can you submit gifs for the build contests

[hard breach]

Why do you do this to yourself

Looks awesome don't get me wrong

Also what's the build contest Im hearing about

I am stupid and the activities announcement confuses me

[dark jewel]

its for the winter one

alzo i just enjoy building lol

i hope it goes to starboard or something

or atleast gets 3rd place

put a shit ton of effort into it

[hard breach]

Winter one

I may be stupid but I can not find the winter one

[dark jewel]

i think its in announcemnts

[hard breach]

Ouhh

[dark jewel]

Its done..

oh wiat

[dark jewel]

do you have any jungle builds? i need some refrences

[gritty anvil]

Yes actually

I uhh I like the jungle

[dark jewel]

yesssss thank you

these are sexy

[gritty anvil]

Laputa is technically a jungle build but I am sure that's not what ur referring to so no castle in the sky flex today

Some of these are like really old

[dark jewel]

ive seen that build 100 times lol

[gritty anvil]

Every time the topic of what's ur proudest biggest build drops I drop a pic lolll

[dark jewel]

mines now that snow house

i just need to make more

[gritty anvil]

Overall jungle is my most consistent biome ngl, the moment I started making stuff in it it's been mostly a solid style since

Maybe cause I don't build fucking asian stuff god bless

Cause I was shite at that until recently

[dark jewel]

lol

ive never made a build in that style

[gritty anvil]

Would have tarnished my jungle collection with some unpolished shit

[hard breach]

What's the trunk?

[gritty anvil]

I was messing around with overgrown

It's got no relevance to nothing but me wanting to do a little switch up on the overgrown fantasy with overgrown apocalyptic

[dark jewel]

https://www.pinterest.com/3hourssleep247/building-references/ my gallery i s HUGE now

[gritty anvil]

No need to post on Pinterest u got me covered LOL

[dark jewel]

i basically have every one of your builds

unironicly

[gritty anvil]

The known ones

My amino days hide some projects

[hushed badge]

123 is quite small

[gritty anvil]

What I had no balls to post on Reddit you can find in amino

[dark jewel]

bruh

[hushed badge]

do note I usually avoid saving generic stuff like houses

[gritty anvil]

Imma be real I uhh

I keep the Google pages open

Deranged behavior

[dark jewel]

bruhhhhh

insane

[gritty anvil]

I have a lot downloaded but I straight up just not do it unless I really know I can't find it

[dense sparrow]

just saw this on reddit earlier, didnt realize it was you. very creative with the big leaves and the trunk

[gritty anvil]

Thank uuu

I am making irl tree collection

Gotta step up my tree game

[dense sparrow]

my trees all look the same

I honestly hate making trees lol, theyre so tedious

[gritty anvil]

Can't be getting away with unspecified origin strange plant tree for the rest of time

[dense sparrow]

lol im in that group

called out

[gritty anvil]

This is definitely absolutely under no circumstances born from me joining a server

That's completely disconnected to the fact it's master mode survival

[dark jewel]

lol..

[gritty anvil]

I'm in no way learning trees because I cannot be bothered to farm strange plants

[dense sparrow]

this is what my reference page looks like, I saw yall were talking about pinterest. the program is called pureref its pretty cool, idk how I found it

[dark jewel]

use like the uh

u shuld add my winter builds

cos its cool'

[hushed badge]

oh I remember pureref

I just keep everything as a PNG file and call it a day

[gritty anvil]

I have

Folders

And also discord

I made my own server for a project and then just committed a whole lot of locked channels for terraria projects

Is a little more organized

Between the ten ref pages on the internet

[dark jewel]

preref?

seems cool....

may use

[gritty anvil]

The?

[dark jewel]

do you have a gallerlryry of all ur builds plx

[hushed badge]

nope

[dark jewel]

nooooooo

sad

[gritty anvil]

Indu

[hard breach]

I should make one of these

[hushed badge]

I mean you could just go through my reddit

[gritty anvil]

Indu my beloved

[hard breach]

Also yavor what is the trunk made offfdf

[gritty anvil]

Hallow cave wall red

Pearlstone rules my builds

[hard breach]

Ty

[gritty anvil]

I'm not touching indu trees lol

They are cool and vibrant but they are Indus style and pretty far from mine I think they will look hella off next to my other stuff

[dense sparrow]

I stole their shell-vine thingy for some of mine

[dark jewel]

how add textbox

[gritty anvil]

Can't blame

[dark jewel]

i just dowloaded its peak

[hushed badge]

oh btw in case yall forgot:

[gritty anvil]

I might steal shell vine if I ever get convinced to make a wysteria

[dark jewel]

i tried

[dark jewel]

ohhh

[weak hare]

Heyyy so sorry for asking but does anyone have any tips on how to make builds look better?

[gritty anvil]

A lot of em but I think generic tips fall short when I don't know what you are trying to improve and what you would like to achieve

[weak hare]

I lost all of my old worlds with builds I was proud of and I'd like to improve my biome houses

[gritty anvil]

Shiiiit

I've been there

[weak hare]

It sucks dude

[gritty anvil]

I know I was on the edge of giving up on the game

Three years into building and my sister accidentally gets a virus on the shared laptop

That's a hard one to come back from man my condolences

[weak hare]

Tyyy it just like sucks to learn all my hours of building pylon houses to impress my friends is like GONE

[gritty anvil]

It does suck a lot

As for biome house advice my advice is build with the biome

Make your colours and blocks match the terrain

[weak hare]

I'd love to like show my old builds but I never got a screenshot of them ;-;

[gritty anvil]

Oh that sucks a lot

I have screenies of a good amount of my corrupted files but some did go missing

[weak hare]

I just remember hating the underwater house and bridge I made in the Jungle ngl

[gritty anvil]

I love jungle builds

[weak hare]

Sameee I love the nature things but I hate steampunk

[gritty anvil]

Steampunk is tricky

I don't mind it but it's not my go to

I'm usually doing overgrown

[weak hare]

I honestly just don't vibe with steampunk

I honestly prefer doing scenic nature stuff with FLOWERS

[gritty anvil]

I like mechanisms I don't like put cogs onto everything and call it a day

I do mostly stick to nature tho, I like making trees

[weak hare]

Sameee I can never make them look to natural though

[gritty anvil]

Get good irl examples

[weak hare]

I love natural stuff but I can't build a pond to save my life and Trees are trees ;w;

[gritty anvil]

Freestyling it in-game always ends up kinda weird kinda flat

[balmy vigil]

Yo if was curious how do post my images? Do I have to do some verification thing?

[gritty anvil]

Yeah talk enough for a role

[balmy vigil]

Ah I see that's fair

[gritty anvil]

It kinda sucks but imgur links embed automatically so there's that if it helps

It took me like two weeks of talking to get role, some more some less for others

[gritty anvil]

Never made a pond ngl I just borrow the in-game ones...

[balmy vigil]

Oh so the moderation kinda sucks then

[gritty anvil]

It just takes a lot of talking to get it

[hushed badge]

the moderation makes sense, this server has 650k users

[hard breach]

Beebop

[gritty anvil]

Its automated but the amount of messages it takes and the way it's calculated makes it a bit slow

[balmy vigil]

Fair enough

[hushed badge]

agree with the slowness part

[gritty anvil]

With this amount of members pinging admin to say can I have image perms isn't really a good way to handle it

[hushed badge]

xp threshold needs to be lowered

[gritty anvil]

Agreed

[hushed badge]

there is another painful thing

imgur is banned in the UK, so our fellow UK builders can't use it

[hard breach]

Bones

[gritty anvil]

Fak

[balmy vigil]

Dang

[gritty anvil]

Reddit it is

And Pinterest

That does explain why some people complain not having imgur work for them at all tho

[hard breach]

Yeag

[balmy vigil]

Ill try to get the imgur links to worth then

[gritty anvil]

It's the better choice between that and waiting for the role to send pics

I used it briefly too

[balmy vigil]

Alr

https://imgur.com/a/7xfAMMY What do yall think about my builds for my main/first world?

Luckily Imgur wasn't that difficult then i thought

[gritty anvil]

They look nice, tho a bit empty

[balmy vigil]

ya i havent moved in yet i just finished building them

[shell violet]

Reduces bots

You get I guts

Imgur*

Bots don’t

@gritty anvil idk how to make the inside of that hole look decent

For like a long hallways

Idk how much wood/stone variants I should use

[weak hare]

You could do that paint thing where it looks like a corridor

[raven beacon]

[valid panther]

Is anyone good at wirings?

I'd like to see some stuff to get inspiration

[shell violet]

@hushed badge I found someone in need of your assistance

[hushed badge]

On it

[hushed badge]

Sent you an invite

[lyric cave]

thats fucking amazing

[full glacier]

Thanks but please no cursing, I'm only 12

[lyric cave]

okay

great job

[gritty anvil]

Idk toooo I don't do mc

[shell violet]

I don’t do building

[gritty anvil]

I be a 2d tree maker sry

[shell violet]

Tsk

You just don’t play Minecraft because the air pixels are too big

[gritty anvil]

Actually it's a skill issue

I struggle extremely with first person games

They rely on the mouse for movement and I'm not very good with using the mouse

[pulsar zealot]

I like fps game, i enjoy with both use mouse n ds5 or procon,

[gritty anvil]

I prefer keyboard movement since it's what I trained on

My reaction skills were horrendous for like the first ten years of my life and I ended up learning reaction thro games especially rhythm games

So I'm so bad at precision with the mouse

Which means shit at Minecraft

[shell violet]

Copium

I was right

[gritty anvil]

I broke my tooth falling because I have no reaction skills brother

[vagrant steeple]

its my fault for playing this game 😭

[gritty anvil]

I am next level skill issue

[vagrant steeple]

I get depressed everytime I open up this channel...

[gritty anvil]

I'm here to offer advice and yap about trees I'm good

[vagrant steeple]

I can make terraria farms Ig

I can post it here right?

[gritty anvil]

Yeah

[vagrant steeple]

gnome farm that uses spawn manipulation

it has to be built in a pre skeletron world

because being on a dungeon, which means unsafe dungeon walls and 300 dungekn bricks will count u being in a dungeon

and since its a pre skeletron world, the game attempts to spawn a dungeon guardian

dungeaon guardian only spawns on dungeon bricks so it attempts to spawn it on the spawning platform on the left side

but the interesting bit is with the naturally placed living wood walls

natural living wood walls only spawn 3 mobs, gnomes, squirrels, and bunnies

so instead of the dungeon guardian spawning, its the 3 mobs from the living wood walls

[celest bobcat]

Are you playing?

[stuck bear]

https://imgur.com/a/ibVLzSh

Final cbs

[analog adder]

How did you make that tree? Its more detailed than I thought you could do in terraria at the scale.

[stuck bear]

Spam strange plants + make sure theres empty space throughout the leaves

[analog adder]

Strange plants is genius

[stuck bear]

Yah play around with it. Strange plants & blueberries are very nice and go really well

[gritty anvil]

Ayyy I remember the progress sent here

Looks really gooood

[mellow cove]

How did they get the mushroom cap to glow like that? Theirs is 1st image and mine is 2nd https://imgur.com/a/LdESTUZ

[shell violet]

Either

• light producing wall
• illumante coating

I reckon

[mellow cove]

I tried the coating and that wasnt it

would it be a wall behind the blocks?

if it was a wall

[gritty anvil]

Looks like it might be gemspark to me

[shell violet]

Sapphire gemspark would be my first guess yea

[shy hull]

Im pretty sure its made of glowing mushroom blocks

Id assume sapphire gemspark

Idk if glowing mushroom blocks actually glow though

Yeah, glowing mushroom has its own glow

[mellow cove]

I have glowing mushrooms in mine as well

His post said he used living wood painted white on the inside as well

Which is what I did

[shy hull]

That might be the dark layer on the bottom

Not sure though

[gritty anvil]

Nah the texture of the shrooms is definitely living wood

I am betting on the gemspark

[mellow cove]

gemspark walls behind the living wood?

[thorn saddle]

imgur is still broken for me, its been months btw

[gritty anvil]

Yup the sapphire ones

[mellow cove]

ok ty, ill try it

[tiny kayak]

good morning

Anyone knows what are these blocks, that are the base of the bridge?

[gritty anvil]

Shingles

Brown painted

Black painted copper brick under it

[tiny kayak]

Tysm 🙏

[gritty anvil]

Ur welcome

Is anyone who's in-game capable of lending me a hand?

Specifically checking what the crimson desert blocks look like in orange, deep orange and brown paint

Cause this shift ain't ending soon

[gritty anvil]

THANK U

[slow dew]

crimsand, hardended crimsand, crimsandstone

[gritty anvil]

They all kinda ass ngl

[slow dew]

real

[gritty anvil]

But I do need to keep the biome a crimson desert

For that background mmm

Orange crimsandstone is carrying me then

[tiny kayak]

Naah

Crimsandstone looks like dirt deluxe version

The rest are mid

[rancid axle]

When you guys start on a building, do you guys go straight for the material you guys are intending on using, or do you guys just make a placeholder shape with any blocks until you decide on the material?

[dark jewel]

It depends on the size of the build. Big ones yes small ones no

[rancid axle]

Sweet, thanks for the tip

[slow dew]

I always try to have a palette of blocks that I wanna use in the build, it may change later on but there is always a direction at the start of my builds

[gritty anvil]

I go with the base material and texture mid process

But I avoid having placeholder materials since it's just like extra work, I tend to start with a block palette in mind

[hard breach]

Yes that

[gritty anvil]

I've changed materials mid project before but that doesn't happen so often as to need a placeholder

[ebon patio]

if i only have a vague idea in mind for a build then i like to use platforms to kinda sketch out how rooms fit together and where all the furniture will go in order to help me figure out how the final design should be

[karmic blaze]

it's been so long since I last built but is it or is the roof uneven

[verbal rock]

What is yalls favorite wood and why?

my personal favorite is boreal wood

[verbal rock]

OKAY THAT BUILD SLAPS

[karmic blaze]

I have no access to paint so the materials are kinda ugly rn

[verbal rock]

are you sure the rooms are bigh enough for npcs though?

[gritty anvil]

Real basic answer but living mahogany

[verbal rock]

what are you talking about? that still looks great

[karmic blaze]

it's only gonna house like 3 npcs anyways

[karmic blaze]

yea but with paint I can do stuff like umm wait

[verbal rock]

doing pylons early?

[karmic blaze]

I just like building

maybe I should've done that with the roof but it's a bit too big for it

[verbal rock]

all good twin

[karmic blaze]

also spooky wood cus u can make a rustic look to ur builds

[verbal rock]

boreal wood can have tgat feeling too imo

aw man

i finally made a not-terrible build but i dont have terrarian

[gritty anvil]

Wordd

[lusty ocean]

how much do i have to yap for image perms

i wanna show my base

[karmic blaze]

tbh it's too smooth most of the time it's more cabiny instead of rustic

[gritty anvil]

I love spooky too I just like building trees more hence living mahogany

[verbal rock]

#terrarian-role-info

[gritty anvil]

Mhm

Mixing them together works decent

[karmic blaze]

check pins if u want to post ur bases without the role

[verbal rock]

wait lemme show you what i mean by rustic

[gritty anvil]

But just boreal kinda fails to get that abandoned cabin in the woods

[karmic blaze]

I use it for floors or wall bases ngl

[lusty ocean]

Alright

[verbal rock]

stone slab gang here

[lusty ocean]

Ig try mahagony

[verbal rock]

so niche

[gritty anvil]

I don't do boreal walls ngl mostly floors and ceiling

[gritty anvil]

I've tried everything haha I like mahogany quite a lot

[lusty ocean]

Lol

Meanwhile my base is 99% brick

(except for the occasional wooden background wall)

[karmic blaze]

spooky gives more of the old tavern floor look while boreal is more of a fancy type of flooring tho

[lusty ocean]

House looks real good.

My house tho is more centered around utility. Sure it still looks decent but is more practical

[karmic blaze]

practical is nice

I just like making it look pretty

[lusty ocean]

I mean..

I am on a master mode playthrough afterall..

(pre mech bosses rn)

[karmic blaze]

same

[lusty ocean]

coolio

Now..

How the heck do i make tree farms again...

[karmic blaze]

just make a terrarium and put ur trees in there

[lusty ocean]

Aight

Hot take: Night's Edge is better than the hardmode ore swords

[karmic blaze]

most of them sucks since they're just supposed to carry you through the early fights

[lusty ocean]

Yea

Rn i gotta grind for Stormbow tho

i need the megashark

[manic turtle]

i blot out the block shapes and then i work on the details after

i am reducing my usage of placeholder material cuz it kinda wastes time and makes me indecisive personally

so commit and see it thru basically

and then if i dont like it, new one to start

[tame sand]

I just do random bullshit and it kinda works

[gritty anvil]

It really be let's say the columns are stone slab and they just stay stone slab

[karmic blaze]

well I shd rlly start actually exploring

this feels like too much fences

I'll change the foundation walls with mudbricks I suppose

[shadow ruin]

fences are alright and look nice in my opinion

[shadow ruin]

the stone roof looks weird aswell ngl

otherwise really nice house

i wish i could build as half as good as you do

[karmic blaze]

I'm very limited on materials so I'm using stone

[shadow ruin]

ah alr make sense cuz i was wondering why stone and even then why didn't you just paint it or something

[karmic blaze]

with enough practice and mostly messing around you can build well

[shadow ruin]

hope so

[shell violet]

This guy has potential

[karmic blaze]

I wanted to the roof window like this but I mismeasured

[karmic blaze]

you should see how I started

[shell violet]

Yea that’s a 3 wide

[gritty anvil]

Two wide is still possible tbh

Just with a slightly different method

[shell violet]

It’s doable Oui

[karmic blaze]

yeah but there would be no gap to make that cross pattern

[karmic blaze]

man my old stuff fugly

[shadow ruin]

dang

big improvement

i once spent like an hour at the end of the underworld making a little cabin

didnt turn out bad but def wasnt worth staying down there that long

[karmic blaze]

yeah so you'll improve too just make sure you're having fun and it's okay to copy but don't just copy you have to learn from it and make your own style

[karmic blaze]

ooh I wanna see

[shadow ruin]

mhm alr

[shadow ruin]

I'll go there now and take a pic

[tiny kayak]

mahagony wood is pretty versatile, is smooth but resistant at the same time

I really like it

[shadow ruin]

yh i love it aswell

love the sleek look

[gray pewter]

The wood from the hallow biome is pretty cool

[tiny kayak]

also, am i the only one with the inventory like this when building

is kind of annoying honestly

[karmic blaze]

pretty sure everyone has that

[verbal rock]

everyone is like that, lets be real

[verbal rock]

valid

[tiny kayak]

damn

void bag carrying

literally lol

[karmic blaze]

carry a void bag and a money trough always

[verbal rock]

ive surprisingly havent gotten a money trough in my new save yet

[gritty anvil]

Me too babe

Void bag and chester and I still have chest runbacks to free space

[shell violet]

I have abandoned the hole

[gritty anvil]

Too much work?

[shell violet]

No idea to do anything with it 😂

I spent a couple hours trying block pallets and just couldn’t tie it all together as well as I hoped

[gritty anvil]

Do some ugly ass sketches

Always gets me goin

[shell violet]

I’m gonna afk my shoddy creeper farm and find some place to move to later

I need to switch it up rather then continue to try and shove everything into one hole in the ground

[gritty anvil]

Ngl I do think a hole is a good start

U get lots of space without technically having to build the big space

[shell violet]

It is but

Idk how to build it the way I want it to turn up

[gritty anvil]

U got any inspo

[shell violet]

Uhhh

[radiant loom]

heres mine

i never even use my void bag 💀

or my piggy bank tbh

I think it has music boxes and coins in it

and ofc the best light pet + trippy lighting for maximum visibility

[shell violet]

This lighting offends my eyes

[gritty anvil]

I be sensitive in the eyes, trippy lighting ain't for me

[weak hare]

It looks scrumdiliumtious 😄

[upper wave]

Glowsnobe

[visual maple]

dw Im sure in the future you can build shit like this thats insane

[gritty anvil]

Oh shit that's my tree

[slow dew]

y'know you can activate potions from the void bag right ? 😭

haven't gotten super far into this build so everything still looks relatively clean, but this is it with the void bag

[tiny kayak]

such a clean inventory
but all that gear pre skeleton is criminal

[tiny kayak]

yeah thats lowkey broken

[slow dew]

not just potions but things like the presserator, guide to peaceful coexistence, paint sprayer, and all information accessories all work in the void bag

really useful if you can't be bothered to make a cellphone but wanna keep some information accessories on you

you can also close the void bag to disable them

[radiant loom]

chat you are a lifesaver

THANK YOU

[radiant loom]

see i use whatever i want from builder's workshop worlds

i dont use tools to research everything, i've researched like thousands of items manually

but its fine because i have only the blocks and stuff i want

[tiny kayak]

hey thats cheating

[radiant loom]

right

i build adventure maps

[tiny kayak]

cheating is for weak

[radiant loom]

i've never beat the moon lord 😂

[tiny kayak]

oh no thats an actual good reason

nvm

[radiant loom]

(playing fairly, atleast)

dang i havent played in a week

[radiant loom]

it helps me see in the dark LOL don't worry, i only use it when im building my maps and take it off for testing

furthest visibility underground is useful

[slow dew]

another big tip I recommend if you're building often is making a use of loadouts, I have my 2 primary loadouts identical except for 1 which I don't have paint sprayer on it (just the other useful parts of architect gizmo pack) so I can quickly move between both since there are buttons for your loadouts, which you can rebind to other keys

if you're playing in journey mode you can also rebind your creative powers menu (I chose mouse 4 since I have a mouse with extra buttons) since it opens up your inventory which can be really useful if you go into it very often

[gritty anvil]

Wow that sounds so fancy

I've been building for ten years and inventory is still shite

[slow dew]

it's made it so damn convenient for me, there's other little optimizations that I've made, some worth some not so much

the use of getting your run speed to 16mph so you can build in a straight line without stuttering and using gravitational potion have both been huge for me

[radiant loom]

yeah i do have multiple loadouts

one has echo sight, one doesnt, and one is for lower mobility testing areas

[gritty anvil]

I got one

[radiant loom]

since im making dungeons for a map i gotta have one loadout that has the stuff the player would have

[gritty anvil]

I truly be building like a barbarian

[radiant loom]

fair enough though

[slow dew]

for echo sight I just have the goggles in my vanity and swap them over something like soaring insignia when needed

[slow dew]

caveman architect

[gritty anvil]

Literally

[gritty anvil]

This be me

I just switch em in and out of vanity

[slow dew]

paint sprayer is the only thing I have the loadout trick for, just having that on a toggle feels super nice

on my vanity character I have 2 empty loadouts for ofc building vanities and then a single builder loadout, so it's a bit more archaic but everything else is the same

[gritty anvil]

I got one loadout and prayers

So far it's worked but judging by all the other builders reaction that's unholy

[slow dew]

i mean inventory be damned, at the end of the day it's the build that matters

i just like optimizing useless shit, that time would honestly be better spent practicing my builds 😭

[gritty anvil]

Nah listen

The time I spend trying to find shit in my inventory could be spent building

The judgement is justified, my default mode is where tf is insert paint

[slow dew]

the duality of man

spend too much time optimizing inventory or spend too much time dealing with unoptimized inventory

[gritty anvil]

The struggle of a builder either way you turn you are still pushing the boulder

[tiny kayak]

hey, quick question

[gritty anvil]

Yeh?

[tiny kayak]

what do you think are the best lamps for cabins?

[gritty anvil]

Like

Cozy wooden cabin type?

Warm stuff

[tiny kayak]

more like a creepy cabin

[gritty anvil]

Oh

[tiny kayak]

want me to show you?

[gritty anvil]

Okay cold stuff

Yes please

So I can offer more specific cold stuff

[tiny kayak]

wait a sec

im not seeing the screenshot folder

[slow dew]

you can try steampunk lamp

it has that old house, likely abandoned by the owners lamp vibe

[slow dew]

icream

[dark jewel]

tre

e

[tiny kayak]

finally

[gritty anvil]

Ebon is good

[slow dew]

100% steampunk lamp in there

[gritty anvil]

I've got some boreal in mine since it's blue and kinda creepy

[tiny kayak]

i see your point, but im still in ph

[slow dew]

unfortunate

[gritty anvil]

Steampunk is also bright white light so it doesn't look very haunted

It just looks like old fashioned but lived in

It's cozy

Not really creepy tho

Unless u turn it off and keep it for the looks

I've done it

[tiny kayak]

yeah, luckily almost every good block is ph

[slow dew]

exactly

[gritty anvil]

Dungeon lights are pretty solid

Most of them outside of the select warm lanterns are shades of blue and green

Very eerie

I'd turn off the fireplace if I were u

And put a gemspark wall, blue, green or purple behind it

So it's off but it glows an uncanny colour

That's gonna up the creepy a notch

[dark jewel]

youinkey

[gritty anvil]

Nhoooo my villig is stoleeeen

Old expert run base

[tiny kayak]

Maybe i just put up a candle

that gemspark thing doesnt convince me

[gritty anvil]

U can but it won't be glowing from the fireplace that way

It don't need to I be offering stuff u can choose what u like

[dark jewel]

need more detail

[gritty anvil]

Needs more pazzaz at the bottom

[tiny kayak]

but a fireplace off that lights on is kind of weird isnt it?
maybe in a haunted type house

[tiny kayak]

yeah ik, but is good to know some stuff

[gritty anvil]

I mean I was like judging by this

Candles are a solid source tho

[dark jewel]

ok boom

[gritty anvil]

Most of the nicer coloured lights are torches

[dark jewel]

ashwood fence in cluch

[gritty anvil]

There we gooooo

[dark jewel]

now for the tree part.......

oh lawd

[slow dew]

i mean it wouldn't normally glow blue but a fireplace that is still smoldering could still possess a little bit of light

[gritty anvil]

Indu got that smooth bottom for his leaf bundles

[slow dew]

bone torch my beloved

[gritty anvil]

Me and sandstone torch gonna make it to the grave

Favorite warm candle

[slow dew]

caged and brass lanterns also provide good light

[gritty anvil]

Dim but cozy yeah

I was under the impression it's like creepy and shit so I was offering more unnatural lights

[tiny kayak]

i might be a bot, but platinum candle is so good

[gritty anvil]

It's the same

:((

[slow dew]

warm lights can still be creepy

just depends how you use em

[gritty anvil]

Candles are almost all bright white light

Which is a bummer cause I don't use that light

[gritty anvil]

Oh yeah definitely

[dark jewel]

i could use painted moss for a glow

[gritty anvil]

Tru

[dark jewel]

ontopa this

[slow dew]

crystals are also a favorite of mine to use for lighting

unfortunately not prehm

[gritty anvil]

I like bottles

All the thing in a bottle light sources

[tiny kayak]

wait, the shadow candle emits light? that might be pretty cool for my cabin

if im not wrong it emits a lesser amount of light

[gritty anvil]

I think so yeah

[slow dew]

prismatic lacewing is perfection due to its sprite persisting after echo paint

wish the other critters did that

[tiny kayak]

yeah fr, i really like the souls in a bottle too

[tiny kayak]

fairies

[slow dew]

fairies do it too yeah, I wanna say firefly too?

oh and faeling I think

[tiny kayak]

yep

that gives me another idea

fireflyes are goated for cabins

[slow dew]

true and real

[dark jewel]

is this moss

eeehhhh

no

[gritty anvil]

Zoom it out

The burryness makes it harder to see for me

Looks like those rubblemaker stuff

Granite

Second to last one

Deep paint probably

[gritty anvil]

Boop

This my guess correct me if Im wrong

[shell violet]

Shadow paint can blacken the outside of a map

[shell violet]

Blurry as pic

[gritty anvil]

I'm responding to a blurrier pic :((

Why do u spite me my child, do we not feed you enough concrete

[radiant loom]

Whats the point

ik what shadow paint does, theres tens of thousands of tiles of shadow paint in my world 😂

if not hundreds of thousands

[agile rover]

https://imgur.com/a/ly4LSZH

[shell violet]

It do

[shell violet]

Shit so blurry I had to read the message to know what you sent

[rugged wedge]

i made my tree, it doesnt look really great but i havent build many trees so im not too mad

these are my only other tree builds 😬

[manic turtle]

this is very cute, it reminds me of the starbound underground structures in snow

cute vibe

[manic turtle]

proving more than yavor is correct, it is granite rubble maker size 1

[manic turtle]

not too shabby, i think you're starting off great for building trees

[manic turtle]

you should totally check out Bones rubblemaker guide - i use it more often than i think of

[rugged wedge]

thank you, i kinda beat myself up over builds a lot

im like a perfectionist when it comes to builds and i kinda need to except not everything is gonna look crazy yet

[hoary light]

Oh I cant share picture ?

Should i get to an higher level or smt

[rugged wedge]

#terrarian-role-info

[manic turtle]

check out #terrarian-role-info

[hoary light]

Alr

[manic turtle]

if you're a perfectionist, i recommend looking over references and actual tree types for the stuff u wanna build

it doesn't hurt to use them for building stuff

i use it a lot

[rugged wedge]

idk what to search for exactly what im looking for : (

i do use refences a lot for other builds

[manic turtle]

Tree types tbh, or you can look up tree names

i use pinterest (with AI off filter) for ref board and mood boards

[rugged wedge]

i made this a while ago, i used a lot of like fantasy style tavern references for it

still pretty proud of it

[shell violet]

@gritty anvil decent pic quality exists

[rugged wedge]

i think they took that in game

[gritty anvil]

Cause that shit in-game not a cropped Google image booooo

[manic turtle]

i'm just good like that

i'm just good like THAT

[rugged wedge]

and the other image is from the web likely

[gritty anvil]

Mahaaaal

[manic turtle]

everything i touch goes into high quality

[manic turtle]

@gritty anvil please help on this, opinions if u have time

i like the block mixing and the different leveled floor of the tavern, it gives that idea that it has a lot of space

[shell violet]

Hosh just better

[manic turtle]

the snow could've been presented better though but i think it's cute

[rugged wedge]

i think i probably couldve added more blocks in the mudstone for some better depth

and i couldnt find anything good for the snow on the half platforms 😓

[shell violet]

The darkness of the roof somehow makes it feel like it’s set further behind then the rest of the wall almost I’d say ditch the crimtane and find something lighter or add dormers

[gritty anvil]

Support beams would help

[rugged wedge]

and i felt it looked weird one lower or in full block

[gritty anvil]

Cause rn it kinda bleeds into the floor like it's outside of the building the the mudstone area

[rugged wedge]

for the basement?

[gritty anvil]

The area with the tables

[hoary light]

https://imgur.com/a/YJgVtdA

Ah there we go

[rugged wedge]

something a little like this?

[hoary light]

I've build this base for my second playthrough but im not really sure its over

Y'all could give me some tips ?

[rugged wedge]

(i used paint bc i dont wanna put in effort rn)

[gritty anvil]

That and maybe some in the form of brown ebonwood wall behind the candles

[gritty anvil]

Sure

[manic turtle]

you should destroy lands and make a flat ground

like minecraft

and then you plan on building after that

[gritty anvil]

Nooooooo

[hoary light]

In that case idk if I should

I want to give some sort of a natural look

[manic turtle]

if that's your goal then try building in the natural terrain then!

[gritty anvil]

I personally opt for adjusting the natural terrain

[shell violet]

Hear me out now
It’s natural outside

Go look

There ya go

[gritty anvil]

This is flat

[shell violet]

100% not an excuse for me to post work photos again

[shell violet]

You see the tops of the trees on the left

They are the same height as the ones on the right

[gritty anvil]

Boooo

[shell violet]

Plane

[gritty anvil]

It's still like a flat surface just diagonal flat

It don't work too well on a 2d field when doing natural

[shell violet]

Woops

@gritty anvil how this one

[gritty anvil]

Better

[shell violet]

I think I’ve shown it before when you asked about trees

[hoary light]

Aint no way

[shell violet]

I go outside from time to time what can I say

[hoary light]

Outwhat

So any tips

I really want to level up the shoebox i made

Cause they look a bit ugly

Also the main room at th center idk if anyone got an idea of better walls i could use

[rugged wedge]

is this better

[gritty anvil]

I think so yeah

[rugged wedge]

im also a little unhappy with the tables. i have the plates there bc theyre supposed to be like table cloth but it doesnt really look like that

just looks like a plate

[worldly wolf]

pressure plates maybe?

[shell violet]

Hammered platforms maybe could work

[rugged wedge]

and up here, the plates are supposed to be like a little rug but they dont look like that really, i am probably gonna make the whole floor the stucco though

[rugged wedge]

tried it, cant be placed on tables :(

i could try the teleporter glitch

did that a bit in the build

especially the basement

[rugged wedge]

is there a thin enough platform for that? thats kinda a big issue with the plates; that theyre too thick

[shell violet]

I’d try brass maybe

[rugged wedge]

just looked at the wiki and saw brass, probably

[shell violet]

But without testing I don’t get a better idea

[rugged wedge]

oh..

[gritty anvil]

Yeahhh

Brass floats

[hoary light]

[rugged wedge]

meteorite isnt horrible but it does look a little too thick still

teleporter glitch doesnt even work with pressure plates ToT

[hard breach]

Squib

[sage lichen]

Oh I'm stealing this

[rugged wedge]

is there a page on the wiki or something like the blocks page with a pic of every block hammered

[sage lichen]

I don't think so

Iirc all of them only display block in 3x3

[gritty anvil]

Tablecloths don't usually bunch up at the top tbh

[sage lichen]

Man if only Red is still taking ideas

We could really get more house plants decoration in the game

[rugged wedge]

it kinda just looks a little bit flat without anything

but i guess they are flat

[sage lichen]

What did you use for the leg tho?

[rugged wedge]

its a banquet table

i just painted the top middle white

everything else is normal

we need top and side hammered half blocks

we have like palladium coullums i guess

and also i guess theres walls with a gap between them

[icy zenith]

I forgot this channel existed

Any recommendations?

I keep getting praises with no criticism

Might paint the meteorite blocks near me

[gritty anvil]

The block palette is kinda confusing

[rugged wedge]

i really gotta figure out the snow :(

[gritty anvil]

Clouds

[rugged wedge]

it looks better but it still kinda looks odd with the bakground walls

[gritty anvil]

No actuated clouds for snow is nice

[rugged wedge]

still kinda contrasts

though does look better

i also accidentally painted it gray and didnt notice

it actually doesnt look as bad as i remember with it not being hammered

[worldly wolf]

my wip build :)

[shell violet]

Imma be real I don’t think I ever used it hammered sitting flat on the ground so had no idea

I just knew it was thin

[rugged wedge]

i dont use it much because i kinda forget the shelves exist

i should use them more

[worldly wolf]

I've experimented and so far the best contenders seem to be Pumpkin, Nebula, Ash Wood, Steampunk, and Bone, along with others

[sage lichen]

Great ballroom idea ngl

[worldly wolf]

they're all too thick tho

[rugged wedge]

i just kinda removed it all together

[icy zenith]

I'll try to reduce the number of block variety

[icy zenith]

Is that it or do you have any more?

[gritty anvil]

Not per say less blocks but I suppose more similar blocks

[rugged wedge]

i personally dont see the vision but that could just be me

[icy zenith]

Hmm, I'll try but right now I'm using everything I have pre bee

[gritty anvil]

Like texturing sometimes is done with many different blocks but they are meant to like resemble a material

[icy zenith]

I'll try to remove palmwood and texture some monotone structures

[gritty anvil]

When you have a lot of materials each doing their own thing, it becomes hard to read basically

[icy zenith]

I'll also try to incorporate ore bricks into stone slabs

[gritty anvil]

I do also struggle to understand the build

[icy zenith]

Hmm, for me, I just can't stand looking at something that doesn't have an intricately detailed part

My problem

[gritty anvil]

It has details which is nice, but it is kinda confusing

[icy zenith]

I'll reduce it though to make it whole

[gritty anvil]

Oh no same, I have very heavy texturing oftentimes

[icy zenith]

I'll keep the stone slabs and bricks but incorporate ore bricks as I've said

I'll remove palmwood and try to color shadewood

To make it blend with the dynasty and rich mahogany texture

Which is also painted brown

Boreal acts like the end of a beam though so I'll keep it

[gritty anvil]

Sounds good

[icy zenith]

This one I kind of overkilled

Don't worry about the foundations, I'll work on it as I go towards the end of pre hm

[rugged wedge]

it doesnt look like too much texture, kinda just overstimulating

[icy zenith]

My forte, basically

Surprises non builders yknow lol

[gritty anvil]

Love me some ten different walls for a brick gradient

[icy zenith]

I think I saw that in my dreams

I'm deadass

Green shingles and a stone sky bridge

[rugged wedge]

yavor is a dream demon

we all know this

[gritty anvil]

I've sent progress shots a lot of this lolll

[icy zenith]

This is the first time I've seen it

[gritty anvil]

It's also just a very well sized Frankenstein monster

[icy zenith]

Or the second time if you count my dreams haha

[icy zenith]

Well, this is the kind of build I just can't do with my vision

[bleak vector]

https://imgur.com/a/PYHPblC
I definitely need some advice on interior

[rugged wedge]

idk why but i never thought to alternate shingles to have the seperated (i think thats what you did)

[icy zenith]

Put me on the walls, I'll do fine, but structuring, hell nah

[gritty anvil]

Get tall shit brother

[icy zenith]

Walls are kinda my specialty

[rugged wedge]

left could have a staircase, like a spiral one

(im a sucker for those)

[icy zenith]

It could have an alchemy station like in minecraft

Put the wizard in there too

Its his hat on the roof anyways

[gritty anvil]

Castles don't got that cozy low ceiling, so clocks, potted plants and bookcases help a lot with creating decorations that don't make it look empty, filling up emptier upper parts with banners and paintings also helps

[icy zenith]

Btw @gritty anvil do I fuse all stone related materials into one so I can apply block mixing in them? But of course the accent is separate

[rugged wedge]

not ALL stone

[gritty anvil]

Not all stone yeah

[icy zenith]

Most or some?

[gritty anvil]

Some

Some

[rugged wedge]

some

[icy zenith]

Threesome

Alright

[rugged wedge]

personal favorites are mudstone brick and crimstone brick

pretty similar

[icy zenith]

Can y'all encircle the ones that I could fuse?

[gritty anvil]

Bap

Record of my usual palettes

Generally imitating natural block colours

[icy zenith]

Wonderful

I use the iron brick mix too

[rugged wedge]

ooo, this is nice

[icy zenith]

Ahh shit I don't have both the living wands

[icy zenith]

I haven't thought of using stucco for sand bricks

Oh goddammit ebonwood again

I'm crimson

[rugged wedge]

i love using stucco for carpet

kinda strange but i think it looks good as carpet

it doesnt look like stucco at all really

[icy zenith]

Man I don't have silt

I use all of it

[rugged wedge]

ToT

[icy zenith]

Whenever I get it

Such a shame

Pain in the ass to go underground again

[rugged wedge]

i still havent found a good replacement for stucco that actually looks like the real stuff

[gritty anvil]

People have committed dirt

With painted grass...

It ain't for me but hey I'd say it's kinda cute

[rugged wedge]

meh

i dont hate smooth sandstone

[rugged wedge]

bad quality :(

[rugged wedge]

christmas, just a week away

i am so excited about this information

[icy zenith]

Smooth sandstone, I've used, but its become too light for my liking

[rugged wedge]

yeah, that is a bit of an issue but theres not much else

the gray doesnt look terrible

[gritty anvil]

Ohhh

I use stucco for lime

[bleak vector]

Can you place potions on platform?

[shell violet]

There’s the lesser mana and lesser healing potion you can place, or just use a glass bottle and paint

To make the placeable versions of the lesser potions you need a heavy work bench

[bleak vector]

Thank you!!!

[bleak vector]

https://imgur.com/a/L2E227f
Hmmmmmm

I will try improving it later, I literally did not sleep

[lyric cave]

uuu pretty

[bleak vector]

That was a lie, I just can’t stop building lol

[lyric cave]

thats really cute

[icy zenith]

I have slightly improved the blocks and stuff @gritty anvil @rugged wedge

[ripe drum]

im very new to building... um

what do i do with floor

[lyric cave]

waoh you build that on mobile god dang

[icy zenith]

Also, what do y'all want to improve on the finished interior of the second floor?

[icy zenith]

I find it easier on mobile

[lyric cave]

its look so natural that i didnt even realiize what diid you build

OH

[icy zenith]

You become more intimate with the blocks

[lyric cave]

the trees

[icy zenith]

Incredible, you have a unique art style

Keep doing the background

It reminds me of retro games

[lyric cave]

thats such a smart way to bring more life to the serounding

[bleak vector]

owo

[icy zenith]

Though it's limited to being a background and you can't build anymore structures lol

Oh wait

[ripe drum]

it takes so long to place anything...

i have the break the walls and place

[icy zenith]

You can indeed destroy the walls instead

[ripe drum]

so i dont wanna do it again and again

so

also i have no dryad-

i should get her sigh

[icy zenith]

It's just eye of cthulhy anyways

[lyric cave]

it does makee the world fuller so hell yeah

[icy zenith]

I'd take seeing background art styles more than regular structures

Though limited to biomes

[bleak vector]

This, I need to copy this method

This is so genius

[ripe drum]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-Sd9zyQxbc

@bleak vector

@icy zenith @lyric cave

i got "inspiration" from this video

[icy zenith]

Wonderful, keep at it

[ripe drum]

it would be wrong of me if i didnt- show

[icy zenith]

I'd like to see some desert and ocean

[lyric cave]

:0 good inspo

[ripe drum]

i want to make this in my world.... <3

its very cool

[gritty anvil]

Yeah I think that's a bit more coherent

[icy zenith]

Anymore improvements?

[gritty anvil]

A roof would be nice

[hushed badge]

More good news for Kyora

[tiny kayak]

Tsym, im a beginner so I mostly take some ideas from pinterest, but this one is mainly mine

Now that you say it, maybe isnt as creepy as i thought

[icy zenith]

I'll try walls

[mint echo]

Dumbest farm ive made so far

Abigails flowers lmao

[cinder vortex]

Nice! Gotta have one with every reforge am I right? Lol

[dark jewel]

Thanmken you

[manic turtle]

it is very adorable ngl! you should have fun building i think

pinterest is a great way to get ideas so keep it up!

[mint echo]

Hahaha lmao, u get it

[bold salmon]

Valid house 😁

[cinder vortex]

Echo blocks for the win?

[bold salmon]

right xd

[tiny kayak]

just finished

so any tips?

[manic turtle]

this is a great underground vibe

[upper wave]

nah, this is peak building. it looks great without being a headache to traverse through. You even have dressers which serve as storage!

Current jungle house. I played with the shape and tried to let the environment shape it. It's half safe haven so I added stuff like barricades and platform locks on the outside doors.

[novel swift]

calm luh tree

i need ideas

[upper wave]

idk, something with roots? making leaf-like roofs?

[pine skiff]

Really cool, I love those type of builds

[upper wave]

using this base to beat the goblin army was a breeze

[dark jewel]

tree leafs

[upper wave]

ngl looks cool. very droopy

[gritty anvil]

Very good study on Indus style

[dark jewel]

tee hee

how was this green/white done

[manic turtle]

i agree with this wholeheartedly , my dressers be filled with random shit

[manic turtle]

shellfish, negative paint and painted strang plant i think

[dark jewel]

ohhhhhh

[silver seal]

what are you using for roofs?

[novel swift]

Wym leaf roofs?

[rugged wedge]

sorry for really late message; i dont think you have access to them yet but echo walls can make walls theyre connected to smaller so i would do that for the trees if you can build with echo walls

[prisma charm]

i made a tunel trought my whole hardcore world each biome is themed https://imgur.com/a/sIeawAp

also a cool tree arena i made some time ago but its tree https://imgur.com/a/6386sjg

[dark jewel]

yavor ur builds r mine

[gritty anvil]

Nhooooo

My housesss

The tree house I made came out a bit wonky for u but it wasn't bad

The more like structured builds definitely seem to be your strength tho

U adapt to them much quicker

You are very quick my friend, fast learners are always promising

Also I like your purple

[hushed badge]

@gritty anvil Hytale preorders are up

[bleak vector]

How do you make those door

[gritty anvil]

Not for me brother

[hushed badge]

right no links

[gritty anvil]

I don't do 3d willfully

[gritty anvil]

Shadow paint the walls and shadow paint some actuated balloon blocks since when you put them two by two they make a circle

[gritty anvil]

I have some interest in kyora but tbh with hytale it's close to none

Hoping those who want it have fun with it tho

[hushed badge]

Chippy will be making videos on both games

[gritty anvil]

Figured

I'll see to keep up a bit

If kyora has more fun biomes than terraria I'll consider

Hytale is an immediate no from me tho, already got Minecraft that I join in occasionally for other people, it'll be a pointless purchase to get hytale have it sit in a box

[bleak vector]

OHHH!!!

I never thought of using that block

that's so smart

[gritty anvil]

Mm

Can't tell u who did it first

I learned it from bluejay

But that stuff goes way way back

There's some of those clever tricks that hold up years later

[dark jewel]

thank you, i love the complementsz

i needa make more non house stuff

expand my skill

[hushed badge]

And then there is the asset house which is asset heaven
