[young bridge]

As for the top, a custom tree using the living mahogany wood/leaf wand(s) could do wonders

[teal sage]

Which?

[desert raft]

al of them :O

[teal sage]

Thx

[rugged wedge]

im making chains to connect some planetoids and i have this diagonal one that im really not happy wit

anyone have better ideas for it

[desert raft]

NICE

chains are harddd i tried doing that once ages ago

also heres the rough rough outline of my spawn castle

https://imgur.com/a/W1c30el

[rugged wedge]

i kinda have a decent template down for like straight chains

[desert raft]

ooohhh thats good

[rugged wedge]

this was def harder to get down but im not too mad with the result

sorry for night time ss

[desert raft]

guys which npc would you use as a groundskeeper for a graveyard

im feeling shimmer guide..

[rugged wedge]

tax collector bc hes miserable

[dusk night]

the problem is your link is going through the middle, instead of connecting at the end. also the links connecting to the island are really thin at the connection point on the middle link

[rugged wedge]

or totally opposite, santa

[desert raft]

tax collectors going in the cultist fort

[rugged wedge]

i feel like this looks a little bit better

probably gonna make the sideways link 1 wider tho

[hexed osprey]

Hmmm

[dusk night]

feels odd that the middle link gets thicker and I agree the other should be thicker

[rugged wedge]

the main issue with that is theres no good way to show that one link is going through the other any other way

this helped a bit

adding walls helped a lot

[next fiber]

That looks way better

[next fiber]

You should try using some of the metal plating blocks painted gray, copper plating makes a good chain if you want a metallic look

[rugged wedge]

i would but i chose slabs bc of the accent slabs so they can look seperate

[next fiber]

Oh yeah

Makes me really wish we just had some type of accent coating that could make any section of blocks swperate

[balmy vault]

Is there any way modded or otherwise to make valid housing without walls ?

[rugged wedge]

dont we all

[balmy vault]

Echo walls work somewhat but they bind to other walls too much

[rugged wedge]

echo coated walls work differently from echo walls

[balmy vault]

Nice , thanks

[rugged wedge]

the state of the game has some really cool building teasers, maybe they have that planned

like they showed tile cropping and floating furniture in a state of the game

[balmy vault]

You should be able to make half tiles on the upper half of a block

Or a less rigid slope

[rugged wedge]

yeah

we kinda have upper half blocks with platforms but those act like accent blocks like that

[alpine burrow]

billions of player collisions must die

[balmy vault]

Just seems weird to me that you can do the bottom half but not the top

Maybe it would have weird collision but it would look cool

And if it's on the roof wouldn't be touched much

[alpine burrow]

you would have to see if relogic would want to use it in actual world creation, because can you imagine going through the antlion nest with those

[dry zenith]

shit i didn't get a ping for this but would mud brick work for the roof because i love the natural colour of the jungle

oh yeah a custom tree would be awesome and it would get me to get better at building trees as a whole

[blazing sentinel]

That’s definitely better yeah

[rugged wedge]

hi arch

[dusk night]

Playing around and found actuating helps, then just messing with texture as I didn't care for the brick lines (don't need accent stone as they aren't touching).

[alpine burrow]

dude oh my god that is DELICIOUS

[balmy vault]

Any suggestions for wall texturing ? Wholly unfinished but i can't really think of any walls

[rugged wedge]

heres my build at night, when its day ill take another pic of it

[rugged wedge]

i was finishing up some loose bits when you sent this so i dont really have much room to change the chains too much unless i change the whole thing :(

top right chain is meh but im kinda done building this for now so its whatever

i did fix the few chains connected to the nails and them being the wrong kind of slab

alright, heres it in day time so you can actually see

[queen belfry]

Looks sick as hell

[sand kindle]

I want to build this tower, but I'm not sure what materials to use. I could just use stone or boulder bricks and paint them yellow, but I don't want it to be mono block, either.

Sandstone would be another obvious one. What other bricks could give me the desired texture?

[rugged wedge]

sadly, i doubt you could get the dusty yellow look bc terraria doesnt have much in that regard

[sand kindle]

Fair.

[rugged wedge]

maybe some block negative painted could get it but idk

[alpine burrow]

the yellowish tint might go well with sandstone slabs?

[sand kindle]

I'll give Sandstone slabs a try. I'm more concerned with texture than colour.

[rugged wedge]

id say like mudstone bricks or crimstone brick

this is the color youd need for that negative but there is like no way theres a block this color

like maybe jellyfish but thats no where near texture-wise

[sand kindle]

Now we're cookin'! Combine that with Obsidian brick and it'll give the appearence of weathering. I don't recall how to make negative paints, but I suppose it's something to investigate...

[rugged wedge]

green or blue (dungeon) brick could also proved you with that texture as well

maybe platinum ore actually!

meh, not quite it

[wooden sigil]

Try painting green brick yellow or brown

[sand kindle]

Eh, Dungeon brick could be useful either way =3.

[wooden sigil]

You can add in the cracked variety too

[rugged wedge]

i think the best youll get is mudstone brick, crimstone brick, and blue/green bricks

[wooden sigil]

It’s annoying because green brick slab WALLS are the perfect texture lol

[shell violet]

I did not cook

[shell violet]

you lil sheit

Tryna make spawn spots for ooa portals but I ain’t cookin

@rugged wedge fixed it

[next fiber]

Closest you can get to the color is using normal gray paint on stoke variants, and then using a solar monolith to run everything slightly more yellow/orange, and then taking a snapshot of just the building without the biome background

[sand kindle]

W.I.P. I'll likely make the tower sections taller tomorrow. I plan on adding a garden underneath the arch, a spiral staircase to the sides and a big stained glass window in the middle. The tower section itself will be a dedicated crafting area.

[dire mountain]

Maybe yellow stucco could work?

[sand kindle]

I think the texutures are fine, I'm just iffy about the colour. I may just change it to grey.

[shell violet]

question why yellow

[sand kindle]

Because the reference image is a sandy yellow.

This is what the design is based off.

I don't like the yellow, honestly, so I'll just make it simpler and repaint it grey.

[shell violet]

Hmmm k you want a paler sand look then

The yellow paint is really bright on most things, and you want closer to pastel i imagine

[sand kindle]

Aye

[still obsidian]

Yup u could use some other type of sand

[sand kindle]

I used deep yellow 'cause the regular yellow doesn't show up at all. But l;ike I said, I think it looks ugly.

[still obsidian]

U could try orange paint

the normal one

[shell violet]

Those blocks just don’t take paint well

[blazing sentinel]

i personally wouldn't use deep painted blocks for that, id keep id keep it to naturally yellow blocks for that

[still obsidian]

what normal paints does is to just coat the block not to actually paint it

[shell violet]

Stone generally takes a very small amount of paint, same w dungeon

[still obsidian]

which is good for building palettes

[shell violet]

That’s because of those particular blocks

[dire mountain]

I already suggested Yellow Stucco

[still obsidian]

Right just gotta know what blocks to use

[sand kindle]

Yeah, but I don't want to replace the texture.

[dire mountain]

If only a custom eyedropper paint existed

[still obsidian]

Heh

U gotta BE the eye dropper which is hard damn

Builder update when frfr

[dire mountain]

Also, I finished the Cactus house I posted the skeleton of a while ago

[still obsidian]

Cool

U did the flower thing on the top

[shell violet]

I am not finding the blocks well

Everything I can come up with is too green

[teal panther]

Hello, im trying to get better at building. Id like to send someone some pictures of a build im currently working on and maybe get some tips? if your down dm me!

[shell violet]

Use imgur or Reddit to post trust

[ancient void]

Thats a unique house man

But still looks a little plain, could use a little more color or texture

[hexed osprey]

https://imgur.com/a/sCq4JVi

Currently working on my bass. I have it. Ready to furnish now. Still tryna get some stuff to make it perfect tho

[dire mountain]

Got any suggestions on what I could add?

[ancient void]

Like for the stairs you could use a darker wall behind the platforms

That could add some depth to the build

[peak fjord]

The Graveyard I built near the dungeon autumn tree:

Do you guys have any tips on how to improve this building?

[fringe locust]

the absolutely unimaginable amount of grind i had to do for the toolbox is insane

just click on my discord profile to see

[hexed osprey]

Looks cozy

[halcyon jolt]

That was the goal

[halcyon jolt]

Add a horizontal line of brown painted ash wood wall to make a horizontal support along the fence at the bottom

Also maybe try brown painted large bamboo wall on either side of each pillar along the wall too

[worthy laurel]

should I make the workbench overgrown as well or nah

[lethal pond]

What do you guys think of this build?
https://imgur.com/gBCbqIG

It's adored in many monster banners to act like a "seal" that will ward off "evil spirits".

[manic violet]

pretty cool, rooves need a little work though

[lethal pond]

I think around the table legs would do, I also like the fact that the Guide lives in a jar lol

[lethal pond]

Yeah it does seem a bit bland. Same can be said for the foundations below, it's just one texture.
Still happy with it regardless. 😄

[manic violet]

how does one post here anyway

[alpine burrow]

A lil bit maybe make it spread from the tree

[lethal pond]

[forest mural]

So I'm making a tower in the sea, and i want to keep the water inside it to mantain the theme. is there some kind of AOE monolith that grants water breathing?

[timber smelt]

slick

[lethal pond]

I don't think so.
But as far as I know, there are accessories that allow water breathing.
One of those accessories is the "Neptune's Shell", obtained from "Creature of the Deep" that appears during a Solar Eclipse.

[lethal pond]

💛

[forest mural]

yeah, i figured. With 1.4.5 i became a little unsure

[lethal pond]

Ah ok

Checking the update, pretty much all monoliths are cosmetic.

An alternative if you're not remotely close to unlocking the Solar Eclipse event (Defeating ||Golem||).
You can throw chum buckets in the ocean to increase Shark spawn rates & have a 5% chance of getting a "Diving Helmet" for every shark kill.
You'd still have to defeat ||Wall of Flesh|| though.

[forest mural]

ok ty

i'm currently just messing around in journey trying to get the achievement lol

[lethal pond]

Forgot to mention, Diving Helm only increases underwater breathing time not to infinity.

[lethal pond]

I see

i'm just gonna usegills potions, as i'm barely post evil boss

anyone know how i can make that slope above the door better it just looks off at the moment

[silk crystal]

Ty

[wooden sigil]

Np

[wooden sigil]

Reminds me of my greenhouse

@silk crystal I think you should actuate the pillars

[dry zenith]

okay i can't decide how to do a roof because i was looking at a few reference pictures but they werwe all a lot bigger than what i am building in game

[silk crystal]

What does that do again

[short yoke]

Do a tilted one way roof

[silk crystal]

Make them disappear and appear ??

[wooden sigil]

Turns them into background blocks and look a bit darker

It’d give the build more depth

[silk crystal]

Hmmm

[silk crystal]

IL try it iab

[wooden sigil]

And by pillars I mean these

[silk crystal]

Good idea nfl

[short yoke]

Like uhh

[wooden sigil]

What’s nfl mean?

[silk crystal]

Ngl

[short yoke]

🫤

[silk crystal]

Missclick

Means not gonna lie

[wooden sigil]

Lol

[short yoke]

Slanted roof

[silk crystal]

I wanted the beams to be 2 wide but I messed up the build 😭😭

[dry zenith]

which direction should the slant go do you think

[short yoke]

Like the mouth on the emoji

That way

[wooden sigil]

They look fine right now. But trust they’ll look way better when actuated

[short yoke]

And u can use it for a part on a golf course too

[silk crystal]

Ima do it iab

I needa learn how to style builds more lol

[dry zenith]

oh lol i was wondering why you sent that emoji

[short yoke]

Yea

I couldn’t find anything else

[dry zenith]

fair

[wooden sigil]

Okay this but imagine the proportions aren’t shit. (Grey rectangle is a background support beam)

[dry zenith]

holy shit you are in my head i just took down what i had because i can go a bit bigger and i ws going to make something like what you drew lmao

[wooden sigil]

Nice 😎

[dry zenith]

because i can go up to the torch

[wooden sigil]

Should be big enough

Let me get on my pc so I can show you what a friend built once

[dry zenith]

past that is a surface volcano farm thing

[dusk oyster]

does anyone have advice on building mirrors?

[dry zenith]

the house is going to be for the merchant only as i am going to build a house for the zoologist and golfer on the other side of the hellavator

[wooden sigil]

Maybe the tax collector can go with the merchant

When you get him

[dry zenith]

completely unrelated but your profile makes me think of the "haannnnkkk don't abbreviate cyberpunk" meme lmao

[wooden sigil]

I definitely don’t but check out Khaios on YouTube. He’s made tons of guides, tutorials, and showcases over the years. Maybe he’s done a mirror or two

[dry zenith]

i usually put him with the clothier underground/hell

[wooden sigil]

What did the clothier do to deserve that 😭

[dry zenith]

he likes the tax collector from memory, or if you mean in hell its because i like building castles with lava incorporated into it

oooh speaking of hell i didn't know there is a hell pylon now thats handy

[wooden sigil]

Yeah. Also an Aether pylon now. You get it by shimmering any pylon.

[dry zenith]

yeah i saw the aether one

[wooden sigil]

@dry zenith

Something my friend made once. It's a fun, unique shape.

[dry zenith]

what the hell, i love it lmao

[desert raft]

https://imgur.com/a/6yfajMd does this look good with the diamond gemspark walls behind the details lighting it up or no

[prisma meadow]

i think so

how is the build going fighter?

[dry zenith]

i got distracted by chillet and was testing the pierce cap of the dash lmao

[prisma meadow]

palworld is such great game

[dry zenith]

i have played it a little bit but i am not the best at those types of survival games so i bookmarked it for later

that was now a couple of years ago

i might get back into it actually since it scratches my pokemon itch and seeing as though i won't be able to play gen 10 i might as well get back into it

[dry zenith]

what should i make the support beam out of, actuated, fences, beams or another thing

[wooden sigil]

Let me see the build so far

[dry zenith]

the beam is going to go where that stone pillar is or around that area

[wooden sigil]

I'd have to see what the rest of the build looks like first. Get the main shape down with actual blocks first

like foreground blocks

[dry zenith]

okay can do provied i don't get distracted by anything else

[wooden sigil]

lol real

[dry zenith]

actually i am going to make the top of the wellavator first because i have been putting it off for so long when its really easy

[wooden sigil]

kk

[prisma meadow]

i think he got distracted by something

[fair kelp]

still cant send a ss TwT

[prisma meadow]

it seems you don't have terrarian role

[fair kelp]

someone said I had to be level 1

I talked a lot the other night and still dont have it, but donno how to check level

[prisma meadow]

i don't think there is any levels

you just need to type alot and you get the role

[fair kelp]

uhm

how long does that usually take

[prisma meadow]

if i renember right it's about 200 texts*

[fair kelp]

ohh okay

im at 162

cant wait to share my house I built :)

it's the first not box house I made

[prisma meadow]

box houses is way to go

as first houses

[fair kelp]

I turned mine into cupcakes

[prisma meadow]

i have this type of towers as first houses per biome

[fair kelp]

ohh pretty

[prisma meadow]

'started journey mode world today

gotta get materials for bigger builds

[fair kelp]

im playing 2 worlds

[prisma meadow]

2 world?

one crimson and one corruption?

[fair kelp]

yea

one's vanilla

the one i started lastnight is modded

it's really just thorium, remnants and some QOL tho

[prisma meadow]

you should try calamity mod

it's really good

[fair kelp]

I did, it was too much

i have like 250 hours on the game total but its all been casual

never beaten the game before

[prisma meadow]

i have little bit more hours

just add one 0 to your playtime

[fair kelp]

I wanna beat the base game first, but I needed a break from my other world

ohh

[dire mountain]

Making a good looking spiral was surprisingly difficult, I'm planning on working it into a build but I'm not sure which looks better

[fair kelp]

thats really cool!

[prisma meadow]

spirals with outline looks really good

[fair kelp]

agreed

[dire mountain]

The outer two have Emerald Gemspark walls behind them and the inner two have Living Leaf walls behind them

[fair kelp]

darker outline is better

I'm a minecraft builder so the terraria 2d building is new to me. It's a confusing medium but i'm doing my best

[dry zenith]

what do you think i will say i did copy the roof from some build on Pinterest but only the shape even that i altered slightly

[prisma meadow]

i think it looks great

[dry zenith]

thanks

okay time to build the actual house now

[prisma meadow]

are you gonna build the outline?

[dry zenith]

outline of what? the house? yeah

[wooden sigil]

I like it. But replace the very top rope with a block, so it looks attached

[dry zenith]

with a shingle?

or some other block

[wooden sigil]

One sec trying to find my example

[fair kelp]

If you use wood it might look like a rope coil around a post

[prisma meadow]

iron brick would looks great there

[wooden sigil]

@dry zenith

Ignore the wack ass clinic to the right

This is from awhile ago lol

[dry zenith]

nah all good

but the issue is it won't connect to the shingles

[wooden sigil]

Replace the one platform between the ropes with a block

[dry zenith]

what about that

ignore my inventory lmao

i have been at this for a while trying to make it look just right

[wooden sigil]

Can you not replace just this?

@dry zenith Oh you also accidentally painted a chain brown btw

lol

[dry zenith]

shit

[fair kelp]

Yeah but this way, the platforms look like theyre supporting the middle post

[wooden sigil]

Yeah like that. But try an iron ingot or something

[dry zenith]

iron ingot? i mean okay

can't

[wooden sigil]

lead?

[dry zenith]

like the actual bars?

[wooden sigil]

yeah

[dry zenith]

nah you can't place them on rope

[wooden sigil]

do iron brick then

[prisma meadow]

iron brick would fit

[dry zenith]

what colour?

[prisma meadow]

non painted

[dry zenith]

also i may have tried to make them with iron bars instead of iron ore but we don't talk about that

[prisma meadow]

wrong chat for that

[prisma meadow]

: ^)

looks good

[dry zenith]

i am going to be completely honest while i agree that it does look good there is like a 95% chance i am not even going to notice it after i am done with the build

[wooden sigil]

💜

[balmy vault]

What is this block ? I completely forgot

[prisma meadow]

dynasty wood

[dry zenith]

yeah

[balmy vault]

Oh yeah

I kept thinking mahogany

[wooden sigil]

@dry zenith Oh also maybe swap the position of these

but only if you want obviously

[dry zenith]

i will see what it looks like

[wooden sigil]

Because the beams appear more in teh foreground and are thicker. So, I think it makes sounce for the to be on the outside

[wooden sigil]

Did you swap to boreal beams?

[prisma meadow]

it allways has been

[dry zenith]

it always was

ah wait paint thats right

they were brown painted

or are

[sand kindle]

I'm making an undersea base with a lost city vibe. I can always paint something yellow, but I want a different texture to pair with the forbidden blocks. Any suggestions?

[dry zenith]

tadaahhhh

[prisma meadow]

long house

[dire mountain]

Ancient gold bricks might work

[prisma meadow]

i think messier foundation would looks great

[sand kindle]

Which looks better? Ancient Gold Brick or Copper Plate (painted yellow)?

[young bridge]

Ancient gold brick

Although try mixing the regular one alongside it

[sand kindle]

Good shout 🙂

[alpine burrow]

Aagghh I would've said copper plating

[dire mountain]

Copper plating has a better contrast, it'll need some walls behind it to block the small air gaps

[dire mountain]

The ones with gemspark walls don't look as good at night when they have illuminant coating on them

Here's with only living leaf wall having illuminant coating

And here's the gemspark ones without any coating, I swapped the negative painted emerald gemspark for unpainted amethyst gemspark on the one on the right

It would've glowed green otherwise

[balmy vault]

Any suggestions for walls ? I don't like the monowall but i can't think of much

[wooden sigil]

Really any brick or slab walls painted white

[shrewd harness]

tried to do a little boss showcase thingy

[wooden sigil]

Green slab wall painted white could be good

[wooden sigil]

I like it

[balmy vault]

I'll experiment once painter moves in

[wooden sigil]

Do you know that you’re missing a frost moon relic?

[shrewd harness]

theres a couple boss pets im missing but those should be easily attained

[wooden sigil]

Yeah

[shrewd harness]

didnt add in santank for consistency

[wooden sigil]

Well Betsy can be hard

[wooden sigil]

Yeah that’s what I figured

[shrewd harness]

havent gone for old ones army at all this playthrough but i could

[wooden sigil]

Trying to think of a way to include it

[shrewd harness]

three bosses is kindof hard to center

never really accounted for them

[wooden sigil]

What if you made the 2 moon sets in the shapes of actual moons? Frost moon can be in a crescent with all 3 while the pumpkin moon is a regular, circular moon.

And they’re higher up cause they’re moon. Lol

[shrewd harness]

possible

i think in my next playthrough i wanna do mage and instead of the usual house i do ill build like a cool tall wizard tower

probably with stone brick and the dynasty wood roof the wandering trader sells

here bro try this
use shadewood fence at the bottom 3 blocks apart, connect with platforms, then build your usual staircase with platforms. On the top of the very left shadewood fence, use rail painted brown (be sure to hammer the ends) and fallow it all the way up with your platforms. The use bamboo walls painted brown to finalize the stair look

What do yall think so far?

Gonna make my storage/crafting stations here.. still not entirely sure how ill design it

[lethal pond]

B i i g dungeon

[still obsidian]

https://imgur.com/QedLwAd

Made a Japanese rural house

for forest pylon

[lethal pond]

You could search the internet for designs & emulate it to Terraria

I got one of my inspirations from here https://limbuscompany.wiki.gg/wiki/Canto_VIII:_The_Surrendered_Witnessing/Gallery#/media/File:Story_Tiekan_Temple_BG.png

[lethal pond]

I like the use of the mowed grass

[still obsidian]

Yep its supposed to look like tatami mats

[lethal pond]

Are those workbenches in between the ceiling & floor?

[still obsidian]

Yah

I used some blocks im not familiar with such as hell bricks, root wall, & corals

The fire place inside challenged me the most

As for the walls, i made it thicker for more depth and detail

i also used some workbenches to also add a little bit of detail

[hexed osprey]

Thanks for the tip.. I do try to use visual references ocassionally

[lethal pond]

The foundation's gradient is so good 🤤

[lethal pond]

You're welcome!

[hexed osprey]

Any suggestions for how i build it further?

[waxen sandal]

nope

[lethal pond]

Not sure, I usually just do Trial & Error until I do/find something that works.

[waxen sandal]

Very incomplete

[lethal pond]

Imagine a portal at the center of those blue spikes at the snow biome

[waxen sandal]

fr

[hexed osprey]

I actually was thinking sonething similar

[waxen sandal]

it was going to be a entrence to a snow fortress underground

[hexed osprey]

I was thinking a heart.

[lethal pond]

Ah I see

[waxen sandal]

the left castle build goes all the way dow to the cavern layer btw

[lethal pond]

That could work too, a frozen heart sealing away Deerclops or something.

[waxen sandal]

i just realised the bridge I built lost water

these are part of the build btw

its all a year or something old

[hexed osprey]

Well. You could also go with. Brain of cthulu. Sealed within the crimson orbs spreading corruption despite its sealing. Forcing entities to a hive mind

The eater of worlds/cthulus stomach devouring all it can sense.

The eye of cthulu endlessly searching for its remnants.

The skeleton of cthulu bound to a dungeon unable to leave and filled with resentment

And the heart of cthulu. Seeping frost out of its cold-blooded veins through the rocks creating the very tundra you cross.

[waxen sandal]

lot of it not finished yet

[waxen sandal]

its all very ambititous

but this is what comes when you have 2500+ hours in a single game across multiple platforms

and this

all old screen shots part of one bigass build

spread across 2 years of working on a section like 4 times a month

[hexed osprey]

Well im not there yet. Prolly never will be

But I want to eventually make one build that people will just. Say is a nice build

Long term goals

[waxen sandal]

yeah

and believe it or not I actually spend most of my time playing sports

[waxen sandal]

holy shit that town build is probably 3 years old

[hexed osprey]

1 sex

Sec*

I made a slider addition

[waxen sandal]

lol

[hexed osprey]

Slight*

Which means I gotta boot up imgur again

Shadows

[waxen sandal]

very cool

[hexed osprey]

Yes its basic bitch black paint but I am already lost on what to do for my storage. Was tired of overthinking that corner lol

Im also not hard mode yet

[waxen sandal]

I have never been good at implementing shadows so I cant give any tip/feed back

[hexed osprey]

...mainly because my storage system got too put of hand and my house was becoming more chest than house

[waxen sandal]

fr man\

start of every playthroug hwith my mates we just dig a hole

for chests

[hexed osprey]

Yeah but I made a rule with this world

[hexed osprey]

Any project I do. I have to attach a build to it

And I have to give myself 1 project before each progression milestone

[waxen sandal]

same

[hexed osprey]

Mainly because. I never build

[hexed osprey]

So this is my way of enforcing to improve

[waxen sandal]

this is my most optimized craftingroom

[hexed osprey]

Thats... a mess

Yeah no. Not willing to do that.

[waxen sandal]

you dont need to tell me twice

[hexed osprey]

Future projects

Sure

But this world. It would violate rules of making every place look natural

So yeah I am definitely in need of suggestions for my storage system. To make it look. Natural

[waxen sandal]

1 word for storage system

NAMES

[hexed osprey]

Yeah I didn't plan to implement a bin system for my pixel game

[manic violet]

is it not possible to place blocks/furniture on top of wooden beams in vanilla terraria

[hexed osprey]

Not in easy ways

Depending on your build. Instead of beams. Try fences

[shell violet]

Not technically, try subbing in ebonwood painted brown

[hexed osprey]

Im a dumbass mybad

[manic violet]

mm

[hexed osprey]

You could definitely do ebonwood

But lowkey

Living wood walls also have a really nice texture thats similar to wooden beams

And if its for a standalone wall segment. Then you could use echo walls to shape it

[manic violet]

echo walls? 🙏

[manic violet]

this works thanks

[shell violet]

Without seeing the build I can’t make any better suggestions

[hexed osprey]

Echo walls you will get in hard mode

[hexed osprey]

Got any suggestions for me?

[manic violet]

ah alr gotcha im in pre-hard

[hexed osprey]

Same currently

[shell violet]

If I can see

[shell violet]

They are post skele now
Painter sells echo coating when mechanic alive in world and she sells the rest of it
Both need a graveyard afaik

[hexed osprey]

https://imgur.com/a/oTrxzqa

I want to add my storage area. But want to make it actually look. Nice

[hexed osprey]

Uhhhhhh

You are half right

Echo coating is post skele. Echo walls are hard mode

[shell violet]

Really?

That’s fucked

[hexed osprey]

Yes

I am post skele. Have both my painter and mechanic in a graveyard together

[shell violet]

You can texture the stone to break up the plainness a bit

Grey paint on everything

• crimtane/ebonstone brick depending on world evil
• grey brick
• plain stone
• mudstone
• sandstone

Blending in those into the blocks and walls goes a long ways

[hexed osprey]

I prefer to do texturing last. Ngl. Cause im horrendous at it

Im too pattern oriented for chaos I think lol

I did add a little corner shadow to that bottom corner cause it felt mm lacking

[shell violet]

Fair

[hexed osprey]

But for the moment. I want suggestions on how I can build. A decent looking storage/workshop with this next room.

[shell violet]

I dunno I do boxes

Nothin fancy

[hexed osprey]

Uhhh

I beg your finest French fuck?

Where's the storage lol

Oh I see it

The room is just large so the chests are small

[lethal pond]

I was about to ask where they got those colossal "Book Cases" lol

[hexed osprey]

Interesting bed choice

Toss and turn in your sleep you might just respawn the next morning

[shell violet]

Stolen from makfeed

[lethal pond]

Lol

[shell violet]

Ran out of floor room + room actually too big otherwise

There’s an echo coated platform box

[hexed osprey]

Yknow the one thing from modded I wish devs would think about

Magic storage mod

[shell violet]

Ngl I only started playing pc with 1.4.5

[hexed osprey]

Or give console players. Tmodloader like baldurs gate 3 mod manager

I can mod baldurs gate but not terraria

[shell violet]

And I’m running a MacBook so it’s not ideal for mods

[hexed osprey]

*then again its a good thing they dont give me mods

[shell violet]

Relatively up to date cave photo

Need to go build more of it

[hexed osprey]

Btw

Pre hardmode darkness solution:

Black painted granite

Its practically pitch black

[shell violet]

I know

Just doesn’t work for half my applications 😂

Need shadow for the door because it’s silly balloon to give it that arch

Oh fuck we in hm now I can do that

[hexed osprey]

Nice

Ok I got a potential solution

https://imgur.com/a/Aj573Fu

What do yoy think

[rancid drum]

https://imgur.com/a/iSD2pD2

What is this guys?

[hexed osprey]

Looks like gemspark walls

Not sure bout dull or active

[rancid drum]

I think u right

But it is natural colour?

@hexed osprey

[hexed osprey]

I dont have enough gems for testing sorry

[rancid drum]

Ahhh its okey thanks brotha

[young bridge]

could be painted

although it looks like normal glass on a desert background if you look close

[manic violet]

are there accent blocks for any other blocks than stone slabs

[young bridge]

i don't think so

[lethal pond]

Try Silly Balloon blocks

[lean wyvern]

I like my build nice and simple

crazy platform stair build tech

[exotic harness]

I thought your player was a lantern at first

Anyone got a good seed for building in drunk world? The ones I find have way too messy biome generation

[fossil haven]

jungle done https://medal.tv/games/terraria/clips/mdwMxxJ2WmdAO-u81?invite=cr-MSxkRVEsMjExMDk0MTIy&v=0

[wise bane]

glass painted white?

its defnirely glass

the texture has the lines of glass

[young bridge]

why insist on the drunk world? its called drunk for a reason, you're never gonna get normal generation anytime soon

and if its for the "both evil biomes" part, you can buy seeds of the opposite evil from the dryad in a graveyard in hardmode

[young bridge]

mods, is this stuff allowed here?

[rancid drum]

But texture looks more smooth than glass, like its doesnt have light reflected uk

https://imgur.com/a/oNpd3qW

Btw, pretty sure this is slab and slab wall BUT WHAT COLOUR THIS IS?

Also for the wall of slab, whats colour is that

[frigid dew]

simplicity my beloved

[wise bane]

sandstone slab

[wise bane]

whats why u paint it white

[rancid drum]

Eh wait, sand stone have a slab?

[wise bane]

yeah

[rancid drum]

Not mine, btw gotta try later xD

[rancid drum]

I just know tht :V

https://imgur.com/a/seenKdh

@wise bane yeah its not glass

[wise bane]

https://imgur.com/a/seenKdh

why isnt it

[rancid drum]

Buggy

Wait

[wise bane]

the texture is glass thi

u see the lines right?

[rancid drum]

https://imgur.com/a/bN3c6cj

[rancid drum]

I see but gemspark have it too :v

[rancid drum]

Also this the result @wise bane

I paint it white with my ... paint already

[autumn raptor]

fun little structures to fish from

[eager epoch]

This is eye candy, eye ASMR. Very nice

[still obsidian]

What did u use on walls?

[young bridge]

Ash wood and large bamboo both painted brown, and grey painted green tiled dungeon brick walls

[wide willow]

https://imgur.com/a/tdeZ7lT pls help me improve my build

[young bridge]

You could make the walls thicker to add extra detail, a roof, windows, maybe some shelves made out of platforms with stuff like pots or bottles on them

Otherwise I can't really recommend specific blocks because texture pack so you're gonna have to do some experimentation of your own :/

[wide willow]

right right

[wide willow]

thanks man

[nova agate]

Idk how to upload images so i made em as emojis little sonic shoes over hermes boots texturepack i made

Oh wait, if i do them as one message they should be bigger

[young bridge]

#terrarian-role-info but sure

[nova agate]

Okay

Ill try

[sand kindle]

Living Mahogany Fae tower. Think I should add strutt supports to the underside of the house portion?

[nova agate]

Ohh for terrarian role i need to write more :(

Peak house tho

[sand kindle]

TY!

[queen belfry]

Maybe add some supports to the outside so it holds up the house

[sand kindle]

That's what I was thinking.

[kind dagger]

Yeah!

I like using beams usually but I’m sure there’s more interesting ways to do so too

[young bridge]

ye olde living wood hammered Zig zag:

[kind dagger]

Btw that staircase looks AWESOME

[kind dagger]

Ooo yeah

[young bridge]

That reminds me, i should add those to that one build i have i keep tinkering with

[sand kindle]

How does this look?

[kind dagger]

Ooo!

Could still add some back wall or beams to make it look like it has support from the ground, but that does look good!

[young bridge]

Looks my like tough rope
Also the fact its asymmetrical when everything else is symmetrical is frying my brain

[kind dagger]

Oh it is

Looks like an easy fix tho :3

[sand kindle]

Oh good shout.

I'll fix that. Hang on.

Here we go.

[kind dagger]

Ooo!

That looks cool!

Maybe add some walls or smth on the bottom so it looks like the base is more supported? Not sure :^

[sand kindle]

I did add leaf walls behind it just to plug the gaps.

I may add some living mahogany for roots.

[kind dagger]

Ooo yeah!

[sand kindle]

Added some ultra brights to highlight the roots.

[kind dagger]

Nice!

[shell violet]

White paint green dungeon slab (I think slab) wall
Brown pained ash wood (horizontal)
Brown painted large bamboo (vertical)

[balmy vault]

What wall is this ?

[shell violet]

Worn stone wall with looks like a bit of stalatic wall sprinkled in

Both are made using stone at a workbench in a graveyard

[neon mesa]

Is this too much rainbow brick

[carmine frost]

nah you need more fr

[opaque gulch]

Anyone mind showing me all the different ancient bricks in grey?

[queen belfry]

Craggy / worn stone slab wall combo it seems

You can make them at a graveyard biome

[dry zenith]

does that double thickness work i don't typically do 2 wide walls or floors but thought i'd try it

[queen belfry]

well I did something similar to that for my build

Let me just grab the image

[dry zenith]

sure

[queen belfry]

I couldn't find the stand alone but ye

[dry zenith]

damn thats a cool build

wait

[queen belfry]

epic puns

[dry zenith]

goddamnit me

[queen belfry]

I changed a little of the pylon but doesn't matter cuz it's about the house

Imo double thickness works but single blocks also work well

[dry zenith]

wasn't even intentional lmao

[queen belfry]

I just find that with more than 1 blocks I can add more details

But that's just my style

You can do whatever ya want!

that's the good part about building

[dry zenith]

yeah the few khaios building specific videos i have watched (even though that's his whole channel) he often says to do two wide but for walls at least i personally don't like building with them even though they do look really good when utilised

[dry zenith]

is this too much now in your opinion (even though art is subjective) because i can't really find the balance between too much and too little unless its a drastic degree

[queen belfry]

hmm well

The door placement is a little awkward without the block above/ to the side of it being hammered

I myself just do the framing first cuz it's a lot easier to get a nice shape that way

[dry zenith]

wait which door?

[queen belfry]

Rn I'd say it feels little too square.?

[queen belfry]

The two far out ones

The middle one is pretty good

[dry zenith]

ohh yeah looking back at your build i see what you mean now i think my brain just misfired lol

[queen belfry]

Maybe push both second floor walls inside?

It feels kinda flat rn and I think that's why it's a little off

[dry zenith]

do you mean something like this i don't really understand what you mean by this i apologise as i am still relatively new to multi-block building despite making a few build in the past

[queen belfry]

Hmm yeah kinda

I meant something like uhh

| _ _ |
| _ _ | it's like this right

[dry zenith]

ohhhh

[queen belfry]

Oh it got auto modded

Lol

[dry zenith]

oh where did it, ah

[queen belfry]

But I think maybe push the door near the stair one block in

so it's kinda like a \ shape of sorts

[queen belfry]

also no need to apologize

everyone's new to something... And those who aren't then uhhh good for you ig

[dry zenith]

the interior door?

[queen belfry]

The outside one

[dry zenith]

lol true and thanks

[queen belfry]

The wall that's like

Not second floor

[opaque gulch]

:/

[dry zenith]

i changed it a bit because it is the store/house for the merchant (plus my bed location and teleporter to get into the volcano farm past the torch)

so the bottom floor is the store part then his room and other stuff are on the top with an attic in the roof once i get to that

i am using this build for a bit of inspiration
https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/merchants-shop.94359/

[wooden sigil]

I think making the bottom level at least one taller would be good

[dry zenith]

oh yeah i could do that

[desert raft]

https://imgur.com/a/l1wcKO0 hows this looking

[elfin shuttle]

is there a good gradient from aetherium to stone?

[slow dew]

unable to test currently, but I'd mess around with negative paint, I feel like that could have some good results

[elfin shuttle]

Oh I already found a good one but thanks

(Aetherium -> snow brick -> white painted stone -> stone if ur curious)

[shell violet]

The wood texturing go hard

[alpine burrow]

i'm gonna stare at this long enough for its image to engrain itself into my retinas then preserve my eyeballs forever

[desert raft]

gawsh thanks guys

[kind dagger]

That's amazing :O
Awesome!!

[neon mesa]

First time terraforming kinda nervous

[desert raft]

Its looking good so far! Do you have the thing that makes stalagmites

[neon mesa]

Yeah I do, I need to use some of those after I plant the gem trees

[desert raft]

Also i reccomend rubblemaker with ummm Grey painted rocky things from different stones

Im getting food rn but I'll post pics when I get back

Also oh oh

I need to show you my little hidden hidey hole cave cause I did a thing my friend used to make in there

[neon mesa]

Ooo yay can't wait to see

[urban burrow]

while most definitely not my best work i'm still proud about how this turned out

[neon mesa]

I like the roof/attic a lot

[urban burrow]

:D yay

[kind dagger]

Looks cute!! :D

[blazing sentinel]

Looks great!

[rugged wedge]

trying to make a tent on the surface and i feel like the roof is NOT it 😓

its def not the worst but i still am not a fan of how it looks rn

i feel like i need to make it curve more from the bottom to the top fs

idk how to do that while keeping everything seperated tho

[lethal pond]

I like how there's slime gore everywhere & like 3 silver coins on the ground.

Just can't be left alone while building

[rugged wedge]

i forgot to turn off entities lol

good thing im using summons

[lethal pond]

My G.O.A.T. class

[neon mesa]

Do you guys think the build would look better if I separated the trees more?

[lethal pond]

I think it looks cool as it is

[rugged wedge]

in modded with better tools, this looks a lot better, could still refine it with some hammering as well

yeah, i like this a lot more

[ripe juniper]

Wait Fuck this is the wrong game

[dry zenith]

1-up noise

[desert raft]

https://imgur.com/a/h0LBq9M

my old snow biome base im gonna make look extra nice and it literally wont show the pretty arora sky bg right now

why is the photo negative quality holy fuck can i get a break

[rugged wedge]

anyone know wiring enough to know why this isnt activating the blue pressure plate 😓

[patent karma]

wiki says blue is players only, red or green for projectiles

[rugged wedge]

its a teal pressure plate

[dry zenith]

is this wall a good/cool pattern

[dry zenith]

is the dart trap not activating it?

[rugged wedge]

no

[dry zenith]

i am probably wrong but try putting one more wire over the pressure plate?

[rugged wedge]

nope

[dry zenith]

oh then i am not sure sorry i wasn't more help

[rugged wedge]

it could be modded thats the issue, ill check in vanilla

idk how that would be the issue tho

[patent karma]

The tip of the dart spawns one tile in front of the Dart Trap; two Dart Traps can be placed in a row and both will fire without problems.
may be it needs another tile space? because it spawns the dart past the plate

[rugged wedge]

hmm, ill try that

[marble mica]

too close?

[rugged wedge]

yep, tho also it didnt work for what i want

i need a way to turn on a logic lamp then turn it off right after

like a button in mc

i could maybe have something connected to a timer to make it so the timmer turns off

tho the delay might be too big idk

i should probably explain my idea

im trying to make a minigame where you have to react to a gemspark block lighting up

[austere rivet]

looks solid

[dry zenith]

which sky island should i turn into a mushroom island those are all in my world

[violet locust]

The one on the right on top of the desert

[vagrant steeple]

darts actually spawn a block further than the mouth of the trap

[rugged wedge]

i ended up figuring it out and it works pretty well

[fringe locust]

this is super cool

[fringe locust]

imo theres too much going on in that small of an area

move the 2nd wall pattern from the bottom to the top and remove the 2nd wall pattern from the top

and replace it with the topmost wall

if that makes sense

what wood type is the roof of the first floor made of? @dry zenith

[rugged wedge]

my only issue is that like 3/4 (3 shifts w/ 1/4 second) is too long to be hard but 1/2 is too short to really be possible

[vagrant steeple]

large bamboo under dynasty

painted brown I think

[rugged wedge]

and i cant get anything between 1/2 and 3/4

[rugged wedge]

yeah

the vertical beams for the door is shadewood or rich mahog i think

[vagrant steeple]

do u need timers specifically?

[rugged wedge]

i dont think so

[dry zenith]

shit sorry i was making toast lol

[vagrant steeple]

how many s/t do u recon u need then?

signal per tick

[rugged wedge]

also with this, because of how i made the one time pulse, its a 1/4 second delay of it

[fringe locust]

tysm

[formal bronze]

you couldddd adjust it one tick at a time with a dummy engine

[dry zenith]

yeah its large bamboo under dynasty like what Qlippoth said

[vagrant steeple]

the issue is of the dummy nerfs

[dry zenith]

that looks wrong without the fancy text

[formal bronze]

the whu

[vagrant steeple]

dummys dont load anymore when off screen

[rugged wedge]

like 350-400 ms so like 20-25 ticks id say

[formal bronze]

that is tragic

[rugged wedge]

is it off screen?

[formal bronze]

time to imprison npcs then

[rugged wedge]

i knew it was a lesser range

[vagrant steeple]

u could use npcs instead

or

[formal bronze]

can i give money to a statue enemy

[vagrant steeple]

dart traps lol

[vagrant steeple]

no

[formal bronze]

damn

[rugged wedge]

eugh

[formal bronze]

darts could adjust the timing too yes

but that dummy change will be veeeeery annoying

[rugged wedge]

im too dumb for this 😭
my extent is like shift registers

the whole thing is just a shift register for the most part

[vagrant steeple]

even if its a natural mob, giving it money will still despawn it and will only be reloaded when its near the players spawn range

[formal bronze]

ohh

[rugged wedge]

its a server so i probably cant get away with stealing an npc

[formal bronze]

that's how my biggest project works too lol

i learned how to use shift registers and then build flappy bird

[rugged wedge]

like the only one that i could maybe take is like tax collector bc NO ONE CARES ABOUT HIM

[vagrant steeple]

does it require progression lock?

[rugged wedge]

?

were at post mech if thats what you mean

[vagrant steeple]

ah

so no spike ball trap

[rugged wedge]

nope

unless i make it in the temple but i would like the build to look nice

[vagrant steeple]

the only way I can really think of is just the dart trap activating teal pressure plates

[formal bronze]

suuuurely no one would mind a hoik in

but yeah dart traps work

[rugged wedge]

its already been done

[vagrant steeple]

no

u cant place wires on the temple pre golem

so that wont work

[formal bronze]

if the five second cooldown doesn't work, have a shift register change which dart it is

[formal bronze]

oh i thought you could steal the traps

oop

[rugged wedge]

how much does a dart trap work for that

how many ticks

sorry

incoherant

[vagrant steeple]

its a lot slower than a spike ball on terminal velocity

so Im not sure

[formal bronze]

i have no idea how many ticks it takes but i'm sure you could find a good timing by moving the pressure plate away

maybe adding a quarter second

[vagrant steeple]

u might have to use 2-3 dart traps spaced and separated by a tile

[slow dew]

could also use boulder traps iirc

[vagrant steeple]

10s cooldown though

[formal bronze]

you could cycle water over a liquid sensor lol

[slow dew]

cannons would be way cooler if they didn't have that universal cooldown

[rugged wedge]

i would also need a way to have a single pulse input

like a mc button

[formal bronze]

you can have the output for a faulty gate turn off the boolean

[rugged wedge]

[vagrant steeple]

oh wait

there is a way to use statue mobs instead

[formal bronze]

you can have a gate turn off its own lamp

[vagrant steeple]

for a quick hoik

[rugged wedge]

similar to shift registers?

[formal bronze]

yes

i use those in flappy bird

but in a weird way that smokes them lol

[vagrant steeple]

how long do u think the delay between activations is again?

cuz if u can spawn a high hp enemy on lava, it will prevent it from being despawned immediately

[formal bronze]

this is the flappy bird, i also only know how to make shift registers lol

[formal bronze]

oooh

[vagrant steeple]

then u can use a teleporter to transport it to the engine and power it until it died

[formal bronze]

i could add a column to the left, and a score, and the ground killing, but uh nah

[rugged wedge]

i have that happening here already

[formal bronze]

damn

[rugged wedge]

so its just like this

[wise bane]

this is rocket science bro

[rugged wedge]

type

[formal bronze]

does the extra and gate make it send two pulses

[rugged wedge]

im so slightly lost

[formal bronze]

i am not seeing it and the gate looks completely unecessary othwrwise

what does it do

[rugged wedge]

dont you need the and gate for the output?

[formal bronze]

no you can just send the signal straight from the blue one lol

[rugged wedge]

no i know what you mean

its to change the wire color and make it so the pulse wont go back

[vagrant steeple]

diode?

[rugged wedge]

which i guess i dont need the second bit

[formal bronze]

the gate itself cannot serve as an input

but if you need to change the colour, sure

the yellow wire doesn't need to hit the and gate but it doesn't matter

[rugged wedge]

probably

[rugged wedge]

you right

im playing on tmod for testing and i miss floating timers

[formal bronze]

and this is all just to change wire colour after six tiles lol

[formal bronze]

rip

i didn't know those were a thing until today

[rugged wedge]

i have 2 inputs and an output for the timer

[formal bronze]

i have not wired in 1.4.5 at all but guess i'm keeping the dummies on screen now

[ebon tulip]

wait did they really change dummies 😭

[vagrant steeple]

yes

[rugged wedge]

red turns it on, yellow is the output for the register, blue is the one that turns it off

[ebon tulip]

why tf is speeqs so concerned about faulty gate floating point then? this is like way worse unless there are alternatives I don't know about

[rugged wedge]

the like .00000000003% chance it wont activate or smth?

[vagrant steeple]

its a bug due to rounding error

[ebon tulip]

yeah

Im aware im aware

[rugged wedge]

"We have discovered that there is roughly a 0.000003% chance of a faulty logic gate with one ON lamp to not send a signal due to floating point rounding."

[vagrant steeple]

meaning on very accurate machines, it has a chance to break the circuit completely

[rugged wedge]

thats such a small chance

[ebon tulip]

but dummy clocks not working off screen is like a way more significant problem

[rugged wedge]

yeah

[vagrant steeple]

there are alternatives

[rugged wedge]

they were concerned when 1.4.5 came out

just kinda accepted it now

[formal bronze]

alright fair enough to change colour instead of taking a junction over the red

[ebon tulip]

to dummy clocks? tell me more

[vagrant steeple]

the only reason that its such a massive problem is cuz of the ppl working on transmute workshop

[vagrant steeple]

npcs, the aforementioned burning mob engines

[ebon tulip]

mmm okay

[rugged wedge]

this 1 gate is controlling basically the entire mechanism so i have all 4 colors on it already, i dont think i could really place a red one

[formal bronze]

are you morally averse to an angler engine

[rugged wedge]

me?

[formal bronze]

anyone

[ebon tulip]

dummy engines were just very convinient

[vagrant steeple]

nope, I use him alot

[formal bronze]

yyyyyup how did i not notice that okay

[formal bronze]

that they were

this is indicative of i should sleep byee

[rugged wedge]

alr gn

[rugged wedge]

idk if you care but it seems that the dart traps are 1 block per tick

unless i did my math wrong

so the shortest you could have is 2 ticks

[vagrant steeple]

yeah thats why I said u might need to put another dart trap diagonal of the 1st dart trap

[rugged wedge]

i dont think i need that much refinement

and if i do i can just extend one probably

idk

[dry zenith]

also sorry again to reply so late i took a little break from terraria but did you mean something like this sorry if i misunderstood which i am like 95% sure i did as i am absolute dogshit as writen problems

[fringe locust]

extend the vertical up one more tile and thats it

[dry zenith]

the ebonwood wall?

[fringe locust]

yah

[dry zenith]

like this?

[kind dagger]

Ooo nice!

That looks good :D

[fringe locust]

W

[rugged wedge]

its kinda messy and i will clean it up but this is roughly done now finally

i can finally not bash my head against a wall for this
