Terraria – I want more hardmode metals than just 3!

terraria

I have broken like fifty (exaggeration) crimson alters in my world and I only keep getting the same three metals palladium, orichalcum, and titanium. I know there are other metals, but It just keeps blessing my world with the same three metals. I want the ores cobalt, mythril, adamantite, and chlorophyte. How can I get these different ores and why does my world keep giving me the same metals every time I break a crimson alter? Are some of these ores only on the mobile version or can I get them all on the pc version? I also have another question, how come every time I make a world I always get crimson why do I never get corruption?

Best Answer

The reason is:

When you create a new world, there is a chance that world will spawn a variant of an ore.
Variants don't do anything apart from look different.

Taking what I just said:
It's probabally that you're unlucky enough to have all the hardmode ores chosen to spawn their variants instead of the original ore.

Your only hope is to create a new world, activate Hardmode and hope that you get the main ores instead of their variant, as Altars never spawn in any other than the ones predefined to the world.
(So if you've got Cobalt, Mythril and Adamantite.. You're never going to see Palladium, Orichalcum or Titanium in that world. Same goes if you have Cobalt, Orichalcum and Titanium, you'll never see Palladium, Mythril and Adamatite.)

For reference: Taken from the Terraria Wiki
Copper may be replaced by Tin,
Iron may be replaced by Lead,
Silver may be replaced by Tungsten,
Gold may be replaced by Platnium,
the Corruption may be replaced by the Crimson,
Colbalt may be replaced by Palladium,
Mythril may be replaced by Orichalcum,
and Adamantite may be replaced by Titanium.

Meteorite, Obsidian, Hellstone and Chlorophyte remain the same in all worlds.
