14. I dont have a business, I'd like to one day though.
Thats a little about me to paint a picture of myself.
Glad I Got that out the way.

MOD IDEA

I'm been playing Terraria for a little over 3 years now. I've always wanted more "Economic" options in the game than the game has as default. Terraria is one of those games where there is enormous host of information to know about its mechanics, methods-of-play, variablility, what-mosters-can-do-and-when-and-how-thats-somehow-interesting... And then you'll have multiple other instances where you''ll have to do some other long winded, silly, arguably childish, cockamamy thing as the game goes of, on ever-the-more distracted
_!!STOP STARING OUT THE WINDOW!!_
t
angents obligating extensive player Labour, half the labour IS NOT EVEN neccessary, because if real-world tools of capital, production, macro-economics, and finances could be applied to Terraria then it would all but be redundant ALL THIS NEEDS TO BE MODDED OUT..in order for me to keep playing. Basically if Real World Capitalism could be used in this game with computer controlled miners, you could rest a lot more and put your feet-up.

The game prerequisites a player with a low attention span mindset...
_!!STOP STARING OUT THE WINDOW!!_
Thing is, I like games that challenge a LONG ATTENTION SPAN, in the terms of strategy NOT fighting and shooting.

I've found, and still do find the aesthetics of the monsters/enemy/bogey-men/bosses[⧮] extremely "fatuous", I'm trying to be as diplomatic as possible. That is just my OPINION. Its not meant to imply that I am being critical of the game, just that I would like it DRASTICALLY MODDED But i like the aesthetics of the Environment (follow this legend --> [⧮]

There are numerous other things I want in this mod and would include in a MOD if I wrote one,
but I'm not going to list them here because you are already....
..staring_out_the_window_again...
The core things that I think are missing, and someone/or me needs to write a mod for are thus:

1.A game that rewards long attention spans (in the terms of strategy, NOT fighting or shooting)
2. Speculating on the buying and seeling of comodities(resources dirt,stone,gold, etc etc) and assets to make a short term profit.
3 .Buying Resources from AI controlled NPC's to use yourself.
4. Buying labour, NEW AI controlled NPC''s to build things for you and paying the NPC's in whatever commodity they want to be paid in
5 .Geting employed by NEW AI controlled NPC's
6. Getting LOANS from AI NPC's in money and comodities(resources dirt,stone,gold, etc etc)
7. Investing in hedge-funds,derivatives,bonds,stocks, mutual funds.
8. Buying ALL THE weapons from the dealer. If I am going to waste my life diggin up tons-and-tons of computer generated-crap I should be able to sell it for ALL the damn guns.

(I have tried MY HARDEST to make this post as short as possible, but i am trying a to describe my idea AND kind of introduce myself at the same time) Two-For-One Yay.
IF you got to the end of my post, go and have a cookie or something)

This reads like trolling to me, particularly because of the AUTISTIC UNDERLINING that people mainly do to mock autistic underlining these days.
Any information that points towards the idea he's being sincere (like, purely hypothetically, some kind of 200 character solo roleplaying session) would make it way funnier.

e: Seriously, this is from his very next post:
WHY do you use so many text adjustments?

To keep things P-h-r-e-sh, funkadelic-exciting, and engaging, for
slow illiterate text-speaking micro-attention span millenials, but maybe I realise
now, that I don't need to do that.
That's clearly bait, right? I mean, R-i-g-h-t?
It's such an overly effortful brand of obnoxious that I don't understand how people can write like that regularly, trolling or not. Yet, certain lolcows seem to do it effortlessly.

That's going to "lol j/k i was only pretending to be retarded" levels, if true. Where's the gain in that?

A quick search revealed this image and holy fuck it sounds similar to this guy who calls people millenials with ADD chasing trends when they make fun of his roleplay; not to mention his obsession with economic and political simulations and references to "classic figures". he seems to be a /v/ meme

The guy went in for 6 posts in 2017 and then got banned for politics, which is the pretty typical troll trajectory. No sign of a major freakout/sockpuppets (that'd be interesting to see), or appeals, or anything higher effort than baiting people on some forums with an admittedly very spastic and looney writing style. People do in fact pretend to be retarded on the internet, a phenomenon which long predates making fun of people for pretending to be retarded on the internet.

AdultGamer (2017) and the person in the 4chan thread (2016) have very different writing styles, so either AdultGamer is a callback to that thread meant to harvest screencaps for the funnies, or the person's mental health went way further down the gutter.
Some examples are AdultGamer's random capitalization, meandering topics, strange list obsession, constant spelling errors, etc. while the 4chan poster is relatively meticulous for an anon and insists on full linebreaking every couple of short sentences.

Setting aside the likelihood of a copycat, I want to believe that these are 100% different people with completely different mental illnesses who happen to both obsess over the idea of economics in Terraria.

You're literally better off playing a grand strategy game.

lol nigga, just go play modded Minecraft or something. 90% of Minecraft modpacks are about creating factories that generate massive amounts of every resource for no good reason whatsoever.
One of the largest community mods in early Minecraft was Millénaire, which adds automatic NPC villages with economics and quests and everything. A ton of successors popped up over the years (like MineColonies), all of them doing pretty much what's described in these posts.

I like to think ReLogic added game mechanics in the 1.3 update that discourage building ugly commieblocks to spite people like this autist.
