#

a crazy big slime

#

if anything

deft vessel
#

With rainbows

sage berry
#

It is all slime is it not?

pliant ruin
#

hotog goozma is so wildly different from og goozma

#

that its basically a different character

#

original goozma was a Ball

#

also andromeda is the name of a galaxy so it being tied to martians is automatically cool because martians = space clearly

#

and also martians dont do anything in cal lore despite being canon and i think itd be neat if we explored obscure cal lore stuff more

devout grotto
untold oracle
#

I think the addon should be called Hunt of the Deadly Old God
That way the acronym would be hotdog

devout grotto
spare pier
deft vessel
#

Tbh i would like to write about Yharim encountering GK Yharim

pliant ruin
#

being honest i don't even remember what andromeda lore was because old lore was really unorganized

#

i just remember supercomputer made by draedon

untold oracle
#

I find it a cool concept that something similar to Goozma could be the potential of slime god if they abandoned the balance hyperfixation and fell for gluttony

pliant ruin
#

i think the supercomputer part is more important than the made by draedon part

sage berry
#

Honestly the idea of a computational supercomputer the size of a planet sounds awesome…

spare pier
silent crane
#

Who is Draedon according to the lore?

spare pier
#

I see no reason to make Martians more relevant than they already are

pliant ruin
#

some nerd who has autism hyperfixation on everything

silent crane
#

I heard he's not from this planet.

pliant ruin
#

He is

#

#

That's old lore stuffz

#

But there Are Things

pliant ruin
#

More worldbuilding details on them would be nice

spare pier
#

If you want worldbuilding the last thing that'd be interesting is another Boss that is just a giant robot hdflr

untold oracle
#

What if Draedon wanted to know how Gods ”ascended” and proceeded to build absolutely massive cubes functioning as supercomputers?

pliant ruin
#

As far as i'm concerned there's as much on the martians as there is on like. Plantera. which is another thing that iis really underdeveloped imo

spare pier
#

Shocker

pliant ruin
#

Yeah but that's looking at it incredibly shallowly and not without any of the additional context that might come with it

sage berry
pliant ruin
#

Giving the martians their own related boss opens up alot of possibilities

spare pier
#

Yeah but we're talking about Andromeda

untold oracle
pliant ruin
#

It's not like it'll happen, anyways, but if it were to happen in a impossible theoretical, i think it'd be cool

sage berry
spare pier
#

Also we already have some stuff about the Martians in the Vanilla Bestiary Rewrite so

#

It's some minor stuff but I think it's all cool

pliant ruin
#

Andromeda was some space destroying planet buster in old lore, dosen't mean it'd have to be in a reinterpretation of it

sage berry
#

Where is Draedon in the civilization scale in terms of power usage.

silent crane
#

Okay, so Andromeda was created by Martians. Any more details on her history?

pliant ruin
#

That's a headcanon of mine

#

A theoretical one

spare pier
#

No that's just shit we're coming up with

pliant ruin
#

Andromeda itself isn't canon

spare pier
#

In the Old Lore Andromeda was a giant super robot citadel made by Draedon that was just meant to be a giant walking war fortress

#

It was, quite literally

#

Draedon Robot Número 9

pliant ruin
#

Andromeda(s) are martian automated motherships that act as their "homes" after their planet became unhospitable :fishmael:

pliant ruin
#

The andromeda you'd fight would be one of many

#

And it'd be like... a mid post ml boss, or something

devout grotto
#

I can't wait for the beastiary rewrite to drop so bad it's unreal

pliant ruin
#

Before polterghast... perhaps...

spare pier
silent crane
#

Let's take some details from both versions from here

spare pier
#

If the Martians have MULTIPLE things that are that strong

#

What the fuck

pliant ruin
#

They send them throughout space rather than having a army of them

#

There's a ton of them

#

But they're all in different corners of space

spare pier
#

Why

pliant ruin
#

Because they're not meant to be militaristic

#

They're meant to search for a inhabitable planet

#

And one just happened to find earth

#

:fishmael:

sage berry
#

Why would it find earth? Wouldn’t they have known we could by then

spare pier
#

Then why are they so fucking strong if they're not meant for military use?

silent crane
#

We'll probably just take the part where Andromeda is AI.

spare pier
#

You can only justify so much power as "self defense"

deft vessel
#

Having that strong of a ship for exploring is a bit weird

spare pier
#

Stronger than Providence doesn't feel like self defense

pliant ruin
#

Alternatively

#

Have andromeda itself not be much of a offensive force

#

Have the fight be several "waves", with each "wave" consisting of "Minibosses" which are Andromeda's designated weapons

#

like perforators

sage berry
#

Just tanky in the utmost degree?

spare pier
#

Then why don't they send like, twenty of them to the neighboring planet that is known for having a bunch of shit?

#

Terraria and Mars are close planets

pliant ruin
#

Make them not close to eachother, you all already made the sun not the sun and stars not stars anyways, it's not too much of a reach tbh

spare pier
#

And if they had 10 Andromedas I'd argue it'd be enough to conquer the planet

#

By that point you put into question literally everything about Mars

real silo
#

Andromeda is actually a world devastator from star wars

spare pier
#

If they aren't close together, why is there so much stuff of theirs in Terraria?

pliant ruin
#

What stuff

#

There's liek

#

martian invasions

#

that's it

spare pier
#

Yeah

#

An entire fucking army worth of Martians

real silo
spare pier
#

That descends the instant their Scouter detects something

deft vessel
#

Makes me think that there is a martian outpost near terraria

real silo
#

They have better tp tech

pliant ruin
#

Rogue space pirate martians

silent crane
#

How about this?
Andromeda are Martian automated motherships controlled by an AI of the same name, which serve as their "homes" after their planet became uninhabitable.

pliant ruin
#

Would explain why they're so much weaker... they have been exhiled....

spare pier
#

By that point you are twisting the entire Martian stuff and to me you even start to put into question how uninhabitable their planet really is if pirates have access to that kind of technology

pliant ruin
real silo
#

The martians we fight are actually elite martians all the poor people died

spare pier
#

There is but I digress

pliant ruin
#

atleast not until the bestiary gets rewrittne, which i don't have access to

#

so

silent crane
#

And after defeating Andromeda, she will return in the body of an android or something

pliant ruin
#

to me there's Nothing

spare pier
#

But like, there is still the second part

pliant ruin
#

The pirates stole it

#

👍

sleek halo
#

And if something like a deus gets infected and angry

deft vessel
#

Also if martians had something that strong Xeroc or someone could just blow it up

pliant ruin
#

So much cool things can be done if you just don't stick to the predefined rules and actually let yourself go wild tbh

spare pier
#

If their planet really is uninhabitable, how do they have the resources to just build giant habitable fortresses that roam space?

sleek halo
#

You’d better have a way to make it fuck off

spare pier
#

Which, if I may remind you

spare pier
#

Who said they had time?

pliant ruin
#

Their planet was going in shambles

#

they made like

#

15 andromedas

#

sent them out to random corners of space

#

go my fuckwogs

indigo glade
pliant ruin
indigo glade
#

It would be crazy if the thing that destroyed them was Moon Lord.

pliant ruin
#

This is a interpretation i'm making, so if i want to say they had time, then they could've had time...

#

They realized their planet was in a ecological collapse or something

silent crane
#

I imagined Fab looking in here and he like, "What the hell is going on here?"

pliant ruin
#

And decided

#

"Yeah we ain't saving this"

#

and used their resources to gtfo

spare pier
#

Also ngl if you want to make the ecological collapse thing it's way more interesting if they did nothing about it

#

Hello lore discussion! What’s up

Because, realistically speaking

#

That's exactly what's happening right now in our planet HDfailure

sleek halo
#

yeah

proven rivet
#

Bye bye National Weather Service in the US

spare pier
#

I'd prefer to nail down the idea that they were just grossly incompetent with their usage of resources, let their planet turn into what it did, and they are now dealing with the fallout

#

With absolutely no contingency

proven rivet
sleek halo
#

Most planets are not nearly as rich in resources in general

as Terraria

Also that

due to the sheer amount of thrings on it

There's also the Sun conundrum but I won't get into that because it's better not to

#

actually

light linden
#

I wonder if mars would also have a world soul

hot valve
#

Earth is pretty damn spoiled in real life too

silent crane
#

So, in order
The Martians faced the problem of a dying ecosystem on their planet and, deciding not to fix it, they created the Andromeda ship with the AI ​​of the same name. While in orbit, they stage the first unsuccessful invasion, after which they prepare for the second invasion using Andromeda

sleek halo
#

it fundamentally is strange

spare pier
#

I AM NOT CONFIRMING ANYTHING WHEN I SAY THIS

#

But Mars being far away from Terraria is problematic when you consider the Sun

sleek halo
spare pier
#

Because this would imply that either they managed to form a civilization without a Sun

#

Or there is another one

spare pier
#

Both options confirm something that I would prefer not to

deft vessel
#

Every planet just has their own mini sun

sleek halo
light linden
untold oracle
#

I can see Mars from my window at night

#

I have an idea that the sun is

hot valve
#

Oh wait is Mars, like, far away??

#

In calamity?

spare pier
#

No

proven rivet
#

Y'know I think that if someone makes an Andromeda addon, it will be very close to Star Dream from Kirby Planet Robobot. Its design is largely based off of it anyway

spare pier
#

It's still fairly close to Terraria

sleek halo
#

Essentially a different route

#

for stars go down

indigo glade
sleek halo
#

bloating and rotting

hot valve
#

So what do you mean by “without a sun”?

spare pier
#

IF

#

Mars is away from Terraria

sleek halo
#

and the sun goes down the route of crushing into itself

untold oracle
#

I think extremely rarely a close group of stars can melt and fuse into each other, the density forming a Sun

indigo glade
spare pier
#

^

untold oracle
sleek halo
#

I personally think more do

spring helm
#

I wonder how the orbits work without the sun being the dominant gravitational influence

spare pier
#

Mars being far away confirms if there are or there aren't

sleek halo
#

Just they’re immensely rare

spare pier
#

Which I do not want to

#

I think both options are equally as interesting

silent crane
hot valve
#

God the astrology of calamity is probably the most confusing aspect atm and I really hope it’s expanded on in the game eventually in the future

untold oracle
silent crane
#

I will make art based on this version

#

who tf gonna expand on it? astrum deus?

untold oracle
#

Though cool idea

hot valve
#

I dunno, books? Somewhere?

deft vessel
#

Fovos clueless

#

ignoring all of the stuff regarding andromeda

sleek halo

#

Ironically I had an idea for a way of expanding Astral Infection

sleek halo
#

nothing of cosmology can really be

#

confirmed easily

light linden
#

I really do hope the martians get something post ml

spare pier
#

Stars would be confirmed very easily

sleek halo
#

I would assume ppl like

hot valve
#

I mean surely someone had a telescope or something to confirm some part

sleek halo
#

Draedon and Permafrost would be the best way to get any knowledge on space

spare pier
#

Like, Stars are the one cosmological aspect people in-universe are completely aware of

sleek halo
#

Draedon because he literally needs to learn about it

untold oracle
spare pier
#

And that alone paints the picture for, well

#

Everything else

deft vessel
spare pier
#

If there are no Stars in Cal like there are in real life, then orbiting is an unlikely thing

hot valve
#

Yeah

indigo glade
sleek halo
#

Ngl I like my world soul theory on why it has domains n what not

spare pier
#

This means that solar systems aren't exactly a thing, more like planet clusters

hot valve
#

Black holes are also not going to form really

sleek halo
spare pier
#

See black holes are something I purposefully do not want to talk about in the story because

sleek halo
#

Which is why something like primordial light is in it at all

spring helm
#

Well how do the planets in the clusters prevent themselves from falling into each other

#

If they’re not orbiting something

sleek halo
#

And now gravity as well

silent crane
#

I already imagined the animation of Andromeda's death (infernum)
Ares appears and cuts Andromeda with his blades, causing her to explode

spare pier
#

I think it's WAAAAAY more interesting if people just come up with their own interpretations of what a black hole may be

hot valve
#

Fair enough tbh

untold oracle

#

With what I know about stars they sure are different!

#

the fact he himself admits he could just rebuild the sulphuric sea given enough time says a lot

spare pier
#

The Godseeker's bureaucrats would frequently remind me of how the public had organized to revolt against my advancement of science. From what they knew, they were justified. They feared what calamities further science could wreak upon Terraria, due to the destruction brought upon the Sulphurous Sea.

I thought such retaliation to be absurd, but it appears not all can see reason. Despite my infamy and legacy, technological advancements continue to be made by many other scientists across Terraria, even if the subject continues to provoke unfounded fear mongering.

Regardless, if I deem it necessary, I possess the means to simply rebuild the Sulphur Sea from the bedrock up. Restoring it to its pristine status would be a trivial matter and a testament to science's creative potential.

i wonder what draedon's current workplace looks like, like i think either i've dreamed or just imagined him allowing you to walk around his laboratory (after temporarily taking your tools and weapons of course) and giving insight on how he works

Just probably in a different way
