Desiccation is a new mod in development which focuses on adding new content to Terraria at most stages of the game, also providing new gameplay mechanics such as over-equipping, weighted inventory, an info bar, ammo preview and much much more!

Planned Mechanics
NOTE: These are bound to change at any time

Completed:

-Weighted inventory
Simulates weight; when inventory is more full than half, your player is encumbered, and vice versa.

-Auto team join

-Skippable DD2 event wave cooldown timer

(had to IL edit this)

-Eerie messages
Eerie messages will be sent to the chat at random times trying to send a shiver down your spine

(Getting Reworked)

-Player death respawn timer

-Tool tooltip rework

Tools will still get melee related boosts/effects
(tool damage has been removed)

-Main menu rework

This can be instantly turned off in the mod's config.
The text in the top left corner cannot be disabled.
This will not work with Overhaul currently.
(Getting Reworked)

-Music boxes in vanity
With Desiccation, music boxes will work when equipped into the vanity slot. Hasn't everyone wanted this at some point...

-Cacti deal damage
Cacti will now deal 7-10 damaged when touched by the player. The player will also get knocked back.
(Getting Removed)

-Resources items won't consume when their resource is full
Resources such as hearts, stars, and even Thorium's musical notes will not consume when their respective resource is full.

-Remove favorite tooltip
The favorite tooltip will be disabled because if you're using Terraria mods, you should know what favoriting an item does... right?
(Default off in config)
