How for the developers to make more money

[Starfoth The Burgundy Silk Rug]

Possibly a chain of cheap DLCs that add small things such as:
>More common items(furnature of the like)
>A series of new NPCs
>A few new non-hardmode bosses
>A pack with upgrades to all existing NPCs inventory
>A few more ways to get hardmode NPCs and items to non-hardmode worlds (IE I'm tying to build a non hardmode city that has the riches from all my endeavors. A government center with a governor NPC?)

Honestly; the developers are awesome and the money will help them and the game. Sleeping Dogs made chains of DLC, why not this game?

Well....DLC or not these are features on my personal wish list. I would gladly pay for each of them.

They're already adding NPCs, bosses, events, furniture (there were hundreds of furniture items added very recently), weapons and armor... all for free!

Which makes them no money. Well, not directly, anyway.

I'm all for indie devs making more money for their work, but I'm not sure DLC works in a game like Terraria. If you want them to get more money, pread the word about their game, or ... is Terraria merch a thing? I guess you could buy some. :p

Yeah, if you just want to encourage developers, simply send them money, buy their games full-price instead of in a sale, buy multiple copies (I did that with a couple games), anything like that.

If they made more money they could definitely add more content, which is a good thing.

The last one on my list is the #1 thing I've been hoping for

They'd have to disable a bunch of items in many characters' inventory, but it'd be doable; they'd just have to check other world saves for the relevant NPCs via some new NPC or something.

I think motivation is where the problem might be. How many players want, specifically, a *non-Hardmode* world with all NPCs in it? I'm guessing it's not something many people would be interested in, so they're more likely to focus their efforts on other things.

Either way, Terraria is nowhere near complete despite the great amounts of content that it already features, so it's all good; we'll be seen more nice stuff in the future.

I'd always love to have a town that is self-sufficent.
When the town members don't do anything, they all die! Wonderful.
Now they just sit in their rooms and do aboustly nothing.
I WANT THEM TO WORK FOR ME.

They gather items from far away lands for you. Problem is; it costs them and you.

That's the traveling merchant.
Everyone else just sits there.

I'm not for the idea of DLC. I've never been for it. Redigit provides updates for free, which is what inspires me to support this.

As others have said, if you want to provide additional support, either send money to him, or buy multiple copies of Terraria to send to your friends or trade.

They make stuff; how do you think they keep having more of what they have?

Considering I can buy thousands of torches without letting the merchant get out of my sight, I'd say they are all just wizards.
