New Era Mode
So this is my blog for the New Era Mode I talked about in my post. Enjoy!

New Era Mode Requirments.
So this is the Mode after Hardmode, it does not so much change in actual difficulty, but it certainly does change the game. It is started after you get the Scientist Npc. How do you do this? Easy. Kind of. You see, you must make a computer. This is done by collecting 5 Wires, 35 Adimantium Bars, 20 Iron Bars, 2 Glass, and 10 Crystal Shards. It can be placed on a table or workbench. It is something one interacts with, like the Sign. Right clicking it opens up a sort of menu, in which on can tell it is an E-mail. This is actually a Hardmode object, but is needed to enter the New Era mode. It allows for E-mails to be sent to your character, from Npc's. For example, the Merchant might have found a rare object that you might be interested in. He'll E-mail you about it. A computer DOES NOT have to be present in the Npc's house for them to be able to E-mail you. Anyways, after you read the E-mail, you will have a certain amount of time to go and buy that object from him. The E-mail could also be used to message people in seperate games! (Maybe, I'm still iffy on that idea, but it would definantly be cool to see it in the game) So basicaly, you get a HUGE new feature in the game. Eventually, however, you would get an E-mail from a mysterious person. The Scientist. He tells you that he has found a shocking discovery about the world, and requests sanctuary with you immeadiatly. This E-mail requires that you have ALL Npc's, have defeated all of the Hardmode bosses, and have had a computer for 72 hours in real time. After those requirments are met, you get the E-mail, and can go save him.

The Scientist.
The Scientists purpose adds sort of a story line to Terraria, about as much as the Dryad does with the world status. He can be found on any one of the random floating islands in the world after you get the E-mail from him. New Era Mode does not start until you un-bind him. (He is found bound up inside the building on the floating island)

After he moves into the house you built for him, (All requirments must be met, and it must have a computer inside of it.) he tells you that the Underworld is rising from below, and will soon take over the world. You must either find a way to stop it, or avoid it. He tells you that he will work on some blueprints for some objects that will help. He sends you an E-mail for each object he invents, giving instructions on what you require to build it. One of the first few things he invents are a fan, an engine, metal plating, and a control panel. These are vital for survival in this New Era.

New Content.
The New Era Mode introduces a lot of new features into the game, and also gives it more of a Steampunk feel. Iron and Copper play a HUGE role in it, becoming the main building material for almost all furniture and accesories. Metal bricks, Copper pipes, Metal Plating, etc. (Those are all mostly aesthetical) All made with Iron or Copper. Guns also play a bigger role. Instead of chests and pots having mostly arrows in it, you will find Musket Balls in it. There will be new guns, and other awesome features.
