1.3.6 Preview: Block Swap

[Redknight910]

I highly doubt they'll drop any teased features. They're taking so long to release it so that it's all in on release.

Why would they ?

There is absolutely zero chance of that happening. The Devs have stated that they started relying on it to the point that they have trouble playing the current version now

I'm sure after a few weeks of using it, most of us will feel the same.

Absolutely. I'll probably never play any of the ports again specifically for that reason lmao

Block swapping is something I've always wanted, so for me after just a few hours I'd never be able to go back

It’s like the same as vein miner. I find it really hard to mine without it now

Edit:
I have been doing a deathmode playthrough with my friend, I have found that I can mine without it now. Who knew...

At this I really want the block swap so I don't have to tear down my house.

this is really cool but how does that work with higher pickaxe power blocks?

The block swap works at the same speed a the pickaxe in your inventory, so to swap with Lihzahrd brick you need at least a picksaw.

This is going to help a WHOLE lot. Especially with being able to swap chests and keep the items. Keep up the good work guys!

wait so if you use a modded pickaxe with like 999 speed then...

who didn't need an entire guide NPC sheet?

No one needs that. Please don't post things like that again. Thanks.

 

[TerrariaGeek401]

Holy freaking wow. This is such a great mechanic that will change the game SO MUCH. I love it.

 

[Phoenix-Mask]

Really love to finaly have this although i kinda think it's sad that it doesn't work with sand

 

[Redknight910]

Agreed, though you can replace it with other physics affected blocks, it's still kind of annoying.
