PowerShell scripts to accelerate item duplication for Terraria the game.

Setup

  1. Install Terraria
  2. Create a non-Journey, classic World named "Duplicator" you will use to duplicate items. If you want to use a different world name you will need to modify the scripts.
  3. Add a chest to this world near spawn and build an enclosure around both the chest and the spawn point
  4. Fill up the chest with items you want to duplicate like money, potions, food, crafting ingredients, and building materials
  5. Save and close the world. You may leave Terraria running, you do not need to exit the game to use duplication.
  6. Run Save-Duplicator.ps1 from anywhere on your computer using Windows PowerShell. The easiest way to do this is by right-clicking on the file and selecting Run with PowerShell.
  7. You will now have a copy of this World saved in your temporary files

Usage

  1. Play Terraria
  2. Open the Duplicator world
  3. Take out whatever you need for your character
  4. Save and close the world
  5. Alt + Tab out of Terraria to Windows Explorer. You do not need to exit Terraria.
  6. Run Dupe-Duplicator.ps1 to replenish the World from your saved copy. The fastest way to do this is to right-click on the script and select Run with PowerShell.
  7. Repeat as needed

Other Notes

Make sure to always run Dupe-Duplicator.ps1 immediately after taking resources out of the Duplicator world to replenish them in case you add more later. You may want to add more resources later and use Save-Duplicator.ps1 to setup a new version.

Modifying the Scripts

If you don't want to use the name "Duplicator" for your world, open both scripts and change the first line from:

$worlds = "Duplicator.wld","Duplicator.wld.bak","Duplicator.wld.bak2"

to

$worlds = "My_World_Name.wld","My_World_Name.wld.bak","My_World_Name.wld.bak2"

where you replace My_World_Name with the actual world name file name from your Terraria My Games/Worlds folder. You can find this file name by going to your Documents folder, opening the My Games folder, opening the Terraria folder, and the Worlds folder. Example:

C:\Users\[my-user]\Documents\My Games\Terraria\Worlds
