How Fast Does The Corruption Actually Spread?

[@arctic3927]

The reason the jungle takes so long is because the mud first has to be converted to dirt then it can spread

[@soupth2975]

And the fact that it was on the side of the hallow and hallow doesn't take over the mud and convert it into dirt.

[@codinghub3759]

No, its because of chlorophyte. Read the wiki- Chlorophyte ore and bricks stop the spread of corruption, hallow and crimson near them.

[@soupth2975]

@@codinghub3759 Thats not true. Chlorophyte ore can slow it by creating less blocks for the evils to infect, and it can uninfect and convert dirt and grass and turn it into jungle grass, but it will not stop stone from being converted.

[@codinghub3759]

[@aquilazyy1125]

[@ovrsurge4689]

It takes longer in his world because he likely didn't break any demon altars (spreads a block of corruption or hallow randomly in the caverns layer) and that the hallow doesn't spread into the jungle meaning it could only come from the original corruption biomes to the right.

Hey man, great video so far. I've delved into the code of how corruption spreads for modding reasons and at 1:25 where there's a small strip of sand unaffected, it's because the game's growth spreading code which happens once every tick samples a random block from the entire map and if it's a corruption block, it then samples a block adjacent + however many blocks the corruption can spread from. The thing is at the start and end of the map the world is cut off early (I'm guessing so NPC's and things like the angler can spawn off screen without breaking the game) by about 20 blocks or so, so it can never actually spread to these blocks, as the actual block sampling is (x+-20) (y+-20) Hope this made some sense.

The only thing here is the fact that the jungle can defend against corruption (chlorophyte turns dirt to mud which has to be reverted to dirt before becoming corrupt, and the hallow can't actually convert the jungle at all).

[@lukario2666]

How it works (I think) is that the C/C converts mud to dirt, and then tries to spread grass onto that dirt, so it'd in theory go half as fast, and corrupt far less because it can only actually spread to blocks touching air. IN theory. However, chlorophyte turns dirt blocks to mud at around the same speed as the C/C converts mud to dirt, and then turns the mud to chlorophyte, making it un-corruptible. This means that they usually neutralize each other. It still spread to the jungle because chlorophyte has a limit, meaning it won't spread jungle-ness if there's too much chlorophyte in the area, C/C does not have this limit.

Yeaaaaah, that math ain't mathin. Cause in my terraria world, I was at 25% corruption, in less than 100 terraria days. Then again, this video is 3 years old so updates likely increased corruption speed. But yeah, I have like anywhere from 10 to 14 hours in-game which is equal to 10 to 14 terraria days. Yes, 1 hour in real time is 1 day in Terraria, minus the times you use a bed of course. Anyways, yes, I had a BUNCH of my world get corrupted in those days. It was absolutely ridiculous. Like I had to clear that shit out and FAST. I got it down to 19% after basically nuking an entire corruption biome and curing it. Though this is likely only on the surface level. Corruption and Crimson both have a very subtle way of spreading FAST. First off, deserts and beaches are the fastest to corrupt, followed by forests. Jungles are the slowest biome. Mushroom Biomes are immune to corruption, as is Snow, however Ice can corrupt which is why snow biomes can corrupt. The corruption spreads ridiculously fast and the only way to slow it down without directly intervening with the Cleminator or Purification Powder is by killing Plantera. Killing Plantera lowers corruption and hallow speed by 50%. So yeah, fair warning, don't think you have like MONTHS before your world corrupts. In actuality, you have about...a full 48 hours (roughly) if you do absolutely NOTHING to stop or hinder it's spread. Which, yes, more than enough time to have easily beat the game. But still, don't get complacent. The more tiles that corrupt, the faster it can spread.

[@max_the_mage]

fun fact: in journey mode you can increase the time even more by sleeping in a bed, and the effect is multiplicative (24 * 5 = 120x normal speed). this makes a single terraria day/night cycle, or what would normally be 24 minutes, pass in just 12 seconds. Meaning you could have gotten toe the point you got to in the video in just 5.8 hours of afk time

[@kratelox7383]

first off for the jungle, the only thing that can be corrupted in it is the grass. Once there's no more ability for the corruption to spread (because it cant spread more than 3 blocks through the ground), it would stop.

Spreading the hollow in places around ur main pylon biomes help a lot because the npcs wont leave if there is hollow but the leave if there is corription. So in my playthrough i turned my ocean, jungle, spawnpoint, and dessert into hallow. Yes this is not that necessary but i was playing multiplayer and the rate at which we progressed was slow thus risking the pread of corruption.

Enjoy being mauled by unicorns and blasted into oblivion by Gastropods. I hate both corruption and hallow.

*me breaking as much demon alters I can not knowing that the corruption will spread*

[@lunchbox3513]

It is weird to hear that the jungle gets corrupted very slowly but when I play it seems to get corrupted 2 times faster than everything else but I guess not

[@KKdessu]

I feel like they might've drastically slowed down the mud to dirt conversion rate in 1.4, therefore the slower jungle corruption speed. Also, bear in mind that is without any altars broken, and you break at least 3-4 once you enter hardmode. Which means even faster corruption spread. (And if you're extremely lucky, you get a corruption spread straight in the middle of the jungle)

[@budofchaos]

spreads fast when playing normally, then doesn't spread at all when you (for some reason) want a world of complete corruption

[@Shockwave224]

Man.. I totally forgot about the spread and when I realized it was already too late. RIP my world

[@bakubread9308]

I didn't even know the Jungle COULD be corrupted without the player interacting with it

[@mellowYellow123-r1q]

It got to my hotel on the very end of the game I don’t even wanna play anymore everyone dies constantly

[@lieutenantsun2584]

FYI, I found out that the time can sped up more if you combined the 24x with the bed’s 5x when sleeping.

In Terraria, there is a visual world border (where your camera stops) and a real world border (The edge of where blocks actually exist). Between those, however, is another border, beyond it all block interactions fail to work. Grass and corruption/crimson/hallow doesn't spread, trees, vines, planter boxes and tall grass don't grow, and surely plenty others. That's why a strip of land was left at the edges.

[@Sunnysideanyway]

I didn't know it takes so long for evil to spread over the jungle.

[@favzi36]

That moment when you tryhard to kill Plantera in Terraria so you won't have to fix your damn world later

[@glossygamer7283]

Just a question when did you hit 10k? Btw congrats on hitting that milestone

[@beaverrac]

Thanks! I hit 10k today.
