no mine wouldn't target the enemy when it fired it would just fire in whatever direction it was already facing
Wasn't that just changed or am I trippin
no
now can be charged to shoot various kinds of angry birds
gilded proboscis was
with friendly fire 
Oh wait it was taken out of Antimateriel is what happened
wait make it shoot mini draconic swarmers
angry birds is funnier
turn it into the draconic swarmer
Make it look like an actual golden eagle
that one minigun
like imagine a 5 use speed mini gun that just spews all kinds of angry birds with their iconic "ow", "ouch" on colliding with blocks
maybe even break them
someone should make this as donatorslop for some mod (because there will no more donator items in cal)
why wouldn't that be a slingshot though
angry birds weapon thta drops from the horrible hog
like cmon
automatic slingshot
mighty eagle ..
TRUE
It needs this sound
how good dragonfolly would be as angry bird?
On par with the eagle for sure
oh, I just remembered
It's crazy how hard mobile games fell off
Like why is jetpack joyride still one of the best mobile games ever made
Truth nuke
we need to kill swordsplosion
Fuck no
no
instead of swords, it just summons angry birds from sky
Ty for the new block sheet
mobile game devs stopped caring after 2016
i will not tolerate swordsplosion glaze in the same house as burning sky slander
Some of y'all just hate silly istg
I had a swordsplosion rework idea
they're the same weapon
no they're not
One of them is cool and the other is cooler
Burning Sky should be slandered but it's still cool
burning sky is so peak
Vegeta...
Like, the whole idea is a joke and it's kinda funny so I fw it
that is NOT vegeta
Then who could it possibly be? Aquaman?
Uhhh close enough
let me guess: it would act like dragonfolly's feathers attack
Idk what folly feathers attack even does
Also I'm pretty sure the mire block is meant to be somewhere in-between desert and shores bc code had merges for all the vanilla sands
folly surrounds you with feathers
they float in place for a bit then home onto you
i should do a musket/sniper only run of cal ngl
thank you
no
That wasn't it
what else fits the sword swarm and dragonfolly, though?
Which is kind of weird tbf
But it's not like Aegis Blade is very golem themed either
None of the legendaries specifically match theming of their boss
Wait I'm mixing up rare drop variants and legendaries
oh
it isn't anymore
right
Most of golem drops don't make sense anyway like why does he drop beetle shell
swordsplosion but it's Bomb Blitz from btd6
👀
Ehhh I would sooner make that a rework of Red Sun
I feel like atp it would just be a cooler looking red sun
lmfao fair
Why lmao
silly shadowspec weapon
Is this yet another case of modern devs being referencephobic
no I have no reason at all
also it wouldnt still rain stuff from the sky if this case
I see
I'd think more like you throw the sword and it explodes into rainbow swords that explode into more rainbow swords
Y'know
Swordsplosion but if used it blows up your gpu
Rubico Prime and the Garand are really similar
briny baron...
Sorry why is Vesuvius still dropped by ravager
Why did y'all not change it back to Betsy
because betsy fucking sucks
And Ravager doesn't???
I forgot who Betsy even was
Betsy is at least not an annoying piece of shit
I don't have to spend 15 minutes doing something else to even get a chance at ravager
At least I don't have to fight ravager to fight Betsy
Kill betsy
I mean it feels like a waste of effort locking a weapon behind a boss most won't even fight
Do you like Golem more than Duke???
Why does Vesuvius still exist
Wow that's fucked up I hope you recover
❌ 🥀 💀
I'M SORRY I PREFER TO FARM THE EASY BOSSES
It’s over for you
I'm not spending HOURS UPON HOURS going for a vesuvius
fucken hate going for betsy
"I HATE well designed bosses let me fight more SLOP"
I say this in reference to duke not betsy
Golemslop
if ravager was a REAL FIGHT I'd still farm him more because I just hate betsy
I HATE BETSY
IS THAT SO WRONG
I HATE YOU
betsy is the goat
✅ 🎉 👍
meteor staff but u also get the option to use it like a normal weapon
Betsy is still better than the worst modded boss ever tho is the thing
Your goat is washed buddy
my goat practices good hygiene???
I hope you did your research
Oh yeah I forgot about that
Yeah that’s a bad thing
The worst boss in a good mod
You should be playing trove more
The old crossover content in terraria is so mid ngl
❌🥀 💀
At least the new stuff like dead cells and maybe dst crossover is good
Like, sdmg? Pixel Piracy?
Dungeon defenders was and still is the best crossover
That's the only old crossover stuff I can think of
True... tho dst was cool too
Old ones army is so boring and tedious
Kill betsy
You only have to do the event once if you have fargo mutant on
I don't like having bad mods installed sorry
I don't like having bad mods installed sorry
Bro you're in a cal server
You're already way past that

me when I lie
me when I 
Me when you lie
What vanilla events are even enjoyable
all of em except for pillars and OOA
goblins
tbh
Pumpkin moon
Frost legion as well??
Inverse this and this is true
Help!
exactly none
💀
Considering pillars and ooa are the only actively unique ones lol
Doesn’t make them good
theyre uniquely boring
The only one I slightly enjoy is pumpkin moon
pillars are uniquely shit
terraria events in general kinda suck i wont lie
Moons are worse
True!
Worst is martians tho
yes moons are turbo shit
By like, a lot
Moons are the only good events buddy
i like pumpkin and frost moon for like 3 minuted
martians are so ass
Imo goblins are like kinda well designed
Because they’re really fubny
Exactly
That’s the best part!
That's not an event anymore atp
Pumpkin moon is like something I do once for a weapon mildly enjoy and never touch again
It's just slop lmfao
Good
i dont interact with any other enemy when pumpkings and ice queens start spawning
you thought fighting 1 providence was fun? how about 10 at once!
the problem is that regular terraria enemies aren't interesting
at all
like you're not even supposed to think about them, they're all just fodder
which sucks
Where you have to focus on the archers doing the most damage and the warriors pummeling through but the peons would break down your doors and sorcerers would attack through walls so it's a nice good amount of variety
Martian Madness is so mid aside from saucer tbh
Saucer is great but the enemies are AWFUL
The only problem is ninjas serve like no purpose
Uruurjffhggh
Events only rlly work in like pre-hardmode
honestly dutchman is the best event miniboss because it doesnt completely take your attention away from the enemies
I'd say Saucer is fantastic too
Saucer is great outside of all of the fucking enemies in the event
it just takes away from the event itself
You could place it in a fun event and it's peak
Saucer should have just been a sly boss spawned by the probe
True
warlock is pretty decent too
Saucer is more of a thing where it's there every once in a while, but isn't spammed like moon mini bosses are
It doesn't rlly help that events are placed pretty awkwardly in progression as well
although goblins are pushovers at that point without it
Like the pumpkin / frost moons
so its just warlocks with occasional fighter AI enemies
Fargo Souls 2.0 Goblin Army is fucking fantastic btw
Like I can't say much but holy shit
At least modded events can be better
You honestly should
shoutouts to pestilence from polarities
It's gonna be probably the largest and most monumental tmod update ever?
[*]
holy shit bro i have everything on the lowest setting to reduce lag and i still get 10 fps on thanatos
nice potato
thanks ❤️
Cal is def lagslop
bro has a dust bunny for a processor

pain
bro who even thought of berserk phase thanatos

Why Dazzling Stabber is SOOO LOUD
🐛 ed
re logic should have known this would happen when they made the mechs
is this how playing this game non-stop for last decade feels like?
how could they not foresee it
bugged, recommend using Virid Vanguard instead until it's fixed

nope

Boii we all playing calamity mod in our self made calamity mod playlist on loop boii 😭 👋 🫲
alright thats enough nuke the whole server
Update this spring I hope
I would prefer to have an update with 3 changes then no update at all
Fat
:(
blizzard tomorrow
sso in one month?
blizzard not tomorrow cuz its becoming spring
fi funky kong
@dull heart i've heard quite a few people complain that reaper sharks are too hard to see with the new abyss lighting, perhaps you could increase the intensity of their glowmask or something
I can't embed nor do I have a good way to screen record to post this myself so just trust me this link isn't sus
obs studio is free

Auric Slammer as I envisioned it
Just upload it to yt as an unlisted video
true
true
I'm also on mobile I probably should have lead with that
But yeah that's what I kept picturing in my head
btw for auric slammer to work in the lore, it would need to be crafted from raw auric ore
because adding the yharon soul fragments disables auric rejection
That's really funny I love that
It really sells it as a club
Fuck it, don't refine the materials, just a lump of god steel
Brain fight is really cool now
Fabsol watching the calamity bosses slowly not be dogshit one by one
And the lore
“What do you mean Yharim isn’t gonna come flying in riding DoG and beat Providence to death?!!!!”
One day we’ll have a good exo fight 😔
It’s called Infernum
In the meantime wrath of the machines exists
Only thing I don’t really care for in rev exos is that Thanatos is just kinda… there
I haven’t fought vanilla exos in a good minute
True melee hunters is an experience
That’s why Infernum is more fun lol
All I remember is that flying and falling diagonally got me stupidly far
True melee can actually do something
Yeah that’s literally the method for normal exos is just travel diagonally
That’s what I’ve been doing for ares and Thanatos
Hunters it’s basically just sit there for 10 minutes straight waiting on them to charge you
Haven’t used infernum in a while either
Infernum is like all I play lol
I’ve moved to using the standalone eternity fight mod
I had fun with it up until prov
I’ve thought about using that bc it looks cool but at the same time it’s like 90% particle effects
I gave up on 2 different Infernum runs, then went to death and finally got to exos on a playthrough
Then it just got too bullet hellish
Prov is like the best Infernum boss
It became way too difficult to keep track of everything
Because there’s just so much getting thrown at you
That’s the best part though, you don’t have to keep track of everything
Infernum bosses typically have gaps so that several attacks can be dodged at once
If that makes sense
Like with exos, if you’re fighting ares and hunters, you dodge all of their attacks at once with just one motion
I never studied that far into the patterns
However I did find the crystal phase where she sheds the shell a really cool idea
Me against base Cal Exos when I move Thanatos slightly wrong so 10 trillion little laser poots block my path to avoid every single one of Ares' projectiles at once
If you ever get back into it, my best advice is to like chill out during bosses and try to focus on only what’s near your character
You’ll find that a lot of projectiles will weave their way around you if you do that
You noticed how the fight was also synchronized to the music?
It’s a different playstyle than how I usually go about it but I may try again in the future
I’d say try to beat it at least once
So I’ve heard, I was too busy dying to notice
The bosses feel less random I guess
They feel more like souls bosses in the sense that you learn to recognize certain things happening
Polter was really fun
Like the Provi attack where she sends out a million crosses?
Asgore attack at the end was neat too
Oh I despise Infernum polter lol
He skill checks me every time
Polter works for me because my playstyle is to never stop moving
Hell I use moab for the majority of my playthroughs
Maybe that’s why provi was a bit of an issue then?
Absolutely
Infernum, especially later bosses, you wanna be slow and precise with your movement
Took me a while to learn that lol
Only slightly related but I’m not a huge fan of the infernum music pack
Oh they made it so you can toggle certain boss themes in the Infernum config
I like most of the Infernum themes but there are a couple that don’t really do it for me
Infernum Scal theme mainly
This is not the channel for discussions about Infernum, move to #calamity-addon-talk for such.
I was so sad when I found out I can't change my nickname here I wanted to rename myself to something "clupdate" related because I basically squat in this channel
"I will have my revenge" was his status the other day 🥀
-# 😨
wellll.... about that
we've already discussed this, but i'll let anyone out of the loop just take a gander at this image to see what's... wrong...
Im so fuckinfg scared................ 😨
all im gonna say is that brainstorm already did what he was trying solve, far better than his """solution""" that is shown in the image
“Yeah, they’re gonna be scared of me! I’m making a new mod! Surely people don’t know that I was the problem!”
something that doesnt deal with the mana bar
what
yeah hes really pathetic
“I’m gonna solve this class by erasing the class identity! Muahahahahaaaaa!!!”
nothing new tho
ngl i feel like all that's gonna happen is that he's going to become food for youtubers to make videos shitting all over his mod
The 10 different booster types in question:
oh
which are distinctly also pre-moon lord btw
from what i have heard he wants to do that but for the whole of the game for mage
which is completely absurd because like
bard
Generally your character isn't an entire galaxy of stars
bard in the corner
Rainbow buff bar? Good to know that Fabsol is becoming inclusive! <3
I mean, with nebula armor u basically are which is why it wasnt obvious to me lul
but yeah I see what u mean now
fab ain't going to do shit
there’s also the arena, which apparently is a naturally generated structure
all this will amount to is to enable people to continue to kick him while hes down
even more so then now
Fabsol arena out here lookin like
True...
i hope it keeps fabsol awake every single night thinking about how the average trans cal developer has more talent in one of their eyelashes than fabsol does in his entire body
🔥 ✍️
Reintroduce drunk princess but make her ftm
Amidias the Sea Queen
Providence the Profanded God
this is his drag persona
Pretty sure this used to be a thing so provi is already trans
Devourer of Godesses?
that just makes him a misogynist
yeah
Scal summons his sisters
beuatiful
should i even bother using mossy stone in SSO build?
actually nvm jungle happens to be right next to SSO so ill use it there
im improvising
we released sso like 5 yrs ago keep up
Yeah we’re on bee update
Time flies

idk what to do rn tbh for timeless shores area so ima just do the lower sect of basalt gully
SSO are the friends we made along the way
theres like no content for the scourge nest area above so ive just got in big red letters on map SCOURGE NEST HERE
just pretending it exists
only block thats relevant to that zone is mire and i dont like it
le awesome spongebob reference
when i first saw the mire block i thought it was some sunken sea block infected by the crimson
hi
alex (killsyou
why does mossy stone exist? it doesnt fit into any of the biomes i thought it was gonna be like stohne for surface or something
ye i mix it in with reg stone bc vanilla stone looks ugly
i might blow up timeless shores
sso canceled mb
gotta hand create the sunken sea for each individual player
Tragic
chat is infernum worth using after the recent calam upd or does it conflict with any of the new stuff
Doesn’t conflict, but if you wanna run the brainstorm bosses youd need to switch to revengeance or something instead of Infernum difficulty
^
Yeah no if they’re not gonna bother updating for those bosses & future boss overhauls I’m probably just gonna drop infernum
infernum hasnt been updated in years
i haven’t played modded in years either
and most of the devs have moved on to other projects or moved on from terraria as a whole
those who know
it will probably be phased out entirely later this year and confined to a legacy version of calamity
crows who mow
best case scenario it will cause less ppl to play it and play base cal instead
as long as basecal continues updating their bosses to be actually good im sure thats what will happen
well with the horse gone I dont see why that wouldnt happen lul
why does polyp forest keep switching layers
exo mechs rework AI is too complex and draedon gains sentience before destroying calamity
last time i saw it was below reefs now its below burrows
infernum players threatening to quit calamity because they are forced to play base cal instead of infernum but then proceed to boot up cal the very next day
polyp forest is where polyp forest is
wasnt it somewhere
feels like makes sense that u would have to go thru all the pre-hardmode layers to get to king clam
somewhere yes
with basalt at the bottom bc its hardmode mostly
duh
some sort of... now stop asking where ‼️
the theme of all time
🫧
sunken jungle..
for some reason the big hive decided to generate under sunken sea so its gotta go
do you guys think infernum is bad?
rip big beehive
i haven't talked about it with anyone, i thought it was liked overall
every calamity update makes me wanna use it slightly less
I do. Although my opinion is not universally the same amongst everyone
started my first non infernum playthrough in like a year last week i think
I think its bad for a lot of reasons, some of which im not getting into
Infernum is cool but it has entirely different vibes to calamity
only reason i rlly use it anymore is for the abyss generation
yeah me too, I'm playing the update RN without infernum and to be fair it's really different and easier than I'm used to.. but it's still fun
but the main thing for me is that its unbalanced as hell
not that I think that base cal is balanced well, in fact I think infernum makes it worse
i like men
based
unbalanced in what way?
queen bee is not very happy with me
Most of everything just does WAY to much damage
and also DoG
oh yeah that is true
ramslop
Including the sprite since im pretty sure that was a scrapped dog sprite made by none other then bird
those who know
i was thinking about playing infernum again after years after this playtrough with the new update but idk now tbh
the word slop has ruined gaming forever
summoner infernum sounds kinda miserable
💔
wordslop
slopslop 
There's another huge reason I dont like infernum but im not getting into it here
my game crashed
why not? the server is for discussing
the turrets destroyed my game
I think the goal of it is to encourage actually learning the fights cuz idk about u but at this point with at level gear you can kinda just force your way through revengence bosses
my game crashed 2 times already in my playtrough lol
idk why but i noticed it's having a lot of lag spikes
Old duke…
mech destroyer was unplayable
i tried replacing the turret with scarlet polyp sand stuff and it didnt like it
kid named DoG:
There is literally no easy way to learn that fight
To be fair the only part of DoG that hits like a truck is his face hitbox the rest is just bullethell that does about on par damage for that part of the game
But yeah it’s one of those things where balance will always be hard
Like at least death mode dog is hard and fucking beatable in a reasonable amount of attempts
that's true and is a big issue i have with calamity (without infernum)
because i am a big autist and like maxxing out everything i can, it leads to being way too overprepared for every boss which in return makes the game too easy and not fun
i have to force myself to be underprepared to actually have fun and be able to die In boss fights
my first infernum dog took 180 attempts lol
says a lot about it
Cuz this place ain't the place for what im referring to.
Yeah it’s honestly why I have been enjoying my infernum runs. Even if I have the best gear for that part of the game if I don’t know the boss patterns im still gonna get melted
shit was fun as hell both times i played it
i'm a bum so my first infernum dog took 35 atts
and then 6
really? i played infernum 2 times, both as rogue, and found the lack of defense really bad, so i can't imagine summoner
maybe the damage makes up for it
I'll try it next then why not
i havant actually played calamity through with summoner
i played every class like twice except summoner because i could never get through the early game 😭
my second summoner playthru WAS gonna be a rogue playthru but i switched to summoner pre-plantera because my dps was so bad
Saw my friend fighting new Brain of Chtulhu
That’s really a nice thing, devs. Keep it up.
Much better than was at…gulp bountiful harvest update
Will all Vanilla bosses be reworked that massively?
i'd assume so
the brain of cthulu fight now is amazing
i love how he shows what move he's going to make
it's really fun
True
that massively? im unsure. but all vanilla bosses will be reworked yes
Beloved big E
turn skeletron into freakbob
when Yharon gets his rework, he will literally come out of the screen
🙏
you will be given a sword
wasn't your name colorful yesterday
what happened
patreon bot removed my role cuz I didnt renew it for this month
although auric ppl get to stay in the patreon server as they only have to pledge once 
is it expensive
50 dollars
Looking at the past and at what we have now, I really have no idea why the F guy was in charge for bosses ai
Especially considering he never made something from rock bottom
brainstorm for 50 dollars
would gladly spend 50 dollars to be an eric bar patreon
smiles
he gatekeeped bosses because he was afraid of anyone out doing him
Most vanilla bosses don't need fundamental changes to have engaging attacks like BoC did, so I doubt we'll see consistent total overhauls like that. Case in point, Skeletron has a good enough base concept that attack patterns and spice can be built on top of him, rather than from needing to revise it from the ground up.
and then infernum outdid him and he couldn't do anything about it
Kind of sad that he was insecure abt a terraria mod of all things
Yeah but thats not a high bar to beat
out of ALL of the things you decide to be insecure about.. it's a teraria mod?
since yknow he wouldn't let anyone design bosses to be actually good
and he still is trying to make terraria mods even after everything that happened 💀
LOL really?
Sadly yes
i'm gonna need somebody to DM my unaware ass so i can get it
Whilst also doubling down on what he said abt trans people
is that so
Yeah, it’s just.. yknow. BoC gaps a bit too highly from the rest CalVanilla bosses
when it comes out
People will hook their ego to anything, do not underestimate the extents in which humans will attach themselves to bullshit
i thought you had to keep paying to stay in the discord server
there is a lot of things you can do with skeletron, i personally think vanilla skeletron fight is really badly made
Technically yes but the bot doesnt work properly and so ppl dont get kicked when theyre suppost to.
Ozz didnt really care to fix it and none of the cal devs really mind so 🤷♂️
I didn't say Skeletron is a good fight, just that the foundation we already have is good enough to build off of, unlike BoC which had basically nothing to work with except There's Creepers and It Has Shadow Clones
2.0.4 MMDM sprime
i want to draw and play ultrakill but my head hurts so fucking much all i can do is lay in bed and suffer fuck my stupid chungus life
eh
ultramid.....................
/j
im dying umbara
oblivion prime might be the most over "rated" of the master bosses
because like
the fight wasnt even that hard
oblivion prime?
Huh?
Skeletron prime had two heads as an oblivion reference or some such thing
the double prime heads was a direct reference to a boss called oblivion
Ohhhh
i predict yharim will release june 14th 2027 5:30 pm
but he didn't need to spawn the other mechs
should timeless be bigger area? its the orange one (ignore amidias he has sinned)
way too soon
god i wish
wait
and why was it a vanilla tweak
WHY DID YOU ENCASE AMIDIAS IN 5 TRILLION TONS OF SAND
fab would've had to be banished like
it was terrible but most fights were
2 months after the mod came out
and have locked in devs the entire time
for yharim to come out in 2027
yharim someday
sso someday
shhh....
updated yharim release prediction: july 14th 2029 6:45 am
Yharim will come out with the full release of PT
there is a reason yharim has been on my mind btw and its not just because i love him so much
hm
Hmmmm....
walks away
get back here
honestly
i think something that should be in the next major update is a resprite to the set bonus effects
walks in your direction
Stands in Carny's way
Which sets?
All of them?
i was thinking specifically about bloodflare
I will admit some of the post-ML set bonus vfx are lacking
Especially that one, yeah.
but all of them (that need them of course) would be sick asf
cuz i don't mind stuff like the aerospec summoner set's valk
because that's a pre-HM set
it does NOT need to be flashy
We did get the dash from the Godslayer set redone
i loved seeing that effect for the first time
Hey devs any updates on multiplayer death mode being fixed?
life or death for fish man
he disappeared
heres the layers i made for the build
what layer to build.... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
other than clamland and cnidrion bc i hate lots of building structures
Hydrothermic heating vents!!!
cnidron layer could just be part of the shores probably
i doubt it needs a whole layer if you dont wanna build that
just gonna be full of barrel cactus and mire
only dont wanna bc i dont like building the arenas
also i think it might be more interesting if you had the layers not only with vertical layers but with horixzontal variation too
at least for the underwater ones
ye mostly gonna do that with polyp thats why its so thin
makes sense
mix it with reef and burrows
Why is the Inactive Lava Zone from Subnautica at the bottom?
SSO is secretly subnautica 2
basalt gully and polyp forest look very similar to lava zone and grassy area in safe shallows
i love that the hue of the basalt gully is implemented just not the background it just looks like evil sunken sea now
ik what ima do for the basalt gully.
this
You mean the Kelp Forest?
Grassy Plateaus.
ye
polyp forest got the exact same grass lol
devs should make a purple glowing mushroom biome generate underneath polyp forest
Pretty sure canonically there is a glowing mushroom biome near the Sunken Sea because Crabulon went from SS to GM when it died.
im onto u calamity devs ik ur just making subnautica 2
Calamity is Unknown Worlds?
wait is the basalt gully an actual half implemented biome? ive got basalt gully lava and lighting
it internally counts as its own biome yes, it's just the most barebones when it comes to having its own dedicated content
how are people seeing this shit
?
Make your own sunken sea!
all the blocks are in the latest public release
you just need to cheat some of them in manually since they dont have obtainment methods for regular gameplay
ive almost done building a rough prototype for gully setpiece
the ones that dont have items dont have obtainment methods
ill do it now
superheated obsidian and runestone cobble first come to mind
How is sea prism wall of all things not obtainable when it’s a wall of an obtainable block, someone just didn’t implement the recipe ig?
never had an item implemented
heart was the main person doing worldgen at the time so i imagine she would've implemented the tiles just to generate them in the world and planned on doing the items later once she was satisfied with generation
though that obviously never came to fruition cause she left
many such cases
this is the one and only thing ill ask from devs. pls implement a block like the bubble block to generate inbetween pools so we can have subnautica the lava zone
i dont think anyone ever considered that there were tiles without item counterparts either because some of these were committed directly to the main branch
underwater lava is such a cool thing to see in games
could be like a steam block or something
Why does my destroyer take 1 damage for the whole fight its like the damage reduction isnt going away
oops
oh so you made it real
It was always real
btw is the mire block supposed to be like a hazard block or something, ik the barrel cactuses ar meant to be just arent done yet
bc if i remember mire is supposed to be a quicksand type thing
mire was just additional flavor for the transitional zone
okay good i already felt afraid enough seeing barrel cactus were gonna be like the rolling cactai
i think thats how u say cactai atleast
(cacti)
just make superheated obsidian crafted with like 10 obsidian and a lava bucket lol lmao
You.
also here my little prototype for a gully setpiece
its based on subnautica lava castle
i resused some crag assets bc theres only like 3 blocks to work with
looks good so far 👍
unfortunate it forces that background throughout the entire thing but nothin you can do bout it ig
ye and i cant use dragonlens to force spawn walls like the obsidian so i cant cover it
funnily enough gully was actually planned to not be underwater
you'd be making it more accurate to the whats in dev by removing the water lol
great minds think alike, right there
just imagine this is background
or well, whats on the github would be more accurate ig since its all technically public now
oh wait
ooh i love basalt
do we really have access to beta SSO generation??
if you know how to use github and dig through commit history yes
when life gives you lemons.... make life take them back!
multiple people have already accessed it
well that's rather interesting
id say gully is prob my fav biome bc i think that needing a hardmode pick to mine it would make traversal earlygame rlly intresting
Betcha kiri's already combed through it then
ive never seen it showcased publicly here though
@lapis oak have you dug into the SSO generation from old github commits
wonder how well the generation would work if at all
you can kill me for the ping later
this is SCIENCE
or uh. engineering ig cuz you'd be throwing yourself at it
no kiri cant do that because hes stupid
So evil
ima start looking just to see if theres any more gully blocks im missing
outside of missing basalt walls im pretty sure you got all of em
the only physical tiles in the gully are superheated obsidian, basalt and volcanic sand sadly
I will say
whenever sunken sea gets all those biomes
I do hope it isn't just layers upon layers
Don't do this
what why not
Don't
why not...
itd give people the wrong idea
theres a reason why i havent shared anything drastic
i find it funny that the biome with the least blocks is the only one with an actual functioning biome

they absolutely are
If I see a single screenshot of SSO gen reddit or here I am putting ass to belt and making sure no other non-release commit ever makes it out of the development repo
You have been warned
Are you thinking of the same people?
Keep it to yourself guys...
I hope people don’t get the wrong idea about Fovenator
yea it wouldve been more shit if the horse was still here
😊
We were robbed!
i feel like its best to listen bc i imagine it would not be very stable generating anyway
your intuition is likely correct
I need to push my barrel cactus echo to calmain’s repository
for all we know really
little E making you invisible on the map is peak
i read thru alot of it and doesnt seem entirely functional
it was only in effectively an alpha, not even a beta probably
cause like for example it isnt even 100% decided on where polyp generates
Yeah it’s very very very messy rn
I’ve been reading the code and there are some really neat things in there tho
Like scrapped behavior with Burning Revelation where it would also fire healing stars
feel like its best if nobody wastes hours tryna move the code only for ur world to corrupt
Given the pure resentment syrup seems to have
It’s probably best we don’t touch it with a 40 yard pole
I'm a bit more intrigued as to what sunken sea's really gonna look like once it eventually gets reworked
The tiles are gorgeous though I’m really excited to see them in game proper
I’m really intrigued as to what 2.2 is gonna be
Ozz has stated the aren’t really going to disclose anything until they’re confident with it so we must wait and see
I've got some guesses
in faaaaact
I betcha it's gonna have another boss rework
and I think it'll be lizard scourge
its gonna be eow obviously
Idk I feel like they won’t do that without scourge nest which they won’t do until the SSO

I doubt they'll be touching any of the vanilla bosses till they fix up the modded bosses
like brain was a great proof of concept
for what they can do with vanilla bosses
but fuck me if the sentinels aren't the most abysmal horrendous things to ever have laid eyes on
next update gonna called spine readjustment and give eow revamp
tho geninuely i hope they continue with the brainstorm updates features of adding a little content but mostly revamping and cutting bad stuff
if we REALLY wanna hit a home run they'd pull out a yharon or exo rework
but that's almost impossible
at least for 2.2 lul
Yharon deserves it🙏
yharon animation hell
yeah..
Next update WILL be Slime Overhaul, obviously.
that's the main thing holdin' it back and we just haven't heard of any progress for that
My guess is if they’re keeping it hush hush they’re doing some sort of content overhaul, maybe the acid rain stuff?
i doubt we would get this but i would like something ANYTHING on what the scourge nest is gonna be like
they locked in and got it done and the rework is in production rn
One day🙏
i love watching you guys speculate on this keep going
also would like to know what layer polyp is gonna be (tho personally id rather it be more like a reg biome that generates throughout the upper sector)
There's so many things 2.2 could be
Soon he will not feel like a duke fishron clone I beg🙏
it's an exciting prospect
i warned you
warning taken of course
don't fuck it up or i'll start force pushing edited branch histories to get rid of All of the evidence
this is a privilege
and that doesn't sound like a fun time for you to manage
sure doesn't :D
so I'm leavin' it alone
SSO postponed by 1 century bc u got curious
hey rlly minor glitch i found
basalt slab doesnt have a slope sprite
just goes invis
doesnt rlly matter not like anyone but me is using it
shit's huge
I feel like it'd be weird for the next update to be another big rework/adjust update like brainstorm personally
only thing i want is a couple extra blocks for the biomes that are lacking rn and some scourge nest news
my humble self thinks they'd prefer to do a content update proper; Specially with their next planned content update proper, SSO, being put on the backlog
The community has been craving for one too
they're under proper management, not to mention they have an actual goal this time
Like i feel like even there'd be alot of backlash
id like to think itd be sky update but sky update would be too big
So it won't be remotely even CLOSE to brainstorm but it'll still have the same ideas
bc most of the blocks are only going to the upper 2 layers
If they did another brainstorm-esque update, regardless of how reasonableo r fair the backlash may be
it could be focused solely on aerialite but idk
could be sulph sea/acid rain update
hrm
Brainstorm was a very unorganized update
triangle alr has sprites and i think yuh was it tried testing out the ideas triangle had for ai
(skybombers)
and that isn't a good thing
tbh devs shouldnt feel pressured by those ppl whining that their boss rush mod gameplay was extended slightly
It was only like that due to its development history and how it came to be
we aren't pressured
we're kinda the opposite of pressured
boring gameplay will be hanged until morale improves
So you think that the next update might add in some more stuff from SSO?
i saw the reddit for like a couple minutes. never going on that app again they are filled with hate
or did I misunderstand
hell burnout
Nah
I am saying i think the next update is a content update
With a clear direction
oh
Much like SSO was Supposed to be
rather vague but I getchu
unfortunately, horse
i rlly wanna know what is like the main thing making SSO take so long? im gonna guess its making the ai and animation
After years of people waiting for it
SSO fell to mainly scope creep
art iirc
It's nothing bc sso isnt being worked on atm
It's not that it's taking long, it's that it was put on the backburner
everything
Because everyone got sick of fish.
ill forward what cd said cuz he said it really well hold on
that floral paradise thing mentioned a couple times seemed promising
as long as gorthus is still on it everything is right in the world
Yeah Gorthus is still in, technically
ah that does sound horrible basically had to make SSO twice
gorthus was a new thing anyways wasnt he, since you came up with him
Indeed
though it does give me more time to build SSO myself knowing it isnt even being worked on
i think once we focus on the sunken sea again the lore stuff might be the only stuff that doesnt get massively redone
i only got in last year april but it just seemed like people were more interested in doing other things
The lore...
there wasn't really any clear direction outside of a few base concepts and just "we gotta rework the sunken sea"
Our new SSO was only really derivative of the older one in foundation (mainly worldgen concepts, which were also by me, though when I was a lot less experienced)
This kinda spoiled, to some degree, what came after, though it's far from unsalvageable
sso was ultimately a project started (unplanned) by devs from multiple generations ago, dev team wise. no one was motivated and no one had planned it out
about 2.2 speculation, stip didn't you say you were in the lore mines
I'm always in the lore mines silly
true
yeah i have stip boiling in a pot while i poke him with a pitchfork until he fills the lore repo
The question is which one!
my main problem of calamity tho hasnt been the biomes, its mostly been the boss rush feeling of it all. im rlly happy brainstorm addressed alot of my issues with the mod
Yes I'm being boiled alive by jasper send help
Not until you write 500 more dragons.
tongiht we dine on stip soup
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo
save us distortion
😋
yummy!
vetrasyl, the souped one
ye im not even gonna mention post-ml that is unpleasent to the point i usually stop playing post-ml
valid
otonilou made a soup of his body after she took his soul
Calamity mod advertising itself with a WHOLE NEW STAGE POST MOON LORD!
look inside
its just a boss rush
fight my 6 post moon lord enemies
i don't think otonilou would do that but providence definitely made a reduction of the flame dragon
exploration content? ype. o fcourse
but ye id still rather focus on pre-ml because thats where players spend most of their time anyway
explore my post moonlord dungeon (one enemy)
Things to do after fighting Yharon:
Hit rocks with pickaxe for five minutes.
my hatred for post-providence exploration is unmatched
do u also have this issue with vanilla hardmode ores
the humble nearly doubled amount of hm bosses:
post moonlord is such glorpshit they could only be bothered to add 1 pickaxe
or vanilla chlorophyte farming
Or more accurately post-procidence retreadding
Yeah that's also ridiculous.
The first two ores are pointless, since you just get them for the pickaxe.
admittedly i am a little nervous that, once we go back to sso, people will be angry if it doesnt visually match what they expect or if it doesnt use all the sprites that have been made for it so far. i think if the artists on the team put our brains together we can make something that kicks immense ass i just hope people are open to the idea that it might not be exactly how they're expecting it to look
vanilla chlorophyte farming is horrible only if im playing ranger
And at least Chlorophyte is slightly dangerous to harvest.
i think the general response would be positive
cuz the only sso artist whos still on the team is like. triangle. the sole survivor
Dont mess with calamity devs we hate our mod 
guy who's never made turtle armor
i'm skeptical but you haven't let us down yet, keep cooking
outside of irrational chronically online ppl on the cal subreddit the general response to brainstorm was positive
Vanilla atleast species it up with new enemies and the occasional stretch of new underground evil/hallow, so it's not literally just the same thing as pre hardmode mining
at least i think so
cmon turtle isnt that horrible to make i allways have to get it for other when im playing cause he cant be bothered
There's a good reason Calamity changes ore progression in early Hardmode.
but then in post ml there are literally no new enemies 😭 😭 the horror ...
i have to make a new reddit account fuck my stupid chud life
No, you must be strong!
