Other Just a couple quality of life ideas

[Nooch]

A little while ago I began coming up with ideas for what I'd like to see In Terraria, and no doubt what other people would like to see as well, so below I'm gonna put a few ideas I had:

-Make Quad racers able to be blown up by traps, boulders and when touching liquids (maybe there could be an optional way to have this happen but it would allow making quad racer obstacel courses more exciting and thrilling)

-a new variant of wool block or coloured block, this way we can have a larger variety of blocks for building flags and circus tents, rather than having to paint large quantities

-maybe we could have slab variants of ore bricks? Similar to the stone slab but with a different shine and colours, perfect for mixing gold with marble or making giant dance floors

-a semi transparent Gem brick? Same colours as the gems but in brick form?

-Spooky wood trees, maybe we can get the dirt they grow on from some sort of complex crafting, with specific requirements to prevent farming the spooky wood

-Around Halloween the natural growing pumpkins should sometimes have faces!

-Around Christmas the trees should have tinsel and decorations in them

-More fish vanities from fishing? Like a turtle, a shark, a squid (no, not moonlord)... maybe even the new pyfferfish? any more? (I just love the fish costume)

-Hard mode version of the reader shark? Equivalent to a molten pic but caught in hardmode

-More infinite ammo bags?

-rat summons! (Mentioned in a previous post of mine)


Of course any ideas I post here are just me spitballing, and if anyone wants to build or expand on my ideas I invite you to! This community is great at helping eachother out and if people want to help me out I'd be happy to listen.

more ideas!

-Circus themed blocks (coloured tent blocks, tent walls! a post block that functions as a woodtype!)

-Magic themed furniture (Sol Furniture, Luna Furniture, each with a repective sun/moon somehow embedded into them)

-Mystical vanity sets, Sniper Vanity sets... Boss Vanity sets?

-More fish vanity ideas! (Urchin, Clam, Piranha, Ray?, eel?)

-eating too many apples in one go poisons you a lot! (Same with eating too many bananas!)

-Poop furniture! (Also Mentioned in another post)

-toggleable lanterns and lamps, where the colour can be changed by interacting with a unique moss! (example, Helium moss would make the fire in the lanterns rainbow!)

-Dripping pipes that drip whatever liquid is behind them, making those small waterfalls, but on the end of blocks (i mentioned this in another post but my idea is that one end of the pipe would sit in a liquid and a waterfall would appear at the other end of the pipe, allowing for longer pipes and waterfalls that dont have to be leaking out of walls)

-Mould block (and respective furniture... i want to make a really cool sewer)

-more variants of the living leaf/wood wands, with respective colours (Hallowed leaves would be every colour that hallowed trees could be)

-a graveyard block (made of 20 graves but only takes up one block space and can be turned on and off with wires. makes the surrounding area a graveyard when activated)

-a crafting station for builders allowing making certain things accessible to build without the need for a crystal ball (Starry blocks, waterfall blocks. etc)

-being able to put Animals in minecarfts.. and maybe Npcs?

-speaking of which, a placeable minecart, that can be filled up with an ore to display it out the top (good for building mining operations)

-more web themed blocks an furniture? (saves making giant spider nests out of one block?)

-an option to have a pet/animal on your head.. not like a hat, just sitting there, so you can carry it around?

-more fish bowls (for like.. cod and tuna.. and maybe quest fish if we somehow end up with spares... (could make for a good aquarium)

-new idea.. aquarium block (similar to the waterfall wall except it just shows water with fish swimming in it (can be right clicked with different fish to change which ones are displayed?)


once again this is just me spitballing here, i will not hold it against the devs if i dont see any of these ideas added or anything, because i understand it must be difficult to make such a game and please EVERYONE in the community. if anyone wants to build off these ideas, feel free to discuss it with me, im always looking to bring new things to people and hopefully come up with something interesting.

I have some Valentines day ideas!
On Valentines day the following may happen:
-Arrows get converted to Heart arrows
-the travelling merchant could maybe sell a resprited pulse bow called "Cupids Bow"
-All Npcs have the love effect on them
-The party girl sells Valentines cards which can be placed on the ground similar to a sign and written on
-Fishing power gets increased and you may fish up a new rod Called "Plenty of Fish" with the flavour text "(In the sea)" this rod would have 35% fishing power and would apply the Love effect to jearvy entities when cast
-A new potion can be brought from the travelling merchant called "The heartbreak" which gives nearvy entities the stink effect.


Just spitballing, feel free to build off these ideas

A little while ago I began coming up with ideas for what I'd like to see In Terraria, and no doubt what other people would like to see as well, so below I'm gonna put a few ideas I had:

i'll delete ideas i think "yeah i guess that can be here" or "i don't quite know if the devs would add this because it's effort for something not entirely needed"

-maybe we could have slab variants of ore bricks? Similar to the stone slab but with a different shine and colours, perfect for mixing gold with marble or making giant dance floors

hammering blocks

-Spooky wood trees, maybe we can get the dirt they grow on from some sort of complex crafting, with specific requirements to prevent farming the spooky wood

why prevent the farming? just let it be ! so long as you can't get it pre plantera (pre golem even) it's fine.

-More infinite ammo bags?

a little too powerful, and mostly unnecessary, infinite musket balls/arrows are designed to be those simple ways of having ammo to spare without having to re-buy or craft them

-a graveyard block (made of 20 graves but only takes up one block space and can be turned on and off with wires. makes the surrounding area a graveyard when activated)

yes please, maybe called "cemetary" and takes up space = to the average house size

-a crafting station for builders allowing making certain things accessible to build without the need for a crystal ball (Starry blocks, waterfall blocks. etc)

ehhh, i'd say some stuff should be locked behind progression, while yet it's just blocks it's also something that generally makes sense, and if you want a full on building world you wouldn't just make a new character to start building

-being able to put Animals in minecarfts.. and maybe Npcs?

not really useful, don't understand the point here.

-speaking of which, a placeable minecart, that can be filled up with an ore to display it out the top (good for building mining operations)

i can see this as also a cool way to make better mineshaft aesthetics

-an option to have a pet/animal on your head.. not like a hat, just sitting there, so you can carry it around?

hammering blocks

No, its like how we have stone slab blocks that are more smooth variants, so not the minecraft slab.

 

[Moth to the Lampshade]

More fish vanities from fishing? Like a turtle, a shark, a squid (no, not moonlord)... maybe even the new pyfferfish? any more? (I just love the fish costume)

On GetFixedBoi, it should just actually have a chance to fish up the Moon Lord. It would despawn after a minute or two though, so that hardcore runs wouldn’t just end.

My ideas are simply meant to be aesthetics or not game breaking, some may just be helpful, but fr a lot it's just for people who love building like me, hence the spooky trees and putting entities in minecarts

I feel like it would still immediately end hard-core runs anyway, haha

Came up with a few more ideas:
-More plants, maybe even a replica plantera bulb that won't summon the boss when broken...

-leading me to this new idea, replica boss summons (Placeable shadow orbs, crimson hearts, bee larvae etc.)

-More peaceable head for enemies that don't do much, but will look cool (a Skeleton head could occasionally play a jumping animation as you get close as if it's trying to attack you, and a zombie head could play a bite animation?

-What about enemies that won't drop heads? Well I also think there should be "Cage blocks" and "Enemy Bottles" (Crafted out of lead bars/Bottle, depending on what enemy you are trying to capture, and the enemies respective drops. These would look like large cages, or Bottle that could be hung or placed on the ground displaying the enemies sprite within, perhaps the sprite can show it trying to break out occasionally to no avail) I think this would be good for arenas

-A new shimmer-fall back wall and a Blood-Fall back wall.

-Some deeper paints that make the block a colour more akin to the colour of say.. genspark blocks (as sometimes paints will not come up as the correct hue)

-This could also be exchanged for a paint hue changer that would change the hue of already painted blocks if you painted over them again, making them darker, and changing them back to brighter with a paint scraper

-a few more critters? (Little tarantula, a passive slime that tries to flee the player, skeleton hands? Eels and Sea urchins?)

-Skeletal versions of the 3 base town pets for halloween (Skeleton dog, Cat, and rabbit, but maybe some other version such as a cerebus sprite or the dog and a cat with a witches hat? Maybe a magician bunny?)

-A raft mount that can float on water and increase fishing power?

-a version of cloud blocks that fall up?

-a secret seed where gravity is reversed?

-an accessories rack to hand accessories from (could even hang them on the hat rack?)

-a "Spitting fish" which could be a critter in the jungle that doesn't hurt you, but can spit water at you or insects?

-Rain frog for desert

-more space critters?

-a chance for a world ocean to spawn with a large coral reef made of reef blocks and coral-stone? (Could even change the ocean chests to reef chests?)

-a few hell variants of critters and a change to the lava slime once hardmode starts where a spikey variant with rocks poking out would start spawning?

-Rock golems should have a ground pound attack?

Those are just a few ideas I'm tossing around, if there's any feedback let me know, and feel free to build off them

 

[MoultonLava]

-Arrows get converted to Heart arrows

There is a good reason why they got removed- They were way too busted. Being able to stop almost any enemy in the game in their tracks? Busted. I do like all the other ideas, but Heart Arrows should not exist anymore.

i didnt realise thats what the love effect did

 

[MoultonLava]

Yeah, heart arrows cheesed the entire game. Only enemy immune to it was Duke Fishron.

 

[Nooch]

ahh they can be overlooked then

 

[Nooch]

few small ideas:

-Bottomless Liquid Bucket (can be right clicked like the shellphone to change the liquid it summons, needs every liquid bucket to be made)
-Rock golem heads can grow herb flowers and potentially potted plants
-Rock golem head have can have flower on a player or armour stand that can be changed depedning on the wornd dye

They could just be changed too given the stun effect couldn’t work on bosses (a lot of modded weapons effects don’t work on bosses due to one shot kills etc)

Good idea, did you have a stun effect in mind? I will add it to the next list of ideas I post and then credit it to you if you want?

Hmm I’m guessing it could inflict slowness to the target to replicate a “stun” effect
