Good Day everyone I am new to these forums and ubuntu myself. Now that Terraria is available for Linux I took the final jump from windows to linux since I don't play most of my games on windows anymore. But unfortunately I need to access the character folder since I didn't know how I looked it up and the ~/lib or user/lib/share Terraria would always be the answer which I searched and have no luck on finding.

Can anyone help me with this ~/Library issue? I just wanted to add a new character to my terraria collection

You could search the folder of Terraria, e.g. via

find $HOME -iname '*Terraria*'

The question was answered here. My "answer" is a simple copy and paste. Please upvote @lunbokss answer.

If you are playing the Steam version with an Internet connection, you can just let Steam do all that work for you by enabling cloud saving for your character.

Otherwise, your characters are stored in:

• Windows: <home folder>\Documents\My Games\Terraria\Players
• Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Terraria/Players
• Linux: ~/.local/share/Terraria/Players

However, if you're using Steam cloud saves, the files will be in a different location.

<Steam directory>/userdata/<Steam3 ID>/105600/remote/players

To copy a character, you will need both the .plr file and the folder that are named like your character. Technically, only the file is necessary, but the folder contains your minimap data.

Note, that .local is a hidden folder. Use Ctrl-H in your filemanager or ls -a in your terminal to see hidden files.

My apologies everyone turns out the file location was hidden and I thought it was some crazy trick to see that file location but then it hit me and I looked up how to unhide files and my problem is solved thank you all for your help :)
