How can players obtain the Steampunker wings in Terraria?

In Terraria, players can obtain the Steampunker wings by purchasing them from the Steampunker NPC after defeating Golem. These wings are available in Hardmode and allow the player to fly temporarily by pressing and holding the jump key. Flight time is reset when the player rests on solid objects, including both standing on blocks and using climbing items like Ropes, Hooks, Shoe Spikes, and Climbing Claws.

What are some tips for building a steampunk house in Terraria?

Building a steampunk house in Terraria can be a fun and creative endeavor! You'll want to incorporate elements that reflect the steampunk aesthetic. This includes using materials like cogs, pipes, and gears, which can be crafted using the Steampunk Boiler, a special crafting station sold by the Steampunker. You might also consider adding wings to your house design for that extra steampunk flair. Remember, the key to a great steampunk house is a blend of Victorian elegance with industrial machinery. Happy building!

Notes

• The Steampunker's move-in requirements do not expressly require a world to be in Hardmode. Summoning and defeating a mechanical boss in a pre-Hardmode world will allow the Steampunker to move in, though this can only be legitimately achieved by carrying over resources from an existing Hardmode world.
  • If summoned into a pre-Hardmode world this way, the Steampunker will not sell Cogs or the Steampunk Minecart until Hardmode has been attained in the given world.
• Re-defeating the Eye of Cthulhu and Eater of Worlds/Brain of Cthulhu may be necessary to buy the Steampunk Boiler after the Steampunker arrives.
• The Steampunker does not sell Dark Blue Solution if moved to the Glowing Mushroom biome. It is sold by the Truffle instead.

  • If the Steampunker is killed, she will drop the Ivy if her name was Whitney.
• The name Minerva is a reference to the Roman goddess of handicrafts and wisdom.
• The name Zelda may be a reference to the Nintendo game series The Legend of Zelda.
• The name Ada is a reference to the 19th century English mathematician and writer Ada Lovelace, who pioneered work on Charles Babbage's "computer."
• One of the Steampunker's quotes regarding the Pirate comments states that he seems to be "pretty well over the bay," which is a 19th century Celtic phrase meaning drunk.

• Her quote, "I'm mighty curious about that <name of Cyborg> fellow. By what manner of consumption does he maintain such locomotion?" implies that she doesn't know the Cyborg very well, despite the Bestiary entry for the Cyborg stating that he was built with the combined efforts of the Mechanic and the Steampunker.

The Bestiary entry for the Steampunker: "The Steampunker has a particular taste for steam-fueled machinery and gadgets. She sells her gizmos with an endearing accent."
