terraria-creations

[glossy sail]

do they connect without accent stone slabs?

im using plain normal stone slabs and theyre connecting

[rugged wedge]

yes

[glossy sail]

fuckkk

[livid sphinx]

i agree

[rugged wedge]

accent slabs are unique and they don’t connect to anything but other accent slabs

[glossy sail]

guess i gotta kill myself a few times

[rugged wedge]

hi sala

just like shimmer the stone slabs and make them accent slabs

[livid sphinx]

hello, user

[rugged wedge]

i haven’t seen you in here before

only in help

[spring kiln]

Third time seeing a player that's actually interested in building

[karmic blaze]

use gothic blocks to achieve the same in pre hard mode

[glossy sail]

wait how do i collect echo mist?

[rugged wedge]

it’s the graveyard mist

so you need 7 gravestones

kinda hate that requirement tbh

it would be nice if you could either craft gravestones or just lower it to 1 gravestone

that way you don’t have the graveyard effect when you wanna craft

[slow dew]

or a way to toggle graveyards via wirimg

[glossy sail]

they should add a graveyard event

[slow dew]

daytime blood moon?

[rugged wedge]

maybe just make a better storage system

[glossy sail]

i was thinking more like a pumkin moon-sort of event but with skeletons and maybe some sorts of a reaper as a mini-boss

[rugged wedge]

like magic storage but vanilla

[karmic blaze]

don't we have chest crafting tho

[rugged wedge]

yeah but storing stuff sucks

like you need like 10 chests taking up space

then when you need something it’s impossible to find unless you sort your stuff

[karmic blaze]

true but normally you don't need as much just make a second creative area

[spring kiln]

Update on the build

@glossy sail

[glossy sail]

i removed the entire tower because i used stone slabs and i had to use accented

i also went to eat so there was a pause on the progress

[austere rivet]

the humble smooth marble block

relogic needs to tell us why that one block sticks to all blocks meant to not stick to other blocks

well

all*

[spring kiln]

Keep updating us

[rugged wedge]

does it still do that?

[austere rivet]

yes

and honestly its a good thing

[rugged wedge]

i though that it was removed with dynasty wood acting like an accent

[glossy sail]

please tell me you guys see the vision

[wise bane]

maybe replace the accent brick?

[glossy sail]

with what?

[wise bane]

palladium column i guess

[spring kiln]

He's not in hard mode yet

[wise bane]

try using walls

[karmic blaze]

use gothic bricks

[glossy sail]

no offense but i find them kinda ugly

i could try maybe

nevermind i dont have bones

[karmic blaze]

time to farm but they work they give the same effect as palladium columns

just remember to paint it

[glossy sail]

where could i farm them other than dungeon?

i haventkilled skeletron yet

[karmic blaze]

nowhere else

[wise bane]

kill skeletron

u dont need to kill skeletron

use eoc or beehive glitch

[karmic blaze]

there's a glitch?

[glossy sail]

im gonna go for bees knees from queen bee then skeletron

ive only killed eye of cthulu and eater of worlds

[wise bane]

just run molten fury

[spring kiln]

Decent

[glossy sail]

is there a block that seperates itself from other blocks

but not accent stone slab

[spring kiln]

Accent blocks

[karmic blaze]

technically dynasty wood of you don't count them as accent

[wise bane]

dynasty wood got gutted

it blends

[karmic blaze]

noooo

[spring kiln]

Coper/tin plating

I don't know if you'll like that one

[radiant loom]

why is not blending so beloved

genuine question

[glossy sail]

so close yet so far

the image is still sending

holy shit my internet is so slow its justt 840 kb

[rugged wedge]

this is great

maybe not as close to palladium as i might want but it having the same shape is really nice

[spring kiln]

Try white paint

[rugged wedge]

that is white paint

[spring kiln]

I thought it's gray

Gothic brick is a little too dark

[slow dew]

it's just nice, is basically all I can say about it. The blending can ruin a certain look of a block, I wish it was more consistent with what blends with what but I do enjoy having both options

tin/copper plating, living wood leaves, clay and dirt, just having the ability to separate these things

adds a layer of detail

[radiant loom]

got it

[slow dew]

i am mid move still so haven't been able to check the new update, I am praying that they didn't ruin vanity/blindfolds for me

[rugged wedge]

everything should connect by default with a way to unconnect it

[rugged wedge]

.6?

[slow dew]

yes

[rugged wedge]

i dont think so

[slow dew]

I know they took out welding mask tricks which is a shame

[rugged wedge]

ahhh

[slow dew]

i am just hoping that doesn't ALSO apply to blindfold otherwise I would literally cry

[glossy sail]

oh my god i love the look of lviing wood

[slow dew]

can anyone check the blindfold thing rq?

[wise bane]

how does it work

[slow dew]

equip a blindfold and an open faced helmet

[wise bane]

let me see wait

[slow dew]

the blindfold should stay on

[slow dew]

okay thank god, just welding mask it seems then

I'll see if I can also advocate for other accessories like reflective shades and spectre goggles to be added

[rugged wedge]

i like spectre goggles not showing

bc i want to use echo phm

and not have it show if its in my vanity slot

[karmic blaze]

try using a different brick

[slow dew]

they should just add an eye toggle for vanity slots too

[rugged wedge]

that kinda defeats the purpose but 100%

[wise bane]

doesnt show for me somehow

[slow dew]

well defeats the original purpose, people started using them as 2nd accessory slots, relogic stopped that, but after feedback they allowed it again

[rugged wedge]

i guess thats fair

[rugged wedge]

do you have some other eye vanity on

[slow dew]

what helmet are you using?

[wise bane]

right right

had eyepatch on

[wise bane]

prospector

[slow dew]

ah

[rugged wedge]

biggest nitpick ever but i hate how female models have the sleeves cut off

[slow dew]

and skinnier legs 😭

i just want the crop top version of armor without having to change the player sprite itself

[rugged wedge]

make players 100% customizable down to every last pixel

terrible idea

[slow dew]

so far things that do work still should be blindfold and obsidian skull

[wise bane]

those many mannequins must lag alot

lag

[slow dew]

it doesn't for me at least

i haven't released the map publicly

[rugged wedge]

macbooks might blow up

[slow dew]

i also have 200 more around the corner

[rugged wedge]

[wise bane]

the lag could be fixed by just zooming in on weaker devices

[rugged wedge]

im not on a mac

i wont have to deal with that

[wise bane]

i start lagging after like 15~ mannequins

[slow dew]

rough

[wise bane]

macbook neo new meta?

[slow dew]

I'll release a version of the map with signs instead

that'll be easier on lower end devices

[wise bane]

true

[rugged wedge]

sorry sorry
got sidetracked

heres gray brick and also i added negative paint

[wise bane]

negative painted gothic brick could work really well with marble

[rugged wedge]

meh, unless you paint all the marble

tho painting it makes it REALLY bright

[wise bane]

yeah the painted blends alright

but its not really

marble-y

[glossy sail]

no clue how to make the background walls

[rugged wedge]

for just a little flair, gothic isnt that bad

[glossy sail]

someone help me please

[rugged wedge]

do wish it looked a little more... gray

[rugged wedge]

for the tower or house?

[glossy sail]

im probably just gonna go fully stone or slightly mixed stone walls for the tower buit ive gotn o clue with the house

[wise bane]

old thing i had unfurnished

[rugged wedge]

for the tower, some gray painted dungeon brick walls could be nice

[rugged wedge]

not enough jump buttons

[wise bane]

genuinely need bigger scales for mobile

the max size is too small

[wise bane]

this is bad walling actually

dont do this

[rugged wedge]

GRAY PAINT MAKES IT DARKER

[wise bane]

this is peak walling

[rugged wedge]

this is black paint

not shadow

[wise bane]

gothic bricks are NOT fitting into most builds

maybe it can be used in

gothic

builds

[rugged wedge]

black and shadow

[spring kiln]

A church

[glossy sail]

im not talented enough for this unfortunately

[wise bane]

just copy it bro

[glossy sail]

also are you trying to summon the torch god

[wise bane]

its right there

[rugged wedge]

thats why you use dungeon brick walls

[wise bane]

torches were for measurement

[spring kiln]

You don't need talent

[glossy sail]

you overestimate my skills

[rugged wedge]

they mix for you

[wise bane]

noob crutch

[rugged wedge]

sounding like sparky

[wise bane]

im better than sparky

sparky hates all forms of creativity

[rugged wedge]

sparky hates all

[vagrant steeple]

sour

[rugged wedge]

mhm

[vagrant steeple]

how did u do the floor?

[rugged wedge]

where

[vagrant steeple]

tiled floor thingy in ur lab thingy

[rugged wedge]

ohhh

[glossy sail]

im probably just gonna go gray dungeon brick walls

[rugged wedge]

its marble walls

[wise bane]

slightly furnished but i have these?

[vagrant steeple]

Im tryna recreate the cabin in the woods

[rugged wedge]

smooth marble i guess

[glossy sail]

whats that white wall i nthe first photo?

[wise bane]

the one in the kitchen?

[spring kiln]

Black and white painted wall

[vagrant steeple]

especially the scene where the armed forces got murked by all the zombies and shit

[wise bane]

the checkered pattern is boreal painted white and black

[glossy sail]

no the top floor

[wise bane]

the ones below are

iron bricks

[rugged wedge]

map vs in game

[spring kiln]

I think he meant the 2nd floor

[wise bane]

the corner room is iron brick and tin plating

[vagrant steeple]

okay, fck this clanker

[rugged wedge]

just a gap between each wall

[glossy sail]

these

[rugged wedge]

krampus

[wise bane]

krampus horn

[vagrant steeple]

does this not spawn mobs?

[rugged wedge]

sold by painter during christmas

[spring kiln]

That's a good background for early game

[vagrant steeple]

Ig it doesnt matter

[glossy sail]

i gotta wait till christmas for them?

[rugged wedge]

you could change date and time

[spring kiln]

You can change calendar date

[vagrant steeple]

since I think u placed echo coated platforms everywhere

[rugged wedge]

i actually dont know tbh

[wise bane]

these builds omo cus they have basically No furniture

[rugged wedge]

you could use echo coated walls to make it all walled

[vagrant steeple]

that would make the marble walls smaller

[rugged wedge]

no

not echo coated walls

[wise bane]

echo walls do that

[rugged wedge]

only echo walls do that

[wise bane]

not echo coated walls

[radiant loom]

astounding WAIT WHY AM I IN 2021

[vagrant steeple]

ah

[radiant loom]

bruh

[radiant loom]

that literally happens to me every time i open this channel

[vagrant steeple]

ohhhh

I see

[rugged wedge]

also echo coated aquarium or glass blocks do it too

[vagrant steeple]

why?

[rugged wedge]

glass and aquarium naturally cut off the edge of walls

echo coating them doesnt stop that from happening

[vagrant steeple]

ahhh

Ic Ic

[spring kiln]

The heck

[vagrant steeple]

W knowledge

[rugged wedge]

?

looks pretty normal

[vagrant steeple]

W sour

[spring kiln]

I'm trying to copy this

I thought marble walls added those borders

[wise bane]

leave a gap in the middle

[spring kiln]

Genuinely, I thought they changed how they look

[rugged wedge]

if they were blocks it would look like this

[wise bane]

those are walls bro

blocks cant do allat

[spring kiln]

I knowww I just thought they changed how marble wall looks

[rugged wedge]

unsure why aquarium does it but glass does it so this looks normal

accent walls

hear me out

[rugged wedge]

nvm, aquarium blocks are slightly see through so it makes sense

tho echo blocks dont do it despite being transparent

[neat rampart]

What do people normally post here?

Just building?

[radiant loom]

which negative painted chest is the best 👀

[rugged wedge]

anything creative

[spring kiln]

Yea

[neat rampart]

Or can you post spriteworks?

[rugged wedge]

you can post that

[radiant loom]

normally building but sometimes art, sprites, texture packs, etc

[neat rampart]

Alrighty

[spring kiln]

The biome chest

[spring kiln]

Red one

[neat rampart]

So I'm tryna sprite my ocs into terraria rn, this is actually a recreation of one of my spritesheets

[spring kiln]

Dark red

[rugged wedge]

id say like building is the most common
then vanity and sprites

[radiant loom]

im liking the cloud chest actually, it looks like magma

[spring kiln]

How is t edit not possible on mobile

[rugged wedge]

who chlorophyte dyed the sprite

[neat rampart]

He's a cat

So he got green eyes

He has evil fucked up green eyes

[spring kiln]

The red biome chest looks like it has got mythic loot inside of it

[neat rampart]

Anyways how do I speed up the spritesheet making process?

[rugged wedge]

the jellyfish one looks pretty regal

[wise bane]

cloud chest and the furthest chest on the second to last row are the only good ones here

[rugged wedge]

like gold and such

[neat rampart]

I've done it before and it's fucking TERRIBLE

It's so draining

[spring kiln]

Like 5 star weapon in genshin

[wise bane]

idk

[spring kiln]

Wrong reply

[wise bane]

genshin was the monk guy who turned himself into the prison realm

in jjk

[rugged wedge]

ive never sprited before but i would probably overlay like the previous sprite on top

similar to like animation from what i know

and also copying and pasting the sprite would help probably

[spring kiln]

Who?

I'm trying to guess the character

[rugged wedge]

shhhh, i havent gotten that far

im only up to date with the anime

typical jjk fan, i dont read

[wise bane]

bro i told you

[neat rampart]

Man

[wise bane]

its okay this information is NEVER brought up again

and is completely irrelevant

[neat rampart]

I wish I didn't have to compile aseprite to get it for free

Cuz idk how the fuck to compile an app

[rugged wedge]

i feel like half of jjk is this

especially the female characters

[spring kiln]

Where phrog

[radiant loom]

these were the ones i thought weren't too bad

[spring kiln]

What's that 2nd one

[rugged wedge]

cloud

[spring kiln]

I'm so new to the new chest

[rugged wedge]

new furniture from 1.4.5

[wise bane]

still dont know ||uro's and ryus|| domain
SPOILERS FOR CULLING GAMES CHARACTER

[neat rampart]

Love how the cloud chest is floating

[rugged wedge]

never heard of them so oh well

[spring kiln]

Cloud chest is unique

[radiant loom]

i think 5/6 of these are new or retextured in that ss

[wise bane]

got warned of spoilers and still clicked

[rugged wedge]

yeah

lol

[spring kiln]

There's that jellyfish one

[rugged wedge]

i cant blame anyone but myself for getting spoiled

[spring kiln]

There's a jelly fish block isn't it?

[glossy sail]

is there anyway to move her

[rugged wedge]

yeah

[spring kiln]

Also a freaking harpy block

[rugged wedge]

fly meal can hit her

[radiant loom]

i hate the border on the negative water chest but it looks like majoras mask almost

[radiant loom]

wait til day or give her a dif house

[radiant loom]

yes i love that block for roofing

[spring kiln]

Me too

[radiant loom]

or like, those shop overhangs

[rugged wedge]

Above your armor slots is a house icon. Click that, then the NPCs icon, then the house you want them in.

[spring kiln]

Same idea, I use that over shop stands

[spring kiln]

Some carts

Or whatever

[rugged wedge]

i like the skyware chair with the echo coated back

[radiant loom]

yuhhh its all supposed to be rings and gems in there

the boulder chair looks like a giant ring lol

JHEY THE FLOWER GREW

[spring kiln]

I got so used to old blocks to build with idk what the new ones are, especially that thing beside the purple one

[radiant loom]

I GOTTA BLACK PAINT THAT

boulder chair :)

[spring kiln]

I'm still using the chalice

[rugged wedge]

i thought that was a demonite candle

[radiant loom]

what block makes water chest

[radiant loom]

yeah that is

[rugged wedge]

aquarium or its uncraftable

[radiant loom]

wait i dont have aquarium block bruh

[rugged wedge]

water AND a work bench

[spring kiln]

Those water chest that spawn naturally?

Or is water block a new thing

[rugged wedge]

craftable now!!!

[radiant loom]

yeah i meant like, what block is the chest based on cus i thought one got added

yeah its aquarium

[spring kiln]

Finally

[radiant loom]

even if it wasnt craftable its still like the block version oft he chest

[glossy sail]

now how did this happen

[rugged wedge]

there was a hole before and it made it through the hole

[spring kiln]

You defeated your evil biome's boss

[rugged wedge]

and that

[glossy sail]

not talking about the meteorite, its just that i was looking for it for a while and its somehow hidden underground

[spring kiln]

Try making a hole near your house

[radiant loom]

AQUARIUM BLOCK AINT IN MY ALL ITEMS MAP

broo

how u craft it...

[spring kiln]

Try

Trnsg. Com

[rugged wedge]

glass at water and a work bench

sink or water fountains work too

[spring kiln]

What do you guys think about the new feywood and pine wood

[spring kiln]

I only like fey wood, and pine walls

[rugged wedge]

havent used them yet sadly

[spring kiln]

Pine for columns, just that

[rugged wedge]

i feel like fey wood is a little niche of a use

[spring kiln]

They look exactly the same as pinewood

[radiant loom]

ez recipe

ty

[spring kiln]

Just different texture

[radiant loom]

i love feywood

i copied khaios and used it for a lil dock

1 sec

[glossy sail]

im probably just gonna fill in the tower with stone walls

[rugged wedge]

pine wood can be nice for this i guess

[spring kiln]

Aquarium platforms are good to use tbh

[rugged wedge]

aetherium platforms let dropped items through them

[spring kiln]

Also for support beams or for frames

[radiant loom]

feywood

bottom texture is super gnarly

[rugged wedge]

ahhh, that is nice

just like another weathered wood

[spring kiln]

Isn't that ashwood

Or am I being schizophrenic

[rugged wedge]

ash wood on top

fey wood on bottom

[spring kiln]

Yeayea

I thought I wss being delusional about it

[radiant loom]

btw the negative painted chests (obviously) match their negative painted blocks

aetherium brick negative looks like a glitch

the chest looks like terra toilet

[spring kiln]

What is that?

[radiant loom]

spike candelebra turned off

[rugged wedge]

i love black painted aetherium brick

[radiant loom]

spike furniture is great lanterns

[radiant loom]

OOO

[spring kiln]

This looks epix

Have you guys seen the star cloud yet? Or used them

[radiant loom]

ive seen em but not much of a use yet

its great for particles

[spring kiln]

Why do the particles go up 😭

I wish you could change their direction

[glossy sail]

maybe put a wall behind the rope?

like something to highlight the rope

or maybe some different staircase

[spring kiln]

Do a spiral staircase

[glossy sail]

idkk

alr

how do i do that

[spring kiln]

Wait

It's been a while

Sorry if it's bad, I don't hsve time to build right now, my fingers are broken

[glossy sail]

its obviously fine bro if your fingers are broken 😭

[rugged wedge]

every aetherium brick painted

i feel like shadow looks better than black paint

[spring kiln]

You change the length of the platforms

[radiant loom]

none of these are thattt bad

[glossy sail]

are those mahogany walls?

[spring kiln]

Depending on the size

[spring kiln]

Shadewood wall

[rugged wedge]

negative looks like lihzahrd brick to me

[radiant loom]

i like the teal

[glossy sail]

mm im in a corruption world

ill try black mahogany

[spring kiln]

I like the sky blue one

[rugged wedge]

:(

drunk world

best seed

[spring kiln]

Rich mahogany is horizontal

[glossy sail]

yeah forgot abt that

[rugged wedge]

added the original brick on top

[spring kiln]

Use ebonwood innstead

[glossy sail]

alr

[spring kiln]

Ugh it looks weird to me

Or use bamboo wall

[rugged wedge]

is there any hardmode block that doesnt have like a kind of prehardmode alternative now?

[spring kiln]

Big bamboo wall

[rugged wedge]

large bamboo my beloved

[spring kiln]

I mean large

[glossy sail]

looks amazing to me

[spring kiln]

Lmao, that also works

[spring kiln]

Large bamboo walls might look great

[rugged wedge]

i guess like the luminite/fragment stuff doesnt

[glossy sail]

mm im pretty sure i prefer ebonwood over large bamboo

[rugged wedge]

adamantite beams i dont think have a prehardmode alternative

[spring kiln]

Are you sure

[rugged wedge]

mmmmm

i love large bamboo

[spring kiln]

But you should go whatever you think is the best

[young bridge]

Maybe its the platforms?

Because i think the large bamboo looks better here

[spring kiln]

Yea, I overuse brass shelf a lot

[young bridge]

Try forbidden platforms

[spring kiln]

The platforms are just a guide for him to follow

[rugged wedge]

tested lead brick for adamantite beams and it looks kinda like a replacement for the luminute bricks

[glossy sail]

the platforms on the sides are for chests, sacrifice the chests for looks or nah?

[young bridge]

You could use full blocks for the chests

[glossy sail]

i can make the different platforms for the chests

a

[spring kiln]

You lack paint

But still good

You have 12 space

[rugged wedge]

the top layer of platforms on the right side is off

[spring kiln]

The spacing is uneven

Wait

I don't think so

[rugged wedge]

i would remove the chests that would connect to the stairs

[glossy sail]

i replaced the platforms that hold the stairs ith stone platforms and i might make them black to highlight them

[neat rampart]

He's just a little guy

Bro I feel like I'm floating rn

[spring kiln]

That's the same length as your castle

[radiant loom]

anyone know any fancy fountain designs

[spring kiln]

This guy a fast learner

I wanna keep him

[radiant loom]

lol

[glossy sail]

ive been building this house this entire day

eh but i did take a 4 hour break

[spring kiln]

I saw this on reddit

And pin

[radiant loom]

im gonna make a tiny one but i'll keep it in mind

hmmm i do like those dungeon vases

[spring kiln]

What underrated block you guys use in your builds

[glossy sail]

im gonna paint the mahogany brown but i want vertical tstripes, anyoen know what walls have verticcal stripes?

nvm i know

bamboo walls

[spring kiln]

Yes

That

Also ebonwood

Try plank walls

[radiant loom]

one cool thing i dont see often is ash block & mud block mixed

it's good for uhhh

terrain lol

[glossy sail]

mm i dont tyhink bamboo walls fit

[radiant loom]

like in this lake

[radiant loom]

get large bamboo wall if you can though, it works really good for other things

imo, would look really good as the pole for your spiral staircase

you make it at sawmill

[glossy sail]

yeah im probably gonna keep large bamboo wall

[spring kiln]

Try this

[glossy sail]

oo

what is that wall in the corners?

[spring kiln]

You have ebonwood walls available and normal wood walls

[spring kiln]

What corner?

[spring kiln]

Those are a mix of ebonwood and normal wood walls

Ebonwood walls painted brown

[neat rampart]

YO ts lowk fun

[spring kiln]

I tried to find the ash

[spring kiln]

It blended well

[neat rampart]

Lowkirkibiditoiletenuinely I'm enjoying spriting

[neat rampart]

VERTICKAL PLAN SK?>!?!>@!?>>#+!#@*

[glossy sail]

yk.. thats fine.. ill just add windows

[neat rampart]

Slap

[glossy sail]

organizing my chests will be torture

[blazing sentinel]

looking good!

[neat rampart]

Now I gotta add color to the lines

Lord help me because this is gonna be terrible

[glossy sail]

welp, first build ever, kidna dissapointed but its fine, good enough for my first ever build

[young bridge]

Why disappointed? I think it looks good

Although I'd like to point out you're missing a singular hay wall in the top left of the roof

Just a nitpick

[radiant loom]

nice

[radiant loom]

not mine but might help with making the windows less just glass

[glossy sail]

for some reason it didnt turn out how i expected and i feel like i spent wayyy too long on it

[glossy sail]

definitely will, thanks

[young bridge]

Nothing is stopping you from continuously tinkering with it as you progress in the game and get access to more blocks

[glossy sail]

ofc i will

i also want to build something in the jungle

i also have an idea of like a tunnel in the forest with the top of a lkong mountain floating

[mint imp]

It's pretty damn sick for a first build

My first real build was this garbo.

And I didn't even consider this my first at the time.

You have a very strong initial grasp of fundamentals

[glossy sail]

alot of this was from referneces

like the castle walls

also wouldnt have figured otu te roof thign on my own

saw it in a video

[mint imp]

It's a great starting point regardless

[glossy sail]

thanks

[mint imp]

Biggest thing rn is furnishing. There's nearly no decoration outside of the tower.

Windows could also use framing but that's a minor thing

[rugged wedge]

i like how you don’t just take full builds but you take ideas and use them

[young bridge]

Btw if you want inspiration/have questions about what certain blocks are feel free to steal from here or ask

[fiery roost]

You were a big fan of illuminant coat back then, weren't you?

[rugged wedge]

building is kinda just taking ideas from other people and repurposing them

[rugged wedge]

could just be a mod (?)

[mint imp]

Second thing is of course applying these fundamentals in future builds.
Understanding your references and why what they do works.

[fiery roost]

Makes more sense

[mint imp]

Yeah I had light hacks on

[fiery roost]

Have you guys checked if 1.4.5.6 changed anything for us builders?

[rugged wedge]

i recently learned that echo and illuminant coating can be applied on the same tile

[fiery roost]

Really? With paint too, I guess?

[mint imp]

I did a redo of it at the time, so this is the only surviving photo

[rugged wedge]

i doubt it, i looked at the change log and nothing stuck out to me tbh

[rugged wedge]

i need to look over it again tho

[fiery roost]

From a creativity point of view, it's good that you kept it. You can look back and see how your work changes over the time

[mint imp]

I guess there's this, but it's cut off

I reworked it into this though

[glossy sail]

im genuinely so exxcited to work on my idea tomorrow, i have it pictured in my head but i dont know if il.l be able to pull it off

[rugged wedge]

there were 2 different “fixed a certain exploit” in the change log tho

idk why they didn’t say what they fixed

[rugged wedge]

nvm, some small changes. nothing was removed to my knowledge tho

[mint imp]

Placing stuff on metal bars is cool

[rugged wedge]

“Optimized tile rendering in areas with many poorly lit blocks.
possible this changed some builds

[young bridge]

Hol up they added the rainbow boulder music box??

[rugged wedge]

Improved stability of newly appearing anchored kites.
same with this but i think this is like fixing kites when loading a world

[young bridge]

I need that thing

Do we know what it looks like?

[radiant loom]

@young bridge

[rugged wedge]

Fixed waterfalls getting wrongly colored by hidden echo coated walls.
i wonder if this was similar to old sky blue paint

[young bridge]

Ah, thank you

Looks good

[radiant loom]

the silence music box looks awesome too

[rugged wedge]

what does it look like when activated

[rugged wedge]

really dumb but they should add activated music boxes but they don’t change music

[radiant loom]

lol

[rugged wedge]

maybe you could just activate another music box over it

[radiant loom]

use em as decor

[rugged wedge]

i did which is why i’m saying it

#terraria-creations message

there

[fast lake]

Why can’t I post pictures?

[rugged wedge]

#terrarian-role-info

should be how to post pictures

[fiery roost]

More options are always more things to explore.

[rugged wedge]

i’ve never placed metal bars tbh so i don’t care much about that change

[fast lake]

Ah, ok

[fiery roost]

It's also okay, it's not like they deleted anything to add it anyway.

[rugged wedge]

yeah

only possible removal of features were unintentional features

but nothing sticks out as something big that was removed

https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/terraria-1-4-5-bigger-boulder-available-now.145773/#post-3386339

you can see it for yourself if you want

[glossy sail]

does anyone know where to get inspiration from? I want to build somethin fantasy-related but i dont have the imagination for it, so my next option is a drawing somewhere for inspiration. Is the main source just google it or is there a website for inspiration stuff?

[rugged wedge]

pinterest is a common source for that

also just google

[mint imp]

Just googling usually yeah.

I usually don't use any inspiration images and just low-ball wing it

Though, I do use references sometimes if I'm building something with a specific look that I don't know too well

Like the train

I learned that day I don't actually know what trains look like from memory 😔

[fiery roost]

Anything. Good artists are good collectors.
(And no, copying builds is not inspiration in a strict sense)

[rugged wedge]

i would wing it but i have aphantasia so heavily crippled on that

[mint imp]

I usually don't even have an image in mind when I'm winging

[fiery roost]

What's your level of aphantasia? Can you at least imagine the word?

[rugged wedge]

having references is the biggest thing for me

[rugged wedge]

i can’t see anything at all

or hear

[fiery roost]

I'm sorry for you regarding that

[rugged wedge]

made doing music in school a little harder

[fiery roost]

I imagine

[rugged wedge]

but i powered through still

especially on french horn 😭

tho it was all voluntary. i didn’t have to do music at all

[fiery roost]

Aphantasia also affects imagining the notes, for example, if you needed to tune your instruments?

[rugged wedge]

i kinda use it as an excuse often

[rugged wedge]

yeah

i just used a tuner anyway

[fiery roost]

😢

[rugged wedge]

id need to practice hella to get any decent relative pitch

[radiant loom]

skeletron music box is great

prime

[fiery roost]

I'm so used to playing Terraria without music I was shocked to learn Desert Underground, the second version I just forgot the name, is so good

[rugged wedge]

she god on my torch till i’m (alternative)

i wonder if the big building changes will be a 1.4.5.x or if it’ll be like 1.4.6

[near mango]

While not directly the same, you can already do this. Wearing a music box in your accessory / vanity accessory slots will override any placed music boxes that are activated

[rugged wedge]

that’s reserved for torch god alt

then i mute music anyway so it really doesn’t matter

[neat rampart]

Oh my go

THE SPRITESHEET IS FINAAL YY DODNEE

[rugged wedge]

[neat rampart]

I am dying 🫠🫠🫠🫠

That was so fucking draining

[radiant loom]

dojnt ask why the sand is gray

its part of a map

[quasi lagoon]

Stealing that market stall

[rugged wedge]

t girl

[radiant loom]

i dont think so, or it's dependent on what music box

[near mango]

It does

[radiant loom]

i had silence placed down and active and couldn't hear my windy day equipped in either vanity or main

[near mango]

ok well silence is probably the specific case against that

lol

[radiant loom]

yeah lol probably just that

[quasi lagoon]

<3 :3

[near mango]

silence's whole thing is to in fact, make it silent

otherwise it would just be worse for doing that

[radiant loom]

the harpy block one was my own idea, the pumpkin blocks one was based on bluejaytgaming's market stall from his rpg map video lol. but go ahead

[near mango]

her rpg map video but yes bluejay is chill

[radiant loom]

fr

[radiant loom]

not that i have the sole patent on using harpy blocks for roofing anyway lol

[rugged wedge]

i do, youre gonna have to pay up

9999 plat coins per placed harpy block

[neat rampart]

IT WOOOOOORKS

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY

noiceee

i play on journey you fool.... wahahaha

[arctic grail]

whyd i say "IS THAT RALSEI"

[neat rampart]

💀💀

Where does that even come from lmao

[arctic grail]

all these creations are still better than whatever the hell i have created in the past

[neat rampart]

Fair

[rugged wedge]

yeah, this is my best work

def better than whatever youve made

valid house btw

[neat rampart]

That is peak house design

[arctic grail]

ive made whatever the hell this is

https://imgur.com/a/pKtsJv6

[neat rampart]

I love this creature

[rugged wedge]

[arctic grail]

still somewhat looks like ralsei

[neat rampart]

I wish I could've given him more expressions

[neat rampart]

I honestly don't see it

He's a cat, not a goat

[arctic grail]

think about it

[mint imp]

The pink scarf

[neat rampart]

That's a hoodie 😭😭😭

[arctic grail]

i still think this thing sucks

[rugged wedge]

its not a box

[arctic grail]

it is a box

just more detailed

[rugged wedge]

just like make stuff out of more materials than 1 material

[arctic grail]

ive tried

i think

[rugged wedge]

best and easiest tip for a newer builder

[arctic grail]

i do have this one build in one of my worlds

but i dont think i created it tho

[rugged wedge]

also color theory at a certain point

even if its just "this color works with this color"

i like blue with brown bc theyre roughly complementary colors

[rugged wedge]

also having an idea at least or a reference helps a lot too

unsolicited tips

[arctic grail]

https://imgur.com/a/406RuM7

heres the house i was talking about

that i wasnt sure if i built or someone else did

[rugged wedge]

also not a box

[arctic grail]

its still a box

but detailed

[rugged wedge]

tbf thats a lot of builds

[arctic grail]

dont mind why the party girl looks different

it was just a slime rancher mod i had lol

[mint imp]

It's shape is janky and doesn't look like a mushroom. That's my most immediate thought

Glowing mushrooms are a bit of a complex theme cuz there's very few blocks that work well with it and all of them need paint

So shaft, plateau, semi circle

[arctic grail]

i know that

thats why i said i made it a long time ago

bc i made it in like

2021

[mint imp]

Ah I didn't see that

[arctic grail]

i also built uh

[mint imp]

My b

[arctic grail]

this

https://imgur.com/oQVsic5

[rugged wedge]

you could technically say these are both boxes but detailed

[arctic grail]

yea

[rugged wedge]

and the houses here too
(NOT MY BUILD from yavoreve)

[arctic grail]

i still have no building skills ngl-

[arctic grail]

this is like a alright build tho

so yea

[mint imp]

Not a shoebox, no. Has a roof, uses different block types, and different room heights

[arctic grail]

what is a house but a box made differently

think about it

[mint imp]

Box but triangle,,,,

[rugged wedge]

i had the same idea lol

[arctic grail]

no idea what im looking at but still better than my builds

[rugged wedge]

my internet is bad...

[arctic grail]

maybe i should try making mods or something

ill prob be better at that

[mint imp]

I'm saying that your definition of a box is highly reductionist

[arctic grail]

actually nvm

[mint imp]

It limits your potential through your mindset

[arctic grail]

i have no idea how to draw either

[rugged wedge]

finally sent

[rugged wedge]

this is the closest i could find to that

[arctic grail]

yea so i was right

i didnt build that house

uh

yay ig

[rugged wedge]

its not that close tbh

like those are simple building ideas

[mint imp]

It's a completely different build yeah

[rugged wedge]

https://www.reddit.com/user/Conscious_Series166/

original poster

may as well give credit

[arctic grail]

THE ROARING IS REAL

[rugged wedge]

doesnt take much effort from me and its just nice to give credit

[mint imp]

And the one in blu's world is quite a bit better

Even uses a floorboard technique for the stone slabs

[arctic grail]

oh

uh

i did?

uhm

nice

[mint imp]

Note that the ceilings are wood, but the floors are slab. It's a great way to use a larger variety of block types

[arctic grail]

so is that a good thing

[mint imp]

Ye.

I use alternate flooring schemes alot in uh, the apartment complex

[arctic grail]

oh

i do remember building a pumpkin house years ago too

im gonna go find that rq

maybe i was crazy bc i found uh

"candy cane" houses

https://imgur.com/ySBp7bh

[mint imp]

Candy cane, my beloathed

[arctic grail]

these do NOT look like candy canes vro

[near mango]

I've said this before but just to give my own comment here; "box" shaped builds for stuff like houses aren't a bad thing. It is about how you break up the inner details even if all things considered, it is still very box shaped. There is a lot of depth you can add with differing room structures to slightly spice up the "box" shapes

[arctic grail]

they look like ones

[mint imp]

The ultimate noob trap of a building block 😔

[near mango]

candy cane? not really

due to seasonal availability

[arctic grail]

keep in mind this build was also made in 2021

[mint imp]

Is there a worse block that's obtained early that compells people to build the worst things with it?

I guess xeno plating is also p bad, but that's endgame

[arctic grail]

d i r t

[queen belfry]

the poo block trust

Everyone out there building iron toilets or sum to get poo early..

(ik that poo is actually a nice block but poo houses r funny

[near mango]

Boreal while not a bad block at all, it certainly doesn't look right when used in a lot of bulk given how it looks as a wood

It's a pretty common wood to be someone's favourite if they are newer with building, which isn't a bad thing, just something I've observed over many years

[mint imp]

Boreal is a very good pitch actually yeah

I'd accept that as an answer

[near mango]

best used as an accent imo

[mint imp]

It looks so good as an accent I kind forgot how bad it is in bulk

Whoops

[near mango]

yea

[rugged wedge]

love it as just a horizontal stripe

like for a floor or roof is nice

[arctic grail]

what do u guys think i should possibly build next

[mint imp]

Build a Normal House.

It is, by far, the best way to practice fundamentals

[near mango]

While this isn't the block I do use the wall here for 2 lines of accents here, which it is quite nice for

[arctic grail]

the best i could do is just a box

i though you used crimson grass as the carpet lmao

[near mango]

Personally my go-to suggestion is trying to make a small cave with a mineshaft. Plenty of variety with fundamentals, just a bit less on furniture compared to houses, which can be a bit overwhelming for people

[near mango]

deep red paint on regular mowed grass so not too far off

crimson grass i use for more swamp like grass however

[arctic grail]

what the fuck am i reading

[mint imp]

What's the hangup?

[arctic grail]

fym build a mineshaft

i cant build stuff like that

[mint imp]

Have you tried?

[near mango]

Anyone can if you just start, by starting you'll start to improve

[mint imp]

^

[near mango]

Even if your first attempt isn't good, you will get better with time

[arctic grail]

yea

[mint imp]

All of us started off total garbo

Wanna see my first experimentation with building?

[arctic grail]

sure

[mint imp]

It was this

Shoeboxes but Fancy™

[arctic grail]

eh thats pretty good

[mint imp]

It's really really not

But the fireplaces trick you into thinking it could be UwU

[rugged wedge]

made this graphic, would it fit on the wiki do we think?

maybe on like echo walls or something

another version i added a footnote under glass and aqua "* must be blocks"

oooo, the right 2 works with confetti blocks too

and snowfall

[arctic grail]

https://imgur.com/a/7hw7AtM

i made this rn

(i know it also sucks)

i like used stone and mud

[arctic grail]

yea

[hushed badge]

this is annoying

[rugged wedge]

hmm

[hushed badge]

the digtoise is position based and you can't cycle through it with the rubblemaker

that means I can't make the rubblemaker guide match properly with the tiles

[rugged wedge]

like gnomes?

[hushed badge]

the devs are aware of it and said it will take long time to fix

[near mango]

like, akin to coral facing left or right depending on tile along x coordinates?

the coral thing is smth i forwarded over along with other feedback

[near mango]

or does digtoise's sprite just vary depending on tile for both x & y coordinates?

[hushed badge]

the frame data is preset based on the position

you can't jiggle it to get whatever you want

I wrote in the wiki disc a sec

[wooden sigil]

I think it’d be cool if every other section of the fence were one taller

[near mango]

yes, so like i was asking about. but is it for just along x coordinates or x & y?

ok

[arctic grail]

o

[hushed badge]

and here is Yorai's response

[arctic grail]

thank u for the advice :>

[hushed badge]

We're aware and its currently working as designed. Making it support the up/down will take more time.

[wooden sigil]

Or maybe every third

[wooden sigil]

Np 😎

[near mango]

yes, i was just asking in regard to what you were referring to lol

[near mango]

you already pointed this out

[hushed badge]

I just noticed

it's late and I am jumping between like 5 servers

the pains of being at maximum Discord servers 🥲

[wooden sigil]

How are you in that many 😭

[rugged wedge]

8 mutual servers 😭

[hushed badge]

skill issue

[rugged wedge]

why are you not in that many

[wooden sigil]

What even is the max limit

[rugged wedge]

idk bc im actually not in that many

im in a lot tbf

[spring kiln]

I love this guy's videos

[blazing sentinel]

THANK YOU!

[radiant loom]

💀

[spring kiln]

Are you friends with tommy tsunami and khaios

[rugged wedge]

i have 1 mutual with tommy tsunami

feels like that mutual is friends with half of this discord to be fair

[near mango]

I have 7 mutuals with Tommy, but I don't have Tommy added myself. I knew about him before he really started doing a lot more content in modern years

via BlueJay's streams he would chill in chat when she would stream building stuff

we've spoken a few times recently-ish though

[rugged wedge]

i dont have a single mutual with you

[near mango]

lol

[blazing sentinel]

I haven't spoken to them before

[rugged wedge]

somewhat surprised like you and foot arent friends

[near mango]

i don't add many people from this discord

[rugged wedge]

or ebsiffers

[spring kiln]

I don't know why but Tommy genuinely looks scary cause of his character

[near mango]

most of the people on my friend list are staff / ex staff from the server i manage, irl friends, then the odd few creators & re-logic members i have added

then like i have very few people from here added like dopie

or nubby

regardless of adding people though, a lot of people in this server are still plenty fine to converse with as regulars

i'm just quite selective about who i add lol

[rugged wedge]

same

i think i only have like foot and a few from tewwawia added

and xfish bc weve played together

[near mango]

i can't say i recognise this user though

[spring kiln]

But you know them right?

[blazing sentinel]

i know of them yeah

[rugged wedge]

if youve seen anything of tewwawia, he put it all together

[near mango]

I have not no

plus i recently got rid of a lot of the channels i don't want to have in my channel list relatively recently so it just looks like this

[rugged wedge]

mine is only half of the normal list

but i also never talk anywhere but here and help

[radiant loom]

pretty much what mine looks like

[rugged wedge]

i dont even have activites

tho i should add it

[near mango]

thelp I got rid of, not that I have an issue with occasionally helping people in there when I'd spot questions I could answer, I'm just slowing down my activity in this server as a whole a good bit

[spring kiln]

I think you guys would really be great friends

[rugged wedge]

its like just you submitting in activities 😭

[blazing sentinel]

well we do have some things in common lol

[near mango]

well yeah, points are points

plus it gets me to build more too

[rugged wedge]

i was shocked when i heard thar khaios played french horn

[rugged wedge]

i need to do that :(

[near mango]

submitting for activities is how I have some of the best point pacing on the server

with months giving 500-600k

[radiant loom]

WHAT

[rugged wedge]

in his ideas video he said he would like note blocks and mentioned he had a musical background and played french horn

[spring kiln]

A cool thing I like about your videos is your voice, you teach in such a formal tone

[rugged wedge]

what i dont like is that youre european

i only watch true red blooded americans

[spring kiln]

I thought he's British

[rugged wedge]

🦅 🦅 🦅 🦅

[blazing sentinel]

Thanks dude!

[radiant loom]

amen 🦅

[blazing sentinel]

awww mann

[radiant loom]

all others are blue blooded brits etc

[spring kiln]

He sounds British 😭

[near mango]

imagine being American

[rugged wedge]

i wish i wasnt

get me out

[near mango]

or well, in the sense of United States American

[radiant loom]

i love being a united stater

[near mango]

as I am simply up north

[blazing sentinel]

(i am)

[spring kiln]

How are you european

[radiant loom]

i dont know how USA gained americans as a people title even though theres 2 americas

[rugged wedge]

only thing keeping me sane living here is that i live in california

[near mango]

going to hold your hand when i say this

[spring kiln]

Damn

[rugged wedge]

they arent in the eu anymore bc of brexit

[spring kiln]

I still like his content

[rugged wedge]

but they didnt move continents

[near mango]

yea

[spring kiln]

If it's English then it's America

[rugged wedge]

i guess way back when pangea broke up they did

[near mango]

dissapointed by no caveman emojis on discord

at least we have 🦖

[near mango]

anywho to loop back to this, i just build at a pace i enjoy & if any of the activities interest me, i build them

[rugged wedge]

do the activites loop

[near mango]

albeit they appear to have been looping each year for the past few years now so i will be reaching a point of just doing ones i've done before again given i actively participated in them from like, spring onwards last year

yea

[rugged wedge]

kinda hard to have an infinite stream of new ideas

[near mango]

forgot to post this one in here, but farm like autumn area i did the other day for the farm activity

mediocre trees but everything else is relatively fine

[near mango]

well the thing is, there were a good year or two before the current loop has been going, which the looped activities i believe come from the 2nd year. so there is plenty that just haven't been looping that could be valid to loop but

i don't manage the bot so

[rugged wedge]

using stucco for everything BUT stucco

[near mango]

stucco i use when i deem fit

it is mostly a pixel art block really

but i have used it for walls before

[rugged wedge]

i never felt like it looked like stucco

[near mango]

namely my desert house uses yellow stucco unpainted

mixed in

[rugged wedge]

kinda wish there was a better block for it

like marble would be nice if it connected to other blocks

[near mango]

mmmmmm flinx fur with some paints can work

relatively

far from all paints though

[rugged wedge]

i guess i havent tried the new blocks

i was doing a like greek house and wouldve loved a white block with slight texture

i ended up doing smooth marble

[near mango]

after i finished this build & recorded footage for the short that includes it, i realised i should have placed some butterflies around, like monarch would work nicely around a good bit

but i still have plenty of critters around here

critters being placeable is really underrated

fantastic 1.4.5 addition

[rugged wedge]

kinda a hard texture to recreate
