User:Ferretwings/Old-gen mobile version

The Old-gen mobile version of Terraria was published by in collaboration with both Codeglue and RakNet. It is a port of the PC 1.2.4.1 version, which was developed by Re-Logic. This version contains exclusive content not available on other versions, including enemies, achievements, music tracks and Music Boxes, armor, weapons, pets, and a boss, but most exclusive content is also available on the.

It runs on Android devices, iOS devices, Amazon devices, and Windows Mobile devices.

Due to hardware requirement issues and memory constraints, this version cannot receive significant updates past the 1.2.4.1 equivalent.

The following content was removed from all mobile platforms, except the Windows Phone version, with the release of Mobile 1.3.0.7. Apart from these, all content exclusive to the (except for the Zapinator) is also present. In theory the Golden Seaweed and Shiny Black Slab items are also obtainable on Windows Phone, but would have to be obtained though trade from the pre-1.3.0.7 Amazon Fire TV version and pre-1.3.0.7  Android version, respectively. The Windows Phone version also contains the features for the Chinese New Year event, however this event is unimplemented and the features do not appear during gameplay.

This version is currently equivalent (roughly) to 1.2.4.1. It also has some content that is not included in other versions, including Enemies, Bosses, Pets, and Weapons.
 * Some 1.3.0.1 content has also been implemented into the Mobile version, see Mobile Version history for details.

See the mobile FAQ maintained by 505 Games for some technical tips.

Any player who previously downloaded 1.3, but could not play (crashing, etc.) due to being below min spec, can now "go back" to 1.2 by 'updating' their game back down to the 1.2 version.
 * This only applies to players in this situation (&lt;iOS 10), there is no support for "swapping versions" outside of this.
 * This is being done because there is no way that the game can be made stable on such old/low spec devices - even with the new graphics settings. We want you to have a playable game first and foremost - and so you can choose to downgrade to 1.2 if your 1.3 is unstable.
 * If you choose to do this, you will see the follow message. Simply tap "Download" to downgrade your game to 1.2.

Minimap Day and night cycle
 * See Minimap § Mobile Minimap Pre 1.3
 * Short, dynamic nights in pre-Hardmode. In order to accommodate the shorter play times that mobile game sessions tend to entail, day and night last for shorter overall periods, and boss or event fights can cause the day or night period to extend in order to offer players more time to complete them. However once Hardmode begins, the day and night cycle will progress at the same speed as in other versions. Pre-Hardmode daytime is 15 minutes whereas nighttime is 9 minutes.
