How to build like a Terraria Pro

A lot of people will come to me with questions about building houses how can I build something like this where do you get inspiration for your Creations by the end of this video you will be able to build houses like a professional Terraria player every house is built

Before you lay a single block down before you even start the game you should have a detailed spreadsheet of every house you want to build that you can reference as you play notes scribbled in pen on a used napkin are also acceptable lay the framework of your houses but don’t get too bogged

Down with the specifics you can decide those later get an idea of the themes amenities annual rent increases zero liability Clauses forced arbitration and similar details personally I will always try to match the character I create to the Aesthetics of the houses I’m building if you’re making a stone Castle

Try making your character look like a weasel a more warm rustic Cottage fits well with a weasel looking character floating island Creations will match the energy of a weasel while Subterranean Labyrinth should be owned by weasel if you plan to build houses in the Underworld I suggest a feret once you’re

In the game it’s key to remember that you don’t have the best building tools available yet your blocks are limited you don’t have paints and therefore you should build every house out of wood with wooden walls you can lie to yourself and call these temporary houses

But we both know you aren’t going to make prominent ones if you still want to keep up those delusional thoughts though these are the three biggest things that you need to master to build like a professional variety asymmetry and function variety is simple make things different don’t copy and paste the same

House schematic across the world make your houses unique use a variety of building materials blocks and walls get creative with paint colors mix things up you’ve got 11 different blocks in your inventory use them all you’re painting your vision on a blank canvas let those thoughts flow freely I’ll walk you

Through some of the houses I’ve built and the places that I received inspiration from this house is evokes a very unique feeling one that many people will remember the Yo-Yo Man Who Would visit children in elementary school assemblies and sell yo-yos he’s back Jay with this one I channeled the emotional

Turmoil of an impossible decision the pizza you usually buy is on sale for $5 but there’s one you’ve never tried before on closeout for $ 3.47 do you take the gamble is it on close out because it’s bad it’s a frozen pizza how bad could it be a thousand thoughts

Racing through your mind flowing freely into this house this took me back to when I watched my freshman year roommate Charles E cheese beat chesto Cheeto within an inch of his life for sleeping with his girl he would later go on to serve 20 years for armed robbery

Manifesting in the house being located underground rainor Hunter of course you don’t have to draw inspiration from the same places I do they’re your houses not mine you might feel a deep connection to a cold bag of mozzarella cheese or that feeling finding a pack of starboost in

Your Halloween candy that has two ore Starbursts or that time your mom told you that you were moving across the country but didn’t want to tell your friends because she wasn’t sure it was happening yet and didn’t want to be embarrassed so you made plans with your

Best friend to go laser tagging and say goodbye but then the laser tag place was closed for the holiday and you never saw them again asymmetry is one of the easiest fixes for Bland housing don’t stack up all your houses on top of each other with a chair torch and table in

The exact same spot change their locations or how large the rooms are make different window sizes use different walls for different rooms and try alternating the furniture that you use perfectly symmetrical houses might look neat but they don’t look natural they’re sterile and offputting if you

Can turn this into this you’re well on your way to becoming a building Master function just means making your builds actually work when playing this is a mistake there’s no protection the NPCs inside will just die sure it’s the house that speedrunners build are you speedr

Running no you’ll waste a lot more time waiting for the NPCs to respawn than it would have taken to build a safer house especially if you need those NPCs alive to use pylons your ideal house will hold two to three NPCs and contain a pylon and you’ll ideally have multiple of

These houses in the world to create a pylon Network what NPC should you house together whoever you feel like to buy the pylon in the first place all you need is two NPCs one of whom has literally anything positive to their happiness outside of isolation one liked

NPC or just being in a liked biome with a neutral NPC is enough you do not need an elaborate pylon guide nose plus Merchant gets every biome outside of the desert and they’re usually the first two NPCs you get nurse and arms dealer does everything but the snow biome mechanic

And Goblin gets every pylon zoologist Eng gulfer gets every pylon once you have that pylon it doesn’t matter who lives there move the happy pair in buy the pylon move someone else in then move the happy pair somewhere else to buy another pylon you should always have the

Goblin underground with the die Trader and mechanic to optimize his prices if you want to buy massive amount of wiring material put him in an underground snow biome to make the mechanic happy as well outside of that I barely ever put much thought into happiness if you need to

Buy a lot from a particular NPC or you’re doing fishing quests make sure the relevant NPC is happy but most of them I won’t use much when playing don’t make them extremely unhappy by cramming them into a tiny area but don’t bend over backwards to optimize the happiness

Of an NPC you’re barely going to use that’s all the advice I’ve got for you today if you keep these tips in mind you are well on your way to becoming a building Master
