truth

#

now let me place the jellyfish you get from fishing

#

i want an ambient lightsource for water that isnt just like jellyfish blocks

near mango
#

Ultimately we'll see if it goes anywhere, may not be a thing for hotfixes for 1.4.5 but possibly a later day as it'd be a very nice addition πŸ˜›

#

You're proving my point in the doc too, that builders want ambient critters like this in aquatic builds

rugged wedge
near mango
rugged wedge
#

kinda looks like bubbles

near mango
#

relatively, which makes them not terrible but

rugged wedge
#

which is what happens when you place a land critter in water

#

or a water critter on land

near mango
#

i'd still ultimately like ones that can roam

#

or well "roam"

rugged wedge
#

i like the use of fragment blocks for coral

#

and lighting

near mango
#

ye

#

fragment blocks are one of my go-tos for stuff like this

#

they also paint quite nicely

#

plus, i also really like reef block

rugged wedge
#

building outside of journey is so restictive i hate it

near mango
#

coralstone was fine (namely after the touched up sprite), but for a bit more colour, reef is fantastic

#

plus good texture too

near mango
#

i purely build on a server & with 1.4.5 stuff, in journey

#

i don't even want to think about banner obtainability for builds in regular worlds

rugged wedge
#

just because of how far in the game some of the useful stuff is

near mango
#

angry dandelion banner in particular

rugged wedge
#

like echo

#

tho thats good now

near mango
#

yea

#

echo coating being moved much earlier is great

rugged wedge
#

and you can do this

#

early game echo walls

near mango
#

plus echo coating is also my first short to do quite well too so i am quite happy with that

near mango
#

ye

#

it's a simple trick i use

rugged wedge
#

i knew everything else but def good tips

near mango
#

yeah

#

it is just general build tip stuff, nothing too specific

#

like even the lamp post i don't exactly do my designs in full

#

just simply the fact you can make the regular lamp post slightly better

spring kiln
#

Are there content creators that are rivals

vocal marsh
#

guys hear me out should i mine my whole world out to make a floaty world?

rugged wedge
vocal marsh
#

i wanna do it with effort so i can hoarde all my blocks

rugged wedge
vocal marsh
#

i like hoarding for some reason

rugged wedge
#

i mean, its kinda up to you

near mango
vocal marsh
#

i think its cool

near mango
#

or variations

vocal marsh
#

then again im a noob when i build

near mango
spring kiln
near mango
#

as the regular lamp post is quite thin on it's own

vocal marsh
near mango
#

also hm i notice water isn't saving correctly again for 4 sloped tiles

#

oh well too lazy to fix for a new pic

spring kiln
near mango
spring kiln
near mango
#

just 1.4.5 additions with mounts & posing

#

great additions

spring kiln
#

I thought they were players but then I saw only just brown color

vocal marsh
#

if i was on pc i would make the most killer shi fr fr i just suck with switch lmao

spring kiln
rugged wedge
#

i dont wanna use a male character model but i hate that the female model has smaller legs and that the sleeves are cut off

#

also i wanna try to make some more vanities

near mango
#

the interesting thing with mannequins on mounts; animated mounts like the black spot or cute fishron are static, however digging molecart is animated

#

there might be other examples but this is the one i noticed

rugged wedge
near mango
#

what about them?

rugged wedge
#

like if i knew the ideas you use i could probably implement them in builds

#

but i could never come up with any of them

spring kiln
#

The mole cart is like a cushion

near mango
#

Well I've kind of just been building since last decade, so naturally I have quite a refined style of how my ideas come together

#

Plus I look at builds at more than just builds in some cases

#

Worldbuilding being involved for some cases, or giving a sense of exploration

#

But it really varies from piece to piece

rugged wedge
#

the only like idea that i did on my own is custom gem trees

near mango
#

Mannequins are something in particular I've been using to help my builds feel more "alive" ever since 1.4

#

& they just keep improving them, which is great

rugged wedge
near mango
rugged wedge
near mango
#

Giant custom chains are a staple for connecting planetoids, not something I do, but rather something I'm well familiar with seeing from 1.3

rugged wedge
#

youve probably seen this build i did but this is my best example of a custom gem tree

#

and its not even that special, just a normal tree without leaves

near mango
#

Solid, my only comment is that I feel regular living wood's texture doesn't quite match gem trees as much. Would recommend another stone-like texture or just more stone & living mahogany

#

That is just my opinion though ofc, still looks great

#

Living mahogany is very underrated for stone mixes & as you can see with the minecart example, I use it quite a bit

#

It has a very nice texture for stone mixes overall

rugged wedge
#

taken from khaios, bubblegum block is decent for some dirt mixing

near mango
#

Bubblegum is a solid one, yes

#

Spider nest also works solid, but can be a bit light

rugged wedge
#

yeah, that was the other one he mentioned, couldnt remember

near mango
#

Boulder obviously is a good new addition, but best to be a bit sparing with it

rugged wedge
#

yeah

#

someone said, once you see the boulder texture you used too much

#

probably you

near mango
#

yea

rugged wedge
#

do you have an example of any lunar fragment bricks being used?

near mango
#

1 moment

rugged wedge
#

never seen any build use them

#

these ones

shell violet
#

Boulder is good cause it’s rounded which is relatively uncommon

near mango
#

stardust i haven't touched

#

same with nebula

#

however solar & vortex i have

#

moreso solar

#

solar used here with gray paint, radio thing full moon morning lighting in a blizzard to dampen the warm lighting #terraria-creations message

rugged wedge
#

bringing out a mtg reference again, i could see them being somewhat decent for a birthing pod design

#

i was not expecting the pic to be that big

near mango
#

solar also works good in a hive mix with hive & fragment block

#

plus, the warm lighting is a benefit here

rugged wedge
near mango
#

radio thing goes a long way & is the best monolith πŸ‘

rugged wedge
#

ive never seen it actually

#

thought it would be more warm

near mango
#

well that is the thing, full moon lighting

rugged wedge
#

i guess its also the dont stave monolith

#

but i also have like 25 minutes in dont starve

spring kiln
near mango
#

examples of radio thing's lighting outside of a full moon

#

much more warm, much harsher

rugged wedge
#

off topic and if you dont mind me asking, where do you get your like overall ideas for builds from?

near mango
near mango
#

it's complicated to really describe how my brain functions, but i constantly have ideas flowing basically nearly at all times

rugged wedge
#

mmmm

near mango
#

random ideas, inspirations from media, certain music i want to build to, etc

rugged wedge
#

i think thats normal

#

not that i have that afaik

near mango
#

specific stuff i want to practice, try out, etc

near mango
# near mango vs again full moon lighting

tl:dr

  • harsher warmer regular lighting outside of full moon great for well, more harsh environments. examples such as desert builds, crimson, etc
  • full moon lighting much colder, more tranquil, great for builds like in the snow biome, ocean, etc
#

all depends on the kind of environment you're using it for

#

it can go a long way

#

i eventually will be doing a whole video explaining radio thing in depth, but that won't be for a good few months

rugged wedge
#

so like core vs chapter 4 in celeste

#

i cant remember the name of chapter 4

near mango
#

golden ridge

rugged wedge
#

aha

near mango
#

here is the examples of what radio thing is referencing from dst

#

thanks to, random google images

#

for regular vs full moon

rugged wedge
near mango
#

same applies to full moon lighting, it becomes much softer cold kind of lighting in the morning compared to early to middle of the night

#

in which it is more akin to this

#

Its actually pretty to look at

near mango
#

to the point of @'ing Red on Bsky about getting a placed version added, which was in fact added in 1.4.5

#

albeit me & Red have talked before (& still do) it was one I really wanted to get out there lol

rugged wedge
#

like i havent tried this out but seeing the spikes reminded me. i had the idea to use negative painted spikes as stars

near mango
sand kindle
#

Does anyone have a good reference for creating a spiral shape?

rugged wedge
#

youd probably be better at applying this than i would be

near mango
#

mmmmm using spikes like that isn't really what I do

#

as I use spikes for parkour usage mostly, in which I have a very specific shaping style

near mango
#

another 2 rather

rugged wedge

near mango
#

How you place them for mapmaking, matters a lot

#

namely for the leniency of the map's gameplay & how polished it feels

rugged wedge
#

i have some parkour map experience OUTSIDE of penguin

#

which is why i asked you if your maps were available anywhere outside of penguin

near mango
#

well no, they really shouldn't be unless someone used a modified client to take them off the server

crude pagoda
#

I have to learn parkour cause some maps in DGZ just have goofy ahh obstacles to get an item

near mango
#

I manage Parkour on PG & it has been my main hobby for the past 6y now

#

Which from that & the help of our Developers coding features for it, it has become our most expansive gamemode & probably the most dedicated Parkour community for Terraria as a whole

near mango
#

If it wasn't for Parkour building being an interest of mine, I wouldn't be where I am now as a builder if one at all

#

Hook map?

rugged wedge
#

this is from like early 1.4

#

you got uhh

#

soc, emerald hook, and fart in a jar and thats it

near mango
#

certainly a map
with movement

#

that is about my thoughts looking at it lol

rugged wedge
#

me and my friends got into trying out terraria parkour bc of celeste

#

and we had no reference besides celeste

near mango
#

Some of our mapmakers have actually made modded celeste maps of relative popularity

crude pagoda
#

Graveyard monolith 😍

rugged wedge
rugged wedge
near mango
#

some examples being Dusk City by Meario, Everlasting Farewell, Calypta & Midnight Monsoon by Luma, Mount Vesuvius by Yoshachobi7, etc

#

Dusk City & Midnight Monsoon both being Strawberry Jam maps of course

near mango
# rugged wedge

Eventually I do plan to make some full Celeste maps of my own, I have attempted many times over the years, but I just haven't quite got to where I want as a creative in that space to put maps out yet

#

This also applies to many other creative forms with games, such as making custom Lethal Company moons, mod ideas for TModloader, etc. If there is some way I can interact with a game to create, I'm probably in some form interested

#

BTD6 I have one map editor level I'm quite proud of, then another WIP that has been sitting around for quite some time to finish still, but happy with so far. Point is I just like creating things as it is one of my favourite parts of games

#

Ok now to actually comment on it for a moment. A lot of builders "new" to making parkour, will often make layouts like that

rugged wedge
near mango
#

Lots of open room, spikes covering the edges like that without much thought exactly

#

Lots of tunnel-like shapes

#

But once you start to get better at building, naturally your structuring will be more refined

#

You won't be making as excessively large layouts

rugged wedge
#

these were all made before i got into building so i had no reference of good and bad really

crude pagoda
#

Baby steps they say

near mango
#

Obviously some forms of movement do still benefit from this style of layout

#

Such as a dash alongside rocket boots

#

But the forms of movement that benefit from large tunnel layouts aren't nearly as popular

rugged wedge
#

this doesnt even seem possible to make idk what they were cooking

near mango
#

Depends on the movement

rugged wedge
#

fart in a jar, soc, and emerald hook

near mango
#

If a hook is involved, it would be quite easy to make happen

#

Then yeah that isn't an issue whatsoever

rugged wedge
#

i guess "cheesing" it wouldnt be too hard

near mango
#

If anything, how open it is just makes it easier for a hook, not even to mention the dash & very good double jump

crude pagoda
#

Yeah i think thats doable with a hook and double jump

#

A block that prevents hooks to attach on

#

Hmmmm

near mango
#

shimmer πŸ‘

rugged wedge
#

oh yeah

#

shimmer-log a block

crude pagoda
#

Ohhhh

near mango
#

it also has a fun interaction immediately bouncing you with anti-gravity hook by nature of how that hook works

#

"Kelp" is an example of a map of mine that is a small & refined hook layout even if it is for a beginner by being incredibly easy

#

Which from there you can kind of see how open hook gameplay can be, even if it is just the regular grappling hook

radiant loom
near mango
#

while fun, it can certainly be harder to balance

#

more refined & restricted movement can certainly help balance gameplay's difficulty a lot more

#

which then can lead to less repetitive & more meaningful gameplay as well. rather than just doing the same stuff over & over again, there can be so much more depth

rugged wedge
#

side thing, i have a cyberpunk city im "making" (havent touched it in a while) and would like some guidance πŸ˜“

#

i only have the layout currently which sucks

crude pagoda
#

Or something

rugged wedge
#

guhhh i dont think im online enough to get that πŸ˜”

crude pagoda
#

My fault

lament briar
rugged wedge
rugged wedge
#

this is a server so i cant really keep npcs

lament briar
#

Well, if you're doing cyber-punk, you'll want to figure out how much of nature you'll incorporate...

#

Some people feel like you'll be 50%/50%, others feel like nature will be absent... But I think you'll like the equipment in this.

rugged wedge
#

im not even really happy with the layout tbh πŸ˜“

lament briar
#

Keep it as it is until you figure out where you wanna start. 😊

near mango
#

well not that it leans more solarpunk, rather this is solarpunk

near mango
rugged wedge
#

i also kinda need a way to distinguish between certain builds with them being so similar

near mango
#

yeah that is the other thing

#

cyberpunk leans very dark palette wise

#

so it really comes down to how you decorate each building to help distinguish them

#

i will note that cyberpunk is where you get most usage out of negative paint, that is for sure

#

the amount of bizarre neon colours you can get work really well

rugged wedge
#

one of ebsiffers builds from tewwawia season 1 that he didnt finish 😭

near mango
#

so like the point is; if some blocks, walls or furniture interest you to try out with some wacky colours, chances are cyberpunk as a style is the perfect place

rugged wedge
near mango
#

ye

#

cyberpunk as a style is the best excuse to use a lot of bizarre negative paint combinations

radiant loom
#

gemspark and bubble block are carrying

near mango
near mango
#

they work really well

rugged wedge
#

i do have every block in a world so i could see them painted i guess

#

i still kinda wanna pivot to a solarpunk tho

#

i feel like that design doesnt fit well with that idea

lament briar
#

What about this one @near mango ?

near mango
#

well yeah, that falls under cyberpunk

lament briar
rugged wedge
#

i’m also limited with blocks

#

bc were only pre plant rn

#

so none of the like β€œtech” blocks

lament briar
#

The problem is, "convenience" is going to win over natural methods.

near mango
# near mango well yeah, that falls under cyberpunk

just the point about the last example was that what was shown is specifically solarpunk rather than cyberpunk given how it is a build focused on the natural energy sources worked in with nature such as solar panels & wind turbines. which are a staple for solarpunk

#

plus the overall composition of the build being much brighter, more colourful

#

those are the major distinctions

lament briar
# rugged wedge i’m also limited with blocks

What might help you with building and organizing thoughts is that every cyberpunk city has an energy source.

It doesn't have to "connect" to each location, but it has to connect in the sense that, every part of the city obtains a piece of that energy to run.

rugged wedge
#

my main idea was that i was gonna go for a cyberpunk 2077 kinda style

lament briar
#

The picture I included, clearly, shouldn't be utilizing Vortex pillar technology, but in this economy, I mean...

5 to 7 bunnies every third day, or an unruly NPC, is it really that bad lol?

lament briar
rugged wedge
#

i def cant be using a vortex pillar for an energy source (pre plant)

lament briar
rugged wedge
#

the only thing thats "done" is this little overpass

near mango
#

Just to make another comment on the "Punk" styles as a whole, they are fantastic for worldbuilding which is something I have mentioned a few times now. The kinds of concepts that go into the builds with these styles goes a long way. Like the kinds of energy sources for a cyberpunk build, what lead these styles of cities to be where they are in the first place, their sustainability methods, etc.

rugged wedge
#

would love to worldbuild but this is next to me

lament briar
#

So this one uses glass.

#

I'm guessing refracted light?

near mango
lament briar
#

I don't know lol... But it's nice, it's coherent... I know it's probably more solar punk than cyberpunk.

near mango
#

Just the kinds of creative stories or ideas, even if small, can help elevate a build conceptually

#

The process, the reason for why you chose to make it, etc

lament briar
#

I don't even know what this thing is.

#

To me, it's a test of patience, like Jenga... This would be the only one of us kind of I built it, but it clearly means something to the creator.

rugged wedge
#

once more im plagued with my eternal mental block

#

like all great ideas but i have no clue how to implement anything

lament briar
#

But it uses something simple like the silly balloon and says, "This is actually an energy source that can rip open the earth and summon every single enemy from the game at once."

slow dew
# near mango The process, the reason for why you chose to make it, etc

100% this, I'm always asking myself these types of questions when I'm making a build. I recently did a jungle pylon build and the story that I made in my head is that it's a reclaimed lihzard temple lost to time, dryad came in and made it her home and that kinda helped me set the palette, lay out a theme, and set the boundaries a bit. I kept asking myself, "well why would this work if this is the plot?" and I would reset the room and change it until I was happy with what fit my story

lament briar
#

Sour, why does that specific picture stand out to you?

#

The one that you'd like to use as inspiration?

rugged wedge
#

well i mostly chose it bc it was the best pic of what i envision when i think og cyberpunk 2077

#

but id say the biggest thing besides that is how almost dystopian it feels

#

like giant billboards plastered everywhere

#

its so full of life yet so lifeless

#

so full of color but still lacking in color

slow dew
#

okay, dystopian is a good word, so what I'd go off that is the mood is going to be dark, the only thing bright in the build is going to be the neon signs

rugged wedge
#

i currently have the mushroom biome to darken the vibe as well

slow dew
#

ye that's good

lament briar
#

You're a master with paint, so similar wall backgrounds with the same color may yield similar results, right?

among the punk genres, I find solarpunk & biopunk to be the most unrealistic

#

I wanna do it Tony Stark style

#

trust the process

#

it is absolutely necessary

rugged wedge
#

any rocket launcher would be better anyway

#

phm

rugged wedge
#

holy shit

#

i did the math

#

you would really need 280 plat worth without happiness

vagrant steeple
#

holy fck I am right

#

I kinda just eyeballed the total amount cuz I wasnt sure

#

but thanks for the clarifications

rugged wedge
#

youd need roughly 140000 dynamite to clear a world (leaving margin for error). each dynamite is 20 silver, thats 2800000 silver or 280 plat

rugged wedge

#

how bout if using explosives?

rugged wedge
#

idk, i only know how much you need to clear a screen size hole with dynamite bc ive done it

vagrant steeple
#

so Ig Id need 420 plat for 2 screen lengths

rugged wedge
#

no

#

thats for the whole world

vagrant steeple
#

ah

#

damn

rugged wedge
#

you need close to 2k for one screen width

#

or for 120 across

vagrant steeple
#

I could probably need less cuz my phone has lesser resolution than ur laptop

#

or pc

rugged wedge
#

so youd need 6 plat it seems

#

maybe 7 for margin of error

vagrant steeple
#

thats good

rugged wedge
#

6.25 +/- 0.75 platinum coins

#

it seems explosives are less efficent than dynamite technically

#

dynamite breaks 177 blocks at max and explosives break 314 at max

#

156 blocks* but still more efficent

#

bc explosives take 3 dynamite

hey, could i get some building advice/help? ive been having artists block on how i should do my jungle village

#

specifically, a shaft i have down to my plantera/bee queen arena

#

like...for my hellivator im planning on doing a crane with a rope down, but i dont know what to do to fit a jungle/natural vibe

#

i wanna improve at building, make stuff i can be proud of and looks nice, but even the most basic stuff i feel overwhelmed with options and not having enough at the same time

rugged wedge
#

and is it just a small 3 wide tunnel from digtoise

merry elm
#

its 5 wide, could carve it out more and give it more rough texture

#

i had an idea, like it being an ancient temple opening or ancient well

#

that or an excavation shaft

#

and for the rest of the village, i was thinking a more natural vibe built around each of the NPC's. Of course im going with the standard dryad + witchdoctor + painter combo, i guess the painter would have a more recently built/normal looking house while the dryad and/or witchdoctor would live in huts, or in the side of a hill we have...

#

there's also a nice spot to put a pylon...lemme grab my land

rugged wedge
merry elm
#

this does help a lot

rugged wedge
#

pinterest or just google could also help for some help too

merry elm
#

ive been assembling a collage/idea board, but a shaft is something hard to make look good...

#

this is my general building area

#

the others in my group insisted on having the shaft

#

and that little raised platform between the 2 cave entrances is where i plan on putting the pylon

#

i guess there's also the thing of making sure they're all close enough to each other to count

rugged wedge
#

also, it follows the blocks wiki page image decently as well so you can reference that possibly for all of the pre 1.4.5 blocks]

#

like i keptt the general order of the blocks and the rough categories

merry elm
#

thanks, i guess im struggling with a good idea for the outlines of these things

rugged wedge
#

my idea would just be like a well that leads down to whatever

merry elm
#

like...i did have 2 ideas, mostly stemming around this sort of vibe

#

or like this, but miniturized

#

what do you think?

rugged wedge
#

kind what’s was envisioning when you said temple

#

kinda what i was*

#

yikes i’m tired

merry elm
#

yeah, maybe i should come back here in the morning

rugged wedge
#

you can stay, i won’t be

merry elm
#

but yeah, the idea of it being an ancient, dried up well

rugged wedge
#

also idk when someone else is getting on

merry elm
#

also...god 25 blocks is tiny, i may need to compress things down more

rugged wedge
#

also here’s every block but black

#

in case you want a darker look

#

i like when the bricks i use in jungle builds are darker

merry elm
#

im also limited in my block pallet due to pre hardmode

merry elm
rugged wedge
merry elm
#

oooo nice

#

the other issue i have is...well, the guys on my sserver want the drop to be "safe" from things like bees, so making the shaft go all the way down as a tube...

rugged wedge
#

if you’re post skeletron you can get echo coating

merry elm
rugged wedge
#

it’ll hide the blocks but they’ll still act like a block is there

fast raven
#

Hello

#

Oh shoot i cant put it here

rugged wedge
merry elm
merry elm
#

plus would get confusing when running away from stuff and hitting an invisible wall

fast raven
#

Oh i see

rugged wedge
#

you do you, i was pretty much giving an easy way out

merry elm
#

the other idea i had was making just a reeeaaallllly deep tree

rugged wedge
#

larger trees are a little hard to build and have them look like a tree rather than a wood tunnel

merry elm
#

yeah...

rugged wedge
#

there’s another word but it’s a little strange and would make the sentence a little phallic…

#

i mean, since it’s underground you won’t really see the whole tree anyway so it could work out

fast raven
#

So guys, im just going to describe it, i built a castle and has a 2 separate entrance room (i alr have dining and hall stuff) any idea on what should i put to it?

#

Im running out of ideas actually

rugged wedge
fast raven
#

Okay

rugged wedge
#

and steal it SlimeLurkBlue

fast raven
#

Oh

#

There u go

rugged wedge
#

i won’t steal it

fast raven
#

Its fine u can do whatever u want man

#

Idk what to put to those empty rooms

rugged wedge
#

so like the 2 right and left ones

fast raven
#

Yep

rugged wedge
#

a simple potted tree could be nice

fast raven
#

Potted tree? Wait a sec idk that was a thing lol

rugged wedge
#

i’d say just some plantlife whether it’s a potted tree, planter boxes, etc.

mint jasperBOT

there’s quite a few

Ohhh thank you πŸ˜ƒ

anyone got tips on how to decorate this building? also, if yall got any other tips or stuff i could change on the building itself that'd be great πŸ˜„

young bridge
#

You could use different chandeliers or more for lighting, candelabras on platforms work too
Also, everything in here is considered a table for housing purposes, you can be very flexible with room designs that include housing

spring kiln
#

Use sink

young bridge
#

There's also potted trees, pots, planter boxes, placable healing and mana potions, paintings, dye plants, plates + food item

#

The rubblemaker and portable kiln can also help make some decor

#

genuine question, how do people make 3d stuff like this? do they just paint everything a shade darker and keep on going or what? genuinely shocking

light zodiac
#

lol

glossy sail
#

2021

#

Pretty sure ai imaging wasnt around at that time especially not of such quality

young bridge
#

yes and no
paint IS used to make thigns darker, but actuation is also a major part of it, allowing you to make blocks darker without altering their colour
most 3D builds that aren't purely monochrome

vagrant steeple
young bridge
#

mmmm boulder rain

lament briar

#

settings > controls

lament briar
#

No, not "how" lol...

I meant, "why" do you have your configuration set like that?

#

Like, you have two whip buttons...

vagrant steeple
#

its not for whips

lament briar
#

Your jump is at the bottom of the right side instead of the top of the right side...

vagrant steeple
#

its a use item and interact button

#

yeah

lament briar
#

For the purpose of the demo, I'm referencing it as a whip button.

vagrant steeple
#

my layout covers 3 things, fight, build, and everything else

#

its all for convenience

lament briar
#

Yeah... But, like...

#

Was your finger slipping whenever you were playing?

vagrant steeple
#

no

lament briar
#

I'm just curious as to the setup.

I've never tried that.

#

I've created a control setting called "Camera Mode"...

It eliminates every button but the direction pad and the jump button, and they're both smaller than default.

#

looking good.. i think..

spring kiln
#

What is that for

#

A floating island?

glossy sail
#

im gonna add dirt walls in the pillars as a "support"

#

it might look clearer when i finish building it

#

just a little fun project

spring kiln
#

Kind of like

#

Hmhmmh

glossy sail
#

something like this

spring kiln
#

I get it

#

Keep up the good work

next fiber
glossy sail
#

thats sick

#

mine isn t at that large of a scale unfortunately

spring kiln
glossy sail
#

i probably will

#

make it a bit larger at the top part of the pillar

spring kiln
#

Are you going for like, an underpass on a mountain, or just a floating thing

glossy sail
#

liek a tunnel being worked on under construction idk how to explain it

#

im gonna add crates and stuff

#

also maybe some like tiny hut at the top with a rope going down to thje bottom

#

im honestly just free styling

spring kiln
#

Kind of like a mine is being made and a mineshaft at the bottom of it?

glossy sail
#

yes

spring kiln
#

Landscaping it can be a pain

glossy sail
#

mm not quite sure if a hammered part looks better than non hammered

spring kiln
#

You can try to only hammer a few blocks and leave ones as it is

young bridge
#

Maybe that'd help

prisma meadow
#

what a struggle to make shape for shape that i'm not used to

glossy sail
#

like grass walls or something

#

im also gonna plant trees i just dont really have acorns right now

young bridge
spring kiln
#

Plant trees first

#

Before leaf walls

glossy sail
young bridge
#

More hills and bumps, hammered as well

#

Small snippet from that one build i keep reposting, here's an example
I hardly ever have full blocks without hammered/sloped blocks next to them

glossy sail
#

im horrible at this

spring kiln
#

You don't need to despise yourself, you'll eventually improve:)

young bridge
#

That looks good to be honest

#

Try to make things asymmetrical

#

Would help it look more natural
Things, especially foliage, are hardly ever summetrical

spring kiln
#

You can try to watch tutorials on how to landscape, or just place blocks until it looks appealing to you

glossy sail
#

mm i think i prefer how it was before, might opt for a slightly more simplistic look

young bridge
#

Up to you, a build looks the best when you think it looks good

glossy sail
#

true

#

i really like the like quarter block that happens once you hammer a block once

#

probably just gonna put a few of those around

young bridge
#

Also as for the foliage, you can use the rubblemaker, goblin tinkerer sells it
As for the other two, the demolitionist sells them.
This is already pinned if you ever need it

Seeds from the dryad always work too

young bridge

Uhh grass walls also from the dryad

glossy sail
#

i dont have the living leaf wand unfortunately

spring kiln
#

You need a living loom

glossy sail
#

i think im gonna opt for only grass walls and differently painted grass walls

glossy sail
young bridge
spring kiln
#

Shimmer your normal loom

spring kiln
young bridge
#

Or find one in the big living trees

glossy sail
#

arent there many living looms in the trees?

glossy sail
spring kiln
young bridge
#

The shimmering a regular loom into a living one is a fallback option in case your world doesn't have any

glossy sail
#

oh god i only have one living tree in this world

#

do they only spawn in expert and above? ive never seen one in my classic worlds

young bridge
#

They spawn randomly

#

Regardless of difficulty

spring kiln

Where's the pins at

Although there is a chance your world won't have any

#

is there a way to get mossy stone walls or something?

spring kiln
#

Scrape itt

young bridge
#

You can get moss through using a paint scraper on moss, then i assume you can craft it with stone into mossy stone walls

spring kiln
#

You should use vine walls instead

young bridge
spring kiln
#

I don't think its called a vine wall but

#

It's this one

#

Why did I call it vine wall

#

🀢

glossy sail
#

im on the wiki and i just eyed this wall

#

why does everything need ecto mist 😭

spring kiln
#

Ecto mist is a graveyard biome

glossy sail
#

i know

#

im too lazy to kill ymself

spring kiln
#

Relatable, but I just collect the tombstones

glossy sail
#

arghh i shouldve doen that

glossy sail
#

is there a way to make walls thinner?

young bridge
#

yes

rugged wedge
#

this is also on the wiki

#

under echo coating

#

might add it to echo walls as well but idk

#

or maybe just background walls\

glossy sail
#

ok i found what i wanted in the sawmill

#

didnt know beams existed

rugged wedge
#

idk why the echo walls add like a border while glass doesnt

#

kinda hard to notice

young bridge
# glossy sail didnt know beams existed

*i should mention beams are generally avoided when using them for their namesake because they take up block space
using fences to create beams while not taking up block space (but taking wall space instead) is a more widely used method

glossy sail
#

ah alr

rugged wedge
#

also ebonwood walls and large bamboo

young bridge
#

i'm not saying theyre bad blocks, theyre very pretty when used right

#

its just that beams are better used as blocks and not beams

young bridge
rugged wedge
#

mmmm ash wood

#

its like boreal but better

young bridge
#

not necessarily
but most of the time yes

rugged wedge
#

i would say ash wood looks better as like horizontal beams

#

but id be lying

#

in some cases

#

because the hard lines on boreal make it look more like a beam to me

young bridge
#

yeah...

glossy sail
#

living wood looks so similar to dirt

young bridge
glossy sail
#

i wanted to use it as flooring but i couldnt tell apart dirt and the living wood

young bridge
#

are you sure that's living wood then

glossy sail
#

yes

rugged wedge
#

no i get it

young bridge
#

i don't see it

glossy sail
#

can you tell me where the living wood is and where the dirt is?

#

the image is sending

#

why is my internet so shit

#

700 kb

young bridge
#

yeah

#

there's 2 blocks of living wood next to the regular wood

#

that's next to dirt

rugged wedge
glossy sail
#

welp

#

yeah you got it

#

but im struggling to tell them apart

rugged wedge
#

tbh i wouldnt really notice the difference if i wanst looking for the wood

#

we need a tick freeze for terraria

#

i need to take pictures of magical ice block without it breaking

glossy sail
#

should the design inside the house go? looks like im kinda trying too hard

regal coyote
#

#

#

imgur always exists

regal coyote
#

can you post imgur links without the perms?

rugged wedge
#

yeah

#

fixed up the no paint picture (added in echo and magical ice

#

now theres 30 more painted ones i need to change

glossy sail
#

welp thats pretty much the finished product

#

im just gonna clean up a bit with the torches and add trees on the top

young bridge
#

that looks really good icl

#

you should try the rubblemaker for some more foliage if you have the goblin tinkerer

glossy sail
#

im honestly.. really broke

#

and i have almost nothing to sell

cinder vortex
#

Events and bosses give some things worth some coin

young bridge
#

eye is a really nice source of cash early on if you get spare summons

#

you can sell the demonite/crimtane for nice cash

#

and on expert the shield is worth a nice amount

glossy sail
#

im gonna kill queen bee a few times for bees knees so she should be a nice money source for a bit

young bridge

young bridge
#

friendship ended with dryad flower seeds in planter boxes
rubblemaker plants are my new best friends

rugged wedge
#

they seem a lot easier to make than like strange plants

#

but also strange plants still have their use

#

bc they have the hitbox of 1 block (iirc) but it has the sprite of like a 2x3 or 3x3 plant

#

i need to retake EVERY SINGLE painted photo again because of a few mistakes, might kms πŸ˜‹

#

thats 30 different photos bc poo was in the wrong spot

young bridge
#

strange plants are sometimes too big sprite-wise

#

rubblemaker plants can fit in 2x2 or 2x3

#

instead of the strange plant's 3x3 fat ahh sprite being able to sit in a singular planter box

rugged wedge
#

i would say echo coat but....

#

thatd just echo coat the whole plant

young bridge
#

exactly

#

you can't tell me these planter boxes don't look sweet as hell

rugged wedge
#

can you even paint magical ice blocks?

plain owl
#

can you paint labubu blocks?

rugged wedge
#

i was wondering why the blocks werent placing

#

the ice blocks dont stay on tedit when saving

#

i take it that they break upon the world reloading

rugged wedge
#

i took every picture... then realized i had echo sight on

slender vessel
rugged wedge
#

now i need to edit in all the echo blocks

rugged wedge
#

heres an example of it, you just use different kinds of similar blocks to and it helps the overall feel of the build

#

mostly by breaking up the repeated textures

#

it also depends on what you want the build to feel/look like to know what to add
