Mod version: 0.8
tModLoader version: 0.6
Alloys Aplenty is a mod that spices up the early game by adding several new gems and metals to play with. It's not quite done I but I feel like it's a point where it adds enough to the game for it to be enjoyable! (At least, I find it enjoyable )
I'm not really happy with a couple of the sprites (bronze tools/armor and the gem robes). Suggestions on how to fix those up are more than welcome. And any feedback on the mod in general would be very much appreciated!
Features
There are seven new alloys added by this mod, four of which can be crafted into weapons, tools, and armor.
In addition, four new gems spawn in the world (well, they will when that becomes possible):
Since the gems cannot yet generate naturally, a temporary workaround I have implemented is to make the gems drop from per-hardmode mobs in their respective biomes (ie quartz drops from antlion enemies, peridot from granite golems, etc).
Metals and gems can be crafted into most of the standard vanilla items:
In addition, garnet, peridot, and opal can be used to craft red, green, and multicolored stained glass walls respectively.
Recipes for all items are just like their vanilla counterparts, with the biggest difference being that bronze equipment is slightly cheaper.
For those who likes stats and tables and stuff, here's a spreadsheet formatted similar to the pages on the Terraria wiki.
This mod also makes all eight vanilla metal bar recipes require three ore.
Download/Installation
First, download and install tModLoader if you haven't already. Make sure you have the version listed at the top of this page.
Then, either:
a) Open Terraria, click "Mod Browser" on the main menu, and find "Alloys Aplenty" in the list.
OR
b) Download the mod directly by clicking here, then drag it into the "ModLoader\Mods" folder in the Terraria folder on your computer. (On Windows, the default location is C:\Users\<yourname>\Documents\My Games\Terraria\ModLoader\Mods).
To-Do List
There's still a few features I want to add before I call it done, some aren't yet possible in the current version of tModLoader.
- Shortswords
- Grappling hooks
- Gem torches
- Metal bricks
- Metal Chandeliers
- Fix how placed metal bars work.
Thanks for checking out the mod and I hope you enjoy it!
