Wielder of the Ogscule Crown
it's funny cuz I think duke fishron is one of the best bosses in vanilla
But I'm totally down to get something fresh and better - recolored duke wasn't very exciting
plus we already have a knockoff duke fishron in yharon
Real
unique ai gif
Old Duke turning into banished baron
I mean Yharon feels more original than Old Duke
baron of the strait
gee i wonder why
what would make it good then? being super flashy with high resolution projectiles? being bigger? a boss doesn't need all that to be good
banished baron (if I'm thinking of the right boss) has lasers and nukes and therefore is Cool
banished baron takes like nothing from duke besides charging at you
I just love the sentry weapon it drops. My favorite weapon in fargos so far (I haven't gotten past like early mid hardmode my friend and I have been procrastinating)
Not just be a boss but we threw it into the sewer
The scrapped resprite was a better execution of thing but old since it was so old stuff evolved away from its look
deadass cannot tell if this is bait or not but a reskinned and tankier version of a boss made to be a quick and fast paced fight is not fun at all
fandom wiki lowkey gets Ws now and then
pyrogen was a big W
kulu yharon ku's page made me laugh
I like both the current and the scrapped sprite
Ok
I genuinely find his current state good but there's definitely a lot of room for improvement
it is fine to like something but saying it's fine as is is just straight up wrong
my honest take is I don't think old duke was too horrible - I liked the predictive dashes and stamina mechanic. compared to some of the more obnoxious bosses in this mod, old duke fared pretty well
now with all that said I'm cool with the replacement concept we've been hearing about. from what I've heard devs mention, they're interested in keeping stamina and predictive dashes in the new boss if possible - so I'm looking forward to see what we get from this
predictive dashes are really fun
i just find it annoying that in a mod plagued already by bad boss design we have a post ml reskin of a previous boss
true
eternity old duke is the only good version of the fight and i will die on this hill
what's eternity
dang what
Imo old dukes boss design is shit
The sprite quality is fine
Fargos calamity dlc
I have yet to see that
I didn't know that
Been out for quite a while
Not complete tho
the sprite quality is good i agree, just the monopalette is
eh
Monopallete is a thing calamity does a weirdly high amount
it is yeah
I am still at skeleprime in my masodeath run 
Skip to plantera!
hell nah
Can i skip anihita or nah?
literally polter (blue plant)
If nothing else I'm happy that calamity vanities will probably keep references to old duke - I like how that mod acts as a sort of archive for old boss stuff
eternity/maso twins is some of the most fun i've had in terraria
why are twins reworks always good
Drives me crazy in astral in particular. Pretty biome except you get sick of looking at it for too long lol
masodeath twins watching in horror as I pull out my glorious end
Cause the twins themself is also good in vanilla
destroyer got slaggsplitter pauldron'd
Destroyer try not to get melted in vanilla challange
in my run
destroyer either gets melted in seconds or is a pain in the ass
there is no in between
Yeah
Destroyer is either getting melted or is a massive damage sponge
maso destroyer pulling a sans aah attack at the end
eternity destroyer is cool
i don't really like the contact damage considering the emphasis on dodging the balls
and lasers
It was the weakest mech in infernum
disagree
hard disagree
inf destroyer is easy but skele prime is there
I mean weakest as in quality
i know
infernum destroyer actually did something different with the boss
how spoilerous
ravager rework tomorrow
skele prime is still good but not as good as destroyer and definitely not twins
meopw
I think we can all agree the twins the by far the best in infernum
Oh lol
whoopsie daist6
Used plantera gear on them so i cant say
anyways where do i annoy devs for patreon server
Mod mail i think
you have to link your discord to patreon
i did
and a bot should automatically dm you the invite
i have server member dms off
byeah contact modmail if ur having issues
just ask modmail for an invite if the bot doesnt work (thats what i did)
modmail just helped me through linking the accounts
they didn't give me an invite directly
caalm ity
you know
unless the lore changes
i kinda feel like the new desert scourge (as well as the currnet one) dont really fit the lore
they dont look like filter feeders
Desert scourge isnt a filter feeder iirc
Aquatic scourge is the filter feeder
Theyre different soecies
lore doc says it was
lore doc is dumb and stupid
why is ds a filter feeder
Why are either a filter feeder
im just saying even if da adapted to eating bigger creatures
it didnt adapt
next thing youre going to tell me is that sunken scourge is a filter feeder π
that wouldnt change the way its mouth should look
it always hunted bigger things
Desert scourge actually just uses those big ass jaws to eat lots of sand
no it didnt!
It's filter feeding is within its stomach
yes it did the lore doc is outdated and old and ahsn't been updated in 500 years
the lore says desert scourge used to eat microscopic things
thats not even lore doc exclusive
lore doc should be blown up to smithereens i think
the only source of that is yharim who notably is not good at biology given that they thought storm weaver was the same species as the devourer and if i had to guess it might get rewritten
but it has like
meat cutting teeth
desert scourge is not a filter feeder
which is weird
Yea that's for rocks
yes it has big meat cutting teeth becasue it eats meat
Don't worry cheese I will always undermine you with ridiculous misinformation
Ive never seen anyone mention scoog as a filterer until today
the singular yharim lore item
Banning you
The singular bad at biology so i ignore the guy
i mean go read the item
it says it
which was not only one of the first things ever written for the mod and probably outdated at this point
but also
yharim literally has been shown to be bad at biology before
the lore itens got rewritten
Lore items from yharim the guy who sucks at biology
he thought storm weaver was the same species as devourer
which, it sint
i'm aware, the lore items were one of the first things written for the rewrite
they're still outdated, atleast a good few of them
just feels like a stupid detail for them to make him wrong about
I mean didn't they say they won't be completely rewtitten again
(we do need to actually see any of this stuff written out in-game for it to finally be real instead of just plans)
because its outdated
Not completely no
Just a few lore items might be changed
I really just said rewtitten
empress of light is one of the most likely ones
I'm so washed
But yes DS is very clearly designed to eat giant rocks and break them apart for the juices inside smh
sends u to hell
buffs snapthorn
nerfs snapthorn
i mean inscisors still dont make sense for that
its a durophage
They're to stab into the rocks and check them for juices
The molars are further back
You have no in-game evidence that I'm wrong
You have no way of stopping my fists reaching ur face
π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π
Wtf
also to be clear i dont even care, i just thought it was interesting because the old desert scourge ironically looked more like a filter feeder than current ones
i mean yeah
i dont think any of them looked like filter feeders
it was written when brown ds was still ingame
they all had big ass teeth
i dont think old ds had teeth
bird scourge in particular really didn't look like a filter feeder
i can kinda see it for brown DS
hate
im attached to this one d ont hate him
hes goofy
he sucks objectively speaking but im attached
bast statue gives protection to said fists
pre 2025 desertscourge designs dont just be a incredibly uninspired and generic sandworm challenge
you know its kinda funny that like
red scourge tried harder to make it look aquatic than most designs that came after
and that's like a incredibly low bar
because all it does is have little tail fins
it's pretty sad in hindsight
was sunken sea even a thing back when red scourge existed
no
pretty sure red scourge was 1.0
it existed until 1.1.5
sunken sea was 1.4.2
sunken sea wasnt a thing but im pretty sure the lore of DS being a water guy that had its home dried up had been a thing since its initial conception
that would make sense
which again makes it pretty sad that literally none of its designs tried in any way to reflect that
π
true................
wdym things turn into sand when exposed to the desert long enough
π₯
thats how it works
i love my abyss rock golems
waiter waiter
more creatures that look like they're made out of the material their biome is made of for some reason
garbo
mods, add an electron
this one
i see
tragic
yeah alright its the fucking mr beast scam
π
mr breast
givme em money mr breast
curious how the abyss worldgen rework's gonna look
since its wider than the current abyss
also a terminus shrine
i hope it's a little less.,,, linear?
like, i get that its meant to be a trench and all
but its a tad boring to just
fall down
u only rlly fall down in layer 4
it feels less like a trench and more like a cave
also trenches tend to slope down, and theres kinda like, none of that
i dont think theres room in the world for that
Extra large world size
abyss subworld clearly
what about a domworld
Maybe the sunken sea is the ocean that sits below the beach that makes you old
ive been there
i dont think its the beach
im pretty sure its the rocks
beach that makes you old subworld
Instructions unclear; I summoned a titan
I mean real life fish tend to blend into their environment, flounder and catfish actually are great examples
Yeah but I really doubt it's the reason why all those cal enemies are sprited like that
Yeah I know that but I kinda like that all the sulphurous sea enemies look like they could hide in the sand and rocks
They can still look more visually interesting
wobbegongs irl also hide in sand and try to blend with it, but they don't literally look like sand
That depends on which kind though
tasselled wobbegongs absolutely blend very well with the sandy floor
Fish and squid and stuff that live in corals don't look like sand
they look like coral
they can still blend with the environment without looking like Just the Base Block
what throu said
you can make something camo while still making it visually interesting
and yeah that definitely wasn't the reasoning behind it
great example: octopuses
specially when you consider that most of the monopaletted enemies aren't meant to camouflage, like, at all
they rarely actually have camo for one specific environment, they just become camo whenever they want
The only vaguely camo critter is flak crab
In general I think that biome blending type creatures are a bit boring as enemies in terraria/terraria mod. Like yeah, creatures irl do that sometime, but they still have pretty cool appearance and not always use the same colors as their environment, they can still vary.
I #nooticed that when people come up with concepts for biome enemies, they often go for "mimick/blending with environment/monopalette rock golem" first (it's very evident with calamity critter contest that happened a while ago)
I think it's just not super original and can be better
octopi
octo pie
Spie
I think a good remedy for this would be to mimick/imitate a biome's theme rather than it's physical traits or colors
I think a really good example of this is with RoR2 and how it uses it's enemy variety. Something like a Greater Wisp doesn't really fit, say, the Abyssal Depths visually, but from a theme and tone view it matches perfectly
i mean, thats basically the plan the devs are taking
It's a biome drenched in a blazing heat with lots of chains and monoliths and whatnot, so it'd make sense that an artificial lifeform such as a Greater Wisp would inhabit it
@mighty geyser pie
I have bad mews
oh not to you
just in general I have bad news
I didn't even see what you were talking about
wawa, what's the next major update?
I see there's a minor update scheduled soon from the changelog
what tiny dots?
what? theres nothing indicating that on the changelogs
.
the diminute white dots on the nuclear terror redesign
that people somehow thought were eyes???
1 pixel eyes is crazy π π
Damn weβre not deleting Old Duke?
You're not?
Iβd delete him in a heartbeat
he's getitng ship of theseus'd
very very technically not being deleted but its like a whole other thing so
fish of theseus
Oh good
mostly just the lore of old duke that seems to be adapted i think, because his lore is unironically very cool and fits nicely in the mods narrative
so "new" old duke seems like its just doubling down on that
pig death
I hope that whatever replaces Old Duke
no more boar
can make the Polterghast defeat condition of acid rain tier 3 make sense
because that doesnt make any sense to me
old duke wont be at the end of the acid rain anymore
terror is taking its rightful place
old duke is just a seaprate boss
Duke Jr
he says how do you do fellow kids
π
He isnt

He filter and collect sand though and store it in a special organ to use later
But he dont filter feed
please just call it the recolored dune splicer
i dont think i can take much more of people calling it red scourge
not for eating ig?
WTFF
thank god
what is it
Idea would slap as part of drunk seed
Drunk fishron
Instead of doing predictive dashes he does unpredictable dashes and bumps into random spots
Instead of getting tired he can hit his head against tiles which would knock him out
Octopie would make a neat dinner pie
look
"red scourge" is less wordy than "recoloured dune splicer"
dont hate me for being EFFICIENT
though ye a thats literally what it is
Is that really so
I don't think there was much though there he was just a desert worm
Dokuro music wasn't real yet nor lore not anything
No i'm pretty sure there was already lore
Very crude and primitive lore that was mostly just written by fabsol but it existed
If you go all the way back to the calamity forums you can see that some characters where a thing all the way back then
Braelor Existing predates almost all of the mod's history
π
How dare you
Master Mode Revengeance was truly Malice mode all along
It found it's way back into the game
Go my random bullshit all over the screen
add the pit

Ooo the spoilering
Desert
huh
Become Mr Breast for free
give me money
-300 doler coming to you
Nuclear Terror
insert job application
way ahead of you brother
Well I honestly perfer the idea of it being old duke
I dont on a basis that it would kinda make old duke akin to another nuclear terror
This honestly looks unlike nuclear terror in many ways
He ain't a funny insect anymore which I honestly liked before
The part im on about is how nuclear terror is a fucked up weird thing beyond saving and so is the resprite
Making old duke that also makes old duke a fucked up weird thing beyond saving (and cant serve as a tyrant of the acid sea which was pretty cool)
when the redesign is a redesign
still a pretty big change from green bug to the horrors
now it trully is a terror
nothing annoys me more on this community than people seeing a redesign and being "it dosent even look like xyz" YES BECAUSE ITS NOT MEANT TO βΌοΈ ITS A REDESIGN
Is it nuclear tho
No cause it doesnt look very nuclear
its mutated/ cursed due to the evil acid moon whatever β’οΈ

what is evil acid moon whatever
Acid moon being the parasite thing?
you know the desert scourge resprite is cool but it doesnt look exactly like current desert scourge
its kinda mid ngl
whoops phrased weirdly
only sent the new head because users were still basing themselves on the old one (the red one) and tobias had already posted the head gore too
yeah it was tobias who posted that and the sprite's length
sometimes my english just goofs up
guys the new thing that is meant to not look like the old thing dosent look like the old thing
horrible
guys supreme calamitas isn't a flaming eyeball anymore??? wtf how could they do this, that Woman looks nothing like supreme calamitas
nothing annoys me more than that and people thinking they have better ideas than the devs (then proceed to post an idea that is a ridiculous amount of extra work for no reason)
they should turn crabulon into a 3d ball
that one hakita quote
Game design is deceptively difficult
when i become a calamity developer
i have many ideas that are finished
also yeah jokes aside
game design is way harder than people think lol
some people genuinely think its "press button to add thing"
manta ra
hi am back
hi add manta ray
(the second part of this message is mostly about someone specific
)
i have bad news
what do you mean, you just hit "add yharim" and "remake biome" buttons
unrelated to manta ray
it requires alot of careful thinking abt how something would interact with other mechanics and also just testing
dont care
some of you may have already figured out this bad news
fun fact

The more I have worked in Calamity the more I realized that Terraria has a far more intricate design than people give it credit for
hit me, doc
Even if sometimes they shove that very good game design up their ass
there will be no pit? π¦
"this weapon is slow but deals big damage"
or
"this weapon is fast but deals little damage"
and that sort of thing
and like, that's just artificial variety lol
bad news is:
the Calamity Mod team has been forced to delay SSO somewhat by Toby Fox
its doing the same thing, effectively
he released a sleeper agent called "deltarune"
which has taken a toll on the development of SSO
can't believe you're adding all of deltarune to calamity
but fear not!
if u have different weapons/classes/etc in ur game u want each one of those to actually Feel different to play
tobias vulpine
we will overcome the deltarune virus
and get SSO out with a timeline of: when we finish it
in deltarune chapter 4 ||if you try playing megalovania on one of the pianos the annoying dog runs you over with a car ||
Shoutouts to me designing my Dev weapon and thinking "damn this shit is a lot" I realized
it's ok reb
Wait, I know why I don't like Ark of the Cosmos now!
is it a one piece reference, a genshin reference, or both
checking the red nation users talking about the boss shifts
its uncanny how the users there base their opnion on ancient scrapped stuff
the tooltip for your dev item is
much shorter than mine
what are the masses saying...
so you're fine
most users enjoy the shift
It's because Big Rip is completely disconnected from the main gameplay loop of Ark
And then I realized
wow, unheard of
if i was a dev my dev item would be a item that just turns your player sprite into yuri plush
not even like a sprite of yuri plush
just the whole ass png

but some were saying pre hm dragonfolly dont make much sense because its a dragon (its a offshoot... we have basilisks and pigrons..) and that its a failed clone of yharon (it hasnt been one for centuries)
Holy shit I know how to design weapons now???
red nation? joy? unbelievable
uncanny ....
designing weapons is honestly like, really tricky
Things must stay the way they are forever
red nation is like a view into the past
but yea most users seems to enjoy the changes
designing weapons is simple just
wait, really???
roy went from having 6 weapon archetypes for melee to only 3 becauase none of us could figure out how to make 6 archetypes work
i havent found anything about boss shift on red nation
is red nation reddit
slime god being post queen slime dont make sense 
YAYYYYYYYYY
mihawks sword π₯Ή
No it's a lightning bolt
when the user finds out that if a change is made on one side of development other sides can also change
?
where these users fabricate this info
this user when they find out that if slime god changed its place in progression the lore about queen slime would also obviously change
when the slime god is stronger than the queen slime
Dragonfolly not being post-DoG feels wrongβ¦..
old duke ...
"false dragon"
You monsterβ¦ I canβt post the funny television manβ¦
old duke and primordial wyrm getting forgotten
false dragon??? π
The literal two Offshoots stronger than it:
Byeah, my Dev weapon is a bit funny
The idea is for the weapon to actually have uh
truth duke β
false dragon: β
3 attacks (?)
thinks ts dark souls
i cannot find any posts on red nation about this triangle has special eyes
vanilin
did you touch up the doc already btw
either remove or add more info to the moves

yeah
i can help with the more info part
so users stop thinking it will literally be just moving current dragonfolly to be pre hardmode with no change
Rebecca rework Ark Big Rip and my life is yours!!!!!!
checking red nation
the users there have a really twisted view of offshoots
is offshoot lore not really well explained ingame rn?
I need Ark Big Rip in my role play fantasy gameplay loop!!!!
or is it just them not being able to read it properly
My brother in Christ I already did
Probably reading comprehension we have like, 3 entries for that shit
its my worst enemy
Which basically go over the exact same thing
the media literacy devil
I don't think so? But it probably should get some
yayyyy
Anyways back to writing
calamity community would single handedly make the media literacy devil the most powerful of them all
ninety-seven
why are we changing ark again
(there technically was one for galaxya but guh.. not really a fan of it since its just reusing assets in a weird way, i think its being removed tho)
I think you guys are blind
i did mention that it was going to be a sky boss if moved to phm, but it seemed that didnt work
I said "Big Rip should probably get some visual upgrades" and that somehow went into "Ark should get visual upgrades" and then "we're reworking Ark"
Lots of competition there idk
Like holy shit this isn't even a game of telephone
I mean, what are the views like?
media literacy devil
Anyways...
I was talking about Ark Big Rip 
that offshoots due to having dragonblood should be really strong, folly still being a clone of yharon, folly being the strongest offshoot
and some other stuff 
folly isnt even lik
an individual
its just a fucing bird

Essentially the weapon has two attack modes, being a normal melee swing which if it hits a target, it will add a mark to them
The right click would throw a lightning bolt, which will home towards a marked target like Purity Attunement in BB does
Lightning bolts can stick to enemies and/or terrain. If a lightning bolt hits another they'll explode and deal AOE damage
After you detonate enough lightning bolts, a ball of lightning would show up somewhere nearby and you would be able to hit it with a melee swing towards a target to deal immense damage. This ball would also be affected by the home-in effect of the melee hit mark
dat fuckin bird that i hate
Mothron
bird with a large family
and faint electric powers

i think this server would benefit alot from not immediately assuming what a conversation about when they join the chat
π
there is some funny ideias for folly i been talking with xyk and dia tho
like try backreading or atleast asking what the convo is about or something
ball
i'm really intrigued on folly if the move happens because
This is how I want my Dev weapon to work
surely that'd warrant a redesign right
ball lightning mentioned β β β β
i feel like current folly dosen't really feel very sky coded...
folly's overall like, vibes
It's funny because all of these powers aren't like, random bullshit I came up with on a whim
feel very tropics-coded to me
it was already planned for a resprite so its just an excuse for a larger redesign
imagine smaller folly relatives being critters on sky islands
bumblefolly....
new hive mind and perferators design/sprite π₯Ή
I had a character whose power was to create lightning bolts in an RP and everything I put on this weapon are different techniques she could use
i think a mix of the small buglike traits such as the multiple eyes and "antennae" and the yellow/red make it feel very jungle pilled to me for some reason...
follies being a swarm battle, and also sort of being dragon vultures (not literal vultures in design but in behaviour)
Didnβt that Clone idea die with the New Lore?
yes
Like 2 years ago now?
as in they steal energy from other dragon corpses and also aerialite, and this energy mutates them
It has always been baffling to me how Draedon literally didn't have a single successful project
very varied species
exo mechs
unless you count them losing to the player as a failure
he invented rubber
(arsenal stuff are also very successful for what they were built for)
its 2025
the only real failed project he has now is aureus, in a way
cal clone
maybe Draedon is washed after all
Mechs? Went rogue
Cal Clone? Fucked up and bad
Folly? Also fucked up and bad
Plaguebringer? Never hit mass production
Aureus? Also just didn't work
Yeah cause Golem was too powerful
the normal mechs
oh true i guess there's calclone
plaguebringer sorta is not a failure tho
draedon getting mauled by a grizzly bear:
plaguebringer in a way
its actually a huge sucess
was succesfull yeah
like you could argue it never hit mass production yeah but
draedon is suffering from sucess
for what its worth
it was very sucessfull
also aureus wasnt even meant to study the infection originally
unironically yeah π
it was for recovering stuff from battlefields and it probably did that job just fine
The concept of a calendar:
Anyways
It was in reply to this idk what happened
i need aureus changes seeing passive aureus in astral infection would make me give 20 a month to patron (im extortion)
exo auric plague nanomachine hive matriarch
Its been 2 years now
damn i didnt realize it was only 2023
cant wait for exo slime god
I really like the Plague and PBG in general tbh, I think they fit an extremelly interesting place in the narrative
they just exist
exo old duke
where is exo lepus
exoclops
I sorta forced them to fit in but like
exo mirage mallah
i think it has potential for cool designs and it has a cool story but unfortunatley not much is done with it in-game
tommorow
exo yharim skeletron
I really want to make the Plague as a whole feel a lot more personal to the player
junjile
add the plague minibiome and the plaguebringer goliath in a test tube and it naturally spawns and its projectiles spread plague to all the blocks you hit and make it spread and infect every enemy in the game and 
Draedon dipping bee into nanomachine soup
junjile tyrant
My ultimate goal with the Plague is for it to be something the player recognizes as THEIR problem and something THEY have to fix
king of the junjle
Plague killed our parents
that'd be a interesting direction yea
fuck i forgot the jerma bit
why does the plague even get unleashed after we kill golem
fortnite
make the plague target npcs

draedon was busy
or get unleashed at all
someone is calling you on your shellphone
draedon: you fucked up dude go fix it now
terraria: mb original gangster
Gameplay Moment (I want to give it a better method)
βBecause Plaguebringer killed my Grandma ok?!β
sonic unleashed
big ol red button that says "dont press" in jungle lab
Plague is so old (the enemies π)
@fringe quiver
is PBG a VTOL aircraft
go grandam. go
The biggest flaw Calamity has currently in its storytelling is that NOTHING feels close to the player because you just walk somewhere hit a butterfly and oops Empress of Light spawned
honestly i'd like a PBG design that feels like it's been mutilated instead of big metal bee
what did empress do to deserve this
VTOL AIRCRAFT
my dog stepped on a bee
My bee stepped on a DoG
so why does astral infection
It just does
We don't talk about Astral Infection
overworld aureus π₯Ί
And by this I mean that if I ever had to pick one major thing to delete from Calamity it'd be Infection in a heartbeat
We donβt talk about Peak in calamity-spoiler-talk π£οΈπ₯π₯
ithink infection has potential to be very visually interesting but unfortunately currently it is purple robot land
i mean if you want body horror infection the plague's right there
like its literally the fucked up magic land
its basically entirely made of chaotic mana and magic energy n shit
and at least the plague has a role in the main story
u can go wilder with its aesthethics and design than literally anywhere else except maybe the distortion
it shouldnt even be body horror imo
that's like, yeah, the plague, the evil biomes
thats smth the game already does
astral should be more mind stuff
astral infection isn't some purely biologcal mutation thing
I feel the Astral Infection and Plague overlap is weird
Infection is like 2018 distortion
The Infection has the potential to be really cool but that'd take a superb amount of effort which >>> I <<< am not willing to undertake
If the Astral Infection was weaponized by Draedon I think it would be more interesting
But also
i think astral enemies would do better if it was more clear that these arent really mutated beings they're just
Just the Plague but again
supercharged with mana
pls reb astral infection is so cool.
purple robot land
astrum deus . i love it.
if cheese was calamity cheese would make astral infection esoteric drug trip land
I feel like the Astral Infection changing biological beings into doing its bidding would be an interesting direction if connected to Draedon
thats
Sort of like an inspiration for the Plague, that he would perfect
literally just the plague
and also like
draedon has so godamn much
please god
no more
Hey I like the funky robot man ok
funny robot man has too much on this continent
there are 6 boss fights attached to him
Or maybe it's that I don't have to like it or agree with its decisions which is what it's about
that is literally not what you said
Iβm not asking the Infection to be dirrectly tied to Draedon
what you said is word for word
This honestly looks unlike nuclear terror in many ways
Just say he got inspired by what it did to his mech to make the Plague
Yeah what I imagine nuclear terror to be like, a fucked up looking insect thing
Not asking it to be a thing Draedon created
I had an idea for Infection which honestly kinda makes up for my problems with it
thats because,,, thats what its BEEN...
And it's what I perfer
as much as i like current nuclear terror its not a super great design and if its becoming the final boss of acid rain t3
I dunno what to tell you
it needs to be something more
I've always liked that unique part of the infection where it specifically affects things that aren't sapient - so robots and animals get strung together. I feel like I haven't seen that done as much before - usually fiction writers go for "all organic life gets infected" or smth
the previous nuclear terror design had its charm but it was also like Really Uninspired
Maybe I'm just used to current NT
it's just a generic bug monster yea
People should avoid using subjective opinions and preconceptions to make objective points I think
i always thought it was neat but in hindsight it is literally the textbook definition generic bug monster
i mean yeah its the only version thus far
this new one is just like
Kind of Better, to be honest
until now
i mean the astral infection sorta making everything blur the line between organic and inorganic seems more interesting than purple robot land
what was that image Tobias send here again?
i think astral infection should be rot from rain worl
do you have any idea how little that narrows this down
strange names
the 3rd one is just the fucking future predator lol
which is actually a pretty cool design...
terrestrial bat creature
with the title "concept artist who doesn't know anatomy designs a monster"
but uh yea
RJ palmer my goat
original nuclear terror will always have a place in my heart
very cool artist
literally just the fucking
so much better objectively from a design standpoint
just looked it up those are sick wtf
you know
i agree with Rebecca
id also delete the astral infecton if i could delete any major part of the game
its so nothing
its incidental to the story
we have 2 purple worm bosses that are known for consuming things
i think thats 1 more than necessary
ASTRUM DEUS IS A FUN FIGHT THOUGH 
Vanillin just keeps consuming things
looking back through chat and honestly these boss reshuffles seem so good
destroy him
+93 neutrons
story-wise it actually makes pre-hm interesting
Man working my way up the stupid long vertical stretch was funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
i could see astral infection being broken up and its current content being rethemed and spread over other pieces
π’
astral infection shouldn't be removed, it has potential but yeah currently it's not too important
though not every boss needs to link to the lore
but m,,, the vibes ,,, the music,, heavens hell-sent abomination...
Yeah itβs such a pretty biome
literally anything in calamity
i said i could see, not should
I want more of it
i like the idea that the astral infection is it's own thing as a consequence of our progress
BASILISKS??
literally the hypothetical was about which major part of calamity would you like being removed
its not a consequence of our progress though

i dont think any biome except arguably the current sunken sea is pretty right now
yes
I mean the blocks to build stuff and all that are just
Amazing
Iβm so glad they went with this look over the purple and gold one
ok maybe i was imagining it but i thought as some point there was a lore reason written for the star falling after we beat wall
it still needs improvement
especially in the limited array of colors
ah mb
in it's current state yeah i see it
Iβm not saying itβs not something that can be improved
in lore im pretty sure the astral infection already exists before the wall fight
but maybe im wrong
it exists just not on the planet
But like when would you spawn the meteor if not post-Wall
i meant on the planet

https://youtu.be/cZ4Q2WLmUII?si=FZsajtcCoki0IZOf this is like my favorite biome track in calamity
Alot of weapons do not miss their potential
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5brLl2R_mZI and this is mine.
thats even sillier
it exists and draedon is aware of it iirc but the meteor doesnt hit terraria until after wof
Me when I open youtube and get A Legend's Strife at the top of the home page
it's a space plague, it only reaches us once wall dies
yeah it makes aureus immediately being infected kinda silly
okay but to be fair, aureus was due to circumstances (kinda) outside of his control
well its in space
via the meteor
thats why he knows
aureus is just a bit goofy tbh
dont forget that old lore exos were incomplete
which is why seeing aureus get infected after being passive in the biome will be peak if it happens
that would genuinely be kinda cool
Also wouldnt it be cool if astral infection moreso affected the planetoids instead of the surface?
Old lore when it has to limit the powerscaling:
its not confirmed but its an idea floating around apparently
or maybe like a cage or structure to contain it, that the infection then lands near
I'm gonna use the power of Community
aureus roaming around on its own would be weird unless it was quite a bit smaller
the aquatic scourge in question:
but i like the idea of it a lot though
Can't wait for me saying "If I could" to evolve into "Holy shit the Devs are removing the Astral Infection!!"
π
c'mon, try to stop me
aureus was a repurposed war machine used as a rover to monitor the astral
keep in mind aureus would have ik so it would walk on terrain way more seemlessly
there's a lot more space for scourge to be though, idk i feel like it would fit
Seeing astrum aureus in the background would be cool
It's not happening lmao
it in the background would work
again not confirmed at all but it would be passive as in it probably wouldnt be able to harm you
I'm gonna use it!
I feel like the background is underused in mods so this could be a cool use

Dw Deus will be in the background in the future
current aureus moving around the uneven terrain in the infection would look weird
what if i killed you instead
but either in the background, or with a new walking animation, it would work really well
its getting redesigned
i really like the idea
I never said I would kill you

I'm using power of Community and nobody can stop me!
I keep thinking fucking passive Aureus gonna be in SSO but then I remembered it was in Ozz's correction and not changelogs
oh i just noticed 

sso is already big enough we dont need more!!!
Yharim in SSO
biggest update in history and its just the first part, thats not even done yet
This is so Ozzatrous
Deus
I'm replacing the first N in your nickname with Z
red nation moment
strange activity
ok i think its enough

VaZillin
there is no capital N in the first place
not even a bad name but a weird thing to do
im confused
put this in the Russian translator
will sso make shpc left click a NOT-dust-weapon
yes
no offense to anyone but this dust looks ugly af
the color gamma is just not good
the amount of dust is bad
Dust weapon is a term?
the sand spelltomes
I never thought of a term of it but it makes sense, they bother me
terraria dust
ILOVE PLAYING TELEPHONE!!!!!!!!
will sso have deltarune reference
Do old calamity flamethrowers count as dust
its a pile of yharim's dust.
piles of yharim's coke
in a form of ||black shard|| perhaps
Nvm just looked it up it seems they've all been changed
Ghaster in Calamity when?
not necessarily it's just weird thaqt deltarune has none
Ghaster

GASTER CAN GO FUCKING KI-
G Haster
Calamity reference items will outnumber original items at this point
Me patiently waiting for Egg Man to show his face in Deltarune
i mean that there aren't any deltarune references
dark master isn't one afaik
im wing ding the royal scientist
we should like nuke all bad donor items and then undedicate all good ones
Its a Zelda reference
gaster gaster pipidastre

OH MY GOD

Gasterβs taken a liking to Terraria while he researches stuff
I'm honestly suprised a patreon donor didn't make a [BIG SHOT] weapon
