Terraria Armor Dye Simulator (TADS)
I think the armor set pages (crimson armor, hallowed armor, frost armor) could have a Dye Simulator. like, each dye has its own button that when pressed, dyes the whole armor that color. or like, you enter a color in a text box beside each piece, and press a button labeled "Dye it!" and the piece is dyed that color! I thought this up when I was nearly run over. I should throw myself up in front of cars more often! ha! (no I shoudn't)

I bet nobody will agree with me. maybe somebody should make a program for this. I'm sure we can work this is java script, right? maybe. I have no idea! -- Robstar14 16:17, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Good idea. -- Reno 17:08, 05 August 2014 (EST)

I "third" that idea! Nerman8r (talk) 16:41, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Corrupted player?
Just wanting to ask this for my friend, in the character selection, it is red colored and unclickable, do this means his character is corrupt?

possibly. no your computer you should go to Documents,My games,Terraria,Players and then the characters folder. with a world file the world and the back up will have "bad" at the end meaning that the world data is messed up. it might be the same with players.

This hardly seems like the place to be asking for tech support. Anyone mind if I delete this? Nerman8r (talk) 16:42, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Generally we don't delete stuff from talk pages, except outright vandalism or things like that. It's also worth noting that you're responding to conversations from almost half a year ago; please check the dates before posting in reply to talk pages. Gearzein (talk) 16:46, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Alright, but be aware that it creates a precedent. If people see others getting tech support here, they'll post more topics about tech support, because of normative influence. Nerman8r (talk) 17:02, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm aware. In my experience, deleting comments means they either get re-added or repeated down the line. There's no problem with small instances of support- telling someone what version an edition of the game is currently on or how to find a page here isn't a big deal. For everything else we direct people to the forums- not just "block them and hope for the best" but specifically direct them to a place where their issue can be resolved, if possible. That's what's been done elsewhere on the wiki, including this page.
 * This may not have been policy a year ago when the original comment was made, so my primary concern was that comment being responded to a year later and the precedent it sets to repeat that action. Talk pages are meant to be a record of discussion and ideally remain as unaltered as possible, which is why they're committed to archive rather than wiped, but at the moment this page isn't long enough to dump into a second archive.

Add mount page
Add Mounts page to main page?

I think this is a good idea since pets have been added to the main page but I don't know how to do that... --66.214.76.114 03:35, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

I think it's a good idea to add Mounts to the main page, but.....there is not much space in there. The main page should contain only the most common things and basic information. Mounts may not be that important to be shown in main page. -- MrGlowing (talk) 17:33, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Fan theories in trivia sections
Nearly every item page has a point in its trivia section speculating(with no evidence) that the topical item is a reference to something; Many of these theories are very tenuous. It's nothing but gossip and has no place in a wiki.
 * There are several users (myself included) who often remove such dubious trivia, though unfortunately it seems to pile up even faster. If you want you could make an account and remove trivia you find inappropriate yourself. NoseOfCthulhu (talk) 01:43, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Link
In the section "Environment", the link to "snow" leads to a disambiguation page.
 * Seems it has been fixed. NoseOfCthulhu (talk) 13:46, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

How can I create it into Spanish?
Hello! The wiki is translated intp Spanish (http://terraria.gamepedia.com/Terraria_Wiki/es) but how can I create http://terraria-es.gamepedia.com/Terraria_Wiki ? Regards! --Ryo567 (talk) 13:28, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how that's done yet. I put in a request with another admin who probably knows and I'll report back.  Equazcion ( talk ) 13:33, 8 Dec 2014 (UTC)

Okay, thanks a lot! --Ryo567 (talk) 13:35, 8 December 2014 (UTC)


 * It seems that this probably can't happen until all of the links on the main page at least are translated. In other words, the links on this page should all lead to fully translated Spanish articles. Once that happens, I can request that everything get moved to a separate Spanish wiki. Sorry the news wasn't better :(  Equazcion ( talk ) 14:04, 8 Dec 2014 (UTC)

Ah... okay! I understand! Thanks for your attention! Regards! :) --Ryo567 (talk) 14:08, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Meteorite heads
Hey guys, I have placed 50+ meteorite and the heads are not spawning I have no idea what is happening.

Bug with goblin tinkerer
Hey guys, for some reasons I couldn't reforge my new terra blade with the gloving tinkerer (ios version). When I drag the terra blad on the spot to reforge, the block just turns red and couldn't reforge it. Any help?
 * The wiki's not a good place to put bugs since the developers don't read it. I'd tell you to report this at the mobile bug report forums but it seems to be pretty well known by this point. Some people are reporting that a 1.2.1.1 fix has come out, so try updating. Other than that, we can't really help you. Gearzein (talk) 04:41, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Asking about tizonas and high damage for other people wondering
I was wondering if I could make a tizona in the ios version and how. I also want to know what weapon does the most damage. Thank you203.206.39.149 05:43, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, since this is a wiki and all, you could try looking up Tizona or checking the List of weapons. Normally we route questions to the forums, since this isn't really a place for discussion, but all of that information is readily available here. All you have to do is look.

Mushroom bed
I'm trying to make a mushroom bed but it's not showing up in my crafting menu. I have 15 glowing mushrooms and 5 silk. I'm standing at my sawmill yet nothing. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
 * Seems to work for me. You might want to post this question at the forum, you're likely to get more answers there. Equazcion  ( talk ) 23:33, 9 Jan 2015 (UTC)

When's Fishhook
My friend and me on Xbox just wanted to know when the fish hook is coming on xbox
 * Fish Hook was introduced in 1.2.4, so it's a few updates off. For future reference, though, you'd be better off asking this sort of question on the forums. Gearzein (talk) 14:26, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Breakable background
I suggest the creation of a page who speaks about the breakable background and what can they drops... Lightg4 (talk) 19:25, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
 * That would be Ambient objects. It could probably be made more accessible, but it's hard to find ways to give pages more visibility. Gearzein (talk) 21:25, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

The Undead Miner is missing
The Undead Miner is missing in the rare enemies section. --  Dinoxel  discussion  12:05, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Item exponential growth exploit.
This is an exploit: if you wish to play in Re-Logic's intended manner, do not use this. Currently, the world save and character save happen at two different moments in game. Character save is pretty much automatic, to prevent Hardcore saves from being prevented upon death. World save, however, seems to only happen when you Save and Exit. Knowing this, I devised an experiment, and my results led me to this exploit. You could save an item into a chest by saving and exiting. Then, upon returning to the game, take the item from the chest, then close the program by forcing it to close (right click icon to close, end process via task manager). Doing this causes the game to leave you with the items in your inventory, and in the chest. Repeat this, and you could exponentially grow the amount you had by a factor of 2 to the power of the amount of times you did this. For instance, if you repeat this 10 times, you will multiply your total number of the items by 1024 (2^10). This means potentially gaining infinite stacks of Platinum coins, ores, armor sets, etc. I know this method is irrelevant, because you can just character edit, and bam, everything I said can be yours. The catch is that technically, my method is "vanilla", requiring no download to achieve it.
 * I believe this is already noted on the Making money guide. --0icke0 (talk) 09:28, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Discount Card
Possibly, add a buy price that shows how much the item is worth with the Discount Card equipped. I think it would be helpful.
 * It's a flat 20% discount, the math isn't that difficult. It's not feasible to calculate out every instance of a percentage on the wiki. Gearzein (talk) 01:11, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

i deleted my game data by accident and was hoping there were some gamers out the on xbox that could help me with some donations comment gamer tags
 * The wiki can't provide you with any technical support and isn't a place for social gatherings. You'll have to consult the official discussion forums for help like this. Gearzein (talk) 22:14, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

addition to main page & update
It would be great to add the Giant Tortoise to the Hardmode enemy section. The section could also use an alphabetizing. Looks wonky as hell w the Giant Fungus Bulb in the C's. Some other names are also off.

Also, aren't the Consoles all on v1.2.2 now with their latest update? Main page still says 1.2.1.2. Next, I like the consolidation work ya did w Enemies on the Main page (slimes, mummies, etc.).

Tier page
It would be nice to have a page listing all the various tiers of equipment that gives a rough idea of which are better than others. I would find it very helpful, at least. If there's something like this that I missed, I apologize. Nerman8r (talk) 17:02, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
