Other My suggestion. A blood moon for corruption worlds

[zombe]

So I’ve been thinking of this idea for a while and it’s to have a different blood moon. It could be called like the corrupt moon and it would only happen on corruption worlds while blood moons would happen on crimson worlds. They could each have there own engines like the blood moon would have the current enemies it has while corrupt moon would have enemies exclusive to that. I think I’m asking for too much but it would be cool to see something like this.

 

[Depressed 0wl]

Why? It doesn't really add much to the game, and blood moons work really well the way they are.

Agreed. It didn’t make much sense how since the Crimson is blood-themed and so are the Blood Moons, yet Blood Moons occur in both Crimson and Corruption worlds.

Yeah that’s exactly why I said this is for that reason. Also finally someone agrees with this idea.

I wonder how this would work in the drunk world seed with both world evils? Would blood moons and shadow moons be equally likely?

Additionally, what if there was a Hallowed Moon event that occurred in Hardmode as well?

Yeah that actually would be cool too

Now we just have to pray a dev sees this idea

I don’t feel like this change makes a lot of sense. The event doesn’t really have that much of a connection to the evil biomes. It’s just a lunar eclipse. And blood moons and the crimson are blood themed for entirely different reasons.

Just make it a blue moon
Haha get it cuz the saying "once in a blue mo-"
Yeah I'll stop now.

Well I'll get the obvious thing out of the way first
Blood Moons are based on a real event. Irl we call them Lunar Eclipses, where the Earth's Shadow passes over the Moon, resulting in a red color, hence the name "Blood Moon".
Blood Moons aren't connected to the Crimson, for the record, not everything red/bloody or purple/vile relates to the Crimson or Corruption, for example, Night's Edge isn't a Corruption weapon, rather, a "Demon" weapon, as it shares similar colors to Dark Lance and Demon Scythe.
I don't have much more to say about this, I could definitely see interesting content being added, but then you'd have add some sort of way to get a Blood Moon in Corruption Worlds for Completionists Sake, and Solar Eclipses are also based on a real event... a Solar Eclipse, so I dunno, it could be interesting but seems overly tedious for adding what doesn't seem to be meaningful content, in my opinion, especially because Terraria actually sticking to real world events is well, cool, as the world acting like that is actually accurate and a "Shadow Moon" wouldn't make sense in a scientific way(I know Terraria has barely anything science related, but Blood Moons are Solar Eclipses are from real life and in another world would act the same way, it's impossible for it to act differently), as Blood Moons are indeed, just a real life phenomenon, breaking that seems counterintuitive.

Extremely sorry if this comes off too harsh or rude, I don't want to.

Blue moon prt 2 haha
No seriously I'll stop.


Real life phenomenon go brr

As far as I can tell, the only argument for this to be added is "Blood Moon is red, and red = the Crimson." But Blood Moons predate the Crimson by several updates. Even if they didn't, this suggestion wouldn't make sense. Literally nothing else ties the Blood Moon to the Crimson.

So it seems like no one agrees with me… we’ll it was worth a shot

I mean the actual blood moon is enough, and i don't see why that should get added. It won't add much to the game.
