Hello! As the title says the bubble machine and fog machine are not producing any particles. I am currently on TModLoader, graphics settings at max, and there is plenty of space around the machines (tried putting them in the open to see if it was the place I was putting them). I have tried turning them on and off, saving and quitting, removing texture packs, etc. I haven't been able to find anything elsewhere so if someone knows why this is happening I would greatly appreciate some insight!
So for... uh... research purposes, yeah, research, how is this done? I've been looking for a few hours with no progress and honestly I realize I could have made more money in the time I wasted searching but at this point I don't even care about the money I just want to know how it's done because I have tried over and over and it is frustrating without any results lmao
I submitted an illustrated explanation (as a bug report) on the official forums recently: http://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/multiplayer-issues-with-bubble-machine.5643/
If it's not working, you're probably in single player.
Edit: For clarity and credit, I didn't discover this issue myself. u/foka72 posted a demonstration of this here a couple days ago on this subreddit, original thread here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Terraria/comments/2mtj4s/this_happened_to_me_while_playingcould_be_used_as/
Not sure the exact conditions but the game needs to be run on a server for it to work. Does not work in singleplayer.
