Talk:Minimap

Does the minimap update for events that aren't seen, like a meteorite falling or entering hardmode? I know the NPCs movement is tracked, so I'm really curious if other things update too. (Ex. A meteorite falls- I've seen the area it's fallen on before. Can I see the actual meteorite on the map before I discover it by actually finding it on screen?)

- No. It will not.

I want to know if it's worth the trouble of going through the whole map surface THEN trying to get a meteorite. But it would also be nice to know if it updates when hardmode is activated too. I guess this would include multiplayer, are changes by other players updated? --71.191.38.158 03:34, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

I know from experience that it will update when hardmode activates as well as when hardmode ores spawn even if you aren't there. I can't confirm anything else, but I know that much. --72.83.33.87 03:41, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Can we have a section regaurding the odd pictures shown whenever you zoom all the way out of full-screen mode? Like this. They appear to be different every time you go into a new biome. For example, this is what I got when I went into a snow biome.

This needs to be updated with mobile content.
