#

My favorite thing, for at least rev queen bee

#

It was so broken

surreal glacier
#

Significantly less so now

fathom girder
#

and I just m1 up

#

and queen bee falls over and dies

proud plover
#

Aw, sad to hear

obtuse hawk
#

isn't the perforators the remains of the god of greed or something

#

or was it multiple gods

fathom girder
#

it's the remains of a god for sure

#

I don't think we know which one?

#

that's a lore discussion question I think

obtuse hawk
#

yea i just wanted to like incorporate greed-like elements into this design

#

like gold and stuff

fathom girder
#

makes sense

steel pike
#

the gleeks ah

fathom girder
#

def ask the lore buffs first I think

deft lily
#

i should join cal dev and the first and only act i do is post fovenator in a random news letter

fathom girder
#

why not antenizer

deft lily
#

cuz idk what that is

fathom girder
#

oh my GOD ok ok

#

I think it's in the content doc still

#

look up what antenizer is there

obtuse hawk
#

any greed-like mention of it is in the bestiary entry

#

o well

fathom girder
#

I seeeeeee

obtuse hawk
#

it's kind of like a mix of greed and gluttony from what i can gather

#

I'll do my best to take note of those

deft lily
#

i dont see it

barren nacelle
#

I made a perf redesign a while ago that I’d love to redo

#

Before I knew the lore

obtuse hawk
#

i'd love to see it

barren nacelle
fathom girder
#

doesn't evoke enough "I'd fight this post ml" tbh

barren nacelle
#

Yeah like I said I drew this a LONG time ago

#

This was in high school

fathom girder
#

oh

#

oh my

dusk bronze
vivid hemlock
obtuse hawk
#

hm

dusk bronze
#

and if there was a domain of greed, it would probably be a dragon
bc gluttony

obtuse hawk
#

even if there isn't a specific deity tied to the perforators I think I'd still want to make my design unique

dusk bronze
#

god of war is the main one

fathom girder
#

Big ol flesh monster

obtuse hawk
#

yea

#

Hive Mind is Dogma.

final pine
#

make just a giant fleshy kratos face

#

Wrong God of War.

fathom girder
#

that would tear out pieces of itself to throw at you

#

and then whip itself at you

#

like PURE monster

barren nacelle
#

Yeah it’s giving like early to mid hardmode

fathom girder
#

is what I think when I think post ml perfs

obtuse hawk
#

I'm actually making its "face" a large dark monolith thing

#

with glowing red parts

barren nacelle
fathom girder
#

I'm curious as to what you think perfs could be

deft lily
#

ok idk where the fuck this antenizer being is

obtuse hawk
#

kind of like a sigil perforator thing

deft lily
#

in the future content doc

fathom girder
#

bruh

vivid hemlock
#

antenizer is in the future doc??

#

wtf

fathom girder
#

I don't remember which doc it's in

vivid hemlock
#

i need to censor this immediately

final pine
#

it's in the scrapped doc

vivid hemlock
#

fathom girder
#

THAT'S the one

#

sorry umbara lmao

final pine
#

there is a lot more funny stuff in there as well

fathom girder
#

think I led you down the wrong path

final pine
#

however if someone added it to the future doc it would be very funny

deft lily
fathom girder
#

I know what I'm doing tomorrow

steel pike
obtuse hawk
#

is there an official design for calamity's war god

barren nacelle
#

I also did Polterghast around the same time I drew that

steel pike
deft lily
#

okay fuck no

barren nacelle
#

Still kinda happy with it but not as a Polterghast design since I know the lore now

deft lily
#

that shit deserves to burn

#

LMAO the eyes

fathom girder
#

I think incredibly pissed off EXTREMELY LARGE mound of flesh that will do anything in its power to destroy you utterly

#

like that is perfs to me

#

with its little worms constantly spewing out

#

just utterly disgusting and angry and hornet

vivid hemlock
barren nacelle
#

My vague idea is gonna be kinda dragon like for lore reasons

deft lily
#

it'd be kinda funny if it was shoved into a random newsletter though clueless

#

like completely hidden

#

or, almost rather

fathom girder
#

The newsletter is formatted to look like antenizer

obtuse hawk

invisible link that when clicked links to a png of antenizer

It may have been a precursor to foveanator

but all we know is that it had a sprite

Ohh

While on aegis it doesn't

lapis oak
dull heart
#

oh

#

okay well it's because aegis is quirky

fathom girder
#

aegis is cool

#

briny baron isn't

dull heart
#

^

lapis oak
#

😭 don't tell me it's because Briny Baron right click doesn't swing like a fucking usestyle 1 but a throwing animation

dull heart
#

nah

lapis oak
#

good I was about to crash out twice if that's the case

dull heart
#

oh then yes that's the reason

lapis oak
#

but damn Briny Baron is like so small now last time I used it it took like half the screen

#

FUCK YOU

arctic cliff
#

please make aegis blade an upgrade to brand of the inferno

dull heart
#

boi is so funny

arctic cliff
#

i mean, i dunno about you but its called aegis blade, and theres a shield line called aegis

fathom girder
#

Brand of the inferno makes me sad

arctic cliff
#

so maybe it should have a similar thing if ya ask me

dull heart
fathom girder
#

because it reminds me of my old suggestion

dull heart
#

boi is so peak

fathom girder
#

where I wanted all tmelee weapons to do what boi does

#

aka have a parry

arctic cliff
#

wait

#

are you the guy who asked for more parries

fathom girder
#

I am

#

yeah

#

that's me

arctic cliff
#

ah

dull heart
#

okay your more parries are here

fathom girder
#

SAFE TO SAY I learned from that but it still makes me sad

SUS

fathom girder
#

okay sus is sus

arctic cliff
#

i like the idea of an alternative "parry to boost weapon" sword that has a singular buffed swing instead of a few

fathom girder
#

I don't like sus

dull heart
#

sus is like better boi for a lot of things

arctic cliff
#

i mean

#

its a boomerang.

dull heart
#

Bc it works even without a shield equipped

arctic cliff
#

a really fucking good boomerang

fathom girder
#

true

#

it's a nice thing to just have

dull heart
#

last I checked it was a very bad boomerang

fathom girder
#

actually... hold on I forget if the parry buff transfers

dull heart
#

it does

fathom girder
#

can I use SuS to-

#

oh no

arctic cliff
#

i mean that in how you use it compared to other boomerangs

#

it straight up ohmes

fathom girder
#

grand dad oneshot tech

dull heart
#

SUS can buff gilded proboscis left clic

fathom girder
#

I parry with sus

#

pull out grand dad

#

launch a slime and do 4m damage

#

SUS also makes dog portal dashes a joke

nah

#

actually

#

i want to nuke the world a lil bit

rare tinsel
#

Quality of Terraria does indeeed disable biome spread

#

it does everything

#

it's so good

#

anyways use this as a moment to wean yourself off of QoL because biome spread is not rocket science to deal with

lapis oak
#

does it cook for me

rare tinsel
#

in pre-hardmode, evil biomes can only spread via grass and foliage so just break the grass or use purification powder

#

Then dig tunnels down as deep as you want, preferably with scarab bombs

calm ingot
#

It’s time I could spend doing something enjoyable instead of digging a hole

wary crest
#

I just make a box around my base and then pretend the rest of the world isn’t real

rare tinsel
wary crest
#

Sure half my world is corruption now but my base isn’t

rare tinsel
#

you just need to get it down a decent bit into the Underground layer because evil biomes spread six times slower down there

wary crest

#

in my vanilla worlds i always just contained them entirely

from the sides made tunnels with bombs

and from below i just used the mole cart

#

gelpick i think got buffed this update

calm ingot
#

It got nerfed

twin mural
#

gelpick is faster than skyfringe?

or maybe it was a nerf? idk i just know that one of the numbers is 9 and the other is 5

#

aww lame

calm ingot
#

Can’t mine cobalt now for some reason lol

tropic jolt
#

but yeah biome spread kinda sucks

distant raft
#

gelpick is faster than bone?

rancid pagoda
calm ingot
#

Oh I forgot about bone maybe not

distant raft
#

bone is 6 tool speed

#

what the fuck why did they make gelpick do that

fierce hearth
#

Mitigating evil spread is a lot easier if you know problem locations as well. #1 priority for controlling evil biomes should be preparing to cleanse your desert or ocean in advance

calm ingot
#

Number one priority for evil spread should be installing begone evil or if you’re playing vanilla turning on journey mode

#

Fuck that

distant raft
#

ah

#

nvmthen

#

reverted the 2.1 changes

#

why did they do that

tropic jolt
#

idk

fierce hearth
#

Sand blocks are notoriously bad for biome spread on the surface, and neglecting them can lead to damage that's exceptionally difficult to fully resolve without a stockpile of biome sight pots and the clentaminator

#

(if your ocean fully corrupts it can be difficult to clean the part offscreen period, without the terraformer's much larger spread making missing a block less common)

tropic jolt
#

the solution is to nuke the entire world

calm ingot
#

What if I don’t want a bunch of giant holes going through my world and I don’t want to spend time digging them

Then use mods I guess XD

strange cargo
boreal pewter
# distant raft what the fuck why did they make gelpick do that

Basically in dev version there was a pickaxe made from monolith called the monolith pickaxe, and it’s gimmick was being ultra fast but not strong enough to mine cobalt. This was an enjoyable pickaxe but it was removed before release because none of the other wood sets have a pickaxe. A similar function ended up being ported over to gelpick in the end…
I think it was much better suited for a side-grade pickaxe rather than gelpick, which a lot of people craft

orchid finch
#

Fast pickaxe fans rejoice

arctic cliff
#

OH

#

thats why gelpick lost its power

#

i was super fucking confused by that

summer shore
arctic cliff
#

hmm

orchid finch
rare tinsel
#

marnite peakbliterator

orchid finch
#

And it isn't supposed to be this big OP drill that you can get early pre-Hardmode and mine hardmode ores

lapis oak
#

The pickaxe almost no one craft

arctic cliff
#

whilst beastial pickaxe will probably bite the dust like the majority of perennial stuff, i think it'd be a good candidate for an ultra-fast pickaxe for that general tier

summer shore
#

well that's the point

#

to both

arctic cliff
#

i dunno why but it feels like that sorta thing

rare tinsel
#

marnite obliterator seems to just be a more convenient pickaxe for building

#

it’s a preboss pickaxe with stupid high range and that’s all it needs

summer shore
#

marnite is obscure and it's pre hardmode so giving it insano pick speed but lower pickpower means you get to have fun with it

orchid finch
#

Yeah true

cobalt wharf

#

Its just trash bro, it’s got weaker pickaxe power than the luminite ones, which unless I’m mistaken means it can’t even mine the exodium around the luminite asteroids

steel pike
#

They were always so fucking creepy and tall

grave geyser
# fathom girder throws bullshit at you until you win

I mean we could say that about msot bosses

what I mean is
hive mind has actual attacks, ~3-4 depending on your definition, desert scourge has 0.5, crab has 2 and one of them just "jumps at 4 varying heights"

he has more going on than just about every other prehm cal boss baring brain ofc

fathom girder
#

but he dies preboss

grave geyser
#

everything dies preboss

tropic jolt
fathom girder
#

you dies preboss

grave geyser
#

because this game is fucking easy

tropic jolt
#

I have won

still cobalt
#

I will admit that base cal early game is genuinely filled with “this boss does nothing and dies”

steel pike
#

Eater of souls dies quick as fuck and relies on swarms to just be a nuisance

tropic jolt
steel pike
#

Face monster on the other hand

#

Is intimidating tall and tanky

#

And lowkey nonchalant

#

Just says “hi” and attacks

steel pike
tropic jolt
#

corruption better idc

#

wormstorm will come!

steel pike
#

Corruption more classic but crimson better overall

#

Also just cuz i like the color red

grave geyser
# fathom girder you dies preboss

anyway "he's easy tho" is such a non argument when
A: theres like 2 "hard" phm bosses
and B: its a very fixable problem just by tweaking numbers, its not "this boss is fundementally awful and there is no solution other than to rip it out by the roots and start from scratch" like it is with, most of cals roster

fathom girder
#

They're gonna HAVE to rip him up by the roots for the eventual post ML rework but

#

BUT

#

I see

tropic jolt
#

have these bosses tried throwing large rocks at the player

grave geyser
#

wait true?

tropic jolt
#

I dont think the player can dodge large rocks

grave geyser
#

I mean rav has clearly

misty wren
#

in current yeah hive mind has a good base its just been butchered by fabsol

misty wren

#

Sandgun not good enough!

grave geyser
dull heart
#

for how annoying sandgun is to use it was not as strong as it should have been

grave geyser
#

ok

dull heart
#

i buffed fuel cell bundle hive pack

#

(but nerfed it's base dmg)

grave geyser
#

valid given it was uhh

#

stupid

#

(watch this means it's going to be even more of an ap bot)

dull heart
#

it isn't a huge nerf tbh

#

true

#

it's 25 -> 22 dmg so like

#

-12% dps

#

or something

grave geyser
#

12% yeah

#

that does matter a lot tbf

dull heart
#

plaguebringer armor also getting buffed

#

no longer forced to run an extra papyrus scarab to compete with spooky horray

grave geyser
#

aka
"more of an ap bot"

dull heart
#

true

#

plaguebringer armor has been so sad ever since 10-20 flat dmg died

#

should bring that back tbh

grave geyser
#

make it a whip tag that the ram inflicts

dull heart
#

wait cook

grave geyser
still cobalt
#

Bith the plague armors are some of my favorites tbh

grave geyser

grave geyser

#

Me personally im just a super awesome guy that does not armor mix often

#

I armor mix at the start of hardmode usually

wary igloo
#

i never armor mix simply because i find it ugly

tribal isle
#

I never armor mix cuz that’s how god intended

fathom girder
#

I don't armor mix because I want the +80 mana set bonus please thank you

still cobalt
#

I only do it so i can use molusk shell without the downsides

grave geyser
#

(you get the downsides now)

#

(also mollusk is completely gutted)

still cobalt
#

Holy mid bro

grave geyser
#

so like
pretty solid

fathom girder
#

oh my

#

but at the cost of not having a fun set bonus

grave geyser
#

oh no I can no longer fire random shitass projectile that gets like 3% contrib

fathom girder

YEAH

#

THAT MATTERS

fathom girder

I MEANT TO

ugh nvm

still cobalt
#

Oh so it technically minmaxes crit and damage but prob gets less damage in

obtuse hawk
#

im going to use igneous exaltation next, did brainstorm make it so the blades don't despawn when the ability is used or do they still despawn after an amount of time

grave geyser
#

theres also this which is a little less widely applicable but also has some funny numbers to it

#

or well

#

its very generalist

grave geyser
fathom girder
#

which uh

#

good luck

fathom girder
#

good advice

polar tide
dull heart
#

igneous was reworked

obtuse hawk
#

yea

dull heart

it's a similar concept but done better

#

i just remembed

Vodka chaos stone is

Grape Beer says it works on darts, rockets, bullets, and arrows

Oh and my headphones with them

Buzzkill is not a dart, rocket, bullet, or arrow

volcano fact: The Volcano is a pre-Hardmode broadsword. When swung, it creates an explosion upon enemy hits, dealing 75% of the weapon's damage (30 base damage) to the enemy and 2 other targets in an area around the enemy. The Volcano has a 1/2 (50%) chance to inflict the On Fire! debuff for 3 seconds, while its explosion is guaranteed to inflict it for the same duration.

arctic cliff
#

thats a good volcano fact amen

#

anyhow here's mine

#

The Reykjanes peninsula of Iceland contains 6 fissure volcanoes in extremely close proximity. This is because the region is essentially a subaerial (above water) mid-ocean ridge. One of these, Svartsengi (2 as marked on the image shown), nearly threatened to obliterate the Blue Lagoon in its 2023-2025 series of eruptions.

arctic cliff
#

All of this is to say, Svartsengi has been aching to act as proxy vengeance upon the Blue Lagoon in vatikan's stead.

barren nacelle
#

Oh overdone is doing volcanos again

dull heart
#

It's so weird how much I have to

#

The tooltip literally says

barren nacelle
#

Clarifies Darts, Rockets, Bullets, and Arrows
“Does this home?”
Look inside
Not a Dart, Rocket, Bullet, or Arrow

#

I oughta make a list of projectiles it doesn’t effect

#

So people like actually realise

#

I should ask it does not effect secondary projectiles produced by weapons that fire said projectiles

#

Or like transmuted projectiles

#

Like brimstone fury bolts are those considered arrows

#

Okay so it’s just weapons that do not fire darts arrows bullets or rockets

#

It’s just the fuckass other category

#

I do wish wulfrum blunderbuss worked with it but alas that’s a weird ammo and would require extending it to coin gun and then the sevens striker and it would be a whole thing

placid ocean

i consider it better than roxcalibur

The thing that sucks right now to me is that the really slapdash way to give Calclone a more distinct aesthetic made her fight more visually interesting to me than SCal

the grape-like appearance of staphylococcus aureus is in fact big enough that their genus name references that

is wulfrum droid and rover drive

together

are potentially top 1

Barriers apparently entirely block defense damage if they're up at all

barren nacelle

top 1 wulfrum rover droid combos

of all time

and rover drive gets refilled by wulfrum droid 1 dmg at a time

barren nacelle

oh that's fucked

dull heart
#

meainign together? defense dmg is fake

rare tinsel
#

does it also block knockback

dull heart
#

no

#

it shouldn't

#

Stratus Sphere also is insanae with this and sirius or crescent moon

barren nacelle
#

Does the wulfrum drone regen also apply to the sponge?

dull heart
#

even 1 starburst is enough to negate all defense dmg

#

no

barren nacelle

smh buff the sponge it needs it
