Do you seek to tame your world Holla Forums? Do you try to civilize the wild?
if so? Why? if not, why not?
And if you do, how do you do it?
I tend to start out by making my own house, then houses for NPCs, meanwhile trying to pave over (using grey brick) the existing land. Flatten out everything and make it easy to just walk from one area to the next. Staircases where needed but the idea is that I shouldn't have to do anything other than press the direction I want to go in.
Ok I guess nobody wants to talk about a good game.
Kevin Mitchell
whatever, faggot
Ethan Gray
how do you make your cute/cool looking houses survive the hardmode change?
or you just make them on a easy mode world, and do teh hardmode on a separate world?
Charles Green
Well, NPCs are supposed to give a certain little protection against the intrustion of enemies and such. There are some items that help do the same.
I think the design idea is not to have a super big sprawling put apart area but something more tight nit.
Jaxon Miller
What I want to do is just make a few divisions between different lands by making 'holes' between them.
Then a bit of horizontal divisions to to be ready for hard mode.
After activating hardmode, all I think I'm gonna do is roam and purify some infected lands
William Nguyen
I actually have wondered about all of this. The Druid gives you a counter for how much is corrupted. But I wonder if you could actually get rid of the corruption entirely? And if so, what is the benefit?
Aiden Price
I believe you just get a pat in the back for purifying everything. I don't plan on purifying everything though, just sandbox crimson and the other one so I can have fun with my own autism and belief that I have every area secure.
Jace Garcia
I usually make some "Government Housing" pretty quickly, as well as a slew of loosely arranged, tightly packed chests so that when I come back/respawn I can quick sort everything away.
Government Housing is just basic stone with stone walls, just big enough to count as housing, at least 10 floors so I can have 10 inhabitants while I actually make their houses. Only recently have I started to care what my housing looks like.
Jose Clark
Well, the way I do it, is I usually play on a hardcore mode.
In that way, I always am forced to push this taming of the world mentality. When that character dies, a new one comes up to claim the old one's progress.
So my building usually takes on the image of a larger sprawling mansion. With each room dedicated to building in a certain material. The idea being that the inevitable new character (because of the death of the previous) is some waht happening upon this large mansion full of other characters and this world full of perils and they must continue this constant taming of this crazy fucking world.
I read lovecraft stories from time to time so maybe that's my reasoning.
Thomas Lee
We should make an opposing factions server Each team gets a base on the other edge of the world and they will compete for access to the jungle or the dungeon The goal is to capture the Gem Would that work?
Isaac Allen
Are the Terraria clones any good?
most seems kinda shitty.
some "friends" insist Junk Jack and Crea are fun but i am not in the mood to try em for now
Nolan Perez
Τhey are all shitty attempts to jump on the bandwagon of a great game's success
Josiah Campbell

Austin Roberts
it's too easy to relogin, pretending to be the other faction then snag everything from chests for your "real" faction
Lincoln Cruz
Obviously this is a server for Holla Forums only
Kevin White
At least you do it better than the bf1 guys
Nathan Jenkins
Duke Fishron is kicking my dick in, and I can't purify enough of the world (falling shy of building hellevators either side and going ape with the Clemantator
Charles Myers
Fishron on expect in probably the last boss to fight before Moonman. Use the same gear you would use vs the moonman, UFO mount and unequip all movement accessories for combat accessories
Brayden Thomas
In addition:
You basically want to build a bottle city on top of a pit.
Gavin Fisher
Yeah, I've got full Beetle gear, but even though I have a melee build, I'm tempted to make some Shroomite gear and use Megashark + Chlrofite Bullets.
I do have the Xeno-Popper, but I think Megashark would have more damage overall. And I can't get Swat Skeletons for the life of me.
Tempted to farm Martian events to get more martian gear- and the mount as you said.
I got him down to a sliver last time. Just got to grab more truffle worms.
I was also on Normal. But thanks.
Julian Gray
From a previous thread: Come join our Holla Forums terraria server, we are doing an expert mode playtrough and are currently at plantera. Ip: 86.92.77.161 port: 7777 pass: videogames
Please don't bring in any post plantera chars as we like it to be progressive rather then people farming duke fishron 24/7
Wyatt Hill
Also… Hero gets cucked again.
Adam Hughes
And instant tree growing. More Dryad/Living Tree items?
Connor Powell
Maybe? There was a suggestion awhile back about expanding the power of the staff of regrowth. One of the suggestions was giving it instant sapling growing but one of the devs said that part couldn't be done with the way the engine handles tree growth. Apparently something has now changed.
Carter Cooper
None of the clones really provide anything Terraria doesn't already without it being buggy, incomplete or flat-out bad.
Owen King
Nurse's self-heal is fucking crazy, she walked out of her house where I had her for fighting Moon Lord and she was perfectly fine from constant regeneration even with a hail of attacks going on.
Juan Gonzalez
The Dryad and the Nurse are a power team when it comes to survival.
Lincoln Baker
Maybe I should set them up a home in the arena I built.
Maybe even pull the Dryad and Nurse over to my Fishron Arena.
Tyler Lewis
Wouldn't be a bad idea to do that at all, worst-case scenario is you lose the fight and your Dryad/Nurse are dead so you wait a game-day for them to come back, reassign them and then try again. Having your nurse nearby for instant full-heal is indispensable in tougher bosses like Fishron and Moon Lord.
Ian Richardson
Just keep them away from your Pumpkin Moon arena. The Pumpking's Scythe projectiles tend to fuck NPC's shit up quick.
Henry Turner
you lost, boy?
Caleb Collins
serber when
Aaron Ward
Fug, i just got around playing in the 1.3v, they added lot new thing since i last time played. 2013 thnk it was. Own base, resource gather (decent mineshaft what goes to hell) when all this done , i can start explore.
Landon Sanchez
I like to build graves for dead NPCs though.
Anthony Hughes
Sorry to post twice, but I just thought- what does the Martian laser do to them?
Could the Nurse and/or Dryad survive? Does the Nurse heal NPCs?
Nicholas Jones
if anybody knows of a cheap host that could handle what the server needs I'll put one up.
Last one was going to run me 40/month for the specs to run a single server.
Zachary Hill
Trees don't grow that high in the current version, do they?
Easton Rodriguez
I like having my buildings conform to the landscape personally. It's not always practical but aesthetically you can get some pretty sweet designs off of it. I'd post an example but my old server isn't up atm.
Levi Murphy
Bump
Camden Ramirez

Isaac Morris
I decided to play the role of a madman, bent on destruction. Does that count as "taming your world"? Basically went full aqua. Good times were had.
Ethan Hernandez
Terraria Otherworld is in the making. It was initially scheduled to release within 2015, but at christmas time, devs postponed it and we haven't heard anything for the last six or so months.
It looks like it will be decent, seeing how it is the original devs who create it. There will be quests and shit, which will make the game even better.
I wish they would just say something about how the game is doing.
Jaxon Jackson
what's this hardmode everyone keeps talking about?
Justin Edwards
Dig deep; dig greedily. Seek the doll and cast it into the flames. You will learn soon enough.
Carson Kelly
Same thing it does to everyone else. Which is why you need a roof, or multiple roofs to block it.
Benjamin Reyes
because i cant make a town that walks around eating smaller towns growing more beautiful, rich and cultured as it does so
Jack Barnes
yes nurse does heal npcs
Ethan Perry
It is not canon, don't bother
Ryan Cook
we are about to start a new world with some other guy, if anyone wants to join add me on steam, i'll post when the server is up steamcommunity.com/id/HIV_POSSITIVE/
Leo Howard
on it boss
Luis Sanchez
alright the server is up pw 123
Joseph Perez
What server
Owen Gomez
the other guy left because it was too laggy, but you can join trhough steam if you add me
Ian Russell
Fuck you too, Microsoft.
Cameron Brown
this shit's not working, someone else host, SA internet is cancer
Christopher King
I hope you selected your kernals manually. Enjoy windows 10 if not :^)
Thomas Morris
I could host if you'd like. I'm Gene and I can start up a new world, would you like expert or normal?
Asher Lewis
Fuck off.
Lucas Edwards
Okay. I'm going to attempt to host this once the world is made anyways it's expert so be prepared for pain if you come in
Jordan Green
Right done. steamcommunity.com/id/criminal_gravy/ Is my profile so be sure to hop in. You don't need to friend me, you should be able to get right in. The password is case sensitive and it's Leatherman
Liam Collins
expert is fine, it would be better if everyone started from 0 tho
Dominic Rivera
i dont know how to join tbh
Austin Hall
Only thing I ever made that wasn't a commieblock. It took too long to build and wasn't space efficient, so I'm probably never going to bother ever again. Cramming maximum NPCs into minimum space just works best for all purposes other than aesthetics.
Evan Smith
good buildings shit rooms
6/10
your background glass doesn't really work in the domes due to the background effect I think but without it the whole wouldn't be as good, so I suggest a either sapphire gemspark or blue slime but you could also add martian conduct plating around the inside of the dome and that could work too
the rooms could be done better especially the your work area having everything lined up isn't visually pleasing but I think if you made the domes little bit bigger or added more of them you could fix the issues there with having weird rooms, since if you added more you could have your npc rooms in better spots which would make space for workshops
Jace Parker
I just hope development of Terraria 2 is sacrificed for this. Yes Otherworld is closer to the original idea of Terraria, but they hit the money with what Terraria became.
John Cooper
Anyone else got some sci-fi bases?
Ayden Miller
that church…
Bentley Carter
I want to make a meteorite base within a meteorite crash site
Camden Hill
This part of the game messes with my 'tism real bad.
Any sane person builds a bridge in the underworld so he can focus on that god awful boss and not fall into the lava.
But that bridge… oh god, the 'tism hurts just thinking about it.
Please tell me there's somebody here whose 'tism is sufficiently bad that they have to systematically remove the bridge afterwards. There's got to be one such individual here.
Aiden Clark
Wait a minute…
We space now?
What did I miss?
Noah Fisher
It's a graphical effect of the Pillars and Monoliths. In this case Stardust.
Zachary Sanchez
It switched devs?
Alexander Gray
I haven't built a bridge for it in a long time. I don't even do that on hardcore runs.
I just make sure the path is traversable, which means cutting holes into some of the buildings and building platforms over massive lava pits, and I don't even do the latter much anymore because water walking potions are easier.
Owen Butler
Looks like they just made it so trees can grow on-screen. Currently they can only grow when they're loaded, i.e. when you're far away and walk towards them.
Don't know if they will from acorns, but naturally generated trees be even taller.
Ryder Sanchez
JUST MAKE A SERVER ALREADY
Adam Perry
Neither have I, but I will say that building a bridge is a good way of getting a Demon Scythe.

Nah, it's the birthday update. Terraria just turned 5.

Remember you can use gemspark walls behind blocks to give hidden light accents.
Carson Taylor
ganja farm, water purification, mine field

Carter Turner
Got any tips for a newbie? ive played just over 10 hours and am enjoying so far. My biggest mistake so far is to have a mediumcore character while fighting king slime and eye of cthulu in my home, both was tedius as shit while i was getting rekt.
Hudson Phillips
make npc valid houses so they can move in. buy some bombs and grenades, use the bombs to bust up crimson/corruption and get to the shadow orbs or hearts and break them. i forget if it takes a hammer or pick to break them. if you break 3 a boss will spawn, the counter does not reset when you log out. when mining meteorite bring plenty of bombs and gel, make sticky bombs, easy safe mining. use sticky bombs for everything, wipe your ass with sticky bombs
Luke Lopez
Well fore one thing, if you haven't already, make an easycore character and transfer your stuff to that one, otherwise hardmode is going to hurt more than it needs to.
Adam Jackson
I love the moment you can make meteorite gear, all the pain and suffering of being a newbie twat starts to fade away.
Robert Watson
Anyone hosting a server?

Jayden Long
My friend gifted this to me last Thursday and I've already put 50 hours into it, my base is a mess and I have no idea what to do next, but I still keep playing it.
HELP
Sebastian Taylor
Post your base so we can see what you've done. Also what do you desire to do?
Dylan Brooks
Also, if you're still here: Make an arena (check guides for rough size). It's useful for fighting bosses, and keeps your NPCs safe. (Dryad offers a shield and the Nurse can heal NPCs and herself to not die- even to tough bosses. So maybe build their houses near by).
Fill the arena with Heart Lamps, Stars in Bottles, and CampFires as needed. As well as buffing stations (Whetstone, Crystal Ball, Ammo Crate, etc) and some heart/star statues on switches when you get then.
It won't look comfy, and due to it's size you'll need a LOT of wall.
Jeremiah Brooks
Here's what I got.
I'm thinking of making some fuck-huge base in one of the cloud islands by making one of them bigger. Other than just general game progression that's all I have planned, maybe collect all of the statues, chests, and banners along the way.
Benjamin Roberts
To those playing on my modded Terraria server from one of the previous threads, I'll be shutting it down until Monday since I'll be gone until then. Sorry.
Easton Evans
Ouch! Right in the 'tism!
Trees have roots just underground, the stem don't go far down into the earth like that.
But at least you didn't build a commieblock on your first go, I'll give you that.
Lurk threads and look at comfy builds more. First world is never redeemable, but that's just how it is.
Eli Thompson
So wait, is there another major update on the way? Fucking hell…
Caleb Gonzalez
...
Camden Robinson
If you like tree builds you should consider going to the UG jungle and looking for a Living Mahogany Wand and Rich Mahogany Leaf Wand.
Aaron Perez
Come on, building the bridge isn't hard if you use the existing buildings. Remember that you can build diagonal staircases (1block up, 1block left, 1block up, 1block left, etc etc) and run on it without stopping. Line up the staircases with the floors on the buildings as you dig out the walls.
Elijah Ward
I've built cart tracks that spanned the entire depth of hell. On a large world
You are small time.
Connor Gomez
To be honest I wasn't even planning on that, I just expanded the original living wood when I ran out of space, but I even gave up on that and just threw a bed and chest in the NPC rooms which are where they are simply for a half-assed compromise of convenience and aesthetic.
Danka.
Got it.
Not sure if I'd make a whole base, but maybe just to give the Dryad an appropriately-themed room.
Cooper Reed
its just slang for dryad oral sex
Cooper Nelson
Fucking this.
Chase Barnes
Living Wood trees can go pretty far down in Terraria.
Xavier Cook
I hope we eventually get more varieties of living trees.

Razorblade Typhoon is my fetish
Liam Jenkins
It got me my werewolf buff. And I'm doing a melee build.
Not to mention I used all my chlorophite up so I've got to go on an exursion to make more homing bullets- or make Specter bars for the high-end robes if I used it.
I did use the Razorblade in my second battle, but it didn't help pop bubbles.
Hudson Clark
Shit taste detected.
Ethan Ortiz

I hope one day Red comes out and says "we didn't try as hard as we could to expand the world limitations so next update will add space biome"
Gavin Carter
It's back now
Zachary Diaz
Did you update to the latest tModLoader version? I tried latest and tried downgrading, both times said my version is wrong
Jack Johnson
I'd say there's still a possibility for that. Although it might be easier to add a space world type instead of expand the map since they ran into save stability issues with trying to implement extra large worlds. Then again a year and a half ago the devs thought it wasn't possible to to make trees grow with the player on screen, so who knows.
Kayden King
that base is pure eye rape
Angel Fisher
Just make a Chlorophyte farm you fucking nerd
Evan Carter
is anyone currently hosting a server for Holla Forums?

Connor Hall

Landon Kelly

Jeremiah Morales
No kidding. They sort of dropped the ball with the interior and furniture but the house itself is pretty nice.
While we're on the subject, where are all the meteorite brick houses? Or even meteorite builds in general? I've hardly seen any since 1.3 was released over a year ago. Seems pretty odd for a new block as striking as meteorite brick that has the full assortment of furniture to go along with it. These, along with the other two I posted, are the only examples I've got saved at all, and three of them I got recently from here.
Colton Lopez
Anybody knows where to get schematics these days?
I want to dick around in terraria, but my 'tism is not sufficient enough for me to bother spending hours getting the materials and shit to build what I want.
Just want to edit my world in TEdit and populate it with some nice prefabs.
