The Star Breaker
Steampunker
Hello and welcome to my portfolio!
I made this portfolio to keep track of some tweaks to the game as it is and ideas I've came up with which I think will be a fun addition to the game.
I wanted to add some finishing touches to the game in the form of changes to items, features, unfinished or lacking areas of the game, etc. But I also often find myself thinking about brand new items, enemies, features and so on. So I ended up listed both changes and ideas for new content here.
Even though Journey's End is the final content update for the game, I enjoy coming up with ideas and will continue updating this portfolio from time to time.

There are so many weapons to use in a playthrough that i'd wish i could use more of them while not cluttering my inventory with 5+ weapons to use at one time, i'll only use 3 of them at most. I suggest adding more tiers of progression - more content around mech bosses to golem, so players can have more opportunities to use different weapons.
They don't need to provide many drops in term of weapons, but just some useful equipment, potions or delving more into some unexplored parts of the game like Cannons, Musical Items, Upgrades to NPC weapons/expanded shops/ more options to click when talking to some NPCs etc.
Here's suggestions for more fights/content:
New Post-all mech bosses invasion, The Troupe. It will always appear at the beginning of the next day after you've defeated your third mechanical bosses.
It unlocks a new Joker/ Jester/ Clown NPC.
Skill Trader NPC - takes in gems as currency for a trade.
Desert Mimic (opposite of the snow mimic) Or make this and the snow mimic similar to the Evil Biome mimics and Hallowed mimics.
Lihzarhd Mimic
Artificial mini biome - Junkyard
Overhauls

New Post-all mech bosses invasion, The Troupe. It will always appear at the beginning of the next day after you've defeated your third mechanical bosses.
It unlocks a new Joker/ Jester/ Clown NPC.

Lihzarhd Mimic
Artificial mini biome - Junkyard
Overhauls
- Marble Biome - Underground Marble Coliseum. Large biome, comparable to Granite. A few more enemies.
- Granite Biome - Hanging lights. Lights from cores, and from cracks in the background. A few more enemies.
- Floating Islands - 1 more mob and 1 unique flotaing castle structure, in sky, horizontally positioned between the Snow Biome and the Dungeon.
- Lihzarhd Temple - More enemies, and a few more challenges in the templer aside from traps. As it is now it reminds me of hoe the Eclipse in 1.2 had only a few enemies but then got overhauled to something completely different.
- Ocean
- Post-HM Underworld
- Post-HM Desert
- Post-HM Snow Biome
- Some NPCs
- Skeleton Merchant - His only point in HM is to get the Yoyo Glove + Counterweight and maybe the Slap Hand for fun.
- Angler - Give accessory rewards for fishing more consistantly + he's rarely utilized in HM
- Merchant - not all that useful in HM
- Fishing in post-HM isn't as useful as in Pre-HM

- Ice Skates
- Increases movement speed by 5%

- Make Flesh Knuckles and Putried Scent obtainable in worlds with the opposite evil biome, or be able to summon Crimson and Corruption Mimics in any world but under some conditions
- Give them the Panic Knecklace and Band of Starpower treatment
- Cannons
- Fire without holding the cannonballs, just have them in your inventory.
- Buffed by the Shroomite Launcher Helmet.
- Pierce through multiple enemies.
- Have small AoE effect.
- You can wire multiple cannons, when you shoot with one of them, the other wired cannons shoot automatically as well.
- Oiled debuff
- Make it easier for bosses to get this debuff.
- I suggest an alt fire to all Explosive Trap Sentries, you through the trap/mine with your hand and if it hits an enemy, a boss for example, they get the Oiled debuff.
- Make the Tax Collector give you more money
- The more the game progresses, similar to how the nurse charges more
- Make it so you can't equip accessories that don't stack with each other and which are the same or ones an upgrade to the other
- E.g. : Celestial Shell with any of its tinkers
- E.g.: Monk's Belt, Squire's Shield, Huntress's Buckler, Apprentice's Scarf
- Make the Rocket Boots and tinkers + Soaring Insignia combo synergize better, so you can play around with rocket boots flight only - without wings.
- Also if you're using the Terraspark Boots, have a special interaction that grants you the Dunerider Boots' super sprint (on any surface) - in expert mode we have infinite flight post empress, will super sprint boots be too broken?
- Sprite updates
- All torches, unicorn horn, shurikens, daggers, Pharoahs Set, feral claws, rubble and decorative skulls in cavern layer caves, minishark
- All torches and unicorn horns look like sticks - it's not really aesthetically pleasing - they can look better if they look like cones.
- Many feet in the game look like triangles, but Leinforses leggings/fancypants look like actual feet. This is a pretty big change that isn't really worth it, but i'd like more leggings in the game to look like Leinforses.
- Add a placeable functionality to some accessories, similar to the Rock Golem Head
- Lucky Horseshoe
- All Boot accessories
- All Quivers
- All Gloves
- Change all instances of "minion damage" to "summon damage", since whips and sentries also benefit from so called "minion damage"
- Make wearing a Mining Helmet without a full mining set increase the spawnrate of Undead Miners
- Minions
- When you're running away from a boss, some minions will quit attacking the boss and attempt to return to you instead, even though the boss is right next to them.
- I think this is by design and this might actually be a bad change but i'd like more high-tier minions to be able to attack the bosses even while they're coming back to you.
- Merchant
- Make some often used materials and items sold by the Merchant post-HM
- Maybe sells specific materials based on the biome he is in, or the can sell copies of materials you have in your inventory, similar to how the Arms Dealer sells unique ammunition when you hold the the corresponding weapon, or how the Demolitionist sells you more Wet Bombs.
- Thorn Bush Hazards
- Most other hazards deal very high damage, but thorns don't. How about increasing their damage so they become more of a threat?
- Maybe double their damage in each difficulty, x2 in Expert, x4 in Master, x8 in for the Worthy (base damage for Evil Biome thorns is 10, and jungle thorns is 25).
- Place Piggy Banks, Water Candles and such on blocks, not just on platforms.
- Increase the drop rate of all Pearls from Oysters - it's almost impossible to get Pink Pearls.
- Make Water Chests more common.
- I don't know how to explain this but the slime hitboxes from specific angles are very weird, you don't hit them with whips and other weapons when yo uthink yo ushould. Maybe its because of the sloped blocks.
- Wet bombs, unique ammunition/unique weapons, other consumable items which you have and can be mass produced by NPCs.
- Add a tooltip to all these items or the weapons themselves that you can go to X NPC to mass-produce this item/the ammunition for this weapon.
- For example, for the Wet Bombs it can write "Can be mass produced by the Demolitionist when you bring this to him".
- Make it so when you pick up a duplicate of a weapon that's already in your inventory, if possible, make it not go to your hotbar.
- Common materials (Mushrooms, Stingers, Jungle Spores, Vertabrae, Rotten Chunk, Pixie Dust etc.)
- Stackable to 999
- Spears
- They're rather underused past the early game
- Give them an alt-fire - throw them, or spin them like the Sleepy Octopod
- Or give them more crit chance and or armor penetration and longer range.
- Or give some the ability to pass through walls
- Remove starter items (throwing knives, lesser healing potions, glowsticks) in endgame chests (Lihzahrd and Biome chests) and instead replace them with high tier potions (Lifeforce, Rage, Wrath so you can get them in Crimson/Corruption worlds, Greater Luck Potions, Potion of Return, Golden Delight, and more Gold Coins)
- Change auto select while mining blocks such that it ignores blocks you cannot mine/blocks which you don't have sufficient mining power for
- This makes mining Spikes in the Pre-HM Dungeon and in the Jungle Temple much easier
- Remove random Demonite/Crimnite ore throughout the world. It's rare and a few chunks of demonite aren't enough for anything.
- Possessed Armor spawns Wraith/Ghost on death
- Signs
- Currently you cannot move with arrow keys through typed text in the sign
- I'd like there to be a way to save changes to signs faster. For example - sign saves the changes when you click Esc
- Dye Plants
- Auto select doesn't really work with dye plants, since they're just 1 block. Make it so its easier for auto select to detect dye plants/other 1 block things.
- Quickstack/Deposit/Restock from Money Through/Void Vault/Safe/Defenders Forge
- When you pick up an item which you alread have in your void vault and it is stackable, qucik stack the picked up item to the stack in the void bag
- Wyverns won't spawn during boss battles.
- Add a message in the middle of the day to remind that the travelling merchant is waiting for the player. Sometimes i forget he arrived.
New Features
Accessory Swap
Low health signaling
Auto-buff
Spawn enemies from the Bestiary in Journey Mode
Create a few, new unique prefixes for minionss and sentries, for example
Hints for events, items, bosses for new players.
Changes
Be able to place furniture and blocks even if town NPCs are in the way.
If 2 town NPCs are in the same spot, either make a way to move one of them or to talk to whichever one you want.
Keep items favorited after you've asked the guide about using it for crafting.
Move through the text in chat and in signs with the arrow keys.
Make the names of the items you're holding, that appear above your hotbar, have the same color as their rarity.
Make Stealth affect accessories more.
Give archer cultist icons on the minimap.
Zombies with zombie arms are a cool idea for enemies and I'd like to see some more enemies like them. Perhaps give some skeletons in the hardmode dungeon spears/lances?
Make it so only one person can edit a sign at a time.
Default settings for locked/unlocked hot bar.
Default option for the minimap in the settings (Whether its closed, small or full screen).
Small inconsistancies
Accessory Swap
I'm fine with the recent change to the vanity accessory slots, but I think it would be best if there's a new feature to replace it, just like how Torch God was added so you can automatically place the correct biome torches.
Add a new feature that lets you swap out accessories better than before, here are my solutions:
- Swapping out accessories/armors by having them in your hotbar and clicking on them.
- What if you want to replace an accessory in a specific slot? I suggest the order in which you swap out accessories is backwards of your hotbar, hotbar's slot 0 = 1st accessory, slot 9 = 2nd accessory, slot 8 = 3rd accessory and so on.
- Previously mentioned Switch Gloves (New Content -> Items). Swap out however many armor pieces and accessories that you desire with just 1 click! Or instead of an item, make it a feature in the game.
Low health signaling
An easily noticeable but not distracting way of signaling low health. The player closing their eyes slightly isn't the most noticeable thing.
Here are some suggestions I came up with:
- Players health bar or a exclamation point appears above their head at low health
- The player starts flashing in red on low health or during invincibility frames
- Colors change near the edges of your screen/ make it red or maybe even customizable
Auto-buff
- When your buff potions wear off and you're still in an event or boss battle- the buffs are automatically consumed without you needing to press buff.
- Avoids lose of max health from the Lifeforce potion and despawning of a minion from the Summoner potion.
- No more forgetting to drink potions with short durations like Magic Power and Ale.
- Enable/disable option for auto-buff during bosses and another option for events in settings.
Spawn enemies from the Bestiary in Journey Mode
- You must have revealed all information about the mob before you can summon it AND you must have defeated Moon Lord
- You can also summon NPCs and bosses this way
Create a few, new unique prefixes for minionss and sentries, for example
- Perfected: +20% damage and decent knockback
- Primal: +5% damage and a lot of knockback
Hints for events, items, bosses for new players.
Toggleable at the Guide
Changes
Be able to place furniture and blocks even if town NPCs are in the way.
If 2 town NPCs are in the same spot, either make a way to move one of them or to talk to whichever one you want.
I suggest two speech bubbles pop up - one for each npc - you click the speech bubble of the npc you want to talk to
Or you can emote and one of them will be forced to move towards you. The other one won't move
Items that have fallen outside of the edges of the world are moved into your inventory, just like how banners are put into your inventory.Keep items favorited after you've asked the guide about using it for crafting.
Move through the text in chat and in signs with the arrow keys.
Make the names of the items you're holding, that appear above your hotbar, have the same color as their rarity.
Make Stealth affect accessories more.
Give archer cultist icons on the minimap.
After hitting archer cultists accidentally you know where they run off to.
Zombies with zombie arms are a cool idea for enemies and I'd like to see some more enemies like them. Perhaps give some skeletons in the hardmode dungeon spears/lances?
Make it so only one person can edit a sign at a time.
Default settings for locked/unlocked hot bar.
Default option for the minimap in the settings (Whether its closed, small or full screen).
Small inconsistancies
- You can only move your map up with "space", even if you've changed your "Up" button.
- You can fall through liquids while water walking.
- There are times when I fall through liquids even with water walking on. I think it's because of slanted blocks.
- When I have a full inventory and I'm fishing, when I catch a Bomb Fish or Frostdagger fish, only 1 is dropped, not multiples.
- Sometimes Life Fruits disappear after hitting them.
- Yoyos sometimes glitch through walls if they are too close to you - the yoyo goes through the wall and comes back to you.
- If you unlock your hotbar in multiplayer and save and exit, this change won't be saved the next time you enter multiplayer.
- It stays locked in single player.
Any creative criticism is welcome!
Thank you for your time.
