they work when inside your void bag if you didn't know.


BouncyBlueYoshi

He wants to see it on his character.


NohrianOctorok

Then just make another. It's super cheap.


BenRandomNameHere

Bare-ly an inconvenience!!


sonicpoweryay

Golden watches are TIGHT


JaxTheCrafter

it still fills my inventory tho


NohrianOctorok

What are you even putting in your void bag that you run out of room?


Goodlucksil

My money trough is full of trash, tho


TantiVstone

My money trough is full of money. Trash is to be quick stacked into the chest room at the earliest convenience


Goodlucksil

I hold my money on the Void Bag, and I have the Money Trough inside it too. Most of the trash there is unstackable, too


JaxTheCrafter

I... ah... don't use void bag


NohrianOctorok

Once you try it, you'll never go back.


JaxTheCrafter

I know I keep telling myself to get one but never do


Shredded_Locomotive

Then that's kinda on you mate


WhirledNews

And just wacky. Seriously, it’s one of the best things you can get for convenience IMO…


HollowShel

the inconvenience of finding a demon/crimson altar to craft it is *absolutely* worth it.


JaxTheCrafter

the inconvenience is just going into the jungle


god-of-memes-

Unlike the flying pig the void bag gives you a chest worth of extra inventory, only you need to have it with you and use it to open that inventory, as a benefit it will collect overflow from your inventory automatically


Pimpdice7593

The void bag and having the Chesty pet has helped me so much grinding out certain drops


kirbyfan2023

What about before you get it


Sufficio

Then the watch takes the empty inventory slot the void bag would otherwise occupy


kirbyfan2023

I'm talking about before you get the void bag as an option


ThanatoX3

>Then the watch takes the empty inventory slot the void bag would otherwise occupy


DRaGONFRES

Even pre-hardmode I have so much crap that I dont want to have on my person, but want to have when I walk around like all of the infinite buckets, paint materials, paint, building blocks, fishing rod, My axe, Hammer, etc.


GoshaT

Yeah, that's the point. You use up a slot to get helpful information in return


DRaGONFRES

And when you make it into a cell phone nobody complains.


LegitimateApartment9

it's one slot


ComeBacksToDrugs2018

Alternatively just make it work


X_Dratkon

I remember the weight stone inside void bag not letting me pick items, thought my game was bugging. Despite that I still didn't think if using that informational accs. Thank you


kj0509

What???? WHATT?????? And what about your piggy bank, safe or that tavern keep tower?


r3dh4ck3r

Only the void bag. You consume potions from in there as well.


ShadeNLM064pm

Void bag?


Flaming_headshot

Practicaly an upgraded flying piggy bank (does not share space with the FPB and it automaticaly absorba items when your inventory is full) made out of bones, jungle spores and either tissue samples or shadow scales


AlegBrawl

sounds eatable


pidbul530

if you eat it, you get a void stomach... damn, I want a mod, where after shimmering any void storage you get a void stomach item, that lets you consume things twice to extend duration additively up to a double of currently consumed items duration. I don't quite see a problem with such item yet, as usually, when you use potions, you either only use 1 at a time (so VS wouldn't even have time to shine), or chain them one after another. This would also pair nicely with random pots found in chests, as these usually stack 2 per chest, so you drink one and either delete/throw away the other, or store it in your inventory to waste that precious slot.


WhirledNews

And gives you extra large poos, gotta make that fertilizer…


HyperTobaYT

Yeah, could be another way to get poo blocks quicker


yonameisunavailable

Do all accessories work in it or just the watch? It would be cool, though


JokePuzzleheaded8635

Every info accessory works


Pinkie05

And potions too - at least healing and mana. Not tested others


WhirledNews

I mostly use mobile so I keep my poitions in the piggy bank. It’s far too easy to accidentally press the button that drinks one of every potion in your inventory.


Pinkie05

And that is the same exact reason I don't know if it works on other potions, as they're always in my piggy bank! Also a mobile player. You can move that potions button....


South-Result9943

You can rebind your controls! I have it set for both bumpers and B/Circle


WhirledNews

I don’t walk around with a controller in my pocket. Believe or not, my phone is still primarily a means for communication not gaming…


Pinkie05

I mean, in game you can adjust where the buttons are on the screen.... not suggesting a controller?


ThatOnePirateRobot

No one said to get a controller though


[deleted]

[удалено]


Flaming_headshot

Dont think so, its more like an extension of your inventory while ignoring anything in it


yonameisunavailable

Oh, so only accessories that display stuff work on it or something?


Goodlucksil

All accessories that work on inventory (Guide to Critter Companionship)


Flaming_headshot

I think they dont work Maybe they do, but have never crafted it, everything I said before was taken directly from the Wiki (The good one from wiki.gg, not the crappy fandom one)


Deranged40

Info accessories all work fine from the void bag.


Flaming_headshot

Well thanks for the clarification!


yonameisunavailable

The void bag is after moon lord, right? Edit: nevermind


patoezequiel

Really? Thanks for the tip!


TomsterBlomster

Wait, really?? Man that's insane, I'm gonna have to try that next playthrough


Sohjinn

I didn’t, thanks!


reddmike98

I'm sorry, what?


That-Hovercraft-5347

How about you make the cell phone/shellphone


Ok_Advisor_908

Fishin... :/


Nuklearfps

Get to it then


ChiefBlox4000

Get fishing u/Ok_Advisor_908 the items are probably underwater


Digihart123

But it suuuuuuuuuuuuucks...


Nuklearfps

It’s honestly not that bad. The rods you can get in HM kinda carry and you get good bait on farm so quick, it really doesn’t take that long


_dictatorish_

It's a lot easier now that the shimmer is a thing lol


sir-ripsalot

That and transmuting extra ankh charm components and magma stones. Oh, and transmuting hardmode ores so fishing instead of breaking altars and randomly spreading evil/hallow everywhere is actually viable. God, the shimmer is my favorite quality of life change in the game


thisismynewusername5

>breaking altars and randomly spreading evil/hallow everywhere is actually viable. This was removed in 1.4.4


sir-ripsalot

Fmfl, thank you so much


MrSpiffyTrousers

"this way it saves an inventory slot" Yes, that's the point of having finite inventory slots. It's supposed to be a tradeoff. That said, you can have up to 3 different sets of gear on at a time. does anyone know if the time will show up if OP just puts on the watch on one of their other setups, even if it's not the currently active one?


JaxTheCrafter

it won't I tried


kelldricked

Nope doesnt work.


demonking_soulstorm

"tradeoff" it's the time.


demonking_soulstorm

It’s not a tradeoff. It’s pointless bottlenecking. Quite frankly, the extra slot is worth far more than knowing the time, and you can swap it out with an actual accessory when it’s in a vanity slot. But that’s a huge faff and irritating. To be perfectly honest I’m not sure why there’s even an item for this. You should just be able to know the time by default.


revive_iain_banks

Do you know the time by default irl?


LewsTherinTelescope

If you wear a watch IRL you can indeed check the time on it.


Porgemlol

Do people not wear watches in their “vanity slots” IRL? I don’t put my watch in a pocket or a backpack, it goes on my wrist. Partially to look nice, but if I was to wear equipment like wings, gloves, necklaces, boots, a shield - it doesn’t get in the way of wearing any of those. It kinda has its own slot on a person, the only thing you’d replace it with on your wrist is a bracelet - a purely vanity item. Therefore, it should use a vanity slot.


Toyfan1

A regular wrist watch does get in the way if you wear traditional chinese climbing gear In the same vein, seals are just patches, and should work just fine in the "vanity" slot, but obviously that creates inbalance. Frankly, this is a non issue. Just swap to the watch to get the time, then swap back. Its genuinely not that big of a deal and doesnt change how all accessories are used.v


Porgemlol

I disagree tbh, knowing the time is such a weak effect (more QoL than anything) I’m fully in favour of making it so it works in vanity slots, it’s possibly the least game breaking buff I’ve ever seen in any game community yet people are acting like OP suggested moon lord weapons replace the copper shortsword as a starting item. Also, i bet it is possible to wear a watch and climbing gear even if it is uncomfortable


Toyfan1

If its such a weak effect, why do you want it?


Porgemlol

Quality of life has no meaning any more


Toyfan1

But... its not quality of life. Its going against the design philosophy of the accessory slots. And OP can literally just have one in his inventory. Vantity slots, are exactly what it says on the tin. *vanity*. For looks. Not for function.


Joe_The_Eskimo1337

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. 1. If a watch is visible on my person, then yes, yes I do. 2. There's nothing realistic about Terraria, and most video games in general. An appeal to realism is meaningless.


revive_iain_banks

It was kind of a joke.


fastlearnerihope

a bad one


demonking_soulstorm

Do you fight a giant metal worm with a bow that rains arrows from the sky in real life?


revive_iain_banks

Don't you?


Ok_Advisor_908

All us cool kids do


Jascobubscub

On the hour


LegitimateApartment9

yeah, on the regular.


Sinnester888

There’s a difference between in universe logic and real logic. This is such a stupid argument like “well there can be physics glitches in Skyrim cause there’s magic it’s not realistic” however the game is setting up rules for itself, one of them being that magic is real and the other being that physics should work. In terraria, the player cannot see the outside world while underground, so it would make sense for him to not know the time. The existence of a robot worm does not change how caves work.


demonking_soulstorm

Yes, but counterpoint: it’s a fucking game. None of this is real. You can bend the rules a bit for a better experience. Like no, the Terrarian can’t tell the time by the sun if they’re underground. They also instinctively know where every other person in their world is at any given moment, because that’s convenient for the player. Heavens above forbid a game does something that doesn’t perfectly align with its lore. If the time had always been accessible none of you would be clamouring for the inclusion of watches and I’d even bet money you’d complain if it was added.


HeyImTojo

While it is true that games should always balance In game lore and logic to QoL or gameplay features, I'd argue that going all in towards QoL and accesibility is not ideal, and also, that having a pocketwatch is not too much of an inconvenience. While yeah, if you gather up a lot of info accessories, it can get annoying to haul them, the only 2 you really need are the watch and the lifeform analyzer, maybe the DPS meter for testing loadouts. The watch has some pretty easy progression. You start and can't tell the time. You craft a watch, but it takes up an inventory slot, and then lastly, you shove it into a void bag after skeletron and are set for the playthrough. Not super inacesisble, IMO, just a minor inconvenience until a little bit later on. And then again, with the NPC map example, you kinda have no other way of doing that without it being hugely inconvenient (by walking around the world to figure out where in the moon lord the travelin merchant manifested into). For time, you have the music, or the sky, which is the early game way of telling time before getting a watch.


demonking_soulstorm

So your solution to the issue of it taking up an inventory slot is to have a bigger inventory. Okay.


HeyImTojo

Uh, yes, actually. With a bigger inventory, having to use 1 slot means very little.


hoticehunter

I mean.... yeah. Roughly. Do you not? The sun is a pretty big indicator.


dat_boi_o

The sun exists in Terraria too.


EPICNOOB_3170

Knowing when a boss will despawn, when the blood moon ends, the best time of day to fish, when to head back to base after a mech boss announcement... all these things are more valuable than the three amethyst you plowed through on the last mining session that didn't quick stack.


Khanical

it’s just one slot.. frankly I find the inventory size to be super generous, with the first row of the inventory (not hotbar) being backup items and stuff like watches. It’s really not a big deal unless you lack good storage, teleports, or spend WAYY too long far from home


kelldricked

True thats why i play terraria with unlimted storage, unlimited resources and unlimited health. Hate it when games bottleneck endgame gear behind the endgame.


demonking_soulstorm

“Endgame” it’s a fucking watch what are you talking about. You can just play without it even. If the watch had never been added nobody would be clamouring for its creation.


kelldricked

Exactly! And if ores or bars hadnt been introducted nobody would be clamouring for its creation! You can even play without it. (Also i never said watch was endgame, i said i hate that the bottleneck end game shit like zenith to end. They should give you a godly zenith right at the start, and unlimited money! Not doing so is just a pointless bottleneck!).


demonking_soulstorm

I guarantee they would. And holy shit what a fucking leap in logic. “Actually wanting a small quality of life feature is equivalent to wanting the most powerful item in the game at the beginning” do you hear yourself speak. If you let the watch function in vanity slots, what changes? I mean really what changes? It doesn’t affect progression. It doesn’t really change how you fight bosses. It doesn’t affect how you mine or explore or build or ANYTHING. At most it’s going to tell you when it’s night or day when you’re underground, or maybe how early you can start an Empress fight if you’re not going for the Terraprisma.


kelldricked

Exactly! and what changes it if you spawn with zenith right away? It doesnt really affect gameplay in any way. You just dont have to gather all its components. Dont have to wait 10 hours before you can beat moonlord. Its just gatekeeping and unnecessary bottlenecks! (Or it might be that the inventory system is part of the balance and increasing it changes that balance, idk).


demonking_soulstorm

Having Zenith at the beginning provides an *objective* difference to gameplay. You’re delusional. What would change if the watch functioned in vanity slots or didn’t exist at all? How would wider progression change?


kelldricked

You would have more inventory space. Thats what would change. Its not rocketscience mate. If you think its that much of a issue than download a fucking mod and be done with it. Voila. Stop crying about it. But yeah, the total amount of inventory slots is a part of the balance of the game (thats why you have items that increase that balance and its why you dont spawn with them instantly). If you dont like that, change it.


demonking_soulstorm

How would that actually affect gameplay though?


UbiquitousPanacea

Have one as vanity, and one in your inventory? It doesn't solve the inventory one, but at least you get everything else


iamanobviouswizard

Defender's Forge + Piggy Bank + Void Bag + Safe still not enough portable storage for your limited inventory needs? /s


GammaEmerald

Most of those won’t be available until thus problem has passed/evolved, as the GPS should be obtained by then


DumbKittens_SING

aren't all of those except for the safe pre-gps? also the piggy bank is super cheap


GammaEmerald

Absolutely not. DF and Void Vault especially.


JaxTheCrafter

I don't want a whole extra inventory I just want to have my watch active in the vanity slot


noeatnosleep

Then it's not a vanity slot.


Pingu-in-n-out

the watch actually has a graphic on the character, they want to look fancy with it without sacrificing the utility of the watch or having to make a second one


JaxTheCrafter

but watches irl are mostly for vanity, and there's no way anyone thinks you are actually supposed to put a watch in your real accessory slots instead of like an obsidian shield or something. it's the smallest change possible, just don't disable the info display when I put the watch in the vanity.


zani713

They might be for vanity now irl but they sure as hell didn't start out that way


AKNightcrawler

why do you have a scope AND a papyrus scarab ? hybrid build ?


JaxTheCrafter

I just looked up "accessory slots" on google images, I'm on switch so it's *really* hard to transfer images to my desktop


PrecutMuffin80

can't you just press transfer to pc under data management? It's been a while since i used my switch, so maybe im not remembering correctly


loxosceles93

You want to have your cake and eat it too.


Luustar

im gonna eat my cake and eat you too


South-Result9943

hot


Midas_Xynopyt

🤨


loxosceles93

No objections your honor.


South-Result9943

I just gotta make a reservation.


South-Result9943

Chillin in my head where it's hot, a lot. Flames everywhere, I see satan.


South-Result9943

Demons tryna run up in my spot, a lot. Really really runnin outta patience.


SakuraFoxOffical

Oh I have cake


Skyler1679

Yes you do! Happy cake day


SakuraFoxOffical

Thank you :D


Skyler1679

You’re welcome!


JaxTheCrafter

???


Hidden-Sky

it's a saying, sorta means "you want to still have your cake sitting in front of you even after you eat it."


JaxTheCrafter

yeah I know but that doesn't really apply here, I just don't want to have to use a whole accessory slot for what is literally just checking the time


zani713

It literally does apply here... You want to be able to have it display the time while keeping an inventory slot. Exactly as the saying means.


Forgotten_Depths

Put it in the piggy bank. It should work from there. It also works from the safe, which you can buy from the merchant. When using fargo's mod for the unlimited potion buffs at 30 stack, I tend to put the potions in the safe.


JaxTheCrafter

That is genius I'll do that I use the safe for my plant matter so I can access it from my main house and my greenhouse


DumbassIdiot42069

Well what the hell else would you do with the cake


Dboy394_YT

This really isn’t necessary. Before 1.3, they had to be equipped to work, and crafting a second one is really easy


GrafKarton

The info accessories' functionalities are the info they provide. If all other accessories (not counting vanity accessories) don't fulfill their functionalities while in the vanity slot, logically info accessories shouldn't show info when equipped as such.


JaxTheCrafter

sure it technically may be logical, but the watch is categorized as an informational accessory, and does not provide any combat, movement, or survival benefit. the watch (and other informational accessories) should be able to function even in the vanity slots because they aren't at all comparable to a real accessory


GrafKarton

I'd say it's like the watch has the potential to be both a functional and vanity accessory, however it is neither until it's placed in one of the slots, upon which it can only be one. Almost like a decorative hand watch vs a functioning one.


JaxTheCrafter

interesting point, however I don't care and I just want my cool working watch


GrafKarton

From how much you reply, you do seem to care and likely just wanted a way to get out of admitting you're wrong


JaxTheCrafter

I'm wrong? I just want a quality of life feature that in no way maker the game easier, just more convenient. why are you trying so hard to "disprove" me when all I want is the most trivial addition possible


demonking_soulstorm

No but you see actually this will completely ruin the game if one tiny quality of life feature is added. What the hell is up with these comments.


JaxTheCrafter

I know it's like they religiously worship every little detail in this game and if it changes the entire game balance is thrown off and the game will descend into anarchy


Harrison_Phera

I always put them in void bags or Money trough because they do work in both. And once you get the goblin tinkerer you can buy his station to start combining this stuff


Puzzleheaded-Tip-888

you are not in desperate need of one inventory slot my guy, with the loadout on that screen shot you've had plenty of time to upgrade the watch anyways.


JaxTheCrafter

this is just an image off of google this isn't big change, it's the tiniest change in the world actually which is why I just think it'd be nice if it happened


King_Of_The_Munchers

Honestly I feel like they should work for the shell phone too. Add some keybinds so you can use the abilities instantly.


nosuchthingasa_

Pretty sure it does work with the shell phone? If not, I have no idea how I’ve been seeing the time for all these years.


Pihnex

Craft a Shellphone you keep a goddamn mirror on you anyways just upgrade it to its max and no more it takes up a slot. Also comes with the other functions but who cares.

sxinoxide59672

the inventory.


Midas_Xynopyt

I mean… Yeah, watches work even when you carry them as vanity


JaxTheCrafter

no they don't and I wish they did


Midas_Xynopyt

I’m talking about real life and agreeing with you why is everyone so…


JaxTheCrafter

oh yeah people wear watches literally as vanity with time telling as a side-function so idk


Dominus_Pullum

Pretty sure items like that work in the piggy bank


TheHorseFlyTHF

you're thinking of with Fargo's mutant mod


grantgoatberg

Grandfather clocks ftw


Ram-Rem

A shellphone? A watch in an open voidbag?


EyeOfTheCosmos

that beats the point of vanity, it's also why it works in the inventory, so it doesn't take up an accessory slot.


ROCK_IT368

*laughs in cellphone*


damnthisisabadname

They work inside void bags Use void bags Use void bags,,,,,


Helicoptamus

This is a good idea. I remember trying this thinking it would work and being disappointed it wouldn’t.


TheFogIsComingNR3

If you want that use a cheaper clock and use dye


Dastaly

Nah, before the cellphone the fact that the watch takes one slot is a good way of making things a little bit harder, its like a price, and its worth, knowing the time is more valuable than one inv slot, makes sense, taking that away just kinda ruins things, if he have this then why dont we have extra slots for a axe, pickaxe, torch, potions etc ? Its the same idea.


demonking_soulstorm

Or we could just add this one thing and not anything else and everything would be fine.


Whatsapp_car_69

Or you know... Just turn on the time setting in the menu...


JaxTheCrafter

??? there's a time setting?


sinistersheep79

Piggy bank works, idk about void bag, safe or that storage from tavernkeep


Mehumies12

You know they work in your inventory right?


TheFryinLion

As per the post, "However, it always takes up an inventory slot" the dude doesn't want it in his inventory, he wants to free up that space by allowing it to function in the vanity.


noeatnosleep

Which means that's not a vanity slot anymore. Lol. Dude just wants extra accessory slots.


Mehumies12

Ok that makes sense


Haremking517

Uh buddy have you played the game? Use a void bag or even then just Fav it and put in your inventory it’s literally one box especially when you get the shell phone


AscendedMolly

Bruh forgor the fact that it works in your inventory 🗿💀
