= = = = FAQ BELOW = = = =
Q: What versions does this work on?
A: All 1.4 versions, as of writing. (1.4.4.9 and below). This includes TModloader.
Q: What is Transmutation?
A: Transmutation is a set of glitches discovered back in 2022 which fundamentally break Terraria. With Transmutation, any item in the game can be obtained (Including many unobtainable items!). Terraria has also been beaten in under 7 minutes using Transmutation.
Q: What is the Campfire Glitch? (CGO)
A: CGO, or Campfire Glitch Offsetting, is a powerful glitch that allows for arbitrary sprite manipulation in Terraria. Similar to Philosopher's Stone (aka the Bast Statue glitch), CGO can be used to obtain any item in the game. CGO also has a variety of other unique uses such as creating tunnel bores, infinite demon altars, and infinite boss summons.

That's a known artifact of using the Basts in multiplayer, and is purely visual- You can continue as if they're still there. It can help to place a torch, attached to the same wire you're using to activate the Bast Statues, so you can track if they're on / off- as knowing this is important to go the right direction when transmuting. (Think of the torch like an indicator light- The statues might be invisible, but the torch will stay visible.) Hope this helps^^! @@jujunon655

You could do some crazy stuff in pre-1.2 console.

I'm not so sure. First of all, they still haven't patched hoiks, so this could fall into "it's a feature, not a bug".

Third, it's entirely possible that they can't fix it without breaking something else.

Hello, @EthyrielY ! I found another way to make fuelless CGO: Doors, even invalid, if open or closed from its valid door block, that block will expand into whole door, repairing it. Also, doors may be used as CGO fuel. I propose following scheme: Modified 2-statue setup, with second Bast statue and CGO interacting with same right door's upper left corner, with space between two statues wider for 1 block, cycling in such way: After one press to broken campfire upper right block, upper statue must switch, repairing campfire, then intact block of left door used as a fuel must switch twice, opening door left, and repairing the door, then Bast statue must switch again, breaking campfire again.

Are you on PC or console^^? If on PC, verify that you are in Multiplayer. (Host and Play works just fine. If on Console (i.e. Mobile, PS5, etc.) - you'll need to either a.) Join a server, and set it up there or b.) Have a friend join when you’re hosting, and have them set it up for you. This is due to version differences with how hosting works. On PC, hosting actually makes you a client to a server hosted in the background. On console, you are the host, meaning de-syncing doesn’t work. Hence why you need to connect to the server or have someone else connect- being the Host when using Host and Play won’t work, unfortunately. Once the setup is complete, the glitch should function identical to PC. Hope this helps^^!

Saw a video where a dude used your glitch for boulders super cool! Also he said there is no duplication glitches yet as soon as he said that I thought of the one I use unless he was doing a no leave run Edit: is there supposed to be huge blank spots then after the blank spot it's other stuff the can't be turned into anything?(according to what I see) or should I be using a computer to look at this file? Edit 2: please figure out how to make this work on xbox i see the server vision

@Passw0rdYT 2 месяца назад

This seems to be patched, at least on console. Probably not the whole thing, but an integral glitch in setup is patched. From my attempts, I think this is because you can no longer force a desync between the server and client anymore. You always see what the server sees, this means that you still see the trap door when you break the first bast statue and the sand falls, and you also still see a floating bast statue when you use the torch to update the sand and trapdoor. Because the bast statue is still there both on client and server side, you can no longer place the sandstone block because that space is being blocked by the bast statue, and the statue just breaks when another block updates somewhere

It works on console, but only if you join someone else's world- i.e., you're a client to their server. The host on console is _actually_ the server, hence why de-sync don't work- just as you observed.

@daggybaggyog 10 месяцев назад

Hey, you might remember me, but I figured out the setup for multiplayer only and I accidentally made a stable bast in only multiplayer. Basically, you transmute a door into banners, then break it, causing the bast head to split and have the "bee."

@daggybaggyog 10 месяцев назад

Note, the door must be open and it also breaks some of the wood, and it stays on rejoin.

@EthyrielY 10 месяцев назад

@@gabrielandy9272 It's always an option- but at the same time, it's also a _lot_ of work to fix a single bug. And, that might also introduce other bugs in the process. To entirely fix transmutation, one of two things needs to happen. Either a.) De-syncing needs to be entirely fixed (unlikely, there's seven known methods atm) or b.) The game needs to not use tile IDs (Also very unlikely, because this would require a fundamental re-write of many things.) Hence why the patching of entry points, such as making the Bast no longer work the same way, is more likely- but then we just need a new way to do the same thing.

For some reason, when I recreate the glitch exactly as you have, the campfire glitch doesnt work but the philosophers stone does. I can move back and forth between items but when it comes to moving back down the list using the lamp and campfire the glitch just breaks. Im doing this on the same version as presented in the video and in multiplayer, so I am not sure what the issue might be. Any advice?

@EthyrielY 9 месяцев назад

Strange... Have you tried re-hosting the server? MCGO can be esoteric sometimes with unwanted de-syncs so re-starting the server can help to fix that. Otherwise, make sure you're right clicking the correct tile of the campfire, and there's no block updates too close to the campfire. (i.e., there's a one-block air gap between the lamp and the campfire on the right. The lamp cannot touch the campfire otherwise it will break.) Hope this helps^^!

@willmungas8964 6 месяцев назад

As a programmer it’s extremely interesting that this is how the game processes items. I wish you would have gone over the INTENDED behavior and the arrangement of items internally first, because then the glitches would not seem so arbitrary. It’s a little frustrating as a programmer because it’s eventually in the video that there is a clear rhyme and reason behind why this works, and it would help to contextualize the glitch with this first. Other than that great video and crazy stuff! Edit: I don’t mean to come off as condescending. I find glitches fascinating because from my experience in making games the designers have to make decisions about how to store and arrange things in the game engine, and don’t anticipate players breaking these systems later. It’s more interesting to me to find out how these systems are set up (and WHY they might be done this way) from a design perspective first, and use that as a foundation for how to then break them. It’s a great way to learn how you might set up similar things in your own games one day! And how to maybe avoid the design oversights that lead to these glitches ;)

so when youre going the set up step by step, there's exactly two blocks of space between the "m" shape within which the bast heads remain, & the line of blocks below within which the trap doors are placed... but then when you switch to the next section & begin explaining the campfire glitch, theres suddely 3 blocks exactly between those two structures.. is it supposed to be 3 or does it matter if it's two? im asking because when i added the blocks to elevate the campfire.. i couldnt actually place the campfire.. & now im realizing i cant place a door either.. i think i'll just start over lol.. i guess i'll leave this comment anyway so maybe you can clarify if you see this, if there was anything i could've done that wasnt completely starting over if possible.. anyway, incredible video, very detailed, very thorough, & a very intriguing glitch that hopefully i have some success with before 1.4.5 lol

Try re-logging and waiting for about 30 seconds, in that case. Alternatively, once you finish the setup, jump into Singleplayer. It is impossible to de-sync accidentally in Singleplayer which reduces the jank.
