Terraria adds Steam Workshop support with patch 1.4.2

Terraria, Re-Logic’s action-adventure sandbox game, receives a massive PC update that allows players to create, download, play and share levels through Steam Workshop. The full patch notes for Update 1.4.2 are described below.

Steam Workshop support in Terraria turns the game into Mario Maker. Players can create their own game using a plethora of modifications, ranging from modifying the world of Terraria to tweaking the game’s soundtrack. These features are not specific to Steam players, although the Workshop is not. only available on PC.

Any Terraria content created can be uploaded to Steam Workshop. This hub serves as a mod browser, where players can check out what’s available for download. It’s located under the Community Hub on the Terraria page of your game library.

In addition to adding support for Steam Workshop, developer Re-Logic has dropped update 1.4.2, which fixes an assortment of bugs. Some fixes include seeds that don’t spawn in identical worlds, character models not behaving correctly, enemies spawning behind safe walls, and item tooltips that only show the item name.
