[silk hawk]

Hey bro do u wanna multiplayer?

[silk hawk]

Look and tell me if the tent still look off

https://imgur.com/a/h6bzwQ4

[acoustic swan]

no

[blazing comet]

I mean I'm a mobile player :>

[rugged wedge]

i dont see what changed really. i think the thing i see as being off is the back/overall shape. it kinda feels a little unnatural

how to fix that? i genuinely have no clue, sorry

[blazing comet]

+don't think this is the right channel

[rugged wedge]

it really doesnt matter much

not like theres many people chatting

[blazing comet]

Just sayin

[silk hawk]

I added more trees

[rugged wedge]

oohhh

i see it now

i was too focused on the tent

[silk hawk]

I was tryna make it like a dense forest

At spawn

And u spawn at a tent with campfire

[blazing comet]

That's honestly really creative

[rugged wedge]

not the biggest fan of this but i would probably do something like this for the tent

[silk hawk]

Will try

But that's actually kinda better

No need for me to jump over the tent

[rugged wedge]

you could have platforms echo coated on the right to make it housing if you want

[silk hawk]

Thank you

[rugged wedge]

wood on top looks a little better, still not a big fan of it tho

[silk hawk]

Should i maybe change the tent color?

[rugged wedge]

def getting somewahere

[rugged wedge]

thats up to you

[short yoke]

I got a good vampire vanity

[rugged wedge]

bleh bleh bleh

[short yoke]

I’m using bat wings vanity and chippy’s armor

[rugged wedge]

havent seen chippys armor

[short yoke]

Yea it’s annoying to get the doll

[rugged wedge]

ive seen like clothier set

[short yoke]

Yea

[rugged wedge]

oh...

thats not at all what i was expecting

[short yoke]

I spent like 30 mins getting the doll

[rugged wedge]

i always make a farm in the dungeon

first thing i do

[short yoke]

I just kinda sit there

Oh cool

[rugged wedge]

its not really a farm

you just empty a spike pit

[short yoke]

Yea

But still

I managed to get terraprisma

What dye should I use for it

[rugged wedge]

i heard that it messes up the player model but idk

[short yoke]

I’ve seen solar which is pretty good

[rugged wedge]

for a vampire id do like something red, black, or white

[short yoke]

I’ve tried

[rugged wedge]

idk what youre really going for tho

[short yoke]

It’s basically same without dye

Black kinda changes it

[rugged wedge]

red and silver changes it

[short yoke]

Wait I got a good vampire idea

Dio

Hmmm

[rugged wedge]

i kinda like bloodbath

[short yoke]

There should be a lifestyle amulet

Ooh

Perfect

[rugged wedge]

twilight isnt bad either

[short yoke]

Dio Brando seems like a cool idea

Yea

[rugged wedge]

and shadow dye makes it pretty much black

[short yoke]

Yea

Getting a full moon will take forever

[rugged wedge]

last one ill send

[short yoke]

Whoa

Now that’s perfect

[rugged wedge]

negative dye

[short yoke]

Time to find some weeds

Bebe

Brb*

[young bridge]

whar

[rugged wedge]

look at this one
#terraria-creations message

[young bridge]

yea what about it

[rugged wedge]

every block

just thought itd be nice

[young bridge]

too small :(
can't see shi

[jagged arch]

@tacit fable privet

@tacit fable

[rugged wedge]

you should be able to zoom in a bit

[young bridge]

yeah, doesn't help much tho

still tiny

[rugged wedge]

also saving can zoom in better

[young bridge]

imma uhh
just look at da wiki

[rugged wedge]

it doesnt have 1.4.5 blocks

and i sent gray painted and brown painted blocks too

[young bridge]

its still blurry with max zoom in

[rugged wedge]

who is lookhire and why do you ping him so much

discord def compressed it

[young bridge]

unfortunate

[rugged wedge]

when zoomed in for me all the way i can tell what the blocks are

[short yoke]

I have 2 questions

How do I get the glowing moss

And what are those crystals in the shimmer dungeon on the secret seed

[rugged wedge]

its near the edge of the world in the caverns

[short yoke]

Yea

It’s in my shimmer

How do I collect it tho

[rugged wedge]

paint scraper

[short yoke]

Ok

[rugged wedge]

idk about this one

[short yoke]

I saw them in a shimmer biome build too

[rugged wedge]

id need like a pic

[short yoke]

Hmmm

I can’t send them yet

I’ll try to find it tho

[rugged wedge]

and the glowing moss is just anywhere in the caverns but not under spawn

[short yoke]

Yea

[rugged wedge]

lava can be anywhere in the lava layer

[rugged wedge]

imgur

[short yoke]

Iliya used the blocks in a build

[rugged wedge]

?

the spikes?

if so then its aetherium block/brick

gotten from liquid touching shimmer

[short yoke]

https://imgur.com/a/tUgOipp#xZT1goI

There

Ok

Thanks

[rugged wedge]

ill leave this here if anyone cares about this

[blazing comet]

Yeah he probably wanted to know the name of aetherium blocks

Oh I forgot to say, some of the aetherium blocks I used are painted purple

So yeah some of em are not just pure aetherium :>

[vital heath]

I think i finally got a shape i like

https://imgur.com/a/6rr4Nez

Why’s it doing this now

Idk but if anyone wanna see here it is lol

[viral terrace]

is my build good

[blazing comet]

Looks great so far
Try using illuminant paint on the shimmer fall backgrounds

[rugged wedge]

i would say with the trees, try to make sure you can’t see the branches connected to the tree

#terraria-creations message

with most trees you wouldn’t be able to see the branches because they are covered by leaves

i finally feel happy with a tree i built to use it as a reference for someone

[viral terrace]

im guessing that makes it match more with the actual shimmer

[blazing comet]

Actually atherium trees are such a good idea, imm try that too

[blazing comet]

Yeah!

[rugged wedge]

also negative paint with living leaf blocks works too

[viral terrace]

this was my inspo photo off twitter i just tweaked a few things

[viral terrace]

i used the paint and added a little touch at the bottom

[blazing comet]

Looks great

[feral patrol]

is the ore there demonite?

[dusty stream]

the crystal alone took me an entire hour to figure out how i wanna space things and so on, but it turned out really nicely... this is just a hallow house, i did NOT have to spend 2 hours on building it especially since this isnt gonna be seen a lot once we are done with this world and start the next one, but i did and it was worth

[sonic geode]

looking at this I'm thinking about actuating them with differenatial decending order to make it seems like they're glowing outward

kind of like a neon sign

[dusty stream]

i thought about doing some actuation but im thinking it would probably downstep the brightness too much, i really want it to shine bright and colorful, fitting for the hallow

[short yoke]

https://imgur.com/a/FtKCZ8G

What should I add

[viral terrace]

furniture

[short yoke]

Yea

I’m working on that

Should I color the walls?

[viral terrace]

which ones

[short yoke]

The white

[viral terrace]

no it looks good

[short yoke]

K

What furniture type should I use

[viral terrace]

living wood or dynasty

[short yoke]

K

[viral terrace]

either could look good

[vital heath]

Final product

[wooden sigil]

Does anyone have a picture of a cute oasis fishing hut build I can look at for inspiration? I have an oasis right next to spawn and want to make a house for my Angler

[vital heath]

I have the same type of thing too

[wooden sigil]

It's so cool

I love how cute it is

(Need to remove that grave lol)

[vital heath]

Mine is super similar actually

I can’t send pictures

i did just build this tho

https://imgur.com/a/w692vmx

I was super proud of it

[wooden sigil]

Can you DM it to me? It's not showing up on Imgur

Currently working on a new jungle build

[shell violet]

What are your favourite vegetation themed walls?
I can do stone (haven’t done the wall texturing yet) just not used to added greenery

Leaf plus the grass seed ones

[queen belfry]

wait there's grass seed walls.????

[plucky zealot]

Lime painted living leaf walls are extremely versatile with shaping stuff, for more detailed vegetation you can go with hallowed shard walls painted lime

They go very well with Strange plants

And just mix those around your stone walls

You can also use green moss walls

[queen belfry]

wait you built that??

that looks sick as hell!

[plucky zealot]

Yeah! Thanks

[queen belfry]

Love the hanging pot usage

One of my favorite items

[plucky zealot]

So true, use them a little too much tbh

[queen belfry]

ooh I love the roof shape on that

[plucky zealot]

Thanks ^^ that was the main purpose of the build to practice that style of roof afaik I'm the first one to use that technique but I'm probably not

[queen belfry]

all my roofs are so basic lol

[plucky zealot]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1259896569117802506/1458187564878921903/image.png?ex=698a3bff&is=6988ea7f&hm=592df1720996b5cb2b3942609d802f53065e09bceb3e73e44704689279a2ff8b&

[queen belfry]

I need to work on it but ehh

[plucky zealot]

Started out with that

I wanted to make a roof purely off walls

[queen belfry]

love those windows on this & the above image

Looks really neat

[plucky zealot]

Ty!

Everything comes with time and practice

It took me forever to build a proper 'normal' house

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1259896569117802506/1365074896115335348/image.png?ex=698a4f91&is=6988fe11&hm=9b7cba87553bb877e247972f059fef675baf3047b2a3b8b693c267a7337cc1a9& now I feel pretty comfortable with furnishing

[queen belfry]

doing the insides of houses is definitely where I struggle alot

I pretty much build without thinking about inside decor at all 😭

anyways I'll be off to make my snow house & pylon for now, cya!

[plucky zealot]

Cya! Gl

[main urchin]

I'd be a good builder if I wasn't lazy fr

[plucky zealot]

I'm a lazy mf and yet I'm decent at building

[exotic harness]

Me too you just gotta embrace the lazy, one or two rooms a day

Outline here or there

[fiery roost]

You are not just decent. Your builds are really interesting, and your underground lighting is spot-on.

Those ruins you posted earlier, on a cloud, they are really good, and the tree is great.

[quasi kindle]

WOW

[zinc spade]

oh alr

[pine gorge]

It's taken months, but I finally finished (for now) my greatest Terraria project ever: The Grand Display.

It contains every block, wall, furniture, and other placeable object prior to 1.4.5, along with labels for everything in an accompanying Google Doc. The world download is up on the Steam Workshop if you wanted to check it out. There is so much stuff, I can't really showcase it any other way.

The purpose of this project is to be a visual guide for builders, so they can see everything that Terraria has to offer them. I plan to update it to include 1.4.5 stuff in the future, but for now It's all from before the update.

[slow thorn]

Idk how a portrait of the Eye would work...

[wooden sigil]

(After taking this picture, I cut down the tree closest to the door, added a hanging sign on the left side, and fixed the out of place chair)

Also noticing that I think I missed a paint spot

[tropic stone]

is there a mod or texturepack that makes ropes connect to platforms

like if they dont have a rope above

PLEASE i need ts

[azure falcon]

hey yall i forgot to screenshot it but here's a build a made in the vc esrlier (sorry for bad photo quality lol)

and i spent too long making a water wheel teying to figure out circles

[viral terrace]

why does this well hellavator build look weird

any tips?

[slow dew]

background walls

I would make something so the rope looks more attached, as well as making the walls thicker

[astral brook]

i usually have my hell wells 2 blocks thigh for walls and the wall brick with it eventually crumbling away to dirt and stone

[wooden sigil]

This is a well I made once that I like. Putting 1 block between the well and rope helps

[exotic harness]

Here’s one of mine, atmosphere works wonders for immersion

[viral terrace]

ooh i love that

what happens as it goes down

[wooden sigil]

Gives me Royal Waterway from Hollow Knight vibes

Would there be any way to naturally incorporate a water fountain to make the water a different color?

[viral terrace]

you could prob just hide one

[exotic harness]

Just kinda stops

[viral terrace]

damn

i love the attention to detail tho

could u tell me what types of wall were used for the background

[exotic harness]

That’s why it stops, time consuming

Uh I believe stone, stone slab, green tile, gray brick

[viral terrace]

thank u

[wooden sigil]

Oh as the well gets deeper down, paint the stone blocks gray/black to make the look more damp. I can’t remember if gray or black paint on the stone bricks is what looks good

[viral terrace]

thats smart ill try it

[wooden sigil]

And put a block between the rope and roof of the well

Makes it look sturdy and real

And functional

[viral terrace]

hows this

ik its floating but

idk

[tropic stone]

echo coating works on furnature, so just use that

wait no u said naturally

ignore me lmao

😭

[wooden sigil]

Yeah that’s better

Hey I want to create a victorian kind of house in my corrution dome, but im not sure how to make it without looking so blocky. I also want to make the island look more detailed like the second one I have here but im not sure what blocks would fit with this kind of coloring

https://imgur.com/UPDCV8o

[mint imp]

You've seen Victorian houses right?
Ebonwood is not the play. Needs a horizontal wood

[gaunt aurora]

What do you mean horizontal

[mint imp]

--->

Instead of

^

[gaunt aurora]

https://imgur.com/ZbNLhDe

Heres some of my other builds

Idk why but victorian seems so hard to make for me

[mint imp]

Are you using reference images?

[gaunt aurora]

Im using one

I dmd you cs i cant send it here

https://imgur.com/a/tDpG7GW

[mint imp]

Well, let's go over some of the traits of a Victorian house.

Asymmetrical
Steep spire roofs in addition to normal triangle roofs.
Windows everywhere
A porch, often fully making up the front.
Tiled roofs
Repeating accent patterns

[gaunt aurora]

Yeah I was thinking like a side roof and a tower roof with a orch but couldent rlly get the outline right

[mint imp]

Also a big focus on wraparound windows. dome windows? Rooms which wrap around and have windows on all sides. very bumpy and circular

it needs a horizontal wood. like normal wood or boreal

You also seem to be hyper focusing on "themed" building blocks and walls

rather than using stuff which matches the look of what you're trying to build

sometimes

And remember, paint exists

[valid wave]

building an arena in pre hm, does anyone have size recommendations before hardmode

[queen belfry]

Hollyyy this looks so good!!!

[wary bridge]

any wall suggestions to make this transition a bit more smooth? from top to bottom its
Pearlstone Wall
Lichen Stone Wall
Ebonstone Wall
Poo Wall
Boulder Wall
Purple Mossy Wall

[fiery roost]

I can't be the only one who sees this post above me and think it's good enough, right? There will be a rough transition between different kinds of walls anyway

[lament briar]

It looks great... It's just really, really dark...

[rugged wedge]

speeqz/mr bones has a guide on gradients, its for 3d builds but i assume it can still help

maybe the link will send here
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HZ8BWj4OWoK5OOytKpJA9MuKWUKQVTxkEQ8FyLiEbJ8/edit?tab=t.0

specifically #4 is the section you should look at it seems

[fiery roost]

Ah, this is great!

Thanks for sharing, I knew coming here would be really helpful because there would be good resources for stuff like this!

[queen belfry]

Edited the image a little so it could all fit cleanly without my layout messing it up, what y'all think?

[rugged wedge]

nice

id say the left bit looks a little bare(?)

[fiery roost]

Damn, the building on the left, with the natural blocks and irregular build, it's so fire! The pylon on the top adds a really nice touch to it.

[rugged wedge]

doesnt look like the left bit could be held up by whats holding it up

[queen belfry]

I'm planning to plant some trees on that side (if you can plant trees in the desert bcuz I honestly forgot)

[rugged wedge]

you can

itll be a palmtree

[queen belfry]

yeah it does look pretty flimsy

I think I'll be putting some hardened sand walls around there

[fiery roost]

This is true though. If there was like a darker wall, thick and all, it could mean the build was cave-like and would not be a bad thing.

One thing that I would change would be the color of the leaves. I would either make them less saturated (I think the regular paints do it, right?) on either teal (to match the water) or a hotter green (to match the cacti).

[queen belfry]

hmm yeah I did think about paint

[rugged wedge]

the tree is from drunk world

i think

[queen belfry]

oh yeah I forgot about the tree

It's the dungeon lol

[queen belfry]

Was thinking about how rich mahogany leaves would maybe fit more instead of the living wood ones on the left though

thank u guys, I'll go try to improve it now

[rugged wedge]

oh, also the foundation of the actual building could be built up a bit maybe?

im bad at desert buids tbh

[queen belfry]

Oh I was going to just put some walls there

Something similar to this on another of my builds

[rugged wedge]

this is like my best desert build, still a wip but i havent worked on it in a while

[queen belfry]

it's so stretched lmao discord's image editing is ass

[fiery roost]

I like it how it currently is, though. Don't forget that there are mushroom eroded rocks that look like they wouldn't stand either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushroom_rock

[queen belfry]

ooh I love the skull

[queen belfry]

I think I'll be putting some hardened sand walls towards the middle

[rugged wedge]

i tried pretty hard with it, though im not too big of a fan of the fact thats its all sturdy fossil now

[queen belfry]

I did think about a "flimsy" feel to it but feels too much

[rugged wedge]

i see the fences and such there

but i would assume they wouldnt be helping much with the stability

[fiery roost]

Sorry about it, it will take long until I get Terrarian to share pictures properly 🤣

Here it just doesn't embed, I get the cute little feces character 💩

[rugged wedge]

[queen belfry]

Oh no I meant my image

it's fine lol

[fiery roost]

Oh, it is stretched indeed, sorry for my lack of attention 🤣

[fiery roost]

I wouldn't mind this 10 minutes ago (I love the nuance of the shiny mineral on bottom right, makes it look like a proper mining site too) but now I'm thinking this is sort of flimsy too 😅

[rugged wedge]

thats fair

[fiery roost]

If you wait 20 more minutes, I might forget about it. I always disregarded it in Terraria anyway, since you are only seeing a part of the thing.

[queen belfry]

Y'all think this looks better?

[fiery roost]

Certainly an improvement. It looks really good, and having a tree next to it makes sense, since there's running water there

[fossil stratus]

Does echo coating work on walls? I have an idea for my witch doctor housing, but it only works with missing walls. Ofc npcs don’t like that

[rugged wedge]

yes, echo coated walls act like the wall isnt there while echo walls act like an invisible wall if that makes sense

[fossil stratus]

Nice

[young bridge]

do note that echo coating a wall will make it as if its never there, so any textures/different appearence when a wall connects will not happen, unless its an echo wall made of echo blocks
especially with fences

[rugged wedge]

left: echo walls (will count for housing)
middle: no walls (will not count for housing)
right: echo coated walls (will count for housing)

[feral patrol]

i Have a massive dug out area but idk what build there

[rugged wedge]

no walls count for housing to a certain extent

[exotic harness]

So for the right one there’s an echo coated wall where the gap is? That’s cool

[rugged wedge]

i mean, technically not, i just didnt place any 🙊

but it would be the same look

now i placed the walls

[rugged wedge]

*with echo sight

[rugged wedge]

like how big

and how deep

[feral patrol]

shiii i cant send pics yet but is big

and fairly deep

[rugged wedge]

imgur

[feral patrol]

huh

[rugged wedge]

you can use imgur for pictures without perms

[feral patrol]

oh okay

its blocked in uk

[rugged wedge]

damn

you can dm me the pic and ill send it here

[feral patrol]

dmed

[rugged wedge]

that is really big

[feral patrol]

yeahhh

[fiery roost]

You could build a mini Terraria world inside of that Terraria world.

[rugged wedge]

maybe a little non functional to an extent. though you could make like planetoids around or biome globes

[fiery roost]

I'm serious. You won't be able to get the ocean/underworld/cavern background on the respective parts, but you could make the thing.

This is a huge space.

[feral patrol]

very

i can do that

[jovial tinsel]

how many tiles? i also build a hole, it's 3400 tiles wide xd

[rugged wedge]

it’s @feral patrol world

[feral patrol]

idk acc know how many tiles

i js dug it out

[lament briar]

Why is it on top?

[jovial tinsel]

any good lantern ideas with dynasty wood? 😔

[opaque gulch]

You should definitely make a picrew for these. I have a feeling that a lot of people would use it for their characters ^-^

never looked at your bio

[feral patrol]

mogged my hole

[spiral galleon]

Grins widely at you

[jovial tinsel]

how do i post imgur pics? xd

[blazing comet]

Upload on imgur
Copy link
Paste here :>

[jovial tinsel]

hm i did, but i didnt showed a preview in discord

[blazing comet]

You need to wait until it's fully uploaded

[jovial tinsel]

i build this lantern, any ways i can improve this? i want to have multiple of them on the ground of my arena

[wooden sigil]

I think it’d look better it it had two lights, one on each side, rather than just one in the middle

Because right now it looks like the light is part of the pole rather than in front of it

[jovial tinsel]

ya i see it now

https://imgur.com/a/EJQOaGX#oW3CbVj

that would be my try for to lights

[slow dew]

i did like the design the first one had, you couldn't fit two lights on the ends here?

[wooden sigil]

This is just a link to Imgur lol

[jovial tinsel]

i think the img still needs to be processed or something, thats why there is now preview yet

[wooden sigil]

Ah ok

[wooden sigil]

Ty

Yeah I think you should go with the first design but with 2 lanterns

[jovial tinsel]

ya the ends where hammered slaps, had to change things around

[jovial tinsel]

but i cant fit lanters there because of hammered slaps 😔

[wooden sigil]

Can you place ropes with the lights under them?

[jovial tinsel]

wait lemme try

[jovial tinsel]

nah, they dont fit on ropes

[wooden sigil]

Rip

Can you just de-hammer 2 blocks?

[jovial tinsel]

i can just put another slap unhammred under it

https://imgur.com/YwGpvYO

would look like this

but i feel like it's hanging to much idk

[wooden sigil]

@jovial tinsel what about changing the block positioning around like this?

Green is the rope

Looks really wide with the drawing but idk how it’d look in practice

[jovial tinsel]

i cant place it on rope

[wooden sigil]

Oop

Anything similar to rope?

[jovial tinsel]

i could echo coat a block and just leave it hanging

[wooden sigil]

Regardless, I think if you shifted the blocks up or down it could work

[jovial tinsel]

maybe add some sparkles to imply the magic lol

[wooden sigil]

So it’d hang less

[exotic harness]

I have this relatively simple design if you need inspo

[wooden sigil]

Like the classic Japanese architect where it turns up

[wooden sigil]

What lamp is that and what’s connecting it?

[exotic harness]

Although the arch is a color design

[wooden sigil]

Oh I really like it btw lol

[exotic harness]

Carriage lantern I believe and it’s just hanging off the platform directly

[exotic harness]

Thanks, I’m fairly certain I stole it from reddit

[wooden sigil]

lol

My main house in my current world is 100% stolen from Reddit. I told myself I was just gonna copy the general shape but ended up copying every block 😭

https://www.reddit.com/r/Terraria/s/1j5GQ8OpTS

[exotic harness]

Best place to learn

[wooden sigil]

Only thing I changed was make most of the basement walls stone brick

[jovial tinsel]

man i have no skymill 😔

[wooden sigil]

And and my crafting setup is more efficient but that’s not really a building thing

[wooden sigil]

Is it cause your world didn’t have one or because you have been to every island yet?

[jovial tinsel]

havent been on an island

[wooden sigil]

Lmao

Do you know the water trick?

[jovial tinsel]

and i cant find my gold keys to look in the chests there

[wooden sigil]

The sky mill can be in the regular unlocked chests

I’m pretty sure

[jovial tinsel]

i m on legendary

[wooden sigil]

Ah

[jovial tinsel]

i need gold keys to unlock sky chests xd

[wooden sigil]

Well they have to be somewhere

Check your void bag and piggy bank

[jovial tinsel]

nah nothing, gotta farm some tomorrow to try the sparke idea ig xd

[jovial tinsel]

i have ice rod and wings, basically infinite flight xd

[wooden sigil]

lol

[gaunt aurora]

Thanks ill try it out!

[exotic harness]

Bridge

[plucky zealot]

should i lessen the frequency of the pillars?

[exotic harness]

Maybe a little? Like get rid one or two

[wooden sigil]

I like it. What are those twisty fences?

[exotic harness]

Ash wood

[wooden sigil]

Gotcha

Oh maybe you can add a couple of beams under it for visual support

This is the dock for my rising hut. Not exactly a bridge tho

[jovial tinsel]

https://imgur.com/wD921ze

added another one, what we thinking?

[barren zephyr]

whats a picrew

[plucky zealot]

the width to height proportion is shit

[wooden sigil]

I think the one of the left minus the slabs on the very ends would look the best

[jovial tinsel]

well, imma need to think over it, since i dont really see the vision of the whole build anymore 😔

maybe doing something completely different

[wooden sigil]

Yeah take a break for a bit

Always helps

[jovial tinsel]

i wanted to build a background for my arena that looks like infinty castle from demon slayer lol

[wooden sigil]

That’d be sick

I wanna make my arena not ugly as well lol

https://youtu.be/jpGaABkNrp4?si=KrHSDu-pZUkqz5JD

Something like this

[lament briar]

If the light structures are that wide, it looks like you should make the entire thing taller.

[jovial tinsel]

the general background idea is just all walls in shadow paint lol
but maybe i do some space themed build with that

[jovial tinsel]

ya, taller is just more anyoing to build rn x)

[wooden sigil]

Let’s take Bikini Bottom and PUSH it somewhere else

[lament briar]

I mean, display purposes, of course... It's understandable.

It looks great overall.

[lament briar]

What?

[plucky zealot]

@rugged wedge incase you were still wondering how i texture stone in a darker way

[wooden sigil]

SpongeBob reference lol

[wooden sigil]

Is this gonna be a greenhouse?

[plucky zealot]

sort of yeah

[wooden sigil]

Cool

[plucky zealot]

was planning to make it more so of a green house but decided to pivot a bit and make it more stoneish

[wooden sigil]

I need to make a potion ingredients farm. It’ll also double as my Dryad house

[lament briar]

Oh. I lost cable just as that show started to air so... Yeah... 😅

[wooden sigil]

Lmao

[plucky zealot]

wanted to do something like this first but then inspiration struck for something else

[opaque gulch]

😅 it's a doll maker thing essentially

[lament briar]

That is the single best, old-timey description I've ever heard of before...

And it makes my description pale in comparison.

[sharp helm]

can I show a build I'm doing to get tips

I don't have perms

I'm genuinely asking

😔

[opaque gulch]

😭

[wooden sigil]

Maybe with the current version you can still add a couple of sky lights on the left and right. Don’t make the entire roof glass but have 1 section on each side

[lament briar]

So if it's not a greenhouse, what are you using it for?

[opaque gulch]

I'm only 25-

[plucky zealot]

was planning that yeah

[wooden sigil]

Nice

[sharp helm]

here i thought dinosaurs were extinct

[barren zephyr]

aeugh

[wooden sigil]

Why doesn’t this sever allow reactions 😭

[lament briar]

I mean, okay in all seriousness... You know about cut-out dolls and paper dress-up?

[barren zephyr]

sounds difficult

[plucky zealot]

well its going to be a purely decorational build in the first place but more so like the dilapidated arboretum from deadcells

[opaque gulch]

Yeah

[barren zephyr]

and its basically my first time mimicking terraria's portraits artstyle

though it would be awesome

[opaque gulch]

Maybe mess around with one to see what it's like

[wooden sigil]

I haven’t played Dead Cells in a long time but I remember that biome

[plucky zealot]

great game for inspiration tbh

[lament briar]

That dates back to the 1920s.

Most teenagers aren't familiar with the dial-up tone for internet lol.

[lament briar]

... So you can still use it for plants lol?

[opaque gulch]

I used to have one of those uh metal dress up dolls that had magnet clothes

[plucky zealot]

still gonna be plant themed yeah

its a jungle build afterall

[lament briar]

Besides Sören, I'm thirty-seven, so I don't think that you're that old.

[opaque gulch]

I've had teens call me "unc" 😭

[lament briar]

A gentleman and a scholar...

But not in that order? 😛

[opaque gulch]

I'm a gentleman but I'm ocassionally an idiot-

[wooden sigil]

That just isn’t true. I’m fairly certain most teenagers know of it

[lament briar]

Would you say this is more forest-themed?

[plucky zealot]

no not really, forests typically dont have extremly overgrown stuff in the way jungles have it

[wooden sigil]

Depends on the type of forest

Unless you’re talking about terraria specifically

[plucky zealot]

well jungle is still a type of forest so yes its forest themed

[lament briar]

Full credit goes to an artist on Reddit. Not mine.

What is everyone's opinion?

[plucky zealot]

looks aight, not the biggest fan of the tree or the bright white floor but overall looks pretty aight

thats enough progress for me today

made something somewhat similar before (sadly no desert background in this ss)

though its a bit old but oh well still pretty decent overall

[lament briar]

More ruin-y?

[plucky zealot]

more kinda like this one i made but more jungle themed(though this one will be alot different)

mostly just making something to practice techniques and try and iterate small ideas i have in mind

[novel knot]

anyone know any blocks that contrast well with iron brick? In pre-hardmode and open to using paint, though I would rather not.

Build is in tundra, kind of at a loss rn

[short yoke]

Stone slab maybe

Idk

[wooden sigil]

That’s cute

[plucky zealot]

in what type of build

[novel knot]

yea, thought of it

industrial type

[novel knot]

think the exact kind of build you would imagine looking at the iron brick texture

(arctic base)

[warm temple]

GRAY BRICK SUPREMACY

RAAAAAAAAA

[plucky zealot]

so basicly a bunker

[short yoke]

Should I add a fish tank on my house

[short yoke]

Or maybe a ball of water in the middle of a build

[plucky zealot]

thats one of my builds lol

where did you find that

[lament briar]

This is nice...

[warm temple]

Foundation below rhe building seems p weak for what it's standing above, ik its a wip btw, looking good, perhaps a little too much ebonstone brick

[short yoke]

Water ball

[lament briar]

This is?!?

[plucky zealot]

yeah lol

[lament briar]

I guess I'm a fan of your work lol...

[warm temple]

Really like the use of gold brick

[short yoke]

Someone make a ball of water like a aquarium in the middle of a build

[warm temple]

I prob haven't made use of gold brick in a single one of my builds in like 10 years

[plucky zealot]

here is an earlier WIP version where the screenshot is all fucked up cuz terraria photomode is very funcitonal

[lament briar]

Ehh... So I have this tendency to save builds.

[plucky zealot]

i mean go for it if you like it :D

[lament briar]

Pictures lol. It could be Reddit.

I've noticed that a lot of images... Get destroyed.

Or lost lol.

[plucky zealot]

its supposed to be that way, i wanted it to look like the ground caved in a bit

[lament briar]

Definitely could have used some of the roots trailing down in the background, snaking through.

[lament briar]

Well Pie, as long as you know I'm not secretly stalking you lol... 😅

[plucky zealot]

https://www.reddit.com/user/TastyPieGuy/submitted/ from this fella probably (my reddit account)

[plucky zealot]

nah its okay, im happy my builds are good enough that people are saving them

[lament briar]

You clearly have talent lol.

[plucky zealot]

ty! took a bit of practice aswel

[lament briar]

My abilities are only to emulate...

I've been tossing around in my head, the idea of a "amusement park ride"...

That goes through the low of Terraria.

But 100%, I'm terrible with wiring lol.

[plucky zealot]

i suck at modern stuff, i like to stick to fantasy themed stuff

[lament briar]

It works. I did work with someone who created Dragon's Keep...

I asked about using it, and he was willing, if I could build it.

Now I have one of Skyrim's capitals holding all of the banners lol.

[warm temple]

I understand, however the foundation makes the build look flimsy, about to come down at any moment, just seems weird that something so tiny is holding up something like that

[lament briar]

I just followed you on Reddit.

[plucky zealot]

Thanks :D I'll post a finished version of the jungle build on there soon

[lament briar]

And maybe the whole point of it is the "undisturbed" beauty of nature.

[plucky zealot]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1259896569117802506/1372746721859342367/Capture_2025-05-16_03_22_36.png?ex=698b31c2&is=6989e042&hm=da651a71d7b31f07e9e060c8232da63999e1f859972a1f15a0fde8085964db0a& kinda like the style of this base that I made

I'll see what I'm going to add to the foundation, I'll figure something out

[hushed hamlet]

really early-game jungle pylon

[warm temple]

Yes, however something that affects the way a build is perceived is the cohesion of all the different parts of it, how it kind of makes sense

And well it looks slightly off if that which the build stands on top of looks like it isn't able to hold the build up

[lament briar]

They're ruins... I mean, we can't set up collision, and very few artists would like to donate their bills to simulate the final destruction.

[mint imp]

I agree, they're ruins. They're meant to look kinda flimsy and rickety

They're literally about to collapse, stepping on the wrong stone could mean you'll break your ankle

[plain steeple]

any chance anyone has some dynasty wood houses i could use as a reference? had a look around and got a couple ideas but would be nice to see that some people have made in here

[lament briar]

What biome are you building it in?

[plain steeple]

possibly just the forest at the moment, im new to building so just want to experiment with styles

[lament briar]

Who do you want to live there?

[plain steeple]

umm... ive not really thought that deep in to it 😭

[lament briar]

Okay, final question.

What are you looking to build?

Like a spa hotel, or just a shrine?

[plain steeple]

i would build a few things next to eachother, i built this a long time ago just on one of my other worlds because i liked the style but wasnt really in to building, so similar kind of thing just on a larger scale

https://imgur.com/a/psAJ0rU

just found another one on a different world too, so you can sort of see the style but just more detailing

https://imgur.com/a/WO8K9K9

i feel its too repetitive

[queen belfry]

I don't have one that's fully dynasty but it does have some shingles

you wanna see it still?

[plain steeple]

sure!

it doesnt have to be fully like that

[plain steeple]

at the end of the day its just a bit of inspiration

ooo thats cool

what are the walls you used as pillars?

[queen belfry]

I like dynasty but mahogany (painted) looks really nice if you were to use it at the tips of where the wood faces

[queen belfry]

just the opposite dynasty wood painted

[plain steeple]

ive not expanded out in to painted blocks yet lmao

[queen belfry]

Its very nice to expand on what you can build with

[plain steeple]

ive seen a lot of people putting it to good use

[queen belfry]

oh yeah my beginning world has my earliest builds

That has some dynasty only I think

Let me get it

[warm temple]

Of course, but the point remains, without a proper foundation the structure above doesn't quite fit all that well with the rest of the building, big, wide walls sitting on a floor supported by thin wooden beams

[queen belfry]

Really basic obviously lol

[slow thorn]

Wish I didn't have to buy dynasty, it's such a good wood type

[queen belfry]

Yeah

Wish there was another way to get it

But I do spend a small fortune everytime it appears so I don't really run out that often

[slow thorn]

I get that it's cheap but it really isn't if you build a lot with it

Also the merchant doesn't always spawn

[lament briar]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Terraria/s/cbSABYm8Ze

[warm temple]

@plucky zealot @lament briar And well, at the end of the day, its but a build, no need to get suuuuper serious about it or anything like that, just food for thought on how to improve the aspect of the building

[slow thorn]

So you could go ages without another buy

[plain steeple]

you say really basic and that first one has more detailing then anything ive ever built

[queen belfry]

it was my first ever house and I upgraded it from time to time a little when I played

last time I built something on it was a long time ago when I consider myself def worse than I am now so that might be why I consider it 'basic'

[short yoke]

Some make water ball

[plain steeple]

im playing journey for the world im on at the minute so i can build on it without having to keep getting more blocks

[short yoke]

I make big water ball

[slow thorn]

Goat icl

Journey is not for the weak

[plain steeple]

not for the weak?

i kinda thought it was ahah

[lament briar]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Terraria/s/YdCEAIBeWt

[lament briar]

Understood lol.

[lament briar]

Just a little bit here and there.

[slow thorn]

Nah nah cause journey can get boring if you have complete control over every part of the game

[unborn sorrel]

https://imgur.com/a/GblTNzW

i finshed my honey house thingie

[plain steeple]

thats really cool but i think i can identify about 2 of the blocks used 💔

[fiery roost]

Embrace Journey mode

It's beautiful

Unlimited blocks

Maximum pleasure

[plain steeple]

i only use it to get the blocks and then turn off mobs when building

[queen belfry]

never played journey because I lwk thought it was just easier than classic LOL

Im doing a journey playthrough soon though

[plain steeple]

you can change difficulty

im playing master mode on journey

[queen belfry]

Woah that looks really nice!

[lament briar]

Which part do you like?

[queen belfry]

I know how it works now

[fiery roost]

I started playing Journey this week, but it was because the project I'm working on doesn't care about progression.

[queen belfry]

I just never tried it even after knowing what it was for some reason

[lament briar]

And Journey still has its own challenges.

[plain steeple]

the roof design looks really cool

[lament briar]

I've been trying to hunt down the gold critters lol.

[unborn sorrel]

thankyou

[lament briar]

So the roof may be the same dynasty single block...

[plain steeple]

yeah thats one of the blocks i knew

[queen belfry]

I love themed housing, I should do some soon tbh

[short yoke]

Water ball

[plain steeple]

when do you get to send images in here normally? i keep needing to turn on a VPN to upload to imgur as its blocked in the UK

[lament briar]

You see the gap? It's hammered to where the block is half.

[plain steeple]

whats the wall behind it?

[lament briar]

Rich mahogany, I believe.

Painted brown.

The shingles are obviously painted green.

The stone could either be demonite or sandstone painted gray...

[short yoke]

Terrariasts

[slow thorn]

Yes?

[short yoke]

[rugged wedge]

[rugged wedge]

did you just kinda place until it felt right? or is there like an actual method to good mixing (i know i asked this before p much)

[plucky zealot]

Mostly just off feeling tbh

[rugged wedge]

and getting the feeling is just spending time doing it i assume

[plucky zealot]

There are some criteria that a block needs to have for me to add in into the mix, in this case it was a brick like texture, dark Gray and worn look

[rugged wedge]

that makes sense

[plucky zealot]

Then just look through the blocks and see what looks best when painted gray

[rugged wedge]

i have easy access to gray painted blocks

no walls yet

i may want to do that

[plucky zealot]

I just pick bricks at random and paint them

[potent stratus]

https://imgur.com/a/oXi6ecJ

[plucky zealot]

Ngl that looks like literally every wizard tower on the internet

[potent stratus]

anyone know how the pillar wall is doable with the loose looking bricks?

[potent stratus]

cause it is, its my reference

[plucky zealot]

Ah

Use palladium columns

[potent stratus]

im not in hardmode

[short yoke]

Water ball aquarium in the middle of a build

Housing and decor on the sides

Nothing on top of ball

[rugged wedge]

i have a more brick focused display too

[plucky zealot]

Well that's too bad then

[exotic harness]

I fear your free time

[potent stratus]

oh well its not that important

[rugged wedge]

i have so much free time

and i hate it

[short yoke]

Build the ball

[plucky zealot]

Well at least learning how to build is a good way to spend it

[potent stratus]

what brick is that on fourth row third over from the left

[rugged wedge]

?

[rugged wedge]

^^

if so then its sandstone brick

[potent stratus]

sorry fifth row

[short yoke]

The ball needs to be built

[potent stratus]

by the copper looking blocks

[rugged wedge]

?

[exotic harness]

This one? Toybreaker

[potent stratus]

yes whats on the left of that

[rugged wedge]

tin bricks

[exotic harness]

We’re idiots who can’t count

[potent stratus]

oooooh

[short yoke]

THE BALL

[potent stratus]

how you get these actually?

[exotic harness]

Cyborg

[rugged wedge]

am i supposed to build "the ball"?

[exotic harness]

A new hand touches the beacon

[rugged wedge]

its new in 1.4.5

[short yoke]

THE BALL ACCEPTS ANYONE

[rugged wedge]

i guess building a ball to practice shading could be nice

[proper berry]

☕️

[potent stratus]

i dont see the block

[rugged wedge]

but i also dont have much interest in 3d builds

[short yoke]

it need to be an aquarium ball

Not 3d

Wiki says it always sells it so I dunno

[short yoke]

Yea

He chopped

[potent stratus]

it is a world pre 1.4.5 so maybe kill him?

[rugged wedge]

youre in prehardmode?

[short yoke]

That’s why he gets shimmered

[potent stratus]

my character is the world isnt

[exotic harness]

So mean, but I hadn’t considered homicide so maybe I’m th fool

[proper berry]

Very stinky 👎

[short yoke]

2d aquarium ball

[potent stratus]

i might have to slime him out ngl

[short yoke]

Yes

[rugged wedge]

seems quite simple

[exotic harness]

Let me know how murder works

[short yoke]

Scrap him

[potent stratus]

does lava destroy furniture or just platforms

[rugged wedge]

depends on what stuff

[exotic harness]

Just make a flymeal with a stinkbug

[rugged wedge]

like obsidian furniture no

[potent stratus]

thats too hard man

[rugged wedge]

but like most furniture get s broken

[potent stratus]

its ice furniture

[exotic harness]

I keep one on hand….for no reason

[exotic harness]

Just dig him in a hole then burn him

[potent stratus]

its not that simple hes in my build on the third floor

yk what idc i dont play this world anyways

there goes all my furniture

[rugged wedge]

stone furniture does breaks on lava?

or is it just not updated

[short yoke]

I shall show example of le ball soon

[potent stratus]

does the cyborg have lava defense bro is taking 1 damage

[rugged wedge]

it does

hmm strange

[azure falcon]

finslly managed to get a decent screenshot of my tundra house

[potent stratus]

cyborg is almost dead

finally

ofc hes barely dying his name is sigma

ofc he doesn’t sell the block

[exotic harness]

I like the water wheel

[mint imp]

I think youve said this before, how else would you expect a wizard tower to look?
Its a very specific narrow theme. theres only so many ways to make a wizard tower

[mint imp]

oooo that wheel is sick, very cool build

[mint imp]

Its gonna use purple and blue bricky roofing, gray slabby walls. straight shaft, with maybe one side room.

[azure falcon]

thank you, took me too long to figure out the shape of a circle

[mint imp]

and in terms of side rooms, theres only one real option (the bridge and micro tower)

its always gonna have a spiral staircase, alot of them are gonna have portals or telescopes or both.

its like saying someones scrambled eggs look like every other scrambled eggs on the internet. yeah, that just means they did it right

[rugged wedge]

even the fringe cases like twisty towers still fit the same thing but just more unique of a shape

furthest is like the host tower of the arcane from dnd/faerun but its just a tree that wizards happen to inhabit really, not a wizard tower

[mint imp]

Even the most unique wizard towers are gonna look super similar to every other wizard tower yeah.
Like my wizard tower has a pretty unique look. but. ultimately. It still looks like "just" a wizard tower

for ref

Like, even with the unique elements, its still slathered in wizard tower tropes because... you kinda build a wizard tower for the tropes

[rugged wedge]

truth

[mint imp]

like if you arent building a wizard tower with a blue-purple roof, and slabby bricky walls. a big portal magic room and a telescope, why are you even building a wizard tower at all?

[rugged wedge]

type

[short yoke]

I can’t build a circle that well

[rugged wedge]

damn

[mint imp]

are you using circle reference tools?

[rugged wedge]

therescircle generators out there

mostly for minecraft but same thing

same thing happened for me

[mint imp]

I use uh. plotz.co.uk for my circles.

[rugged wedge]

are there more textures you wish would connect

like bars would be nice (ive sent this like 30 times) but any more?

[mint imp]

not super particularly tbh. I think i was more unhhappy with it in 1.3

but, nowadays im pretty happy with what connects and what doesnt

[rugged wedge]

fair

accent coating please

would make builds really nice

accent coated stone accent slab

[mint imp]

accent coating?

[rugged wedge]

just some way to make something act like an accent slab

[mint imp]

ah i see

Yeah, blend everything and gives us tools to unblend things

that'd be sick

[rugged wedge]

most things blend already

except like balloons and accent slabs

[mint imp]

yeah but hyper consistency, with the tools to undo it. is peak

[rugged wedge]

if we got more coating it would just be awesome

[mint imp]

ye ye

[rugged wedge]

more possible colors

[mint imp]

god. did you ever play starbound?
That game had a great building system tbh

[rugged wedge]

i have not :(

[mint imp]

its just a shame it had no interesting blocks and no brown paint

its paint tool is built into your primary omnitool

so you can just switch your pickaxe into paint mode and paint stuff. whenever

it was so peak...

except for the lack of brown paint, of course

meaning wooden builds were just. nonstarters. unless you monowooded it

[shell violet]

Negative coating plz

[rugged wedge]

real

or just paint stacking

[rugged wedge]

speaking of paint tools, what does luiafk offer for building again?

[mint imp]

please no paint stackin, paint is already complex enough, i dont need metaphorically infinite combinations of paint while im experimenting...

[rugged wedge]

i wanna make a post with all the changes that would save builders

i mean, im pretty much already done, just need to know what else i could add

[mint imp]

It adds
a super paint tool
An actuation rod that actuates the blocks outright
A hammer tool that can be use to hammer a bunch of blocks in the same orientation
Highlight and fill lava, water, and honey
Highlight and fill walls
and a tool which combines these all into one

da combo rod,,,,

[mint imp]

oh and an infinite wire grand design

[rugged wedge]

3, 4, and 5 are very minimal tbf

[mint imp]

What we really need is a vanilla focused building mod.

[rugged wedge]

theres probably quite a few stand alone mods

[mint imp]

something that adds combo rod shenagins, without the bulk of the rest of luiafk. As well as stuff like accent coatings.

[rugged wedge]

but thats probably a bunch of unneeded mods

[mint imp]

omnipainter adds a painting tool thats like. similar to luiafks.
But like... all in one.

[rugged wedge]

yeah

and hammer mode makes hammering in mass better

im a big fan

[mint imp]

god. i forgot how much i miss the improved actuation rod.

[rugged wedge]

you can kinda do that in vanilla

[mint imp]

Being able to actuate blocks without an actuator on it...

[rugged wedge]

just like have presserator on all the time

so everything has actuators

but also not the same

[mint imp]

that sounds awful. And still uses up the inventory space

which is important for building

[rugged wedge]

i think it works in void bag

but also

then void bag takes that spot

also luiafk has a config, you can probably turn off a lot of bloat you dont want

[mint imp]

I dont think luaifk is even maintained anymore.

[near mango]

Just my own comments;

• Last time someone suggested a paint tool like The Grand Design it was met with being a "Terraria 2 idea"
• The colour depth stuff I don't quite see being realistic for a vanilla addition, but an accent coating in particular would be a nice simple way to deal with any & all "merging" complaints people could have

[fiery roost]

Paint tool like The Grand Design would be genius, though!

[near mango]

well yea

[mint imp]

the big thing is terraria devs hate building so they wont give it to us.

[rugged wedge]

with color depth, it is just a suggestion so it doesnt have to be implemented but i 100% see where youre coming from (i just want dark gray and brown paint)

[near mango]

but i am just pointing out last time it was denied with being a terraria 2 idea

[near mango]

Absolutely not lol

They do not hate builders

[fiery roost]

If they hated building, they wouldn't give us so many cool new blocks and furniture sets.

[rugged wedge]

and i dont see how improving painting is a terraria 2 idea

[mint imp]

Yet, paint is still pulling teeth in vanilla

[rugged wedge]

to each their own i guess

[mint imp]

And we know its not a technical limitation, its not like the engine simply cant handle it.

because a myriad of mods do it.

[rugged wedge]

ive heard that adding more grand design type items is a pain with the spaghetti code

[near mango]

I don't know why it was met that way either but that is the extent of my memory last time someone suggested it (iirc on Twitter?)

[mint imp]

Luiafk managed it and the paint tool wasnt even the main point of the mod.
Its basically a filler item for the combo rod.

and it'd open up accessibility so so much for newer builders

who just... wont interact with paint

because its awful and terrible

[rugged wedge]

^^

found it

[fiery roost]

It's funny because the current project I'm working on, which is pretty much just placing blocks coated with illuminant or echo coating, shadow paint or nothing, means the default hotbar in the game is not enough for me, and needs more space.

[rugged wedge]

i always put my paint in the slots right below the hotbar

quick access to swapping

[fiery roost]

Good thing I took my time to learn and wire the teleporters so I can move around quickly and the Shellphone is almost useless.

[rugged wedge]

then i accidentally move the paint and it gets lost in my constant mess of an inventory 😭

[mint imp]

hell. even just... being able to combine all 3 paint tools into one, and right clicking to swap between them

would free up hotbar space

[rugged wedge]

yeesh

just a load of bs in my inventory

[fiery roost]

My biggest issue with it is that I am not yet used to changing the order, so I always end up placing a shadow painted platform when I want to just place something with illuminant coat.

I think with time I'll get used to it, though. It's just a question of me being used to it.

[rugged wedge]

2 whole strange plants, lawnmower, wet bombs AND inf water bucket

[mint imp]

anyhow, my point is. If like 4 different mods have figured out ways to do paint tools, all seperately and with their own UIs, I cant imagine its that difficult to give us one for paint. Especially with shimmer and post moonlord giving us great places to put it, progression wise

[fiery roost]

My current hotbar (I will fail the image, I will wait for me to get Terrarian) is:
Pickaxe, Hamaxe, Block to place, Wall to place, Painting tool 1, Painting tool 2, Painting tool 3, Rod of Discord, current coat (so I can check quickly which one is on), The Grand Design.

I would want more slots on the hotbar. Or something to indicate which paint/coating I would place at the moment.

[mint imp]

the luminite painter. acts as all 3 paint tools.
Shimmer to create a grand design like paint tool, with an interface to swap between active paints

but no, we still need 3 seperate tools to paint stuff. like we're still in 1.2.0

[rugged wedge]

and spectre paint brush and scraper look so similar

i mix them up so much

[rugged wedge]

thats why i have the regular paint scraper here

[fiery roost]

I have memorized them by the button. 5 takes off paint, 6 paints walls, 7 paints blocks. I don't even look at the icons 🤣

[rugged wedge]

i almost always build out of my inventory

which is why its always a mess

[fiery roost]

Now that I think about it, I have less trouble with hotkeys on Adobe Illustrator than in Terraria.

[rugged wedge]

i dont use the hotbar much when building

def a bad habit

[fiery roost]

I'm trying to stop to build out of my inventory, but the thing I'm currently working on requires just 1 kind of block (and maybe 1 kind of platform, soon).

[mint imp]

oh im pink now

[fiery roost]

Indeed you are!

What does that mean? Also, what does the Stardust role mean too?

[rugged wedge]

that was some event like forever ago i believe

[mint imp]

stardust role is just like. a faction thing i think

[rugged wedge]

i dont think its been useful for a long time

just kinda a pointless role people have now

[mint imp]

legendary terrarian is a shop role, which you get for prize points for participating in events

[fiery roost]

Weird I recently joined the server and got it, and I see lots of people are Solar.

I thought it could be related to platform too, but I'm too lazy to investigate it

[rugged wedge]

you dont get to choose, if you could id choose stardust

[mint imp]

the events I took part in where specifically the building activities OwO

Controversially, I also reused the same build for multiple events, if it fit the theme and rules. I think they closed that out of the rules lol

[rugged wedge]

i think so

it says no old builds

at least on this current event

[mint imp]

yup

80% sure thats there because of me

UwU

[fiery roost]

Oh, I wouldn't see those, at this point I'm honestly thinking about just keeping #terraria-pc and #terraria-creations unhidden

Going to the general channel was a mistake

[rugged wedge]

updated this for more cohesion and other ideas

[mint imp]

activities are worth keeping unhidden if you want some of the more unique roles

and they're just

fun to participate in sometimes

[rugged wedge]

i really only go in thelp and here

[fiery roost]

I might check it out some time but I'm good with whatever yellow role I can put my hands on 🤣

[mint imp]

Yeah, I'd like a yellow role too

[fiery roost]

Desert is up for grabs!

[mint imp]

but the prize yellow role, the best one, is stupid expensive

thats orange bruh

[fiery roost]

Questionable, I would take Dark Yellow as an answer easily.
