Wait, wait, WAIT. Are you telling me that it's now canon Terraria lore that the MECHANIC built the Mech Bosses?!? *Explodes*
You know what? Let's settle with what worked for 8 years: Terraria has no official lore.
I'm truly disappointed, this "lore" has so many plotholes it's bleeding out the moment you start reading it. ReLogic does everything in their power to disappoint the playerbase - SDMG and Celebration are the prime examples there -, but they truly outdid themselves this time.
This is so shockingly bad it took me half a month to gather my thoughts about this. This is basicly the worst fanfiction I've read about Terraria so far, including the one time I have ran into some written mature content about Terraria.
I'm not calling this "canon", no way it's gonna happen. You can't pay me enough.
#1 News flash, we are not the good guys!
This lore calls us the champion, really original. However the lore fails to have any connection with whatever happens in the game:
We are basicly hitler and stalin incarnate in the world of Terraria.
- Sacrificing a benevolent character alive.
- Grinding living creatures.
- Strip mining.
- Actively destroying entire ecosystems by removing their biomes.
- Releasing every single malevolent force upon the unfortunate planet we can.
We are so evil, Santa has a separate list for terrarians.
Plot twist, Santa-NK1 is the true hero of the story.
#2 The Dryad is also evil, I guess
The Dryad is supposed to be an ancient defender of Terraria, but she's hellbent on a crusade against the Crimson and Corruption, trying to spread the Hallow. The world tries to maintain balance, the Dryad is actively going against the will of this sentient world.
She is actively trying to kill the planet. If that doesn't put you on Santa's worst girl list, nothing does.
#3 Plothole for the sake of plotholes and other weird shenanigans
If the worlds of Terraria can sense everything upon them and the more agressive biomes are its tools for self defense. Why do these biome enemies kill rabbits and critters? Are critters inherently evil? Are critters possessing some sort of hidden power that could ruin the world?
Unicorns are bloodthirsty homocidal maniacs. I like that, that's the only original idea in this whole mess.
The Moonlord can't invade Terraria as long as the cultists live, which means the last guardians of Terraria are basicly the cultists themselves.
The mechanic is mentioned to be building cybernetic parts for Cthulhu, but she doesn't have a clue about cybernetics. The only NPCs who have any understanding of advanced machinery are the Steampunker and the Cyborg. The Mechanic doesn't have a single line that relates to this, quite the opposite, she was dying down there. Not forced to work and kept alive. Dying.
Nothing makes sense. Nothing connects to the game.
Almost everyone could write better than this. Even a random analphabet hobo from the streets can beat this level.
TLDR;
Terraria has an official non-canon joke lore now.
Edit:
Please, don't ask for that. This text is really stupid, anyone who cares about the story behind the game wants to stay away from this mess. We don't want to see or hear this ingame.
The SDMG and the Celebration are the Moonlord ranged weapon drops. They underperform everything, included pre-MoonLord weapons in every single way. While the mages got a life desintegration laser, we got a low DPS dolphin that eats ammo for breakfast and a firework launcher that has the lowest range, accuracy and the low end of DPS of all rocket weapons. Joke weapons. Nothing else, but joke weapons.I agree with most of the thing you said, but I don't think that Relogic is doing everything they can to disappoint the playerbase because they released a really fun 1.3, they listen to the community, and they fix bugs and other glitches. This lore is really disappointing (I also am derping and cant remember what the celebration and SGMD are so I can't comment on them). But I don't feel that you should hate them in there entirety just because they made some mistakes. And anyways you can ignore the majority of their mistakes because they don't directly impact the game in a major way(I think), and hopefully they never will.
Okay... I'm beginning to think you need to take a break from the game. The SDMG has always seemed like a good weapon to me. And the Last Prism eats Mana like nobody's business. You rangers can hold 999x4 ammo in specialized slots, and a pouch that gives literally infinite ammo, while mages don't get any of that for mana potions, on top of the Mana Sickness debuff. Besides, the Last Prism isn't even all that good compared to the Nebula weapons. Yes, Celebration is considered kind of a joke, but if I recall they already said they were going to fix that in 1.3.6.The SDMG and the Celebration are the Moonlord ranged weapon drops.

We got trolled so hard, while everyone else got some nice weapons to play with.
Get hyped for new weapons.
Get trolled.
They really are trying their best to disappoint me and they are doing extremely well at it.
Traps all the time. I was excited to read about lore. Got trolled again.
That's ReLogic in a nutshell.
Never get hyped for anything in Terraria. Never. It's all going to be disappointment incarnate. Whenever 1.3.6 releases I'll have to make a copy of the old version before Steam updates.
I learned from my mistakes.
1.3.6 will be inferior to the already existing modded versions of the game in every aspect before tModLoader gets updated.
The same goes for the lore here.
We have some headcanon and fan theories already better than this. I'll stick to those. We just have to consider what to take as a canon instead of the official joke lore.
It's fine to provide constructive criticism, but acting like the dev team committed a crime is not needed.This is going off topic quite fast.
Anyways, my point is, this is not my canon story that's 100% sure and I prefer to pretend that this mess was never posted by a member of the development team.
Constructive criticism, so you mean I should write a proper lore for the game, sacrificing days or even weeks to make it good and then get ignored by the devs like we get most of time. Not my cup of tea. Not anymore.It's fine to provide constructive criticism, but acting like the dev team committed a crime is not needed.

Spent way too much time already highlighting the plotholes on this piece, don't expect ReLogic to write a better replacement.
There are already way better explanations from the playerbase to everything in the game, they just preferred to ignore that. It would be tedious to read every fan theory I admit, but this, after 8 years. Not having a confirmed lore is better.
I'm about to reenter the dreamworld in which this topic doesn't exist.
If you excuse me.
Mothron ate that hero when 1.2 came out. End of the story.I dont know why everyone is interested about the lizhards im interested in the person who had the broken hero sword before it broke
Chill out, you're coming in the next part as well as spider nationas a representative of the slime nation i am shocked and appalled that we, as a species were not mentioned. we have plenty of history from the creation of our race to the rise of the tyrannical slime king and how we slowly succumbed to the evils presence. we were the very first evolution in sentient life for globs sake!
Then explain me the existence of Dart Traps, Gayzers, Boulders, Super Dart Traps, Flame Traps, Spear Traps, Spiky Ball Traps.devs aren't trolls
Thank you for cherry picking three words out of an entire post to take out of context. Those items you listed exist as obstacles, and in literally any other game would not be seen as a troll object. Now, if they all insta-killed you with no chance to even find them, then they'd be IWBTG levels of trolling, or if there was no way to disable them.Then explain me the existence of Dart Traps, Gayzers, Boulders, Super Dart Traps, Flame Traps, Spear Traps, Spiky Ball Traps.
Ofc they want me to rage at this game if they added such things.
However, the Hallow is themed around the concept of Order, while the Corruption and Crimson are themed around Chaos. Two diametrically opposing forces that are extremes of either side of the concept of balance, which should be a harmonious existence of either. All three of these opposing forces do not make sense when you take into account that they're meant to bring balance.
