Steampunker in Pre-Hardmode

[Benji]

I'm aware that it's possible to use them in pre-hardmode worlds, but does using the mechanical eye, or any other mechanical item, enable the Steampunker to spawn when the boss is killed?

I dont believe so. Im pretty sure one requirement for the steampunker is to be in hardmode.

I thought as much. Thanks though!

you can use tedit to modify world file to force steampunk npc

I have the steampunker in two prehardmode worlds.

Edit: it they came from me killing mech bosses. But this was also soon after the update with achievements and moonlord.

Was this through T-edit or through spawning a mechanical boss in a pre-hardmode world?

Nope, but if you can't do it now, it is probably because they patched it out since the time I did it.
