terraria-creations

[plucky zealot]

well yeah, doesnt have to be that big but that could work

[still obsidian]

Nice vegetation *sob

[plucky zealot]

though dunno how well it fits in a jungle since mushrooms are more so a regular forest thing but yeah

[rugged wedge]

i like my builds to be npc houses so like ruins arent too appealing to me much

because they arent really npc hgouses

[potent stratus]

why am i just now hearing about illuminate paint, i couldve never used gem blocks… oh well im not gonna redo everything i enjoy actually playing the game more

[plucky zealot]

you can cover up alot with hidden platforms and furniture

[rugged wedge]

i guess

#terraria-creations message
i did that here a bit for 3 npcs

[plucky zealot]

also restricting yourself to just npc housing isnt the greatest idea

[still obsidian]

If its a ruins build i usually hide it on the shadow gate

Works all the time

[rugged wedge]

i just kinda like when the builds are somewhat practical too

[plucky zealot]

that, or echo coating, using it as actual decoration, etc, there are alot of ways

[still obsidian]

Right

[potent stratus]

i only do that cause i enjoy the core of the game and not building so much, just tired of building my classic 3x12 npc prisons

[plucky zealot]

this one is practical and still houses npc's

[rugged wedge]

i mostly struggle with inspo

aphantasia doesnt help at all
def an excuse most of the time

[still obsidian]

Yep i can see the similarities between your builds and this

[plucky zealot]

i usually look at other games or things for a general vibe of something im going for, in this case it was the stilt village from deadcells

[still obsidian]

Dawg

[rugged wedge]

i play like 1 game mostly...

[still obsidian]

Yeah its also about inspos

[rugged wedge]

its like terraria then sometimes i play elden ring and like balatro

i guess elden ring isnt terrible for inspo

[plucky zealot]

well if you play eldenring you should not have any struggles

[rugged wedge]

speaking of which, may as well share this again

[still obsidian]

How did u do the stacks of books?

[rugged wedge]

tedit with librarian furniture

[plucky zealot]

pretty solid

[rugged wedge]

mostly the sinks and bathtubs

[still obsidian]

Alrrr

[plucky zealot]

i dont really like using anything external for my builds

[rugged wedge]

this is the first time

i did it for the contest

i still have 12 days and im pretty much done

[plucky zealot]

shouldnt be allowed for contests imo, since mobile or console players dont have access to it

[rugged wedge]

that is very fair, i mostly agree. there is the case where you can use like transmutation and floating furniture for the same thing

but it is a lot more accessible

[plucky zealot]

im fine with floating furniture since everyone can replicate that

[rugged wedge]

not as much now

[plucky zealot]

what did they change?

[rugged wedge]

teleporter glitch is gone

[plucky zealot]

aw man, why the fuck did they remove that

[rugged wedge]

fixed some crashes i believe

[plucky zealot]

tragic

[rugged wedge]

theres still other ways but nothing as easy as that

[plucky zealot]

unfortunate, if its not doable on all platforms i dont think it should be valid in a contest

[potent stratus]

im not that good at building so ill just do some pixel art and make it actually useful instead of just art to look at

[prisma meadow]

best thing about building is just trying out different things and see what you like the best

[plucky zealot]

that yeah

[prisma meadow]

some people have different styles which makes it even better

[potent stratus]

i like broad builds i dont like going too much into detail, cause at the end of the day i enjoy the actual game and not just building

3x12 prison boxes tend to get boring

had to spice it up

[prisma meadow]

do you pie happen to have that 3 room tall build you made when somebody didn't like it

your style of this

[fiery roost]

Not gonna lie, most of the time when people come here asking "do you think this is good?", I want to ask them "what are your references?". The stuff that ends up being posted here looks great most of the time, and to make good critique, we would need to know what they wanted to make.

[prisma meadow]

that is correct

[fiery roost]

Like this. With this, one can say if something was well made or not. I know what the person wanted to build, and then I can compare to the original references to see if it was accurate.

[plucky zealot]

oh yeah i do why?

[prisma meadow]

i think it's really good example of different styles

[plucky zealot]

wasnt meant to be a 1 on 1 copy, more so the vibe and style

[prisma meadow]

for similiar shaped build

[plucky zealot]

here it is

[fiery roost]

This looks outrageously amazing though! I love how the tree has spots of light, that fit the overall theme. Also, using minecarts as handrails was genius.

[plucky zealot]

ty!

[rugged wedge]

my first 😭

huge difference in skill 😭

[prisma meadow]

building trees is hard

[fiery roost]

Although copying is important in the creative process (you'll never manage to do a 1:1 copy, and most likely you'll learn what the original author meant to do), being inspired usually goes beyond just copying. It means you understand the reference and created something with it.

[fiery roost]

Was this done with Negative Paint?

[plucky zealot]

ehhh for actual builds i would recomend copying much at all, you can copy small techniques of a build but not much more than that

[prisma meadow]

i think so

[plucky zealot]

yeah

[rugged wedge]

yeah

[plucky zealot]

used some of that aswel in my shimmer build

[fiery roost]

I meant in a artistic/design way, not just for Terraria, my bad 😂

[plucky zealot]

oh yeah, cant really speak outside of terraria, not that much of a artist in most things

i guess im decent at warframe fashion

[fiery roost]

It's funny, because I'm making the backwards thing of being a designer IRL, and now I want to make stuff in-game (because most of the time I procrastinate with Terraria anyway)

Everything you learn in design college applies to Terraria

[plucky zealot]

holy the quality is chopped

[fiery roost]

Imgur does that

[plucky zealot]

ehh a bit better

[prisma meadow]

love the colors

[plucky zealot]

ty

still have this one as a wallpaper on my laptop

[fiery roost]

Trees are probably among the hardest things you guys make, right? There aren't many good blocks to use like for houses, I guess, right?

[prisma meadow]

there is alot of ways to use blocks for trees

[idle atlas]

Why don't I have 1.4.5.3 D:

[fiery roost]

To whoever just mentioned me: I bought another licence of the game on GOG, so I could stay with the game offline and without updates on my notebook (I don't always have internet on it). My Steam version (I barely play it anymore) will still be updated though. It's just for this creative thing I'm going I'll keep using 1.4.5.3.

[idle atlas]

Oh

[fiery roost]

Are you on mobile?

[idle atlas]

Yeah

[fiery roost]

Oh, that's the reason

[idle atlas]

Oh

[fiery roost]

I'm on both Steam/GOG

[idle atlas]

Ok

[exotic harness]

We’ll get it at some later point, more hoops for the devs to go through for us

[prisma meadow]

have you guys done any areena builds?

[fiery roost]

If by Arena you mean 300 platforms, Bast Statue and Heart Lantern, yeah! 🤣

[prisma meadow]

that

but with style

i'm rebuilding something similiar like this

but i haven't seen other people build/post areenas

[fiery roost]

Have you tried to fight bosses on this though? I think it's probably not very functional unless you use this as a base

Maybe it's two completely different ways to play the game

[prisma meadow]

it's just for fun

i played game to post plantera in calamity mod

and forgot building stuff

[fiery roost]

The only thing I did that would be something like this was making an Eternia Crystal altar for the arena. The altar was pretty, but the rest of the thing were Asphalt blocks and torches/gemspark walls anyway.

[prisma meadow]

but you could say it's for old one army, pumpking moon and frost moon events

[fiery roost]

That's what I hate the most about Hardmode. I usually just do seal clubbing when I reach Pumpkin Moon with whatever crowd control weapon I get my hands on. I only build stuff for pre-Hardmode.

[sleek wigeon]

Hello, I'd like some suggestions for improving my forest builds (I havent touched terraria in like 2 years so I'm quite rusty)

[rugged wedge]

you could try to add more colors

a monotone brown isnt too appealing

and this is personal preference but the roof on the second one could be changed to something like leaves, hay, or shingles as well.

[sleek wigeon]

I thought of shingles but the only time the merchant offered them I was kinda poor

[sleek wigeon]

I'd like that but I have no idea on how to implement it

[rugged wedge]

#terraria-creations message

not exactly that bc thats a snow build

but like adding stone helps a lot

[sleek wigeon]

I'll try the stone slab and gray brick combo, it looks great

[young bridge]

Try hammering your roof
Also shingles sold by travelling merchant

[rugged wedge]

...

[young bridge]

Some stone slabs/bricks could also add a lot

And deep paint them item flasks, the liquid inside copying item rarity rather than color hurts to look at

[sleek wigeon]

I'm pre bee, but that's the plan

[young bridge]

The fuck does QB have to do with this
Painter and dye trader have no boss requirements

Dye vat + 2 paint (not white, brown, grey or black) = deep paint

[paper mango]

my 1.4.5 gnome farm, with hoiks, timers, and belts :)

[young bridge]

All the tools for paint also sold by painter

[sleek wigeon]

Oh, just searched it up

Yeah i can do that

[tough hearth]

https://imgur.com/dpbCdQq fuck building underground desert or above/underground tundra, we are FISHMAXXING

[rugged wedge]

mmm

[tough hearth]

lwk i'm duping all the fishing quest fish

Eventually i'll have them all

[rugged wedge]

that is the strat

[exotic harness]

I can’t decide which side of my house to build a blacksmith on, so I’ll let yall decide

[prisma meadow]

are you planning to build something else near your house?

or only blacksmith

[exotic harness]

I want a little village with specialized buildings, blacksmith for furnaces, etc

I know I want to do something with that random ass pyramid

[sleek wigeon]

You could do it in the flat near the pond, which could double as a dock if you feel like it

[ashen wedge]

hey guys, im not a really creative person so ill ask yall but im doing some kind of town rn and im tired of the dirt ground so i was wondering if there was a good looking block for grounding

[compact latch]

Vampire "oh gee I wonder what structure I'll live in" the humble castle:

[rugged wedge]

i REALLY like it

its so unique as a castle

[upbeat ether]

can i ask u how u made the walls?

[rugged wedge]

probably wood and ebonwood mixed

[exotic harness]

In one of my worlds my town square uses a mix of stone and grass to feel somewhat authentic, and it looks cool

[rugged wedge]

i think thats what youre talking about

[ashen wedge]

ye it does

ill try that ty

[ashen birch]

how do i hide poking out walls like this again

[rugged wedge]

you can use echo walls

[ashen birch]

i feel like i remember this beign a thing

[young bridge]

you don't

[ashen birch]

ohh

fuckkk

it was echo walls not echo coating

broken heart emoji

[compact latch]

Only took a few hours of refinement until my brain decided yeah sure that

[rugged wedge]

@upbeat ether

ugh, i need ideas

like ill look at elden ring

[compact latch]

Ok how about a bosses arena with giant stacks of books

[rugged wedge]

but also the issue is that the elden ring stuff is always so big

[ashen birch]

thanks tho

[rugged wedge]

[exotic harness]

Easy, just level the entire world to give yourself even more space

[rugged wedge]

something like rya lucaria would be nice but its so damn big

maybe i do liurnia and really practice trees

i wont do like the exact thing buty just like a swamp with trees and such

[upbeat ether]

thank you

[proper ivy]

Here's how my jungle biome is looking on the map:

no wonder people don't post/make areena builds, mixing stones was horrible lol

will wip

[exotic harness]

I like it

I went for a floating approach, ignore the cages

[rugged wedge]

holy moly its vivi ornitier

(the shimmered wizard looks like vivi to me)

[prisma meadow]

i thought onlky angler need cage

[rugged wedge]

goblin def needs one

[latent nymph]

is it possible to use Tedit on a calamity world?

[rugged wedge]

yes but it messes stuff up

[exotic harness]

They’re in cages because they’re homeless in that world

[rugged wedge]

like calam chests get all bugged out

so all the contents get removed

[latent nymph]

so theres no escaping of doing a mushroom farm by hand

[rugged wedge]

for what

[latent nymph]

glowing mushrooms

and normal mushrooms

[rugged wedge]

ahh, if you needed seed the dryad sells them when in a mushroom biome

[latent nymph]

ik that, but i want to make a base that has every farm possible

if possible that is

[feral patrol]

i have a big area dug out but idk what to build any ideas

[rugged wedge]

make like a valley town nested betweeen 2 mountains

:(

[exotic harness]

What was that

[rugged wedge]

someone tried to post a link

[potent stratus]

bro why dont starfall clouds work during the day they look so good with echo coating

Here's the center of my world on the map, basically the middle is a mini snow biome:

[latent nymph]

https://imgur.com/a/25dvQ49 is it safe to make an arena on top of my base ? ( im playing calamity )

[exotic harness]

Safe for who….you or them?

[latent nymph]

for npcs

[exotic harness]

I mean, if you kill the boss fast enough anywhere is safe

[latent nymph]

on other thought, nvm i have an armor showcase, and it lags like hell

[proper ivy]

Up close photos of some of my other builds, including a map photo of some of my Hell layer.

[proper ivy]

Looks pretty efficient.

[latent nymph]

yeah, i have everything but an afk underground farm and arena

[latent nymph]

i love it ❤️

[exotic harness]

Oh cool samus

[proper ivy]

My WoF arena, the heart statues generate hearts when the pressure plates are stepped on.

[proper ivy]

That one was a pain in the ass to get the colors correct on the map, believe me.

[proper ivy]

No RoD farm?

[latent nymph]

rod farm ?

[latent nymph]

whats rod ?

[proper ivy]

rod of discord

Here's my Sora, took a while to get the colors perfect on the map.

[latent nymph]

im gonna make one when i get there

[proper ivy]

Even before you can shimmer the rod of discord it’s still incredibly helpful to have on any playthrough

[latent nymph]

will do

[potent stratus]

hey yall i need some build inspiration, right now i have a bit of a space magic theme to my world in my new playthrough and ill build anything in relation to either space or magic or both. I have a fallen star as my main base, a crescent moon with a star in my snow biome and it looks great with an aurora, and i have a giant pink sparkle with a small magical forest with pink and white trees in the shimmer biome. I wanna make something for the jungle now for a pylon but dont know what to build for the jungle and need inspiration. i was thinking about making like a cosmic tree but i feel that something like that would be best for my hallow biome so im unsure what to build in the jungle for a space/magical theme. Ive been using gem spark blocks for the most part because i like the vibe they bring towards the theme.

[mint imp]

I can't help but notice

You didn't mention wizard tower

Overgrown wizard tower

Otherwise maybe something constellation theme?

Floating above the jungle

[potent stratus]

would that work with bright blocks? i plan on either using gem blocks or like smooth textured blocks (like slime blocks) with illuminated paint

[potent stratus]

what can i search up in google for inspiration for an idea like that?

[mint imp]

Uhhhh

You'd have to eyeball it

[potent stratus]

because i dont go too much into detail really cause i suck at building, all my builds so far is just pixel art made into npc houses with maybe small detail

i enjoy the actual gameplay more than building honestly, just getting tired of the 3x12 prison boxes

[mint imp]

Well, you won't get better at building without practice,,,

3x12?! Not even shoeboxes holy

[potent stratus]

ooooh maybe a beanstalk into a cloud with something like a wizard tower could work

[mint imp]

Ooooooo beanstalk would be SICK

[potent stratus]

thats magic related and the wizard tower floating in the sky would be sick

i can use the emerald gem blocks for it and actuate some for shadowy touch to it

i think thats what ill do

thanks for the help if you didn’t mention wizard tower or floating island i probably wouldn’t have thought of that

[mint imp]

I didn't mention floating island btw

[potent stratus]

you just said floating

so i thought of island

but i think i could actuate the blocks of the beanstalk to make it look like a vine is wrapping around it

serves as like a staircase aswell in a way

[shell knot]

why do aetherium bricks look so ahh

i was making a cool shimmer biome pylon house and it just does not look great at all

[potent stratus]

try using flinx fur blocks maybe?

they look pretty good

[shell knot]

oh wow your right

thats nuts

thanks

[potent stratus]

or just pearlstone related blocks

yw

[shell knot]

sweet

[potent stratus]

i would suggest not using the walls of the flinx fur blocks tho they are kinda mid

up to you

[mint imp]

Random build idea

Literally walmart

Super high ceilings, lots of wall variety potential, plenty of pillars and upper greebles

Bonus points. Teleporters that bring you to hidden, other parts of the store

Like the meat coolers and the pharmacy

Hidden like, deep underground

[thin moth]

is there a specific reason i cant post images in here

[potent stratus]

no perms

use imgur

[crude moss]

New to building, trying to build a cool storage room in the snow biome. Anyone got any recomendations what blocks look good? Or some example builds for inspo?

[feral patrol]

okay thanks ive js seen this lol

[livid bear]

yes im also trying to build a storage room

but i already have an image in my mind

[queen belfry]

maybe a mine type of build? Pillars n mine cart tracks?

just a thought though

[crude moss]

What are you wanting to do? Im torn between doing like a optimized circle with max deposit length, and then maybe turning that into a yin yang circle somehow or indivdiual specalized storage rooms. Also was thinking if the circle maybe a pokeball would be unique?

[crude moss]

man, pillars exist? Lol. Sorry I just started the game a couple days ago, you may have just changed my whole world

[sharp veldt]

https://imgur.com/a/6TPyDGW

an example of a building using those walls

[crude moss]

Thank you man!!!! Thats exactly what I needed to see!! I have an idea now

[sharp veldt]

gl 🙏

[mint imp]

Are you aware of paint? 0w0

Paint is perhaps the greatest building tool ever devised

[livid bear]

left is storage right is crafting

[mint imp]

Why the ceilings so high man, gotta fill that empty space with smthg 0w0

[livid bear]

oh its because i was gonna fill the empty space with platforms and stuff on them

kinda like dungeon

[shell violet]

What’s the one with the circular pattern beneath the plat?

[sharp veldt]

The X one is silver The collumn one is plat and the bottom lining is ebonstone walls

(sorry was getting lunch)

[shell violet]

Was talking ab silver my bad

Was meaning the block not the walls 😂

[sharp veldt]

oh ok srry

[shell violet]

Looks vaguely like the metal used here on the bridge railing

[native oyster]

for the top of the tree should i make a canopy or a large ball like the huge living trees https://imgur.com/a/hDPLT2c

hey gamers, i’ve been cooking this up because i wanted an actual useful/pretty snow pylon but now i don’t really know what to do in it, i was thinking like big machinery or training camps (because i’ll place goblin and mechanic in a house here) to match the npcs… any ideas?

https://imgur.com/a/qru4jHR

[rugged wedge]

i NEED negative coating so bad

[rugged wedge]

sweatshop

that didnt get automodded

damn

[fiery roost]

I usually hate these ideas... But these are really good, actually. Negative coating is something me (and I assume a lot of other people) have been wishing for a while now

[rugged wedge]

idk how i feel about shimmer coating, i think ill have to actually see it

[safe galleon]

My fav is accent coating

[fiery roost]

I appreciate the idea of deep illuminant for custom lamps and shining objects too.

[rugged wedge]

kinda basic but i like a big ice spike for the snow pylon

[safe galleon]

Pure coating is so you could have biome blocks in your build

[rugged wedge]

thats real

[rugged wedge]

i would love this

[safe galleon]

Tough coating was for decorating adventure maps and puzzles

[tender fractal]

basic ≠ bad, i kinda like it
will do

[rugged wedge]

never made an adventure map but it def seems useful to an extent

[queen belfry]

ooh that looks really sweet

My blacksmith looks nowhere near as clean lol...

[rugged wedge]

tough coating would def need to be locked behind like golem so to not ruin enjoyment

[safe galleon]

I put it behind plantera cause pickaxe axe, shroomite, and spectre all have 200 pp

[rugged wedge]

heh, pp

[safe galleon]

Heh

[rugged wedge]

but yeah, was unsure as to when you got 200 pp

i assumed it was picksaw

[hushed badge]

I want to make a map of sorts

A horror one involving ingame cutscenes (all in vanilla of course)

[rugged wedge]

closest was i made like 1 scuffed parkour course once

[hushed badge]

I got a rough idea but I need free time

[rugged wedge]

i have so much free time and ive been doing nothing productive

Accent coating would be a godsend

Like, I guess there's nothing stopping me from just making flat platforms at certain heights

I did that for the underground and cavern

[mint imp]

Oooo you could build a big tree on the left and have it pierce the build

[tough hearth]

But since then i've been manually making giant enclosed cubes for some reason which massively increases the effort

[rugged wedge]

HI MEEP

[shell violet]

Green paint green moss is green

[mint imp]

On the left hill

[warm temple]

my inspiration is living in the hardmode jungle without being afraid of giant turtles

[tough hearth]

https://imgur.com/jd0ZWvv here's a map view

[mint imp]

Yup. Those are squares

[tough hearth]

yeah

They look so unimpressive

[fiery roost]

What you need are NPCs and pink candles, not decoration then 😂

But keep up with the castle-like build, the foundation is really interesting.

[tough hearth]

but god damn they're a lot of work

Each one goes from 130 above surface or so to a ways down in the cavern layer

[warm temple]

ty, its by far one of my simpler builds but im liking the gist of it

yeah I forgot pink candles even existed

[fiery roost]

Have you posted your builds here before? I want to check them out now

[warm temple]

Ive already finished terraria mm hardcore before yet I completely forgot the existence of them candles

[warm temple]

Oh I used to build quite a lot back then, this is my first build in a while, besides one I was working on a couple of weeks ago that I simply dropped

[shell violet]

Howdy

[fiery roost]

Goddamn, that castle in the Jungle is indeed one of your minor builds.

By the way, how did you do that 3D effects with two beveled blocks painted? Do you use echo blocks + walls?

Learning 3D might help me with a project I'm cooking.

[tough hearth]

https://imgur.com/BMqA7P7 because this is my first playthrough truly building more themed towns, I never knew just how much I love the set for boreal wood

(the blocky houses are placeholders while I build a big townhouse/shack)

[warm temple]

Its all about paint, actuators and using lots of different blocks and walls

[fiery roost]

Oh, actuators are a thing, never used them. Will try that later on, just have no idea how to achieve the bevels with two different tones.

[warm temple]

whats a bevel?

[shell violet]

They push blocks into the background, making them darker and passable

[warm temple]

oh I see

[warm temple]

Main point of making use of them in 3d is to make em darker

[shell violet]

Straight edge not square to the rest of the construction

[fiery roost]

When you hammer a block and it becomes a triangle rather than the default square.

I call that diagonal-ish block a bevel

[warm temple]

main blocks I make use of when painted white and actuated become about identical to gray painted walls

so in order to make a basic shadow one can use a gray painted block then a white painted actuated block

[shell violet]

Fair and technically correct I reckon, most people call them sloped

[warm temple]

or a gray painted block followed by a gray painted wall

or vice versa

[fiery roost]

Thanks for clarifying!

[swift sonnet]

How do I make a class that works like a vanilla class? I have a thrower class. I want to make the thrower similar to the vanilla class.

[warm temple]

white painted wall followed by a white painted actuated block

[shell violet]

Are you by any chance into wood working?

[fiery roost]

Oh, I guess it makes sense then! But it won't work with any other color than gray/white on stone, right?

[mint imp]

Big tip for making stuff look good. Mix some different woods or stones together, instead of going straight boreal.

[shell violet]

Only place I hear bevel edges is wood turning discussions 😂

[tough hearth]

I know

[fiery roost]

Not really, but I have been through many things in my life, including metal turning and CAD drawing.

[tough hearth]

I'm planning to at the very least add a lot of more crackly looking blocks (best way I can describe it)

kinda making it look like an old shack in the middle of a snowy place

with ice on it

[warm temple]

You can do non grayscale 3d too, however you're forced to making use of more blocks and walls than with grayscale, which tends to be a little more time consuming

This one is from early 2020, perspective and other stuff was really off but the point is the 3d colored stuff

For the front I used team blocks, side honey, walls were negative slime wall and negative sapphire gemspark wall

[mint imp]

I think this is the build of mine which uses boreal the most. You can also use mahogany and some other block for a log cabin vibe

[warm temple]

I also used negative sapphire gemspark block for the slopes

[tough hearth]

yeesh aint no way i'm pulling that off

[shell violet]

Metal turning might be it then, assume similar wood turning

[fiery roost]

Oh I get it, it really makes sense. I might not try it now, since the ideas I'm currently having are simpler than that and I might not be that competent for that.

[mint imp]

They both use fairly simple techniques. Especially the cabin

The bigger one is a bit complex because it's uses themed rooms

[warm temple]

Well it's all about time and practice really

[mint imp]

Which is a lil more advanced

[fiery roost]

I guess it was just me guessing the word for it. Most of the time I played Terraria was alone, and when I did in multiplayer, we were discussing mostly which boss to kill. I never really learned the game vocabulary.

I also never did hoik stuff.

[shell violet]

This place don’t use similar vocab 😂

[mint imp]

Oh and the hallow wood usage is also a lil bit advanced, using the lack of wall underneath to affect its texture

But other than that, it's just decent usage of background walls and blocks and paint

[tough hearth]

https://imgur.com/RYjbkPn rn i'm focusing on trying to make a good basic shape

[tough hearth]

I mean I also am not in hardmode and am on skyblock, so I don't exactly have an insane palette

[fiery roost]

Damn, this looks really nice and elaborate, but now I feel cheated by knowing how you did it 😂

I would never figure it out on my own

[mint imp]

Yeah, but the micro build uses all prehm mats

[rain portal]

god, wiring is much more simpler than redstone, but since there's lot more things to implement than just piston, its felt more complicated

[mint imp]

Because it was designed with the intent as a generated structure

[tough hearth]

Yeah it looks nice

[mint imp]

In terms of town hall, I'd try to do something like this in terms of shape. With a central tower, 2 wings, and a big meeting room in the middle

[fiery roost]

It is certainly much more complex. Don't try to learn it all in one go though, but try something new with time. When you start with logic gates, then you are literally working computer stuff inside the game.

[mint imp]

But like, smaller. Obviously.

Something like this maybe?

[tough hearth]

ugh I wish I had actuators

I haven't even done skeletron because i've just been procrastinating with building the other biomes and maxing my fishing power

[mint imp]

Including some roofs to help shape the structure

[exotic harness]

All finished

[warm temple]

A lil more stuff with color

[mint imp]

Oooo explain garage?

Actually, could bump up the center room, to make the meeting hall even more important like this...

@tough hearth thoughts?

[tough hearth]

Not really a town hall, I moreso just meant big house

https://imgur.com/kSWrJJb look at this cool little thing I did tho

The tree is a support

it lwk looks cool

[mint imp]

Hmmm... The biggest thing in house design is asymmetricality. And you should be using a differing block (like red brick) as roofing, to build out overhangs and support

Support trees p cool~

[tough hearth]

I like it when its symmetrical, but I can add in asymmetry later perhaps

[mint imp]

Here's an example house™ showing off various, simple techniques

Note how the roof helps fill out the shape of the build.

[tough hearth]

I mean I get the idea

I just am not quite cracked at this yet

Literally just started seriously trying to build in this game for the first time in like 11 years a couple days ago 😭

[mint imp]

And that's okay!
I'm just trying to push you towards more advanced basic techniques, jumpstart your journey with some fundamentals.

[tough hearth]

Tbf I also probably wont be doing this for a ton of time

but I do appreciate the help

[vital heath]

Hey guys

How do i send pics

it won’t let me

[mint imp]

#terrarian-role-info

[vital heath]

hm

[tough hearth]

https://imgur.com/JmWZtFt started adding some cool looking cracks and stuff

[vital heath]

I’ve been in this server for 5 years lol

I guess that’s not enough for that role…

[tough hearth]

I mean same here

But tbf i'm not exactly super active

[vital heath]

me neither

[mint imp]

Bro you have less that 100 messages sent

[vital heath]

I’m just trying to send a picture because i cannot for the life of me shape out this house im building

[mint imp]

Use imgur

[vital heath]

idk how

i’m on xbox

[mint imp]

Hmmm

[tough hearth]

I have 64 messages 💀

[vital heath]

i just used a normal pic

https://imgur.com/a/IrXepJf

I can’t shape it out for the life of me

[tough hearth]

Actually all 64 are since yesterday, meaning my ass somehow never sent a message in the 7 years of being here

[vital heath]

lol

i’m gonna make the snow biome my main house bc i love the aurora in the game now

I’ve always liked the snow biome

And boreal

but i’m using brown painted dynasty

[mint imp]

What kinda building you going for?

Just a house?

[vital heath]

Cabin ish

That’s why i made it fairly large

[tough hearth]

@mint imp https://imgur.com/LzNL2e6 here's an actually cool town I made this playthrough

[vital heath]

why is it floating

[tough hearth]

skyblock

[mint imp]

It's like Skyblock or smthng

[vital heath]

ah

[vital heath]

but yeah

some cabin type

house

I always build fancy shoeboxes

[tough hearth]

https://imgur.com/jd0ZWvv this is literally my world map

[mint imp]

Oooo you could do an A frame!

[vital heath]

https://imgur.com/a/4I6JTp1

that’s my starter base

[mint imp]

Something shaped like this maybe?

God, I used to have such sauce, I'm so washed now ;-;

[tough hearth]

Dude I wish so badly for there to be some sort of invisibility paint so I can have the look of no walls without making invalid housing

[mint imp]

There is

[tough hearth]

holy shit

really

[mint imp]

Echo coating

[vital heath]

Yes

[tough hearth]

god I hope I can obtain it rn

[vital heath]

i kind of liked this

[mint imp]

But uh I think it's sold by the cyborg?

[vital heath]

Well i can’t send it ofc

my lord

[tough hearth]

FUCK

[mint imp]

You could do. Is do a texture pack

And just make one random block invisible

As a temp solush

[tough hearth]

Nah it's fine, i'll just have the lower habitable places be seperated from the messed up part by platforms for now

[mint imp]

Or buy it from the cyborg in another world since who really cares if you get echo coating early

[tough hearth]

I actually have zero other vanilla terraria worlds on this pc somehow

[mint imp]

Oh.

[tough hearth]

I could always cheat it in

But whatever, no reason when I could just wait

[vital heath]

Lwk that’s what i did in this world i didn’t have the painter so i just bought paint from another world sue me

[tough hearth]

can you place icicles by any means

[mint imp]

I use cheat sheet like, constantly, when I'm building. It doesn't really matter to me

Uhhh rubblemaker maybe?

[tough hearth]

Cheat sheet isn't available for 1.4.5 yet

[tough hearth]

Would that even be able to place them on something non icy

[mint imp]

Yeah. I haven't gotten to see the cool new 1.4.5 stuff yet 😭

[placid galleon]

What are you trying to make

i’m so confused

[tough hearth]

[placid galleon]

My glorious particle accelerator

[mint imp]

Ye, smol holes are acceptable

[tough hearth]

messed up icy shack

[vital heath]

ah

[tough hearth]

in all my years I thought you needed walls through the whole thing

[primal mural]

crazy

[mint imp]

Smol holes are how I did my uh reception desk in my apartment and observatory

[placid galleon]

It works rlly well

On pc runs way smoother

But I play on console

Sooo

Its kinda ass

[tough hearth]

Massive shame tbh, it adds official skyblock which is what i'm playing

[mint imp]

See how the wood sticks up at the desk slightly?

That's because there's a gap in the wallpaper there

[tough hearth]

yea

[mint imp]

It's a pretty neat technique

[rugged wedge]

i do that with my fireplaces a lot

[tough hearth]

https://imgur.com/2m7x8gg lwk i'm liking how messed up its coming along

[mint imp]

Oh, like, through the roof?

That's p cool

[mint imp]

Ough

That's SICK

[rugged wedge]

some wals def work better for it than others

[mint imp]

And then... Actuated stone blocks?

Er, gray brick

Ykwim

[rugged wedge]

its just all walls with some echo coating on a few to make it stick out a bit

[mint imp]

I seees

[tough hearth]

https://imgur.com/f1qv1kt what are these btw

the darker wall

[rugged wedge]

ebonwood walls

[tough hearth]

oh cool

[agile timber]

brown painted ebonwood

[paper mulch]

can someone help me identify the horizontal beams in this photo?

https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?attachments/oasis_town-png.406703/

[mild rock]

dynasty wood?

[paper mulch]

nope, neither blue nor white dynasty wood

[near yoke]

looks like brown painted bamboo walls

[mild rock]

do you mean the vertical beams? not the horizontal ones?

[near yoke]

i think they mean these

[mild rock]

bc if you do, it's large bamboo walls painted brown

[near yoke]

mhm yeah

[paper mulch]

i mean the ones going horizontal

[near yoke]

oh

[paper mulch]

i have the bamboo ones

its driving me crazy

the uneven shape makes me think its wood but none of the woods i have match the battern

[near yoke]

looks like some kind of stone

[paper mulch]

maybe sandstone brick??

[near yoke]

not sure though

maybe

[mild rock]

hardened sand?

[paper mulch]

ill check

[near yoke]

can you check like a list of all walls

do that

[mild rock]

can you circle the block you want?

[paper mulch]

its not sandstone brick

uhhh how do i uplaod a photo

[compact latch]

Slab

[paper mulch]

i can only send links i think, and ill double check the list of walls on the wiki

[mild rock]

if you don't permissions, you need to use imgur

[tough hearth]

is there any kind of snow/ice wall I can place

[compact latch]

Is it that stuff

[mild rock]

oh that? that should be sandstone brick wall painted orange

idk if it's deep orange or just regular orange though

[near yoke]

snow bricks or ice bricks

[mild rock]

I think ebonstone brick wall has a similar texture too so if the color's not right, you can try both

[tough hearth]

alr i'll see

[compact latch]

It's one of the slabs

[paper mulch]

yeah that. i placed sandstone brick and it did not look the same

i will try slabs

[near mango]

are you sure you don't have a resource pack on? lol

it's definitely either sandstone or ebonstone brick wall

[paper mulch]

vanilla

[mint imp]

It's ebonstone brick

Pretty sure

[near yoke]

oh well there you go @paper mulch

[compact latch]

Just get anything with slab in the name

[near yoke]

yeah it looks like that

[paper mulch]

trying that next

[wary bridge]

Anyone got any tips for texturing large amounts of natural looking stone for like a cliff or mountain? Anytimr i fo it, it looks spotty

[paper mulch]

def ebonstone, thank you!

was driving me crazy

[mild rock]

send a pic?

[paper mulch]

you know what, i actually have do not think its ebonstone. im very frustrated, every type of slab or brick wall i apply does not have that uneven bottom layer between the brick wall and the sandstone wall

[near mango]

it physically is one of the walls between sandstone or ebonstone, not a single other wall in the game has those textures

walls overlapping like that is often inconsistent

[paper mulch]

ill test the order of application to see if i can recreate the unevenness then

[mint imp]

Uneven?

Do you mean the desert haze?

Because there's a HIGH probability that's just desert haze

[near mango]

they likely mean this, which could be a heat distortion moment but

actually yeah it most definitely is just a heat distortion moment you can easily see it with the far right tile lol

[mint imp]

And the table

[near mango]

heat distortion is just not a pleasant setting though, builds look far better & more consistent without it

[mint imp]

Table is normally straight and symmetrical

[near mango]

but yeah for explanation this is what is causing it @paper mulch

[mint imp]

But because of heat distortion it looks like that

[near mango]

not exclusively a desert thing (as iirc it also applies to underworld stuff) but yea

[paper mulch]

😐

jesus ok than

thank you all

[mint imp]

Mystery solved 🎉

[paper mulch]

so its just freaking sandstone brick this entire time

[near mango]

well yes as no other brick wall in the game matches texture wise besides ebonstone brick which is a slight recolour with a little varied shading

[paper mulch]

its been raining the entire time ive been trying to recreate this

[near mango]

that would also do it

as heat distortion impacts that

additionally also tied to your lighting setting too

[warm temple]

wow, just fought wof and

[mild rock]

tbh I'd use a diff type of block to texture it

[warm temple]

thats probably the easiest wof fight ive ever had

despite the fact its mm

prep really is everything ig

[mild rock]

it also looks like there's a lot of horizontal/vertical lines formed by the blocks you placed down when texturing

mainly it looks patchy bc it is patchy. the blocks you're using to texture aren't being evenly distributed within the stone

[wary bridge]

is there any way to make even distribution easier or just practice?

[crude moss]

I JUST FOUND OUT AND CAME BACK ALL HYPE TO THE CHAT HAHA

[tough hearth]

https://imgur.com/Ic3Jrf6 oh my god it turned out so good

[crude moss]

Thank you very much i am very excited to try the shimmer paint on my arnea build. Im trying to make a aether/shimmer themed arena

[tough hearth]

Went through all the effort to fill in the ground below it with ice to make it look like it isn't a floating island

So worth it

[mild rock]

pratice tbh

texturing can be quite time consuming

[tough hearth]

@mint imp

[mild rock]

usually I use 3-5 types of blocks when texturing

basically you don't want to see unnatural patterns, and when you do, use a diff block to break it up

[mint imp]

It definitely came together more than I thought it would lol. Pretty neato build

[crude moss]

The lighting makes it look so good!

[wary bridge]

pretend i heart reacted your messages

thanks

[tough hearth]

thanks, putting effort into the surrounding environment made all the difference

[tough hearth]

IKR??

I'm so happy I found such a perfect wall to put for the little ice cave below too

Marble walls

[mint imp]

Oooo I didn't even notice the tunnel

That's p cool

https://imgur.com/a/5bnaJKV

@young bridge do u like

[young bridge]

Looks good

I'd give the roof a smidge more texture with grey bricks and add a row of brick walls behind the fireplace to have the chimney sorta look like its going through the wall up to the roof but otherwise this is a really solid house

[pallid nebula]

ok

[pallid nebula]

thanks

@young bridge https://imgur.com/a/iSPKpqi

this is the worst one ive built imo

[young bridge]

A little too bland with the walls and the tower is a little... Er... Empty? And kinda textureless...

Everything else is pretty good

[pallid nebula]

how could i add more to texture

also the dye trader keeps sitting in the stylist's chair

[young bridge]

Make it thicker, make it smaller, add something to make the walls not flat, different walls, etc.

[young bridge]

NPCs don't really give a shit which piece of furniture is in which room
If a chair is open they will sit

[pallid nebula]

yeah but even if the chair isnt open he just stands near the stylist's chair instead of his owm

[young bridge]

iunno dude

If you want some inspiration here's my desert NPC housing build #terraria-creations message

Not my best build, but hardened sand is a nice texturing block

[pallid nebula]

how do u get

the

gramophone

[young bridge]

Music box from wizard -> records Deerclop's theme

[pallid nebula]

bruh

i aint doin allat

[young bridge]

Its not that much...?
All you need is to have music nox equipped around Deerclops, it'll have the theme recorded and you're done
You can do them in bulk so you only need 1 deerclops
Deerclops summons also show up in ice chests now...

[old monolith]

Gem stained glass wall with a darker wall border would be good on the tower.

[pallid nebula]

i dont know how to get that 😭

[pallid nebula]

yeah i already looted all of the deerclops summons

https://imgur.com/a/TYtvYYV surely this build has no flaws right

[young bridge]

These aren't really "flaws" but I'd use wrought iron fence over the regular one
Also texturing slabs with gray brick

[pallid nebula]

hold on i took @old monolith 's advice

https://imgur.com/a/yhKc3Js

[pallid nebula]

i didnt know "wrought iron fence" existed

[young bridge]

you would if you tried looking for more blocks to use in your builds

[pallid nebula]

hey man how am i supposed to just randomly place a heavy workbech in a graveyard biome

[young bridge]

... ask the guide

[waxen sandal]

Just started this like 30 mins ago. its for a much bigger build. biggest I have ever done. there are other parts that are done but I wont show until its all complete. p.s. I know the texturing is very choppy but I havent really put in the time yet.

[old monolith]

https://imgur.com/a/rz7yUwX My base on my first 1.4.5 playthrough. Could've textured and designed it more but I got lazy lol.

[waxen sandal]

looks cool. I would definitely work on that texturing a bit more

here are some older builds part of the same project. as the castle entrance I just built.

I have expanded a shit ton on these builds recently

[old monolith]

is the sword placed with rubble maker?

[waxen sandal]

yes

[old monolith]

woah i didnt know that it has that lol

[waxen sandal]

yeah

its a terragrim I used in it

I just completed 100% of my research menu with the 1.4.5 items so now I decided to start building again.

[old monolith]

Nice

Can I ask something, is it possible to paint rails?

[waxen sandal]

I think so with deep paints

I never really use them though

[old monolith]

Then its so good for hand railings for bridges and stairs.

[pallid nebula]

@old monolith https://imgur.com/a/uoRXlRA is this what its supposed to look like

[peak fjord]

My Clothier Shimmer house:

[waxen sandal]

looks cool

[old monolith]

Personally, I would've bordered the glass stained walls and removed the pillars

[pallid nebula]

border with what

[old monolith]

woah, thats cool. is that the new gothic brick?

[pallid nebula]

if i use paint on the sides its all blocky

[old monolith]

actuated hammered blocks should do the trick

[pallid nebula]

actuators

ACTUATORS

i dont even know how to use those

😭

[peak fjord]

Yes

[peak fjord]

Thanks 👍

[peak fjord]

Thanks 👍

[pallid nebula]

DUDEHOW THE HELL

AM I SUPPOSED TO USE ACTUATORS

bro this desert house is genuinely my worst build

https://imgur.com/a/cWI1lE6 like how can i build THIS

but not a STUPID DESERT HOUSE

[old monolith]

Try to learn it, it will make builds so good lol

[pallid nebula]

yo how do i delete actuators

[old monolith]

Most of it are hammered blocks. Dont know the names of all the blocks used but you can check the wiki for that lol

[pallid nebula]

how do i break actuators

[old monolith]

wire cutter

if you have "the grand design" item you can use that too

[sly ridge]

anyone got a desgin for larg npc housing?

[rugged wedge]

my ruins build

i still need to add some rubble and such

[plucky zealot]

some texturing on the stone would go a long way

[rugged wedge]

im working on the ones near the tree rn

[rugged wedge]

like this?

[plucky zealot]

not really, its still mudstone for the most part

like this for example

[rugged wedge]

theres crimstone brick and green slab walls in there

[plucky zealot]

(also gonna start a new jungle build for once, been a min

[rugged wedge]

but i guess the textures are pretty close to each other

[plucky zealot]

hmmm my brain is blanking

[blazing comet]

Atleast you've got one🫠
I'm jealous now

[plucky zealot]

ill probably just go for something nice and familliar just more advanced, something like a botanical research outpost

[rugged wedge]

i removed the fog if it makes it easier to see

im not the biggest fan of the fog

[plucky zealot]

still the mudstone ratio is way to high

[acoustic swan]

what block did you use for it. it looks cool

[plucky zealot]

looks like mudstone, regular stone and crimstone

[rugged wedge]

yeah

[plucky zealot]

oh actually i have a great idea for the general shape and structure

[rugged wedge]

im not the best at stone mixing

i dont really get it very much

[plucky zealot]

what part do you not get

[rugged wedge]

i dont like whats supposed to be mixed and where

with the tree, i made like vines and made that out of leaf compared to the usual mahog leaves

[plucky zealot]

well at the end of the day its whatever you like the best, my opinion is just my preference

generally i mix my stone stuff like this

it has a pretty worn vibe to it

[rugged wedge]

i usually dont do too bad in buildings i feel live

[acoustic swan]

That looks sick. What is it?

[rugged wedge]

like just normal buildings

[plain steeple]

bro how do people build like this

ive just started to try building houses that arent just boxes or towers

[rugged wedge]

stone, green brick, gray brick, mudstone brick, crimstone brick

[plain steeple]

and some of these in here are nuts

[rugged wedge]

practice

[bitter moon]

If that wall is supposed to have been made of bricks at some point try putting in some gray brick, or another block with some more structure to break up the crunchy-ness you've got going ot atm

[acoustic swan]

I mean like the build itself

[rugged wedge]

people have been building here for like years

[plucky zealot]

stone, crimstone bricks, mudstone, ebonstone bricks, blue dungeon bricks, gray bricks, copper bricks and probably some other things sprinkled throughout

[rugged wedge]

my main issue is i want the darkness of the mudstone brick in the build

[plucky zealot]

if yall want i can document my creative process for the build im making rn, conveniently it has a bunch of stone in it

[rugged wedge]

like i got similar with actuated crimstone brick

[acoustic swan]

Something I've started doing is making the walls and ceiling 2 blocks thick

[plucky zealot]

this is what ill be starting with

[bitter moon]

Gray brick was just an example. In your case I 100% agree it's probably too bright but I think it gets the idea across as to what I would be looking for in a block to mix in

Maybe one of the dungeon bricks?

[rugged wedge]

i added a bit over here

[bitter moon]

Yes. I like that 🙂

[rugged wedge]

it works especially well because of the already weathered look of some of it

[plucky zealot]

air gap bad

[rugged wedge]

i fixed it

i thought it was slopes being weird but it was no wall

[silk hawk]

Hey guys

Can someone tell me

https://imgur.com/a/twAUo11

What are the background walls that were used

For the stone background

[rugged wedge]

looks like mudstone and green slab

maube some gray brick

[plucky zealot]

alot of different ones, its too blurry to tell which ones exactly

[silk hawk]

Only 2?

[rugged wedge]

i def see green slab

but thats about all that in certain on

[silk hawk]

Also is that a platform on top of the multicolored glass walls?

[rugged wedge]

no def mudstone too

[silk hawk]

How to do that

[rugged wedge]

i believe thats a blue brick platform

nope

[silk hawk]

Thank u so much

And lastly

Whats that on top floor

[rugged wedge]

its green brick platform

for thw indow

[silk hawk]

The wall under the item frame

[rugged wedge]

too blurry to really tell, i assume its like palm wood

maybe improved?

[plucky zealot]

too much green brick now

[rugged wedge]

fair

i need to find naother good block for it

[plucky zealot]

there are other dungeon bricks to mix

eitherway, after a little thinking this will be the foundation

[rugged wedge]

ancient green brick is nice for a darker gray brick texture

i wouldnt do this but i need an easy reference for gray painted bricks anyway so i may as well not procrastinate

[sacred dew]

quick little desert pylon

[plucky zealot]

pretty nice tbh

not a fan of the texture pack but oh well

[sacred dew]

polaris and prime are so much better than vanilla

vanilla looks grainy af

Even the devs know that, the new textures are much more like polaris and prime

[plucky zealot]

big pass for me tbh

[sacred dew]

the prospector set and welding mask (the thing im wearing) look straight outta calamity with their insane use of hue shifting

[rugged wedge]

we need decorative cracked dungeon bricks

we are ALL using the luminite bricks in our builds

why is there so many 😭

[plucky zealot]

i think ill go for this style of greenhouse

[plain steeple]

what should i do with this area between my house and fishing hut? i wanna make some sort of bridge but not too sure how to do it
https://imgur.com/a/n0m5W3J

[rugged wedge]

tree

[plucky zealot]

yeah, garden + stone bridge would be cool

[plain steeple]

ill give them both a try, ive been using other builds as references but i kinda want to do give that my own shot

ty

[rugged wedge]

aetherium brick painted black gives a really nice effect

eh?

[plucky zealot]

after a bit of fitting i decided this is gonna be the general shape of the green house

[silk hawk]

Hey guys what else can i add to make this better

I kinda feel like it's missing a whole lot of things

[rugged wedge]

i like the tent but it kinda feels slightly off

[silk hawk]

Any suggestions

[rugged wedge]

im not too sure why so not really

[silk hawk]

Thats the spawn btw

What about the terrain

[rugged wedge]

looks fine to me

maybe the bricks are a little light shade wise

[astral brook]

[slow thorn]

Well they're meant to be into the moon phases, since it's a Moon lord drop n all

[rugged wedge]

[slow thorn]

I wanna get some money scheming going cause apparently you can get a projector by throwing a plat coin into desert water?

I want that grayscale look it makes

A plat is gonna take a while to get though

[rugged wedge]

[silk hawk]

This is so helpful bro

[rugged wedge]

[silk hawk]

No longer have to keep placing blocks to know how it looks

[rugged wedge]

Working on a tower for the wizard to live in, but I'm a bit stumped on what the top should look like

[rugged wedge]

comically tall pointed roof

[queen belfry]

pointy like a wizard hat?

alot of towers do that

[acoustic swan]

K

[rugged wedge]

like this but more comically tallwe

[queen belfry]

Oh I forgot to show my house in this I think

[acoustic swan]

Are those dynasty shingles?

[blazing comet]

Yes

[rugged wedge]

yess

[queen belfry]

Dynasty wood my beloved

What do y'all think of my house + pylon

ignore the turtle on a shelve and bunny on the roof

I didn't remove them cause i thought it looked mad funny tho

[acoustic swan]

Awesome

How about this?

[rugged wedge]

yeah

[acoustic swan]

What should I put in the empty space?

[rugged wedge]

possible more shingles but that could get boring for the eyes

[rugged wedge]

i put a vine in this one but thats because there was a vine around the whole build

[acoustic swan]

I could probably put a bedroom or smth
