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. 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. 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. Starting Tree House (1.3+) By ForgeUser20945236.

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. Terraria Design: A simple sub, The ultimate place for sharing tips and tricks as well as showcasing good designs from Terraria. 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. 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.
