Please don’t send your pet tank to jump on me

delicate oak
#

does anyone have the document about how much damage would a nuclear bomb would do in terraria?

pliant ruin
#

the what

delicate oak
#

i remember a document being posted here

#

about how much damage would a nuke would deal in terraria

#

when using dynamite as the scale.

frosty shale
#

the Little Boy explosion had a radius of 1.3 km
how many tiles is that

#

a tile is 3 feet right

#

0.9144 metres

#

so...

#

1422 tiles radius of explosion origin

#

hope this helps

#

anything within 3827 tiles would be killed

pliant ruin
#

This is just. one of the least expected things ive seen in here nad that's

#

saying something

frosty shale
#

I swear every time I open this it's just chaos

delicate oak
#

or maybe im just having a bad memory

pliant ruin
#

It's just

#

unexpected, i suppose

delicate oak
#

i swear theres a document about it long ago

frosty shale
#

a surprise, to be sure, but a... welcome? one

#

i mean

frosty shale
#

assuming the bomb is of similar strength to the Little Boy explosion in Hiroshima, Japan in 1945

frigid sage
#

How many blocks

frosty shale
#

8400 tiles wide

frigid sage
#

6 nukes

frosty shale
#

so if you detonated the Little Boy explosion in the centre of a large world, it would destroy everything out to 2778 from each ocean

#

only the left and rightmost 373 tiles would be safe

#

but that's just the lethal blast zone

frigid sage
#

6 nukes at most to destroy terraria

frosty shale
#

so I'm sure the entire world would be irradiated or injured

frigid sage
#

Yes

frosty shale
#

you can safely ignore the Sulphur Sea because... yeah

#

so just shift it left or right a bit

frigid sage
#

Yup

frosty shale
#

and BOOM; no more Terraria

frigid sage
frosty shale
#

well that's because Silva

#

or what's left of her

frigid sage
#

True

frosty shale
#

which makes me wonder, could Silva reverse the effects of a nuclear fallout?

frigid sage
#

What if we destroy all the plants to kill Silva?

frosty shale
#

doesn't she exist outside all those plants?

#

like, Silva isn't the plants, she's the reason there are plants

#

kill all plants, Silva just makes more

frigid sage
#

She can’t die as long as there are plants

frosty shale
#

ah

frigid sage
#

So if we kill all plants and then obliterate the abyss and after that nuke it we can actually kill Silva

frosty shale
#

so kill all plants
kill abyss
Hiroshima, Japan c. 1945

and there we go, no more Terraria

frigid sage
#

Yes

#

Just ask Draedon for help

frosty shale
#

of course, a modern nuclear weapon could destroy a Terraria world thousands of times over

frigid sage
#

Yes

frosty shale
frigid sage
#

A hydrogen bomb and Draedon could destroy a planet

frosty shale
#

compared to the weakest of IRL nuclear weapons

#

Gauss Nukes have such a weak radius

frigid sage
#

Yeah

frosty shale
#

so Draedon actually isn't very good at massive planet-destroying weapons

frigid sage
#

Wdym?

#

He can easily destroy the planet

frosty shale
#

I was referring to the gauss nukes Ares has

magic epoch
#

not profitable

frosty shale
#

but I guess that makes sense since Ares is a weapon of war, not a planet-killer

#

don't need actual nukes on a war machine

frigid sage
#

Gauss nuke is maybe made of technetium

magic epoch
#

THORIUM?!?

#

HOOOOLLLY FUCK

frigid sage
#

No

magic epoch
#

IISSS THAAT

frigid sage
#

Not anymore

#

A TMODLOADER REFERENCE?!?

#

There's some physics thing that when force is concentrated into one spot more and more it becomes stronger than if it were spread out

frosty shale
#

surface area, yes

#

(and volume)

real silo
#

If ares has a real nuke then he literally will just kill the other exos and himself

frosty shale
#

what if ares has nuke resistant plating

#

and the other mechs

#

i'm sure draedon can make that

light linden
#

I

#

Where do I even start with that

#

Nuke resistant plating isn't a thing

#

Radiation resistant is

#

But no matter what

pliant ruin
#

i mean it dosen't but

#

draedon probably could make it

light linden
#

A point blank nuke even if the exo mechs could survive the 10+ million degree blast, the EMP from the blast, AND the concussive force strong enough to flatten skyscrapers

real silo
#

Thanatos could maybe not get turned to dust

#

The others have no chance though

light linden
#

They would likely be thrown off immensely or at the very least have their steering severely messed up

light linden
#

It would get cooked like a crab and the EMP would fry whatever wasn't cooked

real silo
#

Yea

light linden
#

That's also ignoring the possibility that the extreme force from a close range nuke could basically make it smash into itself if Thanatos was too coiled up

#

Ares would prolly have all of its arms ripped off

#

And the duo would prolly get sent flying

pliant ruin
#

thanatos is like a giant shrimpi f u think abt it

real silo
#

Thanatos is centipede

light linden
#

Hell the first ever nuclear bombs reached double the melting point of tungsten

#

And the ones we have today reach millions of degrees

#

And if Draedon found something that could withstand that heat he'd prolly have drilled into the center of the planet by now

#

Also using nuclear weapons in a place you're still trying to study is unwise

spring helm
real silo
#

Found a good one

#

Apparently from 5 years ago damn

manic coral
#

whats the point of a real nuike if it's gonna make several miles uninhabital and just cause the mechs to damage themselves

frosty shale
#

I mean it does make sense it'd be weak

#

since Ares is a fine-tuned war machine, not a WMD

manic coral
#

yeah

frosty shale
#

WMD doesn't feel like Draedon's style

#

just bio-mechanical plagues

split mortar
manic coral
#

he doesnt care about fucking up the environment but making an environment not an envrionment anymore is somethign that messes with stuff he'd maybe wanna do too

#

at least thats what Draedon nowadays thinks

sinful adder
#

Makes sense

#

Honestly Draedon sounds ok to have around under the condition that there's someone stronger than him to protect life

#

Like, he is undoubtedly dangerous

split mortar
#

-# xeroc

cloud ibex
#

That’s what I was thinking

sinful adder
#

But also very useful

#

Xeroc would be unlikely to be involved

cloud ibex
#

Road trip comedy where draedon’s trying to do research and Xeroc is trying to reel him in whenever he gets too far away from scientifically unhelpful things like “ethics” or “morals”

split mortar
#

Yes

#

Correct

#

You have won

sinful adder
#

There is something I find interesting...

#

Having morals makes perfect sense from a purely logical perspective as an interaction between beings at a similar level of power/influence to each other and which are sharing the same world

#

This is probably why keeping Draedon in check with equal power would work. They can be reasoned with, because having morals is logically sound in such situations

limpid saddle
#

That tracks, given in his Communication dialouge he constantly reassures the Terrarian he won't seek further ecological harm upon Terraria with things like the Plauge nanovirus & his waste dumping in the Sulphurous Sea, this also implies one, I imagine fairly consistent characteristic about the Terrarian themselves, that being, to some extent, they care about the enviornment & the natural order

pliant ruin
#

Draedon is honestly pretty beneficial to the world at large when he isn't doing Horrors

cloud ibex
#

“The horrors are fully within my comprehension this time. I don’t know if that makes it better or worse”

mossy parcel
#

I think areses nuke arms trow actual mini nukes since calamitas canonically incinerated the sea and the exo mechs have the same strenght

untold oracle
#

I don’t think draedon would use WMDs

#

Why delete message?

real silo
#

they don't have to be real nukes

#

Even mini ones

sleek halo
#

(an exaggeration but still)

#

Idrk how many goals he has on this planet still

hollow osprey
#

draedon is just chill guy that lowkey doesn't give a fuck, he's like, just doing his own thing, yeah he could solve every issue, but he has his own priorities

sleek halo
#

Yeah

untold oracle
#

If you got a severe illness for example and you went up to draedon would he put in the effort to help you (I assume he could cure it rather easily)

cloud ibex
#

if it's very rare probably

real silo
#

so fucked up how he has so much knowledge of shit but he just uses it to make weapons

mighty zenith
real silo
#

no mention of him making idk super healing aids or artificial human brains

#

imagine a draedon brand hospital

split mortar
real silo
#

but no mention of him using that tech to help brain injured people

#

selfish ahh mf

indigo glade
#

He cloned someone, does that count as an artificial brain?

split mortar
#

Guess so

#

Though soul isn’t artificial

untold oracle
real silo
#

Clearly not working very well clueless

split mortar
untold oracle
#

I imagine the terrarian in reality just furiously mashing random shit together for 14 hours straight

sleek halo
#

Tbf

#

He had an incentive to make weapons

#

which was getting as much stuff as he needed to do essentially whatever he wants in Yharim’s army

limpid saddle
hybrid barn
#

Kind of makes me wonder what he'd go on to make now that Yharim broke up with him, since he doesn't have that incentive anymore

untold oracle
#

So first of all he has to find a way to neutralise astral infection

split mortar
#

And teleport without wires

hybrid barn
untold oracle
#

How fun

split mortar
#

But yeah
wiresless long distance teleportation
Neutralise astral infection
Moon mining

#

That’s what I think the current plans are

hybrid barn
#

It's a little funny to imagine him finally figuring out that first part, while the mechanic's over in the corner watching her bank account run dry

untold oracle
#

I found a solution for draedon

#
  1. Get an ultra hd 96K max resolution screen
  2. Get better zoom and zoom out as far as possible
  3. When the moon appears on your screen, simply RoD there
  4. Profit

But then the primordial wdym will spawn and ask him why he's on the moon

Halloo

spring helm
#

Hello

cloud coyote
#

Jared is stronger than the Exo-Mechs?

spring helm
#

Yes

cloud coyote
#

Was the soul of Zeratross the stronger Auric soul?

spring helm
#

Yes

cloud coyote
#

In Calamity lore, why the Guide is connected with the Wall of Flesh?

mighty zenith
#

Iirc the connection will be explained in the next update

cloud coyote
#

Okay

mighty zenith
#

currently its unknown

limpid saddle
cloud coyote
#

With what materials are made the Exo-Mechs?

limpid saddle
#

Exo Prisms

#

Their super-strong attacks are also powered by an unstable form of Miracle Matter created by their own melting components

split mortar
#

An alloy that uses cosmilite as its main component

Thanatos is made specially tough since its shell was “grown” molecule by molecule by plasma jets but is way heavier thanks to it

#

And exo prisms supply the energy and focus for attacks

cloud coyote
#

Calamitas vs The Exo Mechs, who's the winner

limpid saddle
cloud coyote
#

So the material of the exo mechs don't melt down by the flames of calamitas?

split mortar
split mortar
cloud coyote
#

I mean Calamitas could just melt the material

cloud coyote
#

Calamitas would win?

limpid saddle
#

We don't know

#

It's not exactly a question with a clear answer no matter what way you cut it

cloud coyote
#

Because they don't attack at the same time, they have an order, depending which exo you pick

split mortar
#

Since they’re more built for a melee iirc I’d bet it but it would probably most of the time be a close draw

#

Wait just thought of the box arena

Yeah I think scal wins

cloud coyote
#

The

I don't remember his name

#

The Sepulturer?

If not then sep would prob slowly win

#

But if so then Thanatos would

limpid saddle

#

Draedons not the wisest with magic but yeah I do think they would find out before losing

limpid saddle

Plus it'd probably ram into some of them by accident anyway, if not steam or laser them

Is Yharim a god? Idk if he is considering he never consumed Yharon’s auric soul.

spare pier

You answered your own question hdflr

split mortar
digital anchor
#

Cool, seeing him as the main tyrant and antagonist but not a god had me conflicted for a second. Thanks

deft vessel
#

He wants to kill them all

limpid saddle
#

Actually on that, one little detail hasnt been all that clear to me

#

Since the Terrarian kills Yharon, are they a God?

#

Or does Yharim's bond to him prevent his Auric Soul being left behind for the Terrarian to munch on

dusk laurel
#

No

#

Yharon never loses his auric soul

#

He sends it to the aerie too quickly

#

We just get the fragments that get left behind

mighty zenith
#

if the terrarian absorbed yharon's soul, yharim would die

dusk laurel
#

Yep

#

That too

split mortar
dusk laurel

✂️

spare pier
#

I wouldn't say it's that small of a fraction, but still not nowhere near enough to make a proper ascension ritual

#

I'd say it's more akin to, well

#

A heart

#

In terms of size

limpid saddle
#

Alright, let's backpeddle a little here, how exactly does Yharon pull that little stunt off? & if he could do it, why didn't other hunted dragons pull it off? What seperates them?

dusk laurel
#

Waiting for the soul fragment resprite when Yharon gets reworked

indigo glade
#

Should be quite obvious that

#

he is the best at doing that.

spare pier
#

I'd say "and also in importance" but I don't want to give people the wrong idea and conveying what I wanna say properly is too hard

split mortar
mighty zenith
#

i always thought it was like, shedding

#

shedding and farting as in his soul scrapes off a few fragments with each death until eventually being reduced to nothing

spare pier
#

I think it's more akin to him losing a critical part of his Soul which makes so he must now spend a decade or so regenerating that part which is why his Rebirth takes so long

#

But, as I said

#

You still need the whole thing to make the ritual

light linden
#

Hi Rebecca

limpid saddle
#

Alright i've got my answers despite my gripes, gonna forward peddle now & ponder aloud 'i wonder if we're gonna do a Link's Awakening & find a big Yharon egg after we beat the shit out of Yharim'

split mortar
#

I’d say it depends on if the egg forms immediately and takes a decade to hatch or after years it forms and hatches

spare pier
#

As cool as it is, nah but that's more due to gameplay limitations

dusk laurel
#

Doesn't it take a decade to form the egg

Have you written any of the stuff for Providence?

Rebecca is the providence writer person iirc

I'm wanting to know if Providence having her own biome is kinda a thing unique to her

Yeah, Providence is the only Boss that shows up ingame with a proper biome

And also, yeah one of the few capable of making that kind of shit

Actually a better way to put it

spare pier

Considering that, well

#

Ok by this point basically everyone agrees Providence is the Goddess of Ash

Did any other gods have biomes of their own creation?

So, obviously

If she burned shit

That's her Domain

#

Please change scorn eaters

split mortar
dusk laurel
#

Obviously

limpid saddle
#

Well it seems like Gods that dont meet some unknown criteria never directly inherent the fundamental aspect that defined that Auric Soul, it's always a 'downgrade', they represent the aftermath, because if Providence is a Goddess of Ash, then she's the burnt out embers of Fire, a more direct tie could be made with the Dragon Of Gluttony & Slime God, in this interpretation the Slime God being uh

#

shit

#

there's no mincing words here

cloud ibex
#

slime god is a gluttonous slime

limpid saddle
#

So an Auric Soul of the tectonic plates would, if not a direct translation, probably end up as a God of Earthquakes or something

cloud ibex
spring helm
#

it's kind of funny that gods receive their domain based on their personality, which means that Slime God is just naturally slimy/slime-like

The ascendee's domain could be something related, rather than a smaller aspect of the dragon's domain

#

the slime god lore

limpid saddle
#

Sacrifice is like a downscaling of death, because to sacrifice is to lose something, usually something that can never be returned, but more often the not sacrifice leaves the sacrificee with regret

#

It takes out sheer oblivion & rips out something important to you instead, until there is nothing left to take

boom it still works

I sacrificed some money

split mortar
split mortar
#

Though yeah that’s just my guess and that’s a vague guess

wheat walrus
# wheat walrus astrum deus threw it hard enough to cause the earthquake, gravity could have had...

the kinetic energy calculation used the weight of a meteor (separated by asteroids, who are as large as cities often times; so the meteor I used was 60 metric tons, 60000 kg), while using the average speed of a falling meteor from orbit, 11 kilometers per second and that gave almost 900 tnt tons, almost small town level

there is a statement about how there was an earthquake around start of hardmode from the guide, the guide in calamity has 2 statements at the start of hardmode, one talking about checking out Hell since he left a friend in there, the other one talking about an earthquake caused by something otherworldly; last I checked the astral meteor falls around that time

so I calculated the power of a magnitude 4,5 earthquake (average magnitude of an earthquake that is felt but doesn't cause important damage) using the formula that is utilized for meteor-triggered earthquakes specifically, that gave almost 900 kilo tons, 1000 times the kinetic energy calc

so unless the statement doesn't refer to Astral Meteor falling, which I assumed both because of the reasons I said earlier and because the astral meteor causing a shaking effect when you're around it last I checked, then this calc should be correct and scale to Astrum Deus since the meteor most definitely wasn't just dropped to have 1000x the energy it would have if it just fell because of gravity

light linden
#

Also obligatory-

#

alright gn chat i need to sleep

Though, I guess the closest way of explaining it is that it's similar to how one would put atoms into molucles to produce new elements

As Cosmic Mine says, spatial distortions are rapidly corrected in a quick burst energy

#

So it's very easy to say that Shakidou's main power is just that

#

Causing spatial distortions and therefore strong bursts of energy

#

Which one could tank through

light linden
#

I just noticed your pfp is iono lmao

spare pier
#

Strong enough to hurt, weak enough for people to not be instantly vaporized by HDfailure

split mortar
#

Probably depends on the portal

spare pier
#

It's not just a portal, as I said

#

Spatial distortions in general

light linden
#

I caught the sneasel

#

Ok back to what I was about to ask

split mortar
#

Depends on the spatial distortion I think

#

Ceaseless void would prob be a gigantic fucking energy burst while dogs are not harmful until the fireballs

wheat walrus
#

besides, cosmic mine says this
"Tearing a rift into our world from the distortion takes vast amounts of energy; that is, unless you are a being of both worlds. Signus alone can create these portals with such ease, but even it cannot sustain them for long before the energy used to open them violently disperses" seems a lot less like the spatial distortion disperses the energy, and more like creating one is what takes energy

spare pier
#

God imagine if DoG's rework gives him a giant fucking flamethrower through his mouth

light linden
#

Is the automatic portal closing akin to the process of antimatter being created and then immediately vaporized?

I assume it's about density

light linden

Top and bottom

#

Strange and charm

#

Up and down

spring helm
#

ok how about this

In a black hole, gravity is so intense at the singularity that space and time switch. This means that spatial movement in the black hole is actually movement through time, and the singularity exists in the future rather than the present. Of course, because causality doesn't work like that, the event horizon kind of "shields" the singularity away from the rest of the universe, forcing anything that could observe it to be separate from the rest of the universe as well.

spare pier
#

Yeah I know how that stuff works

light linden
#

And to my knowledge every pair but up and down are too unstable outside of a neutron star

spring helm
light linden
#

Or at the very least too unstable on their own

#

Makes sense?

wheat walrus
# wheat walrus I assume it's about density

and something similar to energy/mass conversion, but instead of conversion it works like this:
focus a shitton of energy in an extremely small place, say something possibly as small as atoms or even planck size if we wanna be real, more energy than there can be in such a space; reaching an energy density limit but instead of using it as a reverse mass/energy conversion (which is what nukes do to create energy), you force it to remain energy which farts a distortion
