Template:MainpagePost/1.3 Spoilers

Hello Terrarians!

As the first part of an ongoing launch event for the new Terraria Community Forums, Cenx released a bunch of new information concerning the upcoming 1.3 update, including images!

NPCs
The image to the right is an example of some of the upcoming changes to NPCs, namely the introduction of new animations and interactions with placed furniture.

In addition to these new animations, the next update was stated to contain improved AI (eg. the Merchant will no longer stand in front of Chests and Piggy Banks anymore) and visual makeovers for all NPCs.

Worldgen
More subtly, some changes have been introduced to worldgen.

The changes called out in the thread include new "minibiomes" to discover and changes to make starting areas "cleaned up and smarter".

Other
In the second post of the spoiler thread, some final miscellaneous bits of information were released:
 * The Crimson is getting some attention in the upcoming update.
 * Stairs will be placed automatically when smart cursor is enabled.

See the gallery at the bottom of this page for the remainder of the images associated with these spoilers, or check the full thread here!
