terraria-creations

[tawdry flare]

i believe so yeah

[marsh nebula]

So this is less a creation so far more a big project I want help with
I'm gonna be makin a Terraria-based series on YouTube and I have no clue what I'm doing

[dense sparrow]

I like. Very spring-y

[urban burrow]

large rod of discord

[cobalt mountain]

why is my base kinda fire...

the middle building's roof looks dumb, i thickened it up a bit and it looks better now lol

[fiery roost]

I just wanted to mention I loved this thing because you used Harpy Blocks as shingles.

[near mango]

good roof block, when i saw it in the trailer i already immediately planned on using it from time to time as a roof tile as the texture is great for that

plus it is plenty colourful too

[past sluice]

how do i improve this build?

[exotic parrot]

Small desert build

Barely a difference but I decided to make those central weird pillar things on the roof of the side towers a block higher, thought it looked a little better.

[cosmic echo]

a plane

[past sluice]

How would a plane improve it?

[cosmic echo]

just trust me

[past sluice]

I dunno how to add a plane

[cosmic echo]

you got this👍

[vital geyser]

With the plane guy here

Would go hard

[static palm]

Moonlord

[fiery roost]

I agree with the plane suggestion

(guys, we can be a little more specific when asking for "how to improve something", like, mentioning what bothers you in the first place)

[signal dawn]

COOKING RIGHT NOW, need to add the boss drops, but the vibe is W

[thin topaz]

Sickk

[sour raven]

thats huge actually

[tender flower]

Im working on a pretty big build so it doesn’t fit all on screen. Is there a way to zoom out for a picture without mods?

[tawdry flare]

there is the pin frame tool but that always messes with the background

[tender flower]

That works! Thanks :)

[shell violet]

What are the chances I don’t fuck up

[fresh lantern]

Really small build but i made a tiny watchtower on a tree. Demon eyes would NOT stop attacking me while building this though

[radiant loom]

the demon eye builder harassment never ends bro

[fresh lantern]

I made a little thing for my forest pylon

[radiant loom]

ive seen a tree like that before...

in an old adventure map

[exotic parrot]

Juh 🥀

[exotic parrot]

Hi cinny!

[crisp plover]

yo @exotic oracle don't I recognise you from somewhere?

[radiant loom]

what upp

[exotic parrot]

Nothing much

just placing and removing blocks at a slightly more intricate level

[radiant loom]

that window is dope

[radiant loom]

lol fr

jungle sunsets are so vibey

[exotic oracle]

ahh yes

you can see mutual servers w someone, hi neighbor

[crisp plover]

👋

[tawdry flare]

this is sick, i especially like the pillar on the right holding up the room

[exotic parrot]

ty!

honestly the pillar was a last minute choice because I couldn’t figure out what else I could put under there that wouldn’t look a bit off

[fresh lantern]

I love pillars integrated into builds 🔥

Adding a pillar to a build is like adding a cherry onto a cake

True statement or am I not Socrates????

[tawdry flare]

i'd post some of my pillars but , no perms

[raven prism]

I can for you if you'd like

[tawdry flare]

i'd appreciate that :D

[raven prism]

Just DM me it rq

Pillars made by @tawdry flare

[tawdry flare]

i'm okay and building the exterior of houses but dang do i suck at interior, idk how to furnish

[raven prism]

Same lmao

[exotic parrot]

I like how the in game weather constantly throws storms my way every time I start building

[winter bear]

started making some boss pedestals, think they came out well

https://imgur.com/a/qV0W6EE

[drowsy cliff]

its not mutch but this is my first time putting effort into makeing things look somewhat nice

[patent karma]

right? I know I'm not the best builder, but must the sky weep and rage at my attempts?

[shell violet]

Pretty clean,

Plz pretty plz give the crane a counter weight

[vagrant steeple]

@rugged wedge u aight cuh?

[lament briar]

This looks really good... Are you planning on doing one for each boss?

[lament briar]

Do you plan on updating these later when you get more materials?

[radiant loom]

its like adding a plate under the cake

[winter bear]

lol i completely forgot those existed i will, thank you

[winter bear]

planning on it, but some bosses might be difficult, i’m struggling coming up with ideas for them all

[winter bear]

mixing wall types can turn a build from a 6 to a 8. One of my favorite sets of walls is large bamboo walls painted brown for supports, wooden wall that runs between them, and ebonwood painted brown under that. I can show you an example if you wish.

[amber bough]

I cannot post images here so I'll just link this instead. I've been building this fella for a while now; I think it's my largest build so far, though I'll have to compare it to the airship I made a while ago
https://www.reddit.com/r/TerrariaDesign/comments/1srqrqt/not_sure_im_done_with_this/

Oh that thumbnail does not work well

I made an attempt to make every room somewhat functional and sensibly placed, and I tried using less-complicated wall/floor patterns which has stopped me in the past

[copper locust]

That looks so sick!! I think some floating islands around the castle with some smaller builds would really add some depth!

[full flame]

https://imgur.com/ncRCg1u

Not sure if I'll improve this later on, but here's a little temple (?) to everyones favortie (citation needed) boss, Ocram

[signal dawn]

working on the boss trophy room (trophies/drops come last) - QB not done yet, will go over again with extra detail, but this is the progress so far, let me know what y'all think 💚

[copper locust]

Those look so cool!!! very good!!

[drowsy cliff]

Yes

[proper ivy]

This was a good idea.

[rugged wedge]

yeah, just haven’t chatted here much. i cant stay up as late as i did before i moved.

[full flame]

Holy cow dude, this looks awesome!

Hell yea this is awesome

[digital flower]

Yoooo I have a picture of a build I’m trying to duplicate but I can’t figure out what kind of block one of them is. Can someone help?

[shadow heart]

https://imgur.com/a/07py0Bb

That's something I made today, It's a base for the rat transformation, and there's constant water flowing through the grates.

I also used the stone furniture since it's an underground base.

[digital flower]

That’s awesome!

[tawdry flare]

i really like the room shapes

[copper locust]

I never thought of a secret room only the rat coukd access! Thats a great idea! Looks sick to!

Ofc! I love your build :D

[feral kernel]

how do i get image perms?

[next fiber]

you have to give me 20$

every one who has ever posted an image here has given me 20$ for that right

[feral kernel]

I gave you 20 yesterday so where is my perms?

[next fiber]

mb

system error you gotta give me another 20$

or just give me the buidl and i can send it here

[shadow heart]

Just put the image through imgur if you want to send a picture without the Terrarian role.

Look in the bot commands for Terrarian role info.

Guys, can you give me tips to improve in construction?

[cosmic echo]

just use some photos of a house

[boreal mural]

I’m not a good builder but this is my best so far

[obtuse spear]

[winter bear]

get good at using platforms and different wall types. You can turn a box into a decent house just by adding some platforms in the corners and a good wall style.

It takes a bit of practice but some of my favorites are honey platforms and brass shelves.

[proper ivy]

Some more recent builds of mine.

[vital geyser]

That roof is great, what walls did you use please?

[proper ivy]

Crimstone Brick Wall with a mix of Lihzard platforms and Rich Mahogany platforms

[vital geyser]

Absolutely delicious combo

[merry elm]

hmm...so after finals im getting back to working on my hellbridge

but im still unsure if this is the sort of structure i should stick with. Again, mostly focusing on shape and baseline before adding block variety and detail/texturing

maybe i shouldnt judge a build by how it looks on a map, but its hard to get it all on camera to see

mostly around the bottom/foundation of it

i wanted to draw inspiration from...well, tower bridge, but with 1 tower at the beginning and it being a ritual site

or...i guess castle bridges may be a better comparison

tho not nearly this elaborate

but working out the foundation is hell logically for me

above it i know what i wanna do: A structural pillar holding up a lot of ash as if its supporting hell, a stained glass mural of the WOF, and a cage dangling above the sacrificial pit in case we run out of voodoo dolls

most lava builds i find online ignore foundations, so i dont have much reference to work off of

[sour raven]

technically progress

[alpine burrow]

oh wow very clever to use the ropes and empty spaces

[signal dawn]

I'm trying to make it look like a hand is coming out of the ground with a flat palm, about to hold something, any ideas to make it look more layered and 3dd

🫸 like this emoji, but going up

slight changes

[pine skiff]

Which country is this in?

[static reef]

Imma guess romania near the Caucasian mountains

Any geo guessers in chat

I meant the Caucasus mountains

Also those locations dont overlap

[runic cargo]

to me it looks kind of french/german in style. So maybe Luxembourg, lichtenstein or alces-loraine?

[cinder vortex]

Those look amazing! Well done

[signal dawn]

:D

[cinder vortex]

I look forward to seeing the rest of them

[cold halo]

I made some houses in a multiplayer run

[exotic parrot]

I like that cactus build, pretty cozy looking

[subtle sinew]

These look astonishing!
Perhaps Skeletron and Wall of Flesh are coming next?

[lament briar]

Lol those mountains... 🤣

[static reef]

I was kinda close

[lament briar]

No, you were, I just opened discord, and that made me giggle.

No judgment.

At this point in history, we have to deal with spell-check and auto-correct.

I can't wait until the future has to worry and deal with about robots and racism.

[native plover]

thats cool asl and even better cus ur mobile

[static reef]

People are already racist towards robots

🙂

[lament briar]

How can you tell if it's fear or racism?

[wise bane]

robots arent people bro

slime out all robots

they dont have feelings

[dense pivot]

Okay thats really cool

[raven prism]

ooooo

[merry elm]

waaaiiiit

i got a friend named skittles i play terraria with too

odd coinsidence

but damn...im STILL stuck on this foundation for my build, i dont know if its good enough

i dunno if i should terraform more for ash to surround the build or if i need a better shape...maybe im overthinking it since this is one of my biggest builds yet and i shouldnt worry about map appearance

Sora specifically took a while.

Finding the right colors so it looks perfect when viewing the map was very time consuming.

I would send smth but imgur not letting me make img🔥

[merry elm]

oooo

um...anyone have advice for foundations?

[unborn sorrel]

https://imgur.com/a/cqZtdUW

does anyone know anythng i can add to the interior of these to make them more diner like, painting and such?

[runic cargo]

stoves using black painted granite dressers and logic gates and switches painted black for the exhaust pipes. Fridge can be made by painting a librarian bookcase white. music boxes for ambiance. office lights for lighting work well. maybe gray painted granite lanterns.

[urban burrow]

i was wondeirng if this gem lock arrangement looked cool

[vital geyser]

Keep it simple, use undergrowth as inspiration for foliage

[vital geyser]

Looks like eyes in a square robot lol

[urban burrow]

holy shit i see it

that's hilarious but also i hate it

[vital geyser]

Definitely keep going with it, see where it goes!!

[signal dawn]

COOKING

[merry elm]

thing is...im making foundation in hell/in lava and ash

[merry elm]

indeed you are mate! If i had to give some suggestions, maybe add some don't starve-y stuff to the deerclopse one

like, his thing in the source material is coming on the night of day 30 and wrecking your base

no joke he'll prioritize your base over you, so maybe make a lil starter campsite around it?

so campfire, tent, some chests, that stuff

[vital geyser]

ok do that but in hell, with ash

swap green for red

(makes things hotter)

[merry elm]

this is what i got thusfar with it

its the start of the hellbridge

with a lil sarificial pit in the middle to throw voodoo dolls (or guides) into

just concerned with shape and logic for now, can add in details once the foundation is down

and the wall is gonna have a front facing WoF stained glass on it

[vital geyser]

kinda feels like youre doing too much thinky thinky and not enough buildy buildy

nomsayn

also open up the sacrifice pit to everyone, not just the guide

lets try to be more inclusive

[signal dawn]

tysm for the feedback. i'm getting all build first them going in with the crazy details stuff

[shell violet]

Aight you cool w feedback (just to be clear this nit picking, overall very nice builds)

Wof mouth could use a smidge more roundness, maybe the 2nd teeth (going L - R) could be brought in closer

For eow maybe try to find a more vertical textured block for his pincers, while ash wood looks really nice colour wise the orientation of its a bit off

So far the skeletron my favourite, very skull like skull especially with the web rope teeth, keep at it

It didn’t update the photo nar

These are the teeth I tried to talk about

[hybrid citrus]

reminds me of what wild lmao started doing with the boss sculptures

ofc these are way more detailed than his 😭

[signal dawn]

Yeah please nitpick lol, I want to improve

[radiant loom]

brain and king slime are my favorites for sure i love that crown

deerclops is a goofy boss but that face is immediately recognizable

[lunar spire]

Hello, can someone help me identify these blocks and platforms?

Oop i can't send a pic

https://imgur.com/a/XLgiQoh

[plucky zealot]

might be wrong but looks like honey and boreal wood platforms

[near mango]

honey platforms for sure, with brown paint. but the quality & lighting makes it a bit hard to tell what the other is, might frankly just be wood as it isn't so dark like boreal would be but i may be wrong/
then there's grates painted brown

[alpine burrow]

Meteor bricks?

[near mango]

no

those are grates like i already said lol

[urban burrow]

i feel the need to ask if i'm cooking with this

i just realised i'm missing a wall on the floor below the one with the star window i'mma go fix that

heres the fixed version

still gotta find demonite to make demonite bricks

[random spire]

nice build

[radiant loom]

im a boreal wood hater but the gem parts / windows are sweet

[proper ivy]

This is my old town I made during 1.1 days, back on PS3!

Obviously, I've added to it since then but everything has pretty much remained the same.

[urban burrow]

did i cook

[zealous needle]

truly

you have cooked

you should make the entirety of the underground from undertale now

[urban burrow]

hell no.

also thank you

[zealous needle]

ye :]

[urban burrow]

heres a midnight shot of the top of the spire

i didnt know demonite bricks glowed

i mean it kinda adds to the magic i guess but wow

[zealous needle]

damnnn

could you get one where the moon was shining thru the star window? thatd be pretty cool

[urban burrow]

i could try

idk if freecam is on mobile but i doubt it is so this is really only the best i could get it's so chopped lmao

[zealous needle]

it still looks fire dawg

[urban burrow]

definitely better at night rather than day

[zealous needle]

i see something very terrible when i remove the handles from my vision and i look at the map

i shouldnt have said anything abt it

[urban burrow]

tf is that supposed to mean

what are you seeing on the minimap

[zealous needle]

im NOT saying it

look full map

Threw up a quick beach house exterior. Anyone have any ideas or advice for the interior?

I like ashwood furniture painted brown. Looks like driftwood furniture.

and is less cliche than palmwood

bamboo works fine as well

I built this just barely but i feel like its missing something on the top half

But idk what

[vague cedar]

Why can’t I seed pics here?

[peak ferry]

Need a special role

[vague cedar]

How do I get it

I built this sphinx on my own, and on mobile. It took a few days to perfect everything, and I'm glad that way it turned out.

I tried to make it without a nose but it didn't look like a face, so that's why it has a nose.

https://i.imgur.com/g84JTOi.jpeg

Now this base is my endgame base in the same world as the sphinx, and I think it turned out good.

I like to put candles on the walls, and it makes the walls more detailed without using much paint.

[surreal furnace]

which window solution do ya'll like most?

[vital geyser]

This is a very cool idea, good job!

[prisma meadow]

i think the darker metal fence in the middle would fit the best

lead fence?

[surreal furnace]

Yeah, lead. Ended up choosing wooden fence (bottom right), as it was a tad dark with furniture. Also like to avoid lead due to its toxicity and also being a pain in the butt to manage. Can't mine or buy it, yet whenever I craft something using iron it defaults to using my very limited lead supply first. What the heck, Red?

[ebon patio]

the game starts using stuff beginning at the top left inventory space, so try hiding the lead bottom right

[surreal furnace]

Did that, still ran out of lead with more than 2 stacks of iron in front in the chest

[ebon patio]

huh? that's really odd

[surreal furnace]

I also shouldn't have to deal with that in an iron world. Even if sorting it worked, am I now unable to use the quicksort function for all time?

[digital meteor]

No shimmer?

[surreal furnace]

lead shimmers to iron, not the other way around. Iron items made with lead shimmer to iron, I think, but if that is wrong it would still only be useful if you are aware you made the item with lead

[digital meteor]

You can get lead by shimmering silver I believe

It is quite confusing, I'm not sure why they made it like that

[surreal furnace]

That's a lot of extra work for no reason. I am able to get lead if I need to. But I prefer alternatives

[digital meteor]

Well, fishing is usually the best option

Either way, I actually do like the top left fence you used

it looks the most like weathered bars, strangely

Oh I'd suggest also, you can use the rubblemaker with coins to make bags of coins

I think that'd look really good

[surreal furnace]

That's a great idea. Don't think I've actually used the rubblemaker before

[digital meteor]

It's really nice honestly, a great addition

when i can post images Ill show my builds with it

With wood you can place the old cobwebbed furniture from underground cabins

[runic cargo]

https://imgur.com/a/JywF2me an unplanned thing but I was experimenting with boulder block and using the mitey-titey and rubblemaker for the first time and the resulting natural cistern (as I call it) came out so well I just had to build a house around it.

[proper ivy]

For some reason those stone blocks blend really strange with the dirt around it.

[runic cargo]

I use x-ray vision seed and it unfortunately affects that. I forget to coat things with illumate stuff tocounter that

[merry elm]

so im still staring at this...should I do any more terraforming for the lower area?

like, its either i go with this, or maybe i make the whole area under the "tower" ash and have the lava pit inside the ash mountain

[merry elm]

...maybe i should just continue with the top part and see how it looks by the end

rather than obsessing about the foundation for now

[surreal furnace]

What are you going for?

[merry elm]

well, this is gonna be the beginning of a Hellbridge

my friend who had the original idea was thinking "pillar that looks like its holding up the world" in terms of structure

and the idea is there's a sacrifice pit in the middle to throw voodoo dolls into before starting the fight, making it a bit of a scene, ya know?

with a cage dangling overhead thats npc viable in case we run out of dolls

and i had the idea of a WOF stained glass on the wall

but the foundation is what im conflicted on

[surreal furnace]

Then I think it should either disappear into the lava or be really properly drilled down in something extremely solid

[merry elm]

well that 2nd approach is what i was trying for here, what do you think?

i attempted the first approach and...well,

tho i could replace the whole bottom with ash and carve in the lava chamber from there...

[surreal furnace]

I think it's fine, but doesn't blow me away. If there's a way to make it more gradual it'd be sick

[merry elm]

gradual...?

[surreal furnace]

Yeah like the right pillar fades into the lava instead of 1 0

[merry elm]

well, this whole thing is one pillar

one hollowed out structure

like if it was 3d, it'd be more like a tube or castle tower

like i was trying to draw inspiration from Tower Bridge

[surreal furnace]

I see. Then I don't really like the right edge being gone.

[merry elm]

yeah i didnt either

i was also thinking stuff more akin to this

but more...well, pillar

[surreal furnace]

Maybe columns between the edges all the way down could be cool, if you're able to get the look right

[merry elm]

i see what ya mean

like i guess i was thinking of trying to get the overall shape down first, then doing detail

well, shape and terraforming/terrain

tho...maybe the walls should be thicker? maybe i could do more with that right side ash? idk

and ive been staring at this thing for so long idk what is "good" anymore and feel i need fresh eyes

[surreal furnace]

Based on current position and look, the ash on the right got there after the tower was built, blown in, floated in, or something like that. So as long as the shape fits that, I think it'll be good

[merry elm]

well, i was thinking more it was there beforehand, because...well, ash in this place feels like its more trying to replace basalt

[surreal furnace]

Then there's too little of it in my mind. Try adding a little more, especially into the lava and see if you like it.

[merry elm]

like...i wanna give this whole thing a sound foundation, im not sure if that ash should be there in the first place

like i know what i have rn feels off, but i dont know what i can do due to lack of references

[merry elm]

but should i surround the structure in ash, or you think i should leave that side open?

and believe me, ive been trying to find refs, but everything is on stilts or hangs from the ceiling

[merry elm]

tho...maybe i should make the bottom more outwards than the structure on top?

i wish i could get better screenshots but the build is a bit too big

oh wait figured out how to use the camera mode

so i guess i should judge the build off of this, not the map

also...draining and refilling the lava to test out stuff is H E L L

[merry elm]

i do like that imagery tho

maybe i should redo the whole foundation to be ash with a lava pit within?

like these are the main things i see in terms of "foundation"

[surreal furnace]

First pass at a boat. Possibly used someone on here's boat as reference

[merry elm]

id reccomend looking at irl boat schematics, but i will say the mast is a bit thin

[surreal furnace]

This is gonna be a quickie, so I'll cheat a little, but I will try and upgrade some parts as I go

Anyone have an idea for a capstan?

[alpine burrow]

ooffff

uhmmm

[merry elm]

you wanna be able to walk through it?

[alpine burrow]

maybe some trickery with a fence and platforms?

[merry elm]

try a living wood wall, platforms for the handles, maybe some mahogany or boreal beams for the bottom

[surreal furnace]

not important

Does pine table work?

[alpine burrow]

oh my good lord that looks good

it does really give it that screw look

[surreal furnace]

I really like the table itself, but the pegs or whatever you call em, can be better

[merry elm]

yeah, dont use that platform

use maybe boreal

[surreal furnace]

yeah I have already swapped to boreal. Tried spooky as well. Both much better, but there will always be that gap

I'll probably just live with it for now

[merry elm]

could use background wall

full in that spot

[surreal furnace]

yeah maybe

brown actuated mahogony maybe

[merry elm]

but yeah...maybe i need to start the foundation from scratch

[surreal furnace]

I'm a big believer in throwing spaghetti and seeing what sticks

[merry elm]

mhm, and i would do that more

but...lava

but i guess before i commit to draining this whole lava pit, i should decide on a route\

[turbid mica]

Do dry bombs work on lava?

[merry elm]

I forget, but I can always use lava sponge or the coin trick

[slow dew]

yes

[turbid mica]

Well there you go

Although that does require lava fishing

[raven prism]

Doesn't the demolitionist sell wet/dry bombs while you have any in your inventory?
Most likely does

[turbid mica]

You still need to lava fish to get at least one to start

[raven prism]

That's still not hard to do tho realistically

[dense pivot]

Catch some firey critters and fish with crate pots

[surreal furnace]

Stone and pine table both are really great as a capstan. Which one you scallywags prefer?

[patent karma]

1st one, the 2nd looks too much like just a table

[alpine burrow]

2nd one it has a screw thingie

[merry elm]

first

[surreal furnace]

I forgot to paint the pine one. This is how it's supposed to look like

[merry elm]

bweh...im creatively stuck

[surreal furnace]

A lot of small improvements can be made everywhere, but I'll check this pylon as done

[radiant loom]

cannonball/armory area looks sweeet

ash wood furniture too

[vestal sequoia]

Legit one of the coolest things I've seen

[sour raven]

martian clocks make for good things to attatch signs to

or at least they might

i might fool around with it somewhere else but i like it on the pole here

slowly

[hushed badge]

what's this bellow the bamboo fence

also this next to the painting

[near mango]

critter anchor, painted gray

you can see the many birds above (i assume a few are out of pic)

each anchor tied to a bird

[hushed badge]

that does explain it

[teal sage]

im cooked chat

[hushed badge]

What's the bright red wall used for the middle black circle hole

[teal sage]

aquarium wall with red paint

[teal sage]

Iron lung map

wip

[uncut granite]

You're gonna paint the fences right

[sour raven]

martian clock

[sour raven]

so many are out of pic its insanely bird filled 😔

[junior ridge]

Currently planning out my Ultrakill-style hellevator. (Screenshot from Ultrakill included for reference)
The right side has the background made from boreal wood and the left is made from tin plating, both painted white.
Which side looks better to yall?

To me, the boreal wood more closely matches the texture, but something about it makes it look less.. metallic. Meanwhile the tin plating has the exact opposite problem.

[sour raven]

probably the right side, maybe consider something like dynasty walls

blue ones painted gray maybe

[junior ridge]

I'll give that a try if the peddler ever decides to sell some lol

[junior ridge]

Update: how does this look?

[surreal furnace]

Looks really good

[surreal furnace]

Desert pylon nearly done

[hollow bison]

I forgot that sunflowers cancel out crimson lol

nice

[clear saffron]

What are the iron looking blocks on the hull of the sub, also whats the floor block u used?

[radiant loom]

tin plating and iron bricks @clear saffron

[surreal furnace]

Yeah allows for some fun builds

[teal sage]

The floor block is iron bricks.

[cerulean pivot]

huh its been a year and like 3 months since i posted smth in this channel

well, on my new acc i havent sent anything at all but ykwim

right should probably tell mods about that

[merry elm]

oooo fun

[undone mesa]

Try making the red out of tin and the white out of boreal wood

Nevermind im late on that

[violet trellis]

tried making a tower, i think it looks decent

[dark kraken]

no

[vestal sequoia]

Aww

It's kinda dark though. Hard to see

[alpine burrow]

i think it looks neat you could work on some details tho

i mean you JUST started

Here's a chunk of my building world. map view.

Here's my church + graveyard.

One of my jungle builds. Basically, a mountain that has a bridge that connects to a sky island.

[clear saffron]

Thanks

[shadow heart]

How do you do the farther screenshots?

[slow dew]

capture tool

[shadow heart]

Oh, I honestly forgot about that.

I always just did screenshots, I forgot about the capture tools.

[rugged wedge]

there’s a small issue with capture tool where it doesn’t show water fountain colors 😓

[vestal sequoia]

Holy shit! I try to think of something else to say but that's all I got

[proper ivy]

The catacombs below required the most detail

[proper ivy]

Is that a middle finger on the right 😂

[timid tiger]

[fiery roost]

Absolutely amazing.

[full glacier]

Thanks

[ebon zodiac]

That dragon is really cool

I like the use of rubys for the scales

[safe acorn]

Can someone send me pictures of jungle pylon constructions so I can get inspired?

[proper ivy]

Should do a pixel art of Skeletron giving the finger

[wise bane]

yes bro 🥹 replace the chlorophyte guy with a pylon

[proper ivy]

Here's my mansion I made back during 1.1. I've made some changes to it since then, but the overall design remains the same.

One of my first builds in my world.

A very cozy build.

[quiet notch]

very nice :) the gold dragons look really cool

[vital geyser]

Thought about replicating it but with the new blocks and techniques?

[wise bane]

great shape, try texturing it and adding supports

[proper ivy]

Yes, but haven't gotten around to it. I have more I want to do with that world first.

[icy linden]

Hello guys this is Aubeschild. I want to present you my project: The Burkshire Continent. Soon after I finished with the worlds, I will upload this worlds as a series.

https://imgur.com/a/yl37DyI

[proper ivy]

Very nice!

[icy linden]

Thanks! I hope you like it

[proper ivy]

Looks like an old European town.

[icy linden]

The building was based on Gothic Architecture, inspired by old buildings in Europe, especially England.

[vital geyser]

Yeh love this very cool

[icy linden]

Thank you very much! Soon I will share more of my project here on the Discord.

[vital geyser]

Never seen a chimney done like this before its so nice

[merry elm]

im freeeee

finally i can go to finishing up my builds

...if i can ever decide what i wanna do with it

[merry elm]

maybe i can do a smaller build for now...

could i ask for ideas/suggestions for what to do about my pyramids? I have 4 of them and rn there's just 4 holes in my deserts out in the open i feel i should do something with

[merry elm]

like...i believe in my building skills, its just coming up with the idea that i struggle with

i feel like i need a better vision of what i wanna build

like, ive got 4 of these

and no clue what to do for em at all

[static reef]

4 pyramids in one world is impressive

[merry elm]

ye, i was seed hunting a few days after 1.4.5 released

and then found this while genning worlds, left it for 2 weeks to forget the map, then decided to play it with friends

[static reef]

You could build a pyramid on the surface and just have a tunnel down to connect to the world gen pyramid and underground desert

[merry elm]

again, i have 4 of these, all with a hole on the surface

and none of em are in the "Main" Desert

[static reef]

Well to be frank, using world generated structures as the primary point of a build is kinda lame

Its a lot more interesting to make a pyramid of your own

[merry elm]

its not using them for a custom build from the ground up, more...well, taking something that's already there and making it pretty

because right now all 4 are just kinda sitting there with gaping holes

and it feels wrong to just leave em like they are

[static reef]

Ig you can clear out the desert that is covering them so a substantial part is above the surface and then build into it

[merry elm]

i guess a pic of the world for refference would help

[static reef]

Ik what a buried pyramid looks like

[merry elm]

yeah, but so many of em so spread out

[static reef]

Theres not much you can do with em if you dont un cover them

[runic cargo]

speaking of worldbuilding, I've been building worlds combining drunk and I am error looking for weirdness to give me ideas. and you find pyramids in the darndest places. Intersecting the dungeon, in the underworld, in the branches of living trees.

[merry elm]

yeah, fair, but most are so deep that there wouldnt be any desert left

it'd just be digging a big hole

[static reef]

Thats why I was sayn to build a pyramid on the surface

[merry elm]

so id have a pyramid on top of another pyramid

[static reef]

Or build a pyramid in the main desert and build sphinxes on the other pyramids

[merry elm]

that would be cool

like...i guess im more trying to think of what to do with them. I could just ignore em, rebury them, mine them out completely...but that in part feels kinda wrong to me, idk

[static reef]

Its more interesting to make a build in its own right instead of making a build off of a generated structure

With the exception of living trees

[merry elm]

i mean yeah its fun

but i feel like i gotta do something with it rather than just leaving the gaping holes there

[static reef]

There is literally nothing special about them

[merry elm]

i mean id call 4 pyramids in 1 world special

[static reef]

If the world only had one this wouldn't be anything

[static reef]

Abnormal

Idk if you REALLY want to do something with them then go ahead no one is gonna stop you

[merry elm]

i mean...i just wanna do something with those entrances/holes

[static reef]

Its arguably the lest interesting generated structure

[merry elm]

aka, the part people will see when running through the world

[static reef]

Put a sphinx or temple entrance on top of em

[runic cargo]

make the surface around it look like an archeological dig

[static reef]

I was thinking of that, but they are really deep

[merry elm]

originally i was thinking of a mineshaft sort of thing for each one, but then i realized i didnt know any designs that could work for sand

[static reef]

Hardened sand

[merry elm]

and pics of irl dig sites in deserts just end up looking like...well

hole

not much interesting scaffolding

[static reef]

Look up gobekli tepe

[merry elm]

?

[static reef]

Theres some with a canopy on it

[static reef]

Ye

[merry elm]

but yeah, closest irl parallel i can find is well...this

[static reef]

Yea thats literally what archeological is, just digging a hole

[merry elm]

fair, but i mean for a more interesting build structure

[surreal furnace]

One for treasure and riches. One for burial. One for battle or expedition (fending of the evil, or conquering some hostile environment)

[merry elm]

i guess first i should decide...should these be uncovered via archeology, or should they have an "intentional" entrance at the top

what story do i wanna tell

[surreal furnace]

Aliens

[merry elm]

i could do just a towering stairwell that pokes out the top with a different egyptian god head on each one

Ra, Anubis, Bastet, Thoth

[merry elm]

and that is a fun idea...

like...again, i mainly care about the entrance to these pyramids

[surreal furnace]

Digging out hints about the moonlord, cultists and/or martians would be cool, or just generic aliens too I guess.

The battle between Ra and Apip buried, or stuff like that also cool concepts but I think much harder to make

[merry elm]

i...think you're overthinking this'

im just looking for a way to make these holes in the ground pretty and not an eyesore

like...archeological site is cool, though i dont know how id make it work for this context

[vital geyser]

Lmfao holy

[prime valley]

this should b either a meme or a reaction image

[merry elm]

i mean...i guess this is good enough for now, though i could also add onto this. I’m open to suggestions

[vast cloud]

Does anyone have any early game storage room designs? - trying hard to stay on top of my storage management lol

[exotic harness]

This is what my pyramid entrance looks like if you wanna use some of this

[merry elm]

This!!! this is the kind of stuff ive been looking for!

also love the mix of rope and vines

i should try some of that

[left timber]

Hi friends! I’m trying to make a cool church/cathedral build. What’s the best biome and blocks to use here? I’m leaning towards the Hollow and a grey theme

[merry elm]

well, for a church, try looking at IRL for inspiration

and either hallow or honestly tundra id reccomend

[left timber]

👍 👍

[fossil moon]

I just found out this channel exists so....
Second image isn't done yet

[runic cargo]

man that custom tree is top notch. That chimney is too. How'd you do the top part of the window frame in the forest house?

[queen belfry]

if you mean the yellow window it seems it uses dynasty shingles hammered + actuators and mahogany pillars along with planter boxes

background seems like walls idk which one

[cold halo]

Currently making a golden castle and I wanna know what I should add to it before I get too far into it

[vestal sequoia]

My style has stagnated if u can't tell. I need some ideas on how to advance my builds. Any suggestions would be great

[radiant loom]

move on from rectangles

beneath the floor foundations would help out, and using wall detailing would improve massively

what i mean by that is, floor trim, pillar-like walls on the ends...

examples from an old build of mine

i dont have a foundation here, but i did mix up the walls to create pillars and rafters and beams

some time spent looking at houses and structures in real life (victorian or gothic buildings are cool) will give you an idea of how to shape your builds and do the roofs... like cutting a slice out of them

[vestal sequoia]

Pretty 😍

Question. Do you do the outline first or do you consider the rooms you are gonna build first

[vestal sequoia]

Thank you for your input. Much appreciated...I swear English is my first language

[radiant loom]

most people plan and then do outline and then replace template blocks / add wells

i wing it but yeah i do the blocks first then walls then furniture

[vestal sequoia]

Thank you. So gotta lose the box constraint my mind is confined to. Blending is something I never do. Most of the time I build with utility in mind and decor comes after but now I'm done I want to spice it up more. The game allows me to build what I want. Just got to truly envision and build it

I'm just easily satisfied I guess and move on quickly. Building that is 😊

Guys, i know you don't know me. I just want to ask some favor if u do, i need some wall designs is like mechanical

Thank you

Designs like laboratory walls or made of copper plating or futuristic

[vestal sequoia]

Lumintie bricks

[atomic palm]

I mean i need wall designs for it

[safe acorn]

Can someone send me pictures of pylon constructions so I can get inspired?

[vestal sequoia]

Maybe do something with wiring and pipes. U can use like beams and paint them to look like wire pipes and run into some sort of machine contraption

[atomic palm]

Thank you for that idea

[summer kettle]

[icy linden]

Try using Purple Rain Wallpaper that you can buy from the Painter and paint it gray so it looks like chainlink wall and try mix it with Copper Plating Wall. Also try using blocks that actuated for adding dimensions or details to the walls like for doors or something.

[fossil moon]

ground floor of my arena

[fossil moon]

i don't think im running out of arena space

[merry elm]

niiice

[merry elm]

but yeah, should i leave these as is, or should i put a structure on top of em?

[merry elm]

and im def saving that scafold design, i needed some of those

[queen belfry]

The house ain't gonna start walking bru- OH MY GOD

[cinder ivy]

I tried my best to capture all the details while reducing the building's size to a similar proportion to the characters in the game. Thank you for your recognition of my work!

[wise bane]

dudeee how do u make those roots wrapping around the stone pillars

[cinder ivy]

Green moss walls painted orange to resemble vines are used, and the effect of these vines climbing the building is achieved by covering the walls with blocks of material.

[static palm]

Can we get a tutorial on this

[cinder ivy]

It's a bit complicated to explain, but you can follow me on Bilibili. Searching for the Chinese characters in my name will bring up my channel. I'll post any tutorials I create there later. There are also many other tutorials available for reference.

[fiery roost]

That is REALLY, REALLY good! The way you used shadow walls to convey depth was great! Congratulations

Seeing all these builds here makes me feel like my builds are a joke

https://imgur.com/a/jOdsAyF

[radiant loom]

dont feel that way 😔 mine used to be way worse lol. asking questions and learning from experts goes a long way

[full flame]

Well..How would you suggest improvement?

[radiant loom]

a room that big either needs to have a reason to have that much space, or be shrunk a lil bit

if you were to hang stuff from the ceiling, like chains holding up something, it would give that purpose

but also its super rectangular, i would consider adding arches in the corners or smth

[queen belfry]

the walls seem a little bland atleast to me

maybe add some variation

[runic cargo]

there's some good tutorials on youtube about building. vary walls and textures

[queen belfry]

yeaaa

[runic cargo]

add thickness to walls and floors

[queen belfry]

add 500 books because that's the way of a good build fr fr

Main tip is to not be afraid to experiment

after all, all you need to do if it doesn't look good is mine it

[full flame]

Know any good ones for that?

[runic cargo]

https://youtu.be/0RtIduEOSd0 this one got me started. Look up Khaois. He has a ton of good specific tutorials

[full flame]

thanks!

[cinder ivy]

I'd like to ask everyone, which platform do you recommend most for showcasing your architecture? Reddit? Instagram? Discord? Or something else?

[tropic stone]

random destroyer probe i decided to make

might add fire at the other side i unno

[shell violet]

This looks badass -
as for fire id say no (without seeing what you’re imagining, just what I’m imagining) fires not particularly futuristic looking and might take away from the rest of the design

[tropic stone]

yeah, my main "idea" of sorts is exo mechs from calamity but like a beta/prototype

[merry elm]

hmmm...i still feel stumped about my build stuff, like i have a couple ideas and concepts, but im not sure which ones to try or how i should execute it...i know thats very vague, but this is always the hardest part for me

once i get a vision of what i wanna build, it kinda comes naturally from there and i get into that flow

anyone else like that?

and i know i do more asking here than building, but i just feel that the ideas are bouncing in my head like the dvd screensaver logo

and not really able to become anything just yet

[merry elm]

...but yeah im back to the hell build

and i am dead stuck on how to do this foundation/ground portion

[surreal furnace]

I feel like this is just an awesome building area, but I don't know what to do with it. Any ideas?

[merry elm]

mangroves

[surreal furnace]

Forgot to post the furnished version of my desert pylon

[merry elm]

waaiiit

what collumns are those

[surreal furnace]

sandstone from smooth sandstone. Black painted marble for the fishing post.

made a small update on this as I hadn't seen it in daylight before now. Classic.

[merry elm]

hmm...i think i got a bit of a wave of inspiration

who has good scaffold designs?

[shell violet]

Your probe feels closer to terraria then exo meds do

[tropic stone]

kind of the point, considering in calamity lore the vanilla mechs are draedons creations too, so my sprites are like in between exomech and vanilla mech

[merry elm]

ok, here's something i was experimenting with

[hushed badge]

looks oddly close to my outfit

[merry elm]

but yeah, how is this for a pyramid entrance thusfar? Too much? not enough?

i guess im still struggling for what i want this to look like by the end

[quick furnace]

i finished my summoner challenge run (once i kill a boss i can't use that minion anymore).

here is my trophy shrine

also i never used wings

[dense pivot]

Ooh I like that

[merry elm]

thanks, though it still feels like its missing stuff...

like i have no clue what to do for the top

maybe it needs a pully or crane?

[tropic stone]

i feel like maybe greenery would help with the marble build

[quick furnace]

a pully is always a nice choice

[merry elm]

but what kind...

maybe i just need references

[quick furnace]

not a ton of circles in this block game....

[merry elm]

there's "close enough"

and its less shapes and more structure im stuck on

So, how do I turn this into an Alchemy Lab?
I wanna be able to include the Alchemy Flask, Alchemy Table, Bewitching Table, some Books, Bookshelves, & Library Platforms in this room, and it can be as cramped as needed, but no matter what I try Idk how to make it look good.
Any Tips? I've tried different window designs but the only one that comes close to adequate is Granite Table on Library Platforms, in front of Black-Painted Iron Fence. Idek what the walls should be, let alone what color.

[static reef]

Well a good start is to just place the objects in the world

[late kestrel]

That's the thing, Idk where I want them placed, or if any of them should be elevated by platforms

[static reef]

Just start placing

Its not like you can't break the crafting stations?

[late kestrel]

true, I've been experiencing a creative block so when I do place them down I still can't visualize the rest of the interior, I guess it's stress from having to move.

[static reef]

Bro just relax, moving furniture in terraria should not induce stress

[late kestrel]

I literally JUST NOW unlocked terrarian role.

[static reef]

Nice

[late kestrel]

(Having to move IRL)

I'll port the PNGs into the image I was editing & shift things around.

[static reef]

Or just do it in game

Less work

Instant results

[late kestrel]

Still don't know where I should put them.

[runic cargo]

there's some cool decorating going on here

[late kestrel]

There's an Echo-Painted Cooking Pot sitting on the Library Platforms above the fridge so you can still cook foods in the kitchen.

Thats actually pretty cool

[rugged wedge]

im making a hobbit house town. im not too proud of this layout, anyone have any ideas

maybe i could push everything past the blue to the left and extend the red a bit? im planning on putting a house up on the hill.

i also want a house on the right of the lake (and a lake). maybe i could just kinda extend everything?

[rugged wedge]

i do kinda like the top of the hill here not being extended so the house kinda is hidden a little more by the hill.

this was kinda the original plan i had drawn. i’m still not too happy with this general shape either tho

i’d say i want the lake design to kinda be like this build by rykko where it’s basically attached to the house itself (pinging to get your opinion on this since youre the master)

[junior ridge]

Update: I've got the tunnel done!

Now I've gotta do the ends of it

[cold halo]

I recently came back into building and tried making a golden castle(still not finished) with hallowed bricks, fallen star blocks and gold brick and I wanted to see suggestions on how to make it better

I think I went a bit too ambitious with it

[alpine burrow]

i love that metal texture of the boreal and plating

[vestal sequoia]

Anyone got any cool bridge designs to share? Mine not cool just adding a picture to the question lol

[hallow surge]

British tunnel

[rugged wedge]

you could just copy like a real life bridge

like a suspension bridge

[alpine burrow]

isn't that a little too modern? roman acqueducts could work

[radiant loom]

YEAHHHHHHH

do it

im making a hobbit hole irl

[rugged wedge]

i mean, thats their call if its too modern but

[alpine burrow]

i was judging from the blocks and fences they used

[rugged wedge]

this for reference

or this maybe

[rugged wedge]

i would at least say you should push the right pillar up a bit. id say it looks weird being so tall and thin.

this here is thin and probably goes down deep, BUT it has a wider platform its sitting on

i couldnt find a good picture of a brick bridge that is tall and thin sadly

[vestal sequoia]

That one is pretty

[rugged wedge]

this is a like 2 minute attempt at it, im sure you could refine it more if you spent more time on it. also its def not as big as yours needs to be

[vestal sequoia]

Thank you for the effort. I'll take what you said into great consideration.

[rugged wedge]

id say one of the best tips is to try to make your builds look like they are possible to exist irl

like this is one of my builds that i should work on (tho the world got lost so...), it def needed some work. the walls should be thicker so it looks like they can actually hold up the desert on top.

[vestal sequoia]

See I can't build an aesthetic like build. All my builds are just put together with utility in mind. Then I just decorate just because. I wish I could build something natural looking

And the problem always is that they stand out like cartoons.

Never natural looking

[rugged wedge]

i mean, building takes time to be good at. i still feel like i kinda suck sometimes. i would recommend to use references, either terraria or irl. it can really help push your builds to look a lot better.

[rugged wedge]

i have an idea for the activity today but i dont know how to build a city at all :/

i was talking about my plans for a hobbit house town

youre the hobbit house master

[karmic blaze]

fair enough I mean the idea seems nice what will the house shape be tho?

[rugged wedge]

lowk havent thought that far. i should if i want the lake to be kinda connected to the house. i would like more houses but idk how i could do it. i mean, i should probably extend out to the right most likely.

[karmic blaze]

you could always make the lake bigger and have a house in the middle and houses in the sides

[subtle sinew]

nice build brotato

[cold halo]

Im trying to make a witches house and I really don't know what to do for the decor (the rest of the build is still a wip) any help?

[fiery roost]

Oh my god, this is so well done! Can you leave the thing if you teleport to the Pylon? It looks REALLY, REALLY good!

The fact people are asking which blocks are those is evidence on how amazing the detail on this is!

Also, have you guys seen the State of the Game? That tree is amazing, love how much depth it has

[cinder ivy]

Sorry, I just placed the pylon here for decoration, it doesn’t actually work as a teleport ye

[cinder ivy]

Thanks so much for loving my build

[cinder ivy]

Oh, I haven’t gotten to see it yet! Would you happen to have some pictures?

[cinder ivy]

I feel the exterior decorations around a haunted house really make the vibe, like dead trees and other spooky details.

[cold halo]

I see

What is the best wood for a dead tree? Spooky wood?

I would assume you would want a rough texture for a dead tree

[cinder ivy]

Life Redwood Painting

[cold halo]

I searched it up and this came up, is this what you mean?

[cinder ivy]

It would be really hard to make a tree like that in Terraria, and it might not even look good. Maybe you can take inspiration from real-life dead trees instead

[cold halo]

I see, thank you for the help

[queen belfry]

looks really good

[queen belfry]

only part I could say something about is the disconnect in walls on the ground level rooms

[old dew]

I ran out of silt

[queen belfry]

oh lmao

[old dew]

[full glacier]

Old statue build (ignore hand)

[radiant loom]

which hand do i ignore

[full glacier]

All of the floating ones

[radiant loom]

got it lol

sweet i love the creeping moss

[cinder ivy]

Where can I contact this author? I'd like to make friends with him.

[fiery roost]

I have no idea! Sorry about that, I even tried typing their name in here but no result.

[cinder ivy]

It's okay, whatever the outcome, thank you！

[dense pivot]

Eternia crystal as a crown is so neat

[full glacier]

I tried so many furniture and none are centered so I picked it lol

[dense pivot]

Its cool!

[full glacier]

I'm leared alot from bluejay T

[vagrant steeple]

shits doing a 67 emote

[full glacier]

How did you know 😭

[vagrant steeple]

I can tell from the bottom of the blocks

[prisma meadow]

neat

[brittle night]

This armor always looked so stupid to me, but this is dope.

[sour raven]

progress

[sour raven]

final (second) one before i go to sleep

gonna have some building in the style of these ones to the right of the pagoda, with the elevator shaft acting as a right-most wall

and thats probably where i call the scene

[blazing sentinel]

so sick

[sour raven]

ty ty

(i still always get the urge to call you by your name whenever i talk to you btw)

been a couple years it could like, stop being an urge whenever i talk to you

possibly i have a tree and some more neons and a wire pole on the right of the elevator and then call it there

[rugged wedge]

kinda already asked how do you build cities so well?

[sour raven]

because i dont exactly know how to stop

[rugged wedge]

i guess i havent specifically tried and gotten too farm but its more because i feel like itll just look horrible

[sour raven]

honestly ive been building in this style since around 2020 so uh i dont really know how to answer but i just end up doing random stuff tbh

like, i pick out a shape

in these cases its just rectangles with some things jutting out

jotting out?

whatever

and i then like, detail it with as many paintings as i can or otherwise as many things that kinda look like windows or lights or anything as i can

[blazing sentinel]

lmao nw

[sour raven]

i could probably go more into detail if i like, do a more step by step description of my thoughts when im building whatever i put there

[rugged wedge]

maybe my issue is that its too irregular?

[sour raven]

its really just a lot of experience + references and just making shit up and trying it

[sour raven]

hm? wdym

[rugged wedge]

like its all a bunch of rectangles and flat colors

which i guess most houses are that too

like this one is kinda just a bunch of rectangles for the interior

[sour raven]

yeah its a lot of rectangular shapes to give the vibe of city buildings and a lot of paintings or other glowy things to cover up the space in a way that looks like a bit cyberpunky

[sour raven]

okay theres a lot of cool shit here im definetly borrowing

[rugged wedge]

the roof is something i took from pie. they have a lot better roofs than that

[sour raven]

that cloud lantern, gelatin crystal flask, and that jelly sink

very cool

[rugged wedge]

heres a more complete version of it

[hushed badge]

Wish I could start porting my personal sort of project additions to Terraria

but I must first ensure that the base stuff for it are covered code wise

[rugged wedge]

the house didnt change too much

i guess the roof changed a bit

[sour raven]

most of these are bad and old but these and the one i just sent before are the cyberpunk things ive got on this world

so like its a lot of time spent trying to learn it

[crude pagoda]

No 7/11?

[rugged wedge]

this is a nice banner

[rugged wedge]

like at least 2 strip clubs lol

[crude pagoda]

I hate angry dandelions

[sour raven]

i dont think i have those where i live 😔

[sour raven]

well yeah its cyberpunk lmao

[rugged wedge]

fair fair

[sour raven]

this is one from another world

[crude pagoda]

Really??? Damn

[rugged wedge]

the main political thing with cyberpunk is that the commodities become more common

that would very much include strip clubs

[sour raven]

and these are also from another world ive got easy access to

theres some nice ideas

[rugged wedge]

anything to keep the proletariats quiet

[sour raven]

so yeah its just a lot of years of trying to learn the style and a while of figuring it out once again more recently

[rugged wedge]

sadly i dont currently have motives to build a city but if i do ill keep this in mind

[sour raven]

reasonabke

i just make smaller things, dont usually do anything too big in scale

[near mango]

One of the best in the game ye
