you make me believe this man is a devourer of gods and he cant punch with arms pathetic

limpid saddle
#

We know this gorbidden knowledge because we have lingered in this place for many moons & kneeled at the throne of the Calamity writers & claimed their boon of dev statements

unborn wind
#

thats kind of his thing. being pathetic

# dusk laurel gorbidden

I did a typo, corrected it, then undid the correction because gorbidden made me think of gorthus & that made me laugh

#

you're so real for that

#

so how does the magic system work in calamity
is there any particular magic system from other fiction that it's based off/inspired by

tranquil seal
#

Guys how have the writers literally made peak fiction

#

I’ve never been more invested in a story than this mod lol

split mortar
#

Tho it is heavily restricted by terraria mana system which is directly related to that

robust osprey
#

we atleast know that mana is pretty related to space stuff

#

2 of the 3 mana upgrades cal adds is atleast related to space

#

and like, stars are mana balls

split mortar
robust osprey
#

like outer space

split mortar
#

The stuff that make planets tend ti come from that

visual kiln
#

i wonder if mana’s like dark matter

#

u kno how planets apparently cluster?

#

in cal cosmology?

#

despite there being no sun to orbit?

#

my idea is that maybe they’re more like stars in a galaxy than planets in a solar system

#

they orbit a common centre of mass instead of a large central body

#

which would imply either A Lot of planets

#

or theres a lot of mass that isnt planets

#

n i think mana could fill that role

hidden niche
#

Anyone know how to add calmatiy on mobile

split mortar
visual kiln
#

alternatively there is a large central body they orbit but idk what it would be bc no sun exists

split mortar
visual kiln
#

and no indication of such a thing has appeared anywhere

#

it could (somehow) be the distortion (n i can think of a few ways for that to be the case) but also theres no indication the distortion’s somewhere in space

split mortar
#

If space gets warped enough then the universe corrects it, this is why portals are almost always unstable and explode after enough time

We dunno the limit for this correction to occure tho other then portals cause it
-# imo stuff much larger then planets experience it but most planets dont

split mortar
visual kiln
#

it takes energy to bend space

#

i imagine portals r temporary in cal for the same reason portals irl (well, wormholes) r unstable

split mortar
#

Pluh

visual kiln
#

they just kinda decay unless theyre fed negative energy which doesnt exist

split mortar
#

Oops ping

visual kiln
#

i dont think that prevents large amounts of mana from having gravity either tbh

#

mana is energy

#

energy bends spacetime

split mortar
split mortar
#

And what reb said doesnt mean only portals get exploded

#

Tho we dunno the actual limit till correction occurs

visual kiln
#

also there arent rlly any other ways that planet clusters can remain stable and exist

#

u might say massive central body they could orbit

#

which true yeah

#

but slso that’d distort spacetime FAR more than diffuse mana would and if the mana is enough to cause correction then this thing 100% would

#

u could also make the hypothesis that the planets r all like tethered together somehow

#

at which point i’d ask why they havent slowly gravitated together and collided and why the tethers even exist

#

and also the tethers havent been at all shown to exist so they probably dont

digital rivet

is the stardust dragon staff cannon in calamity lore?

digital rivet
#

i never seen it in the lore

pliant ruin
#

yeah because it's just a weapon

#

not every little thing needs extensive lore

spare pier
#

A better way of saying what I did is that, as we all know, space is not normally distorted and it takes energy to distort it. Keeping it distorted is hard and once that energy stops being outputted, space will return to normal. If you suddenly remove that energy, then space violently rebounds and releases back all of the energy used to create that distortion

pliant ruin
#

it's a cool staff u make out of stardust

visual kiln
spare pier
#

This is a real life theoretical phenomenon, it is simply exploited in-universe by things like Signus

visual kiln
split mortar
visual kiln
#

irl wormholes r unstable bc unless they have negative energy densities in them they just close over time

digital rivet
#

lore is too much idk

#

i think we should just all be friends and have a picnic

#

its a cool staff u make out of stardust

they should do a crossover with magic storage

she means in the calamity universe

#

not real life galaxies

digital rivet
#

ohhhh

digital rivet
#

wait do galaxies not exist in the calamity lore

visual kiln
#

stars in galaxies dont orbit black holes

split mortar
visual kiln
#

the black hole makes up like

#

almost 0% of the galaxy’s mass

#

they orbit the common centre of mass of everything in the galaxy

digital rivet
#

arent black holes bassicly an excessive amount of nothingness

pliant ruin
#

nah

manic coral
visual kiln
#

(which is generally where the black hole is

manic coral
#

unless you're asking like

split mortar
#

They are a singularity with fuck you density afaik

visual kiln
#

(((it sinks tldr

manic coral
#

for diagenic music in-universe

pliant ruin
#

black holes are a hyperdense singularity where space and time become the same

#

smth like that anyways

digital rivet
#

where do singularitys get their black hole from tho

#

why cant we have just a singularity

visual kiln
split mortar
visual kiln
#

and forms an event horizon

digital rivet
#

they should nerf black holes

pliant ruin
#

the reason you can never escpae a black hole once you go inside is because since space and time become one they lose their meaning and then you literally cannot walk outside of the black hole because of that

digital rivet
visual kiln
digital rivet
#

i know alot about black holes they just dont make sense

visual kiln
#

its a part of it yeah but also black holes r more stable geometries in spacetime than actual objects

split mortar
#

Does the gravity get stronger the closer to a singularity once past the event horizon

visual kiln
#

yea

digital rivet
#

yes

#

but it doesnt really matter tho

#

its like doing 100 dmg to a 1hp zombie but the closer u are u do more dmg

#

even if u do 10000 dmg its still gonna die

#

my analogies are too good

visual kiln
#

thats ehy bigger black holes r more survivable

young socket
#

like maths is blue

#

so

#

there is precedent for numbers having colours too

visual kiln
#

a black hole eith like 10 solar masses will rip u apart before u reach the event horizon

#

but a supermassive black hole u can fall for hours or perhaps even days

digital rivet
#

smal blackholes are deadlier

visual kiln
#

well past the event horizon

digital rivet
#

cause u get closer to the singularity quicker

#

thats the best way i can explain it in my own words

are there ants in the distortion

#

why doesnt statis just offer signus the rest of the limbs he has to get braelor out if he can just get more prosthetics

#

why doesnt statis just drink an omega healing potion to restore his missing limbs is he stupid

split mortar
pulsar ocean
#

i thought limbs were tasty

split mortar
#

We dunno whats up with them
Hell
Statis may have tried ti do that hence two limbs and signus just took the limbs and no braelor free

pulsar ocean
#

are we the only person in terraria to have regeneration besides some gods probably

split mortar
#

Elementals can come back from a lot, just slowly

But yeah generally im pretty sure losing a limb often means permanent damage

pulsar ocean
#

can nanomachines regrow limbs

#

what if we shared draedon's heart with statis

split mortar
pulsar ocean
#

didnt armstrong regrow his missing arm

#

nvm he had to pick it up and put it back in place for it to fully heal and im pretty sure statis's limbs are in the shadow realm

fading helm
#

big question, if draedon didnt make exo tech until after he left yharims forces, how did yharim himself manage to get exo tech into his auric armor?

split mortar
#

As in
Went back ti draedon after kicking them out

fading helm
#

ah i see, surprised he did thatngl

#

didnt see that part of the text

split mortar
pulsar ocean
#

yharim does big brain moves

#

he reads books

noble niche
#

Also as seen with the player, using exo tech can make you stronger than the mechs. Assuming yharim is like the player (has auric aurmor and big abs) I'd buy that yharim would be above exo mech tier after draedons work

pulsar ocean
#

gets stronger

Is there any place where I can read the lore directly? I came back to play calamity and I wanted to fully learn the lore, but I can't find any place where I can get a fully fleshed out explanation or at least an summary

Oh neat

sinful adder
#

time is, or is at least equivalent to, a direction. Going faster is rotating towards the time direction. Trying to go faster than light is like trying to go more north when you're already at the north pole. It doesn't make sense

split mortar
#

Wait wha
If its in the time direction why is light as fast as posible in space aswell

sinful adder
#

from its perspective

split mortar
#

Huh cool

sinful adder
#

light has all its time squeezed into a single instant

#

this also explains the time dialation stuff

split mortar
#

If things were to start like eventually going 99.999% speed of light would they get colder since the movement of the particales and how light is the speed limit?

sinful adder
#

no

#

heat particle movement is a different thing

I gotcha, electricity god got so desperate during the last days of the invasion that they decided to use all the remaining electricity they had to power an electric spaceship. The ship could stay powered indefinitely because of the sea prism generators and it's size meant that thousands of surviving citizens could escape but in order to launch they needed a diversion so the king, the ocean god, and the god of electricity mounted one last front to buy time until the ship launched

Is Vetrasyl gone when the player is around?

yes

cosmic zenith

"Is Vetrasyl in the room with us right now?"

I thought Yharon and Zaretros were the only named ones

Currently, yes

I think my favorite character to write for was either Daedalië or Gorthus
Yhorm was fun as fuck too

But I haven't written all of the ones I need yet

Rebecca's idea was really great

And Ansume's twin has quite an enjoyable personality to read/write imo

I wonder what they'll be doing in the lore 🙂

Or be the dragon of?

storms

lunar thorn
#

Ooo nice

#

Anything to do with storm weaver?

#

I'd think not, but I'd be interesting of the guy who killed Vetrasyl and consumed their soul was eaten by DoG, and Noxus recycled the eaten Storm God's essence to make Storm Weaver his sentinel

dusk laurel
#

otonilou consumed vertasyls soul

#

storm weaver is just a, coincidence ig

#

sw is a random animal from the distortion that escaped and became the apex predator of the sky islands

lunar thorn
#

Did it get more intelligence to fight the player later? I'm wondering b/c if it is a sentinel of DoG, I'm not sure how it could properly have the title without a developed mind, unless Noxus did something to make it smarter?

young socket
#

dog having sentinels hasnt been a thing for over 2 years

lunar thorn
#

Or the title is not literal

#

Oh

#

how much of the old lore was changed?

young socket
#

a lot of it

lunar thorn
#

so almost everything i'd be familiar with before 2 years ago is diffrent?

pliant ruin
#

the lore was rewritten from the ground up, ignore everything from 2 years ago lol

#

all of the past "sentinels" are now entirely unrelated to the devourer besides

#

all of them originating from the distortion

lunar thorn
#

man... I heard of a "great exodus" but not much about besides bosses being resprited as a result of it, is the lore changes from this too?

#

I think some devs left or something, but dunno why. Some of the new lore I heard is cool

dusk laurel
#

nah 22 is unrelated

#

the lore being rewritten was already planned

#

and the resprite thing was moreso planned resprites were scrapped rather than being the catalyst for bosses being resprited

lunar thorn
#

I haven't heard much about new lore, I got into the mod around 2020 and just got back into it after a 2ish year break, so the old news is news to me XD

#

How will the player discover the new lore bits through the journey to Yharim that haven't been added in yet? New tooltips or npc's mentioning stuff?

pliant ruin
#

Npc dialogues, lore tablet type things like the draedon bestiaries, enviromental storytelling, boss fight dialogue, whatnot

#

and yeah, tooltips too

lunar thorn
#

Enviromental storytelling like seeing alterations to terrain in relation to events in the past that lead the Terrarian to imagine what happend in relation to everything else they know?

#

or explicitly told to them?

pliant ruin

pliant ruin

silva

#

tarragon is not canon since its being scrapped

#

good

pliant ruin
#

for the reasons that it's yet another green nature themed armor which is a already very satured aesthethic in calamity and it dosen't fit providence, who is supposed to be the boss it comes from

magic epoch
#

there's even a green nature themed armor in vanilla!

long bloom
#

i have a crack suggestion that will never get accepted but i really wish it would

magic epoch
#

which is lol

pliant ruin
#

chlorophyte, perennial, tarragon, silva

#

too many .

#

also terra stuff, even if it dosen't have a armorset...

long bloom

remove chlorophyte and make perennial ore only in the jungle and also act like chlorophyte ore

with the growing in mud stuff

dusk laurel

perennial wouldnt fit

it already has plans

pliant ruin

the nefarious perennial biome

sinful adder
#

It was rejected

pliant ruin
#

that'd be weird its just replacing vanilla content with calamity content for no discernible reason

long bloom
#

chlorophyte just really doesn't need to be in the game, but the ore properties are cool
so move those to perennial

sinful adder
#

Perennial is stupid and shouldn't exist and every instance of it should be replaced with chlorophyte

perennial is the most forgettable cal ore/bar imo

They're talking about chlorophyte

i'm talking about chlorophyte

pliant ruin

ah

idk i dont think its stupid because lke

long bloom
#

in vanilla mostly

pliant ruin

both have their pros and cons

dusk laurel
#

isnt clorophyte the same tier as hallowed

pliant ruin
#

yeah

dusk laurel
#

like an alternate set

pliant ruin
#

its just more options for the player, i dont see an issue with it

#

i usually use hallowed over it

long bloom
#

but you need hallowed to get it

pliant ruin
#

dosen't mean it's a better tier

sinful adder
#

Also, I think it's really stupid to have two plant themed materials right next to each other in progression, and to completely rework one of them because it sucks, as opposed to just removing it entirely

long bloom
#

it's just unintuitive

pliant ruin
#

well the perennial biome would happen regardless

and it needs some material to reward the player

We don’t really have enough information to say for certain yet but like

Consider the fact that the main and really only source we have on Xeroc being a shitlord currently is lead r/atheism moderator Yharim

And he speaks very confidently about Xeroc’s ascension when his ass wasn’t even there to see it

Xeroc tries too hard imo

cloud ibex

It’s very much possible that he’s running entirely off of word of mouth from Literally The Most Biased Dragon In Existence on the matter

He has main character syndrome

Presumably without someone manipulating it it burns out, searing the land with it's Primordial Light until it runs out of energy

he drops dragon hunter gear

and like

#

how would they know

split mortar
mighty zenith
#

yes

pliant ruin
#

if dragonfollies and eidolon wyrms were hunted bc people thought they had auric souls

long bloom
#

so auric souls indirectly reduce lifespan by making everyone want to kill you

#

yes

pliant ruin
#

old duke is gonna be a even bigger target, auric soul or not, because of how old he is, and unless you were There during the draconic age you would've had no way to know he didn't have one

#

so i don't think it changed much

robust osprey
#

yeah he is old as fuck there's no way he isn't auric

#

(spoiler: he isn't)

also the future doc says old duke will be renamed

do we have any idea as to what

Dont think so

he will get resprited, I highly doubt renamed

maybe a name

A dev has mentioned of brainstorming some renames back when old duke stuff was public

why is this shit so confusing man 💔

Yharim also is a bigot

WHY HE HATES THEM

i mean he is just straight up racist against gods

gods are a species technically

hes just jealous

-hates lihzahrds

the gods thing is a grey area imo, as (from what I remember?) most gods ascended through morally dubious means at best

its his plans

regardless it is a prejudice

we just know some did, and yharim doesnt give a shit how they got the soul

and yharim is a big bitch boy

mighty zenith
#

if you're a god and/or associated with one you are on his hitlist

twin portal
#

yharim is a deeply prejudiced individual and i hope to play his ribs like a xylophone

mighty zenith

i wanna eat his ribs

split mortar
#

Yharim also ignores if the dragon was good or bad or if the god was a good or bad person just sees it as god is death penalty

So if Yharim wants us to continue his crusade, how many gods are left he expects us to deal with?

I like watching reviews of manga like opm

it's not for everyone because it has some very potentially uncomfortable scenes and the plot can also be hard to interpret at a first glance but once you immerse yourself and start to understand what its story is actually about you realize its peak and appreciate the amount of layers upon layers of depth ti has
