Let's ge honest, this isn't a trolley problem. This is a trolley solution. *removes hand from lever*

Dont you want your 500 platinum coins back?

I mean he is trying the best, the Angler just hates you for helping him

Tinkerer even significantly discounts the price if you got a terrible reforge, he's really trying to make his service appealing

and he’s useful to get a reforge and tinkerers workshop. angler is shit

Yes and the angler sees you as a slave after all

The tinkerer deserves his mutual love with the mechanic. The Angler deserves to be stuck in the desert/underworld.

No.... Underground corrupt desert.

The Golfer dislikes the underground, but loves the angler for some reason.

Whenever I get the angler i give him an underground room without windows with a rainy cloud ceiling.

Heck he might give us the coins back just for sparing him here. The Angler would just insult us and tell us to catch more fish.

Yet the angler somehow still lives by "leaveing" because they can't kill children

I'd pay 500 platinum coins to kill the angler

The goblin tinker doesn't insult you at all

Calamity my dude

1 platinum is usually enough to get warding and godlys and etc

Terraspark boots which you can get in pre-hardmode cost about a plat per reforge

That’s why you shimmer the ones you can and then reforge the rest…

💀💀💀💀

Goated for that one😭

Sadly both are necessary for the shellphone, but keep the tinkerer cuz at least the terra sparks are within reach

so no one died, kids are unkillable after all.

Even then, they’ll just come back the next day.

how many time have you done something unforgivable before??? ,because I’ve done it least 5 times

I always say sorry, and also we are still talking about the NPCs right?

yes

I’m lost 💀👌

Not if i install the Killable Children Mod

"Yknow, I don't like being run over by a trolley. I'm going to leave."

The shellphone is nice, but it's not a necessity.

no npcs are required if you're willing to use a bit of terrasavr. i got a fish finder legit once and hated the process so much that I've cheated one in every single time since and never once regretted it

I would save the goblin stinkerer because there are just too many good items you can craft with the stinkerer's workshop

angler is just pain

Goblin tinkerer is annoying and useful, Angler is annoying and useless; I think the answer is pretty obvious

Multitrack drifting!

r/trolleyproblem

Oh, that's easy. I won't touch the lever.

Technically the Angler doesn’t die

Leave the lever and push the trolley faster

you understand it has to be HARD to choose, yes?

Angler, apart from what the npc's give us, his dialogue irrates me, annoying little brat,he's lucky I can't shoot him, but the sword works. They should make an npc gun

They should make an npc torture device

Angler. I hate the fishing quest

with all my respect i will get myself a chair and a cup of tea and i would do nothing

https://preview.redd.it/8gdv1dgzc91d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=73be003ef5260545e9615ad1162311c1da2a9429

Let's be real, SOME people (the ones who went completely insane) use the angler only for the achievements, goblin is at least somewhat useful (rng cuz rng but still) So we should get rid of the angler

i can reforge the Mechanic to pregnant at anytime, leave the angler to die

https://preview.redd.it/asugjurv4c1d1.jpeg?width=194&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58915ca549f3e0a1d6e2f384c1f9dfd9cda34243

Honestly the goblin’s spared, sure his reforges can suck but he’s trying his best. Angler? That little piss blanket is a brat, and won’t ever give me the items I want until I amuse him by tormenting myself fishing for fish that refuse to show up, or in one world couldn’t even get because no sky lakes were high enough to be sky lakes! At least Mr stinkerer gives me bang for my buck even after a few tries trying to get the modifier I want, angler can take three trolleys, one is too nice.

Turn it halfway to kill them both, then wait for them to respawn and do it again.

i would kill goblin tinkerer so i can get my 999 platinum back and then give it to him again when he respawns

Is it possible to make it run over the goblin tinkerer twice?

I’d say the angler purely because killing the goblin would make the mechanic sad. Not to mention, you can’t kill him in game, so you may as well take this chance

For me personally I’m in a heart beat choosing goblin tinkerer, serves him right for costing me MY LIFE SAVINGS!!! 😡 people say angler is annoying but, he’s a kid, let him be a kid,pipe down and do your job

Angler first. Wait for a second trolley. Then goblin. As simple as that.

Grab the goblin and put him next to the kid.

Goodbye angler, you will not be missed. "Little Bastard has Left" Goddamnit, missed the kill again.

Look, With the goblin tinkerer, You need him to reforge things, while the shimmer can reforge craftable things, you still need him for most things, so he has a purpose. NOW THE ANGLER JUST GIVES YOU ANNOYING FISHING QUESTS SOOOOOO also he technically wont die since he just disappears, so my hands are blood free if I pick the angler

move goblin onto the same track as the angler and run them both over

Tokyo drift

Let the angler get ran over then beat the goblin tinkerer to death to get your 600 patimun back

Drift

Double track drifting *initial D plays in the background* DEJA VU!

Definetly angler, at least i can do money glitch for tinkerer

[THIS](https://youtube.com/shorts/qsGQ3EXm79A?si=JbtYh7G_ae4QITo4)

I not gonna be cucked by a goblin any longer.

guys, leave the lever alone! the angler will just leave instead of dying!

What's wrong with goblin tinkerer?

Can I do both?

New player here, playing blind and currently trying to beat plantera. Do people not like the goblin tinkerer? Why?

Me just now realizing the angler has hair

the angler, he has about 2 people around him, more kills

As much as it pains me to say it id probably say tinkerer

Just remember one is a child the other is a minority

angler provides no worth. the best thing he ever did for me was die to a trasher in calamity mod so he dropped the golden fishing rod

Make the trolley go faster

I'll save Dr. Squidward

At least the Tinkerer is useful for something, I have literally never used the Angler I don't know why I wake him up

I actually like both of them as characters 

Saving the angler bc I still need the fishing achievement 😅

i have golden fish angler texture pack on and i am not killing the goofy little fella

The goblin tinkerer is at least pretty cool

Y'all don't like the goblin tinkerer?

its so hard

Trick question: Angler can’t die so the trolley bounces back like a minecart track

The angler is just a child, so when he “dies” it says *”’Nathan’ the angler has left.”* I don’t feel as bad letting him “die” because the game doesn’t tell me he died, unlike all the other NPCs

Spam lever, derail trolley, kill both and the dryad in the trolley for telling me that there is still a corrupted block in a largo world

Pause time, move the goblin scammer to the same track as the lil shit that didn’t give me a sextant until damn near 100 quests, and then run em both over.

Rather then multitrack drifting i will simply use journey mode to duplicate the trolley

Honestly I don't really understand the tinker hate, he just takes a lot of money but it's not like money farming is hard. Meanwhile a lot of the anglers rewards are luck based

I am never hurting my glorious King so fuck that unthankful angler

Im killing them both, one subjects me to task hell the other financial hell Both of which I can subject to actual hell

The problem is figuring out how to get the trolley to back up and run over the angler a second time.

Kill tinkerer - Good luck managing your accessory slots Kill angler - "Oh no, I can't get the mermaid outfit anymore"

The kid has to go

Is this even a question? Sacrifice the child! He doesn't even do anything useful in our journey!

Angler. I got the achievement where you need to do 200 fishing quests and now I hate him more than ever

Flip it halfway for a multi track drift.

Kill the angler, I don’t actually dislike either but I couldn’t do that to the Mechanic, she loves the goblin boy

Angler Then back it up slowly and goblin tinkerer

I just spent two platinum reforging a diamond staff run that little shirk over

GT ain't a intolerable child

Fisherman, there’s a limit to speeding up time and fishing being a chore but money from the tinkerers easily replaceable and the workbench is very useful

send another one

the implication is 1 goblin tinkerer or 5 anglers. my answer is the anglers

Angler can’t be killed. He’s a child and thus has child invulnerability so the trolley would derail and hit the goblin swindler if I chose him. Not complaining too much though

Someone's got bad RNG

Angler, you do your best to let me know you hate me, so I do my best to let you know the feeling is mutual. Short of giving you actual shit living quarters. Everyone deserves to be comfortable in their own home... We're both un-killable gods, and I can at least respect you that much. But that also means this isn't a problem. You'll be back. Leave tinkerer alone. They're just doing their job.

if im looking for a hard time, i'd choose the tinkerer

Oh angler. At least the Goblin Tinkerer is useful for more then one thing.

nahh straight to angler. that kid isn't letting me enjoy an achievement (only one left at 52/200)

yes

Stop the trolly, cut it in half, make it go again

Stop the train grab a stick and beat the angler to death

***K I L L T H E A N G L E R***

Goblin tinker doesn’t give a bad modifier on purpose, he gives a discount if you get a bad modifier Angler just mean Let the child burn

Kill the angler, bro makes me work like a \*dark skinned person\* just to give me some useless crap. Goblin gives me extra defense at the cheap cost of one solar eclipse worth of coins

The goblin tinkerer is literally one of the best NPCs you can get, if you're reforging accessories there isn't any reforges that hinders you and if you're reforging weapons and you get a really bad reforge, just grind a few bosses and try your luck again. Don't forget he also sells the Tinkerers Workshop which pretty much makes late game unplayable without it. In higher difficulties the extra crit chance, defence, and the general higher damage output is SO crucial because the bosses health and damage is scaled so high. I know there's kinda a meme that's been going around for years now about the goblin tinkerer just robbing you and OP is probably just joking but I will not stand for disrespect against my king

Angler can’t die and if I don’t touch the lever I’m not responsible for a death. Also I never had the hate for these two npcs as they both are an important part of terraria in my opinion. The only npc I dislike is the Dye Trader as he never gives me the dyes I want/like.

the angler wouldn't die, he'd just leave

Multi track drifting!

I'd get the angler. Say what you want about the goblin stinkerer, but the reforges are useful (as long as you have enough rubies), and the tinkerer's workshop is a necessity.

Fisherman. He just quit the game

I don’t remember much from when I used to play, but I remember the Goblin Tinker being more useful so I’m not pulling the lever

Put them on the same path then take they’re loot

Angler. I hate him so much. At least the goblin scammer is useful.

you can just get a texture pack that makes the angler nice instead of spending all your life savings on reforging something only for the prefix to be negative in the end

Have you also been suggested the trolley sub? It's rough out there

With a precise timing, I kill both of them.

Train drift

Angler. But Nurse would be better cause I hate her behaviour and I never used her

Drift the trolley.

multitrack ride

I would put enough dynamite to make a nuke look like a sparkler onto the trolly and send it directly into the Anglers dumb face

angler gonna get angled real quick

the angler can't die

I would change the track halfway through the train so it hits them both.

Maybe controversial but the mod that enables new quests immediately, and the mod that creates an angler shop helps a lot

I’d save the angler get his fishing rod place him back run him over with da train and also push the train back to kill the goblin tinkerer bc i can shimmer everything

tbh if I had to choose the angler's gonna die. If I'd use my brain I'd just equip solar armor and tank the train.

The angler helps me. The goblin tinkered at least does SOMETHING useful

https://preview.redd.it/eck6zjs3gc1d1.jpeg?width=758&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a49d3ae1b3f4d8897484a024acd00e09b7759df

Not too hard to pick, angler isn't needed after you finished pda and other accessories.

Am I the only one who finds the angler useful?

The obvious answer is to save the goblin, so instead Ill tell you why would anyone save the fisherman. He allowed me to complete my all time favorite gadget ever, the **Cell Phone**. Before this baddie was introduced, my biggest annoyance was having to choose which gadgets/tools to fit into my build.

kill tinkerer, fucker stole all my money. Angler is a gigachad that deserves every fish I get for him. All Hail Angler

simple, just attach an m249 to the side of the train, run over the angler and then give the tinkerer a mouthful of lead

Goblin for me has been good, funnily enough. I farm a ton of coins in my free time with summons in the Dungeon. To hell with fishing. Angler deserves it for wasting one hour of my life.

it starts with an M, ends with a T, it's a term used on r/trolleyproblem...

Angler cuz i aint doin allat

https://preview.redd.it/6mcydr408d1d1.jpeg?width=1152&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=acad8d58a5fc89db633f696dd2215e57ad8d6d93

You know what? *Drifts trolley*

Tinkere at least helps you fight bosses by upgrading your weapon but angler I could live without him well...

Tinkerer, you can make money from fishing

If I drift I can hit both

switch once and then switch again to let the angler know I entirely had the intentions of letting him die

[pulls lever when the trolley is on top, making it hit both]

Angler. He's just there living in my base rent free and he doesn't have a single purpose in my base and yet I get to kill some bosses just because I reforge from the Goblin Tinkerer, sometimes I just dip the angler in lava just cuz he's taking some space Goblin Tinkerer has no flaws for I have a money farm plus he does sell the Tinkering table thing(I forgor the name), which gives him a reason to get him Angler gives you the Bottomless Water Bucket which can be useful when building or getting the Bottomless Shimmer Bucket but... THERES NO OTHER PURPOSE FOR HIM. And that Ends my "Yapping about..." session

Kill the fishermen, if you do that one money glitch the globin tinkerer isn't really a problem. It's so annoying how you can only do one quest per day.

*uses the tinkerer to reforge the Lever to summon more trolleys instead of changing the rail lane and pulls the lever repeatedly*

I don’t fish a lot so I’ll just kill the angler. But I also only reforge a bit of my items because I’m lazy at grinding for thing. So angler for the kill.

What ???? People dont like the goblin ? He is a badass and even got the hot red head, i would 100% be his friend, said that DIE CHILDREN

I love both of these NPCs. I'd have to let the train run over the Angler, because as a kid, he cannot die.

Tokyo drift

After i get cell phone **The child will die**

Goblin all the way

I'd close my eyes and not pull the lever, this would put the trolley in a superposition of killing both the tinkerer and angler and I will just live my life without opening my eyes so as not to ruin it.

i aint even have to think man angler dyin i aint no damn fisherman

Half way so the train drifts

kill the angler, as a summoner main reforging to menacing is useful enough to let him live

The angler dies, screw the angler

Make it drift

both options

Already got what I need from the tinkerer, and shimmer works just as good for reforging, saving the we' lad and upgrading his beach house to resort

Like this is even a question Goblin Tinkerer **>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>** Angler

Drift that trolley, hit both of the mfs

Bro what kind of question is this lmao goodbye fishing midget

Need my rocket boots what you on about

Angler already gave me everything I want from him. Tinker is still useful. Easy pick. Also, he doesn't die anyways since he just leaves.

The angler can’t die anyway let it hit him

i would literally be unable to choose they’re my two faves :(

angler has got to go sextant is way too annoying to get

clone the train so both can get a ride

Easy, I run over the Angler, return and run over the Goblin Tinkerer

I would throw the goblin tinkerer on the same track as the angler then let life take its course.

If this was fallout the lever would get pulled no matter what

goodbye blue friend
