It seems Terraria's developer is as bad at making small updates as it is final ones, as it says its latest balance patch is much more than 'adjusting a few numbers'
Developer Re-Logic has announced that Terraria's upcoming balance patch, 1.4.5.7, will include more than just number adjustments, adding several new features like a portable sentry and an ammo randomizer. The studio also confirmed that further major updates beyond 1.4.6 are planned, alongside the previously announced crossplay functionality.
Terraria's next update is supposed to be a balance fix, but it keeps getting new features because it's "not just about adjusting a few numbers"
Re-Logic is adding new features to Terraria's upcoming 1.4.5.7 update, which was initially intended as a balance fix. The developers explain that addressing balance requires rethinking core mechanics and expanding existing features, rather than just tweaking numbers. This extensive update is expected to be followed by a 1.4.5.8 patch, and the long-awaited crossplay update is still in development.
The next Terraria update "is not just about adjusting a few numbers"
Re-Logic is making significant progress on the next Terraria update, focusing on substantial balance changes rather than minor number adjustments. The upcoming patch will introduce new mechanics, such as a deployable and portable Flameburst Sentry for summoners and a randomized ammo system for ranged players. The studio is also actively discussing the implementation of crossplay and has confirmed that updates will continue beyond version 1.4.6.
