Official Get Wired For Terraria 1.3.1: Calling All Terrarian Mechanics!

Ha! That Ajidot is amazing! Woop woop! More wiring =/= More FUN! I will suggest some things soon!

My ideas edited into this post:
More (Colored) wrenches and Colored Wrench Changes:
Wrench (Material)
Black Wrench
White Wrench
Yellow wrench
CHANGES: (I hope this is not already implemented, I don't think it is)
Mechanic now only sells blank wrench for the price of a Red Wrench. You craft any colored wrench by hand with a Wrench.
Old "Wrench" is now "Red Wrench." (Wrench doesn't feel like a word anymore...)

More (Non-colored) wrenches
Antlion Wrench:
Crafted with 5 Antlion Mandibles, 50 sand, and 1 Wrench.
Reaches 8 additional tiles, 25% faster placement speed. Uses up Sand Wire.
Shadow/Bloody Wrench:
Crafted with 12 Corrupt/Crimson bars, and a Wrench
Reaches 12 additional tiles, and 12% faster placement speed. Uses Evil Wire.
Holy Wrench:
Crafted with 12 Hallowed Bars and a Wrench
Reaches to the edge of the screen, and has 25% faster placement speed. Uses Holy Wire.
Lunar Wrench:
Crafted with 14 Luminite bars and 1 wrench.
Reaches to the edge of the screen and has a 30% faster movement speed. Uses holy/regular wire.
Ultimate Wrench:
Crafted with every wrench, colored and uncolored, and the material Wrench (Wrench)
Reaches to the edge of the screen and has a 75% faster placement speed. Uses any wire, and you can change it by right clicking it (It changes through the sprites, if that's possible)

More wires:
Sand wire: 40 sand, 200 wire - 200 Sand Wire - Used by Antlion Wrench and sends connections 10% faster
Evil Wire - Crafted with 1 crimson/corrupt bar, 100 wire - 100 Evil Wire - Used by Corrupt/Bloody Wrench - Used to make Evil Connections
Holy Wire - Crafted with 1 Hallow bar, 100 wire - 100 Holy Wire - Used by Holy Wrench - Used to make Holy Connections

More actuators:
Transporter - Crafted with 50 Actuators - Makes solid walls, but still actuated (They appear solid, but you can go through them)
One-way glass - Crafted with 50 actuators - Makes non-solid non-actuated walls (They appear nonsolid, but you can't go through them)

Evil Connections:
Evil switch - Works like regular switch, but gives you Shadow Dodge for 20 seconds. Works every 15 minutes (You can use it as much as you want, but you only get the buff every 15 minutes) - Crafted with 20 switches and 1 Crimson/corrupt bar - Makes 20.
Evil lever - Same as evil switch, but a lever. - Crafted with 20 levers and 1 crimson/corrupt bar - makes 20

Holy Connections:
Holy switch - Same as evil switch, but buffs you with lifeforce for 5 minutes and you can only use every 20 minutes - Crafted with 20 switches and 1 hallow bar - makes 20
Holy lever - Same as holy switch, but with levers - Crafted with 20 levers and 1 hallowed bar - Makes 20

Wireless Stamp
'Stamps in wireless transmitters'
Uses wire
When placed, a textbox (Similar to that of a sign, but smaller) that has 9 spaces. You then copy that into another one and they're connected.

Mechanic's Workbench
Sold from Mechanic for 2 gold.
Crafts all mechanical items except color wrenches.

You can now craft wire at a Mechanic's Workshop for 1 tin/copper - Makes 50.

 

Cool! I think it would be amazing to have Snickerbobble's florescent beams as another option to use in place of wires. If done right, they could be used to make simple logic gates since they have clear on/off states.

Edit: I guess I'll add my other ideas here too:

• A device that creates fluid when it gets a signal (and another that can drain fluid)
• A silver wrench that places silver wires and consumes 5 silver coins for each wire. Cutting the wires would give you back the coins you used to place them.
• A tool that could easily change blocks to their inactive states, and an accessory that could let the player place inactive blocks.

 

I looked at the front page and go "What!?"
This is amazing!

 

I hope more bug fixes of Steam Cloud

 

@ZeroGravitas

You're a master at engineering man, this update is for you.

 

Exciting! How about Logic Gates? Look into the system in the PS3 game LittleBigPlanet 2, it's really neat!

 

I'll just leave this here: http://www.terrariaonline.com/threa...solution-to-wire-based-logic-circuits.135929/

 

Here's a suggestion I made a while back that got a lot of attention, and it's roughly related to wiring and crap like that.

Just an idea

 

It'd be great to have transmitters that acted like wires but sent signals to receivers of the same colour or something, so you don't have to wire something across the whole world.

 

Switches and Gates, something i love from starbound is how they managed to do wiring.
Stuff like Inverters and cosmetic objects that can be activated to activate wiring.
Latch
Not Switch
Or Switch
And Switch
X Or Switch
Timer
Countdown Timer
Delay

omg yes. I'd love to see some wiring based on light

 

THIS, PLEASE, I have been wating this since wiring was implemented....

 

Someone suggested on the Subreddit for that long distance wire placing you should have a wire-kite string. I'm bad at explaining so here's the thread

Right now teleporters aren't really worth it because it just takes so much time and pain.

 

I'm not good with these kinds of things...I'll just sit back and watch.

 

It would make the system better if you added wireless connections. That way you wouldn't have to spend ages building a line of wires to the other side of the map for teleporters. You could use specific codes to link wireless points. It would be better if you made them too expensive to be worth using on a small scale, so it can't be practically useful for building a wire across a single room.

 

Well... Maybe add two more wrenches? Yellow and Black? They place down Black and Yellow wires.

Please don't sing the song.
