Shimmered form

NPC Map icon

When submerged in Shimmer, the Steampunker will transform into her Shimmered form. This has no impact on gameplay or dialogue and is only a visual change. She can be returned to her classic look by submerging her in Shimmer again.

Notes

  • (Desktop version) The required NPC names are hard-coded strings when checking condition for name-based NPC drops.[1] As a result, the game's translation and Resource Packs both affect name-based item drops: the Steampunker will not be able to drop Ivy if the name Whitney is translated or changed to something else; if a Resource Pack changes any of the applicable names of Steampunker to Whitney, she will drop Ivy when that name is chosen.
  • The Steampunker's move-in requirements do not expressly require a world to be in Hardmode. Summoning and defeating a mechanical boss in a pre-Hardmode world will allow the Steampunker to move in, though this can only be legitimately achieved by carrying over resources from an existing Hardmode world.
    • If summoned into a pre-Hardmode world this way, the Steampunker will not sell Cogs, the Steampunk Minecart, or the Static Hook until the given world enters Hardmode.
  • The Steampunker is one of the starting NPC in Celebrationmk10 and Get fixed boi worlds. This means that it is possible to get most of her items legitimately in a pre-Hardmode world without transferring them from a Hardmode world (e.g. Asphalt Blocks for arenas).
  • Re-defeating the Eye of Cthulhu and Eater of Worlds/Brain of Cthulhu may be necessary to buy the Steampunk Boiler after the Steampunker arrives.
  • The Steampunker does not sell Dark Blue Solution if moved to the Glowing Mushroom biome. It is sold by the Truffle instead.

    • The Steampunker can be seen working on the Cyborg in the credits.
    • The Steampunker was sprited by former artist Sarah "Waffles" Data.
    • One of the Steampunker's possible names, Whitney, is also the name of Cenx, one of the lead developers of Terraria and Redigit's wife.
      • If the Steampunker is killed, she will drop the Ivy if her name was Whitney.
      • The Steampunker’s Shimmered form has green hair, another nod to Cenx.[2]
    • The name Minerva is a reference to the Roman goddess of handicrafts and wisdom.
    • The name Zelda may be a reference to the Nintendo game series The Legend of Zelda.
    • The name Ada is a reference to the 19th-century English mathematician and writer Ada Lovelace, who pioneered work on Charles Babbage's "computer."
    • One of the Steampunker's quotes regarding the Pirate comments states that he seems to be "pretty well over the bay," which is a 19th-century Celtic phrase meaning drunk.[3]
    • The Steampunker is the only Hardmode NPC that can also be obtained in a regular pre-Hardmode world that is not a secret world seed.

    • Her quote, "I'm mighty curious about that <name of Cyborg> fellow. By what manner of consumption does he maintain such locomotion?" implies that she does not know the Cyborg very well, despite the Bestiary entry for the Cyborg stating that he was built with the combined efforts of the Mechanic and the Steampunker.
    • The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Steampunker: "The Steampunker has a particular taste for steam-fueled machinery and gadgets. She sells her gizmos with an endearing accent."
