don't downplay it like that ... devs stated that Terraria was one of the main inspirations and the devs take a lot of its mechanics into account when they designed many of their own.

for example, even though not identical it shares many of the same functions, how benches are upgraded. a little different in Terraria being you don't upgrade a single bench multiple times rather create several variations that craft various different items each, the basic table being the staple in this case.

food buffs are also very similar in function, not even that far a step away from how Terraria does it. theres more but they also used Dark Souls as another main influence to the mechanics. regardless, as others stated, both are great games but Valheim is still more satisfying for myself.
