Greetings Terrarians!

One of our favorite holidays approaches - Halloween! We don't know about you, but between the decorations, costumes, parties and more, it is just such a fun time of year. We hope that each of you gets a bit of time to indulge your spookier side and to maybe enjoy a handful of tricks or treats. Speaking of, we have a full candy pail of both to hand out for this month's State of the Game... so step right up, ring the doorbell, and let's see what horrific surprises await Terrarians everywhere!









In case you missed the big reveal last week, we are doing the second major crossover update in the history of Terraria - this time with the long-running hit indie survival game, Don't Starve Together! Our good friends at Klei Entertainment have been hard at work in parallel with the team at Re-Logic in order to make both sides of this crossover worthy of the fanbases - and authentic to the gameplay - of each of these amazing titles. As you can tell from the above gifs, we are swapping terrifying foes. What else might be making the journey to DST and vice versa? Well... you will have to wait just a bit longer to find out. Stay vigilant, Terrarians, for life in The Constant can be quite harsh indeed!






Excited about the upcoming crossover? No better time to pick up a copy of Terraria for yourself - or as a treat for a friend - than right now! For the duration of the Steam Halloween Sale, Terraria will be half off! Click the banner above to head to our Steam Store Page and grab yours now!

STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS

Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!

The level of quality and quantity on the Terraria Steam Workshop just continues to climb - over 30,000 packs and worlds so far, which is just insane! If you have not checked out the Workshop yet, what are you waiting for?



As in the past, we are gathering up our possible selections that we will reveal in a future State of the Game!




We have a few Game Jams that are a bit on hold while we wrap up the collaboration with Don't Starve Together and the Steam Deck optimizations. The team is quite excited to delve back into these experiments soon!


So, for now, we will have to just continue to ask for your patience and trust in our process as we continue our own journey towards whatever lies ahead.






Hello everyone!

The work with and on the tModLoader 1.4 Alpha on Steam continues (thanks for all your feedback and help thus far!) - you can click the link below to find out more. Again, please keep in mind that this Alpha is primarily intended for developers as an audience - so play around with it at your own risk!

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1281930/discussions/0/3051733836205288319/


As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)







Greetings, Terrarians! Last time we checked in, we were just about to release Journey's End for Xbox and PlayStation. What a month it has been since then! Let's take a moment to check in on progress made on your feedback and bug reports - as well as a glimpse into what lies ahead!


HOTFIX #1 - OCTOBER 1, 2021- Release v1.4.0.5.4.2

• Fixed Syncing Files Bug

HOTFIX #2 - OCTOBER 7, 2021 - Release v1.4.0.5.4.3, Build 759

• Fixed autosave bug
  
• Fixed the black screen sync bug
  
• Fixed a crash when fighting Empress of Light
  
• Fixed a crash after long play times
  
• Fixed a crash in very old world saves
  
• Fixed hotbar navigation affecting player movement
  
• Fixed housing query controller bindings (Players will have to go into settings and rechoose from Classic, Advanced or Simplified again or bind the Housing Query setting)
  
• Fixed research not consuming the held item stack
  
• Fixed mouse conflicting in split screen pause menu
  
• Fixed PS4 offscreen mouse cursor

[/i]
[/list]




HOTFIX #2 - OCTOBER 19, 2021 - Release v1.4.0.5.4.4, Build 765

• "Classic" scheme has been changed to be the closest match Red's Pick from the Console 1.3 Era (though it retains the ability to remap/add all of the new functions available with 1.4)
  
• D-Pad Cursor Snap feature from RL/PW can be achieved by binding dpad to Grid Snap
  
• D-Pad Hotbar feature from RL/PW can be achieved by binding the four dpad directions to Dynamic Hotbar 1-4

• Fixed an issue where the system was wrongly capping the maximum number of worlds at 10, but the UI was not recognizing this cap. The world/map cap is now 30 as originally intended, and the UI will enforce this (no New button if you have 30 or more worlds)

• Fixed Geodes not being able to be thrown on the ground to open them

[/i]
[/list]

Check out the evolved Dpad Hotbar and Dpad Snap on Consoles via the video below!




The team is feeling pretty good about the state of things after the patch from last week, but we know a handful of bugs and issues are still wandering out there in the wild. We have most of these documented (again, the best way to make sure your issue is seen is to file a Bug Report in the TCF Bug Section by pressing the button below!)

NINTENDO SWITCH

In parallel, the team at DR is hard at work on the nuances required to get Terraria: Journey's End out on Nintendo Switch. The good news behind the scenes is that all of the fixes we just implemented for Xbox and PlayStation will be there on day one for Switch players - definitely a win-win there for everyone! Of course, we are sure you want to take a glimpse at what might be going on right? Well... here's a few snaps from recent testing - Moon Lord dying, his Bestiary Entry, and a bit of touch mining. (Before anyone asks, I like to play with as much space as possible, so I shunk/zoomed my UI pretty small - but this is all adjustable)








In terms of timing, we are starting to hone in on what things will look like. We are confident in that the game will be submitted to Nintendo this year. When or not we see a launch to players will really come down to the results of that submission process - amidst the complications of the impending Holidays. We want to be sure to get it out as quickly as possible to players, but also in a timeline that allows us to be able to quickly respond to any launch issues, as we did with Xbox and PlayStation. We expect to be able to share more detail on this very soon - but as always, we want to be 100% certain of things before giving dates. Stay tuned!



​

Hello everyone!

Mobile Terrarians, we are growing ever-closer to a return to development - this time, alongside our Console friends! The team is eagerly anticipating jumping headlong into bringing content parity to all platforms in the new year, we just need to get Switch out and stable first. Not much longer now!


We have also been made aware of some issues impacting some players in regards to Android 11. The team will be looking into this shortly, and we will get any needed fixes out just as soon as possible!

TERRARIA: JOURNEY'S END MOBILE BUG REPORTS

​

Thanks as always for the honor and trust you give us each month to work on Terraria - it is not a responsibility that we take lightly, and we look forward to bringing more amazing things to you all as we move forward.



​
Greetings Terrarians!

Here's the latest and greatest happenings on the Community side of things. Thanks as always for being the most engaged and awesome gaming Community ever!

​

The merchandise hub has a few new items added over the past month... and there are a lot more coming very soon! Big plans here for the 2021 Holiday season - so this is a place you will want to watch for all of your gift-giving (or rewarding yourself ːterrariaː ) needs!



Click the banner above to head to http://terraria.org/store now!​

We will be keeping this up to date and continuously adding to the offerings available here - so this is a page you will want to bookmark and check often!




We still have a handful of partnerships and products that remain under wraps, but that we will be revealing just as soon as the time is right - our plan is to have a LOT more out for the holidays. That said, what better time than the State of the Game to check in on news from our existing partners as well as to shine a light on some other things that are in the works?




Our fantastic partners over at Vidglo (https://terraria.shop/) have been hard at work on some new offerings for the Fall/Winter season. This includes the recently-released Halloween 2021 Collection!

You can also find quick links to each of these spooky products on the Merch Hub - these are some real treats that any Terrarian will want to pick up, no tricks!






A few weeks ago, preorders began for this amazing one-of-a-kind super high-end collectible resin statue from Animegami Studios! To be clear, this is a very high-end piece that is intended for the hardcore Terraria fan - and may not be for everyone. That said, our good friends at AGS have done what they can to enhance the affordability via an array of interest-free payment plans that spread out the cost over time.


Click the image above to check out the details and to preorder the Forest Biome Resin Statue!






In case you missed our earlier announcement, we have a couple of Halloween Contests going on where you can show your spooky side as well as your love for Terraria all at once! This year, we are running an in-game costume contest along with our long-standing traditional pumpkin carving contest.

Check out all of the rules and details via the link below - remember, all entries must be in by 11:59PM Eastern Time on Monday, November 1!



2021 TERRARIA HALLOWEEN CONTEST DETAILS



Until next time, Terrarians - we hope you have an amazing month, and we look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest next time!

Good Afternoon, Terrarians!

Just wanted to share a quick update on stuff the team has been doing. As we mentioned before, we are doing some Steam Deck optimization-focused stuff, and that work is going quite well...



...beyond that, you know how we always say that we are done adding content to Terraria? Well, about that... oh, wait, sorry, wrong game! Carry on, nothing to see here...​

Greetings Terrarians,
We are excited to announce several upcoming Halloween themed Terraria events where you can win prizes. Full details regarding the Halloween events and exclusive Terraria prize shop can be found in the official Terraria Discord server. In addition, Congratulations to the Terraria Discord server for being one of the largest Discord communities in the world and crossing the 200k online benchmark!

Join the live Terraria community at https://discord.gg/terraria

That said, let's open this creaky door and head into this haunted house of scares!


Attention Terrarians, skeletons, ghosts, and other creatures that lurk within this server! Halloween is quickly approaching and we are hosting some special spooky contests this month that could potentially give you a massive boost in Prize Points.

What are Prize Points / Special Prize Points?
Prize Points are used to purchase game codes, signed Terraria merchandise, and server roles from our Prize Merchant Bot! You can view the Prize Points shop in the bot-commands channel by using the shp!viewshop command. Special Prize Points only apply towards the @Zenith and @Ultra Instinct roles.

Terraria Prize Shop
The exclusive Terraria Prize Shop features many incredible prizes including signed t-shirts, hoodies, pins, Steam games, and much more. You can redeem prizes with the prize points earned from events. In addition to these Halloween events there are daily activities in our communities ranging from Trivia to art creation and you can earn prize points from all these activities. Come by the Discord server located at https://discord.gg/terraria to check out this incredible feature.


The first contest will be an in-real life pumpkin carving contest! This is a tradition in the community that has taken place many times over the years, since the first iteration in 2013. Think you got what it takes to enter that hall of fame? Check out the images below for examples of past winners!








How do you enter?
Create a spooky piece of Terraria-related art on a pumpkin, put a candle in it, and photograph it in the dark for the best look!

Please DM your photo submissions to @Submission Bot on our Discord to enter the contest. The first photo should be of the entry by itself, and then send a second photo which has your Discord username on a piece of paper in front of your entry, so we can verify that it is original. Entries without this second image for verification will not be accepted.

The rewards for this contest are as follows:

The second contest will be an in-game Halloween Costume-themed Vanity contest so let your imagination and creativity go wild and create some real spooky costumes that would even scare the Moon Lord! Of course, if you have an amazing in real life Terraria costume that you want to show off, we won't turn that down either.

Terraria Halloween Costume Contest Rules

Greetings Terrarians!

Fall is nearly upon us, as 2021 turns towards its latter stages. We have always figured that the final few months of this year would be an intense and fantastic time for Terraria and Terrarians, and the reality is lining up with that quite well. From Xbox/PlayStation getting Journey's End in a week to ongoing work on Switch to a wide array of new merchandise items and much more - 2021 may be winding down, but Terraria is just getting started! We have a ton to go over this month, so let's jump right in!







Recently, we were fortunate enough to receive one of the early waves of development hardware for Steam Deck. Terraria runs so well already on this amazing new platform, it is so customizable and opens the door for all new control schemes and more - in fact, the team is already looking for ways to further optimize the experience. This will take the form of a small upcoming PC update in order to optimize the controls, etc. in time for Steam Deck launch. We cannot wait for everyone to experience Terraria on Steam Deck - it really is a fantastic device for playing our game.

STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS

Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!

The level of quality and quantity on the Terraria Steam Workshop just continues to climb - nearly 30,000 packs and worlds so far, which is just insane! If you have not checked out the Workshop yet, what are you waiting for?



As in the past, we are gathering up our possible selections that we will reveal in a future State of the Game!




The team is taking a bit of a break from the Game Jams to work on the small Terraria PC update mentioned above in the Steam Deck news. We are looking forward to diving back into our latest Jam with both feet once we have that all squared away. It is a pretty cool second concept, and we are really enjoying how it is turning out.


So, for now, we will have to just continue to ask for your patience and trust in our process as we continue our own journey towards whatever lies ahead.






Hello everyone!

As we shared previously, the tModLoader 1.4 Alpha is out now - you can click the link below to find out more. Do keep in mind that this Alpha is primarily intended for developers as an audience - so play around with it at your own risk! :)

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1281930/discussions/0/3051733836205288319/


As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)







Greetings, Terrarians! One week ago, we revealed the launch date for Journey's End on PlayStation and Xbox - leaving us one week out from this amazing update being in your hands!




The team is eagerly anticipating the launch, and we hope that each and every one of you enjoy the fruits of our labors over the past several months. We have really enjoyed working on this update and thank you as always for entrusting us with the opportunity. It is not a responsibility that we take lightly!


Of course, the team will be on full alert and standby for any bugs or issues that arise at launch - so be sure to use the Bug Report process that we will share in the launch day post if you encounter any issues!

NINTENDO SWITCH

The team is continuing to chip away at the extra work needed to bring Journey's End to Nintendo Switch! What all does that entail? Mostly it has to deal with the specific features and scenarios that the Switch presents. Things such as


UI differences - Docked vs Undocked, etc.
Further Performance Optimization
Touch Controls Optimization, including the hybrid control styles dictated by Switch
All of the specific platform-required stuff
etc.



We do not have a precise update on timing to give you just yet. Give us a bit longer to be sure that things continue to stay on track and on schedule - we certainly do not want to give you any timing estimates that we are not confident to hit! That said, as of today, everything is very much going well and remains on time.



​

Hello everyone!

Hang in there, our Mobile friends - your time in the spotlight will come again soon enough. As you will see above, we are getting ever-closer to that console release, after which we will be entering the era of "Parity" where we are going to be pushing for a world where all Terrarians are on the same version.

We have also been made aware of some issues impacting some players in regards to Android 11. The team will be looking into this shortly, and we will get any needed fixes out just as soon as possible!

The response to this Kickstarter-as-preorder campaign could not have been stronger! Terrarians everywhere have spoken loudly with their support here - blowing away the $10,000 campaign goal to the tune of over $250k in preorders! Our partners at Skyland are now hard at work with lining everything up to get these out to everyone in the near future. Once we have an update on a specific timeline for delivery, we will get that to you! For now, we would refer everyone here:

SKYLAND ARTS TERRARIA FIGURES SERIES 1A PRODUCTION UPDATE

Missed your chance? Not to worry, Skyland has left things open for a bit longer via a "Late Order" system that you can check out below!


LATE PREORDER SKYLAND ARTS LIMITED EDITION TERRARIA FIGURES - SERIES 1A HERE!






Our fantastic partners over at Vidglo (https://terraria.shop/) have been hard at work on some new offerings for the Fall/Winter season. The first of those to roll out (available very soon!) will be the Terraria Halloween Collection - which you can see in the sneak peek above!

We will update the Merch Hub the instant these are available, and you can keep an eye on https://terraria.shop/ as well so that you know the instant these are released!






We are thrilled that 1.4 update is finally coming to PlayStation and Xbox! If you are not already involved in the Terraria community then join the official Terraria Discord server to recruit allies to join your world, discuss all things Terraria, participate in events with prizes, and so much more.


We host daily events in the Terraria Discord server where you can win exclusive Terraria merchandise in our custom Terraria Prize Shop. Our official activities range from Terraria trivia to art events where the community votes for the winner!


The Terraria Discord server is the central hub to chat live with your fellow Terrarians so please stop by and introduce yourself if you have not done so already.



Until next time, Terrarians - we hope you have an amazing month, and we look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest next time!

Greetings Terrarians!


It's back to school time for those of you still in school - and for everyone else, its the dog days of Summer as we look forward to cooler temperatures of what will hopefully be an amazing Fall season. One thing we know for certain is that the last few months of 2021 will see a lot of exciting happenings for Terraria! We have lots of juicy news across the board this month, so let's not waste any more time chatting!

Our lineup of Developer's Choice picks this time are great in their simplicity and focus on specifics. They have a clear goal and accomplish it well - we hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Game jams keep on jamming on! We finished up our first jam project and are off onto another very different experiment at this time. The entire process has been a lot of fun and immensely helpful towards exploring ideas, building skills, and improving on how we work together. All of these things will pay huge dividends down the road!

So, for now, we will have to just continue to ask for your patience and trust in our process as we continue our own journey towards whatever lies ahead.

Greetings, Terrarians! August 25th was yesterday, and what a day it was. Why, you ask? Well, yesterday we officially pressed the submission buttons for Terraria: Journey's End on PlayStation and Xbox! Now, we invite all of you to anxiously wait on Sony and Microsoft to complete their review process, after which we will be ready to turn this amazing update over to all of you!


We wish we could be more exact and give you a launch date. However, the review process is not all that predictable in terms of how long it takes, what might need to be addressed, etc. in each submission. Rest assured that when we hear something, we will let everyone know just as soon as we can.


This is the final stretch folks - thanks so much for your patience thus far!





Performance checking with Pumpkin Moon? Child's Play! Let's add in a Destroyer!


Ok, sure... but now do it in Splitscreen (seriously, do not try this at home kids!)





Work is officially underway on bringing the awesomeness of Journey's End to Nintendo Switch. We do not have an exact time to give you just yet, but here's a screenshot of Zenith doing its thing on Switch! Once we get a bit deeper in, we will have an update on timing for you. Stay tuned!

Greetings Terrarians!

Here's the latest and greatest happenings on the Community side of things. Thanks as always for being the most engaged and awesome gaming Community ever!

​

As we have brought on more and more amazing merchandise partners over the last two years, it became apparent to us that we would need some sort of centralized "hub" from which Terrarians could easily see and browse all that is available. We have been working on this behind the scenes, and we are happy to share that our first version of this is now available on https://terraria.org/store!



Click the banner above to head to http://terraria.org/store now!​

This will be your one-stop-shop where we will have all of the currently-active Terraria merchandise on display. If you see something that you like, simply click on the item and you will be whisked away to the storefront of whichever partner makes that particular product so that you can check out further details and complete your purchase.

Everything is laid out by category and easily navigated via the index and/or search. Please let us know any feedback that you might have so that we can make this experience the best that it can be!

We will be keeping this up to date and continuously adding to the offerings available here - so this is a page you will want to bookmark and check often!



TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES

We still have a handful of partnerships and products that remain under wraps, but that we will be revealing just as soon as the time is right - our plan is to have a LOT more out for the holidays. That said, what better time than the State of the Game to check in on news from our existing partners as well as to shine a light on some other things that are in the works?




Our partners at Skyland Arts have at long last rolled out preorders for the first wave of Terraria Collectible Figures. Three figures are included in this first set: Dryad, Shadow Armor, and Eye of Cthulhu (with removable iris, to expose its second phase). Skyland does not have its own digital storefront, so they have decided to utilize Kickstarter as their preorder method. The up-front expenses have been paid, the tooling of the steel production molds has already begun, and the factory is ready to produce the figures. This pre-order campaign helps Skyland to judge how many of each figure to produce and ensures that every Terrarian gets the one that they want most!

To check out the purchase options and to place your order, click the link below or the figure images above to head on over to the Kickstarter page!

SKYLAND ARTS TERRARIA FIGURES SERIES 1A PREORDER PAGE

Prototype Painting is done and the run-up to preorders for this premium high-end collector's piece is about to begin! You will want to keep an eye on the page linked below for the latest and greatest on this limited edition set!

Join us for the Terraria Meme Event! This awesome event is in collaboration with our Discord alliance and many communities are participating. Our goal is to have some fun and start working together with other big communities on fun collaboration events. We are always open to suggestions for future Alliance events!

The event is currently live in the official Terraria Discord server at Join the Terraria Discord Server! in the #alliance-event channel.



Rules:

• Only submit game memes. Try to incorporate the theme of our community.
• You must submit an image/GIF.
• It must be your own original work.
• No NSFW submissions.
• You only need to submit your entry in our server.
• Only one entry per person.
• Submissions period ends August 27th at 12PM PDT.


After we receive all submissions we will then add them to a Google form and open voting to all participating Alliance servers. Voting will also last for a week and end September 3rd at 12PM PDT.

The top 10 voted entries will get to pick a prize from our Alliance prize pool. This prize pool is comprised of a year of Discord Nitro and many games available via Steam or Epic. In addition to the top 10 global winners our server is going to give prizes to the top 5 entries from our server.






We are excited to announce that we are expanding the TCT to help many Discord communities and it will be referred to as "The Community Team" going forward. The TCT will still function in the same capacity within the Terraria community, but now all partnered and verified servers will be allowed to apply to join the TCT as an Affiliated community.

Affiliated communities are required to promote the TCT to their servers as their community management recruitment and training platform. Our goal is to provide a platform where anyone can learn how to help communities and what opportunities are available.

TCT will launch with the following Teams:

Until next time, Terrarians - we hope you have an amazing month, and we look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest next time!

Greetings Terrarians!

We wanted to share the awesome news that the first three Collectible Terraria figures that we have teased in past State of the Game posts are now available for preorder! These amazing pieces were developed by our partners at Skyland Arts, and are the first in what we hope will be several waves of figures that Terraria fans will love to get their hands on!

Skyland does not have its own digital storefront, so they have decided to utilize Kickstarter as their preorder method. The up-front expenses have been paid, the tooling of the steel production molds has already begun, and the factory is ready to produce the figures. This pre-order campaign helps Skyland to judge how many of each figure to produce and ensures that every Terrarian gets the one that they want most!

Without further ado, let's check out the lineup for this first wave of Terraria figures!










Again, these will be available for preorder on the Kickstarter page below for the next month or so. While these figures may appear at a later date at retailers, the only way to ensure that you get your hands on the figure(s) that you want is to get your preorder in now!

That's it for starters, but we are just getting warmed up. Look forward to hearing about more fun Terraria events during the Summer of 2021!

Can you believe it, Terrarians? The game that we all know and love so much is about to reach its tenth birthday! No doubt, it has been a long and amazing journey that we have enjoyed taking with you - one full of twists and turns, ups and downs, and more than a few surprises along the way. Even crazier is that Terraria is stronger than ever as it heads into its second decade - with no end in sight!

We could not do it or be here without the amazing and passionate support of each and every one of you - so we want to formally invite you to join in on the Terraria Tenth Anniversary Celebration! What all do we have in store?

Check out the current slate of events below - and you will want to keep an eye on this page as we may have another surprise or two in store, you never know....



Happy Birthday, Terraria and Terrarians! Today, the game we all know and love so much turns 10 years old. It has been a great time to look back and reflect on the past as well as look forward to what the future might hold. We hope that everyone has been able to participate in our "Pre-Anniversary" Contests thus far... and is looking forward to what today and the rest of the celebration holds. We did promise a few surprises along the way did we not? Let's dive in and open up this first birthday present...


That's right, Terrarians - the dev team put together their very own birthday gift from us to all of you. Now, this update may not contain any new content (we were serious when we said 1.4.2 was it ;) ) - it does contain a very special celebratory world seed that is unlike any other that we have made previously. Oh, and we did toss in a few neat bug fixes for you while we were at it...

To access this special new World Seed, you will need to figure out its name and enter that into the World Seed field on the World Creation Menu. What is the name of the seed? What surprises await you inside? Well, that is for you to uncover...
​

• Added Celebratory Seed
  
• Corrected the damage on Frost Armor's set bonus debuff from 20 to 25 DPS.
  
• Fixed Vulkan and Metal rendering issues that lead to crash, on FNA builds.
  
• Fixed a certain exploit.
  
• Fixed missing tooltip in Queen Slime's treasure bag.
  
• Fixed every vine type except Normal/Flower vines from passing on paint as they grow longer.
  
• Fixed King Slime's spiked minions being able to pick up money and despawn with it, similar to Queen Slime's minions previously.

NOTE: Terraria 1.4.2.3 requires a new dedicated server version for those that use it, linked below:





From May 13th until May 17th, Terraria is half off on Steam! If you have been waiting all this time to try out this amazing 2D sandbox adventure, there is no better time than now. Become a part of the second decade of Terraria... or even bring along a friend or four.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/105600/Terraria/

Head on over to our Steam Store Page to pick up - or gift - a copy today!





Of course, you knew we couldn't resist playing an active role in this celebration! The entire Re-Logic team will be conducting an AMA on the r/Terraria Subreddit on May 17th, beginning at 10am Pacific Time. We will do our very best to have as many team members as possible answer each and every question (or at least the ones we have an answer for...). You will NOT want to miss out on this chance to ask the burning questions for the team.

TERRARIA TENTH ANNIVERSARY AMA WITH RE-LOGIC

(When the event is live, the text above will be a link to the thread on Reddit)

On top of that, be on the lookout for Re-Logic team members hanging out in Discord in the Terraria-Chat channel over the next couple of weeks - we have encouraged everyone on the team to take some time out (as they can) to actively hang out and enjoy the festivities! The link to our Discord Server is below!






It’s celebration time Terrarians!

Incredible to think that it has been 10 years since we set that initial version of Terraria out into the world. From humble beginnings to selling 35 Million copies across all platforms - it all started with a dream and some imagination.

Now it’s your turn to infuse Terraria with your own imagination. In honor of Terraria’s tenth anniversary, we’re having a contest where you get to show off your own creativity and how you envision Terraria. There are categories for all Terrarians, whether you play on PC, Console, Mobile, or even our new Stadia players.

We have a category for Steam Workshop Maps and Texture Packs, a category for Art, a category for Screenshots featuring in-game builds, and even a category for Other - anything that doesn't fit into the first three categories. You can choose to enter any category you'd like, so get your ideas ready, join us to celebrate, and dive in!






At last, Terrarians, we can reveal the entire AMAZING Tenth Anniversary Art Piece by Bohrokki to you all. Celebrating the multitude of armors and weapons from across the world of Terraria - and the seemingly endless ways to play - this piece reflects upon the community gathering together as much as it does the game itself. We are thrilled to be able to share this fitting work of art with each and every one of you out there. You inspire us to great things.

You will see a nice digital version below for now... and we are working with a handful of merchandise partners to try and bring a variety of printable options your way very soon - from the easy to the fancy/high end. Stay tuned for more on that front!

Greetings, Terrarians... and happy Terraria 1.4.2/Steam Workshop Support launch day!

That's right - at long last, we are able to provide an easy-to-use system and location for Terrarians everywhere to showcase their creative energies in all new ways. Starting today, everyone will be able to create, upload, share, download, and play a variety of types of game modifications within the vanilla Terraria game. Let's break down the new toys at your disposal!

NEW WAYS TO MODIFY THE CORE TERRARIA EXPERIENCE

WORLD UPLOADS

Have a really cool map that you want to share? The best Terraria golf course ever? Maybe an epic adventure map that would blow peoples' minds? This is your chance to share it with the world!




Change how Terraria looks, sounds, and reads with custom Packs that can alter various aspects of the game. Resource Packs and alter one, two, or all three of the content types below:



What if the Zenith were a giant banana? That doesn't sound too apeeling to us, but maybe its your thing - this is your chance to change up one, two, or maybe even all of the sprites in Terraria!



Want to change things up with the in-game soundtrack? Import your custom tunes via this very cool-sounding feature.



Feel like you could make a better translation - or a new one? Want to write your own custom dialogue for the NPCs? This is your lucky day!



Of course, if you want to take your modifications even further, impacting the core gameplay itself, you can take Terraria modding to the next level with the already-available tModLoader:







In order to help everyone learn how all of this works - both content users and content creators alike - our very own Leinfors hand-crafted the guide linked above. This is very comprehensive, covering every topic you could think of around how to get around and use these new features - both for Steam workshop and for our non-Steam players. We highly recommend that you check this out before getting started. This will always be linked at the top of our Steam Workshop Home Page as well via the "Learn More" Button.


These features are available to all PC Terrarians - whether you are on Steam or not - however, alongside these new toys comes Steam Workshop support for Terraria, giving players a place to showcase any amazing maps or Resource Packs that they have created for Terrarians everywhere to download and enjoy! Let's learn more, shall we?





That's right folks, we are embracing the wonders of Steam Workshop with this update in order to make Worlds and Resource Packs as accessible as possible to everyone. From within Terraria, you will be able to upload your creations to Workshop in order to share with other Terrarians everywhere!


Once a World or Resource Pack is uploaded to Terraria's Workshop, it will be there for other players to discover, subscribe to, and enjoy! Beyond that, using Workshop allows you to create and foster your own little community where you can discuss your creations and how they might be improved over time.
​
Features available on your Workshop page for each content item that you have uploaded include, but are not limited to:

• A description page, which can be updated with a full description of your choosing
  
• A dedicated discussion forum for your content
  
• A comments page
  
• A changelog page for updates you've made
  
• A variety of metrics and rating system information for Workshop files
  
• An option to change the name of the content (it uses the file name of the uploaded item by default)
  
• Options to attach additional screenshots or even videos to demonstrate your content in action
  
• A visibility toggle (the same as the visibility option you set when publishing)

Check out the new Terraria Steam Workshop by clicking the banner above - or by clicking the link below!

TERRARIA STEAM WORKSHOP

In addition, you can now easily find the Workshop any time you want by heading to the Terraria page in your Steam Library, clicking on Community Hub, and then clicking on "Workshop" in the top menu within the Hub.







The Re-Logic team is celebrating this release by putting out a couple of Texture Packs created by our own artists, Jimmarn and Lazure. You can find these located in the "Developer's Choice" section of the workshop, which is a special curated part of the Workshop where the Re-Logic team will be hand-picking Worlds and Resource Packs that we feel are the best of the best over time and tagging them with the Developer's Choice flag, placing them in this special section.



This is definitely an honor that we hope that everyone will strive for - and we cannot wait to see what you all will create!







Let's take a few moments to show you around the new Workshop - and then we will close with a very comprehensive Guide to all things Terraria Workshop written by our very own @Leinfors!
​


This is what it sounds like - the landing page for the Terraria Steam Workshop. You will find a few sections of interest here:

• Top Bar navigation allows you to quickly move between Home Page - Items - Collections - Favorites/Subscribed Items - Discussions about Workshop
  
• Below that, you will see two featured sections - one based on the most popular (most downloaded/rated) items and then another that is tied to the Developer's Choice section we mentioned above.
  
• Right Sidebar (top) allows you to see your Workshop Files (content you have personally uploaded) as well as the most popular/top rated/most recent content
  
• Right Sidebar (bottom) allows you to Browse all of the Terraria Workshop content via key terms/tags to help narrow your search. Note that on the home page, you can only select one tag, but on the Browse and other pages, you can select as many as you want to narrow down your search!
  
• At the very bottom, you will see three tabbed lists for Most Popular, Most Subscribed, and Most Recent

The Browse Page allows for you to do what it says... browse the available content items in the Terraria Workshop. Each listing is displayed in a grid complete with the name of the content, the author, and an average user rating (1-5 Stars). You can also check out your favorites list... your friends' favorites/content... and even follow your favorite content creators.

As mentioned on the homepage, you will see the list of tags on the right side so that you can narrow down your search. We will be listening to community suggestions to improve this starter list over time as well.



Once you find and click on something that you might be interested in, you will be whisked away to the...

Once again, this is precisely what it sounds like - the place where you can find out all there is to know about a specific piece of content prior to downloading.



Most of what is here is pretty self-explanatory. However, let's run it down:

• Image pane shows the feature image the creator chose as well as any other screenshots, etc.​
  
• Upper right shows the file size as well as creation date and any updates. You can also view any changelogs the author has shared here.​
  
• Below the image pane, you can give the content a thumbs up/down, favorite/share, award it (Steam Points), add to a collection, or report it (the little Flag icon)​
  
• Please familiarize yourself with the rules of what is and is not acceptable on Steam workshop​
  
• Vulgar, offensive, etc. content will be removed. As will any reported content that violates any legal issues/copyrights/etc.​
  
• Finally, we have the big green SUBSCRIBE button. Clicking this will allow you to download the content as well as sign you up for any future updates to this content.

Down below, you can leave comments on the content and interact with the author/creator.


Lots to go over there, to be sure - but those are the basics. There is really so much to know and learn here about how to create and use Workshop content on Terraria, we highly recommend that you check out Leinfors ' Guide linked below.



Other than the new customization features and Workshop support, we did have the time to squash a few more bugs within the core Terraria experience. That comprehensive list is shared below.
