#

(I just grab them from all item worlds)

merry elm
#

boooooooo

#

this is a 100% self contained master world

dense pivot
#

Fair

merry elm
#

but yeah, a house like this...

dense pivot
#

Idrc about grabbing building stuff from AIWs

#

Personally

merry elm
#

hanging bare lightbulb sort of house, open flame sort of house...?

#

bamboo could also be nice for thematics

#

pineapple

#

im just thinking of what kind of lighting a house like this would have

plucky zealot
#

omfg, no way i just opened a pringles can and its one of those where every chip has extra dust

#

crazy rng pull

merry elm
#

niiiiice

#

but yeah, a house with a traditional stove, old timey fridge/ice box...

#

any suggestions for lights?

#

i guess i wanna think in irl first, then try and translate that into terraria, but bamboo is nice

#

dynasty is a bit too "eastern" for a bumpkin like this

dense pivot
#

Bamboo id say

merry elm
#

ebonwood lanterns feel like they'd be good for a basic shaded hanging bulb, but again crimson

I really like the easter lantern. been using it a lot lately

uncut granite
#

I like the easter crafting table

#

Picnic basket

dense pivot
#

Wait thats so cool

#

Im taking note of that

#

So many good blocks got addedin 1.4.5

runic cargo
#

the easter workbench is a picnic basket? sweet

dense pivot
#

Yea it looks really nice

#

Perfect for like

#

An apple orchard sorta build

uncut granite
#

I put a pumpkin block on top of it

#

A plate and some food

#

Or whatever

runic cargo
#

I like building houses mostly and I really enjoy adding little details to the outside stuff.

#

so I'm gonna use that for sure

merry elm
#

here's office

#

bamboo

#

shadewood didnt work out

dense pivot
merry elm

#

teapot is probably too big

surreal furnace
#

If you don't put some sort of fish dish on the table I would be deeply disappointed

merry elm
#

whats a good table centerpiece

surreal furnace
#

Candle is a classic

runic cargo
#

I like the bamboo lanterns

#

they've got a nice texture

dense pivot
#

I put a flower pot on mine

#

Its a bit big tho

Bottle works too

slow dew
merry elm
#

I’ll put a tropical smoothie and a seafood dinner

slow dew
#

most torches work as plants

#

ichor is def the best looking but you're still prehm

merry elm
#

What’s that one

#

But yeah, a potted plant, bamboo candle…

#

One concept I had an idea of was a table made from a crate, but those were too small and couldn’t have as much stuff put on top of em

merry elm
#

Yeah, but for a fisherman’s dining table?

merry elm
#

A shell, that for the centerpiece

dense pivot
#

Oo

#

I like the sound of that

merry elm
#

Maybe an actuated shell pile block

#

Or just a typical seashell

#

Hmmm…rather than that painting above the sink, should I have a shelf or cabinet instead?

dense pivot
#

A shelf

#

Maybe you could use like

#

One of the more metallic ones from the dungeon

#

So it looks like a drying rack

#

Then you put fancy dishes (the block) ontop

merry elm
#

Hmmm…I’ll need to see

#

does the table look too busy?

dense pivot
merry elm
#

um...this may be too big for a window?

#

and the biggest flaw of windows like these...it makes it not valid housing

radiant loom
radiant loom
runic cargo
#

why does that make it not valid housing?

radiant loom
#

but these probably wont be valid

merry elm
#

oohhhh damn it...i encountered another practicality issue

#

and this one i will need to figure out first before anything

#

i need to find out how to manipulate an npc's housing flag

radiant loom
#

you gotta place blocks over and over šŸ˜”

#

its so lame

#

in my experience that was the only way i could find

merry elm
#

place blocks how?

#

no wait got it

radiant loom
#

if only you could just place the flag yourself

#

😭

merry elm
#

agreed

#

but yeah, for now

near mango
merry elm
#

and yeah, a shelf there looks so much better

radiant loom
merry elm
#

um...do yall think the table may be too tall?

near mango
near mango
#

they are all quite tall

#

i think someone made a short or video just talking about scale of furniture in this game somewhere

merry elm
#

i mean there's the crafting table

#

would also save me some space too

#

dang it

surreal furnace
#

Mushroom pylon V1 is done. Will do some more detailing, maybe add one or two mushrooms or buildings along the way

merry elm
#

this window too small?

#

there's still a bit of negative space

hmmm...still thinking of what i could put in here to help fill some of that vertical space

#

any suggestions?

Ooh perhaps you could even put a ship in a bottle on top of the fridge. If it doesn’t let you do it normally then you could do the teleporter glitch to make it float and place the fridge under it

merry elm
#

but also if i made it one block more inwards it'd mess up with the hanging light and the staircase

#

and the potted plant is too big to move the table over by 1, and said plant is one of the few things that can take up the tall space

#

ive been debating if i should lower the ceiling, but that'd mess up a lot of other stuff

merry elm
#

but yeah idk if something like this works

#

feels like the fish there would be too high

merry elm
fringe zodiac
merry elm
#

i guess im just having trouble thinking of what you'd put on top of a fridge

runic cargo
#

how about books aka cook books?

merry elm
#

good point

#

fish bowl was the other thing i was thinking, but that feels like it deserves its own room/place

merry elm
#

does the stove look better or worse un-hammered?

shell violet

surreal furnace
merry elm
#

there's a lot of options i could use here and yet so few at the same time

#

like...the dishes above the sink just makes sense, right? or should those be on top of the stove shelf?

runic cargo
#

sink is good

slow dew
#

you're definitely overthinking this again but I will say I've never stored dishes above my stove

runic cargo
#

to me, this looks perfect

merry elm
#

again, i was basing it off stuff like this

#

and this whole vibe

runic cargo
#

I think we now need copper kitchen things and a pan rack for decoration

merry elm
#

pan rack yes

#

what we need most is just a "cupboard" block, a 2x2 flush storage block that can stick to walls with 2 vertical front doors

merry elm
runic cargo
#

unusued space isn't a bad thing

#

Hey everyone, I’m new here. How many hours do you all have in Terraria?

runic cargo
#

robbie the robot has a date

hundreds

i think terraria-chat is the place for that question, though

amber siren
#

I have 30 hoursFallenStar

merry elm
#

closest thing ive found to making a decent shelf cupboard that has a nice scale is this:

#

its nice, but i dont think it fits here

#

im a big guy for the small details

#

hmm...i could always try to put a cabinet above the fridge, but i cant place most stuff on top of it since its a bookshelf

#

is this a scenario for the floating furniture glitch?

#

huh...this is an interesting combo trick i discovered

#

tulip shell + marble column = vent pipes that split off

chrome abyss
#

idk what to build as a village in a tundra im a bad-mediocre builder

merry elm
chrome abyss
#

i dunno

#

just random villagers

#

that are happy

merry elm
#

well maybe plan that out first

chrome abyss
#

ĆÆn a tundra

merry elm
#

and build around what/who they are

chrome abyss
#

k

#

but it should still prolly have a general theme

merry elm
#

like for me, i put my goblin tinkerer and mechanic in the underground tundra so both are in their fav biome + fav people

#

so to have a theme, im gonna build em a lab/workshop

chrome abyss
#

i was thinking about maybe making like one big hut like the one in fortine where u collect the presents

surreal furnace
# chrome abyss idk what to build as a village in a tundra im a bad-mediocre builder

Tundra lends itself to cabins, everything from small modest ones, to luxury skiing cabins.
The mechanic and tinkerer are often put into the tundra, so something dedicated to either of those, like workshop/inventor or production stuff.
In my last snow biome build I made two very simple igloos on a frozen lake with some stockfish drying outside for decoration.

#

Just find a theme that tickles your brain, like xmas or whatever. Or be lazy and build a cabin.

merry elm
#

i wish we could just mirror some of this stuff

#

is it really that hard to add a mirror sprite feature?

radiant loom
# merry elm

im super impressed by how far youve come with this build

merry elm
#

is the oven overkill?

merry elm
#

i do appreciate the compliment though, im just a bit embarrassed and mad at myself that i havent finished this yet

radiant loom
#

I THINK ITS COOL

#

its good learning for blockbuilt furniture

merry elm
#

mhm

#

fair nuff

#

im still unsure about the fridge

#

like, this much im satisfied with, but that huge blank spot over the fridge im unsure what to do with

#

ship in a bottle looks off like it'll fall over any moment

#

I guess there's fish?

#

but then you wont be ale to press the button

slow dew
#

above the fridge space is where the rice cooker goes NPCNurseThumbsUp

merry elm
#

rice cooker?

#

i will admit, my first idea was putting a bar on top of the fridge to give it cabinet space, but i cant do that since its a bookshelf

#

something like this

#

how do i do the furniture glitch?

radiant loom
#

that woulda been sweet

#

tedit can do it

merry elm
#

i know there's a glitch that lets you make furniture float so you can put stuff under it

slow dew
merry elm
#

wait, looks like they patched it

quick furnace
#

i may not be good at fancy interior stuff but i think it's nice

merry elm
#

ok, here's an experiment i tried to give it that fishy feel again. how is it?

#

also tried to add a small bookshelf via library platforms, but i wonder if there's a better place for that

radiant loom
#

you should try to do some interior shenanigans, it wouldnt hurt!

merry elm
#

hmmm...trying to make it more colorful, but i feel it may be just messier. what do yall think?

radiant loom
#

i think that it looks good, the lamps fit the beach anyway

merry elm
#

i guess its just the green feels out of place a bit, ya know?

radiant loom
#

nah plants are always okay

#

oh

#

you mean the green on the bamboo lamps?

#

fair enough if so

merry elm
#

mhm

radiant loom
#

i think that was the reason i didnt use mine in one of my builds actually

merry elm
#

and looking at thiis...does the table fit the vibe of the rest?

#

hmm...may stick with this as the final first floor? what do yall think?

#

only thing im questioning is that tiny bookshelf

merry elm
radiant loom
#

i still think you should put somethin above the window but not surexwhat

merry elm
#

same

#

but also, here's a bathroom

radiant loom
#

office bathtub is both a perfect modernish bathtub and a perfect front desk and it looks so good in both scenarios

#

only thing i would change is find a wall to put behind that mirror that looks shiny

merry elm
#

idk what walls are like that

#

also i realize...window in a bathroom...yikes

#

probably needs some privacy

#

that should help

#

tho it is still tiny

runic cargo
#

most of my bathrooms end up being that tiny.

#

I'm not great at planning out how big spaces should be

#

#

i really wanna put the aquarium bookshelf, but i feel it clashes with everything else too much

I wouldn't say it does, it looks fine

Crawl space can be improved by adding walls, as well as decor: acorns/corals/strange plants/gems, and rubblemaker/sandcastles.

merry elm
uncut granite
#

I thought it was edit or something

merry elm
#

Nope

#

Just wall jank

#

But yeah, I’m still questioning some of the furniture and the like

#

The furniture itself in satisfied with in the bathroom, I’m more concerned about the size/spacing

#

And I’m not satisfied with the ā€œfishing hoardā€ I gave angler here, but I don’t know how to improve it

#

Also, librarian platform are goated for fitting more stuff in small room. Shelf for spices, shampoo bottles, just actual books on a shelf, and the fact they’re so thick makes them good for frames or whatnot when painted or as a substitute for a full log

runic cargo
#

as far as the fish horde thing, I'd replace one of the trophies with duke fishron trophy or swordfish. more dramatic.

I absolutely cannot help you with this, but I have to mention this looks so much like Storm Eagle's stage in MMX

merry elm
#

how's this?

slow dew
#

not good

#

very blue

merry elm
#

ah, so more ocean needs to be covered up?

slow dew
#

yes

merry elm
#

should i expose just a bit of blue?

#

or all covered?

slow dew
#

i would have it all covered

merry elm
#

also looking at this at day, does it look too yellow?

#

the sandstone i mean

unborn sorrel
#

yeah, i think its a bit too yellow

slow dew
#

why not just add some stone?

merry elm
#

true, i could

#

but does the hard sand there look good or nah?

slow dew
#

I would say no

merry elm
#

eh, it was an experiment

#

waaaiiiit...i just had a thought

#

wouldnt i want my house to be supported by rocks?

slow dew
#

stone but yeah

#

if you really want it to have some foundation

merry elm
#

stuff like this

radiant loom
#

thats pretty spammy with the rocks, mix back in some sand rocks and starfish and shells imo

merry elm
#

fair, my thought was rocks helping to support the poles

radiant loom
#

it does kinda look like the poles are entering the rocks

merry elm
#

yeah

#

but i dont think it works here

#

for a rocky shore sure

radiant loom
#

the terrain isnt really rocky enough for it yeah i would agree

#

im still learning too mate

#

alr but how do i get as good as u are rn

#

also i cant find some materials so i cant make it until endgame or shuch stuff

merry elm
#

watch Khaios, look at irl pictures, and see building in terraria more like you would drawing a picture, not like you would building a house say in minecraft

marble oriole
#

ok

merry elm
#

try and Draw what you wanna have in terraria

#

not on a piece of paper, but that can help too

marble oriole
#

ur js talking about a blueprint

merry elm
#

but like, in game. try and imagine it like you would drawing a picture, with a specific angle in mind

marble oriole
#

ok

#

thanks

merry elm
#

thats what i do, and dont be ashamed to look at other's builds for inspo or to learn some building techs

runic cargo
#

Tommy Tsunamii is also a good one to watch

merry elm
#

@radiant loom @slow dew but yeah, hows this? i feel like i may have spammed sandmaker too many times-

slow dew
#

idk for me just having sand as your foundation just does not work for a house of your scale

sullen thunder
#

anyone wanna check out some of the textures ive made?

dense pivot
#

Oops left ping on that

#

I realy like this it feels very cohesive

dense pivot
#

On the bottom floor mainly

#

Maybe I could move the fish ontop of the shelf and put a window over the couch

merry elm
#

i tried doing it like its on stilts

slow dew
#

i would just suggest a solid concrete foundation

#

that's what a house like this would typically sit on

#

there are some ones on stilts but you'd have to raise the whole house higher and for those stilts to make sense

#

they also just don't translate well in-game

#

if you want something with texture you can try replicating coquina

runic cargo
#

ancient brick has great texture for foundations

merry elm
#

hmmm...

#

a friend suggested maybe i put a bit of water in there

#

so it looks a bit like tide pools

runic cargo
#

that could work

merry elm
#

i did see something like that online, lemme grab it

#

but yeah, the foundation needs work

#

i could lower the ground to put it higher on stilts, or i could make it proper foundation...

#

there's also stuff like

radiant loom
#

and make a lot of mistakes bc youll learn from them lol

chrome abyss
radiant loom
# chrome abyss https://imgur.com/a/N6rPR0T

i would say focus on changing walls out, theres cool ways to do windows that are more than just glass walls, and having it almost all be boreal can be a little repetetive

#

also roofing would be beneficial, above the layer you already got

chrome abyss
radiant loom
#

maybe see what wallpaper the painter is selling, could work for starters

radiant loom
# chrome abyss how?

scroll back and look through some of the houses people post, see how above the regular ceiling blocks they use a different block for a thicker roof above?

# merry elm

But yeah, I’m more satisfied with the foundation of this now that it looks like a more rocky shore, but I’m still thinking about the pylon itself. Still open to suggestions for both

dense pivot
merry elm
#

Could also do a giant scallop shell…

#

Or a big piece of coral…

#

Or a fountain…

#

I just feel my pylon needs some form of background element

dense pivot
#

like a pearl

merry elm
#

That is what I was thinking

#

Issue is, the pylon base wouldn’t match with it

#

Since it’s all sandy and painting it tends to be awkward

dense pivot

#

You could separate the clam so it sits on something, if that makes it easier to paint. Otherwise I like fountain, tiny pirate cave, or perhaps fish market

merry elm
#

Those last 2 are nice ideas, but I’m limited in space

# merry elm

because whats on screen is all i have to work with in terms of space

You guys are so creative. My main obstacle isn't knowing what I want to build exactly, but finding the right blocks and items to use. Do you guys duplicate items on the fly or do you have your building material in a chest? Can you share your building process with me?

I swear on everything, all you need to do is get the bad builds out of your system. You need to just build SOMETHING and then make it. "Make it first, then make it good", don't back away if something doesn't look right. I go on google, I search for something that I want to build, I see a cool looking build and I copy it. Now I've copied that build, I have experience being a better builder for a moment, those moments add up and I can always remember "oh, i built something like this from that reference".

Yeah, Khaios is a VERY good content creator for build tuts

I Should probably check him out lol

#

experimenting with blocks that look interesting always helps. create a journey mode character. use an editor to give them all items and then screw around with blocks and materials without having to worry about gathering them.

#

if it looks bad, just delete and start over

# trail quartz You guys are so creative. My main obstacle isn't knowing what I want to build ex...

a lot of people just research the whole catalogue using terrasavr.

however, i would recommend starting with basic materials. then, use an all-items world and do what nocware said about copying builds--head into an all-items world and find these blocks and research them when you use them.

this is a fun way of learning--like every time you use a new block, you "unlock" it for later use, now that you've used them before. this is how i do it, though i mostly experiment on my own instead of going off references at this point lol.
over time you'll get a feel for building with a lot of different kinds of things.

but yes, i just look through things i've already duplicated and i only use chests when i want to come back to a build later & need space for somethin else

I'm on mobile, long story but I won't have my PC again for another couple months, so I don't think these mods or cheats will fly anyways.

I guess the friction points of building are just disheartening for me. I wish I could just paint it on there. I did just discover the items that allow me to lay blocks and walls faster, so that's nice.

I'll get started on a new world today.

Thanks for the response.

landscaping is such a core part of builds and what really makes me feel immersed in an image, so that's what I'd really focus on

heavy silo
slow dew
# heavy silo do you have any tips on landscaping

for tiles and plants it's pretty easy, mostly just hammering and sloping till you get what feels right, then place stuff with a rubblemaker or whatever you want afterwards. Then for walls it gets tricky, you want some level of randomness but you also want it to make sense, so I would just place things just everywhere in the area you want them, then go over and just brush it up and add the little details afterwards. Remember to not have it too much like a pattern so it looks the most natural

#

Good morning everybody!

merry elm
#

Then start attaching rooms together, also helps to create more diverse shapes

#

Anywho, I finally have the idea of what I should do for the background

#

Or well…I’m torn between 2 ways of doing it. I wanna do a coral encrusted stone ā€œarchā€, but I’m torn between it either being a Stonehenge like structure or or being 2 sharper rocks leaning on each other in a triangular shape

#

Basically between these two shapes/structures

#

Encrusted with coral and the like

gleaming dove
#

Do 2 rocks!!!

merry elm
#

Yeah, 2 rocks may be easier and better for a beach

gleaming dove
#

Plus it looks cooler

#

In my opinion

merry elm
#

Third option would be 1 rock

gleaming dove
#

Chat is ts good

gleaming dove
merry elm
#

Which one to go with…

#

I guess it also depends on if there’s anything else I plan on doing with the shape

#

I’m just thinking out loud at this point. Because I need to be able to walk past/through this, I have to make it out of walls and actuated blocks, so I can’t do anything like a waterfall…plus a waterfall wouldn’t make much sense coming off of an arch?

#

Though…hm…if I do 3 or 1 rock, I could make the top solid and have a water basin on top that flows down off the sides

wise bane
merry elm
#

Dang…I thought of another shape…I’ll need to draw these out

#

Like the other idea was a structure like these, but taller and essentially a pillar that arches over the pylon

merry elm
#

Kinda like this…? Idk

#

It’s such a hard choice

wise bane
#

charge yo phone

merry elm
#

Already on it lol

#

I knew I’d get that

teal sage
#

I used tedit to remove echo platforms from under candles lol

merry elm
#

Hmmm…do yall have any advice for reef block vs coral stone block in a build?

#

When trying to build more natural structures and the like

wise bane
#

i like reef

merry elm
#

Yeah, but I mean more how do you use reef block ā€œproperlyā€? I’ve tried building whole corals with it, but something about it just doesn’t feel right

#

Everything I see online just uses coral stone for everything, that and painted other blocks

#

I guess I just haven’t seen good examples of its application

#

Also, any good background walls yall would reccomend for sand? I’m using yellow stucco rn but it just doesn’t feel right with the edge

merry elm
#

hmm...maybe deep orange cloud block would be good

#

do yall know any good paint and wall combos?

#

ive tried sandstone and hardenned sand, but they just didnt get the right color

runic cargo
#

I like using sandstone and deep lime

#

or maybe deep teal

merry elm
#

really? that combo works?

#

what kind of sandstone?

#

smooth, normal, hardened sand?

runic cargo
merry elm
#

um...i meant walls that could serve as walls to replicate sand

runic cargo
#

oh sorry

#

i really like the deep teal color

#

maybe a bit too much

merry elm
#

fair nuff

#

hmm...is putting the coralstone below there too much for the underside?

#

or did i use too many shell blocks?

gusty talon
#

not too much

merry elm
gusty talon
#

nah

#

too much details

#

and your right

#

not so much logic

merry elm
#

and out of these, which do yall think is best for a sand background?

alpine burrow
#

in order: top, third to last, second to last

merry elm
#

this is with 2nd to last

#

is it too yellow or is it good?

alpine burrow
#

oddly enough i think it's too green

merry elm
#

too green?

alpine burrow
#

if THAT'S what you're using it for then maybe the last one truly is better

#

yeah it looks yellowish green

merry elm
#

this too yellow?

alpine burrow
#

hmmm no that looks fine

#

it's like wet sand on the beach

merry elm
#

annd should i expose the background there or cover it up a bit more?

alpine burrow
#

i mean i think it's fine

lament briar
merry elm
#

does more scattered walls back there make it look better or worse?

merry elm
#

and well, trying a more stone arch like stonehenge

but i need this to look more natural

Is there a way to make a one-way pressure plate (once stepped on can never be stepped on again, and no, I'm not talking about the one that breaks when you step on it)?

gleaming dove
#

Stumbled upon a method (ignore all the actuated blocks)

#

If you actuate all the blocks around the plate, it effectively becomes a one-time-use plate, as long as noone breaks the blocks around it
