CRATER DEMON
"A survivor bearing scars from the old wars that plagued the Moon long ago."

MOON BEAST
"A simple cosmic slaver, trading humans and other inferior creatures, in exchange for precious metals and gemstones."

WAR MACHINE
"One of the old Martian battle mechanoids, built to combat the dreaded sandworm."

Currently the Moon is the only celestial body that can be visited, as the mod is very new. In addition the mod's forum page is incomplete and many assets have yet to be created.
Other celestial bodies will be added as development on the mod continues.
After the Moon is complete, the next celestial body to be visited will be Mars.

We thank you for your continual support and patience, without you this mod would not be possible.

this is going to be a poggers mod

 

[Tiger Festival]

Wow this is going to turn Terraria into Starbound. This will be epic! Good luck man I hope you pull through this mod.

Thank you! It is definitely going to be one wild ride making a mod this large, and I hope to provide a fun experience for people who play it once it's released.

This looks really neat. Could you show how the moon currently looks?

Doesn't look like much. Amber has coded a simple worldgen for the lunar regolith, which adds some hills and craters, but regolith is all we have so far.
The background is the ExampleMod background but grayscale, the sky is jet black, and the regolith looks like a gray-ish sand.

Dis be awesome I can’t wait

 

[RayNature]

Looks dope, can't to see what'll come next

 

[Unftf]

Looks interesting, might I ask how you (will) be able to travel to other planets?
Is it a giant world map or do you use multiple world files were the player can travel in between?
Or is it a endless world file which generates during discovery?

You will be able to travel from planet to planet using a subworld spacecraft. The ship will be able to travel across the solar system using a fuel system, instead of each planet being unlocked once you defeat a certain boss.

Thank you for response but I still didn't got it. I meant how you implement this in Terraria. Will each planet be in the same .wld file or do you e.g teleport by using the space craft from you earth .wld file to a space.wld and if you enter the moon to moon.wld.
Or is the planet size scaled down so it does fit in a large (8400 x 4800) .wld file?

the subworlds are created using a library mod called Subworld Library, it basically allows modders to create worlds connected to a main world. Basically all the subworlds are in their own .wld and .twld files but the path is "Worlds\Subworlds\[NameOfMainWorld]\" instead of just "Worlds\"
You can't create subworlds on the create world menu, you can enter them by doing/using/interacting with something in a main world, for example using an item.
Subworlds can be any size up to the largest world size, the modder has freedom to set whatever they want for them, however one person can't be in a subworld and another on the main world since Terraria can't handle keeping track of multiple worlds at once, if you enter a subworld, everyone enters it in multiplayer by voting.

¡Me gusta la idea! buena suerte con tu proyecto

Ah Ok, got it. Didn't knew about this subworld library mod. Thanks for detailed description.
Also had some mod ideas containing multiple worlds but didn't found any way to (quickly) implement this. Also got some space travel ideas but thats too much work too implement.
Will definitively play this mod.

Can you give us an update with your progress?

 

[LadyLone]

I've found out about this from the TModNews Discord. What this mod intends to do sounds quite awesome. Very few mods add subworlds or a focus on exploration. Starbound did come to mind and that existing is probably why very few Terraria mods focus on space stuff. Still, I would be very interested in a Terraria take on this, mainly in how fantasy elements will factor into the solar system.

The scope for this mod sounds massive. I do hope good pacing is in place, like say, focusing on one celestial body at at time and getting that out. It sounds like it, with the moon being worked on now, just so there isn't burnout and the whole mod falling apart.

Progress sadly is not going as well as we would've liked, with our two AI coders starting to get burnt out. Coding is what we are in dire need as of now. However, the Moon's worldgen has steadily improved.

 

[Dark Sunshine]

This is awesome, I love the idea of outer space being included. I look forward to seeing how far this gets!

 

[DV Game]

like these mods with using of subworld lib.
the idea is pretty interesting, would check it out when it releases.

P.S. that subworld lib is amazing right? but how you and your team would deal with the Pre-Underworld bg bug? just won't make subworlds too big? or wait until new ver releases?

It's not a big deal. Lots of mods take time to get to where they're at. I think Thorium, Calamity and Spirit for instance took a few years to get to where they're are now. If you need help with coding, you can always go to the TmodLoader Discord server, there is LOTS of very good coders and mod developers there, you're bound to find some people willing to help. Good luck man.
