\n\nGreetings Terrarians!\n\nWe have one foot already into the Fall season - our favorite season of the year! - and we are drawing ever closer to the release of Terraria 1.4.5. More on that below. We are also getting really close to the release of the Terraria Board Game in November. The end of the year is setting up to be quite eventful indeed! We are also already setting the stage for what lies ahead in 2026 - Terraria\'s 15th Anniversary year. We hope we can bring some more cool stuff your way as a result of those plans, but that will have to wait for another day. For now, let\'s dive in to the latest and greatest news in the world of Terraria!\n\nWhat\'s in store this time...\n\n[img src=\"https://i.imgur.com/Y3CIX2z.png\"][/img]

TERRARIA 1.4.5 - THE FIX IS IN (PROGRESS)

\nThe team has been hard at work this month, aiming to reach the \"content complete\" (also known as the Release Candidate) stage within the next couple of weeks. What does that mean, exactly? Well, that means that - at that point - we will have officially added all of the new content/features/etc. that will make it into Terraria 1.4.5. After that, all that is left to do is testing, tweaking, and bug fixing. Of course, that testing/fixing process takes a good amount of time and is somewhat unpredictable (we had some pretty nasty tickets emerge just this past week, for example). Once we reach \"content complete\" and we have a bit of time to focus on fixing, we should have a much better sense of precisely when Terraria 1.4.5 will reach completion. We are working as closely as possible with our partners in parallel to try and shorten the time needed on the backend for first party submissions, localization, etc. - as, again, our goal for 1.4.5 is a global synchronized launch.\n\nAll that said, reaching content complete is a major milestone and we are truly at the final stages now. We know this update has taken far too long to get out to you all, and we are sorry for that. We do hope that you enjoy it once it is out - and that you are excited for what else is in store for the future of Terraria. More on that in the months ahead. For now, we are all in on the push to get this update out to you as quickly as possible!\n\nThis month\'s spoiler looks at some improvements to the way NPC Housing operates and is communicated to the player...\n\n\nVillagers no longer require a House in order to appear!\n(That said, if you haven\'t built them a House, they\'ll ask for one!)\n\nWe\'ve also added additional hints on how a house can be built, and, added visualization for how housing is scanned!\nAny Villagers that do not have a house assigned to them will leave for safety when night comes!\n\n[img src=\"https://i.imgur.com/CicmbR2.png\"][/img]\n\n

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM

\n[img src=\"https://i.imgur.com/oLHogOc.png\"][/img]\nHello everyone! \n\nOn October 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. As always we are grateful for the massive amount of community participation in developing and testing new features each month.\n\nThis month\'s release contains the new ModAchievement feature. We are excited to see how mods use ModAchievement and how they\'ll give players long-term goals to work towards. We\'ve seen many mod makers showcasing their new achievement art this last month and look forward to seeing them in-game. As usual, we\'d like to encourage modders to test out new tModLoader features on the preview branch if they are relevant to your mod. Major features in preview are listed on our Discord.\n\nModders and users should also keep an eye out for our monthly Steam announcement on the 1st where a complete listing of bug fixes and API changes for this month\'s release will be listed. The in-game news button on the main menu will direct you directly to the announcement once it is live.\n\nWe look forward to seeing how mods make use of these new features. As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don\'t hesitate to check out our FAQ on github or reach out to us at our Discord .\n\n[img src=\"https://i.imgur.com/CicmbR2.png\"][/img]

WHAT\'S NEXT FOR TML?

\nMore features, continuing to evolve and grow what TML can do... and getting ready for 1.4.5.\n\nAs always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn\'t mean anything, because issues and PRs don\'t have weights.)\n\nDevelopers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader )\n\n[img src=\"https://i.imgur.com/Y3CIX2z.png\"][/img]

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

\nHey there, Terrarians!\n\nOnce again, another month has flown by as we work hand-in-hand with Re-Logic to get 1.4.5 over the line. Work across multiple platforms is heating up as we near the Release Candidate stage and we really have to start planning for submissions and such in earnest. Hopefully, we will make it through that process cleanly and quickly - but it is always a bit unpredictable! We have some other things planned to share with you in the coming months, but that is a topic for another day. For now, we hope you are ready for a day sailing the open... skies? \n\nYo ho ho! I said to stack the cannonballs neatly on the deck, yeh landlubber!\n\n---\n\nUntil next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!\n\n[img src=\"https://i.imgur.com/Y3CIX2z.png\"][/img]
