The actual slowest you can move in Terraria… ZERO!
The actual slowest you can move in Terraria… ZERO! Seven months ago, I made a video about the slowest you can move in Terraria. Essentially, by stacking every negative movement debuff, medium, and block possible, we can force our
Player to move at a molasses pace, which for this atrocious setup ended up being around 20 blocks per hour – horrendously slow. However, ever since that video, I’ve always wondered if we can go slower. But, I couldn’t just slap on another
Debuff – I already slapped every debuff on – so going slower would require a novel setup. And today, I present that novel setup. Not only is it far, far simpler than the last stackfest, it is also more effective, reducing our speed to not twenty blocks per hour,
Not ten blocks per hour, not five blocks per day, but ZERO blocks, per… forever. So, how does this work? Well, as I said before, it’s dastardly simple. It involves only two elements: the Mighty Wind and a Frozen Slime Block platform.
Let’s start with the Mighty Wind. If you’ve watched my video on the Mighty Wind, you’ll know that it works by imparting acceleration on the Terraria player in the direction of its flow, with a certain magnitude depending on factors like wind speed,
Vertical velocity, and player movement. There’s a lot of details in that video, but what we need to know here is that when you’re trying to move on the ground and the wind speed is 25 miles per hour or less, the Mighty Wind pushes you with an acceleration of
0.048 pixels per tick squared, or 60% the base acceleration of the Terraria player. Then, there’s the Frozen Slime Block platform. Frozen Slime Blocks are most known for their attribute of being completely frictionless, but they have other effects too. Like most “ice” blocks, Frozen Slime Blocks are slippery, meaning you accelerate more
Slowly when running on them versus normal blocks – unless you have Ice Skates. While most “ice” blocks decrease your acceleration by 0.7x when running on them, Frozen Slime Blocks decrease your acceleration by 0.6x. So, when you are running on Frozen Slime Blocks
Without Ice Skates, your acceleration will be 60% of what it normally is. See where I’m going here? Let’s put them together. If we have the Mighty Wind blowing us backwards with acceleration equal to 60% of our base player acceleration, and we try to run forward on Frozen Slime
Blocks at 60% of our base player acceleration, then our net acceleration ends up being zero. This means if you are still, you will never accelerate, and thus, never start moving, even as you press your movement key. No matter how long I wait,
I will never start moving – not even an inch. Thus, the slowest you can “move” in Terraria while trying to move is ZERO. I hold the key, but yet I am still. Hello! I hope you enjoyed this video. A bit of a late continuation, but better late than never!

This is a setup for zero acceleration, which can be used to get zero velocity while trying to move (when starting from rest).
If you start with velocity and try to move, you'll just continue moving at the speed you were moving at, with no velocity change (since acceleration is zero).

Terra in 5 days: What is the fastest you can move in terraria?
Can be even simpler: do not touch the keyboard.
Me explaining to the officer why I can't move while I'm eating Legos in the middle of the road
0 means no move so .. Doesn't that mean this video is completely false?
I can think of another simpler way to not move at all
Never got this early before
A good idea for how to reach zero speed with no extra things would be to simply not put in an input, as that way unless you are in a sand/snow storm you will not be moving
finally, standing still in mighty wind. who would've thought that the solution was an ice level all along
ah yes
my favourite
additive multipliers
the same way you can brick 2 guns in deep rock galactic survivour
I was so sure he was gonna say "don't touch your movement keys"
at that point its not even moving.
making this video pointless.
There is a much simpler way to get the same result:
Don't press any movement keys.
This reminds me of an old thought of "what's the slowest possible fall/longest time to fall from space to the underworld?"
Is actually more like the previous video of stacking effects that decrease fall speed but don't stop it. Umbrella, featherfall, climbing claws (only one so that you slide against the wall, not full grip), sinking in honey, pressed against honey blocks, etc.
The climbing claws and honey blocks might not count if we only consider a free fall, but otherwise could massively decrease falling speed.
Curious if the game considers you standing still or moving, wonder if the shiny stone would work while moving at 0 speed
Now try to get even lower to the point that your speed is negative and you just start to moonwalking backwards
Just don't press wasd🤓🤓🤓
“I hold the key, but yet, I am still.”
-Terrasteel, 2024
that information is gonna be so useful for the terraria community!
this is just not pressing the keyboard but with extra steps (i haven't scrolled down the comment section, but i'm guessing everyone has come up with this exact same idea already)
Or just not touching and movement buttons
The question is: does this depend on precision? Could it ever happen that 60 – 60 ≠ 0?
Interesting
I have no acceleration yet I must run
