Why do you say that? Skyrim and FO4 both include mod support on consoles.

Tmodloader was made exclusively for the pc I think, and I don’t think they would be able to change everything from pc to the other platforms. Also I think some of the devs even said no to most people asking if this update would add modding to consoles and mobile
 
For the Switch version could they possibly make an option to change the aiming radius to a regular circle? It's a diamond and it makes aiming at slightly different varying heights harder for no reason.

It's honestly the thing making me not play the Switch version
 
If they're still releasing such big spoilers so soon before the update, then how much did they actually do that we haven't even seen yet?!

right off the top of my head, they said there's 2 new bosses entirely that we haven't seen (the blood nautilus is treated as a mini-boss and not one of the two apparently), which also means regular drops, expert drops, and master mode drops for each.

Greetings from self-quarantine, Terrarians!

As the impacts from COVID-19 continue to disrupt so many lives, we once again hope that you are all doing as well as can be expected in these trying times and that everyone is doing their part to keep themselves - and your fellow humans - as healthy as possible! Please, please stay safe out there!

Across the Terraria development teams, everyone is now firmly entrenched in the work from home environment. That said, we are doing all that we can to keep the development trains moving unabated towards the latest and greatest for everyone out there to enjoy. So, relax, kick back, and let's dive into the latest Terraria news!


PlayStation 4, XBOX ONE, Nintendo Switch - PIPEWORKS
​
We hope that everyone on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 has been basking in the glow of parity over the last few weeks. Certainly an exciting milestone for everyone!

Some quick-hit updates on what we have going on right now....


XBOX ONE AND PLAYSTATION 4
  • Terraria 1.3.5 launched April 2 - Parity at last!
  • The team has been hard at work since on some fixes - including that nasty "transparent blocks" visual bug that occurs when using paint. All fixed up and coming your way soon.
  • We are also looking into some quality of life improvements at the same time.
  • No timing for either of those just yet, though the fix patch should not be much longer.

NINTENDO SWITCH
  • The 1.3.5 version of Terraria for Switch is still undergoing internal review. The team uncovered a handful of nasty multiplayer bugs, and we are working through those now.
  • This is triggering a bit of a delay - but these are the sorts of things we are glad to catch and fix before release.
  • Given the extended review times for submitted games during the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a good chance Switch 1.3.5 will slide into May. We are doing all that we can to cut that time down as much as possible. We will let you know when we submit so that you will know when the update is quite close. :)

Closer, ever closer to parity for everyone!

MOBILE - DR STUDIOS

​
Hello everyone!

We're very excited to hear the news about 1.4 on PC coming next month! We at DR are working hard on the last batch of issues raised with the 1.3.0.7.8 Customization & Controller update and we'll have a patch update 1.3.0.7.9 for you asap! After we get that out to everyone we are starting to investigate our next content update, all the features to take into account and then starting on our next BIG update! What will that entail? You will just have to wait and see...


FIXES FOR CONTROLLER + CUSTOMIZATION UPDATE
  • Updated Gamepad support frontend setup - allowing players with currently unsupported gamepads to set up their gamepad of choice and enjoy the controller-y goodness.
    • This won't mean every gamepad will be supported, but we hope it will substantially increase the list of gamepads that will work.
    • A preview of the setup interface is below!

  • Fix for the vanishing prefixes bug
  • Fix for staircase draw/layering issue
  • Fix for that pesky Sun not being able to be dragged around in the main menu
  • Some other minor fixes

We expect this to be out next week, we are just putting more work into the unsupported gamepad fix. Hang in there a bit longer!

​

WHAT COMES NEXT?
  • We are not quite ready to share the plans for future content on Mobile Terraria
  • We should be able to share more once the fix patch above is out for you to enjoy



Until next time!

TERRARIA DISCORD MOBILE SERVER​


We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Terraria Discord Mobile Server! We will utilize this mobile server to host public Terraria worlds for the enjoyment of our mobile community. Keep in mind that the Terraria community is massive, and it is very possible for these worlds to reach capacity. Please understand that you might need to find space in an open world or wait patiently while we create additional worlds.

We are using this initial launch to test the feasibility of hosting fun public worlds. We expect users to remain respectful at all times. We do have region protection on various parts of each world. This means that you will not be able to alter those regions. You are free to build amazing builds in non-protected regions. If your creation is truly epic then let us know and we could region protect the build or add it to our main default world that will be used to copy future worlds.

Here are the initial worlds available at launch:


Host IP: srv1.terraria-discord.com

Port = 5523 - pass = vip - Name = Terraria Discord 1

Port = 5387 - pass = vip - Name = Terraria Discord Expert 1



If you have any questions, then please reach out on Discord to @Mod Mail. Let's have fun as a community and make this a positive experience to justify additional public servers for more platforms.




The Terraria communities have been growing exponentially over the last few weeks. Two exciting examples come from our official Xbox community hub and our official Discord server. Over the last 30 days we have had over 8.6 million unique visits to the official Xbox community hub! As we are writing this State of the Game announcement, we currently display 95k online members in the official Terraria Discord server. These community engagement examples show how activity in the Terraria community is truly incredible. Behind our massive community is an epic team of moderators and community team members who make the Terraria community enjoyable and safe for all to enjoy.

We are thrilled to announce that we have reopened applications to join the Terraria Community Team!

If you love the Terraria community and you want to join the team that helps make this community so epic then join our Discord server and follow the directions to apply.

Can Xbox and PC cross platform, if not can you say what systems can regardless of what those said systems are

Only PC (if you downgrade to 1.3.0.7) and Mobile can cross-play at this time.

For Xbox and PC, besides being on the same version content-wise the PC client needs to support Xbox Live connectivity. Xbox consoles are not allowed to connect using any other network. It's not known at this time if there ever will be a PC version that will support Xbox Live.
 
How will journeys end work with calamity or mods at all? Will calamity ruin journeys end with OP weapons, or will they be polished to work together?
