    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.
    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.

You need to right click the same corner of the campfire once to get ore like normal, but then you can turn on smart cursor and can right click anywhere on the right half of the screen. This works to create new ore as long as you don't flip the switch, which breaks the altar permanently if you flip the switch at least twice in rapid succession.

    Curiosity for math nerds:
    Since redigit coded the ore spawning with a function that’s called Harmonic Series (1/n), you can technically cover the *whole* world with ore, given enough time.
    If it was coded differently, say 1/(n^2), there would be a limit of ore spawned, even after breaking infinite altars, more specifically it would never exceed double the ore the first altar breaking would generate

    • @bastian_5975
      @bastian_5975 4 місяці тому +5

      There are two things that might prevent total transmutation: how the game selects blocks and the smallest number of blocks that it will transmute.
      I'm not 100% sure if the first one will actually prevent it, but if the game randomly and independently selects blocks to transmute each time, then you will start running into a problem of the game spawning ore on top of ore, which will mean that over time you're actually getting (1/n)*(1-p) bits of ore in your world, with n being the number of altars destroyed and p being the proportion of your world that is currently ore. It feels like that will prevent the world from having everything that can be turned into ore turn into ore, however math is weird so I don't know.
      However the other part might be a problem: depending on how the game decides the amount of ore to spawn, there could be a point where the amount of ore the game decides to spawn is rounded down to 0, meaning that no more ore will spawn. Or it could round up somewhere, causing the first thing to not actually be a problem because it actually breaks from the harmonic series at some point and stays above it.

    • @user-eh5lx5uq7k
      @user-eh5lx5uq7k 2 місяці тому

      @@bastian_5975In your scenario you can approximate it with the following differential equation where x is the amount of ore spawned, a is the amount of ore spawned after the first altar broken, k is the total amount of spawning spaces in the world, and the initial condition x(1) = 0:
      dx/dt = a/x * (k - x)/k
      Wolfram Alpha kindly gives us the solution x(t) = k (W(-e^((a - a t)/k^2 - 1)) + 1), where W is the product log or Lambert W function.
      There is no solution for t where x(t) = k, moreover, the limit of x(t) as t->inf is k.
      Therefore you can get arbitrarily close to filling up your world but never fill up your world with hardmode ore, as opposed to if you generated the maximum amount of ore every time, you would still finish (it would just be exponential in k/a). However, do note that the ODE is just an approximation, if you keep getting lucky then you could still fill up the world.

      @@bastian_5975for fun, I did the math on if ore value gets overwritten, what is the solution (ignoring rounding issues).
      Can’t really do it as a sum, because subsequent partial sums require previous values of subsums, so the best I could hope for was a recursion sequence. Start with s(1) = p, where p is a value between 0 and 1 referring to how much of the world gets covered by ore with the first altar.
      Then to the previous sum of n-1 iterations, you add p/n times the uncovered portion of the world which is (1-s(n-1)). This leaves the nonlinear recursion relation s(n) = (1-p/n)s(n-1) + p/n.
      At this point I was ready to call it quits because even approaching the conversion of that sequence was far above my pay grade. But for shits n giggles I plugged it into Wolfram Alpha.
      Believe it or not, WolframAlpha pooped out an analytical solution in terms of the Gamma function. I cannot begin to explain to you why it’s the answer, but here it is in terms of factorials.
      s(n) = 1 - (n-p)!/(n!(-p)!)
      This converges to 1! So the whole world will get covered in ore eventually. Why? Tl;dr: (-p)! is a positive constant close to 1 and smaller factorial over bigger factorial means that fraction will converge to 0.
      Converge to 0: a limit to infinity you can use the stirling approximation to get that fraction to (n-p)^(n-p)/n^n * sqrt(1-p/n) * 1/((-p)!e^p). That first factor is less than n^(n-p)/n^n = 1/n^p which converges to 0. The sqrt converges to 1 and the third factor is a constant.

    Because the amount of ore each alter generates follows the harmonic series (but for each ore, it actually doesn't change to 1/2 until after the first 3 are broken, then 1/3 until the first 6), which actually diverges to infinity as much as it seems like it won't, you could- assuming the terraria world was infinite- actually generate infinite ore. However, for a reference of how long this will take, let's start at the first demon alter you break and call that 1. In order for your world to have 100 times as much cobalt/palladium ore in it than you would after breaking 1, and breaking the alters at a rate of 1 alter every millisecond, you would need to continue breaking alters for roughly 1,426,002,993,465,483,882,743,766,655,714,962 and a half years. For a reference, the big bang is generally understood to have occurred 13.8 billion years ago. This number is 103,333,550,251,122,020,488,678.5 times bigger than that. Now while I couldn't find exact sizes for each vein of cobalt added, we do know that 250 veins are added at alter 1. If we were to assume that every single one of the 20,160,000 blocks in the terraria large world was replaceable by cobalt/palladium, and none of the other ores were added in-between, we'll throw a random guess out and say the ores generate in vein sizes of about 50 per vein. For 50 per vein, filling up that world would need 403,200 veins, and dividing that by the 250 veins we get from alter 1 yields 1612.8, which is the number our harmonic series needs to pass in order to fill the whole world. But remember, the massive number I calculated earlier ONLY accounts for the harmonic series up to ONE-HUNDRED. So even if this program had been running since the start of the universe over a hundred sextillion times, AND you factored in ALL THREE ores generating instead of just the cobalt, you still would not have generated one full world of ore using demon alters. Chances are far more likely that would game would have lost so much floating point precision in figuring out how much ore to generate that it simply would have rounded down to 0 and not given you anything by this point. Either that or it has a minimum positive value it yields, in which case this may actually reach a full world far faster, but it would still be unreasonably slow.

      Someone already filled a world with hardmode ores & they only broke 1,000,000 altars. The video where they did it was even mentioned in this video. That means terraria definitely rounds the number of ore veins up. It also wouldn't make sense to spawn a smaller ore vein, because it would look weird & confuse the player, normally such high precision would never be required, it would probably be harder to code, & if it worked like that, it wouldn't have been possible to fill a world with hardmode ores by only breaking 1,000,000 altars. Assuming each altar spawns 1 vein of 50 ores anywhere in the world, filling the world with hardmode ores would only require breaking 403,200 altars.

    The falloff is indeed bad, with ~100 clicks getting you 5x the ore of breaking the first demon altar, and 10,000 clicks only being around ~10x the ore of the first demon altar. But technically speaking, you could turn the entire world into ore with enough time.

    At 226 alters broken, you reach the amount of ore equivalent to breaking the first alter 6 times. (not counting veins that overlap, cause remember, the more ore, the less space can be turned into ore.)
    edit: ok, I'm just gonna make a little list, cause otherwise, that is just a single data point, that can be little more than a random fun fact.
    Taking the amounts that get closest adding the equivalent of one additional first alter:
    1 alter gets as much as a first alter (duh).
    4 alters get 208.33% of a first alter.
    11 alters: 301.99% of a first.
    30: 399.5%
    83 500.21%

      @EthyrielY it took me roughly a minute total to scroll down to 12000 in the Excel sheet, so I'm not gonna go further, but plotting the points I've mentioned on a graph might give something close to the same result. I am not proficient enough in Excel to do that, though, and I don't know if it would work well to make a quick program in python to calculate it, becuase floating point stuff probably isn't presice enough to go that far.
      edit: Ok, writing the program will probably take less time than it took to write this message, so I'll just do it. Even if the result probably isn't great.

      (I left out some of the decimals on most of the middle ones because I'm writing this on a phone, but the code is on my computer. And writing the decimals I did write took longer than it took to write the code)
      edit3: I tried 100 days, my computer and/or python is too slow. I did try cutting out unnecessary parts, but it didn't really make a difference, and I wanna get back to my Calamity playthrough. At somewhere around 50-60 days, it hits 20 times the first alter.
      Interesting thing happened in that playhrough. I usually never actually break any alters, but when I killed wof, some tier 1 were distributed in the world (both cobalt and palladium. FTW seed.). I decided to break an alter a bit later on, but no new ores were distibutef in the world.
      My current theory is that the thing in the middle of Calamity's astral infection broke an alter, but I don't know why the second alter didn't produce any ores. Possibly just mods not working properly.
      edit4: I figured out the hm ore thing. And I wrote a quick program, that prints all of the items a door will produce (in [i:(number)] form) in lines of 50 items, that I can then copy paste to the chat in a Terraria world to see what that door will produce. I haven't quite figured out how to predict the items without transmuting the input door a few times first. it seems to jump 64 whenever it goes from door to item or opposite, but jump 36 in every other situation. I have used this method to look around for calamity items. I even got an undocumented unobtainable item (the starting bag (not to be confused with the starter bag)), and an item that crashes tmodloader when whatever contains it is saved. I have found, but not reached the ids of the 3 other unobtainable Calamity items (I don't have all of the doors, yet). I still haven't found cosmic plushie. meteor door gets that super op pickaxe. I haven't tried that pick (or any of the other stuff) out cause I haven't obtained it legitemately yet. Cryogen master death mode with a yoyo and fast gun is a really enjoyable fight!

    Hey there my guy. So I tried a bunch of things myself with the invincibility setup and found that,
    1. You can use shimmer to permenantly be invincible to everything
    2. Enemies seem to target different locations when you try to move, for example walking enemies drop through platforms if you stand on them and press down while in the setup.
    Im sure you tried that stuff already but in case you didn't, here you go.

    • @EthyrielY

      So I have a little Update on the mobs moving weird thing, it seems to only work on multiplayer, probably bc the server thinks the player is moving until he is litteraly off screen. However, be aware that the server is still smart enough to only see possible movement, so if you are running into a wall, the server knows and the enemies will target your position on the wall. The best friend to test this on is a ghost or bosses like eye of cthulu.
      And another little thing, the bone Helmet and probably also Sporsack work in the setup as well.

    I have a question. Can the door glitch be done in servers? I go to my friend's server and do this, and I give a terra blade for everyone.

      It works exclusively in Multiplayer.
      Though, to be considerate to the intended progress progression, do ask before you do it! If everyone's chill with it, then go on ahead.

    does it have to be sandstone or do other blocks work also can it be pearlsand?

      For the Prong glitch, a few other combinations work. Ergo, you can do dirt and stone as another easy one.
      But for this particular setup, it needs to be specifically sand and sandstone.

    When I block swap the bottom wood with sand as shown at 4:46, the trapdoor breaks and the sand falls but the bast statue doesnt break, any help?

      Hrmmm... First thing that comes to mind is to double-check to ensure you're in multiplayer^^ If that doesn't fix it I've got a few more things to try.

    A small thing to note is that on console, the setup will require you to do some steps and your friend to do some of the others
    Edit: this info is correct on 1.4.4.9. I have yet to do testing on 1.4.4.9.4

    • @EthyrielY
      @EthyrielY  3 місяці тому

      Due to version differences, Host and Play on PC and Host and Play on console function a little differently, leading to differences in the initial setup.
      To perform the setup on Console, 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.
