Thorium adds many new tiers of crafting materials that are spread throughout the game. These new Tiers aim to aid progression, add variety and fill in niches that were not as explored in the Base game.

Several other miscellaneous crafting materials also exist to further increase variety, such as customization materials which allow the changing of armor set appearance.

Main Materials[ | ]

These materials can be obtained through crafting, enemy drops or mined blocks. These crafting materials can generally be used to craft a "set" of tools, weapons and/or armor, each with a special theme and properties common among the items crafted from the same material.
