![]() If you'd like something explained further or want more examples of anything, just ask! I'm not sure if I'm going to add any more sections after this one, but I'm more than happy to add anything on to existing ones or give you advice for your build. Give it propellers, or maybe rockets- just something. Building on floating islands is fine, but please don't just have a random house floating in the middle of nowhere. One last thing for this section: don't make random floating builds unless they have something "holding" them up, such as clouds or some kind of mechanical thing. If you see a neat hill or crevasse, or simply some interesting-looking geography, don't flatten it all out! Make your build flow with the terrain, and it'll look a lot more natural and nice. If this house was without the stilts and in regular Purity, it wouldn't have the same effect.Īnother important thing to do is to build around the terrain you're given. ![]() So having justified myself and my playing style, let me share the first stages of my first really big build in Terraria and the solution I have come up with for my “single entrance” problem.If you'll look at this build I whipped up, you can notice that I've built it on stilts of mahogany in the jungle water. And I kind of fail to see what the fun of Terraria is if you’re just going to play it in a purely pragmatic manner where your sole criterion in making decisions is efficiency. Snow Terraria house designs are made for the players to protect them from harsh weather conditions and hostile creatures present in the snow. I like to emulate real structures and real systems (and I mean emulate, not replicate). But if you’ve read this blog at all, you know that I am not a strictly pragmatic player. Obviously, you could just skip the pretense and build your base floating in the air. What is needed is a more convincing way to design that first layer of background blocks and a staircase leading up to the single entrance to your base (which is technically floating off the ground, but it doesn’t look like it is). But sometimes, particularly if you are trying to build a big enough complex to house all your NPCs, stilts start to look a little silly. The thing is, visually this works well for log cabins and small to mid-sized buildings. You can walk under this building because wooden beams are a mid-ground block. Also, it may have had two doors: one on each side so you could leave in either direction without having to jump over your building.īuild some steps up to the door on the left and you have a decent starter shelter. But when you built your first building, it was probably a rectangle of wood, possibly with some stone wall background, a table and chair, a couple of torches, and a workbench. You have background blocks (walls), middle-ground blocks (furniture, wooden beams, etc.), and foreground blocks (the kind you cannot walk through, because your character is on the same plane as they are), and if you know what you are doing you can create some really interesting structures that play with perspective and appear to have depth. A house (or home) is a structure built by the player that town NPCs require in order to spawn, with one house required per NPC. Terraria, being the two-dimensional side-scrolling wonder of a game that it is, has very little depth built into it. Well, it just so happens that I also play Terraria.Īnd today I want to share something I am in the process of building. ![]() Hold the phone! What is a Terraria post doing on this blog?! It looks like Harry Potter killing a bunny with a light saber while drowning in a pool of water. ![]()
