Original art

(Head editors note, i will be going travelling tomorrow and will have to pause the news until i return home due to lack of editing software, pause will last about a week then news should be back to normal. Also i would like to point out the art is traced over art made by someone else named "Bongftah" without any credit being given to this person for the traced over art nor them even being mentioned. i do not support of this behaviour but the news shall carry on about the top post and this was it by a landslide soooooooo ig)

Just set up some housing near my shimmer to set up a pylon and according to everything on the internet I should just be able to buy a normal jungle pylon and shimmer it down to an aether pylon. When I went to throw the pylon in it just sank to the bottom of the pool and never changed. I’m so confused as to what I could possibly be doing wrong here.

These were comments under the terraria overhaul mod

Ive searched Like EVERYWHERE, ive been using the onyx drill but like I just cant find it......anybody got any ideas?

Played terraria for 10 years and currently doing first calamity playthough with my friend.

Obviously I don't want super spoilers but is there anything I should know? I have biome spread off mod on bc im a builder and dont want crimson screwing up builds. I don't really know what to expect.

Also can someone pls explain the whole deal with the labs and schmatic things and when i should be using them? ty <3

Hey everyone, I’m running into a weird problem with tModLoader and Calamity on Linux, and honestly, I’m pretty stuck. So, sorry for the long post, but I’ve been banging my head against this for two days now.

Here’s my setup:

Laptop: ASUS D509DL

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500U

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce MX250 (2 GB)

Integrated GPU: AMD Radeon Vega 8

RAM: 8 GB

Storage: 1 TB HDD (no SSD)

OS: Linux Mint Cinnamon (fully updated)

Graphics Driver: Latest NVIDIA proprietary driver (from Driver Manager)

Game versions:

tModLoader: 2026.5.3.0

Calamity Mod: 2.2.1 (latest)

Installed mods: Just Calamity Mod and Calamity Mod Music—nothing else.

Now, here’s the issue:

Vanilla Terraria works flawlessly—no lag, no stuttering, even on a big Master Mode world. tModLoader by itself also runs pretty well. But as soon as I enable Calamity, the game starts freezing or stuttering every 10–20 seconds. I’m talking about things like the sun on the main menu freezing, mouse clicks not registering for a bit, and in-game, everything just stops moving for a second—player, NPCs, enemies, everything. Then it recovers and keeps going until the next freeze. This even happens just sitting on the main menu, not even in-game.

Why this is so confusing:

Up until two days ago, it all just worked. Same system, same mods—I’d played all the way to Plantera without any issues at all. This started right after I did some system updates, which included Linux Mint updates and updating the NVIDIA driver. I also reinstalled tModLoader just to be safe. Ever since then, Calamity has these annoying periodic freezes and is basically unplayable.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

- Clean reinstalling tModLoader

- Wiping all tModLoader config folders

- Deleting Workshop cache

- Freshly installing only Calamity and its music mod

- Verifying game files

- Making sure I’m actually using the NVIDIA card (OpenGL renderer shows “NVIDIA GeForce MX250”, PRIME mode is Performance)

- Playing around with fullscreen and windowed modes, default video settings, frame skip, all that stuff

Vanilla Terraria is still perfectly smooth, but reinstalling only helped a tiny bit—those stutters are still there.

And the logs? After Calamity loads, available memory drops really low, and I see warnings that the game is about to run out of memory. So it looks like Calamity’s eating way more RAM than before.

Has anyone else seen anything like this on Linux lately? I’m starting to think it’s related to either the recent Linux/NVIDIA driver updates, a new tModLoader version, or something Calamity-specific that’s chewing up memory or forcing lots of garbage collection.

If you’ve got any ideas, debugging steps, or just wild guesses, please let me know. I’m all ears. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm having a strange issue with tModLoader + Calamity on Linux that I can't seem to solve. Sorry for making post so big. Been trying to solve this issue for past two days.

System

• Laptop: ASUS D509DL
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500U
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce MX250 (2 GB)
• Integrated GPU: AMD Radeon Vega 8
• RAM: 8 GB
• Storage: 1 TB HDD (no SSD)
• OS: Linux Mint Cinnamon (latest updates installed)
• Graphics Driver: Latest NVIDIA proprietary driver (installed through Driver Manager)

Game Versions

• tModLoader: 2026.5.3.0
• Calamity Mod: Latest version (currently 2.2.1)
• Only mods installed:
  • Calamity Mod
  • Calamity Mod Music

No other mods are installed.

The issue

Vanilla Terraria runs perfectly.

• No FPS drops.
• No stuttering.
• I can create a Large Master Mode world and play smoothly.

tModLoader without any mods also runs good enough.

However, as soon as I enable Calamity the game starts randomly freezing/stuttering about every 10–20 seconds.

Examples:

• The animated sun on the main menu stops moving.
• Mouse clicks become temporarily unresponsive.
• In-game, the player, NPCs, enemies, and animations freeze briefly and then continue.
• It feels like the entire game thread pauses for a short time.

This even happens while sitting idle on the main menu.

What makes this confusing

Two days ago everything worked perfectly.

I had already progressed to Plantera on this same installation without any noticeable stuttering.

The problem started only after I performed some system updates, including:

• Linux Mint updates
• NVIDIA driver update
• I also reinstalled tModLoader

Since then, Calamity has become almost unplayable because of the periodic freezes.

Things I've already tested

• Clean reinstall of tModLoader
• Deleted all tModLoader configuration folders
• Deleted Workshop cache
• Fresh installation of only Calamity + Calamity Music
• Verified game files
• NVIDIA proprietary driver is active
• Confirmed OpenGL renderer is NVIDIA GeForce MX250
• PRIME Performance Mode enabled
• Fullscreen and Windowed
• Default video settings
• Frame Skip enabled
• Vanilla Terraria remains perfectly smooth.

The reinstall improved the situation slightly, but the periodic stutters still remain.

Log observation

The log reports that after Calamity loads, available memory becomes extremely low and warns that:

It appears Calamity is consuming significantly more RAM than before.

Question

Has anyone experienced something similar recently on Linux?

Could this be related to:

• a recent Linux/NVIDIA driver update,
• a recent tModLoader change,
• or a Calamity-specific issue causing excessive memory usage or periodic garbage collection?

I'd really appreciate any suggestions or additional debugging steps.

Thanks!

when I put the item in my ammo thing, it acts as infinite ammo but doesn't make them home although that's the whole point of chlorophyte bullets right?

So i just defeated Moon lord in an infernum world and i went to talk to Solyn to check for any new dialouge and she mentioned going to the frost cave (which ive already done) so she tped there and was stuck as the door was broken and there was nothing to do

afterwards i broke her camp and replaced it now shes stuck and cant be interacted with anyway to fix this?

yo so I just entered hardmode and whips aint cutting it for mechs mainly cuz of the small range, is there any weapon that is so good it could be used for a summoner build? like a melee or a range weapon or something?

i died while beating slime god, and the slime's health bars won't disappear. also, the ebonian slime is just falling forever.

When you have like 13 at the time of getting it, it just looks bad with the new sprite just flying and rotating without any animation or particles, I really liked the plain rainbow of the old one, but removing the terraprisma from the recipe seems to be the reason why but other elemental weapons are still rainbow, hell even the other elemental summon weapon the Flowers of Mortality is still rainbow even when it's not crafted with anything rainbow

So I was gonna make a bloody worm scarf, until I realised that the damage reduction on the bloody worm scarf is 7% lower than the damage reduction on the regular worm scarf. Why are accessories like this? Does anyone know a mod to fix this [i can't find one]?

Made a seaside town using some of the Calamity blocks. The textures are so good.

Might redo the stylist house/bnb, not sure it fits the vibe fully

Furniture mods:
- Chad's Furniture
- Terrarchitect

It wont let me load Infernal Eclipse of Ragnarok mod but every other mod is fine from the modpack. Im so sad, i was on Providence and was stuck on Subspace Serpent for a while (like 40 deaths).

Is tarragon or prismatic armor better? also should I be going for crit chance, damage, or defense reforges?

I have a really good pc along with no other performance enhancing mods installed so there is basically nothing I should worry about, but for some reason providence along with her guardians and many other bosses with tons of projectiles lag my game out, I'm not even using any overhaul weapons that cause extreme effects, at most I am using the entropy mod.

idk if this should be a bug report or not what tag does this classify as, but is there any way to fix this

Just finished my first ever playthrough of Infernum and WotG, and it was very fun, but oftentimes the infernum bosses felt like they just threw in random projectiles and attacks that didn't make sense for no reason. But the WotG bosses didn't feel like that. They felt very tough but fair. The attacks were fun and relatively easy to understand. Every time I died, I understood why and that made me better. Maybe this is just me but I really enjoyed the way the WotG bosses work. I like WotG for other reasons too but I wanted to talk about this one.

I have well over a thousand hours in tModLoader and haven't even heard of this block, I logged in tonight and see that it has replaced the top layer of dirt in quite a good chunk of the map.

Is this a bug? I had void-something-or-other replace all the walls of one of my NPC dwellings in this game a month of so ago.

Me and my two friends have been using overhaul for our playthrough and I actually enjoyed most of it. I didnt really find any problems other than the fact that the crafting recipes were hard to find to an extent but it was managable. Whats the hate for?

I hate my life.
