The Destroyer
This post is an ongoing project, intended to be the most comprehensive list of reference materials and inspiring mechanical/wiring builds in Terraria. It has only really been thrown together, so please suggest how this could be better organised. Many apologies if there's no mention of your great stuff yet! Please :)post your links below of the best, most concise, most helpful, detailed sources of information out there! Just one item or 2 dozen would be helpful, or recompile these links in an order you prefer. Mention things you can't currently find, or just plain request information...

shouldn't we remove the section for Terraria Online? That re-directs to this forum now and the content is non-existent.
Yeah, my whole links list page was outdated well before I disappeared. Actually, the WayBackMachine has cached some (perhaps all) of the old Terraria Online pages (e.g. [WIP] Wire Compilation). But not any of the embedded images, that I've seen.

If anyone wants to re-jig the above links to point to working archived pages (and post the result below), I'll be happy to paste in in above. Or if anyone makes a brand new resources list thread, I'll pin to the top of T-MEC forum. A well ordered index of the contents of the group, even, seeing as it's a little tough to search through. Message me direct though (as I'm unlikely to see mention alerts, mixed in with dozens of other notifications I don't generally read, currently). ;)

Im not sure if you saw my forum post on it, but i semi-recently joined TMEC and discovered some really fun interactions between Mounts and Hoiks, that dont quite make sense to me, but i feel like they should be linked here (not sure if you are still going to update the links here)
