terraria-creations

[merry elm]

Yeah, but it looks off. Too much negative vertical space for the upper floors and the patio looks way off proportionally

And I may be able to lower it a floor by condensing the furniture and moving the stairs

I’ll just tear it down to the first floor and work back upwards

Like I never considered if there’s enough space for a kitchen here

[uncut granite]

Has anyone seen sourshpookie

I haven't seen her in a while posting her builds

[surreal furnace]

Super quick spooky tower build. Gonna add cellar at some point. Anyone have suggestion for what material to swap my roof with?

[merry elm]

Ooooo

[dense pivot]

this was supposed to just be a starter house but its taken me a lot longer than I thought it would :p

[prisma meadow]

love the colours of the roof

[merry elm]

same!

[merry elm]

thats how it always goes

anywho, what kind of oven would fit with a beach house...

i could do outdoor kitchen or a wood stove, but what kind...

[dense pivot]

mayhaps a grill?

not exactly a kitcehn actually

[merry elm]

i mean, there's more traditional ovens

like a painted glass kiln

[dense pivot]

oh I forgot that one exists :p

[merry elm]

hmmm...i think ill go for a more rustic style oven like these, but i need to figure out how to make one...

[runic cargo]

dresser painted black for the stove. painted mahogany fence for the pipe

[dense pivot]

thanmks! I spent a bit too much time up there

[merry elm]

i mean, there's lots of dressers

i was thinking maybe the meteorite one?

though i also found this one online, but im trying to identify the blocks

[dense pivot]

pixels are bad but that might be a table placed on a platform

cant really tell

[shut bear]

but what about the fire part of it, cant tell what wall that is

[dense pivot]

yea its really hard to tell what it is

in any case you could probably just use any wall with a moving texture as the back wall and move on

[runic cargo]

I use either the meteorite or the granite dresser for my stoves

[dense pivot]

granite is a great furniture set

[runic cargo]

usually have to paint it, but yeah I like it a lot

[manic topaz]

where would i put like, ideas i have that i want to share but not anything i've made (specifically something i saw in a dream)

[shut bear]

i mean, i think here is a good enough place?

[manic topaz]

hmm

okay

oh wait, i cant post images yet anyway so ill wait for that

[merry elm]

is this too much? im stuck on what background wall to use for the backplate

stuff like what this has

i need something with low wall priority i guess

[dense pivot]

Top does look a bit bulky imo
Also backplate?

[shut bear]

you could use imgur, that's what most people use

[merry elm]

like that back portion where a shelf is

[frosty nova]

anyone know any good gothic wallpaper? Im struggling to find one on the wiki

im messing with the paints as well. still in prehardmode as well

[merry elm]

i hate how few things you can put on a crafting table top

like i tried to put a cauldron on top of one and it just...doesnt work

im trying to make a 2 wide oven i can put it on top of

i wont have access to living fire til hardmode, so im stripped for options

[merry elm]

here we go, i itterated on a design i found online

how's it look?

or maybe that platform going upwards is better

[dense pivot]

That looks pretty cool

[merry elm]

here's the source material for the original inspiration, credit to this guy!

https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/caribougooses-terraria-builds.116381/

[merry elm]

but yeah, which platform looks better?

[dense pivot]

2nd looks more like a shelf id place something on

[merry elm]

yeah, first looks more like a shelf, but 2nd gives that more 3d feel

idk why, maybe ive been staring at it too long

[dense pivot]

I also kinda just imagine first to be a shelf that goes / and ive never seen a shelf like that

Not in rral life

[merry elm]

fair, ill go with that

[merry elm]

here's another oven design i came up with

does it look like an old fashioned wood oven?

and next is a fridge/ice box

which...i have no clue how im gonna do

[summer lark]

that looks decent

[merry elm]

this is what i got for my kitchen, tried to make it look a bit 3d

issue is, idk what to put next

[uncut granite]

Green dungeon dresser painted brown

[fiery roost]

That looks amazing, by the way

[uncut granite]

I lile this

[merry elm]

for what

[uncut granite]

What

Oh it's for an oven

I thought just for decorations

[merry elm]

yeah

i next need a cabinet or ice box

[runic cargo]

Gothic would work for that if painted white

gothic dresser

[merry elm]

for an ice box?

[runic cargo]

well, you'd have to elevate it somehow

paint it white, as I said. could work

[merry elm]

most ice boxes i see are brown

[runic cargo]

well, I was thinking old time fridge.

but yeah, brown works

[merry elm]

ahh, like 70's?

[runic cargo]

I was thinking 30s enamel

[merry elm]

or could go with a cheap metal fridge

[runic cargo]

like the first motorized fridges available

[merry elm]

like these?

i worry that a dresser may be too wide

[runic cargo]

we need fridges

[merry elm]

mhm

agreed

that or cabinets

the grand kind

wait, i think i found a block

[runic cargo]

https://imgur.com/a/6Q9ebo8 my solution to the fridge problem: copper plating wall painted white with platforms for handles.

[merry elm]

OOOO

[runic cargo]

i don't know why my steampunker spawned there.

[merry elm]

I tried the only grand cabnet i could find

[summer lark]

guys is there a mobile version for the defender forge?

like smth that i can open on the go?

or can i buff from potions in there?

[merry elm]

get a void bag and a money troph or chester

and this is creations, not help

#terraria-help

[summer lark]

mb

[merry elm]

the other option is library bookshelf

[merry elm]

and my thing is, i want a bit of an angle to it

[runic cargo]

that's fair and the librarian bookshelf works pretty well.

I'm reletively new to the whole building thing. So my ideas might be a bit off.

[signal dawn]

oo, that's really cool

a random decoration thing i discovered was to use inlet/outlet pumps as a metal thing

and paint it

[junior badger]

Probably building a grand masterpiece

[uncut granite]

She's been offline for a long time

[junior badger]

They might be busy with irl stuff

So for the time being

Let em be

Anyways

I'm nearly done with my own build

[merry elm]

oh?

[junior badger]

I just need to refine the top part
Then I'm done

[junior badger]

It is done.

How it looks on the map

[merry elm]

hows this for a first floor?

[runic cargo]

looks fantastic. I especially like the spiral staircase. Don't think I've seen it done quite that way before.

[junior badger]

Looks better than whatever I could think of.

[barren bison]

That looks soo cozy. It has that studio ghibli vibes. How did u make that fridge?

[next fiber]

if anyone wants free random building help dm me cause im bored, i wont talk

[radiant loom]

i actually really like this btw

i'll remember that

[radiant loom]

its librarian bookshelf

instead of a bookcase they just made it a giant book

[formal bronze]

me when my fridge has a person engraved on it

[finite bridge]

Finished this video up today. I hope this is the proper place to share it!
https://youtu.be/ydlr3hp8HbQ?si=9C3TOFxJGknCz3Ry

[uncut granite]

Don't do a staircase like that

Also

That's a cool fridge

[timid tiger]

looks more like a freezer room

[thin topaz]

anyone got tips for building trees without the body looking goofy

i want it to be somewhat small but im down to make it a lil bigger if it makes it look better i should prolly experiment first and maybe shimmer the star cloak first 🙏

[junior badger]

Current build projects in terraria(Mobile):

[Undecided design]
Spawn area(All four classes statue or big tree) - Undecided

[surreal furnace]

I sense that there's something cool I can do with the attaic, but I don't know what

[signal dawn]

Any ideas how I can slightly alter this room to make it less flat? I think staircases seem too boring and I wanna play around with different room shapes

This is going to be a vanity room

[signal dawn]

Crates, cobwebs

[alpine burrow]

Make it girthier

[thin topaz]

3 blocks or 2?

[surreal furnace]

More or less done with the forest pylon. That's 3 down.

[wise bane]

why did it take so many hours

[junior badger]

Constant revamping

[alpine burrow]

Uhhh I'd say to start with 2

[thin topaz]

Uhh alr jus got the trunk or do you say the branches aswell?

[alpine burrow]

I mean if you look at actual trees the trunk is always bigger than the branches

I mean alright sure

[junior badger]

Change of plans

The abyss ocean will be built next

I already have the shape after all

[radiant loom]

This is hilarious 😭

love it

[junior badger]

AHHAHAHHHA

[merry elm]

y not

[merry elm]

figured it out myself, looked the most similar and then experimented with paint

[merry elm]

i mean old fridges did tend to be a bit fancy

[merry elm]

thanks

[merry elm]

but yeah, i needed a 3 wide staircase to fit. the normal 5 wide design was...well, too big

[junior badger]

You'd be jumping instead of normally going up

You'd be jumping instead of normally going up

[merry elm]

thats the case with all spiral staircases tho

[uncut granite]

There's a better design u might wanna try

[merry elm]

oh? do tell!

[finite bridge]

Aw, thank you!

[merry elm]

Dang, impressive

been watching this on the side

[merry elm]

wait, mobile?? damn

[wise bane]

how to make trees

pls trees

give me tree designs

i need trees

[merry elm]

plant an acorn

[junior badger]

...
It took you
This long?

[wise bane]

give me trees

i need trees pls more trees

[wise bane]

better trees

[merry elm]

my brain just completely didnt register it

[uncut granite]

Wait wait

[uncut granite]

I have

[merry elm]

the thought of builds so great coming from mobile

[wise bane]

showw

[junior badger]

You can look at nameless Deity's trees

[wise bane]

no

[uncut granite]

Bark for me

[wise bane]

fraud diety

never

[wise bane]

no

ill make my own trees

[merry elm]

look at irl trees and try to copy it block for block

[wise bane]

bro

i dont take irl stuff

for inspo

i cant do that

too complicated

[merry elm]

i mean...look outside your window

or better yet

taka a photo of a tree

trace over it in photoshop

[wise bane]

i see asphalt

[merry elm]

then use that trace as an outliine

[wise bane]

trace???

thats so complex bro

[junior badger]

😭

[wise bane]

terraria builders lowk so talented

[uncut granite]

Use this as reference

That's not my build btw

Just for inspo

[merry elm]

id argue mobile is a test of patience

[uncut granite]

Now go, bark for me

[merry elm]

:p

[uncut granite]

Oh yea I forgot

[junior badger]

The top right one looks so close to my imagination of a large tree for spawn area

Yet I still cannot choose

Tall tree

[wise bane]

i figured

u cant build good trees

🥹

[junior badger]

Or each pillar class statues

[uncut granite]

I can build costume trees

Costume lmao

[junior badger]

How would it be a test of patience

[merry elm]

forgot what it was?

[uncut granite]

I can build custom trees

[merry elm]

the controls

and tiny screen

[junior badger]

I just adjusted them

[uncut granite]

But it's not that good

[junior badger]

My phone is wide enough

[merry elm]

and relying on touch screen for placement

[wise bane]

u cant

[merry elm]

again...im limited by horizontal space

[uncut granite]

That's a wisteria tree

[uncut granite]

Nuh uh

False

[merry elm]

i love that stair design dont get me wrong

but how am i gonna fir that in here

[wise bane]

these stairs are trash gen

do spirals

and nothing else

so space efficient

so cool

so amazing

[merry elm]

even just the first vertical part is too wide

[junior badger]

I'm planning to build something similar to it

[wise bane]

meet potential stair:
"it looks good"
"its easy to make"
0 efficiency
0 space left
7 rooms taken up by random stair
always can and might but never is

genuinely trash

remove rails from the game

[junior badger]

You can make a spiral looking staircase with simple platforms

[wise bane]

so these shitty stairs are also gone

[uncut granite]

Real is bully

[wise bane]

no

[merry elm]

i tried the typical design, too wide

i needed this compact

[wise bane]

compact???

spiral 🥹🥹🥹

[merry elm]

ye

[merry elm]

its what i did, but if there's other spital designs that could fit here id be more thaan up to try em

i could maybe spare 1 more block horizontally, but it'd make things look too cramped

[wise bane]

do this spiral

[merry elm]

thats...still 5 wide

no 6 wide

[wise bane]

oh bro i didnt read

u can fit 5 in the build tho

theres a tile of extra space

[uncut granite]

[merry elm]

true, but im worried about making it look TOO cramped

[wise bane]

noway

impossible

it wont be cramped

[junior badger]

Honestly just do something like this at this point
Simplicity is better than trying to make something "Extravagant"

[wise bane]

this uses a 6 wide staircase and it isnt cramped

[wise bane]

can u take a screenshot in color lighting this so cool

[junior badger]

But different builders have different tastes so you do you

[junior badger]

No I'm keeping my shi lag free

[wise bane]

color isnt laggy

what do you mean

i would quit terraria than play on trippy

[uncut granite]

🙅‍♀️

[merry elm]

eh, thats a bit too simple even for me

[uncut granite]

19th repost:

[junior badger]

I'm forever sticking to Trippy lighting.

[wise bane]

valid reposts

btw

i havent made anything new

[junior badger]

Simplicity at it's finest 🗣️🔥💯

[uncut granite]

Nuh uh

[wise bane]

cool gradient right

heres this

[junior badger]

Mf made an entire copy of their Minecraft screen 😭

[wise bane]

ight bro

[merry elm]

plus...i debate between seaweed planter and bamboo here

or palm tree when dryad sells it

[junior badger]

I will forever stick to trippy lighting

[wise bane]

planter no diffs

[wise bane]

we know

[junior badger]

🗿

[uncut granite]

Overrated

[merry elm]

one is 2 wide, the other is 3

[wise bane]

yes but planter looks better

imo

[merry elm]

ah kk

id need to see the palm tree when i get it

but for now, planter

need the space

but yeah, staircase...the design i went with was born from necesity since i needed the dining table to be on the same floor as kitchen. otherwise it'd make no sense yeah?

who'd have their eating table on a different floor than their kitchen?

but i wouldnt mind trying other stuff for the stairs

[surreal furnace]

Think this looks way better than what you had before. The kitchen makes it feel more real in a way.

[finite bridge]

Thank you!

[merry elm]

trying to play around with the platforms and how they connect

[wise bane]

man this story really needs some goblin armies, I like the visualisation you did

[merry elm]

also put a lil trash bin by the fridge

like im having troyble with where the stairs connect to the floor. It just looks...off, idk

[wise bane]

i get what u mean but i got no idea how to fix it

maybe different platforms??

[merry elm]

yeah, maybe that would help

[hasty geode]

https://imgur.com/a/Ds849KG

any ideas on how to finish this base? just started hardmode

[dense pivot]

slow progress id say

interiors

giving me a rough time as always

[merry elm]

im trying messing with walls, hows it look?

idk if this looks better or worse

[flat trail]

i mean it looks a bit empty

[merry elm]

well im still working on it

i mean the stairs

[flat trail]

stairs are very good

i havent seen a beautiful stair like that

[fiery roost]

Daaaamn, this looks clean! I like the disposition of the attic

[sacred prairie]

The walls could use a vertical support or 2 but it looks really good so far

[surreal furnace]

workin on a simple hell pylon. I like that the master bedroom is large, but I don't know what wall to use or how to fill the empty space

[dark jewel]

pre cultic vanilla base wip

[alpine burrow]

I love the chains!!!

[dense pivot]

this build is missing the goblin tinkerer hanging over the lava I think
ok jokes aside this is really nice

[alpine burrow]

TRUE

[surreal furnace]

Thanks. Saw someone build meaty chains years ago and had it in my back pocket since.

[alpine burrow]

I remember when I got so scammed from him in getfixedboi that I genuinely crashed out and built him a rundown broken house of the smallest size in a hole in the ash ground in hell with a tattered sign saying "hole of the shameful traitor"

[surreal furnace]

Gonna leave it here for now, unless I feel inspired to build more rooms or mini cages for the tinkerer or angler

[dense pivot]

OH WAIT I FORGOT THEY ADDED HELL PYLONS

[surreal furnace]

It's a hell of a thing

[dense pivot]

background walls on this looks real nice

[dark jewel]

u should see my practice builds i do in tmod lol. 10000x better

[wooden sigil]

What’s that roof? I love that shade of purple

[dark jewel]

shingles and hay painted purple

[wooden sigil]

Gotcha

I knew the shingles but not the hay

[wooden sigil]

Could put your bed and piggy bank in the room you’re standing in

And put some crates in the attic room

The classic lol

[shut bear]

Hey this is a cool looking bui- IS THAT TOBY RADIATION FOX

[wooden sigil]

One sec let me find a pic of my build where I did the same spiral method

That’s how I did mine

But now that I look at it I don’t really like it 😭

This is the reference I used online

@merry elm I think yours may look weird due to where your floor level is

[dense pivot]

Perfection

[dense pivot]

Purple painted blue shingles and violet painted hay walls
At least I think it was violet

[wooden sigil]

Ty

Such a nice purple

[dense pivot]

It is!

[wooden sigil]

Deep but not murky

@dense pivot What are the wooden walls? Not the boreal or ebonwood

The thick horizontal ones

[dense pivot]

Thick horizontal ones?

The walls as in the background walls im gonna assume

[wooden sigil]

Behind the left half of the workbench in the top room

[dense pivot]

Ash wood iirc

[wooden sigil]

Gotcha

I wonder if the devs intended for brown painted ebonwood to be near identical to regular wood in color lol

[dense pivot]

Paints make most things not look like what they are

[wooden sigil]

Yeah

[dense pivot]

There is granite furniture and blocks in that house

[wooden sigil]

I used granite tables to make my windows have a semi circle at the top

Doesn’t perfectly blend in with the lead brick walls though

I forget what color the lead brick walls are painted

[runic cargo]

https://imgur.com/a/QetbU2C I've been building a little sky village kind of deal. The cloud base needs forming, clearly. but I think I like what i have here. I like the little bridge in particular. shout out to Hypermun for the idea of using the librarian bookshelf as a fridge.

[merry elm]

Yeah, idk what kind of other stair to use

[thin topaz]

How would it look if you actuated the one where it's ment to look like it's curving back

Could add some depth

[thin topaz]

Lol it's fairly useless tho cuz demon conch

[slender trail]

All of my pylon builds in my first expert mode world

(now that I think of it i dont know why I captured them without the backrounds)

[lunar raft]

What kind of builds are being shared in this channel these days

[formal bronze]

truly a hammer moment of all time

[junior badger]

Idk
I'm just trying to build Terraria Calamity structures into vanilla

Now the next build I'm going to do is the abyss

[shell violet]

Brown paint makes nearly all the wood match thankfully

[shell violet]

Builds is generous

[surreal furnace]

I'm gonna turn this hill into a glowing mushroom. What are some good blocks to use for the inside? Don't really want walls.

[surreal furnace]

Tried living wood

[prisma meadow]

mud and mudstone bricks are good

all woods painted white could work too

[surreal furnace]

I do quite like white painted mud

[wise bane]

true, my builds are more like art

🥹

[plucky zealot]

Jungle slop (my latest 2 builds)

[alpine burrow]

If that's slop then I'm building with children's wooden letter blocks

[upbeat sigil]

Slop? Do we have the same definition of slop?! D:

[solar lark]

cool

[solar lark]

no u dont thats cool as i have ever seen

[alpine burrow]

Maybe you go tell your friend to stop wasting people's time in dms to be a nazi

Hope he enjoyed his account getting banned

Also maybe pick a better chat to be a nuisance than terraria creations

[surreal furnace]

Let's get back to the building, shall we

[alpine burrow]

No you idiot I actually checked on google which way it was facing and it was the nazi way don't even try that with me lil bro

Tell him to get help I'm gonna go enjoy my easter lunch and not flood this chat further

Hah okay no apparently now you were on my computer alright wizard

[surreal furnace]

Check out this pyramid I built

[forest sundial]

Nice

[surreal furnace]

Back at it with mushrooms. Need to have one mushroom line in the foreground and one in the background. What is the best way to achieve this effect?

[alpine burrow]

Wh what wdym line

Is this like a side view of a mushroom cap with the bulbous part sticking out?

[surreal furnace]

If red line is darker, then the mushroom is leaning towards us (so you normally wouldn't see the inside/underside of it without mining)

If the purple line is darker then the mushroom leans away from us and reveals the underside

[alpine burrow]

ohhh okay okay

[surreal furnace]

Little easier to make look natural, and you can just actuate in that case, but I'mprobably gonna use the room for something so haven't decided

[dense pivot]

I dont know if I fully understand but probably actuators or darker colored paint

[alpine burrow]

do you necessarily have to use glowing mushroom blocks? how about a block that resembles the texture of irl mushrooms, so you can have more possibilities

[dense pivot]

that too

[surreal furnace]

I think if I make the red line the behind line, I'll have to use other blocks, perhaps grey living wood

[worthy kraken]

Peak

[merry elm]

i still wonder if what i did here helps to fix the stairs a bit\

with the planked blocks help to give it that 3d feel that its going backwards

what do yall think?

[dense pivot]

the windows on these are so damn cool

[merry elm]

again, im limited in staircase designs due to horizontal space

i did manage to move it to the side and put a mini trashbin under it (using gray painted mahogany beam)

anything else i could add yall think?

i could try to add a wall cabinet, but idk if it'd compromise the angle or how id even make it

we need cabinet blocks...

just a 2x2 flush square chest type that can be stacked on top of each other and can be mounted on a wall

but yeah, now that side area...i guess it should be the dining area? living room? its tricky since its not much space to work with for both a couch and table + chair

and im very hesitant to extend the house any further inwards because...well

this is all the space i have to work with

i should have build the house more out into the water, but i build the boat first

i mean...maybe i could squeeze one or two blocks out to the right? though it'd be tricky to make it look like the sail isnt about to bash into the house

i know i overthink things a lot, but i am getting a bit tired of tearing all this down...and the loom there is just because i needed it

[wise bane]

just keep it

[merry elm]

keep what

[wise bane]

the house

in the same spot

[merry elm]

well im struggling to furnish it

the first floor at least

[wise bane]

whats it looking like rn

[merry elm]

this

i wanna do it floor by floor so i dont have to tear it down each time there's a part thats limited by the previous floor

[wise bane]

what about like a

drink thing

just place decorative healing pots on platforms

and paint them

[merry elm]

like logically, there would be a living/dining area there

[wise bane]

oh

[merry elm]

right?

[wise bane]

yeah ur right

a couch and table?

i feel shifting the door 1 block to the left

would allow for a couch and table with 2 chairs

1 chair maybe idk

[merry elm]

there's not enough room for all that, thats the issue

[surreal furnace]

If you do this, furnituring becomes pretty easy I'd think. Can have a grander floor on top of this

[merry elm]

ye, but im focussing one floor at a time

[wise bane]

i think theyr struggling with the bottom floor

like the seaweed planter one

[merry elm]

rn im doing bottom floor first since that will determine the size of the next one

[wise bane]

genuinely just remove the planter

[merry elm]

like, i can do this

[wise bane]

yeah remove the planter to do that imo

[merry elm]

does make it a bit cramped

[wise bane]

could remove the left most chair?

shift the couch 1 block to the left

[merry elm]

that i was hoping could be a lil coffee table

and a couch being all the way over feels awkward, no?

[wise bane]

i guess yeah

[surreal furnace]

Kitchen dining areas are often more cramped so think this is fine. You could try a bar design too

[wise bane]

i think this is good

its not that cramped

[wise bane]

and yeah i agree with this

[surreal furnace]

It's normal level of cramped for context

[merry elm]

true, i guess the left side im thinking more on the perspective of someone entering a house

[surreal furnace]

Here's the go-to bar design I use, though I'm sure there are a million others. You can even use the furniture if you feel adventurous

[merry elm]

heh, tho would a bar make sense in an angler house tho

like...why cant we have 2x2 tables...

[near mango]

work benches are the closest to that, in particular dynasty

[merry elm]

i also tried using a crate as a table, but it felt too awkward

[merry elm]

yeah, but thats 2x1

[near mango]

yea

[plucky zealot]

furniture sample

[merry elm]

yee, that stuff looks amazing

but my issue is i just cant fit it all with how things are now

i could move the living area to the 2nd floor

but wouldnt that be a bit awkward?

or move the dining area to the 2nd floor...

[surreal furnace]

You could move kitchen up as well, make first floor more of an entrance or lobby area

[merry elm]

that is an option, but i grew up in a fishing village. that's not how any self respecting fish shack would do things. you'd want to get your catch to the kitchen asap

[plucky zealot]

just do a table and some chairs with food on the table and a lamp or planter next to it

[merry elm]

and where would the living area be? upstairs i guess works still

[surreal furnace]

I'd dedicate the rest of the first floor to fish related activities like gutting, eating, or more kitchen stuff. Adds a lot of flavor.

[merry elm]

maybe i should look at vertical houses and how they're done

[merry elm]

ah, i already have a plan for those, dont worry

[surreal furnace]

Anyone like stockfish?

[merry elm]

oooo, great idea!

like...does this kind of layout make sense?

or...

and the exact furniture is just a placeholder for now

i guess im just trying to think about this logically

and what feels like a big sin...no room for a window

[slow dew]

get rid of the painting

put a window above the sink

[merry elm]

this is how much room id have for it

[slow dew]

you can make it not look like that and fit it in there

[merry elm]

i mean...a full window with frame and shutters

[slow dew]

i mean why would you have shutters next to the fridge?

[merry elm]

why wouldnt you have shutters in your kitchen window?

[slow dew]

I don't lol

I use blinds

[merry elm]

it also is to serve as vertical window frames

[slow dew]

again, not necessary for a window

[merry elm]

i mean...this looks a bit awkward

it works better with wooden walls and stuff more noisy, but it doesnt feel like it works with this kind of wall

maybe it needs some actuated glass

[slow dew]

you can use walls under the glass still

to fill that little gap there

[merry elm]

i guess, one thing i wanted was to create the illusion of 3d-ness by having that wall behind the sink be a backboard

something about this doesnt feel right...

[slow dew]

you extended the glass too far

just have it be that 2x2 space

then you could use a different wall to make it blend in better on the sides

[surreal furnace]

Try hammering the platforms unless you want to put something on them

[merry elm]

i dunno, it still just looks...off

[plucky zealot]

add some plates on the table and some hanging lights from the ceiling

[vital geyser]

the cooker area is excellent!

what did you use for the bottom?

[merry elm]

bottom of what

[vital geyser]

the cooker area

[merry elm]

the stove?

[vital geyser]

yis

[merry elm]

black painted meteorite dresser

[vital geyser]

tyty

looks so good

extremely effective

[merry elm]

like for the kitchen, if i wanted to respect the perspective, the window would be here

[slow dew]

that looks so bad tho 😭

[merry elm]

agreed

[merry elm]

but so does this

it looks like its offset from the sink

[slow dew]

i feel like this can look better with more work

[merry elm]

i dont know what i could do, the whole kitchen is at a slight angle

[slow dew]

it's a shame there isn't a half wall

just a trim you could add

[merry elm]

like...anything id do to one side of the window i'd need to do for the other

but the stove is in the way

i mean...imagine seeing a sink thats not centered on the window

[slow dew]

could you paint the bit above the stove black? then you could make the sides of the windows wood walls for trim

[merry elm]

moving that around, i get this

[slow dew]

i do not like putting the glass behind the stove there

[merry elm]

yeah agreed

[slow dew]

you could prolly solve it with more paint

[merry elm]

i was trying with paint and platforms n walls

this is the best thing i could get

[slow dew]

move the wood one over left, extend the glass one over left

[merry elm]

which wood

[slow dew]

okay this is looking better, maybe something behind the plates there or a furniture piece on top of the bookshelf that would cover some of the trim and then a wall there

[merry elm]

well its a fridge

you want the fridge covering the window?

[slow dew]

yes

like that

[merry elm]

so...part of the fridge is sitting in front of the window

blocking the shutters and rim

[dense pivot]

im sorry but the window looks like ඞ

amogus

[merry elm]

god damn it you're right

[merry elm]

but yeah, is it me or does something feel off?

[dense pivot]

window's missing a frame imo

itll be really hard to fit one in given the space

[merry elm]

yeah, logically this doesnt make sense

[dense pivot]

you could probably fit it in if you make a distinct enough frame

[merry elm]

it'd maybe work if i could rotate the fridge, but i xant

[slow dew]

if you think of it like shutters then it sounds bad

[merry elm]

like, walls dont have priority or mixing or anything like that in this game

you cant get it to overlap more

[slow dew]

walls used to have priority 😔

[merry elm]

or well, priorities

[slow dew]

i think they're still making a fix for that

[merry elm]

like so one can spill into another

[slow dew]

right yeah

[merry elm]

but yeah...

and if i think of the edges as really wide frames, then it makes the sink look off center

[slow dew]

but that's what I was getting at with the paint and the furniture, if you block enough of the wall then it looks less like shutters and more like a trim

like how the top of the window looks

[dense pivot]

also can we get a zoom out

[dense pivot]

I think its also important to look at how it fits with the rest of the build

[slow dew]

like I don't hate it but yeah it is a bit off

[dense pivot]

yea

[merry elm]

and...well, i feel like i should lower the ceiling if i dont plan on using that extra block of space, but at the same time that'd make doing the balcony hell architecturally

[dense pivot]

I personally liked this more because it all fit into its one specific area instead of having to overlap with the fridge

[slow dew]

except it looks worse since it's not center

[merry elm]

it is center

[slow dew]

this?

[merry elm]

yes

consider the angle

[slow dew]

the glass isn't no

I'm gonna need another zoomed out pic with that then

[merry elm]

consider the sink like this

[slow dew]

I'm not picking up what you're cooking there

I am not considering the sink like that 😭

[merry elm]

now you see it?

[slow dew]

i see what you mean now, but that looks ugly still

[merry elm]

what does, the sink or the window

[dense pivot]

I think, either you go with the 1 wide or just no window at all

[merry elm]

and yesh, the window is too thin

[slow dew]

both imo

[merry elm]

well i didnt know how to get the sink to flush with the angle of the furnace and fridge

believe me, i tried every cabinet sink

[slow dew]

the issue is that the faucet isn't correct then with that look

it doesn't match the perspective you're creating

[merry elm]

true...

[dense pivot]

perspective always chases me into everything I do

god damn it

it haunts me

[merry elm]

i was thinking it was one of those old sinks that had the faucet to the side

stuff like

[slow dew]

it could be made to be believable if you see it that way, but you couldn't have the the window there then yeah

[merry elm]

yeah...

[slow dew]

next best spot would be above the dining room table

[merry elm]

but now im thinking about the sink...

i cant use boreal due to how the paint works on it

this was the other best candidate

lemme rotate these things!!

but yeah, this doesnt look right either yeah?

i mean, i need a cabinet somewhere in the kitchen

[slow dew]

it looks better imo, at least the sink part

[merry elm]

like...the sink just feels off with this one

...yeah no this wont work, not the sink stuff

man i got on a tangent there

for now, back to the overall issue at hand

I dont know how to organize the dining and living areas

i feel like a window there looks awkward

or well...hmmm

[dense pivot]

perhaps some furniture, and maybe a block higher

[merry elm]

i wish i could swap the planter and the clock around, but the clock is too tall for the window

stuff like this is why i debate if i should give the house an extra block or 2 of width

it'd mean tearing down a lot to move it over

but i dont wanna commit to that before exausting every option and planning ahead

[dense pivot]

How does it look with the blocks ontop of the window removed and the clock in its place?

[merry elm]

not good

[dense pivot]

How about some platforms for thr windoe frame

You could make it decently rounded with that

[merry elm]

what do you mean?

[plucky zealot]

little thing in general, i would use less palmwood, not the best looking wood

there are some furniture pieces of it that are nice but further more its pretty mid imo

[merry elm]

i know, i just want that tropical theme

and its what i had on hand, ill probaably experiment with furnature types later

[plucky zealot]

i mean, thats mostly dictated by the decorations used

[merry elm]

i just wanna make sure i have space for things

fair

[plucky zealot]

in general ebonwood is a straight upgrade from palm wood in most cases

[merry elm]

im in a crimson world

pre hardmode

[plucky zealot]

shade wood isnt terrible either, otherwise you can use large bamboo or ashwood. those look great aswel

hol on lemme cook up tropical build rq

[merry elm]

oh i know, ive been mixing em in the whole build

you should see the ship i cooked up

but i do like palm wood floors

[dense pivot]

How many times has this build been torn down and back up :p

[merry elm]

and the clean ridge the palm wood fence makes

[merry elm]

only twice

or well, one and a half

like, id just need to tear down the right wall and staircase to move em over 1 or 2 blocks

...and all the furniture

[dense pivot]

Platforms/hammered wood on the top glass block so it doesnt just abruptly end

[merry elm]

still messed up because clock blocked

[dense pivot]

Right

[uncut granite]

Green dungeon sink

[merry elm]

but thats not a cabinet sink

[uncut granite]

What are you looking for

[merry elm]

im not worrying about the sink rn

[dense pivot]

Fishing profit

Lovely

[merry elm]

daannng, nice

but yeah, i really dont wanna have to tear this down again for a few blocks of space

[uncut granite]

Fishing might be b
The new meta

[plucky zealot]

aight something like this should suffice, bit rushed but whatever

[dense pivot]

Ash wood is great

[merry elm]

daannng, nice

agreed

also keep in mind im limited to pre hardmode blocks rn

tho wait, how did you get those X patterns

[plucky zealot]

yeah sure, ill keep that in mind with the decorations

[plucky zealot]

large bamboo

[merry elm]

ic ic

the tin roof is a nice touch

[plucky zealot]

mhm, typical tropics roof

[merry elm]

mhm, i guess mine is more structured

[plucky zealot]

i could make another one next to it thats a little less worn

lemme finish this one first though

[merry elm]

your call, i do appreciate this tho

[plucky zealot]

i'll make one, i need some more building practice eitherway

[merry elm]

I mean...should i make the house a bit wider to the right?

[plucky zealot]

you can, doesnt have to

[merry elm]

i mean...do i have the space to furnish things nicely as is rn

thats the big question

[dense pivot]

Little suggestion with the platforms on the window but you could move them down a block and not hammer it, might look better
If you don't plan on placing anything 2 block tall ontop of the table of course

[plucky zealot]

i think you have plenty of space tbh

[dense pivot]

Yea if you can fit a kitchen that looks pretty good imo you can probably fit most things into your given space

[merry elm]

yeah, but the left space to put enough that makes sense

[plucky zealot]

spiced up the walls a bit for some variety

[merry elm]

like...a house would have a living/dining room there, but there's not enough space for all of that

huh, what blocks are those for the staircase

[dense pivot]

Nice pattern

[plucky zealot]

librarian platforms

[plucky zealot]

thx, its a bit lazy ngl

[merry elm]

but yeah, the teapot would have been nice to have on the table

[plucky zealot]

lemme cook something up furniture wise rq

[dense pivot]

Trying to figure out the walls
Is it ebonwood, bamboo, normal wood, and some sort of bricks? (My guess being mud)

[plucky zealot]

main pattern is ebonwood and regular wood and i used bamboo, spooky wood and some mudbrick walls for texturing

you can make the mix alot more advanced if you want but cba rn

[surreal furnace]

If you were living inside a mushroom, what kind of wall would you use?

[merry elm]

like...i wanna have all the essentials in spots that make sense

kitchen, dining, living, bathroom, bedroom, hobby

[alpine burrow]

sails or smooth marble or living wood

[dense pivot]

mmm inevitably it is your choice as you are the builder here
The sentiment from me is that youll probably be fine but I dont know the vision that you have in mind

[alpine burrow]

wait what will the walls be for? the stem or the underside?

[surreal furnace]

stem

[alpine burrow]

ahhh

well no the current one looks awesome!!! i don't even know what it is

[plucky zealot]

here is a fairly simple kitchen design i made, though not really great at decorating kitchens

[surreal furnace]

It's office wall, which has become one of my favorites. Orange painted living leaf wall also looked cool. Trying feywood wall since it's thematic

[plucky zealot]

tad better, added some structure to the walls

[dense pivot]

I really need to get myself hanging pots

[merry elm]

ah, got that swampy vibe

tho the fridge does contrast with the rest

[dense pivot]

Maybe painted gray

For a more silver look

Otherwise looks great

[merry elm]

or more wrought iron look

but yeah, its easy to furnish when your space isnt limited

[plucky zealot]

added a window rq for some more light

[dense pivot]

love how creating detailed windows in terraria involves intentional holes in the window

[merry elm]

yeah, though love is a strong word

[plucky zealot]

this should be compact enough

[merry elm]

wouldnt holes in the wall make it so enemies can spawn?

[plucky zealot]

nah

[merry elm]

also...wheres the dining area then

thats the big setback here

[plucky zealot]

ill cook one of those up aswel i suppose

[merry elm]

yeah, but i guess im conflicted

should the dining and living be on 2 separate floors?

[plucky zealot]

you could, but decorational concept is the same

[merry elm]

mhm, thing is i dont think i have a choice

i dont have enough space rn to have both

not on the first floor

[plucky zealot]

thats fine

just move the living area up

designwise it doesnt change anything

[merry elm]

but what makes sense...?

[plucky zealot]

yeah makes perfect sense

[merry elm]

fair

like...ive never seen that before irl

and i cant find a reference for it for the life of me

[plucky zealot]

i've seen it many times, its not that weird

[merry elm]

for there to be no living room or great room on the lower floor?

[plucky zealot]

yeah

and even if it isnt, its a fucking game... its not that deep

[merry elm]

fair

i guess i overthink this stuff

[dense pivot]

Yea

Its a house

Theres not really any set rules on stuff should go imo

Any room can be any room

[merry elm]

well...outside of the obvious

like "open plan bathroom"

[slow dew]

I mean tbf, not every house has a dining area nowadays

[merry elm]

fair, tho i cant fit a table in the kitchen

[plucky zealot]

very compact dining area

[dense pivot]

What is this table

And the gramophone

[plucky zealot]

flinx fur table

[dense pivot]

Is that how you spell that

[plucky zealot]

deerclops music box

[dense pivot]

I really need to look into all of the furniture sets terraria has

Theres so much gold to find

[plucky zealot]

added a quick office

hol on lemme add some finishes

[merry elm]

hmmmm...im trying but im still running out of space with even a dining like that

because of how my stairs turn

i wanna have the fih because thematic and funny

[plucky zealot]

perfect

[merry elm]

and i mean...c'mon, you cant have a fisherman's house without a singing bass

[slow dew]

you can move the bass to above the bed

it's his alarm clock

[dense pivot]

Are these from the office set

[plucky zealot]

most of it yeah

[merry elm]

lol

[dense pivot]

Im gonna be using that holy

Ive been neglecting using it I didnt think it had really cool furniture

[merry elm]

its hard to make it fit into rustic builds

modern ones? absolutely its a must have

and im going for more late 1800's early 1900's style. that transitionary period

...or the stuff of a grandpa who hasnt replaced his stuff since his grandfather owned the place

[dense pivot]

Whats this glass with red liquid called? Is this just food on a plate or is this a block

[merry elm]

i mean this does look nice

[plucky zealot]

food on a plate, fruit juice

[merry elm]

but is it too fancy for whats gonna be the angler's house?

[plucky zealot]

not bad so far

[merry elm]

love the window tops btw

[plucky zealot]

thx, i love grate windows

[dense pivot]

Cooked up something so fast

Looks great

[merry elm]

yeah, you're good at this

[slow dew]

he's a brat

prolly hella fancy

[merry elm]

nah, he's a countryside kid

[dense pivot]

The angler is going to go into the iron lung into my world

[slow dew]

wannabe country

[merry elm]

lol

wait

i got palm trees

yayy or nay?

[plucky zealot]

its aight

[surreal furnace]

Anyone know any good 2 wide furniture to have next to my table/chairs?

[merry elm]

or is the seaweed better?

[marble oriole]

why is everything a masterpiece

[surreal furnace]

I prefer the seaweed due to height

[merry elm]

fair

[surreal furnace]

but the palm tree might work well when everything else is added

[merry elm]

yeah, i just kept finding that area too empty

plus, looks better with the beam

also, i am still proud of how i was able to fit a tiny trash bin next to the fridge

also, just for fun

behold, my ass kicking outfit!

aka the building loadout

[plucky zealot]

yeah this will do as a finished product

[merry elm]

you work fast

[dense pivot]

Crazy fast

[merry elm]

this has taken me days and most of it was trial/error and thinking

[plucky zealot]

i tried to this time yeah, usually my builds take a 5-6hrs

didnt put too much brain into this one. usually innovation takes the longest

[merry elm]

yeah

[dense pivot]

Its taken me roughly 10 hours for the house im workin on

[merry elm]

i feel like if i wasnt working under the size constraints i am, i could have had this done lol

[plucky zealot]

something like this took 7hrs? was my first time building after the update

[merry elm]

also...i have an odd feeling

are windows 2 tiles above the ground too high?

it feels...off

[dense pivot]

Lovely tree ontop

[merry elm]

agreed, couldnt tell at first glance it was a built tree

[versed shuttle]

Great job. Crazy amounts of detail

[plucky zealot]

thx, i've been trying to practice them with strange plants

[versed shuttle]

Yeah that’s insane bro

[plucky zealot]

thx ^^

[dense pivot]

I wish I wasnt lying in bed right now id be building

Id probably finished my house

[plucky zealot]

this was my first attempt at making a strange plant tree

[versed shuttle]

I could never

[dense pivot]

Didnt even realide theres strange plants in this

[slow dew]

i definitely need to get better at my trees, I took a stab at pine earlier

[plucky zealot]

the magic is alot of echo blocks lol

[plucky zealot]

pretty neat, havent really messed around with pine yet

[dense pivot]

Echo blocks are soo useful

Same with paint

[plucky zealot]

paint is super essential

[dense pivot]

Paint is yea

[surreal furnace]

Think my mushroom is pretty much done. Welcome ideas for improvement

[merry elm]

tried something

dont think it works

[surreal furnace]

Sick. Like that a lot

[dense pivot]

Id say it looks nice

[merry elm]

plus the window feels short

[plucky zealot]

i'd put the top window frame one above the actual window and hammer it a few times

[versed shuttle]

What’re echo blocks?

[dense pivot]

Is this living wood platform?

[versed shuttle]

Love mushroom stuff

[dense pivot]

Blocks that are invisible without a certain accessory

[slow dew]

invisible blocks, can only see them with echo goggles or other items

[dense pivot]

Or a monolith

[merry elm]

i dont think it works with dynasty wall

[versed shuttle]

Waow

[dense pivot]

It could

[plucky zealot]

it can, you just need to tactically hide the shitty bits like i did

[surreal furnace]

Echo paint very useful for walls, torches, and hiding furniture if there's not enough room on the floor

[merry elm]

there's not enough space for curtains

i mean...this does look nice

[versed shuttle]

There’s so much nuance to terraria building and clever block use

[dense pivot]

Indeed

It goes so deep

[versed shuttle]

[merry elm]

but this stops me from using a lamp

[plucky zealot]

use a lantern

[merry elm]

i meant lantern

i always keep getting the names confused

[plucky zealot]

you can no? just place on on the middle platform

[slow dew]

can also use echo paint to create a log that you can sit on

[merry elm]

lantern is ceiling, lamp is floor

[merry elm]

you're thinking of candle

lanterns are 2 tall from ceiling

[merry elm]

tthis design blocks it

[dense pivot]

Candle on the table for lighting?

[versed shuttle]

Waow

[dense pivot]

Also yea that

God there's so much nuance

[merry elm]

hmmm...but symetry...

[plucky zealot]

symetry is shit in building

[dense pivot]

Symmetry be damned

[merry elm]

depends

[plucky zealot]

easiest way to ruin a build is to make everything symetrical

[merry elm]

oh i know

[versed shuttle]

I think I’m mostly happy with where my building’s at

[merry elm]

furnishings n all shoudnt be symetrical

[versed shuttle]

Idk if I wanna put in the effort to learn all the echo blocks and hammering and shit

[dense pivot]

A lot of the learning for me is just going "Holy shit thats a block?"

[plucky zealot]

usually i just wing it for the meassurements

[merry elm]

but stuff like foundation, support beams, built in lighting, that stuff i feel has to be symetrical since thats the practical stuff

[versed shuttle]

😂

[dense pivot]

And also "Holy shit thats a block interaction?"

[plucky zealot]

hammering is pretty basic, echo blocks is understandable

[versed shuttle]

I should at least get into painting

[slow dew]

lighting definitely does not have to be symmetrical

[versed shuttle]

But to me it feels like cheating to paint for some reason

[plucky zealot]

painting is a bare minimum for building

[dense pivot]

^

[merry elm]

i need to use echo stuff more

[versed shuttle]

I’d rather find a block with the texture and color I want

[merry elm]

^

[dense pivot]

Painting is sooo important

[merry elm]

the minecraft school of building

[plucky zealot]

without paint your block choices are super limited and texturing is almost nonexistent

[versed shuttle]

Tru

[dense pivot]

Mostly anything can fit your needs if you use paint

[merry elm]

also...i should maybe use different light fixtures

[versed shuttle]

It is a Minecraft carryover for me

[merry elm]

i feel little open flames are a bit too primitive for a house like this yeah?

[dense pivot]

Dynasty lanterns are nice

Theyre easy to use since theyre squares of light

[plucky zealot]

my terraria building skills transferred ok ish into mc. this was my first build since my childhood shit boxes

[versed shuttle]

That’s stunning

[merry elm]

my favs are the dungeon lanterns

i just wish you could get em from dungeon crates
