Greetings Terrarians!
Back to school time already? Whether you are already back, heading back, or glad to have school way back in your personal rear-view mirror; there is always time for the latest Terraria news! Our teams have been working feverishly all month, adding new goodies to the game and balancing and fixing what already exists. Beyond that, we saw three product launches in the month of August - busy times! You will definitely want to dive deep into this State of the Game, as there is a good bit of juicy and important information to cover. Fall is right around the corner, and it is one of our favorite times of the year. Who knows, maybe we will see a return of the always-popular Terraria Halloween Contest...
Without further ado, shall we get right into all things Terraria?
PC - RE-LOGIC
TERRARIA 1.4.5 - TUNES, TIMING, AND NEW ADDITIONS
The team playthrough has come and gone. I don't think anyone will soon forget their time in The Mad Realm of Boulders! Fun was had, TONS of notes were taken, and the benefits of this playthrough are already being seen in the work on Terraria 1.4.5.
Speaking of time, we have an update on timing for everyone. As we started to check off what work remained on the update, we realized that we would really have been remiss to not cover off some long-standing needs for new music. That's right, Terrarians, the 1.4.5 update will contain several new music tracks by our favorite composer, Scott Lloyd Shelly! How many exactly is still a bit to-be-determined, but we are anticipating at least 5 and maybe more! Want to check one of them out? Of course you do!
So, all that said, we mentioned an impact on timing - the production of all of these new tracks takes a good amount of time in composition, review, editing, etc. We are not going to rush Scott while he works on the latest in a long line of Terraria musical masterpieces. So, that means the update is going to take a bit longer to come out than we had originally anticipated. Now, before anyone gets too upset... the team realized that if we are having to wait on this music anyway, why not just keep the update development moving on our end and add even more goodies?!
What all will that entail? Well you will have to wait and see - but we have some pretty substantial ideas. How much we can get done will depend on how long the music takes. We are pretty confident everyone will be very happy with what we have in store and will feel like this was extra time well-spent. Can't show you too much too soon, though, so it will all be a mystery for now.
Oh, who are we kidding, you knew we were going to show something new. Are we sure it is safe to sit on this Aetherium Furniture, much less build a whole house using it?!
Anyway, we expect this extension to be in the scope of a few months at least - we will give a timeline as we get closer. In the meantime, rest assured that everyone will get a LOT more out of 1.4.5 than you ever expected.

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM
Hello everyone!
This month has flown by - with the release of 1.4.4 tModLoader at the start of August came a whole batch of mod updates and hot fixes. We hope you've been enjoying the 1.4.4 era of tModLoader! We are quite happy with how well the transition went from 1.4.3 to 1.4.4 tModLoader - it was so smooth we could call it a success! That said, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github[github.com] or reach out to us at our Discord[discord.com].
As August comes to an end, we feel we are finally nearing cruising altitude and a return to normal scheduled updates. We have some exciting changes coming in September - including a Mod Browser Revamp... and still more improvements we've been wanting to make on the horizon while we set ourselves up for the future.
As always, we kindly request that we all respect modders' time and not hassle them about porting to 1.4.4. We are greatly impressed at seeing over 85% of all mods by subscriber count have ported to 1.4.4, but we continue to ask to please be respectful of those that have not. Thank you for your understanding.
TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP
The TML Steam Workshop has over 5000 mods already! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!
WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?
Now that 1.4.4 release is behind us, we are once again casting our eyes towards the future - not only getting ready for 1.4.5 (whenever that happens to arrive), but also building a stronger foundation for that future.
As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader[github.com] (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[github.com] branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader[github.com])
PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
Over on the Console/Mobile front, we continue to keep pace as best we can with the PC side of the house. It is a different sort of challenge from the old days of playing "catch up", and one we rather enjoy. Being able to bring new Terraria content to everyone all at the same time remains a primary goal!
Speaking of, how about a fresh never before seen Terraria 1.4.5 spoiler?

TERRARIA x MADRINAS COLLABORATION
A few months ago, Madrinas Coffee[madrinascoffee.com] reached out to the Re-Logic team to create some amazing coffees from the world of Terraria.

The Terraria Team has been grinding through these coffees everyday and we hope you’ll enjoy them too!

[sanshee.com]TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATES
TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME DESIGNER DIARYHere we are again with the latest "Designer Diary" entry from the lead designer for Terraria: the Board Game - Chris Kingsworth. Let's see what he and the Paper Fort team have been up to over the last month!
---
Hello Terrarians!
Chris here, game developer at Paper Fort Games. I’m back with the next installment of the Terraria: The Board Game designer diary. This month’s topics; how can we capture the sandbox feeling of Terraria on the tabletop, and what can we offer that can only be achieved in the physical world? Enjoy!
Freedom to Choose
Terraria is a game all about choice. If you want to run all the way to the ocean, you can (we’ve all done it!). Want to build a Hellevator? Go for it. Fancy mining every block in the world, or building beautiful things? No problem! With this in mind, it wouldn’t be right to design a board game that dictates exactly what you have to do. Instead, you’ll have control over how you play.
You’ll be able to choose the objectives for each playthrough, all of which reflect achievements in the digital game. Complete lots of easy-to-achieve tasks, like surviving your first night or building your first house, or defeat bosses for big points and fantastic loot! Alternatively, aim somewhere in the middle; spawn every NPC or mine every block within a biome.
On your turn, freedom of choice will be reinforced by a flexible action point system. This isn’t a game where cards dictate exactly what you have to do. Using your starting equipment, you’ll be able to dig, chop and stab. Want to run over to that tree, chop it down, zip over to a slime and stab it? If you’ve got the action points to do it, you can! You can spend your points how you like; whether that’s on a single endeavour or a variety of tasks. As you upgrade your equipment, the efficiency of your action points will increase. Perhaps you’ve forged an iron axe to replace your copper one; now you can dig more quickly and mine more efficiently.
Modular Miniatures and the ‘Advent Calendar’
We realize that we’re asking you to play a board game when you have the digital game at your fingertips, so let’s talk about things we can do in the physical world that aren’t achievable digitally. One of the reasons we hope you’re excited to play Terraria: The Board Game is the boss ‘advent calendar’.
Bosses are a big event in the videogame and we want to mirror that in the tabletop game. In the box you’ll find a number of doors. Each door will display spawn criteria for a different boss. For example, each time you kill a slime, you’ll be a step closer to the appearance of King Slime. When you hit the spawn threshold, you’ll open the door and find a modular boss miniature, with rules for an epic boss battle. As you fight, you’ll remove pieces of the miniature to track boss damage and reflect other status effects.
Here’s an example of one of these miniatures; our WIP sculpt for the Wall of Flesh:
We’re really looking forward to sharing more of these with you!
Next Month
As I mentioned last month, we’re passionate about Terraria and its players. We’re here to do the best we can and we want to bring you along for the journey by keeping you updated on what we’re doing; that’s one of the aims of the designer diary. In the next instalment, I’ll talk about world generation and deckbuilding in Terraria: The Board Game.

Greetings, Terrarians!
We are very excited to be able to at long last share a very unique partnership that has been in the works for some time now - Terraria x Madrinas! That's right, we have been working hand-in-hand with our good friends over at Madrinas to create some unique coffee flavors that we hope everyone will really enjoy! It has been a lot of fun trying out flavors and bouncing ideas off of each other, and we are pretty pleased with how it all turned out. Besides, who doesn't need some extra fuel for those late night (or early morning) Terraria sessions? That one more cave beckons!
If you are not familiar with Madrinas, they are a well-known coffee company focused on providing innovative new coffee flavors while using only all-natural ingredients. From Whole Bean to Cold Brew, they aim to have a coffee out there that is right for everyone.
All in all, we have two cool flavors to share with you here: one based on everyone's favorite 500 year old nature spirit, the Dryad - and the other seeks to answer the age old question of what exactly does a Pigron taste like? The team at Madrinas has also put together a really cool collector's box set that has both flavors and some other goodies as well. So without further ado, grab your favorite mug or shaker cup and let's dive in to Terraria x Madrinas!
As always, simply click on a product image to head on over to purchase that item, and we have listed each of these in our very own Merchandise Hub at Terraria.org/Store.
[madrinas.coffee]TERRARIA x MADRINAS LIMITED EDITION COLLECTOR'S BOX SET
[madrinas.coffee]This is the cornerstone of the Madrinas x Terraria collaboration! Included in this amazing Box Set are both of the new coffee flavors: the Dryad's Wild Honey Cold Brew and Pigron's Maple Bacon Whole Bean. Inside the box you will also find a Terraria shaker bottle (perfect for mixing up that Wild Honey Cold Brew) and a Journey's End inspired koozie. This is the one to pick up if you want to give all of what Madrinas x Terraria has to offer a try! This will be a limited edition, so be sure that you get yours before it's too late.
[madrinas.coffee]DRYAD-INSPIRED: WILD HONEY COLD BREW
[madrinas.coffee]Direct from the jungles of Terraria, and blessed by the Dryad herself, the Madrinas x Terraria Wild Honey cold brew will keep you on your toes as you delve ever-deeper in search of the Jungle Temple or the beautiful-but-deadly Plantera. This perfect flavor pairing of honey and a hint of lavender will arrive ready-to-craft it at home in less than a minute! All you need is a shaker cup.
[madrinas.coffee]PIGRON'S VERY OWN: MAPLE BACON WHOLE BEAN
From the lair of the iconic Pigron itself comes the new Madrinas x Terraria Maple Bacon Flavored Whole Bean Coffee! Its perfect combo of sweet and salty notes with a smoky smooth finish will help you keep your wits about you as you battle half-pig/half-dragons or whatever else might come your way!
As always, we cannot thank everyone enough for their support, we hope that you will find these latest Terraria products as amazing as we do and pick some up for yourself! Be sure to check out the cool products we launched last Friday from Eighty Sixed[forums.terraria.org] as well!]]>
Greetings Terrarians!
Whew, what a month July has been! We saw the great Tree vs Axe War of the Terrarians take place on Terraria Community Forums as well as all over social media? Which side did you wind up supporting? The good news is that things are back to being nice and peaceful again with the leaders of each side reaching a spruce to end hostilities. The even better news is that we will all get to enjoy a couple of new items as a result! We cannot wait to share what we have in mind there when the time comes. Beyond that, we are hammering out the final bits and going through one of our first team Terraria playthroughs in quite a while. These are always fantastic to do near the end of update development for balance, QA, and even the occasional new idea. We know that everyone really wants a launch date window, but we still are not quite ready to share that at this time. Soon though, hopefully!
Let's dive headlong into July's happenings and hints of what is to come in August and beyond!
PC - RE-LOGIC
TERRARIA 1.4.5 - SEEDS, SEEDS EVERYWHERE
The team has started the customary group full playthrough that accompanies the end stages of development. These are very important (and fun) sessions, where we unearth any remaining pesky bugs, find anything that feels unbalanced or not fun, and - quite often - come up with some fun new ideas.
We have been taking the time to listen to fan requests as well - and one we have heard pretty frequently is a way to see which worlds which characters have visited previously as a method to help know which character goes with which world(s). Players and worlds are also now sorted by most recently played.
The team is also having fun diving into the potential of World Seed combinations. With 128 different possible seed combinations, the team has let its creativity run wild by adding a whole bunch of fun combo effects - some big and some small. This includes at least 2 (and maybe more to come) combos that will substantially change the gameplay experience in unexpected ways. Want an example? Of course you do!
You've seen your last sunrise - that must suck!

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM
Hello everyone!
We are excited to announce that 1.4.4 tModLoader will be available starting August 1st as tModLoader's default experience! After a lot of testing and changes, we are ready to release this next big version of tModLoader. We have seen significant uptake within the modding community on our 1.4.4-preview Beta, and are looking forward to a smooth transition to the next big stage. A lot of hard work went into this, so a big thank you to everyone involved.
Likewise, although 1.4.4 is released from our end, there will still be some mods not yet released on 1.4.4. This may include some popular mods. We anticipate several of these noteworthy mods to release within the few days to follow, and ask for your patience as modders publish their work.
For more information on the Jump to 1.4.4 and all that's happening around it, you can read more in our big announcement from earlier this month: tModLoader 1.4.4 Transition Plan
We are excited to see our modding community is already more than half way to our 60% porting effort target! As a reminder, we are waiting to changeover tModLoader to 1.4.4 as the default option until the majority of mods have posted a 1.4.4 version.
Please note that 1.4.4 will NOT replace 1.4.3. 1.4.3 will continue to be available in full through Steam Beta options, just as 1.3 is today.
As always, we kindly request that we all respect modders' time and not hassle them about porting to 1.4.4. Please be respectful as we all wrap up this big jump forward. Please stay tuned, and thank you for your patience. Once again, we are excited to bring tModLoader to 1.4.4 age! We hope you enjoy this next era of modding, and several improvements we've made during the journey.

Final preparations for the 1.4.4 release and the subsequent bugfixing and tweaking that will be needed is taking up all of our time for now!

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
Over on the Console/Mobile front, we are adding content just as fast as the PC side can put it out! We thought we would put together this fun little collage/montage of a recent testing session where we were trying out the new Velociraptor transformation.
Of course, we are also still exploring the handful of issues that remain for some players from the previous technical update:
KNOWN ISSUES WITH FIXES UNDERWAY
- Multiplayer not working for some users on Xbox - the latest backend updates seem to have cleared this up for almost everyone. The only exception seems to be players with bad connections with each other. We are seeing if we can force the system to allow connection anyway, but not sure if this is possible.
- Issue where the game freezes suddenly for PS4 users - We have made some progress with replication of situations where this is still occurring. Hoping to get this sorted soon.
- Old save data not showing anymore for some Xbox users - We have had to travel way back in time to get to the bottom of this issue. Progress is being made, but we do not yet have a line on a fix.
Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES
TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATES
TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME DESIGNER DIARY
This month, we will share the first in what will be several "Designer Diary" entries from the lead designer for Terraria: the Board Game - Chris Kingsworth. We hope you enjoy these behind-the-scenes candid thoughts as we move ever closer to making this a reality!
Hello Terrarians!
I’m Chris, game developer at Paper Fort Games. As you’ve probably heard, Re-Logic recently announced a collaboration between our studios to create Terraria: The Board Game. The Re-Logic team have kindly given me the opportunity to write a designer diary as part of State of the Game, so let’s dive into the first instalment!
We announced Terraria: The Board Game on 1st June, to coincide with the UK Game Expo (UKGE) held at the NEC in Birmingham. I was excited and anxious in equal measure; Terraria is a video game beloved to literally millions of people, so it’s natural that some people’s reaction would be ‘why?’. Some players might be worried about a soulless tabletop rehash of another videogame IP, but I want to reassure you that we’re here to do the best job we can for you, the fans. We care about getting it right. It was wonderful seeing so many of you get excited about the chance to play Terraria in physical form; our aim is for the board game to be an extension of the incredible Terraria universe, and a chance for new and veteran players alike to experience the game in a new way.
If you heard me talk about the game at UKGE, hopefully I was able to convey how passionate we are about doing a great job. Before I even started designing the board game, we’ve spent hundreds of hours of research by playing, trawling the wiki, watching playthrough videos and reading forum discussions to understand the game and the community. We’re making a Terraria board game, not a board game with a Terraria theme.
It was fantastic to meet so many of you at the convention. Hundreds of Terrarians came by to find out about the board game; some who’ve played a few of hours, others who’ve logged thousands. There were kids with their parents, groups of friends and players that have been following the game since day one. One fan on holiday from the US heard the announcement and came to UKGE just to see the game, and Chippy came by for a chat and to ask some questions from the community. It was an amazing weekend, and reinforced how important Terraria is to so many people.
Like Re-Logic, we’re a small indie team, and we share the same game design ethos. We’re aiming for crowdfunding towards the end of the year, but we’re not going to rush. We’re going to take the time to get it right, playtest extensively, listen to feedback and give it the polish that it deserves. Everything that we do will be approved by Re-Logic, to ensure that we are faithful to their vision and respectful to the amazing community that they’ve built.
We’re passionate about the game and its players. We’re here to do the best we can and we want to bring you along for the journey by keeping you updated on what we’re doing; that’s one of the aims of the designer diary. In the next instalment, I’ll talk about the core aims of the tabletop game’s design; how we’re attempting to capture the sandbox feeling of Terraria and the unique things we are adding that can only be achieved in the physical world.
Until then, I’ll leave you with my 2 favourite quotes from fans during the launch: “…Terraria 2 is so light on RAM it doesn’t even need a PC…” and “…Can’t wait to speedrun this…”; these definitely made me laugh!

OTHER COMMUNITY NEWS
TREE VS AXE - WHICH SIDE WERE YOU ON?
Throughout July, the Terraria community partook in a a friendly "war" between the Axes and the Trees.
As he often does, Chippy put together a great summary of some of the best of the antics. The two sides have since reached a truce, with new items being added to the 1.4.5 update to appease both sides. What will those be and what will they look like/do? You will have to wait and find out!
TERRARIA ON R/PLACE 2023
Perhaps even more moving is that the Community has chosen to make this a fitting tribute to our fallen colleague and brother, Leinfors. To give you a taste of what everyone has created:
You may be seeing this arrive as a painting in Terraria update near you!
We also saw Terraria appear in several other spots!
If you are not familiar with r/place, it is intended to be a global community blank canvas where people place one pixel at a time, creating works of art (or not). Of course, nothing is stopping others from overwriting or vandalizing your piece... so defending your turf is also key. That our community was able to create and defend all of these amazing pieces is a testament to your passion and dedication for all things Terraria!

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 hope everyone is enjoying the summer months and getting some much-needed time in the sun. Don't worry, Terraria will be waiting for you when you come in from the heat! We are closing in on the last stages of 1.4.5 development, and we hope that we will be able to have the latest version of Terraria in everyone's hands soon. Beyond that, we have seen several cool things come out lately - from the new minifigures to the Terraria Board Game announcement - and we expect to have a few more fun bits to share in the coming months. We love seeing cool stuff get made that expands and expresses the world of Terraria in different ways, and we hope that you are as well.
With all that said, let's get in to the latest and greatest surrounding all things Terraria!
PC - RE-LOGIC
TERRARIA 1.4.5 - ENTERING THE (HOPEFULLY) FINAL STRETCH
We really enjoyed everyone's detective work on last month's spoiler. You all went way beyond even what we have come to know and love about the community in regards to the dissection of spoilers! The team is in the final push towards the end of content additions and turning a more careful eye towards fixes and balance for the remainder of 1.4.5's development cycle. This phase is always tough to predict timing-wise, as it really depends on how many issues we find and how hard they are to address. That said, we do not think it will be much longer until we will be able to provide a more definitive time window.
Of course, if you don't have Terraria yet - or you know someone who doesn't - there is no better time than right now to pick up a copy while Terraria is 50% off during the Steam Summer Sale!
Click the image above to head to our Steam Store Page!
That said, we would be remiss if we didn't share some of the things that we worked on this past month... so enjoy!
Some changes to the character creation screen shared on r/terraria a week or so ago - in case you missed it. We are already making a few tweaks to this coming out of feedback from that post, but hopefully this will be a nice change for everyone that will allow you to make your character even more your own!
Everyone loves World Seeds right? Well, it is our guess that everyone does - except that a ton of folks who are not immersed in our news posts or the wiki might have no idea they even exist. So, we gave them their own menu to up the accessibility.
Know what else would be cool? If you could combine special World Seeds. What if some of those combinations might also have special hidden effects?
Oh, and the sun effects are a work in progress. Just saying.

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM
Hello everyone!
1.4.4 Preview continues to be live on Steam for modders to port with. We strongly encourage all modders to update their mods and post the updates to Steam in a timely fashion. For more information on accessing the Preview build, please check out tModLoader guide for players[github.com]
We are excited to see our modding community is already more than half way to our 60% porting effort target! As a reminder, we are waiting to changeover tModLoader to 1.4.4 as the default option until the majority of mods have posted a 1.4.4 version.
Please note that 1.4.4 will NOT replace 1.4.3. 1.4.3 will continue to be available in full through Steam Beta options, just as 1.3 is today.
As always, we kindly request that we all respect modders' time and not hassle them about porting to 1.4.4. Please be respectful as we all wrap up this big jump forward Please stay tuned, and thank you for your patience.
TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP
The TML Steam Workshop has over 5000 mods already! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!
WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?
Finally, we are deep in groundwork conversations and changes to support offering 1.4.4 broadly. We will announce some of these details in the coming weeks in our Discord and on Steam. You will want to stay tuned for that!
As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader[github.com] (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[github.com] branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader[github.com])
PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
Over on the Console/Mobile front, we remain hard at work keeping pace with the PC side while doing the best we can to track down any remaining bugs/fixes from the last update. We hope that the patches we sent out already have helped out - but we are still taking and reading reports, so keep the information coming. As a reminder, this is our current focus list for any additional fixes:KNOWN ISSUES WITH FIXES UNDERWAY
- Multiplayer not working for some users on Xbox - the latest backend updates seem to have cleared this up for almost everyone. The only exception seems to be players with bad connections with each other. We are seeing if we can force the system to allow connection anyway, but not sure if this is possible.
- Issue where the game freezes suddenly for PS4 users - We are working on a hotfix for PS4 with a couple of reported crashes being fixed. This should be available shortly. We're still looking at the PS4 Freezes people are experiencing although we haven't pinned it down, we're looking at the water quality as a possible culprit, if you're having trouble with freezing, try turning down the water quality setting while we continue to investigate as a few players have mentioned this has helped.
- Old save data not showing anymore for some Xbox users - we are still exploring this. We are almost certain that the data is not lost, just not accessible for some reason. We are still working to replicate this internally, so hang in there!
Now, we haven't had a Mobile spoiler in a while - so let's rectify that now! First of all, the changes to Character Creation have made their way to Console and Mobile...
But wait, there's more! Last month, the PC side showed off the icon images of a few whips. Well, why don't we look at a couple of those in action? Introducing the Soulscourge and Vasculash!
Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES
TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATES
In case you missed it, several Terrarians got a unique opportunity to stop by the UK Games Expo to check out the very early in-development version of Terraria: The Board Game last month! The lead designer from our friends at Paper Fort Games had a great time interacting with everyone and listening to your valuable feedback! All of that will be taken back and considered as we continue to evolve and polish what this board game can become.
We’ll be sharing more about Terraria: The Board Game with you via designer diaries in future State of the Game updates, but in the meantime, we have something quite terrifying to reveal…
The image above is an early 3D render of the Wall of Flesh miniature. We want Boss battles in the board game to feel like an event - just like they do in the digital game - so Bosses will spawn when you fulfill the criteria shown on doors of an advent calendar. Once spawned, you’ll open the door to reveal the miniature, then add it to the board. As you can see, Bosses are modular, with pieces that can be removed or manipulated in other ways to allow Boss stat tracking. We’ll be revealing more models over the coming months, so keep your eyes peeled!
If you haven't already, sign up here for the latest information!
TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME NEWS SIGN-UP LINK[www.backerkit.com]
In case you missed the big reveal, be sure to take a minute to read our post about Terraria - The Board Game, which contains details about timing, how it will be sold, and more!
TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME DETAILS
TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES
We finally have some timing around Book One and the rollout of the issues that will make up Book Two. We expect that Book One will be available sometime in early 2024 (long story short, we need to line up with retailers' desired timelines), while we will see the story continue with the release of Issue 5 and more later this year. Of course, that is all subject to production lead times and whatnot - but we are confident in the changes that we have made from the lessons learned during the initial rollout. We expect a much smoother and more predictable release this time around!
Speaking of folks that encountered those issues, we have chased down every report that the team knows about as of this point. There are a handful in process, but everyone should be taken care of as of now (or very soon). However, if you have any outstanding issues with your order, we do not want to miss you - please reach out to [email protected] immediately so that we can take care of this ASAP. Feel free to let us at Re-Logic know via [email protected] (we have been able to help several folks) if you are having any issues as well, but the 50amp email above should be the best way to sort out any stragglers out there!
The art team remains hard at work on Issue 5, and we expect to have our first draft soon! We have one last member of the Goblin Army to show off this month... and maybe we will be able to give a sneak peek at a former member of the Goblin Army next time. I wonder who that could be?
Goblin Sorcerers!

Greetings Terrarians!
Things are certainly heating up outside - but the team has been able to keep its cool by continuing to push ahead with Terraria 1.4.5! We have had some successful localization tests this month (more on that below), while our good friends at DR Studios released 1.4.4.9.2 and have been hard at work fixing a handful of bugs that have cropped up on Console. We have enjoyed watching your reactions to our two big reveals over the last two weeks - hopefully we will have more to come as the years moves on. For now, let's settle in, grab a cold drink, and catch up on the latest and greatest happenings in the world of Terraria!
PC - RE-LOGIC
TERRARIA - 1.4.5 PROGRESSING NICELY
Localization has been the name of the game in May. Bringing three new languages on board - alongside all-new character sets - always SOUNDS easy enough, but it is a pretty monumental task. Lots of checking within the UI for text overruns (which given how huge our game is, that's a tall order!) and so on. That said, we are in a pretty good place at least with the older text (still need to do all of 1.4.5, but that will come when we are done adding content to said update haha). As a matter of fact, let's check out a screen from the Korean localization now!
Getting this step done was always going to take a good amount of time, but with it behind us, the team is really looking into the finishing touches, being sure that we don't want to add anything else, bug fixing, and so on. Hoping to have a release window for you soon!

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM
Hello everyone!
Another month of hard work on tModLoader 1.4.4 has brought us ever-closer to being able to move this latest version over to the Live Branch. Of course, TML 1.4.4 Preview continues to be live on Steam for modders to port with. We strongly encourage all modders to update their mods and post the updates to Steam in a timely fashion. For more information on accessing the Preview build, please check out https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/wiki/tModLoader-guide-for-players#beta-branches
Looking forward, we are waiting to changeover tModLoader to 1.4.4 as the default option until the majority of mods have posted a 1.4.4 set of files to steam workshop. For effectiveness, we are considering that as when 'the total subscriber count of mods tagged 1.4.4 / total subscriber count of all mods' surpasses 60%. Please stay tuned to our Discord[discord.com] for full visibility.
As always, we kindly request that we all respect modders' time and not hassle them about porting to 1.4.4. Please be respectful as we all wrap up this big jump forward! More information will be made available on the transition to a default 1.4.4 tmodloader as we approach the target. Please stay tuned, and thank you for your patience.

The team at DR Studios is aware of a handful of bugs that players have encountered on Console since the release of Terraria 1.4.4.9.2.

Second, we wanted to share our full list of known issues so that everyone can know that their reports have been heard. Of course, we welcome any and all additional information that anyone can supply regarding these bugs - you never know what might be the key piece of evidence to break open the investigation!TERRARIA 1.4.4.9.3 Fixes Done

TERRARIA CHIBICHAN MINIFIGURES - PREORDERS UNDERWAY!
[terraria.shop]Last month, we revealed that our friends over at Terraria.Shop would be bringing the first lineup of Terraria minifigures to everyone very soon. Well, that time is now! To be clear, we expect these figures will be produced and ready to be in folks' hands sometime in Q3 of this year. At that time, we plan to have these as a readily-available product (with future series adding more enemies, NPCs, characters, etc to the lineup). However, we wanted to give everyone a chance to preorder now so that they could be sure to get theirs when the time comes!
For full details on how this will all work - including an exclusive free bonus figure for anyone that preorders - check out our post linked below!

We have even more fun things in store for everyone, but these are honestly REALLY cool, so we hope that everyone will enjoy them!
TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME REVEALED!
Last week, we shared the amazing news that Terraria will be coming to the world of board games in the near future. The great folks over at Paper Fort Games are hard at work already, with early prototypes already coming into focus. This board game implementation will expand the universe of Terraria by faithfully adapting and combining the digital game’s biome exploration, character progression, base building and epic combat with tabletop mechanisms - alongside a fresh new art style - to create a co-operative adventure that will resonate with both long-time fans and novice Terrarians.
To check out all of the details, be sure to take a minute to read our post about Terraria - The Board Game, which contains details about timing, how it will be sold, and more!
TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME DETAILS
TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES
The Book One collection, which we are preparing for shipment to retailers, is still in the works. One thing that we were asked for was a suitably-epic cover to encompass the story thus far. We rather like it.
Emails have been proactively sent out to folks that 50amp is aware of that have had issues with the receipt of anything from Issues 1-4. However, there may be some delivery situations where they are not aware that issues have occurred. If you have not received the earlier email and/or you are still having issues with your order, please reach out to [email protected] immediately so that we can take care of this ASAP. Feel free to let us at Re-Logic know via [email protected] (we have been able to help with a few orders over the last month!) if you are having any issues as well, but the 50amp email above should be the best way to sort out any stragglers out there!
We have completed the character sketch and script phase for Issue 5 - so now the hard work to pull all of that art together is underway. We are super excited to be able to share the next stage of Vale's Terraria journey with you all very soon. In the meantime, you can look forward to further spoilers along the way... like this one, the latest in our teasers for the Goblin Army!

Greetings Terrarians!
We are very excited to at long last be able to reveal that we are working with our good friends at Paper Fort Games on the official Terraria Board Game! As you can imagine, this is a huge project - and not one that we take lightly. This board game adaptation will expand the universe of Terraria by faithfully combining the digital game’s biome exploration, character progression, base building and epic combat with tabletop mechanisms - alongside a fresh new art style - to create a co-operative adventure that will resonate with both long-time fans and novice Terrarians!
"We are very excited to work with Re-Logic; as an indie design studio ourselves, we have deep respect for what such a small team have achieved, their commitment to making the best game possible and their dedication to the Terraria community. We can’t wait to bring the world of Terraria to the tabletop!" - Paper Fort Games
Terraria: The board Game box art.
Dig, fight, explore and build in this co-operative tabletop adventure for 1-4 intrepid Terrarians!
What fun details can YOU find in the new cover art?
So, now that we have your attention, what's the timeline and the plan for Terraria: the Board Game?
TIMELINE
We expect that Terraria: the Board Game will take a good amount of time to develop and polish in order to land on a fantastic final version. As such, we do not expect it to be available this year (for example). We will narrow down the window more once we get to the crowdfunding stage and we have a better sense for progress and scope to-date.Also, you can expect to see spoilers from time to time, as is tradition with Terraria!
PURCHASE & CROWDFUNDING
As is common in the Board Game space, this project will utilize crowdfunding to help ensure that the project can hit the scope and quality level that Terraria deserves. Paper Fort Games (and its sister company Stone Sword Games) have a great track record in this space with funding and bringing great games to the market. All of the details around this - timing, amounts, reward levels, etc. will be revealed in the months ahead.WHAT'S NEXT AND HOW DO YOU KEEP INFORMED
Early alpha prototype: Will be on show at UK Games Expo (UK Games Expo[www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk]), held at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, UK from Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th June 2023. You’ll find Paper Fort Games at stand 1-1025. We would love for any Terrarians in the area to stop by, check it out, and let us know what you think!We have also created a link for interested Terrarians to sign up to be sure that they always get the latest news on Terraria: the Board Game. We have shared this link below - so feel free to go ahead and sign up to be sure that you are in the know!

[terraria.shop]Greetings Terrarians!
As you may recall, we teased the Terraria Chibichan minifigures in last month's State of the Game... and we said at the time that more information would be coming up in May. Well, we are very pleased to announce that the awesome first series of these minifigures are now available for preorder over on https://terraria.shop/! We have all of the juicy details below, so read on to learn more!
TERRARIA CHIBICHAN MINIFIGURES
Terraria Chibichans will be released as series of 12 minifigures at a time, with one Rare figure (so, 13 total in each Series). ach figure is up to 3" tall and made of vinyl, with a unique and consistent art style that helps to look great together. You can head to the preorder page by clicking any image in this post or via the link below:
TERRARIA CHIBICANS WAVE ONE PREORDERS LINK
[terraria.shop]
[terraria.shop]These will be sold in blind box format - online for now, and hopefully at retailers in the future. We are also offering the ability to purchase the entire set of 12 at once, to allow fans to ensure that they can get them all if they want to with no repeats. The only exception is the Rare Figure - for this set, that is the Gold Goldfish - though anyone purchasing the set of 12 does have a chance that their Goldfish will be Gold!
All that said, what's the lineup for the first wave of figures?
[terraria.shop]PREORDERS & TIMELINES
We expect that these will ship out to customers sometime in September 2023. After that point, they will remain available on https://terraria.shop/ moving forward.All pre-orders will receive a free Gold Bunny minifigure (one per order) - these will be exclusive to the pre-order period as a thank you to the fans that pre-order any minifigures.
[terraria.shop]]]>Greetings Terrarians!
Can we just say that we are always so excited when Spring finally arrives? Everything turning green, the temperature outside finally making it pleasant to get outdoors - new life springing up everywhere. Sort of how it has felt on the Terraria teams as well, with everyone finding their stride again as we push towards the completion of the 1.4.5 update. Even so, it is hard not to look beyond that into the work in front of us to try and make crossplay a reality (no promises!) and whatever else lies ahead. This is a really exciting time for our team, and we hope that all of you are ready to embark on the journey ahead alongside us. However, that's a story for another State of the Game.
For now, let's get rolling on the latest and greatest Terraria news!
PC - RE-LOGIC
TERRARIA - 1.4.5 IS DRAWING EVER-CLOSER
The team has started to adjust to the new normal, and we have accomplished a lot over the past month towards getting Terraria 1.4.5 back on track. We are starting to get a more clear sense for what remains to finish and for when we might be able to get this out to everyone. No, that does not mean that we have a date to give you yet - unfortunately, QA and Balancing work is part of what remains to do... and that will be where we are most challenged in the new structure. Still, we hope that we can provide a time frame for 1.4.5 soon.
As for what the team has been working on, we have recently been laying the groundwork to add a few new languages to Terraria for PC - Japanese, Korean, and (potentially) Traditional Chinese. These are large playerbases that have had Terraria on other platforms, but have never had it localized to their native language. This will also be important for Crossplay (should we be successful in those efforts), we feel, to enable Terrarians in those countries to have a shared experience.
That said, is it spoiler time? Why, I believe it is!
A little while back, Redigit teased that a Shimmer Water Gun might be a thing...
Well, how about we show you this beauty in action for this month's spoiler? To be clear, the Shimmer Water Gun only transforms NPCs - for all other uses, you will have to seek out the Aether...
In case you missed it on Twitter a week or so ago, Crowno shared his revamps of Boss Trophies to go alongside the Banner revamps we showed last time!

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM
Hello everyone!
It has been a month since we released/announced the 1.4.4 tModLoader preview was ready for modders to start porting their mods - and what a month it has been! We are so pleased to report that the port to 1.4.4 is well underway for several major mods, and the feedback that modders and other early users have shared with us thus far has been invaluable towards fixing bugs and improving the features of TML 1.4.4. Once again, we encourage all modders to get their mods up to date so we can release tML 1.4.4 to players in a timely fashion, allowing players to dive right back into their favorite mods on day one.

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
Now that the development work on the technical updates is complete, the team at DR has shifted gears towards bringing 1.4.5 over to Console and Mobile platforms! The technical update (1.4.4.9.2) should be rolling out to everyone soon, so keep an eye out for that and let us know if you encounter any issues whatsoever.With that said, wish us luck on the Terraria 1.4.5 path... as with Labor of Love, our goal is to launch simultaneously alongside PC - hopefully with a GLOBAL simultaneous launch this time around. We may have some other surprises in store, but it is much too soon to know if those will work out so we will just leave you wondering for now.
So, keep an eye out for 1.4.4.9.2 and look forward to us sharing our progress as we catch up to what the Re-Logic team has already done for 1.4.5!
Oh yeah, and wish us luck as we get prepared to enter the wild world of Crossplay development soon.
Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES
COMING SOON: TERRARIA CHIBICHAN MINIFIGURES!
[terraria.shop]Our fantastic partners over at https://terraria.shop/ are at long last ready to announce that the first lineup of Terraria minifigures will be soon be available! This is a product line that the Re-Logic team has been looking forward to for some time. The old Terraria figures from back in the day were good in their way, but we are very excited about the look and style of these! We really feel that they capture the style of Terraria in a way that feels unique and authentic. We hope you agree!
Expect more details about the rollout of the first wave of Terraria Chibichans sometime next month! If you want to be sure not to miss the announcement, you can sign up for the mailing list at https://terraria.shop/as well.
This is the first of a lot of cool Terraria merch offerings that we have been teasing over the past few months. We are looking forward to sharing even more in the months ahead!
TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES
The Book One collection, which will be available later this year via book retailers is drawing ever-closer. More on this when we have details (working on a new cover for this as well!).
We are aware that some folks out there are still having issues with receipt of their Issues 1-4 orders. For everyone that has not yet received your shipment for Issues 1-4, you should be receiving an email from 50 Amp Productions soon. If you do not receive this email and you still have not received your package, please reach out to [email protected] immediately so that we can take care of this ASAP. Feel free to let us at Re-Logic know ([email protected] is the best way to be sure it is seen) if you are having any issues as well, but the 50amp email above should be the best way to sort out any stragglers out there!
In addition, the 50amp team is doing a full review of fulfillment processes to ensure that a repeat of this does not occur with any future issues.
We have a final script for Issue 5, so work on translating that over into art can begin in earnest. Continuing in our line of teaser images... here is a peek at another member of the fearsome Goblin Army, the Goblin Peon!

Greetings Terrarians!
March already - Spring is nearly here! We will be glad for it and the chance to enjoy some warmer weather and the "greening up" of the outdoors. Fresh air is never a bad thing! It has been quite a challenging month for our entire team since the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Jason "Leinfors" Parker, at the end of February. The team has had a lot to sort through on this - but we are back up and running. It may still take some time to fully figure out the best ways of working moving forward, but we feel like we at least have a handle on things well enough to get 1.4.5 back on the road to completion. Thank you all again for your love and support, it means more than we can say.
Let's get into the latest then, shall we?
PC - RE-LOGIC
TERRARIA - 1.4.5 SEEING PROGRESS AGAIN
It has been quite a challenging month for our entire team since the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Jason "Leinfors" Parker, at the end of February. Beyond the emotional side of things, we have had quite a bit to unravel in terms of ways of working, figuring out how to best carry on what he was working on, etc. We are still in the midst of that process, but the team is up and running again - and we cannot thank you all enough for your outpouring of love and support during this extremely difficult time.
We feel like we have a decent handle on how best to proceed at this point - definitely enough so that we can progress towards the completion of 1.4.5. After a couple of weeks off to mourn and gather ourselves, the team has been hard at work pulling together an update that we hope will make everyone happy. Thus far, we haven't had a chance to show anything off, but let's end that streak with this month's SOTG!
Just a little taste for now - revamped banners from the amazingly-talented Crowno!

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM
Hello everyone!
We are very happy to share that 1.4.4 is ready for modders to start porting mods! To set expectations, the preview is in an early access state, there are still several bugs to fix, and mods may break periodically as we make necessary changes in response to modder feedback, but we encourage everyone out there to start the process of porting your mods over to 1.4.4 if you have not already.
tML 1.4.4 is not yet what we would consider player-ready, to be clear, but it is very ready for modders to begin their work!
In addition, there have been multiple major changes in the tML engine, to support better localization, performance and cross-mod compatibility. These improvements will make for a much better tML experience both now and in the future. We know that everyone is excited to see their favorite mods make it over to 1.4.4, but remember to please be patient with modders as they port, adapting to the new systems will take time and many modders may be busy with school/work/family!
TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP
The TML Steam Workshop has over 4200 mods already! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!
WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?
Pushing closer and closer to a player-ready 1.4.4 version of tML... and then getting ready for whatever 1.4.5 has in store!
As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader[github.com] (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[github.com] branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader[github.com])
PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
The team at DR is also beyond saddened by the passing of Leinfors. He has been an integral part in the testing and improvements on Console and Mobile for years - since our taking over the project and long before that. His impact is greatly appreciated and will be sorely missed.While the Re-Logic folks remain hard at work with getting 1.4.5 up to the point where we can begin our porting work in earnest (don't worry, we will catch up quickly!), we have taken the opportunity to conduct some backend technical work in order to prepare for the future (and crossplay). Of course, this is not always the most exciting kind of stuff to talk about - but it is necessary to keep the game's foundations strong, and the timing was perfect given that we needed to wait a bit for 1.4.5 to progress before we could get fully involved.
What is in this technical update?
1.4.4.9.2 Change Log
Changes and additions- Improved the way backgrounds zoom in and out
- Massive internal systems upgrade in preparation for crossplay, bringing the latest APIs and a huge rework of the Xbox backend... Hold on to your butts!
Fixes
- Fixed an issue where the game would crash after creating two small worlds consecutively
- Fixed an issue where the Aether Monolith was not giving off light
- Fixed an issue where the seaweed in ocean caverns would not be visible
- Fixed an issue where some iOS users were unable to host Multiplayer sessions
- Fixed an issue where vanity accessories would disappear from the player selection screen when exiting a world immediately after death
Our Console & Mobile friends will be seeing this update soon, as it is almost ready for submission to first parties. We are at work now on a similar technical-side update for Mobile, which we expect to wrap up in the next few weeks. At that point, we will turn our full attention towards getting 1.4.5 on to Console and Mobile with our goal as before being a simultaneous launch with PC.
...and then, we prepare to work on entering the crossplay dimension. We are so excited to see what this work will hold!
Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES
LOTS OF COOL NEW STUFF COMING YOUR WAY IN 2023!
We came so close to having some pretty cool things to show off... but we feel it is best to wait one more month. So, we should have some new stuff to showcase to everyone next month, if all goes to plan. We think you are going to be really excited about some of what is in store.
TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES
The team is hard at work on putting together the full Book One package for retailers (Issues 1-4 in one book plus some bonus goodies). We expect that to be available in the second half of 2023.
If you have not yet received your shipment for Issues 1-4, please reach out to help@50ampproductions immediately so that we can take care of this ASAP. Feel free to let us know if you are having any issues as well, but the email above should be the best way to sort out any stragglers out there!
Work continues on Book Two's script and character development. Here's a quick sneak peek into that process - the concept/character sketch for a couple of Goblin Thieves. We will leave you to speculate about what that may mean for at least part of what is to come in Book Two.

THE TERRARIA COMMUNITY REMEMBERS LEINFORS
We saw so many amazing tributes to Jason over the past month, we felt like we would be remiss if we did not share a few of them with everyone. Know that we appreciated EVERY single tribute and kind message that anyone sent along. Truly, we have the best community of fans - your love picked us up when we were at our lowest point.

LEINFORS MEMORIAL SERVER
The Leinfors memorial server was a community initiative hosted by Nescre, from DR Studios, from February 23 until March 26. The primary goal of the server was to provide users an opportunity to commemorate Leinfors, whose tireless commitment to this game and love for its community touched the lives of millions. On the server there were well over 40 builds made, each honoring Leinfors in their own unique way. In addition to this, many heartfelt messages were left by players, paying respects to or sharing memories of their interactions with Leinfors. The final product of this world serves as a celebration of the irreplaceable player-developer rapport Leinfors formed with our community, both through his friendliness and tireless dedication to his craft.
Leinfors family played an active role in the memorial server and all Terraria staff can’t express enough how appreciative we are of everyone that contributed. Whether you built something, or simply left a message, your willingness to help commemorate him has meant a lot.
If you'd like to download a copy of the world, you can find it on Steam Workshop here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2953301895
Below are screenshots of a few builds people made on the server.
This is the snow pylon cabin, built by Stardust#8145. It was created after finding out that Leinfors really liked the snowstorm aesthetic of the snow biome.
This is the cavern pylon, built by Chronostasis#9117. Featuring a purple crystalline aesthetic, and including references to the Empress of Light and Leinfors’ shampoo, this build serves as an expansive and touching tribute.
This is the message board. The cloud and pillars were made by Nescre#0001, while the beautiful pixel art above it was made by Hallow Ice#2713. It served as the primary space for players to leave messages for Leinfors.
This is the Shimmer Sky Lake, built by Leinfors’ brother Aurailen#3333. Featuring shimmer instead of water, a crystalline aesthetic, and a heartfelt message at its center, it is a memorial which effectively encapsulates & celebrates his legacy.
This is the Temple of Leinfors, made by Lunautical#8819. A very clever combination of blocks, actuators, and walls were used to achieve the 3D effect in this build!
This is the “Palm of Lein’s Hand”, made by Hallow Ice#2713. A great deal of consideration was put into the specific blocks chosen, leading to an incredibly detailed shading job!
This is the heaven monument. It was contributed to by a variety of builders, including Nescre#0001, “Moon Lord”, and DuneX22#5256. It takes a regular sky island and completely repurposes it, containing mannequins of Leinfors’ coworkers as well as a cloud where he resides.
This is LeinTower, built by Adrian Delta Supdog#4063. Included within this massive build is a vault, a hot springs pool, as well as a room containing Leinfors’ favorite foods.
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!
Happy 2023 to you all - we hope it will be an amazing year for you and for Terraria! The team is back in action after a well-needed break over the month of December (which is why we had no State of the Game to provide for that month) - and work on Terraria 1.4.5 is in full swing. As you can imagine, most of the new stuff we have planned for this update is not quite ready to be shown. However, we have been able to provide a tidbit or two that we hope you will enjoy and that will increase your anticipation for this latest update. 2023 is going to be quite the year for Terraria, based on what is in our plans. Hopefully, it will go down as the year of Terraria Crossplay, amongst other things. As always, we enter this new year energized and empowered by your amazing support. We cannot wait until you can see what is in store.
Here's to another fantastic year of Terraria!
PC - RE-LOGIC
TERRARIA - 1.4.5 IS UNDERWAY!
As you may have heard, the team finished off the needed hotfixes for the Labor of Love update in November, and it seemed like a great time for the team to take a little break to spend time with friends and family in order to recharge our collective batteries. Mission accomplished on that front, and we are already hard at work with the next Terraria update that we teased just before we left for the year in 2022. (If you missed it, check that out HERE)
Most of the first few weeks of 2023 have been spent in planning out the scope of the 1.4.5 update and getting a few things rolling. As a result, we do not have a ton to showcase at this stage... but rest assured that when we have spoilers to share, we will do so. You know we won't be able to help ourselves!
We hope that at least gives you a little glimpse into what we have in store for 1.4.5. To be sure, there will be plenty more to share as development carries on. For now, here's to 2023 starting off with a bang!

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM
Hello everyone!
We've completed our localization rework for 1.4.4 and we are very excited to have modders using this new system soon. As always, we strive to improve the modloader with large amounts of bugfixes and features. This month saw some notable changes such as family share usability, speed improvements when publishing mods, tooltip fixes, and a whole host of changes to allow mods to function better.
With the localization overhaul completed, we are getting close to having a testing build ready. Our rough plans with the test build will be to put it on our Preview beta and give modders up to 2 months to play with it, update their mods, and provide feedback on bugs. If all goes perfectly, we hope to have this test build available before the end of February.

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
The team at DR Studios was also able to enjoy a relaxing break over the holidays, after bringing everyone up to content parity once again by the end of 2022! It is so exciting to be able to do a sync launch and then push through all of the needed fixes by year-end and to have all Terrarians together.Of course, we cannot begin work on 1.4.5 until there is actually content in 1.4.5 to move over... so we have started off the new year by working to upgrade the core engine and software library versions in preparation for the release of cross play. This ensures that we have a stable foundation for the years ahead. In addition to that, we are fixing as many bugs as possible along the way - so please continue posting them in the forums for us to look into and fix!
Our plan is to get all of this Console/Mobile specific work done in parallel to 1.4.5 and then dive right into 1.4.5 and once again launch alongside PC. After that, we will be fully focused on solving the technical and other challenges of Crossplay! Wish us luck!
Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

LOTS OF COOL NEW STUFF COMING YOUR WAY IN 2023!
It has been a ton of fun to keep innovating and bringing out cool new Terraria merch for everyone to enjoy. We also love having it all over our respective offices, homes, etc. 2023 will be no exception, as we will at long last be able to roll out some amazing pieces that we have been working on for some time.The time is not QUITE right to share any of this... but stay tuned for what is to come.
In the meantime, all Town Slime Plush and the Cultist Hoodie should be back in stock this week at https://terraria.shop/ after the Holiday rush sold them out!
TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES - FINAL SHIPMENTS FROM BOOK ONE SHOULD ALL BE EN ROUTE!
After some hiccups late in 2022 - which caused the shipments of Issues 3&4 (as well as Issues 1-4 bundles as a result) to be delayed into the distribution centers for 50 Amp - we are happy to share that all of these shipments are on their way. Be on the lookout for your package - some may arrive even before the tracking numbers do for you (long story short, they have to enter tracking numbers to send to you by hand, and they wanted to get the boxes out first and then worry about that after). Anyone with an active order should have received an email with this information over the past week or so.
So, if you ordered Issues of the Terraria Graphic Novel, keep an eye on your mailbox (unless you bundled Issues 1-4 together... in which case, you have to wait a bit longer)! If you would like to check on the status of your particular order - or ask any other questions - feel free to contact 50 Amp at [email protected].

Greetings Terrarians!
Thanksgiving is here, and this is always a great time for our team to reflect on the earlier parts of the year as a reminder of just how blessed we are to have such amazing fans and for the opportunity to do what we do each and every day. This feeling is perhaps stronger this year than in the past, owing to the Labor of Love update - how it came about, how we built it, and your reactions since it was released. Starting 2022 with a Steam Award that you all voted to give us, being inspired by that to make a truly fan-focused update, and then interacting so much with the community to share ideas... what a year it has been! We know we say it all the time, but we are truly thankful for all of you out there. You make this fun and worthwhile, even after all this time. Heading into 2023, we are already looking forward to what Terraria 1.4.5 will have in store for everyone - and we hope you are as well. Enjoy the Holidays, Terrarians, and thank you so much for being who you are and for all of your support for our team!

TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE FIXES COMPLETE
Another month, another set of hotfixes for Labor of Love! You all have been really on the ball in getting us detailed and useful reports since launch. So much so that we have already released nine hotfixes since release! At this point, we feel like things are in a good place based on current reporting and our own observations. Thus, it is our plan to call 1.4.4.9 the "final" fixed version of Terraria 1.4.4 - meaning that the team can now turn its attention towards 1.4.5 and beyond.
Prior to that, however, the team will be taking a bit of time to spend time with friends, family, and probably a new game or three. Expect the news to be a bit light in the meantime... but we will be back at it soon enough with glimpses and spoilers into the latest and greatest in the world of Terraria!
Of course, feel free to keep those bug reports coming in. Be sure to use the Bug Report section on Terraria Community Forums for the best chance to be certain that your specific issue is not missed!

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM
Hello everyone!
We've just about caught up to vanilla Terraria, version-wise, and have tML running well in the 1.4.4 era. We are actively discussing with the modding community on when to make the swap over to this latest version as the default/live version of tML. In addition to the "coming soon" 1.4.4 compatibility, several contributors are actively working on ways to bring new features to modders, which we will delve into at a later date. As always, we are more than happy to have more hands on deck getting these features accessible - so don't be shy if you feel like you could contribute!
As we look towards closing out our initial porting efforts for tML 1.4.4, our eyes are turning back to improving tML with some long overdue localization upgrades on the horizon. Stay tuned for more information on upcoming overhauls!
TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP
The TML Steam Workshop has over 3200 mods already! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!
WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?
As we shared above, once we have successfully moved tML 1.4.4 over into the default/live space (along with any needed fixes), we will be turning our attention towards needed localization as well as some new potential features for modders. More to come on that once we get past the release of 1.4.4!
As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader[github.com] (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[github.com] branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader[github.com])
PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
The team at DR Studios was able to get Terraria 1.4.4.5 (along with some bonus fixes) out to everyone over the past month. We are also excited to reveal that we have submitted the second "wave" of Terraria fixes to first parties this morning. We expect this to roll out to players starting later today, as the various companies (Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, etc.) approve and release the update.This will bring Console and Mobile back in line with the PC version at v1.4.4.9! What a great way to end the year!
Mobile Dedicated Server users - you will need to update to the 1.4.4.9 Dedicated Server > HERE[terraria.org]
Crossplay planning is also in full swing, and we feel pretty good and confident with where we have netted out in those discussions. Of course, having a great plan is only one part of a much larger and longer effort to try and make Terraria Crossplay happen. Once we are able to get a better sense for if our plan will be acceptable on the Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo/Apple/Google side of things, we will try to share as much about our approach as possible - and maybe even tease you with a spoiler or two.
Oh, and a lot depends on what goes into 1.4.5 and when it arrives as well - we can't have Crossplay without everyone being on the same version, after all!
Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

[www.50ampproductions.com]So, if you ordered Issues of the Terraria Graphic Novel, keep an eye on your mailbox (unless you bundled Issues 1-4 together... in which case, you have to wait a bit longer)! The order windows for the initial shipments of Issues 1-4 may have passed, but you can still order your package of choice for delivery in the second shipment - likely in early 2023.

TERRARIA LABOR OF HALLOW'S EVE CONTEST FINALISTS AND COMMUNITY VOTING
All of the entries are in for the Labor of Hallow's Eve contest... and holy crap, you all blew us away with the sheer number and quality of the entries. It has taken us a few weeks to whittle down from nearly 1,000 entries to a list of semi-finalists, and then the Re-Logic team has taken the honors of picking our Category Winners. As a reminder, the winner of each category wins some fabulous prizes - and becomes a Finalist for the Grand Prize: a real-life Meowmere Sword!
The Grand Prize will be decided by Community Vote - so you will want to check out the thread below to see who won each Category and to see how to vote for the Ultimate Winner!

Thank you so much to everyone that entered. This was beyond any doubt the most brutally hard contest we have ever had to judge. Really, any number of the top 25 (or more) in some categories would have been legit winners... but, there can be only one!

Happy Holidays, Terrarians!
2022 has been a heck of a year in the world of Terraria. We started off the year with the fantastic news that you all had voted us the winners of the 2021 Labor of Love Steam Award, later to be recognized in amazing fashion with the Labor of Love update release on all platforms at once - a first for Terrarians! We also saw the release of the first four issues/Book One of the Terraria Graphic Novel series alongside a ton of other cool merch. Topping it off, we shared the news a bit ago that Terraria 1.4.5 is coming your way in 2023... hopefully with Crossplay to come sometime after that. As always, we are beyond thankful for the loyalty and support that you all have shown us over the years. We do not take it lightly, and we can only hope that you feel that we have and will continue to do that support justice.
All that said, the Holiday Season is indeed upon us - and coming with that is the usual Holiday Shopping season! We have really made concerted efforts over the past 3-4 years to build out a pretty extensive line of Terraria products and merchandise for fans to pick up and enjoy... or to give as gifts to the other Terrarians in their lives. There have been several new additions to those offerings this year, and we are going to reveal even more in this post - just in time for the Holidays. So, consider this your 2022 Terrarian Holiday Shopping Guide - and if you are so inclined, take a look at what all there is on offer and maybe pick up something cool for yourself or a loved one. Happy Holidays!

Greetings, Terrarians!
We are very happy to share that Terraria has made its way into the insanely good metroidvania hack-and-slash roguelite, Dead Cells! As always, we are thrilled to collaborate with our fellow top-notch indie developers out there.
If you want the full scoop behind the new Terraria content in Dead Cells, check out the details of their update (that landed today) below!
Click the Banner above to check out everything there is to know about the latest Dead Cells update!
Check out the trailer for today's Dead Cells update, including Terraria x Dead Cells!
Starfury wielded by The Guide in Dead Cells!
Wait a second, we hear you saying... shouldn't a crossover have content on both sides? Why indeed it should! That's why we are revealing today that Terraria 1.4.5 - at least part of which will include Terraria x Dead Cells content - will be coming your way in 2023!
Work on this update will begin in earnest when the team starts work in the new year - and after all of the needed hotfixes for 1.4.4 are completed. What all will Terraria 1.4.5 contain? Well, you will just have to wait and see when the time comes.
We hope this will help to get everyone hyped for the end of the year and what is to come in 2023 (which will also hopefully be the year of Crossplay... cross your fingers)!
Stay tuned for more information in the weeks and months ahead!]]>
Greetings Terrarians!
After a month off - I mean what would the "State of the Game" have been, "Labor of Love is out, go play it instead of reading this"? - we are back once again with the latest and greatest news from the world of Terraria. It has been a month of bug fixing for all of our teams and that work should continue for at least a bit longer. What's next after that? Well, we have already had a few meetings about Crossplay strategy... so that's a thing. Beyond that, you will have to wait and see what we might have in mind in regards to what direction our team decides to head. For now, let's head out for some spooktacular treats - and maybe only a few tricks. Happy Halloween!
PC - RE-LOGIC
TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE GETS FIXES (BOI)
On the Re-Logic side of development, we have been solely focused on hotfixes for the Labor of Love update. In less than a month, we have managed to get seven hotfixes out to everyone, and we are already underway with number eight. As always, we greatly appreciate your detailed reports and your patience as we sort out the inevitable bugs that crawl out of the woodwork with any update release.
While we certainly are keeping an eye out for bugs everywhere we can. Be sure to use the Bug Report section on Terraria Community Forums for the best chance to be certain that your specific issue is not missed!
TCF BUG REPORTING FOR TERRARIA[forums.terraria.org]
Alternatively, you can report things in the LOL launch thread or on the pinned discussions here on Steam.
STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS
Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!
Closing in on 68,000 packs and worlds so far, you are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out the Workshop yet. We wanted to get a Developer's Choice done before Labor of Love, but we ran short on time... so there is still a chance to get yours loaded for our review!
When the fixes are done, expect a period of focused attention on cleaning up some stuff. This keeps getting delayed by work on 1.4.4 and its fixes... but it has not been forgotten.
WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?
Nothing? Just fixes and more fixes... with maybe one half of one eye looking in the direction of discussing how we might best approach Crossplay.
TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM
Hello everyone!
Bug fixing continues unabated, with a focus on some resolution issues as well as making some improvements on game starting as well as server hosting. We expect this work to continue for some time as we work to make the TML experience as fantastic as possible.
Other members of the team have been able to take a good amount of time to focus on bringing TML up to the 1.4.4/Labor of Love era. This work is going very well, though we really cannot give any sort of solid timeline for this release - in large part because Re-Logic is still putting out hotfixes! We have been doing all that we can to work closely with Modders as well in order to ensure a reasonable and smooth transition to 1.4.4, and not just breaking every mod day one.
More on timing when we can provide an accurate estimate!
TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP
The TML Steam Workshop is closing in on 3000 mods already! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!
WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?
Getting TML to 1.4.4 and making that launch as smooth as we can is the core focus of the team for the next little while. The team has some ideas beyond that, but we really want to focus on the short term needs for now.
As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader[github.com] (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[github.com] branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader[github.com])
PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
The team at DR Studios is working hard to keep pace with the PC fixes, while also working on some Console and Mobile specific bugfixes. 1.4.4.1 should already be in the hands of everyone, and we are happy to share that 1.4.4.5 is live for iOS and Android as of this morning!
TERRARIA MOBILE AND CONSOLE 1.4.4.5 CHANGELOG
[forums.terraria.org]TERRARIA MOBILE DEDICATED SERVER 1.4.4.5
[terraria.org]- Amazon and Google "Trial" versions are trailing behind a bit. Amazon should submit tomorrow. "Trial" will be delayed further due to an additional requirement requested by Google during submission.
- Console versions of 1.4.4.5 are expected to be submitted to first parties within the next couple of days at worst.
Beyond that update, we will be looking to continue with fixes until we reach the same final version as PC (whatever that turns out to be haha), and we feel like we are in a good place with fixes on Console and Mobile. On top of this, we are already in the planning stages for our attempts at Crossplay. The team has a good sense for where we currently stand as well as the potential issues that lie ahead. We will share more details of our plan once we have it a bit more fleshed out.
Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

So, if you ordered Issues 1-4, we can either send them out each month or as one big box all at the end to help cut down on costs (but you will have to wait!).
That's it for now, Terrarians! All four Issues of Book One have been revealed! Get your orders in now if you are interested, and we will share details around the full Book One release when we have them. In the meantime, if you ordered any of the individual issues, those should be in your hand before the year is out - so you will get to see it all first! We will answer any questions that you may have - and that we are able to answer.
We here at Re-Logic are really excited about this project and we personally enjoy how it has all turned out. We hope you agree!

QUALITY OF LIFE
GEAR LOADOUTS
Terraria has always been a game where the player is constantly shifting roles - Dig, Fight, Build is the tagline, after all! Previously, this meant a lot of shifting around of gear sets and the like... but with Labor of Love, players will at long last have access to a set of three gear loadouts! This will allow players to create different gear setups ahead of time and seamlessly swap between them as needed.
EVOLVED VOID BAG
For those of you who aren't already familiar with the current version of the Void Bag, it is a portable personal storage container similar to the Money Trough. Uniquely, it also has the ability to automatically pick up any extra items whenever your inventory is full. However, we have added expanded functionality to the Void Bag to further enhance its role as a supplementary inventory.
For starters, the Void Bag can now be opened or closed with Right Click. When in the Closed state, it will deactivate its ability to pick up extra items, and act just like second Money Trough. When in the Opened state, however, a variety of new functionality becomes available!
Any crafting materials kept within the Void Bag will be available for any crafting recipes! You will not have to directly access the storage, or summon the portal, to be able to immediately craft with anything inside of the Void Bag!
Healing, Mana, and Buff Potions stored in the Void Bag can be used directly via their respective Quick Hotkeys. You can store all of your favorite buff potions in the Void Bag and simply refresh at any time! Mana Flower auto-potion functionality will work with the Void Bag as well! Enterprising players might keep some core buff potions in their regular inventory, with a secondary set of specialized buff potions in the bag. Depending on which mode the Void Bag is in, this will allow players to effectively hold two different potion "loadouts" at a time!
You can now Favorite items stored within the Void Bag. This has been added because you can ALSO Quick Stack to Nearby Chests anything inside of your Opened Void Bag. Favorite the things you want to keep, and then use Quick Stack for faster chest sorting!
Using Loot All on a chest with a full or nearly full inventory will deposit any overflow directly into the Void Bag
There are a number of other items which will function automatically when placed in a Open Void Bag, as they would when in the player's inventory, including:
- Info Accessories
- Paint Sprayer, Presserator, and any accessories that grant Wire, Actuator, or Ruler vision when in the inventory
- The Guide to Critter Companionship
- Keys stored in the bag can be used to open Chests
- Wormhole Potions
INVENTORY IMPROVEMENTS
Most stackable items have had their max limit increased to 9999!
That's right folks, you can once again place any accessory in your social slots.
To help you keep track of what is going into which chest, Quick Stack to Nearby Chests now has a visual effect, showing the items which are being quick stacked moving towards the chests.
KEEP COUNT WITH NUMERICAL HEALTH BARS
No longer wonder how much health you have left - even on the fancier health bars! (Toggle this on/off in settings)
Having to hover over the boss to see just how close you are to defeating it is a thing of the past!
ROPE INTERACTION IMPROVEMENTS
Rope has always been a useful tool since it was added to Terraria, but it has never really played nice with other handy exploration tools such as minecart tracks and platforms. Labor of Love fixes up that little problem - ropes, cart tracks, and platforms... living together... mass hysteria!
This is just a small sampling of the Quality of Life improvements we have made in Terraria: Labor of Love! Be sure to dive into the full changelog for all of the juicy details!

WORLD SEEDS
GET FIXED BOI - THE ZENITH SEED
You ever wonder what would happen if you took every seed in the game - including the new ones from Labor of Love - mashed them together, and then spent the extra time to playtest this new seed and polish it until it is "just right". Oh, and then for good measure, you tossed in a few features and dynamics unique to that seed?
Wonder no more, for the Zenith Seed is here! We consider this to be the true Magnum Opus of Terraria World Seeds - a version of Terraria that is equal parts unique to play and a whole new level of challenge for the most hardened Terrarians. Take on this seed only if you dare, for it may truly break you - Get Fixed Boi!
DON'T DIG UP - THE REMIX SEED
An idea first discussed during the release of Journey's End, Don't Dig Up turns the world of Terraria upside down - literally! The player will begin their adventure in the depths of the underworld, complete with all new flora to help provide early resources.
As the player ascends into "The Up", however, the threats will magnify exponentially until they reach the Surface - a truly horrifying and inhospitable place that will test the mettle of even the most seasoned Terrarian. Rethink everything you know, but Don't Dig Up unless you are prepared for what comes next!
NO TRAPS - THE NO TRAPS SEED
You know what is the worst? When you are out exploring in the world of Terraria and you get blown up by an explosive trap... or even worse, squashed by a nasty boulder! Well, the team wanted to make a World Seed that was designed with Terrarians who really hate traps in mind.
IMPROVEMENTS TO EXISTING WORLD SEEDS
In developing the three new World Seeds for Labor of Love, the team gained some new insights into how to really make world seeds feel special. Thus, we took the extra time to revisit some of our existing seeds in order to spruce them up a bit. For some seeds, these changes are relatively minor. However, the Celebration Mk 10 and For the Worthy seeds have seen some pretty substantial tweaks. Regardless, it is very much worth it for Terrarians to check out all of the existing World Seeds once again with these new changes in place!
Of course, this is just scratching the surface for all there is to know about World Seeds in Labor of Love - be sure to check out the full changelog linked below for all of the details!

NEW ADDITIONS
INTRODUCING - THE TOWN SLIMES
Slimes are widely considered to be non-sentient beings: mindless blobs of gel that aimlessly bounce about throughout the world of Terraria. Recently however, Terrarian Slimeologists have discovered what appears to be a new evolution in slime kind... some sort of big, blobby, smart slimes. Well, smart by slime standards at least.
The denizens of Terraria have dubbed these new creatures "Town Slimes", for their penchant to attempt to dress up and try to fit in with Terrarian society. Thus far, the discovered variants include:
Cool Slime - The backwards hat is a clear giveaway that this is one hip slime indeed
Clumsy Slime - No one is quite sure how that arrow got stuck in his head, but he seems to like it...
Surly Slime - This guy has a bad attitude and keeps running afoul of the law
Nerdy Slime - Clearly smarter than all other slimes, as evidenced by the glasses
Elder Slime - Back in his day, you had to jump over single block tall heights and you had to dig up blocks before replacing them
Diva Slime - Yes, even slimes have celebrities... and yes she is better than you
Mystic Slime - This slime is in touch with the natural energies that flow throughout Terraria
Squire Slime - Ready to defend the kingdom from all threats, wielding the most powerful weapon known to Slimekind
This cast of characters is packed with personality, and players who are brave and clever enough to seek them out during their adventures will have the chance to have all eight Town Slimes move in to their towns/bases! Best of luck on your search for the Town Slimes - gotta catch 'em all!
NEW USEFUL ITEMS TO AID YOUR ADVENTURES
You used to call me on the Cellphone, but now that Labor of Love is here, all the cool kids are using the Shellphone! This handy device allows you to choose the destination of the magic mirror function - Initial Spawn, Home (Bed), Ocean, or Underworld!
Terraformer - we have taken the Clentaminator and made it stronger, faster, better. We have the technology!
Lilith's Necklace will allow you to transform into a wolf during your adventures - because who doesn't want to channel their inner wolf!?
NEW BLOCKS AND DECOR
What Terraria update would be complete without some fancy new decorations and blocks to spruce up your bases, arenas, and more! Here are a few fun examples:
Reef Blocks and Coral Furniture
Brand New Paintings - Designed by the Team, Testers, and Community
A Blast from the Past - Ancient Blocks Relive the Early Days of Terraria!
Have You Ever Wanted to Place Heart & Mana Crystals as Decorations? Sure you have!
NEW BUILDER TOOLS
On top of providing all new blocks and furniture for our builder friends, the team has added two new Terraria building tools that we think will really help you take your Terraria creations to the next level!
Hand of Creation - A New Tinker that will Make Building Easier than Ever!
Rubblemaker - At Long Last, the Fun Worldgen-based Stuff is at your Fingertips!
Check out these videos by Khaios and CheesyPaninie for full details - they do a better job showing these off than words could ever do!
ECHO AND ILLUMINANT COATINGS
New Coatings provide players with all new ways to design cool base/town effects and even more diabolical adventure maps!
Echo Coating, combined with the Echo Monolith lets you make things disappear! Now you see it, now you don't!
To help you really see the potential that Coatings can provide, Khaios and CheesyPaninie put together the video above - definitely give this a watch!
Of course, this is just a sampling of what we have added in Labor of Love - be sure to check out the full changelog linked below for all of the details!

BALANCE & MELEE OVERHAUL
MELEE OVERHAUL
The Melee "Class" has always had a bit of a reputation for being underwhelming and a bit of a struggle to use - particularly against very mobile foes. No, Zenith does not count - that is an endgame weapon that is devastating to use regardless of what "class" one wishes to place it.Taking the dynamics of defense, damage done, mobility, etc. all into account, it was clear that the entire class needed a closer look to make the risk more worth the rewards when playing Melee. What all does this entail? We will not cover everything here, but this should give a good sense for our approach.
GLOBAL WEAPON TWEAKS
Knockback when spinning flails has been increased from 25% to 35% of normal knockback
Spinning flails now hit up to 4 times a second instead of 3 times a second. Flails which already hit 4 times a second have been increased to 5 times a second.
---
MELEE WEAPON STAT BUFFS
---
WEAPON REWORKS
Even with the changes listed above, some Melee Weapons felt like they needed a more significant reworking - visually, functionally, or both. Let's dive into a few examples, shall we?
Dark Lance - Now generates a shockwave at the end of the spear, which increases its effective range. This shockwave also scales in size with melee speed, so you can now expect more pronounced Melee Speed benefits for Dark Lance. Now inflicts Shadowflame as well.
Light Disc - now a single item, not 5 stacked items. As a result, it can now have prefixes. Players can now shoot up to 6 Discs at once instead of 5. Oh, and a cool new light trail effect.
Horseman's Blade - Now has an area of damaging energy around the blade, dealing damage in a larger, wider area of effect, including better coverage behind the player.
---
NIGHT'S EDGE/TERRA BLADE SWORD QUEST LINE
Blood Butcherer - Every successful strike on an enemy now applies a stack of "Blood Butchered", a short lived damage over time effect. Each of these stacks are signified by a gout of blood spouting forth from the enemy.
Volcano - Fiery Greatsword evolved into Volcano! Upon striking an enemy, Volcano will generate an fiery explosive area of effect, dealing additional damage to the original target and nearby enemies!
True Excalibur - True Excalibur now has a very large area of damaging energy around the blade, dealing damage in a dramatically wider area of effect, including better coverage behind the player. It no longer fires a projectile sword beam
BOSS TWEAKS
We have given several bosses a once-over during Labor of Love, so you will want to check out the full changelog for all of the juicy details. You don't want to be caught unawares, after all! That being said, we did want to highlight two bosses that have perhaps seen the most changes. As a result, we expect that players will find them to be a bit more challenging!
GOLEM
What Terraria Balance Update would be complete without a buff to Golem? Continually seen as one of the easiest bosses in all of Terraria, the Golem fight needed more love from the team. What has changed? Take him on and find out!
DUKE FISHRON
The Duke was once seen as one of the better boss fights in all of Terraria. He is still a solid experience, but we felt like he could use a bit of tweaking in order to help him return to a more prominent challenge that is worthy of how the game has evolved since his introduction. Head to the Ocean and fish him up in order to experience a fresh fight!
PUMPKIN MOON OVERHAUL
Let's face it, the good old Pumpkin Moon was starting to show its age a bit. Once considered a challenge event, it has been relegated to the role of niche side content that doesn't really stand up to the skills and gear of the modern Terrarian. Well, fret not, Pumpkin Moon fans! We have reworked the Pumpkin Moon in order to bring it in line with other events of that same tier, such as the Frost Moon. What exactly did we change?
Pumpkin Moon is now a full 20 Wave event rather than its previous 15 Waves
Pumpkin Moon Enemies received some buffs, and the composition of each wave has changed...
The insane boss spam typical of the later waves of Pumpkin Moon has been cut back tremendously - this will not only challenge the player to play more optimally to rack up high scores, but will also likely put less strain on everyone's hardware.
Labor of Love has way too many balance tweaks to be able to cover them off here - be sure to check out the full changelog linked below for all of the details!

So, there you have it Terrarians. Our Love Letter to you. Terraria has been our Labor of Love for many years, and we hope that each of you have felt that come through in each update, in our interactions with you, and in the joy we have all received from playing this game over the years. Here's to Terraria, the Community, and many more fun times ahead!

We are back again - this time with the juicy details around the release of Issue 3 of the Terraria Graphic Novel Series! Issue 3 is all about the journey and getting to know some of our party of heroes a bit better - just as our friends are doing the same as they enjoy a quick meal while camped out at an oasis. In case you missed our earlier announcement about the series as a whole, you can check out those details HERE, and you can still get your orders in for the initial shipment of Issue Two for a little bit longer (details below - but don't fret if you miss the first shipment or if you missed out on Issue One, see the note below). Our team is once again thrilled with the packages that 50 Amp Productions[www.50ampproductions.com] has put together in support of the Graphic Novel rollout - and we hope you will feel the same way!
[www.50ampproductions.com]IMPORTANT NOTE FROM 50 AMP PRODUCTIONS
There seems to be a little confusion regarding the ordering window and our “cut-off date.” So we wanted to offer a little clarification.
The term, “cut-off,” does not mean that after that date, you will not be able to place an order. We intend for these items to remain available well after those dates. The ordering window is to ensure that we have your item in-stock and ready to ship during our initial shipping windows. Should we sell out, you will still be able to get the items, but there will likely be a delay as we must reorder at the manufacturers.
As shipping has not yet begun for issue 1&2 boxes, if you see the reveal of the issue 3 items and would like to amend your order, please email us at [email protected] and we will be happy to help you. It is very important to us that fans are satisfied and are able to ensure their orders are complete and correct.
We also wanted to take a moment to thank you all for supporting this project. We consider ourselves lucky to work with Re-Logic on this and to be able to offer these books and collectibles to you, the fans. We will be throwing some fun extra goodies into every order from Copper to Platinum as a thank you.
Now, on to the details!
As a reminder, we are planning to roll out Issues 1-4 (Book One) over the next few months, followed by a full Book One release to book sellers/retailers as well as available online some time in Q1 2023. Book One will contain all of the first four issues along with a few other goodies (still TBD, but think concept art and other "making of" work, stuff like that). All orders can be placed on the 50 Amp Productions Website - click the cover above to check it out!
Issue One orders start today, but here is the overall expected timeline:
TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL ISSUES 1-4 ORDER WINDOWS
Issue 1: Orders Open - August 11 --- Orders for Initial Shipment Close - September 12Issue 2: Reveal Date - September 1 --- Orders for Initial Shipment Close - October 3
Issue 3: Reveal Date - September 22 --- Orders for Initial Shipment Close - October 24
Issue 4: Reveal Date - October 13 --- Orders for Initial Shipment Close - November 14
EXPECTED SHIPPING TIMING FOR ORDERS
Issue 1 – Initial Shipment in OctoberIssue 2 – Initial Shipment in late October
Issue 3 – Initial Shipment in mid-November
Issue 4 - Initial Shipment in mid-December
We do not expect to run into any delivery issues, but there is always the potential for issues beyond our control. 50 Amp Productions are committed to communicating with the fans if any issue arises.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING COSTS UPDATE
Speaking of shipping, we know our international fans have sometimes run into some very high shipping costs (these are strictly pass-through costs based on whatever the shipping company is charging 50 Amp). We have been chasing down a variety of solutions to help bring these costs down, and we can at long last announce that we have found a way.
We have entered into a partnership which will allow us to offer another shipping option for our non-American customers. The short version is that by shipping international orders from our partner's European hub rather than our US-based warehouses, there is a good chance that we can cut all non-US shipping costs - often substantially.
Starting with our second issue on, we can provide this option to you! In addition, for Issues 2, 3, 4, and for our bundles - if you have already placed an order, we will be looking to see if this new option will save you money. If it will/does, we will be refunding the difference to the method of payment you used to make the purchase. Please be patient with us on this, as it could take us several days to process all of this, as we have to do the differences in shipping costs and refunds by hand. We will contact you afterwards if you should expect to see a refund.
Unfortunately, because we have already placed our orders with our manufacturers for issue 1 and the materials are all already at or en route to our American warehouse, we will have to utilize the initial shipping methods and costs - so we sadly cannot offer this option for issue 1.
We feel like this will allow us to help a lot of you save money, so we are very glad that we could find a way to make this happen, and we are SUPER appreciative of our partner in helping to make this a reality. Once we have this good and established, we should have this in place as our solution in the future.
Thank you for your patience and we apologize that the solution took a little bit to lock down!
TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL: ISSUE 2 ORDERS STILL OPEN
We are still taking orders for the initial shipment of the second issue of the Terraria Graphic Novel. In case you missed the news or you just decided after seeing Issue Two's cover that you are all in, we have you covered.
Check out the details around Issue Two by clicking the banner below!
TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL: ISSUE 3 PACKAGES
We hope you have enjoyed seeing the packages for Issues One and Two, and we are back again with a variety of packages for Issue Three that we think provides something for everyone. If you just want Issue 3 and that's it, we have that for you - or if you want to delve deeper and pick up some really cool Terraria collectibles, that is available as well. Similar packages with different items will be available for each issue release. We are using the order windows above in order to ensure our ability to ship by a certain date. Fans are free to order packages for all four issues at any time - if you know you want all four and want to be sure that you do not miss out - but the covers and packages themselves will be revealed via the timeline above.

All package prices do not include shipping costs, which will vary based on shipping location, etc. as a pass-through cost to the customer. For anyone looking to save on shipping costs, we are offering the option to either ship each package one at a time or to hold them all and ship them all at once. So, if you ordered Issues 1-4, we can either send them out each month or as one big box all at the end to help cut down on costs (but you will have to wait!).
That's it for now, Terrarians! Get your orders in now for Issue Three (and Issue Two while there is still time) and mark your calendars for the big reveal of the final part of Book One, Issue 4! We will answer any questions that you may have - and that we are able to answer.

Two Eye of Cthuhlu Magnets
Two Terraria Silver Metal Challenge Coins w/Coin Protectors
*Platinum will also come with a certificate of authenticity for the special collector's edition items.
All package prices do not include shipping costs, which will vary based on shipping location, etc. as a pass-through cost to the customer. For anyone looking to save on shipping costs, we are offering the option to either ship each package one at a time or to hold them all and ship them all at once. So, if you ordered Issues 1-4, we can either send them out each month or as one big box all at the end to help cut down on costs (but you will have to wait!).
That's it for now, Terrarians! Get your orders in now for Issue Two (and Issue One if you missed that) and mark your calendars for the reveal and release of Issues 3-4. We will answer any questions that you may have - and that we are able to answer.
We here at Re-Logic are really excited about this project and we personally enjoy how it has all turned out. We hope you agree!]]>
Greetings Terrarians!
Alas, Summer is drawing to a close. Back to School, work, or just whatever your daily grind may be - we hope your Summer was a fun and relaxing one! As we head into the Fall - probably our favorite season - the development teams are making huge strides towards getting the Labor of Love update into your hands. This is a State of the Game that you will not want to miss, because we are at long last going to be able to dive into some details around the launch of this fantastic Terraria update. So, sit down, buckle up, and let's get this month's SOTG underway!
PC - RE-LOGIC
TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE UPDATE
The Re-Logic team is proud to reveal that we have completed our work on the Labor of Love update, and that we have officially reached code freeze on the PC side! That means that while we may still be looking at bugfixes and tweaks for anything that we might find between now and launch, we are not adding anything new to the game/code any more in order to allow time for our friends at DR Studios to finish their work on porting to Console and Mobile. Why not just go ahead and release it if we are "done", you say? Well, beyond the aforementioned continued - and needed - testing and fixing...
It is our intention to make this the first simultaneous Terraria update release across all platforms. That means that if all goes to plan, Terraria: Labor of Love will release on PC, Console, and Mobile at the same time!
Barring any issues or delays in first party (Sony, Nintendo, etc) submissions, we expect Labor of Love to release in late September.
Barring any issues or delays in first party (Sony, Nintendo, etc) submissions, we expect Labor of Love to release in late September.
So there you have it - pretty big news, eh? We are so excited for the chance to do a simultaneous release to everyone all at once - a daunting task, but one that we cannot wait to attempt. Perhaps a glimpse at how things will be in the possible future where crossplay is a thing.
While we are on the subject of Labor of Love, ChippyGaming produced a nice summary video of all of the spoilers for this update thus far - it is definitely worth a watch to catch up in case you missed anything!

STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS
Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!
With over 62,000 packs and worlds so far, you are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out the Workshop yet. Planning on another round of Developer's Choice soon - so get your best and brightest up on the Workshop now!
Once Labor of Love hits, expect even more summer cleaning to come your way.
WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?
Right now, our core focus is the final push to get Labor of Love done to what we have as the vision for the update. We will be revisiting "what's next" once we get this update out and any needed hotfixes, etc.
TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM
Hello everyone!
Another month, even more bugfixes for tModLoader 1.4! Generally speaking, the team has spent at least half of its time on bug fixes with another eye (and half our time) looking towards the setup for delivery of future major improvements. Want some examples? Of course you do!
- Started work on improved dedicated server utilities & multiplayer stability
- Began working on improved GoG and Steam Family Share compatibility
- Work is underway on an improved Mod Browser experience
So, all in all, sort of a quieter month (but with lots going on) focused around 'what are the next big areas where we can improve tML 1.4' now that we have gotten a better grip on release cycles and minimizing the impacts on users.
TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP
The TML Steam Workshop is already up to over 2,200 mods in just one short month. Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!
TMODLOADER 1.3 STILL AVAILABLE
As a continued reminder, the developers behind each individual Terraria mod will need to update their mods to the 1.4 era, so hang with them while that process takes place. We also realize that some older mods that are no longer in development may never make the leap to the 1.4 era. Given that, we have kept the 1.3.5 version of TML playableHow do I switch to back to 1.3 tModLoader?
1. Right click on tModLoader in Steam and select 'Properties...', then 'BETAS';2. Select '1.3-legacy' in the drop-down menu on top;
3. Close the window. You don't need to type any passwords!
WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?
More fixes, more behind the scenes work on the improvements we mentioned above - more details to come as we know more and get further down the road!
As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader[github.com] (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[github.com] branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader[github.com])
PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
The team at DR Studios has been doing all that we can to keep pace with the PC side of Labor of Love so that once Re-Logic finished development, we could pick up the baton and move quickly towards completing development on Console and Mobile so that we would be ready for submissions as quickly as possible. As shared in the PC section above (since we know some Console/Mobile Terrarians may just skip to this section)...
It is our intention to make this the first simultaneous Terraria update release across all platforms. That means that if all goes to plan, Terraria: Labor of Love will release on PC, Console, and Mobile at the same time!
Barring any issues or delays in first party (Sony, Nintendo, etc) submissions, we expect Labor of Love to release in late September.
Barring any issues or delays in first party (Sony, Nintendo, etc) submissions, we expect Labor of Love to release in late September.
Don't think that we forgot a spoiler or two for you folks either...
Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!
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.

The day is finally here - orders for the first Issue of Book One of the Terraria Graphic Novel Series are now open! In case you missed our earlier announcement about the series as a whole, you can check out those details HERE. The team at Re-Logic in conjunction with our partners at 50 Amp Productions[www.50ampproductions.com] is very excited to be able to roll out the first part of Book One at long last to all of you. The 50 Amp team has also gone above and beyond the Graphic Novel itself and put together a few additional collectibles that fans can pick up as well should you feel so inclined.
[www.50ampproductions.com]With all that said, let's dive right in to how it will all work, what is available and when, etc. shall we?
Overall, the plan is to roll out Issues 1-4 (Book One) over the next few months, followed by a full Book One release to book sellers/retailers as well as available online some time in Q1 2023. Book One will contain all of the first four issues along with a few other goodies (still TBD, but think concept art and other "making of" work, stuff like that). All orders can be placed on the 50 Amp Productions Website - click the cover above to check it out!
Issue One orders start today, but here is the overall expected timeline:
TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL ISSUES 1-4 ORDER WINDOWS
Issue 1: Orders Open - August 11 --- Orders Close - September 12Issue 2: Reveal Date - September 1 --- Orders Close - October 3
Issue 3: Reveal Date - September 22 --- Orders Close - October 24

EXPECTED SHIPPING TIMING FOR ORDERS
Issue 1 – ships in OctoberIssue 2 – ships in late October
Issue 3 – ships in mid-November
Issue 4 - ships in mid-December
We do not expect to run into any delivery issues, but there is always the potential for issues beyond our control. 50 Amp Productions are committed to communicating with the fans if any issue arises.
TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL: ISSUE 1 PACKAGES
The team has put together an array of packages that we think provides something for everyone. If you just want Issue 1 and that's it, we have that for you - but we have also put together a solid handful of additional collectibles to celebrate the occasion that folks can pick up in the other packages if they so choose. Similar packages with different items will be available for Issues 2-4. All 4 issues will be available for purchase at launch, though we have order cut-off dates to ensure our ability to ship by a certain date. Fans are free to order packages for all four issues at any time, but the covers and packages themselves will be revealed via the timeline above.

Greetings Terrarians!
Summer is nearly over already?! My how the time flies when you are having fun - which we certainly hope has been the case for all of you out there! We have been having a TON of fun during the development of the Labor of Love update. Reading fan ideas, brainstorming other cool new stuff internally, seeing where the creativity takes us: it has been a real blast. That said, we can definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel. So, let's dive right into the late-summer State of the Game news shall we?
PC - RE-LOGIC
TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE UPDATE
Labor of Love has reached a point where we feel like the end of development is extremely close. We have been whittling down our bugs and tasks lists while also taking on a solid handful of cool ideas that you all have shared with us on the forums, social media, Discord, and more. Hopefully, you have been keeping up with the spoilery tidbits we have been sharing along the way. Still no exact date to give you just yet (though it is starting to come into focus)
That said, you came here for the latest and greatest, right? We would hate to disappoint you, so here it goes...
THE VOID BAG HAS EVOLVED!
For those of you who aren't already familiar with the current version of the Void Bag, it is a portable personal storage container similar to the Money Trough. Uniquely, it also has the ability to automatically pick up any extra items whenever your inventory is full.However, we have added expanded functionality to the Void Bag to further enhance its role as a supplementary inventory.
For starters, the Void Bag can now be opened or closed with Right Click. When in the Closed state, it will deactivate its ability to pick up extra items, and act just like second Money Trough. When in the Opened state, however, a variety of new functionality becomes available!
Any crafting materials kept within the Void Bag will be available for any crafting recipes! You will not have to directly access the storage, or summon the portal, to be able to immediately craft with anything inside of the Void Bag!
Healing, Mana, and Buff Potions stored in the Void Bag can be used directly via their respective Quick Hotkeys. You can store all of your favorite buff potions in the Void Bag and simply refresh at any time! Mana Flower auto-potion functionality will work with the Void Bag as well! Enterprising players might keep some core buff potions in their regular inventory, with a secondary set of specialized buff potions in the bag. Depending on which mode the Void Bag is in, this will allow players to effectively hold two different potion "loadouts" at a time!
You can now Favorite items stored within the Void Bag. This has been added because you can ALSO Quick Stack to Nearby Chests anything inside of your Opened Void Bag. Favorite the things you want to keep, and then use Quick Stack for faster chest sorting!
Using Loot All on a chest with a full or nearly full inventory will deposit any overflow directly into the Void Bag
There are a number of other items which will function automatically when placed in a Open Void Bag, as they would when in the player's inventory, including:
- Info Accessories
- Paint Sprayer, Presserator, and any accessories that grant Wire, Actuator, or Ruler vision when in the inventory
- The Guide to Critter Companionship
- Keys stored in the bag can be used to open Chests
- Wormhole
- Potions
Hope this revamp and evolution of the Void Bag has you even more excited for Labor of Love than ever before! Again, if you missed any of the litany of spoilers that we have shared over the past month on Twitter and elsewhere, be sure to check out and follow our social media channels to catch up and so that you do not miss any that might drop in the future!
We will hopefully have a date soon, we promise! (How's that for a non-committal promise?)

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM
Hello everyone!
This month has almost all been bugfixes - as things often are after a major launch like TML 1.4!. There's still more todo, but we're doing our best to fix issues and support as many users as possible - so keep your reports coming in.
We have also added tML support for modded pylons (thanks to MutantWafflez). Thanks to this, pylon mods should become more compatible, and we can expect more modded pylons.

The TML Steam Workshop is already up to nearly 2,000 mods in just one short month. Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!

As a continued reminder, the developers behind each individual Terraria mod will need to update their mods to the 1.4 era, so hang with them while that process takes place. We also realize that some older mods that are no longer in development may never make the leap to the 1.4 era. Given that, we have kept the 1.3.5 version of TML playableHow do I switch to back to 1.3 tModLoader?
1. Right click on tModLoader in Steam and select 'Properties...', then 'BETAS';2. Select '1.3-legacy' in the drop-down menu on top;
3. Close the window. You don't need to type any passwords!
WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?
Bug fixes and more bug fixes... did we mention bug fixes? We have a few other things in the works, but they are not really ready to talk about yet.
As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader[github.com] (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
The team at DR Studios has really enjoyed this development cycle, being able to run alongside our good friends at Re-Logic and working in parallel to try and keep Mobile and Console right on pace. We won't lie, being able to show brand new Terraria content for the first time on Mobile and Switch was simply amazing, and we are so happy to be able to take part in the spoiler-y fun at last. Speaking of, we have some fun new stuff to show you this month, so shall we?
Equipped pets can now be seen in the Player Select Menu!
Who doesn't want to channel their inner Wolf?
Now, we would be remiss without giving you a mobile spoiler as well, right? Well, pardon our dust a bit on this one as it is still very much a work in progress (we do not have the mappable UI button in quite yet as well, but it is coming!)
Gear Loadouts on Mobile Terraria - Work in Progress!

NEW TERRARIA MERCH COMING SOON
We have a few new fun items coming soon that you might enjoy - and even more planned for the Holidays. While we don't want to reveal anything JUST yet (as we prefer to be able to show things when you are able to actually go ahead and get them), we have the following and more in the works:
New Clothing Designs
Keychain/Bag Clips
The first Terraria Jigsaw Puzzle
...and a lot more!
Oh... and we can confirm that Town Slime stuff is already in the works. We won't show you JUST yet... we would rather wait until we have them fully ready and available - but the Town Slimes are coming...

TERRARIA MODS WIKI LAUNCHES SOON
Our good friends at Wiki.gg have been working with the TML Team and others on a brand new Terraria Mods Wiki!
[terrariamods.wiki.gg]The wiki is located at https://terrariamods.wiki.gg, and is available for your use now. A small group of folks received advanced access in order to start adding content - but now we are ready to reveal it to everyone. The current format is a modified version of the same theme used on the vanilla Terraria wiki. This might need to be changed in the future in order to avoid confusing readers on which wiki they are on. We are currently working with the tModLoader team to develop some assets to hopefully make the Terraria Mods wiki feel even more unique.
We looked at the current Fandom mods wiki to start, but based on its current status, we decided to make a mostly fresh start here. Basically, the new Terraria Mods wiki has the same structure as the one on Fandom, just without any mods currently covered there. The small group we have reached out to in advance before going public has mainly be mod devs to add their mods to the wiki in advance of the launch. We will also attempt to bring over particular mods from the Fandom wiki as long as their content is in good shape (i.e. following naming conventions and using proper templates). Being as there are almost 200 mods on the Fandom wiki, it would take a lot of work to determine which mods are still active and organized among everything else. The plan is to be more on top of mod content on wiki.gg than things ever were on Fandom, so we avoid unorganized/old content, keep to consistent standards, etc.
We hope you take some time to check this out today!
TERRARIA LEGO IDEAS CONCEPT UPDATE - GOAL ACHIEVED!!
The Terraria Lego Ideas concept that we had mentioned for the past few State of the Game posts has reached the 10,000 Supporter goal that Lego sets for things to move on to the next phase. We have tried to reach out in parallel to see if we can help enable things along the way. As for what is next or the timing, no one knows just yet - but if and when we do, we will tell you immediately. Thanks again to our wonderful community for sending a strong message that Terrarians want Terraria Legos!!!

We are beyond thrilled to be able to at long last reveal a project that has been going on behind the scenes for quite some time - the Terraria Graphic Novel series! We here at Re-Logic have been working closely with our partners at 50 Amp Productions[50ampproductions.com] on all aspects of the graphic novels - from script to lineart to coloring and more, we really feel like these are a perfect balance between staying authentic to the Terraria experience while taking enough creative license to be able to craft an engaging story within the Terraria universe.
We are nearly finished with Book One in the series, and we wanted to give you a sneak peek (well... beyond the one we gave you in June's State of the Game) at what is to come. Each Book will contain four parts... and this is the cover art for Terraria - Book One, Issue One.
(Cover art is final, but the team is working on a new custom logo for this series - so the Terraria Logo here is just a WIP/Placeholder using our in-game logo)
Outside of working on Terraria itself, this is maybe the most excited we have been for any project we have been involved with thus far. We have high hopes and big plans here, should these do well enough and meet with the approval of the Terraria Community.
The rollout plan is still under discussion, and we will have more details on that very soon. However, we can share that the current plan is to make Issues 1-4 available as standalone items (both with and without some other really cool collectibles that we are developing as a part of the package) starting in Q3 of this year and continuing through the end of 2022. We will then have the entire Book One available as a completed piece along with some special additions in early 2023. We would then begin work on Book Two and so on.
Now, of course, we will always maintain that the Terraria story is as open ended as the players themselves - so view this as just one possible take of the limitless stories that could be told about the who, what, and why behind what happens in the world of Terraria. That said, we think it is a pretty good one - and one that we are hoping and looking to expand upon in future books in the series. How far we will be able to go here, of course, depends on your support! The more successful these are or become, the further we can take the story... and who knows, maybe we could one day explore having these adapted as a streaming series or more.
We hope you are all as excited as we are about Terraria finally getting the legit Graphic Novel treatment and are intrigued to see the story thus far... and where it might take us all.
Cheers!]]>
Greetings Terrarians!
We don't know about you, but the heat this summer has been brutal so far to us! Sounds like a good excuse to grab some gaming time and catch up on the latest and greatest Terraria news, right? Development work on the Labor of Love update is in full swing across both the Re-Logic and DR Studios teams - and we are really excited for some of the juicy spoilers that we have in store for you this month (on top of those we have already shared this month in case you missed them on our socials). That said, grab a cold beverage, cool off, and settle in for this month's State of the Game!
PC - RE-LOGIC
TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE UPDATE
Labor of Love really feels like it is living up to its name more and more as each week of development goes by. The team has conducted a couple of playthroughs along the way, and we have found these to be some of the more fun and unique sessions that we have had for years. We have shared a lot of what is going into this update thus far, but rest assured that we have held some rather substantial changes and additions close to the vest as is tradition. We have a bit more to share this month... but some things you will have to discover yourself when Labor of Love launches.
No, we still do not have a date to give you - but we do see the light at the end of the tunnel...
Spoilers though? We've got one for you!
Wow, when you guys said you were going to be transparent with us about the new update, you weren't kidding!

Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!
Another month and another 1000 additions to the Workshop - with over 57,000 packs and worlds so far, you are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out the Workshop yet.
We hope to get around to doing some "summer cleaning" of the Workshop once Labor of Love settles down a bit. If you get what we mean. (some of this has already begun)
WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?
Right now, the core focus of the time is the final push to get Labor of Love done to what we have as the vision for the update. Still have that one eye on the future though.
TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM
Hello everyone!
On June 2, 2022, we launched tModLoader for Terraria 1.4+ to Terrarians everywhere. This was the result of countless hours of hard work by the TML Team and many other contributors over the span of nearly two years, and the team is beyond thrilled to have TML 1.4 in your hands. We specifically want to recognize the following folks whom have made invaluable contributions to the TML project since Journey's End released in 2020:
direwolf420, Chik3r, ExterminatorX99, ThomasThePencil, Itorius, Steviegt6, Rartrin, Agrair, Ishigh1, DarkLight66, DarioDaF, kittenchilly, Dual-Iron, MrSlimeDude, sgkoishi, OliHeamon, RighteousRyan1, Igmc, NotLe0n, Pixelnando, daim03, fakelag, andrewlord607, pollen00, einarmo, Setnour6, MutantWafflez, Ozzatron, Antirhinnum, CriddleZap, jackbondpreston, Pbone3, ModernMAK, Crapsky233, absoluteAquarian, rjmarzec, ubnt-intrepid, ScalarVector1, Pacnysam, Falcon-05, staticfox, JPANv2, Nyrest, Naginif, D1plex, georgewoodall82, Tyfyter, zzp198, SpencerDawg, RunningDroid, Trivaxy, SadOnion, miarodri, sdegueldre, JamzOhJamz, Ved-s, BarteQ778177, Lumelore, RuneZhevitz, Dinoxel, jjohnsnaill, xKirtle, MikhailMCraft,terrynmuse, hannest03, Fatiz, Valjean42, TomaszOleszko, Rijam, IbanPlay, Fragstiller, S-Pladison
TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP
The launch of TML 1.4 also allowed the team to bring the tModLoader Steam Workshop online. We have already seen nearly 1,400 mods make their way onto the Workshop in the first month alone, with some of the more well-known mods being added to the Workshop in recent days. Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!
TMODLOADER 1.3 STILL AVAILABLE
Of course, the developers behind each individual Terraria mod will need to update their mods to the 1.4 era, so hang with them while that process takes place. We also realize that some older mods that are no longer in development may never make the leap to the 1.4 era. Given that, we have kept the 1.3.5 version of TML playableHow do I switch to back to 1.3 tModLoader?
1. Right click on tModLoader in Steam and select 'Properties...', then 'BETAS';2. Select '1.3-legacy' in the drop-down menu on top;
3. Close the window. You don't need to type any passwords!
WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?
One of the biggest priorities this last month has been to rapidly respond to release issues, and fix several of the bugs that users are seeing.
We hope the upcoming July stable release will fix a large portion, but we know there is still more to do and are actively working to resolve several. We appreciate everyone's patience as we pursue a better modloader!
Our other big priority this month was fleshing out tModPorter.
This custom software, bundled with tModLoader, provides the capability to quickly bring a 1.3 mod to majority ported to 1.4.
Further still, it will also be the primary tool we provide so modders can do the minor porting for code on each monthly release moving forward.
We hope that all modders take advantage of this tool to make their lives easier, and if you have improvements, don't hesitate to reach out in our discord.
As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader[github.com] (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[github.com] branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader[github.com])
PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
The team at DR Studios has been feverishly working to try and keep pace with the development of Labor of Love that is taking place on the PC side of things. Yes, in case you missed last month's State of the Game, we have already begun active development of Labor of Love for Console and Mobile. In addition, earlier in June we shared a "first look" spoiler on Mobile (which you will find below!) - the first time that brand new Terraria content/features have been shown on anything other than PC. Well, we don't want our Console Terrarians feeling left out - so here's another first look at a brand new feature coming to Terraria when Labor of Love is available...
No longer contained to blocks alone, the Banners finally broke free - able to be in full display on platforms and stairs alike!
So yeah, like we were saying, after years of playing catch-up, it is such a fun time to be able to work on Mobile (and Console) in parallel to the ongoing work on PC. What's that? You missed the Mobile spoiler earlier this month? Well, allow us to share it once again below...
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.

May? It is seriously the end of May already? 2022 is certainly on an express train in terms of how fast time is flying by! That said, we hope you are as ready for Summer as we are... and it is shaping up to be an action-packed Summer indeed! What all do we have in store? Well, time will tell - but let's kick things off the right way with our final State of the Game update before Summer 2022 is here in earnest!
PC - RE-LOGIC
CHICKEN BONES JOINS RE-LOGIC
As our team is preparing to embark on the journey that will be our second game, we realize that there are some gaps in the team's skillset that we would like to fill - as well as the overall need for more quality folks in general. With all of that in mind, it is with great pleasure that we formally announce that long-time Terraria modder and core tModLoader Team member Chicken Bones to the Re-Logic family!
Chicken Bones (CB for short) is well-known in the Minecraft modding community, and he has a long history with Terraria and modding in general. Coupled with a strong background on the Technical/Tooling side of the coding world (a big need for the team moving ahead!), he will be an invaluable addition to the team. He has already been working hard alongside our core team, with a current focus aimed primarily on the development of tModLoader and tModPorter. Once full work on our second title begins, he will be part of the core development team that will be responsible for bringing that all together!
Please join each of us in giving Chicken Bones a heart-felt welcome to Team Re-Logic!
TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE UPDATE
The Labor of Love update is getting really close to reaching the goals and vision that we have in mind for it. Does that mean we are ready to give you a launch date? Well, not just yet - but know that we are feeling like it is getting closer and closer... so not too much longer, we think. Why do we call this update Labor of Love? Well, in honor the award you all so graciously decided we were worthy of for one, but your support goes well beyond that. It has been a while since we gave a numbers update, and they are pretty staggering:
TERRARIA
TOTAL: 44.5 million units sold23 million on PC
9.1 million on Consoles
12.4 million on Mobile
45 Million soon, and then... the road to FIFTY MILLION
That is just insane, everyone. It is this support - along with just how loyal and engaged each and every one of you are that enables us to be who we are and do what we do each and every day. To say it is humbling and amazing would be beyond an understatement. So, we will once again just say thank you - sincerely, thank you from the bottom of our heart. We don't take this lightly, and we really look forward to continuing to earn your support and trust in the years to come.
Moving on with our news, if you want a glimpse into what goes into the process of how we look at release dates vs ongoing work... well, ChippyGaming has a breakdown of a recent chat Red had on Discord:
With that said, let's jump right in to more of what you can expect in the update, shall we?
In case you have missed the series of spoilers that have been shared by various members of the development team over the past month, we have compiled all of them for you below.
Town Slimes are ready to move in!
Melee is evolving... just ask the True Excalibur
Decorate your world with all the hearts and stars that your... heart... desires?
Either a scene from the Re-Logic Rave or the Empress of Light has been getting ready for Labor of Love
So much going on here... we will just let you see what you can find
Ropes and Cart Tracks, living together, mass hysteria!
Info Accessories are now more informative (or at least easier to read)
Macaws have landed in the Jungle!
Toilet Fishing? Toilet Fishing.
So all of that was shared in the last month alone... but wait, you want something new? Ok then...
- You can now exchange your pet by using another Pet License! (They can now be purchased infinitely from the Zoologist)
- Summoning Moon Lord with the Celestial Sigil now has only a 12 second summoning period instead of 60 second
- Reduced the crafting cost of Celestial Sigil from 20 of each fragment to 12
- Hive Pack now increases the fire rate of the Hornet Summon and increases the damage and defense penetration of Wasp Gun
Remember that absolutely beautiful Coral build from last month's State of the Game? Well... about that...

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM
Hello everyone!
May was one of the most productive months for TML development in quite a while! There is so much going on behind the scenes as we push ever-closer towards the release of TML 1.4. Want all of the details? Read on!
As mentioned above, we have had our busiest month in a long time, having merged almost 60 code changes - nearly double a regular month! This is all thanks to a large push from every contributor and the TML Team, so that we could deliver 1.4 in time for 1.4.4.
On June 1st, we will be changing the default version of tModLoader from 1.3 to 1.4. To be clear, this is not intended to be a full feature-rich “launch”, but rather represents the substantial step of TML 1.4 leaving Alpha and moving into a formal Continuous Release Cycle.
The current 1.3 version will remain available in a Beta Branch on Steam in order to allow players to continue to use any mods that are or do not update to the 1.4 era. Instructions on how to use this version if you so choose are located here > tModLoader guide for players · tModLoader/tModLoader Wiki[github.com]
The current 1.3 version will remain available in a Beta Branch on Steam in order to allow players to continue to use any mods that are or do not update to the 1.4 era. Instructions on how to use this version if you so choose are located here > tModLoader guide for players · tModLoader/tModLoader Wiki[github.com]
In addition, 1.4_soundfix, now known as "Sound Playback Reimplementation", has now been merged and we have eliminated the MergedTesting branch. This was holding up a few big mods, so hopefully, this will make life (and updating) easier for those teams!
Whew, that’s a lot of work done! Lots still to go… but the team is really enjoying the wave of momentum right now, excited to reach this key milestone with 1.4, and ready to get to work on what remains!

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
PARITY IS HERE - FOR NOW - BUT WHAT'S NEXT?!
We spent much of the month of May with our heads down, focused on getting fixes for the 1.4.1 - 1.4.3 update out to everyone. As of now, these fixes should be in your hands on all platforms, with the possible exception of Switch/Stadia/Amazon, which are still pending review. If you missed what all was addressed, check out the link below!
TERRARIA 1.4.1 - 1.4.3 CONSOLE/MOBILE FIXES[forums.terraria.org]
What else have we been up to? Well, exploring a few things that we still need to get in your hands (we haven't lost sight of things like Splitscreen+Online Multiplayer)... and maybe dabbling a bit into the future. What could that mean? Well, have a sneak peek then!
We will just leave you to speculate away from there... enjoy!

TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE UPDATE
The team has made a ton of progress on the Labor of Love update over the past month - and the finish line is in sight. Recently, we have been conducting a huge playthrough with the entire team alongside our trusty playtesters. What are we testing you ask? Well, it's a combination of all of the new stuff we added... and we are playing it on a brand new world seed that is unlike anything Terraria has seen before! What will await you in this new adventure? You will have to wait and see on that, I'm afraid. In the meantime, enjoy some Fart Kart...
Hey, quit crapping around! We have work to do!!
Want some more tidbits? Ok then fine...
So, we heard you all might like some Coral Furniture - something to really bring the beach home to your base. Feast your eyes on this!
Who doesn't love a good World Seed, right? And traps, everyone hates traps right? This one will totally scratch that itch for all you trap-haters out there.

Hello everyone!
Hello everyone!
We have some definite progress this month that you will want to check out - tML will be doing monthly previews starting in April... and an update on tML 1.4 timing. Want all of the details? Read on!
April has been a big month for tML and it's looking like May will be an even bigger month. Some major mods have started the port to tML 1.4, and they have provided valuable feedback in the process. We'll start May with a focus on a built-in mod porting tool, tModPorter (thanks to Chik3r and Tomat from the community!), which will automate small code changes which have to be made in thousands of places, reducing the amount of manual effort required from modders. We ask modders to keep an eye on tML development, come chat with us in the Discord, and start porting their mods to 1.4 to be ready for when tML 1.4 launches!

CONSOLE/SWITCH/MOBILE CONTENT PARITY TO 1.4.3 REMAINS THE FOCUS
Parity at last! Well at least for a little while...
That's right Console Terrarians, in case you missed it, the 1.4.1 - 1.4.3 updates went live for Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch yesterday! So, at least until Labor of Love comes out, all Terrarians are at parity in terms of the core content of the game. Want to learn more about what all is included in this latest Terraria update? Click the banner below to head over to the official launch thread to get all of the juicy details!
[forums.terraria.org]Not to be outdone, Mobile Terrarians also received the 1.4.1 - 1.4.3 update yesterday! That's right, after yesterday's events, all actively-developed platforms of Terraria are on the same content version. This has only happened once for a VERY brief time (and to be fair, Labor of Love will break it again until we can catch back up), so this is certainly a momentous occasion. Of course, once Labor of Love is out, we will begin the work to get everyone back to parity as quickly as possible.
This update also comes with official support for Mouse and Keyboard on Mobile - in case you missed that last month.
Rest assured that once Labor of Love is out, the team at DR Studios will be hard at work to once again restore parity to the world of Terraria!

Greetings Terrarians!
March already... well almost April really?! 2022 is flying by - but we are sure glad to see Spring starting to come into full bloom and with it, a lot of the plans we have been discussing in earlier States of the Game are close to coming to fruition! 1.4.3 for Consoles and Mobile (parity... at least for a time!) is right around the corner, Labor of Love draws ever-closer, and we have a lot of exciting things to come on the community and merch fronts as well. So much has already happened this year, but we are just getting warmed up.
Let's see what is in store shall we?
PC - RE-LOGIC
TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE UPDATE
The team remains hard at work on a variety of Quality of Life and Balance updates alongside some other fun additions that will be coming your way with the Labor of Love update. We often get asked what we mean by "Quality of Life" updates - versus, say fixes or new features. So, we figured now would be a good time to show off one such QOL update that we are particularly happy to see added to Terraria. It is one that is a long time in coming - and one we figure will be pretty much universally popular.
What is this wizardry?!?
Simply put, we are increasing the stack size of nearly every stackable item in the game to 9999. Please note that there are some exceptions to this, but only around 10-15 which had to be kept as-is for mechanical purposes.
This is just one of the Quality of Life upgrades that you can expect once Labor of Love arrives later this year.
What else does Labor of Love have in store? When will it arrive? Well, you will have to stay tuned to find out!

The team has been almost solely focused on the various aspects of Labor of Love now that it is in full developmental swing. That said, we are quite eager to get back onto progressing our second game - which we will do once Labor of Love is done!
TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM
Hello everyone!
Hello everyone!
We have some definite progress this month that you will want to check out - tML will be doing monthly previews starting in April... and an update on tML 1.4 timing. Want all of the details? Read on!
Moving forward, tML on Steam will have two different branches/betas: 'preview' and 'stable'. Most players on stable will be able to play without the fear of tModLoader updates breaking the game without notice. Each preview will be live for a month, giving modders time to update their mods and react to new changes, before becoming 'stable' at the end of the month. We encourage all 1.3 modders to come and start porting their mods to the preview next month! With some concerted effort, feedback and support, we hope to have the first 'stable' release of tML 1.4 in May, for Terraria 1.4's 2 year anniversary. For more info, come join us on Discord[discord.com], and watch the collaborators and [TML 1.4 ALPHA] channels!

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
CONSOLE/SWITCH/MOBILE CONTENT PARITY TO 1.4.3 REMAINS THE FOCUS
The team remains hard at work putting the finishing touches on the upcoming 1.4.1 - 1.4.3 updates for Console and Mobile. We remain fully on-track as of now to get this update in everyone's hands in April. We are very close to being able to submit to all first parties for approval - but we cannot give an exact launch window yet because we do not know how long or how many review passes any given company will want. That said, we are getting close!
To tide you over, here is a little teaser of what is coming your way (with a video from Mobile this time - but everyone will be getting the same content)... watch the cursor closely.
We are, of course, aware of some of the larger remaining bits (further KB+M work, Online+Splitscreen MP, etc) - and we still plan to get to these! Thanks so much for your feedback and reporting - with your help, we are able to fine tune and sort out issues to create a better Terraria experience for everyone!
Mobile news is much the same as the news for consoles... on track for April. Repeating that here in case you skipped straight here.
Again, it is our plan to bring Mobile and Console 1.4.1 - 1.4.3 out all together, all at once (send us your positive vibes please!) - and Mobile timing will be the same as shared above: April 2022.
COMMUNITY
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 OFFICIAL TERRARIA WIKI HAS A NEW HOME
In case you missed the news, the Official Terraria wiki has moved to https://terraria.wiki.gg/! As we shared in the news post, we made this move primarily to be able to have greater creative control over the appearance, ad content, etc. of the wiki in order to bring things together in a more consistent way for the long term. As in the past, Re-Logic receives nothing (revenue, etc) from the wiki - our involvement here is strictly to maximize the experience for the Terraria fans.
[terraria.wiki.gg]So, head on over to the new Official Terraria Wiki today, update your bookmarks, and help us spread the word about the new home for all things Terraria!
---
Just a few days later, both the Thorium and Calamity Wikis made the move to wiki.gg as well!

The Terraria Wiki has been a valuable resource to players everywhere over the nearly 11 years(!) of Terraria's history. With so much content to explore, having such a comprehensive summary of everything at your fingertips is simply fantastic. The Wiki has undergone quite a few changes over the years from its beginnings alongside Terraria Online all the way to the current iteration run by Fandom. Throughout that time, we have been so fortunate to work with a lot of awesome partners in order to evolve and maintain a strong wiki for our fans.
The time has come for the next step on the Terraria Wiki evolutionary journey! Starting today, Re-Logic is proud to announce that we are launching a new location and partner for the Official Terraria Wiki!
[terraria.wiki.gg]Moving forward, we will be partnering with the good folks at Freedom Games[www.freedom.gg] as one of the first games in their newly-launched wiki network[wiki.gg]. The new URL will be http://terraria.wiki.gg/ - and you can click on the image above to head there now!
[wiki.gg]We are making this move primarily to be able to have greater creative control over the appearance, ad content, etc. of the wiki in order to bring things together in a more consistent way for the long term. As in the past, Re-Logic receives nothing (revenue, etc) from the wiki - our involvement here is strictly to maximize the experience for the Terraria fans.
Why these folks in particular? Well, at a high level, these were the actual individuals whom were responsible (with a lot of community help, of course!!!) for building the amazing wiki that we have had over the years. For example, many of you may know or recall ReedemtheD3ad! from the Gamepedia wiki days. He is on point to help run this new wiki effort with Freedom Games, so we feel like things are in good hands here!
The Fandom wiki will remain in place as a second unofficial Wiki, and on speaking to them, it is their intent to keep it up and fully operational.
So what does this mean for you, the player?
WHAT'S DIFFERENT?
- Re-Logic has long wanted to further establish a more common "style"/look and feel across the various sites and ways in which our fans interact with Terraria. So, we have carried that through here by utilizing the style elements from our website and from our forums. In the future, we may explore "themes" like we have on the forums (Corruption, Crimson, Snow, etc) - but for now, we have used the base "Terraria" default theme as our basis.
- Ads should be less obtrusive - we are actively avoiding some of the more problematic approaches here, which we have heard are an issue loud and clear from our community.
- Ads will be "in-house", Freedom Games do not use a third party service like Google and they receive no direct revenue, they simply point to games that they publish.
- Our ability to make changes - from our own ideas or from community feedback - will be exponentially higher. Simply put, we have more control now... which means so do you.
- With a much closer relationship than in the past, we hope that this will mean faster updating as new content, etc. arrives.
- We will be adding a link to the wiki from inside the game on PC. This already exists on Console/Mobile, but all links will be updated as soon as possible.
WHAT REMAINS THE SAME?
- The starting point for the new Official Terraria Wiki will be the current form of the past wiki. You will find all of the old information there - so no need to reinvent the wheel or be worried that the important tip for how to beat that seemingly-impossible boss will be gone. We have done our best to ensure that all of that information made the journey over.
- As mentioned above, the top management team of the Gamepedia wiki days are here... so there are some very familiar faces. Don't be a stranger!
- The rules, etc. should be more or less the same as in the past.
- The Fandom Wiki will continue to be in place as it has in the past - we do not have any issues with this, and think it will remain as a good additional option for folks.
WHAT DO WE NEED FROM YOU?
- We need your help in establishing our new Official Terraria Wiki as the place to go for Terraria information! Make it your go-to spot, update your favorites, and be sure to link to/from the new wiki when chatting with each other about Terraria!
- We need your help in editing and creating new content for the Wiki as time moves on.
- Most importantly, we need your feedback! The enhanced ability to make tweaks and changes, etc. means nothing unless we are making it a better wiki for all of you. We have created a special thread here on our Forums for you to provide that feedback. Alternatively, you can join in on the discussion directly with the team over at the Official Terraria Wiki Discord. The team will be sure to read and consider everything you suggest.
Official Terraria Wiki Feedback Thread on TCF
[forums.terraria.org]That's it, everyone - we hope that this feels like a good move for the Terraria Community in the long term. Once we get through this initial transition phase, we look forward to helping to provide an amazing Terraria Wiki experience that will better serve you all for years to come! Have any questions or concerns? Leave us a note here in this thread.
Cheers!
