Terraria 1.2.4 Preview: Minecarts!

If I would have heard about the addition of Minecarts to Terraria I might not have thought it was a good idea... Until I saw the 1.2.4 preview video. This update should make travel around large Terraria worlds really easy.

Hopefully this will be available from the starting tier! Love the game still gets these great updates for free! 1.2 has added so much and things just keep getting better.

Good intentions aside, I guess the road to Hell is also paved with long-ass cart rails.

OK, this is awesome. After playing around with mine carts in Starbound I wished for this.

Wow, what a long ride! That was really cool, I wonder how all that was done. Is this update available? I wonder what other changes were made for this update. Ok, now I guess I'm gonna have to go investigate.

Ok, I didn't find what I was looking for, but found "Upcoming features" on the wiki: http://terraria.gamepedia.com/Upcoming_features

Where'd you get the info? I was looking for more details. I liked the mention of Terraria 2 on the site I included above.

Oh, I am following the lead developer of Terraria on Twitter and he mentioned it in the Tweet. I should have included it in the post above, sorry.

It's also the title of the YouTube video.

Oh man, I loved the bees.

I know. I think that's a bee mount in that picture. Can't wait to see how that works.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 05/06/2014 at 02:42am

It looks like the Queen Bee is getting attacked by bees and the player is dressed like a bee. Hahahahaha, perfect for you bee lovers (though I'm not a hater, in real life I respect bees).

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/06/2014 at 03:29am

I didn't notice the Bee Armor or Costume the player had but if my eyes are right, they are in fact riding a bee too. I hope the bee gun gets upgraded as well and some late game bee armor. And then I hope everything else is replaced with bee sprites and text.

I think really want I want is Terraria to be a bee simulator game.
