tModLoader Ultima Lux: Caelum

[Asternove]

​

Howdy! I'm Clockwork17 Asternove, just making a simple mod. This adds new wing types to the game, intended to help me with my coding prowess and spritework. Furthermore, it helps stop the nasty little voice in the back of your head saying "your wings don't match your armor!" Just note this is in very early development and yes I will ask for help a lot. If you're wondering about the name, Ultima Lux is my planned modpack to make one day.

I'm open to any feedback and suggestions on what wings to make! For the most part I'll be sticking to Vanilla's standards, so no pre-HM wings.

Maybe I'll do a Calamity crossover after the first release if you all behave =)

Tier System
Wings will be split into tiers depending on their capabilities; mostly using this for ease on my end. Look for Roman Numerals behind the wings for their tier.

• Tier 0: Fledgling (Pre-HM)
• Tier 1: Angel; Demon (Weaker Early HM)
• Tier 2: Fairy, Fin, Frozen, Harpy (Stronger Early HM)
• Tier 3: Jetpack; Dev Sets; Leaf(?); Bat; Butterfly; Flame; Bee (Post One-Mech)
• Tier 4: [no vanilla items] (Post All-Mechs)
• Tier 5: Spectre; Beetle; Hoverboard; Mothron; Bone (Weaker Post-Plantera)
• Tier 6: Spooky; Tattered Fairy; Festive; Steampunk (Average Post-Plantera)
• Tier 7: Betsy; Fishron; Empress (Stronger Post-Plantera)
• Tier 8: Solar; Vortex; Nebula; Stardust (Weaker Post-ML)
• Tier 9: Celestial Starboard (Stronger Post-ML)
• Tier 10: [no vanilla items] (Absolute Best)

Tier 2

Ancient Wings, crafted from a fragment of the desert!

Tier 3

Hallowed Wings, forged from only the holiest of metals!

Tier 4

Chlorophyte Samaras, wings of seed and root!

Tier 5

Lihzahrd Wings, a heavy, blazing way of flight!

Tier 6

Cultist Wings, fit for the moon!

The moon to dull? Try Solar Cultist Wings for the sun!​

"Dusty feather" might sound better for ðe ancient wings' crafting item.

I was asking if you thought it still fit

 

[MoultonLava]

i know you don't want to add Pre HM wings, but i have an idea for one: the Spore Boosters

(crude sketch of it, essentially a jetpack that uses spores as propulsion)

Shroomite + Jetpack = Shroompack. Hoverboard exists though so idk.

I'll think about it.

 

[MoultonLava]

Shroomite + Jetpack = Shroompack. Hoverboard exists though so idk.

I'll think about it.

It could have the quick ascent feature instead of the hovering of the Hoverboard.

 

[Asternove]

• Added the Europa Shoes line

 

[Asternove]

• Added the title

 

[MoultonLava]
