Made this base today, thought it turned out nicely :) I'll add a book case or two once I defeat skeletor tomorrow.
That's so cool! Now I'm ashamed of my boring wooden rectangle bases. ๐

Not everyone has to be a master architect/artist, just to enjoy the game :)
Lol no shame in a nice rectangle! They're a classic, so easy and convenient :p
try out circles! there're neat tools that help with drafting pixel art circles. a bit of a pain to build (you'll definitely need the ruler) but it's fun to see some spheres and domes in your world :)
Every time I play Terraria I tell myself I'll actually start building something good then end up making the boring rectangle hotel to stuff all my NPCs in one place. It's just too good.
Lol this save also has a rectangle npc hotel. I typically build simple near spawn then build fun stuff around the map as I feel inspired / when I make pylons.
terraria added years ago the whole npc favored locations/friendship stuff that enables you to unlock the crystals for fast travel. and being able to get across the map that quickly is just too valuable to me.
Any tips for someone noob like me? Always wanted to play it but I don't exactly know where to start
Keep the wiki open, explore the surface for cave entrances and look for pots/chests, the game completely changes once you get a grappling hook.
Naw go in blind, its pretty simple in the start. Of course you'll need the wiki later when you're trying to figure out what to do, but getting to hell and letting a demon drop its stuff right into the lava is a blast the first time when you have no idea whats coming.
After beating the game 4 times it all becomes second nature what to do. But the journey to get there is so much fun when you're first starting.
I disagree, the start is the most obtuse part about Terraria. It's not clear what you should be doing, where you should be going, how to build valid housing for NPCs, etc.
I started blind waaay back when it first released and hated it, then went back to it with a guide and had way more fun. There is NO way someone will figure out without guidance that you're supposed to go down the holes in the corruption , TNT rocks, then smash orbs with a hammer to summon the 2nd boss.
Once you get into hard mode you can figure things out yourself , but at the start you either need to play with a friend that knows what's up or follow a guide so you don't suffer.
To each their own, I hated playing without knowing the crafting recipes and always loved looking up what I can make with everything I picked up.
You don't need the wiki for that though, you can ask the guide what you can make out of anything.
When I started playing, the guide was completely useless. He would also open your doors and leave them open, I very quickly grew to despise the guide and made his home a prison.
Like someone else said, I prefer to go blind and not check the wiki if possible! I was looking for tips or stuff to do/don't
Thank you!
Talk to the guide (starting npc) for tips on what to do next, you can also give him things you find and he'll tell you what you can craft with them. He's like the in game wiki and can be very helpful. Also spend lots of time just exploring, and don't be afrid to die.
When exploring make sure to collect any metals you see, and use them to building upgraded pickaxe and armor. Also build extra houses so you can have lots of npcs move in. I hope you have fun & definetly look things up online if you have questions :)
Welp, guess Iโm installing Terraria again
"The human mind. Six hundred miles of synaptic fiber, five and a half ounces of cranial fluid, fifteen hundred grams of complex neural matter... A three pound pile of dreams. But I'll tell you what it really is. It is the ultimate battlefield--and, the ultimate weapon. The wars of this modern age--The Psychic Age-- are all fought somewhere between these damp, curvaceous undulations. From this day forward, you are all Psychic Soldiers. Paranormal Paratroopers! Mental Marines who are about to ship out on the adventure of their lives! THIS IS OUR BEACHHEAD. And this is your landing craft! You shall engage the enemy in his own mentality! You shall chase his dreams, you shall fight his demons, you shall live his nightmares! And those of you who fight well, you will find yourselves on the path to becoming international secret agents. In other words... Psychonauts! The rest of you... WILL DIE."
That looks awesome reminds me of a level from the game UnEpic.
Thanks :) & I've never played unepic, it looks cool tho. I'm a fan of platformers, do you think it's still worth getting a copy?
Unepic wasn't bad, but doesn't hold a candle to Terraria. It's still my favorite sandbox game.
Sweet!
Omg I always wanted to do this but it would've looked only half as good. Amazing job!
