terraria-creations

[lament briar]

Where's the risk?

The love?

The rush of wondering whether you've earned the right to drink from such a glorious creation?

Also, yeah, the weight is ridiculous, but I've never been like, "I just can't do this today. It's not arm day. It's leg day. I hate this cup."

Thankfully.

Let me see if I can find a better picture...

[cinder vortex]

I'll show you guys my rainbow waterfall when I come back from the store it's pretty sweet

[lament briar]

Okay, so... It's French for "Topsail schooner"...

And @merry elm, your best bet is to do something like this...

That is just an opinion. I have no experience with boats, vessels, or sailing lol.

[merry elm]

well, i did research into things, and this is the type of ship irl pirates used, so that is why i was going with it. this will be the pirate's house afterall

im more looking for advice on building and materials

[lament briar]

Also, I wish I could tell you there was a ratio... But there's like this ancient picture that labels +200 parts of connecting sails.

[lament briar]

Could you imagine the first person who was maybe most likely doing laundry, and hung a sheet up on a raft, then had to hang on for dear life as the wind took him on some crazy adventure lol?

[lament briar]

The materials...

I would consider using iron blocks or grates the connecting pieces.

You need something that's going to hold each crosspoint securely.

The rudder needs to be made of some type of metal too...

I know this from cooking, and using wooden utensils...

Something that big, won't steer correctly, because wood warps when it's in water.

Last two things... You can always make an anchor, or use either one in the game...

[merry elm]

oooo good point

[lament briar]

Something to keep the boat in place.

[lament briar]

Thanks. ❤️

And you can use a single chain to "hold" the sail and then ropes connecting to wherever.

I haven't seen what I'm about to describe, used on any terraria build, but you might be able to use echo-painted item frames and then put rope coils around the ship or on the deck to give it a natural look and feel.

[cinder vortex]

That rainbow waterfall I was talking about, crappy picture I know

[lament briar]

It's a start lol.

[cinder vortex]

It is a finished build, I just cannot show the rest of it. It's gay island for my gay friend lol

I'm straight but I built it for him. It's a... Obvious shaped cloud. Rainbow clouds and a rainbow brick house

[merry elm]

Here, using cloud block as a sail stand-in for visualizing

does that topsail look right, or is it off?

[cinder vortex]

Oh wow was this your first boat? Looks great!

If so yours looks way better then my first. It's my first so be gentle. I know it's not the greatest

[merry elm]

how's this, better or worse?

im trying to do an impression of the second pole there

[mossy dagger]

Hello does anyone have a nice Ash wood house/base

or just something like a hell castle

i can't come up with anything

[odd trench]

hey

for placing books

how do i change the look of the book.

[vestal scaffold]

'Press Up/Down to cycle through placement styles'

[odd trench]

ok thanks

[lament briar]

You need slack on the right side of the left sail.

The top sail looks great, because both sides look... Billowy?

[shut bear]

Oh i actually never knew that, i just kept on moving my cursor around till i got the tile i wanted

[merry elm]

im trying to get the rigging right

[merry elm]

like this?

but yeah, i fear my proportions may be way off...

im going with a 2 jib design for the sake of simplicity

like every build i see online with ships makes up for the wonky rope by having the ship be really big

and i guess another thing ive been kinda putting on the backburner is perspective

because with how the topsail is turned, im not sure what way its trying to face

i guess i could maybe use platforms instead of rope?

yeah, thats probably what i need to do, but for now, the jibs

these look good, or does it need more adjustment?

my next step in all this should be getting that shape right

[fiery roost]

I thought it would add some interesting depth to your sails to use actuated blocks, so it resembles a layered composition.

But I don't know if that's what you're going for

[merry elm]

aahhh, i see what ya mean

though i dont have sail blocks yet, so this is just placeholder

[fiery roost]

Oh, okay.

Maybe painting the sail could add the same effect... but I won't be able to test that right now

[uncut granite]

You need sails

[merry elm]

hows that for rigging rope?

trying a combo of platforms and rope

[uncut granite]

Looks good, very creative

[merry elm]

think there should be a bit of separation between the rope and the back sail?

yeah this is looking a lot better for rigging right?

[merry elm]

hows this looking?

no, something still doesnt feel right with the proportions, right?

[prisma meadow]

looks pretty good

[merry elm]

something still doesnt feel right about the sails

[prisma meadow]

i think the ship might feel too small

[merry elm]

fair, but i am basing it on a small kind of ship

[late acorn]

hi

[severe bridge]

anyone have examples of large diagonal struts or chains?

[merry elm]

yeah, maybe this hull shape is better

also fixed the keel and did the rudder

[shell violet]

Feedback if you want it, ignore it if you don’t

This bottom platform could be a full block, also consider darkening and/or thickening the lower half or so of that diagonal stick,

Currently that thicker darker part pulls a bit more attention because of how it stands out compared the rest of the light coloured sections

[surreal furnace]

Anyone know any cool ways to hang stone islands from the ceiling? I feel like using the various stone walls isn't quite good enough.

[queen belfry]

Make suspiciously flimsy pillars of wood

[merry elm]

thanks, my biggest issue is trying to mimic this sort of structure

and here's my attempt at the interior

it feels a bit jank, but what do yall think?

[merry elm]

im open to suggestions/feedback

[charred musk]

Made a house for the first time in months today! It took me about 2 hours since I had to learn and relearn some stuff. Tried some new background walls and really tried to make some more custom interiors.
https://imgur.com/a/qq84Feu

[merry elm]

that area i genuinely am not sure what i should do, im lacking in techniques

[surreal furnace]

Couldn't figure out a hanging set up I liked so built a bridge instead

[sudden spruce]

I would give feedback but I can't build lol so not sure how to improve it

[plucky zealot]

sails arent that diagonal irl, usually there is a curve to it. (talking about the two front sails)

or well they can look diagonal from a certain angle but you would see depth in the sail

[merry elm]

i tried to add a bit of curve, though im not sure what direction to curve it

and also, here's my attempt to put a dock in the background

[severe bridge]

What were you thinking? Like houses clinging to the ceiling? Or houses suspended by something?

[radiant loom]

love the frunaces

[charred musk]

Thank you:)

[radiant loom]

everything looks great IMO besides the boreal wood 😭

genuinely impressed by the sails and stuff

[shut bear]

This looks really cozy, what did you use for the pipes coming from the fireplace?

[charred musk]

For the vertical pipes I used Large Bamboo painted gray, and the sloped pipes are Ashwood painted gray as well.

[bitter ridge]

The sails look a little worn, which I think is very cool. Could something similar be done with the hull? I.e., maybe the introduction of a little noise with some similarly colored/shaped woods down there could give the appearance of some water damage over time.

[shut bear]

I see, overall the build looks really nice and complete, the stairs also look really pleasant

[charred musk]

Thank you! I really tried on this one to stretch my understandings and use blocks I don't normally use

I've never made stairs like that before until now, I really like them

[bitter ridge]

Whoops, didn't see my previous message getting carried away. This is a formal reply that should've been done on the first message.

[shell violet]

Ahhh I see, sorry I don’t got any recommendations atm

[bitter ridge]

Is it the lighting, or is the top layer of the roof painted yellow? It's a very cool effect - I didn't know that obsidian walls(?) and the like could be separated that clearly despite their wavy lines of separation.

[charred musk]

It is all painted gray, not yellow at the top(I'm using a lighting mod)

[bitter ridge]

Interesting. Still, it looks quite nice like that.

[charred musk]

I've never thought of using paint to simulate lighting, might try that eventually. only ever thought of using it for shadows

[merry elm]

how's this for a sort of dock house shape?

tried to get a bit funky with shapes

the windows im not the most sure of though

its been too long since ive done windows, i forget some of the tech

[heady lark]

https://imgur.com/a/DPvJQlK

wah

[severe bridge]

Those stairs go anywhere :P?

[merry elm]

there we are

how'd i do?

[slow dew]

what is the glass here supposed to represent?

[still obsidian]

Probably mirror or smthing

You could use balloon painted gray instead if u want a more rounded look

[merry elm]

yeah its a bathroom mirror

and i wanted that sharp look

[slow dew]

ah, once you switch to hardmode I like to use adamantite beam wall

[merry elm]

adamantite and paladium are such good building blocks

[junior badger]

This build will stay dormant forever fr

[radiant loom]

almost thought it was modded for a second

[hallow surge]

[junior badger]

It's vanilla(very obvious because mobile)

[radiant loom]

reminds me of some popular mod structure

thats why

[severe bridge]

The entrance to my soon to be new home base. As soon as I can figure out the logic to open and close the door lol.

[junior badger]

Calamity mod structures
Draedon's arsenal labs

[slow dew]

snowy monster cave

[surreal furnace]

I wanted stone islands suspended by something (that I would build tiny houses on). Since rock is quite heavy I couldn't quite make it work. I can support it from below, having it just floating also works in the aether, or I could make massive stalactites I mine houses into. Since I couldn't get exactly what I wanted, I just scrapped it for now.

[surreal furnace]

Neat. Looks a little bit like a troll

[sturdy sleet]

how do i send a screenshot

[full glacier]

Simple build

[surreal furnace]

use imgur until you have terrarian role

My bridge ia more or less done

[junior badger]

Cool!

[junior badger]

Bud. Scroll up, you'll see othe builds that are better than mine

[uncut granite]

Hello

Can someone send 2 pics of my builds in here? I need them rated out of 10 by a professional terraria builder

And/or tips

Cute and amazing

[crude pagoda]

So much more room for improvements but its an honest work so you should be proud

Cute
Very decent
Comfy
I like it

[vocal marsh]

the one im most proud of is the right one

i just like boreal wood

im slowly moving my npcs from shoe boxes to nice houses

lol

[junior badger]

Meanwhile my most proud build by far

[vocal marsh]

damn

thats rilly good

[junior badger]

And this thing will honestly take ages to finish

[vocal marsh]

be proud its a lot better then mine lmao

[junior badger]

I still have a lot more pending projects

[vocal marsh]

[junior badger]

I did have some old builds

Before my data got deleted
Hang on lemme find it

[vocal marsh]

i wanna try making a undergorund desert hut for the nurse and gun dealer right now they are floating in air bc i drained the desert a bit when i was clearing out crimsion and hallow lmao

[junior badger]

Found my old builds

Solar Warrior
Celestial Moon
Grand Stardust Dragon

How they look like on the map

[uncut granite]

You are missing one

The vortex one was in progress

Then my phone randomly deleted my game data

The vortex one would've been called "Artificial Catastrophe"

CAN I HIRE YOU

PLEASe

[fiery roost]

Reminds me of the laboratories of Calamity so much, pretty cool!

[tight rune]

https://imgur.com/a/2ksCLBM

How can I improve my build?

is there any way to change the background walls to look better? any decorations or specific rooms i can add? anything i can do to the walls to look more proffesional
any advice at all

[severe bridge]

Loving everyone sharing their lab builds. Not stealing ideas at all nope.

[severe bridge]

I like the concept you have here, what's the final location going to look like?

[tight rune]

final location?

[severe bridge]

I like the idea of two cliffs connecting to the buildings

Or are you planning to have a floating structure?

[tight rune]

Oh you cant see it too well

its for my base Im gonna fix the bottom i just didnt know how to finish it

https://imgur.com/a/ZiuIn7t

i want it to be my main base and im fairly new to building

[severe bridge]

What if you added windows to the right tower using some kind of fence?

I was thinking something like this, but I liked your balcony idea.

https://imgur.com/a/kJIe0ra

[tight rune]

thats actually really good advice

what walls did u use?

[severe bridge]

The top bit is Stone slab, the window is made up of wooden beams, wrought iron fence, and the top bit is granite platforms hammered to look neat. All the window is painted grey as well.

And the whole wall is Shadewood

[tight rune]

thank u

where do u think i should put it?

just at the top?

[severe bridge]

Like the penthouse room? Ummm I dunno try it and see how it vibes with you. I was breaking it down when I saw this and vibed with it.
https://imgur.com/a/50UkOBO

[tight rune]

thank you

[severe bridge]

Mess it up a bit to make it seem more natural

[tight rune]

how did u customize the fence?

my hammer just breaks it

[severe bridge]

that's exactly what happened here

Just removed parts of it

[junior badger]

To be fair
I'm just building the revamped Draedon Labs into vanilla
But I'm not making them 100% accurate to the original since the screenshots I have for reference is dark asf

[modest belfry]

Are we allowed to advertise our streams? I stream myself building, assumed we wouldn't be allowed to advertise

[graceful gale]

prolly not but just dont tell no one, let a man view farm 🤫

[patent karma]

rule #6 allows it, imo

[glossy musk]

Can somebody give me an idea for a build I’m not sure what I should make

[merry elm]

so, does the lucky clover work in the void bag?

[vagrant steeple]

yes

[junior badger]

Make Gigachad

[modest belfry]

Streaming myself building come join me say hi in the chat

Watch mongalongadingdong with me on Twitch! https://www.twitch.tv/mongalongadingdong?sr=a

[fringe zodiac]

Place some mahogany wood walls too. I presume you’ll end up painting the whole thing anyway

[sleek gale]

i wish i could build like that

[dense lodge]

This looks great!

[ember pumice]

What are those small balls in the goblins floor?

[solid rock]

Balls? Oh I believe it's the dungeon bricks painted grey, it's supposed to be skulls

[surreal furnace]

I like em better as balls. Goes with the bowling

[merry elm]

So, how’d the house and boat turn out yall think? I am still open to feedback. I feel like the interiors of she ship and house could still use some work, but I guess where I’m limited is knowledge of techniques and just what’s possible

And I’ve heard that there may be better stuff I can do with the hull of the ship, but I’m not exactly sure what

This is all phm btw

[surreal furnace]

There's nothing that distinguishes the captain's quarters from the rest of the ship, wall wise. Keep or change depening on how much of a diva your captain is

[merry elm]

Well, I tried to go with a more “realistic” feel with the layout of the ship…with some liberties

[verbal timber]

i love this

[solid rock]

I like your line of thought lol

[merry elm]

I know a ship like this would try to accommodate about 6-8 people, but due to the 2d nature I can’t really do much with more cots or the like

But still, I feel it’s lacking detail that could be there

Like most ships I see online made in terraria are of giant scales, complete galleons that are able to fit a lot in due to scale

[surreal furnace]

It's like 300 years since I was a pirate, but I remember those ships being super cramped. You can try adding a second hammock above the one

[uncut granite]

Cute profile

[verbal timber]

thanks ! i just put whatever really for a little bit before i return to the green radioactive dog profile pic

[severe bridge]

I like both! Feel like you can definitely add another room and make it longer without making it look weird. As for the hull, how does adding reef to simulate barnacles look?

[merry elm]

Perhaps…

And as for making it longer, I tried to base it off of a Bermuda sloop, a ship that pirates actually used back in the day to help save on space

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1478537166606045254/1486771238704648192/image0.jpg?ex=69cb545e&is=69ca02de&hm=8aa867b5dd5de45c8312a8b3c4b1aef80c88ce578dc143c347d50b06ac61ec5a&

[severe bridge]

So like a really compact ship, got it. I think you captured that pretty well then. Then I like @surreal furnace 's suggesstion of adding more hammocks. Could move the door a bit to the left and fit 4-6 maybe to make it feel even more cramped.

[merry elm]

Fair point, and looking at this now I probably could remove that bedroom door to help make room

What do you think?

[severe bridge]

Are you going to use this as NPC housing?

[merry elm]

Yes

It’s specifically for the pirate

With 1 room to move the princess in as needed

I measured it so the captains cabin/navigators room is in range of the first floor of the fisher house

But do yall think I made it too short length-wise?

[queen marsh]

bathroom

[merry elm]

Oooo

[uncut granite]

Add a window

Oh wait

I mean mirror

Oh wait

Is that a window or a mirror

[queen marsh]

mirror

it is in the basement though

so... no window

[uncut granite]

I know a mirror

[queen marsh]

the Sparkle Stone Wallpaper is really good for a mirror

[uncut granite]

Uhmhm yea

[queen marsh]

man, I love Painter so much now

I kinda overlooked the wallpapers that guy sells before

[severe bridge]

I once saw a bathroom where someone echo painted half the bathtub and used wallpaper to make it look half covered by a bath curtain.

[merry elm]

But yeah, I feel that the walls of my ship are missing texture just using all boreal wood

[uncut granite]

Imagine going to the bathroom and see three dinosaurs in your way

You forgot to hammer the actuated wood on the stair

[queen marsh]

guess this just shows how much you can do with Echo Coating once again

[severe bridge]

Try adding horizontal beams. Usually helps seperate the walls. Here's a couple of pics I have in my inspiration folder too.

https://imgur.com/KjC5XsO
https://imgur.com/sSeSZ3s

[queen marsh]

I'm probably not going to use it a lot though

I tend to keep things straightforward

[severe bridge]

Also pirate kidnapping the princess ;^)

Just realized why you had that idea.

[merry elm]

mhm

mix of thematics and practicality

im making my npc's with the plans of moving the princess around as needed

[dense jolt]

little discord whiteboard drawing/slight redesign of the lunatic cultist i made

[modest belfry]

Wow they're fucking awesome mate

[merry elm]

hmmm...know what i should use

ash wood wall

but its a matter of how to use it...

and if i wanted vertical pillars for support, i'd love to use boreal beams, but those are in the foreground and would block furnature

mmmhhh dang it i discovered ash wood and now im not sure if boreal was the right play

[severe bridge]

You can actuate the beam and just not place it where the furniture is I think

[merry elm]

that wouldnt work due to how the beam is

trying from semi-scratch, does this look better or worse?

[severe bridge]

Looks good, what if you added another wood wall in small blocks to make it look like it's been repaired or replaced?

[merry elm]

perhaps, but i should get a base look/layout first

i know the vertical beams are probably needed, but im unsure of this sort of layout/design

[severe bridge]

Hmm, the mast beams seem odd to me because they're the same at the support beams but that's just me. It probbly isn't really noticible once decorated. I think this is a fine base design.

https://imgur.com/jBBfqqX

Small remake of the planetoid Calamity lab. Want to make more updates after I get to HM like receiving dock and landing pad. Maybe add a small tree farm on the opposite of the herb module? Anything you ideas?

Might update that top bit to be more solar panels or something.

[merry elm]

how about this? and what do you think of the top deck, should it be rich mahogany?

[shut bear]

Could look nicer, but this overall looks really good

[severe bridge]

I like how it's different than the lower decks. Maybe add another wall to break up the monotone and see how you like it. Dynasty wall maybe?

[merry elm]

and trying boreal wood again for the top with the support rails, it doesnt look right

[severe bridge]

What are those beams when you enter the lower part?

What about those

[merry elm]

which beams

the ones on the border?

and does the top deck with this pattern look better or worse?

[severe bridge]

https://imgur.com/a/H5P95I0 This bit.
And Yep. Makes it seem like the top deck walls are weathered from the sea.

[merry elm]

aahhh that

its to try and be the grate that acts as the hatch for the lower deck

also i realized i forgot to put a staircase or ladder down to there

[severe bridge]

Yeah I like that a ton and think it's perfect. I was thinking of using it as the top support beam in the upper room?

Idk can't imagine it lol

[merry elm]

i would, but its a beam. it'd be in the foreground and take up precious furnature space

[severe bridge]

Ah rip

[merry elm]

tho i wish i could get those beams in a lighter color

like a light beige

because with everything brown it now blends in too much

imma furnish it and see how it comes out

[severe bridge]

Best way to do it lol

[merry elm]

hmm...tho where do yall think the beds should be? near the back, or more in the front?

[severe bridge]

I liked it near the front. Makes it seem more squished.

[merry elm]

might work with echo paint to block some of the platforms?

and should they be offset like that or nah?

[severe bridge]

I like the offset! You could put like a lamp to the left there.

[surreal furnace]

I like this canvas a lot more than the one you had before the big remoddeling

[merry elm]

hmmm...now i need to add a way down to it i realize

like stairs or a ladder

im a bit rusty with stair tecniques, anyone know any that'll work for such a small space?

[surreal furnace]

ladders are easier and more realistic. I'd only go for stairs if I had a particular design in mind.

[merry elm]

fair

well, any ladder techniques for a wooden ladder?

[severe bridge]

platforms and actuate every other one

[surreal furnace]

My go-to is every other row being actuated with beams or fences or something on either side + different background from rest of the room or planked wall.

can be 1,2,3,4,5.... or 2,4,6,8...

[merry elm]

i can see the platform part, but what im struggling with mentally is the supports

like the vertical ones

[surreal furnace]

try every kind of brown painted fence there is or shade or ebony wall

[merry elm]

i was hoping you could stack crafting tables or normal tables on each other

[surreal furnace]

Think it looks really good so far, and I love the size of it. Can you ping me when next milestone is done?

[merry elm]

oh hey i saw those online!

but my issue is more the walls would make it too big

[languid fable]

I'm having trouble thinking for a roof for this build. I thought of using hive walls painted dark blue plus with a blue shingles outline. Here's the reference. What would u guys do for roof?

https://imgur.com/a/Hh6yuDD

[surreal furnace]

If you make the background wall a darker shade, it can look like its leaning on itself

[merry elm]

?

[alpine burrow]

meteor walls painted blue?

[severe bridge]

Are you trying to get a shingle effect?

Try alternating the dynasty ones. If you paint them the same color it produces a nice roof effect.

https://imgur.com/a/NZONebo

[languid fable]

Oh yeah that could be usefull for window a frame

[languid fable]

Thanks I will try this 🙂

[alpine burrow]

yw

[merry elm]

i still cant find that right combo of platforms and wall that gets a good ladder/steep stair look

like, one thats 2-3 tiles wide

[severe bridge]

What platforms are you using?

Lemme try something real quick

[merry elm]

im trying a lot of different platforms, though the one that feels the closest to working is boreal

[merry elm]

im curious what you mean by nicer. Like im open to suggestions!

[shut bear]

Oh i meant the part about using rich mahogany you said, but a general tip for mixing wood is painting them all brown makes them look nicer together

[merry elm]

i have been, and it really is a game changer when starting off builds

brown painted rich mahogany is just really dark

like...the ideal is getting a 1 block slant

and also, i tried using dynasty plats instead of palm for the ropes. how's it look?

[severe bridge]

https://imgur.com/a/ujR27ms

I tried out a cople thing you might like, but yeah it's a toughie

Could just use a rope 😛

Oooo the ropes connecting the sails? Yeah they look great

[merry elm]

ok, how's this

[severe bridge]

https://imgur.com/a/qNKdqcW

[merry elm]

although everything crammed in there does look nice, i feel a level of detail may have been lost a bit

what do you think?

[radiant loom]

what does that even mean

you added detail 😭

[merry elm]

i know, but a lot of it is hidden behind the stuff

[lilac frigate]

PORTUGAL MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

[severe bridge]

I like compact stuff. It's something I always struggeled with. It's only really an issue if it's a huge build with a lot of compactness, but for something like this, it makes it look detailed and natural.

[merry elm]

fair, and this is what i wanted to go for originally

only other part i can say im questioning is this

in an attempt to make this

[lament briar]

Hey Hyper... Promise not to hate me?

[radiant loom]

imo the boreal wood is making the hull look weird

And now we wait for other people to post their Miyazaki creations

[merry elm]

go ahead

but yeah, i like how the final result turned out. Can anyone think of anything else i could add or do?

i still feel there's room for improvement in areas like the top deck and the bow sprit

[fresh lantern]

You could add a cannon or two to the deck

[merry elm]

im in pre hardmode sadly

i will replace and add more stuff when i do pirate invasion tho

its why im using cloud wall rather than sail block

and why no spooky wood or the like

but yeah, the bow sprit...i just flat out dont have enough experience yet with how all of terraria's blocks interact with each other to make something else like that

[lament briar]

The ship's wheel needs to be on top of the captain's cabin...

When you're navigating the ship, you have to see 360° in every direction...

It will be a pain, but I recommend moving the bottom part of the sail up, just a few blocks, and adjusting the sail...

Or you could just move the wheel upwards and change the area it's at.

[near mango]

basic cave

[merry elm]

thats not how bermuda sloops were tho from my refferences

typically the one navigating and the one steering are not the same person

[surreal furnace]

yeah your set up is correct, though the area above the captain's quarters is flat to walk on with a boarder around. Don't know how you'd make that in 2D.

[surreal furnace]

Very neat 3d layer effect. Is that skyblue ebonwood wall as window?

[full glacier]

There's no ebonwood

[near mango]

basic deeper down cave

[merry elm]

well, stuff from my refs had it sonewhat dome shaped

tho depends on the sloop

they had a LOT of variety

i was trying to model more like this

[surreal furnace]

When I was a pirate, we had flat surface with a capstan, so that will always be the iconic look in my mind. Maybe I'll try building something like that.

[fiery roost]

...when you were a pirate?

[shrewd harness]

somewhat mediocre art of a friend fighting queen slime

she looks like that because Yes

[radiant loom]

LOL GOOD QUESTION

[wooden sigil]

When you replace the clouds with sail block, maybe paint part of the big sail gray to give it more depth

[wooden sigil]

Reminds me of the Pokémon Frillish

[radiant loom]

i thought they were in prehm

[wooden sigil]

They are

But they said they’re replacing the clouds with sails when they enter hardmode

[radiant loom]

oh

for some reason i read that as "you should replace.." instead of when

mb

[shut bear]

castle thing work progressing

desperately need to know how to light up the inside of the tower roof without it looking weird because that black spot in the middle is driving me crazy

[wooden sigil]

No worries

[wooden sigil]

Try illuminant coating

[dusk night]

could also echo coat a torch

[shut bear]

i opted for this, i think it looks cool even if it doesnt exactly follow what im using as a reference

[lament briar]

... Where did you get this image from?

[turbid wave]

those stairs are so mesmerizing 🤤

[lament briar]

I did a search of the ship type, and I found the picture... But this model cannot be accurate.

I say that because the wheel is specifically facing towards the rear of the boat...

I don't know of any boats that have this layout.

I would also argue that you would be typically tall enough to see in any given direction.

[merry elm]

also based it on stuff like this

and the ship is the HMS Mediator

[barren bison]

That’s so cool with the stairs in front. Any pointers on what you did?

I think expand it a bit and put a throne in the middle to look even better

[uncut granite]

The stairs look satisfying to watch

[sinful girder]

https://imgur.com/a/CAVOXyb

I found a mod that lets you keep a tiny guide as a minion so i drew this

[barren bison]

bigong bigo ah. Shot puno

[uncut granite]

Night rides nalang

HAHAH

[barren bison]

Hahaha lala

[graceful gale]

wip on my evil ass desert castle

only posting the wip cause theres a sandstorm and i have nothing else to do while time passes

[uncut granite]

I haven't seen phrog in a while

[hardy apex]

sick

[shut bear]

The shape looks really cool

The big thing in the middle both looks like a sword and an eye at the same time which i find interesting

[shut bear]

Thanks! For the stairs I made it always have 5 on each row and made it move in an arc, like how you would make a circle, so you could make a circle and use that as guidelines

I also used minecart tracks for the railing and basically placed them 2 blocks above the inside stair, then filled the gap between them with grates

I hope I explained it well enough because I usually cant explain things at all

[hexed geyser]

Does anyone have storage room designs?

[graceful gale]

it was the third more sinister option

[shut bear]

upside down very long plus sign for sure

totally

thats so for sure the third option

[graceful gale]

my true gif

was deleted smh

[graceful gale]

im too tired to finish this in 1 night, im going to bed

[barren bison]

thank you! it's pretty clear!

[surreal furnace]

how did you make the hammock? Gonna attempt making my own ship.

[severe bridge]

https://terraria-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Palm_Wood_Bed

[surreal furnace]

Don't think that's right, but probably cactus

[severe bridge]

No, you're right. I think it is cactus lol

[surreal furnace]

Alright, so a rough first outline of the ship is done (I stole some parts from Hypermun). The back end of the ship will be added after I make a gaff sail so I know the size I want.

Before that I need to decide if I want to have the sails behind the mast so I can add ropes and whatever, or if I flip the yards so the sails are in front. What do you all think?

[sleek gale]

i like the stairs alot

[uncut granite]

It looks good

[merry elm]

I don’t mind, and I like what ya did with the bowsprit

I did wood beams in front of living wood wall for depth

[barren bison]

Black Pearl

When you’re done with the whole thing, maybe make a giant bottle that covers it. It’ll look cool

[merry elm]

Maybe I should use a different wood or color for my bowsprit connector

To make it more clear what it is

Tho all the ones I see are either just rope or wood

And I have yet to see anyone else actually pay attention to that detail online when building ships

But yeah, I think I’ve done all I can for the beach pylon for now. Next up on the “safe pre-hardmode biomes” to build villages for is the jungle

My jungle is so far out that it should be safe from the hardmode V and it’s a large world, so I should be good

I have a location picked out, but im struggling with solid concepts for each house

Could I ask for some feedback/bounce some ideas with yall?

[surreal furnace]

My suggestion is to make something that looks sick and is totally unique

[surreal furnace]

Might try at the end, but I suspect I won't work on this for a while

[merry elm]

Oh, another thing I need to make for my beach build: something for the pylon itself

I completely forgot

But I’m limited by space and distance from the town

Ideally I’d wanna make something that fits with the base of the pylon itself, but…hmmm

Like, this is how much space I had in the beginning for this beach:

Main reason I chose this beach was because the dungeon is RIGHT there on the left, so it’s both ocean and dungeon pylon

Felt most practical

And this is what’s on a lot of that space now

So my buildable space is reduced down to…well, this

I guess I’m just thinking out loud and hoping to bounce ideas. I had some thoughts and ideas but idk if they’d work given the scale I have to work with

Like…my first ideas were a lil tiki hut or beach shade hut, but I realized that wouldn’t really work with the base of the pylon given its sand and coral

[slow dew]

does the pylon have to be inside the hut?

[merry elm]

Not really, I just wanna give it something

Like another idea I had was a sandcastle

Though now looking for inspiration/what other people have done…I feel I may need to also work on the house a bit more too

[vague viper]

Hello all!

Coming from the Portal 2 puzzle community, I have published a modeling of Fumbly Bumbly's co-op puzzle Scourge in Terraria. All you need is a journey character and a partner to solve with!

The puzzle involves floor buttons, a couple fizzlers (emancipation grills), and of course, two Portal Guns. Puzzle difficulty may depend on previous experience with Portal 2, but the map includes a basic tutorial room to remind players of how a few mechanics work.

Attached is a link to the workshop page: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3697167219

Ah, I thought that wouldn't embed due to not having the Terrarian role. Apologies for the redundant Imgur images.

[surreal furnace]

Looks sick

Snow pylon more or less done

[signal tree]

Guys how do i learn to build

This game’s building is confusing

[slow dew]

there's lots of tutorials by popular channels, mainly khaios or archane0

[surreal furnace]

For specific tips, there's great youtube sources, but for messing around yourself it's very helpful to have a good crafting area. Here is mine. I have a chest for wood, stone, blocks, ore, gems, plants, materials, and other that are used for crafting, and have every main crafting station + a slot for special crafting. This way you can see a lot of the items you have available.

Just try out things and you'll get the hang of it quickly

At least helps me, though I'm just an amateur

[prisma meadow]

paints are important

[radiant loom]

YAYYYY A NEW TERRARIA MAP

YESSS

[exotic harness]

I kinda fuck with the warm tones of the unpainted

Do you do layouts first before painting?

[prisma meadow]

most of the times yes

since i know how it gonna turnout with paints

[dense pivot]

^

you can make most blocks fit your needs if you know how to use paint effectively

[mint imp]

Death

[hybrid mica]

so im pre-boss currently, trying to figure out how to improve this. This was a house i built to start real quick, im trying to build on it's shape and make it look better. Trying to think of something i can do with brick, stone, living wood, etc. But i can't think of what to add to it.

Also what are these background walls I see people using in these nature builds?

[slow dew]

I'd hold off until you get access to more block types or better yet, paint, before you start rebuilding it

[slow dew]

these are craggly stone walls, if you're in a graveyard biome you can make a lot of natural walls

[surreal furnace]

You can use fence to create a terrace above Luigi and make some light furniture

Craggly stone wall is goated. Looks great in natural builds of all kinds, but also as the bottom layer wall in houses

I often combine it with planked wall as a transition layer into some kind of wood

[hybrid mica]

yea, i've seen the craggly stone stuff so much but i've legit never touched the stuff, didn't even know what it was called

and this is hardcore master mode, so i guess i shouldn't be worried about vanity lol. bad habit of mine even in past runs lmao.

i'll use the fence idea and probably leave it at that

[near mango]

worn stone walls are also present with craggy stone walls there

[hybrid mica]

oh shit, didn't know there was that many variety. Wish i had looked into those for some of my past builds lmao. Nice thanks

[near mango]

in general there is dozens of other fantastic walls here https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Ecto_Mist

variety of biomes

[hybrid mica]

i will copy this link and save it to look into later, very nice

#terrarian-role-info

[merry elm]

Hmmm…I was thinking of iterating on my beach house more, taking bits from other beach houses I’ve seen because the one I have rn feels a bit…bland

Or maybe some parts feel too flat

Mostly the roof and floors I guess feel off

Should I make my floors 2 thick?

[hoary valve]

I think the contrast between 1 thick floors and 2 thick walls is nice

[slow dew]

nah, you can maybe change the material, but too thick would be a bit much imo

[hoary valve]

and the floors being thinner accentuates the roof a bit more

[hoary valve]

ooooh yeah, what material change did you have in mind?

[merry elm]

I was also thinking, should I make the roof thicker?

A lot of designs like what I ended up with have it 2 thick for more shape with the shingles

[hoary valve]

nah the roof looks amazing, I feel like the flare its got is good

plus making the roof thicker would be clunky unless you made everything thicker, and scaled its size up overall

[merry elm]

Because I see stuff like this

[hoary valve]

oooooh

[merry elm]

And scale I don’t have room for

[slow dew]

maybe can try feywood

[merry elm]

Thing is, I came up with my roof design independently of these

I was just looking for further inspiration and found em

[hoary valve]

I can see that, it looks good

[hoary valve]

yeah that is quite unfortunate

[dense pivot]

okey wow ive never looked at this specific page

there's so many good walls here

I've been missing out jungle vine wall my entire life

[merry elm]

Material of what

The floors, walls…?

[hoary valve]

think they meant the floors

[merry elm]

Thing is, the downside of 1 thick floors is the floor of one floor is the roof of the next

And do yall think I may have made the rooms too short?

And I realize I should use bamboo stuff more

And the side roof on the left of my house structurally doesn’t make much sense

[slow dew]

that's why I am kinda trying to think of blocks that are sorta split, you could make the bottom side the ceiling and the top the floor

like feywood (although haven't tested much with it)

[merry elm]

I think it may be best to tear it down from the 2nd floor up and redo it with better techniques

[hoary valve]

I Look forward to seeing what you do if you go through with this

[merry elm]

Because also looking at the house, the scale of the patio may be too big

Or rather, too tall

Plus scaling that part down gives me more space elsewhere

[surreal furnace]

Everything that's there looks really good to me. Just lacks detailing that you see master builders do.
I suck at it, so can't help, but I think all the rooms in first, second, and third floor being the same height and rough shape makes it harder.

[uncut scaffold]

[acoustic arch]

GUYS WILL YOU SEND SOME PICTURE OF UR BUILDS IN TERRARIA

[patent karma]

they already hav, you can search for them with in:#terraria-creations has:image

[fiery roost]

I don't think I will, mate.

Oh, sorry, I thought you gave me an order

[acoustic arch]

OPPS sorry mate, i did not meant no orders but only if you insist.

[merry elm]

here, hows this look for a base sort of layout pattern?

or are the doorframes too big/shout be outie doors?

like, should the doors be flush with the outer wall like how they used to be, or with the inner wall like it is now?

i also got this

or...

i genuinely cant decide

[acoustic arch]

both are good

[acoustic arch]

both are great

[acoustic arch]

can i join

[merry elm]

no

[merry elm]

thats not what i asked

i appreciate the compliment

but im trying to decide between stuff

[acoustic arch]

oh sorry i tought it was the layout of the design

[merry elm]

sorry if i come off a bit harsh, im starting to get a bit tired

maybe i need a break

[clear crescent]

If your tired you should prolly sleep

[acoustic arch]

You could

take a break for a moment

[shut bear]

Im assuming the only difference are the walls next to the doors, but I'd say the second one looks alot nicer with the theme of the build

[merry elm]

out of all the things?

[shut bear]

Also yeah as others said take a break when you feel overwhelmed, trying to do things while tired is only just gonna make you feel worse

[merry elm]

ok, so out of the old house and the 3 pics i posted, which door frame yall like best?

[merry elm]

because...well, doorframes are hard

[acoustic arch]

oh hi

[graceful gale]

"Castle of the Crimson King"
part of my crimson desert, i still have to build up the rest of the biome

[acoustic arch]

oh my g-god will you send me the world im so facinated

[graceful gale]

idk why im just discovering how good terrarias camera mode is

[acoustic arch]

oh how good are you

[merry elm]

so...i was taking a break snd doing some teraforming for our hellbridge...and accidentally made this

[pine skiff]

We really need a volcano biome in Terraria, that can be really good

[acoustic arch]

i neeed help

[junior badger]

Maybe in Terraria 2

[pine skiff]

Or an other update

[merry elm]

its called the underworld

[pine skiff]

A Volcano biome at the surface

[merry elm]

but yeah, between this and my other 3 door frames, which yall think is best?

[pine skiff]

And technically, that's the Hell, not a Volcano or what else

[merry elm]

whats the difference? full of lava, ash, and lasva based creatures

it'd just be hell...on the surface

[pine skiff]

I want a Volcano biome like this build

So not really a Hell biome at the surface

[merry elm]

it'd more be a structure like pyramids on the swamp

[surreal furnace]

Volcanos are pretty neat. Here are two of my attempts.

[pine skiff]

More vanilla friendly, I love it too

[merry elm]

but yeah, but yeah, i still cant decide on doorframes

[pine skiff]

yeah why not

[slow dew]

I'd say this one is a bit of an improvement over the original design

i really don't like the other ones

[merry elm]

fair

and the lip over the door?

[slow dew]

the gap there is just too ugly

that's what I mean yeah

[merry elm]

are the stairs on top of the foor a good touch?

[slow dew]

yes actually

although if you had a different platform it might add some better detail

[merry elm]

i tried a lot of platforms

thats the one who's color best matched the painted dynasty

and went with the natural lip texture of the dynasty wood end

but i could try others

[slow dew]

palm wouldn't work?

[merry elm]

too light

[slow dew]

what about when actuated? still too light?

[merry elm]

this is boreal

huh, didnt think about actuating

[timid tiger]

paint the cacti gray or orange

also trim them to size, 2-3 blocks high

volcanic cacti do exist

*in Galapagos that is

[merry elm]

that place is full of weird shit

[timid tiger]

island biota tend to hasten evolution due to more selective pressures

[merry elm]

mmmhm

[surreal furnace]

most of em have grown after building, same with the gaps of light in the rock, which is pretty annoying how keeps happening. But yeah I need to do some maintenance at some point

[merry elm]

yeah, place some echo platforms

or actuated blocks

[merry elm]

but yeah, should the right side also have that support rod, or should it only be the left side?

[slow dew]

echo coated cobweb 🔥

the indestructible kind

[surreal furnace]

This is my canvas for the desert pylon. Anyone got any ideas?

[slow dew]

I found this very cool oasis reference image I was gonna use, but it would be dope to see other people's takes on it

[junior badger]

The draedon underground tundra lab is near completion

[acoustic arch]

is this like a server so i can join? i love the design btw.

[merry elm]

#looking-to-play

[fringe zodiac]

I’ve been trying to plan out a jungle base and I was looking for advice on making one. I’m using natural terrain for this and plan to add new walls

I plan to use different blocks for the actual base. I’m using the red team blocks as an outline

[merry elm]

Huh, not a bad idea. I’d look for inspiration irl first, like look at how tribal or traditional stilt huts are made

[merry elm]

But yeah, my next struggle in this build is side wall windows

I have been experimenting but have yet to find a good selection of blocks that makes a good window frame for 2 wide walls

Everything wants to merge with the glass block

Like last time I did this, but idk if this will work again for the new build

[uncut granite]

Bro this build is so realistic

Is that mud painted brown

[uncut granite]

Put a glass wall on the glass

[merry elm]

Won’t that spill outside the tile tho?

[uncut granite]

Lemme show you why

[merry elm]

Aahh, gives it a bit of angled depth?

[uncut granite]

Yiz

[shut bear]

That trick is actually pretty good for giving build depth, doesnt just have to be on windows either

[merry elm]

Ah, I’ve used it a few times

But I guess my struggle is what blocks to put around the window

[uncut granite]

Wdym

[merry elm]

Like, the block to put over and under the glass block in the wall

[uncut granite]

Uhm

Wait

I use

For the

Top I

Use dynasty

Platforms hammered

Once and

Shadewood wall

Painted brown

For he

Bottom

Meh whatever, I just use shadewood wall

[merry elm]

?

Hm…

What are some blocks that have good interactions with glass blocks

Oh, one big thing! Should I have my windows more towards the outside or the inside of the 2 wide wall?

I’ll just test stuff out

[slow dew]

outside

[merry elm]

Then what do I do with the glass wall more inwards?

[slow dew]

what does it look like currently?

[merry elm]

Currently no windows at all

Here-

[south rivet]

como consigues esa pared blanca

[slow dew]

https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Dynasty_Walls

[south rivet]

thanks

[slow dew]

hm double thick walls make it kinda tricky, if what you were discussing earlier is what you're trying to do here

[merry elm]

Double thick walls I tend to go with for more structure and to support things like double wide floors

[slow dew]

i mean, you can try this again, I don't hate this

[merry elm]

Hmm… maybe I can try mixing the two…

Though I should probably lay down the floors first

I did 4 floors last time, so that should be enough for a fully furnished house

I’m kinda forced to build tall rather than wide due to the beach’s size

Btw, whatcha think of the patio? I’m debating if that outermost support should be moved over to the left one or not

[slow dew]

nah, I think it's at a perfect length with the net

you could maybe add an extension with a platform?

[wise bane]

tree

[junior badger]

The apple seems good

[wise bane]

what apple

?????????

[junior badger]

Sorry
The tree looked like Nameless deity's tree
Especially since the ground is flat like his garden

[wise bane]

what garden

what deity

😭

[vagrant steeple]

final boss in wotg

[wise bane]

whats wotg

[slow dew]

wizards of the ghost

[radiant loom]

smhh why are so many builders using prospector instead of some cool vanity or smt 😭

[wise bane]

i lowk need to use adamantite mask

also prospector is vanity here

[radiant loom]

enginnering helmet > prospector any day bro

[lethal pond]

A mod named Wrath of the Gods. From my understanding it's an Unofficial (?) Calamity extension pack that adds plenty of content.

I've only seen it on Y.T. & have never played it myself, so I may be wrong.

[wise bane]

oh alr

[slow dew]

couldn't be me 🔥

although I do use prospector armor since I literally can't think of anything else better to use in journey, in master I'd prolly use angler

[radiant loom]

yeah i meant like, prospector is the best armor to use for that. but so many builders just use it as vanity too 😔

[wise bane]

nah mining armor with ub helm is the best

[radiant loom]

bruh

just use the pumpkin scented candle & trippy lighting for infinite vision

[slow dew]

ub unfortunately has an ugly glow to it

[wise bane]

lost me at trippy lighting

[slow dew]

my ass just be spamming potions

[wise bane]

genuinely disgusting

[radiant loom]

lol what

[wise bane]

i guess

[radiant loom]

trippy lighting lets you see like 5 tiles further

[wise bane]

yeah bud, trippy is TRASH!!!!

[wise bane]

who cares

its mad ugly

[radiant loom]

me...

[wise bane]

disgusting

trippy lighting makes all builds like 10× worse

[radiant loom]

i take ss and play in color

i build in trippy for visibility

[near mango]

building in trippy is a choice

given how the lighting is different from colour

namely being unable to have stuff like this

[slow dew]

yeah I'd rather just build in color

especially with ifinite potions, you can just spam them and toggle off certain ones you don't want at that moment, I found that to be the most useful

at least for me

also frees up accessory slots so you can really run whatever you want

[wise bane]

not being able to see further really isnt an issue in journey

[slow dew]

in my case I run 2 different loadouts, except one doesn't have paint spray for toggle convenience, the 3rd is just the same but only using night vision helm, in case I don't want any glow on my character

[radiant loom]

i make adventure maps, lots of dark dungeons with no gaps or lighting. especially because of that trippy helps me see rooms from further away that arent visible without it. Could just use the fullscreen translucent map overlay but ah well

[slow dew]

in that case I just like to use fairy glowsticks

[merry elm]

here's how things are going thusfar

does the angle the roof is at look right?

[slow dew]

i prefer the old roof really

this one looks a bit warped

[merry elm]

warped how?

because this roof does feel off to me too, i just cant put my finger on it

[uncut granite]

Omg I thought you left

[severe bridge]

https://imgur.com/a/cQ3gKtF
Black or Grey? Or something else. Not too attached to this honestly.

Supposed to be like an underground shaft entrance.

[slow dew]

the top right bit especially sticks out to me

idk if it's just because it's thicker but with how it looks, it just feels like it's warped

[slow dew]

I'd say black but maybe add something more to it?

[severe bridge]

Maybe mix in some kind of stone wall?

[hushed badge]

Wait since when is Toasty staff here

how did I realize that just now

[near mango]

i got event lead uhhh on the 24th

means i am no longer purple & hoisted higher up unfortunately. does mean i can shitpost #server-announcements

[merry elm]

Hey is this good, or is the perspective off?

[prisma meadow]

i think shape is great

[merry elm]

ok, managed to make this window

issue is, i feel it conflicts with the perspective...though then again i havent really been thinking about perspective much

[uncut granite]

Are those actuated glass

[merry elm]

No, just glass wall

[uncut granite]

On the dresser??

[merry elm]

Oohhh that

Yeah that’s actuated glass

[uncut granite]

Is that suppose to represent a mirror

I suppose

[merry elm]

Yup

Also…been thinking about the layout of the house some more

Maybe I should move around what room is what

Also…yall think 6 tall rooms are too tall?

[uncut granite]

You can try ballons

For a mirror

[south sparrow]

my good friend @tight nebula has created a terraria ttrpg system. here are some screenshots.

[tight nebula]

uh oh

[merry elm]

I’ll give it a shot

But for now, exterior

I feel like 6 tall rooms was too big, what do yall think?

[signal dawn]

cute vanity room, gonna expand and fill it out with all vanitys

[merry elm]

And another thing…2 block tall windows or 3 block tall?

[signal dawn]

full build so far

[merry elm]

But yeah, I genuinely can’t decide between 5 block tall rooms and 6 block tall

[merry elm]

Like…it feels like an unspoken rule that your widows must be 3 tall, I never see 2 tall windows

[uncut granite]

That's because it's weird to look at

[merry elm]

You think the rooms in the house look too big?

[merry elm]

Wait, 2 tall windows work here-

I’d need to see how my window design looks being 2 tall

I genuinely don’t know, I don’t wanna have to tear this thing down again

What do yall think?

[summer lark]

https://imgur.com/a/gGDhW5S

Yo I need some feedback on Truffles House

[merry elm]

maybe try some actuated blocks on the edge of the stem to give it more structure

[summer lark]

ive honestly never worked with those

[summer lark]

wow

thats impressive

[tropic heath]

Wow, awesome 🔥🔥

Yo that’s beautiful

[lament briar]

Are you doing a different theme for each armor?

[lament briar]

Hey Hypermun... How are you?

[barren bison]

Usu tulog pre

Anyone here has a functional fish farm design? Like you can fish for every biome in one building? Idk if it’s possible, just curious

I want to finish all Angler quest for achievements but moving around is annoying lol

[barren bison]

No way! So it is possible! Thank you homie

[shell violet]

Some limitations but it gets you a majority of things, space isn’t there and that

[uncut granite]

Wag na matulog

[barren bison]

Aswang ka siguro o tanod, parehas busy ronda madaling araw

[uncut granite]

None of the options, but di lang ako maka tulog kapag gabi na

Alright, mb

[wise bane]

i was slimed

[uncut granite]

Really

[alpine burrow]

Wait, "slimed"? Like... Terraria???

[dense pivot]

This is awesome

[alpine burrow]

Hell yeah it is got damn

[summer lark]

i need some help

https://imgur.com/a/c0LNNcm

that looks ass

[vital geyser]

Bro some asses look good tho

[signal dawn]

Was considering that, but I’ll stick to my theme

This was the reference

[radiant loom]

thats sick

[signal dawn]

I’ll expand it more today, add some natural deco so it doesn’t look perfect

[alpine burrow]

Wait, you could always place statues directionally this whole time???

[lament briar]

The throne room?

It's nice, but it makes you wonder what the rest of the castle looks like.

[signal dawn]

true, it was just a reference from google

[signal dawn]

yeah, depends which directino you face

[merry elm]

Im doing ok, thanks. Just struggling a bit on deciding things

[merry elm]

But yeah, could I get some outside opinions on this?

If the height is too tall and if the perspective is off

[slow dew]

i think it looks good

also the most overthinking I've ever seen gone into a terraria build

[merry elm]

Well thing is, I’m thinking about this like an artist

While Minecraft and other 3d or top down games I can just think like an architect

[slow dew]

well if I were to comment on it honestly then, the patio now is just too small for the rest of the house

if that is a patio situation type on the left there

[merry elm]

It is, and yeah. I’m kinda forced to build tall due to the lack of horizontal space on my right beach

This was the whole beach starting out, and that’s the dungeon on the left

It’s also why it’s so important the pylon be here for easy dungeon access

[slow dew]

i mean you might be able to bring the floor out a bit more if you wanna move the chests

[merry elm]

Those chests are just building materials

And I also need enough room to put a small build for the pylon itself

And that green space is filled up by the staircase I put up to the other side of the dungeon

So…rn I’m left with

And I’m hesitant to have the house encroach any further or else I’ll have no space for a pylon build or any natural decor

Ya know?

Maybe I’m getting caught up thinking ahead, but I just don’t wanna have to tear down stuff

And I’m not trying to argue, the feedback is important

I guess I just think best bouncing ideas and weighing the pros and cons of stuff with others

[merry elm]

Like…one of the big things here is if the rooms should be 5 blocks tall or 6 tall like they are now

[surreal furnace]

Try and furniture it and see if you end up with empty space you don't like

[merry elm]

Well, I tried it with the bathroom and noticed compared to the 5 tall build I had before it looked a lot more empty vertically

[surreal furnace]

Should I keep this shape or start over?

[merry elm]

I feel like the shape of the arch is good, it’s more the walls that need tweaking

[surreal furnace]

yeah this is the like the 5 minute outline for inspiration

[surreal furnace]

you can have the bathroom at 5 and the other 6

[merry elm]

There’s also the thought of maybe I should rearrange the room layout so it feels more…natural. Like I wanna give my npc’s all livable houses

[merry elm]

Huh…never considered multiple different room heights. Wouldn’t that look awkward in a real house?

… maybe I should do this one floor at a time

[surreal furnace]

Depends on the house, I suppose. Cellars and attics are often different heights, cabins have all sorts of solutions, shanties, any building with event spaces... This being a beach house and it's that bathroom being shorter makes it work conseptually to me, but nothing beats looking at it

[merry elm]

Fair

But yeah, perhaps I should tear this down and look at it one floor at a time

I’ll keep pics of the techniques to reuse

A lot of this is trial and error learning

[slow dew]

that's the case for my actual house

[surreal furnace]

it's not fun otherwise

[slow dew]

it doesn't look too bad genuinely

[merry elm]

Like first I should see if I can fit a living room and kitchen on the first floor

[slow dew]

the rooms serve different purposes so the heights make sense

[merry elm]

Fair

And main reason I shrunk the patio in the first place was because of too much negative space, wasn’t sure what to put there

[surreal furnace]

Seen a lot of solutions where living spaces get much air, while storage and second toilet are more cramped

I think it would be cool to put my forest pylon in the green spot here. Anyone have ideas for builds or themes?

[junior badger]

This build being underground is stupid
Nearly done anyway
...
Underground Jungle is next...

[fiery roost]

It could be worse: you could have chosed to make this in open air and then had to terraform a natural ice biome around it.

One thing that you could do is previously sketch the size and placement of things in the building BEFORE you get to a cavern and work it out

[junior badger]

It's
A calamity mod structure

[slow dew]

well while I don't feel like sending a picture of my actual patio, there is a lot of hanging plants, lattices, and a couple ceiling fans in the top space

[fiery roost]

I'm aware, you told me a few days ago, I even praised you for it! It looks great though!

[junior badger]

I frequently check the screenshot I have of it

Counting some of the blocks
Estimating the walls
Having a splitting headache

[merry elm]

Fair, but vertical negative space is a bit hard to fill in terraria

Horizontal is much easier

But horizontal is what I’m lacking…doesn’t help that I wanna give each house the basic necessities:
kitchen
eating area/living room
Bathroom
Bedroom
Some form of expression of work/what the npc does

So for angler, it’d be fish bowls and crates n stuff

Npc’s like pirate are an exception due to the well…circumstances of their living

[fiery roost]

Although what I draw in Terraria are not houses and buildings, I get to plan what I do on grid paper. Makes life much easier, not gonna lie.

I know this doesn't apply to everyone - and your buildings are proof of it since they are huge - but you could like measure the parts outside and then know exactly how much you have to dig

[junior badger]

Honestly for me
I just build a cage house in hell them place him there

[fiery roost]

I didn't save the image of the ideal house for the angler

Let me find it, BRB

[junior badger]

I honestly just look at my references
Count the tiles and such
Then continue on with my day

Most of the time I just let my mind visualize what I want
Then I'll build a scratch version of it

Then further improve the build to mt liking

[merry elm]

But yeah, time to tear this down again

I’ll try doing each floor by floor

[junior badger]

It's already good though
