Terrarian
Hello! I'm efhosci. I've been amazed at the quality of Terraria mods for a long time, and they've added hundreds of hours of playtime for me. I feel like it's time I give a little back. So here are a few mods which I hope you might find at least somewhat interesting.
Red Text means not implemented yet, but hopefully soon.
Dart Expansion
Simple Auto Chests
See here for an updated 1.4.3 version by Mudkip Matt! He will eventually be doing a total rework of the code, I won't be continuing any development on this mod.
Pillar Items Plus
Thanks to GameRaiders101 for trying out this mod in his series!
Thanks for checking out my mods, let me know if you have any balance or content suggestions!
Red Text means not implemented yet, but hopefully soon.

Dart Expansion is designed to expand the selection of dart-based weapons in Terraria. It includes the following weapons, armors, and ammunition:
Double Pipe
- Made with two blowpipes and silver/tungsten bars.

- Made with Hellstone and Obsidian
- Fires three darts at once
Atlatl
- Made with rich mahogany, obsidian, and mythril/orichalcum.

Simple Auto Chests
See here for an updated 1.4.3 version by Mudkip Matt! He will eventually be doing a total rework of the code, I won't be continuing any development on this mod.
This mod provides a bare-bones method for automating the collection of some common items. The contents of these special chests are updated every in-game morning. The code is intelligent enough to stack items correctly. Note that this mod is, at its core, somewhat of a cheat mod. It's up to you to decide what constitutes an unfair advantage with these.
I'm taking submissions for better chest sprites as well. If you want to try making some better looking chests, post it in the thread and I'll credit you whether or not I end up using them.

1.1.2 - Updated chest code to hopefully fix bugs in multiplayer
Future Plans
- Complete the Fishing chest. While I've implemented a version of this, it doesn't really "simulate" fishing like I'd hoped it would. The coding for this would be really complicated, so I will work on it in another update. I've found the section of code that controls the fishing results; it's in the "Projectile.cs" module under FishingCheck(). Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to simply call this from my mod directly, and I'll have to copy the relevant parts into my own code. This would also mean no modded fish can be caught unless I hardcode them in.
- Better sprites. These are all just recolors of the Example Chest for now, but it would be nice to have the tiles look more unique and more like machines. Animations would also be nice, but I've heard there are problems with animations on chests, so that may not be possible.
- as always, balancing and bug fixing.

{-Giant-Fire-Dog-}'s Insect Breeder
Bait Gatherer
- Made with Chest, Grasshopper Statue, Worm Statue, and Dirt
- Collects bait items, based on what kind of terrarium/jar you put in the first slot.
- Output is boosted if you include a Golden Bug Net or Flower Boots
Block Gatherer
- Made with Chest, Heavy Workbench, Stone Slabs, and Nightmare/Deathbringer Pickaxe
- Collects Stone, Dirt, and Clay
- Can be used to convert stone into ice, marble, or granite; dirt into sand or snow, and clay into silt or slush
Boss Farmer
- Made with Gold Chest, Demonite/Crimtane Bars, Gold Coins, Ironskin Potions, Regeneration Potions, all Pre-Hardmode boss summon items, and Wooden Platforms
- Will consume boss summon items and may output their drops/treasure bags
- Success chance is based on the strength of any armor/weapons placed in the chest
Math details:
All summonable vanilla bosses (and some events) are given a "boss power" rating. The chest will also look through its inventory and create an "equipment power" rating based on the weapon and armor pieces it finds. The success rate is given by the following formula:
Victory Chance = 0.5 * tanh( (boss - equip) / Avg(boss, equip) ) + 0.5
This gives a function that goes to zero if boss > equip and goes to 1 if equip > boss. When the equip = boss, there should be a 50% victory chance. The power of equipment is given by the following formula:
Equip Power = (item rarity + 2) ^ sqrt(item rarity + 2)
This makes each rarity tier roughly twice as powerful as the last. Unfortunately, a lot of armors share the same tiers while being relatively more/less powerful (ex. Wood armor and Platinum armor). There's not really a better way to quantify the strength of armor and weapons; while properties like damage and defense can be used, there are also factors like the number of projectiles, debuffs applied, homing ability, and other special effects which could skew the results. Accessories are even worse, so I probably won't include those. I may implement some more factors like these later, but it's not ever going to be a perfect simulation.
Here's the list of boss strengths:
Slime King: 10
Eye of Cthulhu: 16
Eater of Worlds: 30
Brain of Cthulhu: 40
Queen Bee: 50
Skeletron: 60
Wall of Flesh: 160
Pirate Invasion: 300
Destroyer: 450
Twins: 600
Skeletron Prime: 850
Golem: 5000
Fishron: 6000
Pumpkin Moon: 8000
Frost Moon: 10000
Moon Lord: 23000
Old One's Army: 60 (T1), 1000 (T2), 15000 (T3)
And here's the power of a full set (armor + weapon) of each rarity tier, and the general types of items:
White (Wood-Platinum) = 10.64
Blue (Demonite/Crimtane) = 26.8
Green (Dungeon items) = 64
Orange (Jungle and Hellstone) = 144
Red (Cobalt - Titanium) = 322.2
Pink (Hallowed) = 688.6
Light Purple (Not much in this tier) = 1433.6
Lime (Chlorophyte) = 2916
Yellow (Moon event items) = 5812
Cyan (Lunar fragment items) = 11372
Red (Moon Lord drops) = 21900
Max possible strength = 26809
Remember that this is not designed to replace having to fight the boss initially, but just to automate it only when you are well past its tier, so reliably killing the bosses may seem to require equipment stronger than you would usually use to fight them.
Also includes bosses from the following mods:
Thorium:
Thunderbird: 10
Jellyfish: 50
Viscount: 65
Granite Storm/Buried Champion: 80
Star Scouter: 120
Borean Strider: 400

Devourer of Gods: 26000

Andas: 23000
- The item rarity system doesn't work well for post-Moon Lord bosses and items, so all of the post-Moon Lord bosses have the same strength. That means they can be beat with the same gear, which isn't really what's intended. Be honest with yourself about which ones you are really able to farm at your stage of the game. Or not. It's your game, do what you like.

- The item rarity system doesn't work well for post-Moon Lord bosses and items, so all of the post-Moon Lord bosses have the same strength. That means they can be beat with the same gear, which isn't really what's intended. Be honest with yourself about which ones you are really able to farm at your stage of the game. Or not. It's your game, do what you like.

Future Plans
- Complete the Fishing chest. While I've implemented a version of this, it doesn't really "simulate" fishing like I'd hoped it would. The coding for this would be really complicated, so I will work on it in another update. I've found the section of code that controls the fishing results; it's in the "Projectile.cs" module under FishingCheck(). Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to simply call this from my mod directly, and I'll have to copy the relevant parts into my own code. This would also mean no modded fish can be caught unless I hardcode them in.
- Better sprites. These are all just recolors of the Example Chest for now, but it would be nice to have the tiles look more unique and more like machines. Animations would also be nice, but I've heard there are problems with animations on chests, so that may not be possible.
- as always, balancing and bug fixing.

Pillar Items Plus
Thanks to GameRaiders101 for trying out this mod in his series!
This is mostly an idea at the moment. This mod will include weapons made out of pillar fragments which don't match their normal categories. Here are some of the weapon I'm planning on including:
Solar Yoyo (Aphelion)
- "Aphelion" refers to the furthest point from the sun in a solar orbit
- Sprays sparks which cause 'Daybroken'.
Vortex Scythe (Void Scythe)
- Creates a Vilethorn-like rift in space
Nebula Flail (Screptum Carinae)
- "Screptum" is Latin for mace, and "Eta Carinae" is a prominent nearby nebula
- Leaves damaging flames in its wake
Stardust Whip (Seven Sisters' Sting)
- The "Seven Sisters" refers to the Pleiades, a nearby star cluster
- launched barbs which create a small explosion, and leave lingering star fragments
Solar Magic (Solar Flare)
- Creates a Magic Missile-like projectile which explodes into a shower of sparks.
- Increased power the longer it is held.
Nebula Mortar (Messier Mortar)
- Charles Messier was an astronomer who cataloged many astronomical objects, known as "Messier objects".
- Lobs a nebula grenade a medium distance
- Leaves damaging flames at the impact point
- Increased speed and power the longer it is held
Stardust Flamethrower (Starthrower)
- Sprays stardust, which inflicts 'Celled' on enemies
Solar Railgun (?)
- Fires a very powerful, piercing shot
- Projectile explodes when it hits an enemy or a block
Vortex Shotgun (Gauss Repeater)
- Fires several darts at once
- Redundant with my Dart Expansion Mod. I might just have it fire bullets or otherwise rework this.
Solar/Universal Summon (Accretion Disc)
- Creates a large, stationary disc which fires homing projectiles
- Absorbs some projectiles which hit it
- Slowly loses size over time, but size can be regained by absorbing projectiles
Solar Throwing (Solas)
- throws three linked projectiles which stick to enemies, slowing them and causing 'Daybroken'.
Vortex Throwing (Alien Mine)
- throws a mine which sticks to tiles
- explodes when an enemy gets close, similar to Proximity Mine Launcher
Nebula Cocktail (?)
- throws a bottle of nebula flames, similar to Molotov Cocktail
Updates
0.1 - Release
0.1.1 - Fixed some bugs with the Messier Mortar
0.1.2 - Changed the "nebula flames" effect on some of the weapons
Improved some of the visual effects
Assorted balancing changes
0.1.3 - Balance changes, update to Terraria 1.3.4
0.1.4 - Fixed a whoopsie
0.1.5 - Updated for tModloader 0.9.1
0.1.6 - Updated for tModloader 0.10.0.1
0.1.7 - Updated for tModloader 0.10.0.2
Some of these have been coded to be functional, if somewhat lackluster and a bit unbalanced. The really hard ones (Solas, Accretion Disk, the nebula "flames" effect) haven't been started to any real degree. I'll work on these as I have time.
