How to Trigger a Martian Invasion in Terraria
To start a Martian Invasion in Terraria, you gotta let the Martians spot you first! Just hang out in the outer two-thirds of the map, away from the center, and make sure you're above ground. Once a Martian Probe finds you and escapes, the invasion begins. It's like playing hide and seek, but with aliens!

Actually, all you need is patience. The Martian Probes appear at random, so just keep exploring the skies on the side of your world. Eventually, you鈥檒l bump into one. Remember, don't destroy it!
Just look for a Martian Probe in the space layer or high in the sky, but only in the outer parts of the map. Let it see you, then let it go. The screen will flash, and bam, Martians are coming to visit.
Pro tip: The Martian Madness event won't trigger if there's already a big event happening, so make sure your calendar's clear if you're planning an alien encounter.
