so i cant un-skull blue dungeon brick
i dont know what to do for my well now
i may need a new block pallet for my walls
anyone got any advice?
The game doesn't store block states. I had to learn this the hard way.
If you need some consistency, you can always paint blocks that are regular, or those that have multiple block states but they look like each other.
ive been trying that, but i may need to replace the dungeon bricks...
Or, even better, just abandon everything in life and use harpy blocks. They are ALWAYS predictable, no matter which edge you are using.
what blocks?
Harpy Blocks, people are using them to make shingles, I'm using them to design things. Every single state of it is predictable.
yeah, but those wont be good for stone bricks in a well
The bottom ones always form semicircles, the middle ones are regular to the pixel, the top edge ones repeat themselves depending on which column they are, the edge ones are equal every time.
Can't slab help you in this case?
perhaps, tho i may need more so the since slab is kinda big
ebonstone brick would have been great, but im in a crimson world
guess i should wait for hardmode
its texture is based on east/west direction so yeah it'll always be the same pattern
same with gothic brick & easter block for depth level
👀
slightly
I cut off and brake check teslas to stress test their auto brake
😭
It’s really funny
They don’t want to let me merge but their car lets me
Cut off your local Tesla, it’s good for the environment
Which makes them amazing for what I need.
God, I like 1.4.5
So many new cool stuff for building
I WAS THINKING the general rules before joining this server number 6 says no promotion yet fails to tell me other creative outlets to prtomote on
Ur a fucking menace to society, hope you know that
No just to ev’s and student drivers
Everyone else fine
They don’t count as society 🤷♂️
What about those cars that had text on the back saying just got married 

It’s great training your reaction time for green lights by getting ready to honk at a student driver the second the light changes
Lmaooooo
Wizard's Library
Solid 8
Fair =3. I wasn't sure about how much to colour the crystal parts, as colouring the easter blocks removes the pattern and texture.
Your a wizard harry lol
It is.
*You're. Also Rincewind > Harry Potter.
You're right lol. My bad. It's still pretty cool, first build I've seen with easter blocks.
Fr
“Slightly”
agree... boulder block, harpy, like 20 new furniture sets almost, all of em got super cool pieces... new chests are so cool
insane opinion 😭
try painting the easter block and see if it blends better with the building, so many colors lol the pastel yellow clashes with the dark reds and blues imo
just a suggestion up to you 👍
I tried that. It just erased the detail and pattern of the easter blocks.
Like those greek house thingies, yk what im talking about, i also tried to build with marble in the past and it came out horrible
Your marble build is awesome, are you playing on ds, if so that makes it even more impressive
No im on mobile, I removed all my controls to take a better screenshot
3ds is definitely not capable of looking like that lol
wip ss
Awesome work, how janky is it to play?
not that janky, you get used to it
i dont think you can play mobile with no controls
its just for the screenshots
I can't post my builds here, can I dm you mine?
yeah sure
i know how well that went last time
Thank you matey, I wasn't tryna get them posted quicker, looked like I found a "real" one, appreciate you bud
Don't look at me!!!
😂😂😂
I'm new to building so would appreciate any feedback to potentially making my builds better
use more paint
Yeah good shout, I'm using paint on the sand build to add accents
ooo nice
sunplate?
Yeah
I dont build much but I love the grinding aspects of the game like mining or drops from mobs
You can see me build it above the build
Oh also fishing
im trying to learn building so I can do it
I think I have terraria on mobile PC and Switch
?? i guess bro 😭
From my experiance it is
Nah it is
Not as tasty, but just as satisfying
Yeah
man automod is EVIL
Automod
Anyone got any good custom draedon labs I wanted to look at upgrading mine to fit the theme more
https://www.reddit.com/r/CalamityMod/comments/1ds2lwy/draedon_lab_themed_base/
Something I'm totally not planning on ripping off.
Been working on this in my building world. Wonder what else I can do with this. 🤔
and my wip sunken sea project
https://imgur.com/a/uCj7AyS
This is awesome
The roof you using walls or actuated blocks
mostly walls
the edges are non-actuated blocks and the main part is walls
Ok ok thanks I might steal the idea
people also commonly use shingles with different walls
Oh also do you have a garden design or build I can look at
like common walls are hive, crimstone brick, harpy
i dont 
closest thing is this
Shiii ok I’ll keep looking but nice build
awsome i can send imgur
ok so this is what im working on
wanted to see other designs i can look at to merge into mine or see how others handle decoration
and im not sure what to do with the rest of the stuff under everything
i was planning on having the water flow in for power since im playing with calamity overhaul but idk nothing here is built for turrets i just dont have any around
like normal draedon labs have designated turret locations and i just havent built that into my base
i could built it into the arena tho but there is a issue of it might be distracting when trying to dodge
I like the trophy case a lot. Tweaked your design a bit so it's like a stasis pod kind of thing.
https://imgur.com/a/7IIUz1t
i was going for a stasis pod type design like glass around it and all hense the viewing part on the post moonlord area
but didnt work out to well so scrapped it
whats the blocks you used on the side of it?
the green one
i might add it to mine
looks really good
Actuated cryonic bricks
oh wow wait thanks so much thats a really good block
Pirate ship covered in, well... Pies, and rats
Inspiration: Someone close to me happens to be a rat in the Chinese zodiac, and he was eating a pie at the time while discussing pirates
yo guys, i might need help
i honestly have NO IDEA how to make a nursery/pharmacy house for the nurse
all i have is a future source of marble for the white theme, and nothing else
and idk where to start
After all the mannequin propoganda, I hopped on Terraria, excited by the prospect I could have a mannequin swinging fishrons whip to look like an actual eel in the last aquarium layer I'm building. I placed a mannequin. I put a placeholder starcrash into the weapon slot. I eagerly hammered the mannequin. I've never been more disappointed in my life that whips render the handle plus one (1) singular tiny bit of the actual whip and ends there instead of the whole thing like all other weapons. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
exporting the plague are you
thats hilarious
dang i havent tried whips yet
yoyos look fine
WIP
Does anyone know how I can light this place up better without it being obvious that there's just a bunch of invisible light sources around?
Fulbright paint? (Or an item of a similar name)
See, I could do that, but it wouldn't light up the player. I actually did use it on the Reaper, but he's supposed to be fairly lit
Youd have to evenly space echo painted torches out at an interval :/
Maybe... that's something I'm trying to avoid resorting to, though
Hey, I’m trying to think of how I should do my pirate’s house
Because I also need to have it be close to the angler
I had a few ideas, but I dunno if they’d be too big
Good morning everybody...
One of the big ones that is in my head is a part of a shipwreck that got turned into a house, but idk what part of the ship I’d use and it not be too big to fit the angler close by
Gmornin
But yeah, I guess I’m looking for ideas and inspiration
For Terraria? Anything specifically?
A pirate's house?
Hmm... Beach biome?
And I’m working with my short beach since the Long Beach is covered by my aether pylon
Not specifically a house, correct?
Well, a place he can live that’s nice and thematic
Do they 😭 maybe I just need to check my video quality settings..
I wanna make good houses for each of em
Okay... Let me take a look...
Going through my files takes a moment, since I'm on mobile lol.
Bear with me...
But yeah,I don’t have the most space to work with either as again, this is the short beach
And the Oceanside may be taken up by a dock house for the angler
You should totally.. build a house in a skeleton of a beached whale
That would be sick, but idk how I’d do the house part
And that feels like it’d be awesome for a crimson beach
Built this like 2 years ago so it's not like super great aha https://imgur.com/a/dHAfVPX
Ooooo fun
Neither are mine but it's a good display of ocean materials... Wood, etc...
I still have my first angler house saved that I made in 1.3.5 because I liked the idea of thematic housing back then
I didn't know there was a 10 file limit... Would have been nice to know that and just delete extra files instead of losing all of them... 😑
Sad
Used tedit back then for pictures so no paint
I’m still proud of the dock and roof, but may make something more functional form this time around
Like…I’m tempted to give each npc a fully furnished house
As a building challenge
Aka bedroom, bathroom, living room/kitchen, and work utilities
But the way Klovar, truly magnificent.
Agreed
The second group of pictures... I gave you a variety of locations.
But before I build, I wanna have an idea of what I’m building…
Building cliffs... Under the water, in the water, over the water lol.
Yeeeee they all look so amazing!!
The whale... Is a lot lol. But something I haven't seen, if you like the animal display...
What about a turtle, appropriately displayed?
More commonly known as an aspidochelone?
They're the huge creatures that you see in legends, mistaken as islands lol.
There's a giant slime build I included...
Not for the slime. But for the... Abstract build. The wreckage... The zany overhang...
There are two lighthouses, which seem like appropriate jobs for a retired pirate lol...
I guess I have some constraints on my building:
- make sure it doesn’t get in the way of actually fishing in the ocean
- make sure the angler and pirate are close enough to each other for happiness
- make sure the houses feel thematic, like “would they actually live in this/like to live in this?”
- I am limited in space a bit since the dungeon generated fairly close to the small beach
But those ship designs, damn
And a lighthouse sounds like an amazing thing to build for my other beach
I’ll save all of these
I think it would help center yourself if you decide the main theme of the build...
That pirate ship floating was my first sort of thought, and I would love to make something like that
Yeah…
The angler living in a dingy or small vessel sounds like a kid...
I included the last three as an example of underwater.
Underwater doesn’t sound like it’d be a theme I’d go for
I believe one of them is Khaios... The fifth to the last.
Well, keep in mind... When shimmered, the angler becomes a Kappa, and the pirate becomes a ghost...
Ahhh thank you!!
Turtle with island sounds super cool too to be honest
Underwater is totally appropriate, if you go that way.
Yeah... I imagine you could do a larger... Hmm..
Have you played or seen Majora's Mask?
I'm stealing the seahorse design wahhh
I have heard good things about it, but haven't played yet unfortunately
There's an island turtle in that. And it's used in Super Smash Bros., so finding a 2D build would be easy lol.
Ye I love Zelda
Maybe the other ocean haha
You know what I'm talking about?
I like animal themed builds, they're just so cool
I mean, these builds weren't supposed to give you a "that's the one" and you copy it verbatim.
Like…all this at once is a bit overwhelming when I’m still in the concept phase
But the question is, did any of them give a direction you feel comfortable heading in?
You said not underwater, correct?
It did show me what’s possible given ocean body sizes
Yeah
Eliminating a destination helps shape your journey. 😊
I can rule that out
Okay, what about on top of the water? Like a boat?
That is an idea I was considering, I’d need to measure my ocean to see how much space I have to work with
Okay, maybe.
In the water? Like an island or sea animal?
My 2 ideas for pirate were either floating ship or shipwreck turned house
Mmm... Perfect!
At least to start
And the other logical issue is him and the angler being near to each other
24 blocks circular is not a lot to work with
how do you guys build with marble
Look at Greek/roman stuff
May I suggest these?
That actually is a good idea... The flying Dutchman is something I included lol.
Hmmm…
These ships range in size.
The last one, I've built as a replica, and it is HUGE.
But it shows materials, and a direction.
The ship is docked though.
What do you mean Real?
Do you know which one helped you the most?
Well…mostly the ship ones
😁
And those first 2 potentially
It still counts lol.
Again, i haven’t picked an exact direction yet
how do i use marble better
i did
I need to get a vision
Use marble crafting tables as pillar tops
I think you're giving yourself too little credit.
You have picked a direction...
You just don't know where the destination is.
the foundation is one of my coolest ever
but the marble house itself is bad
yeah but how do i use it as the main block
There's a huge difference between being lost in the woods and knowing where you should head... Compared to being in a forest and having no idea which way the sun sets and rises lol.
Yeah…
Yeah, I don’t know where to head
Real, what... Are you trying to build exactly?
like
yk bro
those greek houses
the cool ones
with leaves
and marble
And that looks great.
because the foundation
the house is bad
i dont like that house
I think what's messing with you is that... The house is inaccessible because you're missing bridges.
Well…entire normal houses weren’t marble
Marble was used for large structures, open plan
Gazebos
what are gazebos
You could make it bigger lol.
no its not that
my original plan was yo
make a hand
come out of the river
to connect the house to the
but i couldnt do it
Why?
Could you use this hand?
no like a raised hand
It's a process, I started off with the idea of a giant sword sticking in the ground, but now I have a hero's tomb thing going on.
https://imgur.com/a/1hNnMyF
like ✋ but its horizontal
Yeah... That's what I'm saying. Take the hand, and change the wrist.
He's holding a platter.
Delight, you choose the sword tip!?!?
Hmm...
Still in flux cause I moved on from the pylon iea
Hate how it's misaligned with the enchanted sword lol
It draws attention though!
And I instantly recognized it, and knew we had discussed it!
It's distinctive, I knew nobody else took it lol...
It really does look good. 😁
And to be fair, you are using it as an example to others about patience and getting out of your comfort zone.
Even if you change it, it looks amazing.
I'm proud. 😊
You're not wrong 😛 Might just move the sword to the ground as you walk up. It'll look better once it's enclosed since I have a ton of lightning around the tomb.
May I save a copy of the picture you sent on here?
Of course lol.
And I feel like after thousands of years, if that sword fell, you're not banking on a small tip to wreck the pedastal, but instead, a cleaved part that will do significant damage lol.
Real, as for a hand...
You want the fingers facing the direction of the player?
So all you see is a palm?
Hmm...
Dang…I’m still having trouble with a vision. I guess I need to consider this first, is there enough leniency with happiness to give the angler and pirate 2 separate houses and still be happy
I feel like I need to see the distance and I’m away from my computer
You could always expand the ocean. According to the wiki, it's considered ocean as long as you're within 338 tiles horizonitally of the world's edge and above the midpoint of the underground level.
I guess that’s a BIG thing for me, one big house for both npc’s or giving each of the two their own house
Hmm 25 tile radius is pretty close if you're going for multiple large houses.
What if you do something like an island with a shack and a nearby ship?
Maybe I should grab the land I’m working with first
Hypermun, do you really need them to be a perfect radius?
Just in range
Hmmm…ok, so to clear my mind, maybe I should focus on another build and wait til I can grab my land
Like, there’s a few builds I can make safely before my hardmode V comes into play
Since I’m still in pre hardmode and wanna build what I can before the early hardmode death loop begins
Jungle, beach, aether, middle forest, and hell
Desert, ice, mushroom, and underground will depend completely on how my hardmode V is
I know who I want to live in all these places
Like for jungle it’s dryad, witchdoctor, and painter
But their houses I have a different mental stump with
Should I give them fully furnished stuff?
On one hand, it’d be nice amenities, but on the other…the dryad and witchdoctor are nature people. Would it make sense for em to have stuff like a bathroom?
I could have witchdoctor and dryad share a house too-
I don’t know if I don’t have enough ideas or too many ideas aaaaaa
Yall ever get like that?
I know this for sure, for painter I wanna give an art studio in the jungle
Something more put together probably compared to the dryad’s and witch doctor’s more traditional huts/housing?
Or would that clash too much?
sorry for the late reply
yeah ill try to copy that
They are walls.
ok, so for the beach i wanna make a pylon at...this is all the beach i have to work with-
but i got about a screen and a half of ocean to work with
Ya'll think I should eventually put my world up for download once it is eventually finished? I've posted photos of it here before, and it has existed for over 10 years.
You can use echo painted torches around existing light sources only to boost those. More light that looks like what you got just stronger.
How do I post pictures? I want to show what I have built and ask for tips/ideas about what to add.
You need Terrarian role or otherwise use Imgur
Imgur?
image hosting website. Does not require an account.
How do I get terraria role?
IIRC, multiple posts within a minute or so don’t count as multiple towards the role.
Just interact here often enough and you’ll get Terrarian.
Idk how to decorate the background.
You could start with stone slab wall then maybe try other walls with it to see how it looks.
Stone slab paired with other walls can look good especially if you’re going for an underground build look.
Dark Harvest to go with theme and progression, or terraprisma since this is where I'm storing all my summoner stuff
That reminds me a lot of a style that Fury Forged did for one of his builds
He had a giant mansion made from spooky wood
Was meant to be haunted
I've always just loved spooky wood, and since this fast build is for post mech summoner, think it fits perfectly
plan would be something like this, def not doing it now but yk the idea's there
have some wires and lamp posts in the middle of the tower things, some sort of wiring maybe hanging from the bridging and idk what inside of it
I think this is finished for now. A few builds here originate from 1.1.
I included my dragon in this screenshot.
that dragon is actually peak okay thats awsome
Made from painte demonite ore, crimstane ore, hellstone, and other blocks
mostly were able to tell them appart but the ones in the shadows arent easy, thank u thats awsome
Cool. What loot does it drop?
Hey @merry elm, how is it going?
Tree isn’t too bad but you can definitely do more with the jungle house.
Any tips are appreciated
I gotchu
Oh yeah way more awesome textures and use of blocks on these
Giving depth to builds is something I’m not very good at
@versed shuttle Should give some good ideas for jungle builds.
You can't really see in some of the screenshots but I used fog machines for effect.
I’ll keep working on it
Looks more like hell
Yeah the blood moon lol
I could probably echo paint the fog machines tbh
The fact it's such an ancient world you've done a ton of stuff in makes me naturally curious in wanting to explore it. I'd love to check it out.
actually just curious, if it's a 1.1 era world how come there's some modern biome generation things like the shimmer, new mushroom biomes and ocean layouts? TEdit?
World originates from 1.1 on Console. The world was originally much smaller, but when I transferred it to PC, part of the map was bugged. The bottom half of the world was like cut off and wouldn't load. I guess that's a bug that happens when you use old console worlds on PC. So the only way I could fix it is to move all of my current builds onto a fresh up to date world that was generated on PC. I did this 2 years ago.
Oh that makes sense
Did you have TEdit on hand to make things easier, or did you rebuild everything by hand?
I used Tedit to just copy and paste everything I already had. The nice thing was that because the world is so much bigger now, I can fit more builds into it.
A mix of both. Obviously my console builds were done by hand. But for houses it is actually easier to build by hand imo.
Oh cool. Though what about the underworld builds since you said that bottom half got cut off?
In game it got cut off.
It's like being in a multiplayer server where part of the map won't load.
Bottom half of underworld got cut off.
damn
Some good stuff you made
Keep up dude
I think it had something to do with the map dimensions being weird. Back on console, world generation sizes were completely different.
1.1 era builds just make me feel extremely nostalgic for how Terraria was like 14 years ago, and memories of my childhood long gone too
in particular I remember Yrimir's builds the most, back when he was still around :(
My buddy whatofit made that floating island for me over 10 years ago.
I'd love to let you explore it. I need to fix a bug that prevents me from hosting it on PC.
I think it's because I have a huge pool of water underground. If I remove it with Tedit, it might fix it so I can host.
@hallow surgeWhat is your Steam?
you don't want to make a copy of it for download? I think that'd be easier
doesn't have to be public or anything
eventually I probably will make it public, once I’m satisfied that it’s finished
fair, I just meant you could probably DM me the world file as it currently is, since I don't really feel like going on multiplayer rn
it's not like I'm gonna share it or anything
And things slow to a crawl on this evening lol...
Use Imgur
What's that?
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Np
Need to change that username to dog and cat and the goat lol
This is amazing, really good job
@proper ivy your jungle builds are crazy good
@shell siren could you help me to please
What
With sending a photo
Imgur
no, for some reason that's just a blank imgur page for me
cant see it
That is not your first house
Everyone’s first house was a wooden box stop lying
https://imgur.com/a/uesYoEG sky island :)
lovely work! The cloud are gorgeous :)
thanks :)
https://imgur.com/a/qu9cJie I made a futuristic variant too because I wanted to do something with the new duskware set; also I'm just not that experienced building futuristic stuff in Terraria lol
Absolutely outstanding
Ooo what did you use to make those patterns in the clouds?
i believe they used cloud block, cloud wall, and a hammer 
These are peak
Finally a good space theme build
DUSKWARE CHEST SPOTTED
PEAK
slopware chest?
Hi! This is I think my first post here and I wanted to show off this design I made for my Hellevator walls and I'm really proud of what I got here
https://imgur.com/pU0PehS
It looks very nice, might be a little trippy to look at while falling though
Kinda what I was planning for honestly
I'm kind of interested in what the start and end points look like.
So the end point is gonna probably end up uninteresting. The start point, though, I haven't quite figured out yet
so I started building stuff about a month ago. https://imgur.com/a/3FpUbz6 I feel that this looks pretty good. Thoughts?
Overall, it is a pleasant build.
That is a huge bedroom though lol...
What are those tables on the first floor? The ones painted white?
blocking you asap
you should try to make the towers on the top less triangular and more archy yknow?
I dont care if u dont believe me lol
It takes me longer to do this than to defeat the bosses lol
I believe those are flinx tables painted white
yeah I love the flinx set and those tables are amazing
cloud blocks, walls, and platforms (hammered appropriately)
I really like the new furniture they've added tho I think this one and the gothic set may be my favorites of the new ones
how did bro wear a full set of the same vanity with grey dye and dyed wings... and win the vanity contest
Is that all it took to win? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
castle I'm working on, harpy blocks are annoying to get istg
Why a cloud flag?
As a temporary wall until I get sails(not in hardmode yet) or until I find a better wall
I like the stairs so far
If you don't mind, I'm gonna borrow that roof design. Is neat.
So do you use clouds as all placeholders, or just this time in this case?
just this time since it was the closest thing in my storage that looked like a flag
the harpy block was also gonna be temporary until I got dynasty shingles but I might keep it
Mmm.
Thank you for answering the random questions Nova.
The castle looks great though.
I would try experimenting with them as a combination.
Mostly because that is a large chunk of harpy blocks lol.
They look great as an outline though... Maybe dynasty as the filler in the center?
yeah that could work, I dont really like the different colored bits on the top of harpy blocks
I'm also surprised to see the stairs continuing to move as you pass into the final parapet of the tower...
Are you going to keep that?
The space inbetween the bricks was just to save materials since I ran out of stone, the gap is also gonna be filled to make it look sturdy
I like it.
It's different.
I hope you keep it.
oh, in that case im gonna try to keep it
the center could be dirt and nobody would know :)
also beautiful staircases
Awesome stairs 🔥🔥
Is there a way to trigger echo coated items using wires? Ie make them appear and disappear?
Yes.
The Echo Chamber is a furniture item. It can be activated and deactivated similarly to a monolith. When active, it grants the ability to see Echo Blocks, Echo Platforms, Echo Walls, Ghostly Stinkbug Blockers, and tiles painted with Echo Coating. It can also be equipped as a vanity accessory, which enables...
Hmm, don't think it'll work for my idea. I have this spiral staircase that's hooked up to sensors so they deactuate when you're on it. Was thinking maybe I could incorporate echo coating so they spawn in front of you as well.
youd need to wire each sensor to seperate echo chambers
Isn't it a range effect? Like I can't have an echo chamber only effect one step? Suppose I can do some weird junk by finding the edges of the zone and linking it like that.

How does this Empress of Light pixel art look next to this build?
is the castle made with pearlstone
if so yes
if not eh the islands are hallowed anyway, as long as theres hallowed nearby it makes sense
almost done with the area outlines
Yes
Also, the pixel art itself is made from hallowed ice blocks
perf
yessss nice
You down to play? I see you're on PC
I'm looking to open up my world.
im working on something right now 😅
maybe someday, ive seen a lot about your world its sick
What is this?I mean, more along the lines of, this looks like Castlevania... Or Metroid. I love the idea but are you really planning on filling every room?
I feel like you might be able to do that, it'd just take a lot of chambers and a lot of sensors
bulding in classic mode is fun
Its my own castlevania map, It is called terravania
And yes
are there unsafe variants of marble/ granite? I want to make surface biomes of each for a planned forever world
I might have to learn tedit for this one
i dont think so, ive only ever used unsafe spider and dungeon walls
you can use the regular blocks
those spawn the enemies on the surface?
no probably not but underground they do
oh dang
I want the normal enemies to be able to spawn in surface minibiomes
Like the spiders can spawn anywhere there are unsafe spider walls
best thing you can do is use statues with echo coating
Spawn bases are so satisfying to make
i actually wanna try and build good bases for all the pylons
but i just spend all my time building spawn base and nothing else
me too
I end up planning for so long that i get bored of the game and i havent even done much
i usually make a world play it for a week and just make a new one
#activities-submission wym they arent blocks 😭
it's classified as a block but also you cant interact with it so technically not a block????
terraria is weird
We could just call it a tile and leave it at that
it's a self described as a block in the title and classified as a block but it has no collision so its not a block... sure
the loopholes are insane
I think the reason it's classified as a block is because it can be placed anywhere and doesnt have to be ontop of something else
but then platforms should be classified as blocks in that case...
yeah im just not gonna think about this anymore
In the msg i replied to they pointed out blood zombie statue & banner
Not those
Or well
Not blood zombie banner
But the banner there
Just a case of their msg was edited
Which is why this msg exists #activities-submission message
Also if we really want to get into technicalities living fire blocks aren't just dropped by hell enemies
It can be dropped by underground crimson enemies, especially given hoe hardmode v generates
But the living fire blocks ultimately aren't a major deal
If we really want to get nitpicky the activity asked for a house
But activities have plenty wiggle room for participants
i like that 
hellooooo
should i fill in this part of my build?
im really considering it just to jam some rooms in here
for the record i am referring to both sides, i just outlined one half because .... lazy
honestly im also kind of lost on the inside part of these pillars, like i want to keep the circular shape of the storage room but there's so much unushed space in the pillar area
I think it could use some variety by mixing a few different blocks/walls, but overall this looks really great
my main gripe really is what functionality i can give the interior part of the left and right
can't really figure out what pallete to use because they don't serve a purpose right now other than aesthetics
Considering how big the base is, it's not bad to have some of it just be aesthetic
So I'm working on my next npc house; it'll be for my stylist & angler, and I decided to go for a sorta Hawaiian style beach-house that also has a barber shop\spa. I'm planning it out in tmodloader right now, but I have some questions.
Does it look too small?
I wanted to replicate the palm leaf roof, but are there better blocks to use than hay?
And what block is the best to use as carpet? I tried using cloud blocks, but they do not take paint very well.
Oh the shape of the house looks really nice
as for carpet, i think flinx block works really well
Thanks! I kinda just winged it lol
Is that a new block added? I don't see it in the item catalog I've got on tmodloader
1.4.5 yeah
Alright, I'll give it a try when I actually start building it in my world
Yeah it just requires flinx fur which is always annoying to get
This shape is very unique and amazing...
I havent experimented with the new blocks much yet, harpy may honestly be my favorite roof block
It looks like a sharper dynasty shingles
Thank you!!!! <3
Harpy blocks as roofing is so peak its actually insane
Love the new blocks theyve added
Hmmm…ok so I’m gonna build a pirate ship for my pirate to live in and which will be the centerpiece of my beach pylon build, but I’m struggling for what kind of ship to build. I could wing it and go for something more cartoony, but I feel it’d be best to try something based on irl pirate ships to try and translate that into terraria. I’m not sure which direction to take…
I haven't tried the harpy blocks yet. I am going to steal this.
what can i do to make it more alive? less boxy and make it look more like those professional cool builds
i can entirely alter anything i dont really mind from color to walls to anything i just want it to look better
paints, woods and dynasty shingles
dnyasty shingles?
would that work with my build?
im aiming for 2 towers one being crimson themed or red and the other corruption
shingles fit everywhere
how would i implement that into my tower?
?
woulldnt it look really weird for the weird tower thing above it?
well
do u wanna join my world rq?
i'll pass
all good
started to play slay the spire 2
Im gonna try and see how that looks though
If you want straight walls all the way up, I recommend swapping to woods that have a smoother edge or use something other than wood. Alternatively you can make it not straight up. Have some rooms stick out and you can even make teraces above those.
For walls, you usually want two+ types of walls for each room. A standard I like for basic builds is bottom row brick wall, then plancked wall, then the rest some sort of wood. Depending on size of room I make top row something too
thats alot of good advice ty
so far i improved it slightly and it looks a little better im going step by step
You'll get it much better in no time, but try to build to your taste and not ours
to be honest when it comes to building i enjoy it and ive been good at it in other games but when it comes to terraria it is its own league
so theres many techniques i dont really know of yet
I can make a super quick reference build for you, if you'd like, so you can see some of the different options
that would be amazing
for me to be honest the main issue is the coloring
compared to other buillding games the choices are usually limited and its easier to choose out things
but terraria is so wide on its possibilities it makes it difficult to know all the combinations
My paint game sucks, so can't help you there. I mostly just use the brown or grey one
Here's a super quick tower with woods I had on hand. Hopefully you like some of the textures.
Painted ebonwood wall (second from bottom) is my go-to to put on the sides of windows
top is perlwood roof/side, mahagony wall, planked walll, and brick wall
okay thank you
woods in order: pearl, mahogany, palm, boreal, ebon, ash, regular. Walls; Mahogany, ash, pearl, regular, boreal, ebon, palm
Shoudl i change anything
Sorry for bad screenshot
Im tryna make a herb planter room
Hey Moon, may I ask a quick question?
i like the texturing, maybe more details on the roots and the branches, rubblemaker can add a lot alone
the build in this gif is very interesting, I'm curious if this is also a spoiler for new stuff for builders
It doesnt look like it has anything new, but it does use some weird block combos
what is that? im a noob
a don't starve together pet
grommers flower or something
the furniture placement is definitely new and not something in the current vanilla
they teased last snapshot some level of tedit sprite placement
i didnt even notice those tubs
I think under the clocks is a marble bathtub?
Why do you say that though?
Is it because the clock is over the bathtub?
there is a bathtub placed directly on top of a clock, without using glitches that isn't possible, there is also a tile under the clock that is cut off
they've already shown off this feature in a previous snapshot
I'm kind of curious... I've tried floating a candelabra using teleporters, but it didn't work on mobile.
Is it a guaranteed thing on PC?
here is the first reveal
the original "two teleporters" furniture floating glitch has been patched, although on PC you can still do it by placing a teleporter, then 2 metal bars and then the furniture item on the metal bars and then breaking the teleporter
Yes, I remember seeing that... I just don't see how it relates.
Please understand, this isn't me discrediting or disagreeing with you.
You're most likely right.
But... I cannot imagine some kind of item allowing you to place partial... Parts... Of a block.
I guess it would use up several of the desired items as if you placed them to count as material...
It's the collision I can't wrap my head around.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong... The newest post you have, is the bathtub placed on hammered platforms?!?
I'm not entirely sure how it would work itself, while something like this and to this extent is only possible with TEdit, if the devs manage to release this in such a state that would be a huge buff for builders
Yeah, I'll say... There was a builder who spliced banners into their build.
Seeing a salamander check books out at an underground library blew my mind lol...
Out of curiosity, do you mind discussing this a little more?
Where do you put the metal on the teleporter?
You can send what you were going to say though... Sorry lol.
on the teleporter yeah
the bathtub is not on any platforms as I can tell, it's likely the vortex clock, another sprite, and then a pink dungeon bathub on top of that sprite
No... I mean below the clock.
Level with the player. It looks like platform, marble tub, clock...
It isn't hammered three times?
Thank you Ranu.
And CJ, thank you!
That trick works!
if you can recreate that and show me, I don't really see it
It's been driving me insane.
I retract my statement...
That is part of the bathtub lol.
I didn't realize how thick of a base that specifically had lol.
spawn is looking nice
You doing more furniture on the house on the right?
yes
i need books and stuff
@proper ivy you're a fucking maestro matey
This looks really good, lovely build
heres my unfinished hell build
I like that
@proper ivy is just showing off now lol
thanks
I can't post my creations here and can't access imgur can I dm you mine @next fiber ?
sure
Not asking you to post them just want some feedback
Nice, you should incorporate some upside down crosses.
Hey, these builds took a while to make lol.
the owner of the playthrough rage quit so i cant work on it, was really hoping to finish it too
I bet, I'm making a sand castle and I've been like 25 hours in so far
Pictures?
Why can't you work on it? Are you in someone else's server?
it was their world
and they stopped playing, it was a while ago
You can always build something similar in your own and just improve on it.
i never finish my builds so idrc
i only build during playthroughs usually
My world is over a decade old and originated from PS3.
Is now a PC world thanks to modern conversion methods.
I've done numerous playthroughs on current and old versions of Terraria. At this point I really just build now.
I want to finish up my world and make it available to download eventually, and make it also function as an all items world too.
Problem is, my world is bugged in some way that I am unable to host it.
Can't post here, I'll dm you
Thank you matey
made this art piece for a video
Peak
Built the shrine in a multiplayer server(I didn't have the environment element and nor paint access) still is it good?
Forest has those purple miss bricks, cuz I had access to those only in that world T_T
you knos you can send more than one attachment at a time right
he sent those 2 minutes apart
i think he was just walking around and going places between taking screenshots
oh above that
lol yeah nvm thats 4 in one minute 😂
hey what did you use here? above the clock? it looks like a really cool face id like to use in a jungle temple build lol
Not entirely sure but try looking through the bathtubs or even beds might be a good idea
yeah i think its a bathtub but the thing behind it is weird
Isn't that just balloon wall?
Mhm they exist
i legit didnt know if that block had wall variants
thats a pillar clock
on top is a pink dungeon bathtub
it's a pink dungeon bathtub, also not my build
https://imgur.com/a/nY28zHa Start of my dungeon rebuild in this world
hell yeah!
Oooooh
nice goth steeple
you would've loved my cenotaph build
Elevator i did some weeks ago
Not my server, I didn't have access to paints, but yea if feels good after being able to join pc host again
Finally continued with this mod
The golfer is next
(that's actually not a casual building or public server sry, we do hardcore challenges there and have selected members)
Still thanks!
Yes i understand but I can't invite you cuz of permission , but you can give me reference it'll still help
How did you do this
looks like office workbench painted black, steampunk candle painted gray, and living candle painted grey (with invisible echo platform holding up the steampunk candle)
@junior ridge
the only thing hardmode there is there steampunk candle
#general-chat ignore this
What should i use for lights
And is there anything i should add
Make changes or anything
you could always add some torches and echo-coat them
How do j get echo thing
Graveyard
you get it from the painter while he's in a graveyard
maybe even make some parts of the roof into glass so it looks like light from the outside is coming in
Its that easy 😭 i thought you cna only get em in hardmode
they changed it in the update
I ended up finding a neat alternative with team blocks
but now I'm having trouble with making the mirror look like
well, a mirror
white gemsparkwall painted white?
yep
I had to use offline though because the normal one glows and looked too much like a screen
i don't think there is any other block that would look like mirror
maybe raindow wallpaper painted white?
or purple rain wallpaper painted white
i think those 2 would work
oh wow this looks way better!
looked alot better than expected
been wanting to incorporate a mirror in some of my builds. I'm going to use this. Cool idea.
Hey Moon, do you know how to configure controls?
nice work :)
which one is better
oh, i think the right one is better then
I want to build this, but I'm not sure what to make the axels from. Maybe stone slab painted black?
Prefer right
yeah the aurora color
Green one goes better I reckon, see it more often irl
The last one actually looks terrible 😂
It was on an older phone
very very wip castle
Them stairs at the middle be peak
so im attempting to build a pirate ship based off of a bermuda sloop, how am i doing?
think this is a good block pallet n size?
im still struggling with the horizontal beam
basing it off of stuff like this
yall got any advice/
Alright so I did some thinking and I'm gonna have to make this bigger if I want to fit a bathroom, kitchen, and two bedrooms in it.
I don't know anything about these ships (or any ships), but I'm looking at the pictures, and to me the only thing that's missing is the front pole being split into two poles
I have some pipes in the walls of my build, but they are too dark to see really. How can i make them stand out a bit more?
This looks awesome I was planning on doing a pirate ship for my ocean pylon, great minds
https://imgur.com/a/nG8i3pp first build with changes to environment / multiple houses
Looks really nice, one thing i'd say could add alot of texture is to use snow walls with the snow on the roof
it adds depth and generally looks nice
oo oki ill try, thanks!
Did you take that?, man i wanna see aurora borealis in the future
Ye all my pics, the 2nd and 3rd are from my back and front yard and I do not remember about the 1st
It’s aight
more tame than the house i have him in my calamity world
YES 😭
i love this build so much, it was so hard to reach my goblin without drowning cause of how deep we put him
thats hilarious because after all that he's probably STILL going to scam you
oh he had the audacity to steal like 50 plat for 1 reforge while he lived down there
Terraria ... I know I'm not the best builder, but must the sky rage every time I attempt it?
Not a build of blocks but I think vanity also counts well enough here
Made this set in journey, I really like it because I've finally made a set that isn't dye heavy
(misclicked and didn't post this one lol)
Exhibit A: (I still like this set tho, just glad I can finally change up my designs a bit)
Finished the aquarium. Well, mostly, haven't beat up fishron for the whip so it's currently a random whip and even if I do beat him up if I don't like the whip I'll probably change it anyway but oh well https://imgur.com/a/gg3ANAw
Anddd I forgot to spawn in the sharks and whatnot again
Very nice
Thank youu
Rahh how am i supposed to show my creation if i cant send my creations without the terrarian role
Show me ur build to hook me back into building stuff
17th repost
Would be cool if its the 18th repost
I wish there was a fence with an X pattern in vanilla so we wouldn't have to use grates all the time
okay that wasn't a good example since the grates in there are in front of a background wall but still
dude i JUST realised the top left grate isnt hammered at the top right 😭😭😭
gfb floating island or something
it's the new lava cloud
cloud at a skymill near lava
Yes it's a cool block as you can see from my pictures above
Lava cloud?
I have seen this
Lol I have that mug.
I think if you can fit a nice sail in there no need to make it taller, mostly so it'll all be on screen
Yes really, it's shocking
If not you'll have like one awkward bit of the mast just out of screen
fair, its more so i can get the topsail to be bigger
Thanks lol, it's my favorite coffee mug lmao
and i was hoping for suggestions for what to do about the jibsail mast, as you see the living wood and dynasty kinda clash there to give it that smooth look
What kind of sail are you going for?
I know, right?
It's like it's made out of porcelain or jade (I know it isn't jade, but there's like a hefty weight to it lol)...
Yeah it's just a regular coffee mug. But it definitely has some weight to it
Lmao
It's a pretty big cup so probably weights more then a regular cup
Always thought of mugs as like, the stuff you can put in a microwave for hot drinks so definitely don't think paper is a mug haha
That's fair
Are both of the clouds in the picture lava, or water?
trying to base it on a bermuda sloop ot boats akin to it
the stuff actual pirates used
I mean you already eat like 5g of it daily or something so what's a little more!!
It's lava clouds with red gemspark blocks for the red waterfalls. The house is half sun plate and half moon plate. Was just a quick build on my switch
No, this "bad boy" is naturally layered.
You don't heat it up for longer than a minute and grab it bare-handed.
You'll hear your palm sizzling as it fuzes to the side lol.
Can i dm someone my build and they'll pist it here if they have terrarian
I would switch one to water or snow clouds to keep the duality lol.
Ill dm u
When you have time lol.
like...i didnt make it to scale, its a bit larger than it would be irl
Sounds impractical..
Keke
Which row/column?
That would be pretty cool. It is Skyblock and there's actually a sky Island above this one with snow clouds lol
the french always did their own thing with boats
Sounds like your liquids will stay at the intended temperature you want it to, longer than an hour lol.
How do you know what blocks/paint to use
I appreciate you spelling it...
But I want to let you know, that is neither a route or column lol.
Yeah, but they could have made the handle out of something else so you don't burn your hand off drinking your intended temperature water
It's all gemspark blocks for Gyarados. Some of them are painted but others are not.
Curious for pixel arters, do you put the blocks first before painting, or paint as you go?
Gemspark blocks do weird things as far as painting them goes
Because painting as you go sounds like it'd be really time consuming
