^^ they are a lighter shade if thats what youre looking for

its also not a block

hay is a little more yellow but maybe an option

if it helps

BONE MARROW FOR THE

help

[lethal ivy]

bone marrow for those guys in germanic and italic europe who found out how to make it a restaurant meal

[radiant loom]

built this in 1.4

[placid nest]

ohh yellow stucco could be tech

[radiant loom]

try painting it brown and see if its beige or a weird light orange

[rugged wedge]

stucco doesnt take paint well from my experience

[near mango]

depends on the stucco & depends on the colour

like gray stucco won't be great with most regular colours but deep paints show

meanwhile red & yellow stucco take regular paints decently since they aren't well, gray

[frigid dew]

i always kept using stucco for carpet but the flinx fur block saved my life

[near mango]

flinx fur blocks are definitely better for carpets yea

[frigid dew]

and cozier💀

[near mango]

stucco still have plenty great use though that i'll continue to use them for though

great block in particular for pixel arts

[frigid dew]

ooo yeah

[near mango]

but yellow stucco even without paint is great to mix with sandstone brick

for example

[frigid dew]

i tried all the stucco colors with the same paint and found out that green stucco looks shinier than the other colors

sure can't wait to recreate this old ahh build with ACTUAL carpet flooring

[mint imp]

I was using uh desert fossils? for my own carpeting schemes iirc

Living wood gray also wasnt bad

[mint imp]

Also this buid is both super cute but also so cringe in some areas and its so conflicting >_<
Old ass build, im sure you already know, but godddd.

[arctic grail]

holy peak

[frigid dew]

ty :D

[arctic grail]

i could never build something that good

i guess

[frigid dew]

yeah ik, that's why i'm gonna remake it

[mint imp]

You can!

[arctic grail]

i was told to use imgur to put builds here tho

[mint imp]

belive in yourself and practice!

[arctic grail]

not sure about it tho

imgur seems kinda odd

[mint imp]

Its a well respected and known site

[arctic grail]

but i was told thats the only known way to post stuff here

[mint imp]

it is, unless you have the terrarian role

[arctic grail]

i was told you need about 600+ messages for terrarian role xd

[mint imp]

something like that

[arctic grail]

nice

[mint imp]

just use imgur for now

and then, eventually, after a bit

you can post em raw UwU

[arctic grail]

nice

[mint imp]

you should attempt to post your own work. so we can give pointed advice and make you stronger

[arctic grail]

okay i think i got it?

https://imgur.com/a/jzhuJXe

oh

nice

it worked

i think-

the only difference is the top but thats about it

(and the grass)

[mint imp]

difficult to judge your fundamentals based on this. because it is so similar to the vanilla structures

[arctic grail]

ye

i should added some more stuff to it

[mint imp]

the vanilla structures are in general kinda trash, so. it carries over.

[arctic grail]

bc i put a rope to a end of the structure

so i can get up there

but it isnt on the image

[mint imp]

I havent played 1.4.5 but I heard theres good structures in that

[arctic grail]

yea

[mint imp]

but thats the exception, not the rule

[arctic grail]

the dungeon got a whole redesign

it looks like a church now ig

[mint imp]

You should try building a normal house, its an excellent way to show off fundamentals (or lack there of)

with the woods and stones and stuffs

[arctic grail]

ik-

i do remember a old world i had

where i built a simple looking pumpkin house and a mushroom house

[rugged wedge]

this counts as a terraria creation sorta, i made this video of my gnome farm design

ty qlip

supportive parent

[spring kiln]

Can I build multiple of this stacking on top if each other

[rugged wedge]

you should be able to. it would have to be wired tho bc you need a way to break the gnomes

if youre in hardmode, just make a mimic farm instead tho

should be faster

[spring kiln]

I'll see what I can do

How do I design this is the question

[near mango]

chippy's set

[spring kiln]

How do you do this?

[near mango]

i open up the sprite in aseprite
i cross reference with blocks & walls in-game with their map view & i simply build it

[timid tiger]

hello fellow asepriter

[near mango]

aseprite good 👍

picked it up in like 2019

[timid tiger]

2021

my previous pfp is made there

anyway: latest build of mine
=IMG DELETED=

my builder world finally has its own custom shimmer cave

since it was created in release 1.4, it never had the biome till now

at least now the aegis fruit has a tree

[near mango]

good use for some negative painted blocks as they are quite hard to use, a lot of ores are some of my favourites with the paint but I don't use it much

[timid tiger]

so satisfying to see builds progress over the years from novice to experienced

lots of wishes in fact

okay, maybe a lot more wishes

holy fck I don't need this many wishes

STOP

[spring kiln]

I wish for 10 platinum coins

[royal frigate]

my (somewhat) working shower, thoughts?

[cinder vortex]

My buddy's start to his graveyard build. Sorry for the low quality

[timid tiger]

good tree

[cinder vortex]

Can you use rain clouds for a similar effect?

[royal frigate]

it’s not as cool

[cinder vortex]

Thanks, I'll let my buddy know

[royal frigate]

also not very togglable

[cinder vortex]

True true, it will be cool to see once you have figured it out completely

[timid tiger]

btw, stink debuff actually decreases your luck, also NPCs will refuse to sell you stuff

ngl, kinda wish Terraria had a cooking mechanic, so many food items but the only way to get them is to kill specific mobs

[timid tiger]

btw, lil suggestion but try and make a gibbet with one of those hanging skeletons

gibbeting is an old form of prison sentence, the condemned are caged and hung along a road or public area where they're exposed to the elements to die

their bodies in the cages however may be left there as a display and warning

hey i need help, i want to make this dont starve item to a terraria accsesory. idk if its fit

[shell violet]

It looks like something you could find in game ngl

[lyric cave]

fr?

alright thank you

[wise bane]

very good spiriting

[lyric cave]

thank you

[quasi crane]

cool sprite, feels vanilla-like imo

[lyric cave]

hell yeah! that what i want

[lament briar]

What does it do?

[lyric cave]

after 5 attack a shadow arm will impale you dealing 25% of the original damage that got hit. its work for everything

let me get the animation

this

[prisma meadow]

neat

[fallow pike]

should I name this either the laser machine railgun or L.M.R.G. in-game?

[alpine burrow]

fuck idkkk

[fallow pike]

I'm thinking of lmrg, but I want to hear what other people think

[alpine burrow]

Uhmmm lmrg might make it sound too reminiscent of the sdmg and so people might expect a fast bullet based minigun

Unless that's what it does tho in which case it's perfect

[fallow pike]

I will name it the laser machine railgun on the workshop page btw, so it's just about what sounds cooler

it's a resprite of the laser machine gun btw

[alpine burrow]

Oh uhh hm then laser machine railgun then

[fallow pike]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3682514937 here it is in its full glory

[slow dew]

B.F.L.R.G.

[fallow pike]

what's that supposed to stand for...

[slow dew]

big fucking laser rail gun

[forest sundial]

Do you need a special rank to send images, just wondering

[slow dew]

#terrarian-role-info

[alpine burrow]

you need to be a member of relogic

[forest sundial]

Thats just a lie 😭

(i hope)

[tawdry wadi]

ok i cant send images cuz i litteraly just joined but i need advice on my hallowed npc houses

i really dont like the pearl wood is there a better alternative?

actually wait lemme make an imgur

[rugged wedge]

#terrarian-role-info

[tawdry wadi]

https://imgur.com/a/kk8vIm6

there's what i have

[rugged wedge]

aside from it just being a hallow biome house, is there something youre specifically going for?

[tawdry wadi]

nah

ig kinda like a lookout tower?

expect the party girl has turned it into like a penthouse type of thing

[rugged wedge]

i’d say best tip is to just have an idea/reference for what you want. it’ll make blocking choices a lot easier

[tawdry wadi]

that's fair

i just kinda started building

[urban burrow]

for the class pillars i made once i got to the pillars i instantly started working on this

[radiant loom]

should just rename the channel to "#how-to-send-images"

[rugged wedge]

real

there’s already like #how-to-report and #how-to-vc

vc has the same req as image perms too

[cinder vortex]

People should just actually read info when they come in. That would solve new people asking the same question over and over again

[dense sparrow]

[shy hull]

Yeah

how yall like?

[autumn raptor]

that looks so cool!!!

[autumn raptor]

this is SO cozy i love it

[frigid dew]

ty! :)

[mellow field]

I saw a project on YouTube, of this guy making a Gameboy themed adventure map, and it got me thinking that it would be really neat if we got a coating that makes certain blocks unaffected by all or specific monolith effects, that or coatings that apply those monolith effects to the chosen blocks and objects

just saying this here since this idea would be more relevant to us builder folk

[mellow field]

A way of obtaining the coating(s) could be shopping at the painter whilst a monolith is active

[potent stratus]

thanks g 🙏

LOVE IT

[radiant loom]

yeahhhh

i have to agree with this guy

[arctic grail]

crazy ngl

pretty cool

anyways heres a house thing i built years ago (i remembered about it after i figured out there was a creations tab where ppl send builds or others)

https://imgur.com/a/pKtsJv6

[lament briar]

Is anyone interested in starting a journey mode world?

These are all amazing creations...

[frigid dew]

that 4th image is every kid trying a swimming pool for the first time💀

[floral sapphire]

lol

[floral sapphire]

Looks good

[arctic grail]

i mean i could i guess

[arctic grail]

LMAOOOO

[cinder vortex]

🤷 🤣

[sand kindle]

Bone Temple Tower

[arctic grail]

better than anything else than i can create ngl

[sand kindle]

The shape itsels is pretty simple. I just used a good variety of blocks and additional tools for effect.

[dreamy willow]

[glossy sail]

im really bad at building and ive got little to no imagination, but i really want to build. Does anyone have any tips on how to be more creative? I have a few design ideas i dont know how to add detail or make it look good

[sand kindle]

1: Shapes
2: Material variety
3: Furniture and accessories.

Try breaking down my build to see how these principles apply.

[prime valley]

what blocks did u use for the walls? cuz I think I never seen one or two them before

[sand kindle]

Boulder block walls for the outside, stone walls for the middle and bone walls for the frames. The windows are red stained glass.

[prime valley]

ohhh ok, thanks

[fiery roost]

Hell yeah, the Wiki says 1.4.5.6 is out! Time to hop onto GOG, downloading something new and finding out the Camera Mode still doesn't work for me 🥲 (Edit: actually nevermind, GOG.com is unusable right now)

[wooden sigil]

Is this based on the irl building you sent yesterday?

[sand kindle]

Inspired by it, yes.

[wooden sigil]

cool

[sand kindle]

I couldn't get the columns I wanted, so I decided to do my own variation with arches.

[fossil harbor]

I'm doing my first playthrough rn and I was so surprised it didn't have cooking with how many mechanics are in this game

[timid tiger]

it's for the sake of balance sadly

because the satisfied buffs can be very helpful

so the good/rare foods are locked behind monsters

[fossil harbor]

Gotta be a way to balance

At the very least could make it post moonlord

[timid tiger]

to kill a moon squid just to learn how to cook

[fossil harbor]

Yes

[timid tiger]

the forbidden calamari has equally forbidden knowledge

[fossil harbor]

I mean it's that rare to find good calamari irl so it's accurate

[timid tiger]

tbf, there isnt much to do post-moon lord aside from remaining achievements, building, and new playthroughs

[fossil harbor]

Yea I just beat him for the first time today and after I get BIS ima do achievements then I really wanna learn building and terraforming

[timid tiger]

BIS?

[fossil harbor]

Best in slot gear

For melee at least

Or whatever I decide that is

[timid tiger]

https://youtu.be/2NbH6XVkk6o?si=sskG7-tr55POu5Xl

[fossil harbor]

My house is nonexistent my grass biome is corrupted lol

But ty

[timid tiger]

tutorial may be old but not much has changed since 1.3 in terms of how to build

[fossil harbor]

Bet

[timid tiger]

also this one is slower pace and more beginner friendly

more advanced build strats you can refer to Khaios

general rule of thumb, treat Terraria building like painting since it's 2d

[timid tiger]

btw sunflowers help contain the corruption

they dont work against crimson though

[mint imp]

What other people have said.
Interesting shapes. Variety of blocks and walls. Detailing.

Here's a build that's simple that can be studied, which uses a couple basic techniques

The best way to build is to brute force it. Force out a shape, and do your best to improve it to the ends of your ability

Designate a kitchen, a living room, a bedroom, etc and decorate into that

[lament briar]

... I love the build overall...

But that picture over the fireplace bothers me.

I'm sorry.

I tried to ignore it... But it's hard.

[mint imp]

It's a centerpiece UwU

[lament briar]

Solid advice for builders though. I definitely like it.

[radiant loom]

new window outside painting is better

nice role btw

[mint imp]

[lament briar]

No, I mean... The wooden beams and the picture.

There's one gap between the gray brick and the wooden beams on the right side.

There's two gaps on the left.

[mint imp]

Symmetry is the enemy

[radiant loom]

oh lol

[mint imp]

I avoid it whenever possible

[radiant loom]

i lean towards symmetry all the time, but when i dont, it usually has to be drastic

[lament briar]

Overall, for building objects and shapes... Designs, things that are temporary, I agree.

Like, plate designs for food, items of three draw the eyes in.

[radiant loom]

At that point i would have had the bricks lead up the rightmost tile of the fireplace instead of centered

[lament briar]

But room that you typically reside in...

Those are usually balanced in design.

[mint imp]

At that point it would've been better to tile build a fireplace

[lament briar]

I could have a living room with two green and two black walls...

[mint imp]

Which works against the purposefully simple techniques in the build

[radiant loom]

youre right youre right

[lament briar]

I couldn't have a room with two green, one white, and one black lol...

[lament briar]

It's overall elegant.

I was just explaining what I saw.

[mint imp]

I need to rebuild it sometime tbh

[lament briar]

No. Don't.

[mint imp]

Kitchen is like, all modded tiles

[lament briar]

You are right though...

Symmetry is best left untouched.

Avoided.

[proper ivy]

Here's some more pictures of my world, some more stuff I've been working on.

[lament briar]

It really is all great.

[radiant loom]

nah keep old builds
if you were to rebuild it just remake it somewhere else

i deleted too many nostalgic places of mine

[mint imp]

I don't have as favorable of opinion on modded furniture as I did back then

[mint imp]

Oh no, the world file is like

[lament briar]

Why does the angel hate the floating islands?

[mint imp]

Long long gone

[radiant loom]

oh lol

[mint imp]

The only thing left of the build will forever be this image

[radiant loom]

i just never play modded so im always looking for new ways to do stuff

[proper ivy]

Haha. I made her about 12 years ago.

[mint imp]

Tile built furniture, beloved,,

[lament briar]

... And this amazing conversation lol.

[lament briar]

Was it lore-related, or just an experiment?

[near mango]

great in particular for kitchen building

another simple style of tile built furniture i did in the past is marble column with 3 sloped platforms above it for a nice shorter table

[radiant loom]

run, its an expert

hide!

[near mango]

not quite dynasty height table, but also not quite usual vanilla table height

downside is no placing stuff ontop of it

[mint imp]

Ough integrating the sink!

Into the counter!

[near mango]

i loosely based this kitchen off my own

[mint imp]

That's siiiock

[near mango]

& that is kind of how my kitchen is laid out from fridge to counterspace

[lament briar]

... You have a talking fish/fish trophy in your kitchen?

[near mango]

as i have fridge, counter, sink in the counter & then more counterspace, all of which is a marble style counterspace

[near mango]

hence the loosely

[lament briar]

Lol sounds like you need a housewarming gift!

[proper ivy]

No. Pixel art. My world has pixel art throughout.

[near mango]

pixel art fun to build, albeit some cases can be quite time consuming depending on scale

[near mango]

most recent ones i did at least didn't take me too long as both were quite small, being cultist & chippy's vanity set

[mint imp]

I'm not a big fan of pixel art in terraria tbh.

Like, it's obviously impressive and time consuming. But it doesn't spark anything in me

[radiant loom]

me neither, unless its like stained glass windows with images on them

[lament briar]

There... Is so much here to absorb.

[mint imp]

Well, that's not pixel art for the sake of pixel art

It's used for the themes and decoration of a build

[radiant loom]

yeah

[lament briar]

I'm assuming though pixel art leads to actually designing art you could use for creating mods.

[near mango]

It is simply just another fun medium to work with the limitations of either in-game or map view pixel art as the style. Just like other forms of building, it is just yet another medium the game offers

[lament briar]

I used pixel art for comics.

And failed miserably after twenty comics lol.

[near mango]

Just like how some players enjoy working with wiring

[proper ivy]

Here's my main spawn, the place you first see when you join.

[radiant loom]

joey you joined terraria discord on terrarias birthday lol

[lament briar]

Okay, seriously... I need you to create High Hrothgar.

My take is that you have to lock the player into the path, so they are forced to climb all 7,000 steps to the top.

Everybody, go to @proper ivy profile!

[proper ivy]

Here's a bit of my Hell builds.

[lament briar]

Just joking lol.

[proper ivy]

Lol

[lament briar]

Seriously, that mountain... The climb...

[proper ivy]

My buddy made this for me about 12 years ago for me back on PS3, I still have his custom dungeon in my world, lol.

[lament briar]

When you create a server, is there a way to modify a code that prevents players from destroying a specific block?

[mint imp]

It's like a 8 minute climb.

[near mango]

Server plugins can enable tile protection, yes

[lament briar]

Oh, psh. High Hrothgar needs to be doubled that easily lol.

[proper ivy]

You need mods, but the old PS3 trick was to just disable autosave and exit without saving.

[lament briar]

T, let me pick your brain about something... For a moment?

[mint imp]

Lore wise maybe. But in base Skyrim?
It's about 8-10 minutes

Maybe less

[near mango]

huh

[lament briar]

Lol could you imagine a Dragonborn plug-in? And if the Dragonborn isn't camping out, then that mountain isn't big enough lol.

[lament briar]

I want him to quit halfway up, start a family, lose them all to bandits, hunt them down, and realize he's actually only 10% of the total way there lol.

[lament briar]

Sorry, I was going to ask...

Random question that pertains to it... Have you played Super Mario World for SNES?

[proper ivy]

Doesn't take long with the right wings

[lament briar]

That's why we enclose the path with painted lizard blocks.

You commit fully to High Hrothgar.

[near mango]

smw is a good game ye, namely one of the more enjoyable 2d mario games in terms of movement for kaizo opportunities imo

[lament briar]

You remember those "!" switches and the palaces where you find them?

[near mango]

yea

[lament briar]

I was thinking about a multiplayer action map with all of the team blocks.

But I hate how easy they are to break.

I loved the idea of team blocks being toggles and only beneficial to the team that they're on.

Brb

[near mango]

doable with server plugins

[proper ivy]

I remember servers back in the old days using server protection mods but there were “ways” around it…

[lament briar]

... Okay... Could you have purple players walk through purple blocks using server plug-ins?

[near mango]

would be more of a modded thing than server plugins to give that kind of functionality

[proper ivy]

You can fly above the protection and just spam drop sand that falls into the protected areas and nobody can remove it.

[lament briar]

I'm leaning less to that and more towards preventing block destruction lol.

There's something... Intriguing about giving players their respective large gems and having them choose what to use them for.

The idea of losing them by leaving them, or dying and dropping them, fascinates me.

[near mango]

preventing different teams from breaking specific blocks is doable with server plugins but allowing players to just walk through blocks outright would be much more jank to do in vanilla

[lament briar]

Yeah... But why would you do that lol.

[proper ivy]

Uhhhh.. people be dicks, lol.

[lament briar]

We can skip that lol.

I like the idea that the people base has a purple gate blocking all other players.

I could imagine one team cheesing off everybody and their fortress just getting surrounded...

[rugged wedge]

i wish team blocks had some purpose to them tbh

[near mango]

team blocks are niche for pixel art usage, as for their general texture they uh, work for solar panels

some other tech build usecases too, cyberpunk as well

but past that not much

[rugged wedge]

how do they look on the map compared to gemspark?

or just painted blocks

[lament briar]

They added a new set called "dull team player blocks"...

[rugged wedge]

is there even a point to those

ive never seen team blocks used

i doubt id see dull team blocks

[junior ridge]

I'm working on making a house for my Dryad. I decided to do what I did before and have it be a giant tree, but instead of using an already existing one I'm making an entirely new one since there isn't one near spawn.

I'm doing the leaves right now, and I've been trying for about an hour now but I just can't get the outline to look like the living trees do.
https://imgur.com/a/vQvj2Rp

[rugged wedge]

i would personally use black painted aetherium brick for a solar panel

big fan of how aetherium brick looks when painted

[near mango]

this build here is the best example of team block usage imo #terraria-creations message

[rugged wedge]

oh wow, took me a second to notice

[junior ridge]

I noticed that the leaves of living trees have some lumps in them, but when I tried recreating that it just felt too lumpy to me

[rugged wedge]

i needed to see an example of a solar panel to really see how good (but niche) of a use it is lol

[near mango]

in general solarpunk as a style is something that barely anyone does or talk about, but when someone does do it, they do it fantastically

it's a style i have been interested in learning myself but just haven't got around to the project ideas in mind for it yet

[lament briar]

The team player blocks are on the top of each column... The dull blocks are on the base and underside lol.

[rugged wedge]

literally never heard of it before right now tbh

[near mango]

nature-tech focused aesthetic is a quick way to sum it up

[rugged wedge]

im trying to build my first cyberpunk build on tewwawia (also itll be my biggest build) and maybe i should try to pivot to that

[near mango]

which is where a lot of sustainable energy sources come into play such as solar panels, wind turbines, etc

[rugged wedge]

make it so finally someone does the style bad 😓

big fan of a living wood candle as just sort of... a thing

like microscope

ive used it as like a cash register

[lament briar]

You might not have come across it because team player blocks are sold by the traveling merchant.

[rugged wedge]

i know of team blocks

its just that ive never heard of solarpunk or of anyone using team blocks

[lament briar]

I retract my statement then lol.

[rugged wedge]

its like a little cash register

i wonder if there were any better things to use for that

it needed to be smaller so i couldnt use like a bamboo candle, though i did consider it

maybe having a switch attatched to an echo coated block?

[sinful girder]

https://imgur.com/a/AvorY6w

I finished another portrait

[rugged wedge]

kinda reminds me of kirara with the star eyes

[lament briar]

@rugged wedge , this is a good example.

The solar panels.

[sinful girder]

I was going for a slightly anime-ish/more stylized look for her so yay

[lament briar]

@mint imp , you might like this build too.

[rugged wedge]

make the stylist and mechanic cute too pls 🙏 🙏

literally the only 2 portraits i care about

idk what it is about the stylist one but shes so pretty

[spring kiln]

How to build in 3d

[sinful girder]

I think whether they'll look cute or not would depend on what your definition of cute is

[rugged wedge]

theres a guide in pins

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HZ8BWj4OWoK5OOytKpJA9MuKWUKQVTxkEQ8FyLiEbJ8/edit?usp=sharing

biggest thing is actuators and walls

[spring kiln]

Thank you

[rugged wedge]

i love that princess portrait already

[mint imp]

Pretty nice

[spring kiln]

So far I only know that 3d building needs different shades

[mint imp]

I remember doing a triangle frame build once

[rugged wedge]

like an A frame house?

it feels like thats every other house where i live lol

[lament briar]

My goal is to add this to a mushroom biome.

The guide and mushroom can live in peace...

[lament briar]

But I wanted something that the guide could call his own.

[mint imp]

I tend to maximize the number of NPC slots in my builds

Is practical

[lament briar]

For the arms dealer, you can stick an ammo box in that blocked off area to the left.

[lament briar]

Agreed lol.

[sinful girder]

https://imgur.com/a/sMnWKUt

I think I might as well show the guide npc portrait i did

I don't like it that much tho

[rugged wedge]

reminds me of todoroki from mha bc of the scar

[sinful girder]

Instead of his mom giving it to him though it's terraria's playerbase /j

[rugged wedge]

i guess it does make sense

[lament briar]

I know it's a scar... But it looks like shading... Like he's hiding.

It looks great.

[rugged wedge]

we do drop him in lava to progress

i like the current guide but it also doesnt look much like his sprite

[mint imp]

God that's so fucking cool I used to be flowing

Now I'm just wassssheeed

[lament briar]

What?

[sinful girder]

Reminds me i actually screwed up and gave him an extra finger in the portrait but I kept it in anyways because I think it'd be a funny subtle nod to the whole "Guide = WoF" thing

[mint imp]

The way the spooky wood in the foreground turns into the background brick for the floor transition

[lament briar]

There's... A sickly, sweet innocence to him. I can't put my finger on it.

[rugged wedge]

holy shit, is he the author of the journals

[sinful girder]

Yeah the Guide was actually Stan's twin brother all this time trust me /j

[spring kiln]

This is so freaking complicated, I have been building for 7 years this shi so hard for me

[sinful girder]

Agreed

The hair I drew for him there I especially felt like I could do better

[mint imp]

Yeah, it's 3d. In a 2d game

It's gonna be stupid and complicated

[rugged wedge]

i was more talking about the current portrait

i like that portrait tho even if it isnt perfect compared to the guide

he looks a little 💅

[sinful girder]

Oh you meant the official one

My bad

[rugged wedge]

i wasnt clear tbh so its not your fault

[lament briar]

Oh my goodness I didn't want to say that!

[lament briar]

But seriously, I actually love the androgynous look.

[rugged wedge]

[lament briar]

I think it's fitting.

[sinful girder]

Thanks!

[rugged wedge]

sorry, more on the stylist

[lament briar]

Especially since he spends his entire time studying, researching, helping...

[rugged wedge]

i didnt care for her mcuh before the portrait

[lament briar]

Avoid the direct eye contact!

[sinful girder]

I havent drawn the stylist yet
But I did draw the mechanic like once in a short comic

[sinful girder]

https://imgur.com/a/JtXP2Vj

[rugged wedge]

i will save her from the tinkerer

hate that guy

[near mango]

stylist has always been one of my favourite npcs, great use for vanity & in particular my consistent favourite design wise with strong designs for her regular & shimmered variants.

[lament briar]

But... They're in love.

[rugged wedge]

i just kinda made my character how i liked on creation and didnt change it tbh

[lament briar]

It's literally like the scene from Shrek lol.

[near mango]

plenty terraria community artists also have great depictions of the stylist too

plus of course crowno's portraits are fantastic too

[lament briar]

Also, I feel like she could say that to the cyborg.

[rugged wedge]

ill check those out when i get the chance fs!

[near mango]

well crowno's are the official ones

lol

he made every portrait

[rugged wedge]

oohhhhh

i see

[lament briar]

XD

[rugged wedge]

i thought it was like this situation
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2434616874

[lament briar]

Crowno is so good, you don't even realize it lol.

[rugged wedge]

eugh, i hate looking on the steam workshop

occasionally i just get flashbanged by some like freaky dryad or zoologist pack

[lament briar]

Do you think that the Kwad Racer Drone should hover?

I feel like having the jump button used for hovering would be good...

And then you can just tilt when it's in hover-mode.

[rugged wedge]

yeah

[obsidian vault]

WAAAAAH GIVE ME STARBOUND DEVELOPMENT

[rugged wedge]

using it now is a little annoying

[vagrant steeple]

yeah, its very annoying to use on mobile, especially since I make and test farms, I needed to see how well they perform, so most of the time, I had to place a landing pad in the middle of the farm just so I can view it in its entirety while its operating, and since Im on mobile, its very difficult to control

[lament briar]

That isn't Starbound lol...

It seems nice though. I've only found two builds that would look nice from Starbound to terraria.

[lament briar]

I was kind of wishing that the Kwad Racer could be upgraded into one of those RC cars that convert...

Kind of like an Inspector Gadget vehicle that transforms with one press of a button.

I never even imagined the wall driving part before.

I think what throws me off though...

Can a drone be smaller than a standard RC car?

[sinful girder]

https://imgur.com/a/qRDSWx3

Gave a character I like (the Guide) flowers :3

[lament briar]

Yeah... He's definitely adorable.

Now draw Red holding flowers that someone gave him!

anyone else have a better resolution of this are a source or something?

def not almightly tho

im just some bitch

[vagrant steeple]

any summoner main are almighty

[rugged wedge]

im doing ammoless ranger rn despite being a summoner main

[vagrant steeple]

so u only have like, 3(?) options?

[rugged wedge]

5

2 phm and 3 hm

[vagrant steeple]

rough

[rugged wedge]

barrel launcher will make it easier

but wof and ml will be rough

piranha gun and harpoon

i guess it would be the other way

[radiant loom]

hmm

i might need some more lights on the right side (or less on the left)

a lil bit of both probably

[formal bronze]

yeah i like my lights more scarce

[rugged wedge]

nah, make every open space some light source

make it so the npcs are living in the sun

[formal bronze]

spam stone candelabras and chandeliers

[rugged wedge]

however much light you think you need, double it…

[radiant loom]

fair enough, i just like it when you can see the edges of torchlight yknow

[rugged wedge]

…then quadruple that

ugliest light source you can find

[radiant loom]

i'd have to rename the desert to flashbang dunes or something

Terraria Wiki

Light sources

Light sources are items, tiles, pets, and projectiles that produce light. Some are brighter than others and produce varying colors of light. Note that several weapons and armor types also generate light, but are not listed on this page. The tile ranges listed within this page are based on default settings, with no buffs or debuffs…

[radiant loom]

w light sources and great decor when turned off too

[formal bronze]

yeah i used them in a cave recently

outdated skyblock altar

[rugged wedge]

i use like living wood candles for any contraption i need

[radiant loom]

the stone dresser and table have been part of my pillar designs lately

[formal bronze]

oooh

i've been breaking up walls with stone work benches

[radiant loom]

living wood candles is like a good 50% of light sources in one of my worlds LOL

i’m on phone rn so it’s easier to just /wiki

[radiant loom]

one of my favorite tiles in the game is the top middle of the lamp post except down one
its a little cross and if you paint it brown and put it over sails or dynasty wall it looks GREAT for like tatami wall

bruh this lightning is crazy outside

[rugged wedge]

i assume you’ll be using it more when they add the tile cropping and floating furniture they showed in the feb state of the game

[radiant loom]

YUHHH

YES

EXCITED

[rugged wedge]

actually gonna be THE biggest building update ever

i wonder how they’ll implement it

[radiant loom]

yeah who knows

[rugged wedge]

a part of me assumes it’ll be locked to journey

i hope not

[vagrant steeple]

no

I dont think so

[radiant loom]

i think its gonna be some sort of copy paste wand

[rugged wedge]

like tedit

[vagrant steeple]

yoraizor is in grand design so its likely that he pitched that idea to everyone else

[rugged wedge]

maybe post ml

[radiant loom]

probably

[vagrant steeple]

also unlikely

[rugged wedge]

i believe yorai is a female (?)

[vagrant steeple]

its such a massive update for builders that its very unlikely to lock it behind end game

wizard?

Wingardium Leviosa

[rugged wedge]

probably honestly

he doesn’t have much use as of now i feel like

[radiant loom]

speaking of grand design i hope they saw the suggestion about a grand design type item for painting

[vagrant steeple]

true

[radiant loom]

wizards best use is to shimmer and look like he's from final fantasy

[vagrant steeple]

its quite annoying having to carry a lot of paint in the inventory

[rugged wedge]

you buy like the 2 items from him and never talk to him again

paint is ass rn

[radiant loom]

im bad at organizing paints too i need it

[rugged wedge]

they NEED to overhaul paint

[radiant loom]

🎨

give us this tool

[vagrant steeple]

cant with the current game engine

[formal bronze]

hey one or two of my magic playthroughs needed a restock on potions

[rugged wedge]

i just farm biome mimics for that

[radiant loom]

they could make a grand design paint tool but yeah they cant change paints iirc

[formal bronze]

crazy

[radiant loom]

dont they have 1 paint type left tho?

[rugged wedge]

gets me both potions

[formal bronze]

illuminant left a slot yes

[vagrant steeple]

it wouldve been nice if u can stack paint

[rugged wedge]

i’ve heard adding more grand design type tools is like pretty much off the table

bc of how spaghetti the code is

[radiant loom]

is red orange a bad suggestion

[rugged wedge]

i personally think we need another yellow

[formal bronze]

when we could have broken deep sky blue back, yes

gold

redigit cooked the game code in the early days italian style

actually yellow sucks youre right

we don’t need more blues tbh

pre 1.4 bugged deep sky blue

[radiant loom]

its green

but

a good green

[rugged wedge]

like green - blue - purple is so over saturated rn

[radiant loom]

blue got spoiled for paints

warm colors got shafted

pink red orange yellow... lime green teal cyan sky blue blue purple violet

[near mango]

hey that's my image

[rugged wedge]

and the creator is red

yup lol

i have a pic of every paint on waterfall walls somewhere in here

here's a bigger picture from mr bones

[rugged wedge]

found it

[near mango]

This is something that has been pitched to Re-Logic many times over the years. Met with a "Terraria 2 kind of suggestion" response

[rugged wedge]

eugh

i dont get it

[radiant loom]

if thats what deep sky blue looked like still i would be using that constantly

[rugged wedge]

how is it terraria 2 :(

painting is so bad rn

[near mango]

Was a bug naturally, would be nice as a standalone paint

[radiant loom]

ye

[rugged wedge]

doesnt even work in void bag

[near mango]

Likely leans more into technical limitations

shrug

[rugged wedge]

i guess

[radiant loom]

is it possible to change paint colors with texture packs

[rugged wedge]

i kinda doubt it (?)

from what i understand, each paint just hue shifts the block or smth

so it’s not a new texture

[radiant loom]

yeahhh

[rugged wedge]

but i could be wrong

thelp or tchat might have better answers

people there could know more

[radiant loom]

its fine not a big deal

i gtg anyway 😔

[rugged wedge]

or tgd would be the best

[hushed badge]

The current implementation of painting is limited for code reasons

Altho realisticially I assume that Re-Logic could def fix it if they just invest some time in it

Heck I specifically remember a mod about any paint

[karmic blaze]

not to self make things small

[slow dew]

1.3 mods were goated

[glossy sail]

ive pretty much finished the layout of my house, i just need to get building materials and the thing is i dont even know how half the blocks look, any tips?

[young bridge]

if you don't know how some blocks look you should try exploring your options
look for blocks you've never seen or interacted with before and think they could be interesting to use. who knows? maybe it has a really cool furniture set or walls that fit a really nice specific texture you like
its also a good idea to experiment with paint, you could use a block's texture while maintaining colour consistency, which lets you use more blocks for different things

[glossy sail]

Im going for a medieval-ish style so im gonna be using mostly living wood, normal wood and stone and its variants

[young bridge]

you should look for different wood variants and bricks

[glossy sail]

any recommendations?

[young bridge]

mahogany wood, ebonwood, (both painted brown), stone bricks and slabs, dungeon brick walls painted grey or brown depending on where you want to use them

[vagrant steeple]

ebonwood, mahogany, the fckng snow tree

forgor the name

[young bridge]

boreal

[vagrant steeple]

ye boreal

oh oh

my favorite wood

[young bridge]

please paint boreal brown, without paint it looks like ass outside the tundra

[vagrant steeple]

large bamboo

[young bridge]

YES

agreed

use bamboo and large bamboo too

[vagrant steeple]

paint it brown and its just mwah

chefs kiss

[young bridge]

yep

[vagrant steeple]

W wood

[young bridge]

i should use it more idk why i keep opting for shit like fences for my pillars

ash wood too

living wood walls are nice as well

[glossy sail]

ive honestly got no clue how to do any of this

practice makes perfect though

[spring kiln]

What kind of palladium column is this

[young bridge]

bamboo and mahogany wood are both from the jungle, boreal from the tundra, bricks and slabs are crafted, i recommend getting a heavy assembler for access to more recipes, ebonwood is from the corruption, dungeon bricks from the dungeon, although later on you get access to materials that let you craft all 3 colors of dungeon brick, ash wood from the outer ends of the underworld, and living wood and leaf walls are crafted at a living loom, usually found in the huge living trees.

paint and all the appropriate tools are from the painter NPC.

[vagrant steeple]

I lowkey wanna decorate the dream catcher

but its gonna be annoying to do in phm

cuz conveyor belts

[austere rivet]

it uses both the block and the wall

they just hammered the block to allow the edge of the wall to be visible

[viral venture]

https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?attachments/capture-2023-07-14-20_43_53-png.414971/ i found this online can anyone tell me what block the roof is made of? 🤔

[lyric cave]

thats bueitiful

[viral venture]

nevermind i found out it's dynasty shingles from travelling merchant

[lament briar]

Good morning!

[lyric cave]

morning

[vital kestrel]

morning

[mild escarp]

No matter how many worlds i make. I am never happy with them. I think i make my builds too big and not very pretty looking..?

[vital kestrel]

can you show your build

[quasi crane]

the blue stuff? blue dynasty shingles, from travelling merchant

[lament briar]

It's easy to get overwhelmed...

[quasi crane]

oh you had already found out, oops!

[lament briar]

But you have to have a clear idea of what you're aiming for and have patience.

I had a bunch of worlds that had extra builds, but right now, I have a personal world in which the "perfect" buildings exist...

And I have an adventure map I'm creating.

There are a few other worlds I have that are created by others... I use them as inspiration.

I'm sure you are familiar with Khaios... He released a pylons map, a golf map, and a customized build map lol.

The only other one I have is a Hogwarts map that I helped give input on.

[barren bison]

Any design suggestion for Old One’s arena?

how long did that rake you to make?

seashells and colorful trees

and build something like a modern town

[glossy sail]

i hate placing background walls its so horrid

[young bridge]

Smart cursor?

[glossy sail]

no, its with precise placement that it anoys me

anyone know what wall i can place inside this little attic area? im looking for 1 to fill out but dont quite know what looks best

[proper ivy]

Changed the position of the sky islands on this build.

[austere rivet]

if you dont want walls poking out of it you can consider making the exterior one block thicker

[proper ivy]

I have an example build I can show...

[austere rivet]

or you could use fences

[radiant loom]

ya got the painter i see, try brown painted shadewood wall (or negative painted...) or you can try a combination of bricks & vertical wood walls (such as ebonwood wall) / wooden beam

[proper ivy]

This work?

[glossy sail]

im utterly shocked at how people can build this

[spring kiln]

You can try this kind of design

[spring kiln]

Just add some support beams

[proper ivy]

Hopefully these builds can inspire some ideas.

[spring kiln]

Like shadewood walls painted brown

And rich mahogany walls for horizontal beams also painted brown

[proper ivy]

Remember, you don't need to use a single wall. You can get creative and spice it up.

[proper ivy]

That's mine

[glossy sail]

i know

[young bridge]

May i?

[spring kiln]

Spooky wood is the best

[proper ivy]

This should give more ideas too.

[young bridge]

Debatable, But its great for detailing, no doubt.

[spring kiln]

Okay now at this point we're just flexing outr builds

[proper ivy]

Yeah lol

If you need to ask about a specific block wall I used just lmk

[glossy sail]

how do u get those crates?

[young bridge]

Fishing

[spring kiln]

Will this work

[proper ivy]

Terraria has so many blocks and walls, and the fact that you can paint them means there's near limitless possibilities.

[spring kiln]

I FORGOT to add detail on the foundation of the red house

[glossy sail]

how long have you been building for?

[spring kiln]

7

Years

[glossy sail]

holy shit

[spring kiln]

I still don't know how to build in 3d

[proper ivy]

My world is 12+ years old.

[radiant loom]

hey so i rebuilt your roof so i can test some things out for you before you want to commit to building them

lol

its smaller but

[spring kiln]

I see this guy has potential and is determined in building

[glossy sail]

it took me like 20 minutes almost to just build that roof

howd you do that so quick

[spring kiln]

It takes practice

[proper ivy]

Here's a partial map screenshot of my world that is 12+ years old, originating from PS3. Builds still under construction.

[radiant loom]

i mean yeah i have been playing this game since i was 5 years old it's engrained in my brain

[glossy sail]

is there a way to get rid of the walls poking out on the side?

[spring kiln]

You can cover them

[radiant loom]

echo walls but probably not what ur lookin for

[spring kiln]

With another block

[radiant loom]

theres a better idea imo

[glossy sail]

if i make another layer like the outer one will it be seperated like they are rn?

[glossy sail]

a

[radiant loom]

if you stretch it out, it looks like roof is made of logs

[glossy sail]

alr ill try that

[proper ivy]

Looks good so far, you can always add in some torches or other sprites.

[spring kiln]

That's the same design he built

I just covered the overlapping walls with blocks

Not the small roof

[radiant loom]

is this good lol

[mild escarp]

seeing your builds makes me realize that my builds are too big and not very well thought out...

[spring kiln]

That's the usual design I go for when making those kind of roofs lmao

[radiant loom]

ash wood and large bamboo are too good to pass up

[spring kiln]

It's good bro

[radiant loom]

but if not available i would use ebonwood wall and regular wood wall

just for the simple vibes

[spring kiln]

I'll stick with rich mahogany, ebobwood/shadewood

[proper ivy]

Anyone got any ideas of what I should replace the spikes with? Not really feeling them tbh.

[radiant loom]

try sharp spike block

[barren bison]

nccc, the sky islands reminds me of Chained Isles from Shadow Slave

[radiant loom]

its almost the same thing except a little bit of a different look

[spring kiln]

Use the new gothic block

[proper ivy]

ohhh

[spring kiln]

I think the spike only goes down

I've tried it once

[proper ivy]

Gothic block? Have not used it yet.

[spring kiln]

You can try it, it's veryy thin and has a spike thing on the end

[radiant loom]

ehh dont use sharp spike

sharp spike is good for rectangular shapes

[radiant loom]

🔥

[glossy sail]

i used haywalls but i might switch for the ones you did, also what are those white-ish walls inside?

[spring kiln]

You might wanna try to use gothic block

But it won't have a sharp spike on the end to the left and right

[radiant loom]

i said them earlier :) negative painted shadewood wall
i've never seen it used before but i LOVE them

[karmic blaze]

u guys sharing roof designs?

[radiant loom]

[karmic blaze]

[spring kiln]

[karmic blaze]

that's fair roofs are hard

mind if I share some

Shingles can be a good way to start

[radiant loom]

what's a good desert town trope i can put in here somewhere

[proper ivy]

I like this with the gothic brick. @spring kiln

i think ill just add a window in the center and leave it as is

It works well doesn’t it

[proper ivy]

Yes it does

[spring kiln]

I'm trying to make a new dungeon design using gothic bricks

Fr

[glossy sail]

what are these blocks on the roofs? i swear ive been looking for something like that but i have no clue what theyre called

[karmic blaze]

a little crane system carrying bricks or crates

[karmic blaze]

that's just iron platforms painted lime u can use any platform tbh

[glossy sail]

i have one iron bar to my name

welp back to the caves

[karmic blaze]

try experimenting with the platforms u have

[radiant loom]

btw the main bulk of the roof is made of dynasty shingle blocks, and all that wall is meteorite wall painted

[quasi crane]

needs some more red banners

[vital kestrel]

these are some amazing roof

the shape is so good

[spring kiln]

A special house for this guy

[vital kestrel]

wth am i looking at 3d in my 2d game? blasphemy

[glossy sail]

i placed stone platforms and i cant paint them, is this only stone or are all platforms unpaintable?

[vital kestrel]

idk terraria mobile have a button with a profile. its even show number

[slow dew]

stone is just very hard to distinguish paint unless you use a deep paint variant

[glossy sail]

im using brown paint and i dont even have the option to paint it

[spring kiln]

This is my first time building in 3d

Someone in this chat sent me a guide to 3d building

[slow dew]

wdym "don't have the option"?

[vital kestrel]

dauim thats really good

[glossy sail]

im hovering my mouse over it, im clickign and its not being painted

[spring kiln]

For years of my building journey I never learned how to build in 3d

[slow dew]

you're using the right tool correct?

[glossy sail]

im so stupid

[slow dew]

paint brush for blocks

[glossy sail]

i got used to roller so i just asumed instantly its for all blocks 🤦‍♂️

[vagrant steeple]

whats a good block thats looks like white concrete when painted?

shouldnt look too bright

[spring kiln]

Ebonstone

I use that a lot

[vagrant steeple]

Im tryna renovate this entire area and turn it into a cabin in the woods type looking shit

[spring kiln]

Ebonstone and crimstone

[vagrant steeple]

not ebonstone

I didnt like how the lines in it looked in the end

what do you guys think? Keep the stone platforms as is or change them to brown

[spring kiln]

As a completionist, 1 mana star is triggering me

[vagrant steeple]

stone

kinda feels like too much brown tho idrk, both l,ook good imo

[slow dew]

do the particles they produce get in the way of builds at all?

[spring kiln]

It's like hay

[spring kiln]

No

It's just like sandstone brick and pearlstone brick

[vagrant steeple]

I dont really build too much so Im not to savvy with the new blocks

[slow dew]

stucco is a very old block

[vagrant steeple]

yo lowkey, white painted sno couldve worked if not for the edges of it

[vagrant steeple]

how to make?

Ill see how it looks later

[slow dew]

silt + stone

[vagrant steeple]

ah

[spring kiln]

There are 3 colors

With 3 diff designs

[slow dew]

for gray stucco, prolly the most concrete looking one

[untold rose]

what’s the sand for

[vagrant steeple]

I just finished extractinating all of my silt while building

[vagrant steeple]

underground desert biome

[spring kiln]

There's also green and red

I like those

[slow dew]

all of em require silt unfortunately

[vagrant steeple]

how do u do this btw?

oh that block

yeah no

[slow dew]

interesting

[vagrant steeple]

I prefer if it doesnt really have that much obvious lines in it

[spring kiln]

Clay and silt spreads corruption

[vagrant steeple]

why is there no stone bomb

[spring kiln]

Where phrog

I wanna see his progress

[glossy sail]

ive made very little progress

i want to add this overhang thing on the left side.. but as you can see.. (please tell me you see thevision)

[slow dew]

have you tried living wood block?

[vagrant steeple]

yo

u might be cooking

[spring kiln]

We definitely do see the vision

[glossy sail]

somethings kinda off

i think ill leave it as is

onto the dreaded part.. the tower

yo @vagrant steeple i was just messing around with stuff that looks like stone bricks but maybe white sand would be good?

[vagrant steeple]

nah, the edges are way too jagged

living wood also kinda sucks

[slow dew]

shame

[vagrant steeple]

what blocks can blend with silly balloon?

[slow dew]

iirc smooth marble blends with just about every block

[spring kiln]

Idk HAHAHAH I just thought one of my builds could work

It's just looks like a flamingo

[glossy sail]

i was about to say "were you building a flamingo"

[slow dew]

one I also peeped was titanstone block

[vagrant steeple]

not phm

[spring kiln]

Idk how do make a roof like that, only the ones going up

[spring kiln]

I had the vision, so I added it a leg

Gosh I hate building on mobile

[vagrant steeple]

quite interesting that the game just drops me on the highest point in the ocean when using the shell

[slow dew]

yup, conch really has been bugged lately

also the cheat sheet I've been using is outdated so I missed office blocks

those may be good

[vagrant steeple]

yeah Imma have to mess with those as well

[slow dew]

the website itself is kinda broken, been waiting for an update for a while but I doubt it's happening soon

[spring kiln]

You play on mobile don't you

[vagrant steeple]

ye

[glossy sail]

i looked for reference photos and found these blocks, does anyone know what they are?

[slow dew]

but still very useful even in its current state

[slow dew]

accent stone slab

[spring kiln]

You can do this

[slow dew]

i use accent stone slabs too much probably..

[spring kiln]

I overuse ebonstone

[glossy sail]

no clue how you do that

whats that block thats more inside than the others?

[spring kiln]

Don't try to figure it out, I used a hard mode block to get that thin layer

[glossy sail]

ah

[glossy sail]

i think ill just do this

[wise bane]

palladium columns

[slow dew]

I'd say my block palette is most often: stone slabs, accent stone slabs, pearlstone brick, martian plating, ebonwood/ash wood, dynasty wood, and tin/copper plating

[spring kiln]

Marble columns won't work if you try that

But maybe granite

Doesn't work

[slow dew]

rich mahogany?

[slow dew]

ah

the issue with not being able to blend properly

[vagrant steeple]

wait, heath, since ur already here

the mob switch shouldnt affect traveling merchant spawns right?

[slow dew]

it might actually, I don't have a ton of experience building mob switches as I've never really had a need for them, but if an NPC can't spawn in then I don't see how traveling merchant could either

[vagrant steeple]

fck

aight, ty

[rugged wedge]

i haven’t tried it but gothic brick could work as a palladium column replacement

[young bridge]

i have, and i'm fairly certain it doesn't create that dent in palladium columns do

[rugged wedge]

i knew they had something like the smaller silhouette that palladium does

there’s also living wood from the wand though this only works on the right half of builds

and walls

[glossy sail]

are those stone slabs painted gray or white?

i really cant tell

also quite unsure how the gray blocks are seperated

[rugged wedge]

it’s ebonstone brick painted gray

[rugged wedge]

then there’s stone accent slabs

[rugged wedge]

sandstone brick also works too, very minimal difference in texture

[spring kiln]

This guy is so cute

Can I keep him
