# Terraria for Archipelago Setup Guide
|
|
|
|
## Required Software
|
|
|
|
Download and install [Terraria](https://store.steampowered.com/app/105600/Terraria/)
|
|
and [tModLoader](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1281930/tModLoader/) on Steam
|
|
|
|
## Installing the Archipelago Mod
|
|
|
|
1. Subscribe to [the mod](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2922217554) on Steam
|
|
2. Open tModLoader
|
|
3. Go to **Workshop -> Manage Mods** and enable the Archipelago mod
|
|
- If tModLoader states that you need version 1.4.3, follow the following steps
|
|
1. Close tModLoader
|
|
2. Right-Click tModLoader in Steam and select **Properties**
|
|
3. Navigate to **Betas -> Beta Participation**
|
|
4. Select **1.4.3-legacy - Legacy - Stable tModLoader for Terraria 1.4.3**
|
|
5. Update tModLoader through Steam
|
|
6. Open tModLoader and navigate back to the **Manage Mods** menu
|
|
4. tModLoader will say that it needs to refresh; exit this menu, and it will do this automatically
|
|
5. Once tModLoader finishes loading, the Archipelago mod is finished installing; you can now
|
|
[connect to an Archipelago game](#joining-an-archipelago-game-in-terraria).
|
|
|
|
This mod might not work with mods that significantly alter progression or vanilla features. It is
|
|
highly recommended to use utility mods and features to speed up gameplay, such as:
|
|
|
|
- Journey Mode
|
|
- Ore Excavator
|
|
- Magic Storage
|
|
- Alchemist NPC Lite
|
|
- (Can be used to break progression)
|
|
- Reduced Grinding
|
|
- Upgraded Research
|
|
- (WARNING: Do not use without Journey mode)
|
|
- (NOTE: If items you pick up aren't showing up in your inventory, check your research menu. This mod automatically researches certain items.)
|

|
## Configuring your YAML File
|
|
|
|
### What is a YAML and why do I need one?
|
|
|
|
The [basic multiworld setup guide](/tutorial/Archipelago/setup/en) can be found on Archipelago's website. Among other things, it explains what .yaml
|
|
files are, and how they are used.
|
|
|
|
### Where do I get a YAML?
|
|
|
|
You can use the [game settings page for Terraria](/games/Terraria/player-settings) here
|
|
on the Archipelago website to generate a YAML using a graphical interface.
|
|
|
|
## Joining an Archipelago Game in Terraria
|
|
|
|
1. Launch tModLoader
|
|
2. In **Workshop > Manage Mods**, edit Archipelago Randomizer's settings
|
|
- **Name** should be the player name you set when creating your YAML file.
|
|
- **Port** should be the port number associated with the Archipelago server. It will be a 4 or 5-digit number.
|
|
- If you're not hosting your game on the Archipelago website, change **Address** to the server's URL or IP address
|
|
3. Create a new character and world as normal (or use an existing one if you prefer). Terraria usually becomes
|
|
significantly more difficult with this mod, so it is recommended to choose a lower difficulty than you normally would
|
|
play on.
|
|
4. Open the world in single player or multiplayer.
|
|
5. When you're ready, open chat, and enter `/apstart` to start the game.
|
|
|
|
## Commands
|
|
|
|
While playing Archipelago, you can interact with the server using the commands listed in the
|
|
[commands guide](/tutorial/Archipelago/commands/en). To send a command, open chat, and enter `/ap`,
|
|
followed by the command you want to send. For example, `/ap !help`.
