While true that harpies cannot show up above spawn, this only applies until wall of flesh is killed. So that tip is only useful early game. Sorry about the mistake, folks!

Something not a lot of people remember: the king and queen statues teleport NPCs to their location. That means a single switch wired to a timer wired to these statues creates an NPC panic room, so you can send them elsewhere while you handle the threat in and around your (fortified) base!

@Khaios

2 жыл бұрын

The unfortunate side to this is it selects one male or female npc randomly per activation of the statue, so even if you use multiple statues, there is a chance you summon the same npcs multiple times, and not save the npcs you'd like to. A more reliable, but time consuming method would be to use teleporters.

another solution i often use: make the ground floor void of NPCs. That way even if enemies enter the house, they will be unable to reach anything they could kill

For Blood Moon and Goblin/Pirate events... I use a door adjacent to a door. Players can run right through the double door, as one opens towards you and the other away. But for Meanies.. .they cannot push a door open into another. Makes for smooth movement with no need to use a tool or a switch. ( Plus, adds in double door creativity options .. :) )

For the “ugly looking floating house” you could use the alien saucer design with gemspark walls to make it look like its abducting you

To be more precise - literally ANYTHING(except background walls ofc) placed inside near the door will block it from opening inside as the opened door is full on 3x2 entity and two entities cannot be in the same place in Terraria naturally. You can use platforms, paintings, ropes, actuated blocks. Anything that will not break on impact like vines, grass etc.

I’m totally with you on the universal pylon, and I have a few suggestions as to how they could do it. A: The universal pylon unlocks after all other pylons have been built and powered somewhere in your world. Or B: The universal pylon unlocks after you’ve gotten the bestiary of every town NPC specifically. I really don’t think it’s a fitting reward for getting every last entry in the bestiary. I’m not sure what would’ve been better, but I honestly don’t think this was it. On a different question, i actually would love to build a base in hell, but my question then becomes what biome does the NPCs treat it as? If it’s treated the same as the underground biome, that would be incredibly convenient if I needed to do something in hell and didn’t want to fall 5,000 blocks everytime I wanted to do that haha

If you don’t want to fall every time you need to go to hell, you could do some lava fishing and get a demon conch.

You can also use the actuated door option. Place three actuators on a wall (three solid blocks) with player-activated pressure plates on either side, then wire it all together.

I can't imagine what a build that you spend months or even a year on would look like, it would be almost mesmerizing to see the amount of skill that was put into it. You truly are the architect of the cosmos.

Awesome build tips as always! And i even learned some facts about biomes too!

Whenever I see a video of yours I'm always so impressed by how clever the designs for some of these houses are. The painted over teleporters is just so damn cool.

Some great ideas here. My son and I play in a shared world all the time and we use actuated blocks that block all doors which we can turn on and off with a switch. Also, not as attractive but all our bases are floating islands with a lava pool underneath. We love collecting the money from these ;)

@runningwithlola

Also, your builds are so cool. A few years into the game (I know....) I'm just beginning to build houses that aren't wooden boxes. I've built an amazing wizard's castle nestled in the Hallow and a frost castle for the Goblin Tinkerer and Mechanic in the snow biome. It's so fun playing with different walls and blocks.

For the door, I'm actually a big fan of using actuated blocks for it! It's something I've been doing since 1.3 so I use either pressure plates (the ones activated only by players to prevent NPCs from escaping) or a player logic sensor and hook those up to 5 actuated blocks (5-block tall doors for easy access even with mounts) so I can easily just run in and out of the base and never have to worry about enemies opening or breaking any actual doors! For invasions, I generally build my base higher up in the sky and build an AFK farm right below it on the surface. That way I can easily fight against invasions, events like blood moon and solar eclipse, have lots of space to leave spiky ball traps, and never worry about monsters spawning in my NPC housing to wipe them out. It's very practical for me, I just have no sense for making it look aesthetic xD

Good builds as ever! Tnx for the tips

I'm on a Journey playthrough focused on building and this vid will help me immensely. Thank you for the hard work Khaios!

I just recently started making a graveyard biome in my main world. It's my first build that uses wiring and statues as the main obstacles and has a large catacombs underneath. I'm planning on putting the clothier at the end of the maze in a large tomb where you fight Skeletron in. It would be a fun alternative to the dungeon. Instead of killing skeletron to enter the dungeon, this alternative requires you to explore it to find and fight skeletron or if modded, a new boss for a replacement. I only got far enough to finish the surface biome and entrance to the catacombs. This is my first build with actual effort put in it. The rest of the world currently is bland compared to the graveyard. I hope I have the will to change that and build better houses and make some biomes look a little better. Without knowing how to use TEdit, all of this will have to be by hand.

I just repair and upgrade an underground cabin when I explore in early game and use it as a panic room (using the pylon system obv) and house for the underground npcs like the goblin, bomb seller and the clothier, it also allows me to have a easy access to the underground in hardmode, also the digging molecart is usefull for making a minecart network starting from the underground base

ok the flying drone boulder holders is mint! good inspiration.

nice! keep up the great work

the examples...just wow those are tops. OOOOFT

That UFO idea and the castle house with the teleporter to the second level are such genius ways to use teleporters. I've never even thought to use teleporters for asthetics!

One could use Day & Night logic sensors to operate actuator blocks in front of NPC housing to keep them zombies & bloodmoons enemies at bay. The validation of NPC housing don't care about what's outside the housing. Of course a Player logic sensor would also be nice to toggle the actuators but then the whole system needs some spaghetti wiring to function properly.

great vid as always!

My door solution uses actuators and pressure plates to make any size wall a player only door, and I throw some enemy only pressure plate hooked up to some nasty traps

I have been trying to find your channel for a year I lost my old account and also lost the channel but I just say you while looking up "Terraria" and I'm so happy your channel popped up

Here's another build tip; if you put slanted platforms next to a single block, you can go straight through it like it was a platform from the sides (you'll still bump into them from the top/bottom though). Great for hanging lanterns and banners around your arenas. I recommend doing this with 2x1 pools of honey so you can get the health regen buff when jumping into it or running over it with minimal slowdown. I suggest making the bottom of the pool into an upside-down pyramid so you don't get stopped if you miss the jump.

Thanks m8 I’ve been building a bunker and these helped

ah finally. the classic khaios intro music is so good

One trick I always liked doing was placing a layer of actuated blocks in front of my doors that you link to a switch, that way you can completely lock down your base in case of emergencies, nothing gets in or out unless they can move through blocks

Those drones just gave me an idea of a minigame you can make where it’s raining boulders and ya gotta survive till you’re the last one standing lol

Your builds are so impressive.

This is a good tips since I'm playing a modded terraria with difficulty set on Eternity Mode. In the process of harvesting Hellstone Ores and Obsidians, I accidentally fought and killed the WoF when I'm not completely prepared for the Hardmode, now I'm currently trying to upgrade my equipment since although my armor and weapon is ok for Post-WoF, it still not a preferred sets since there is a better weapons and armors open to me. I'll still need to grind some XP to level them up, but that's easy enough if I just finish making an afk farm for it.

I just started playing terraria and this tutorial is a lifesaver. It's astonishing just how good it is - I haven't died once since I watched this.

the fact that you can block doors with furniture is why I always put the standing lamps of whatever material type of building the house out of next to the doors on every build I do

I have actually made a house at ground level with no doors but actuators and pressure plates that only trigger when a player steps on them. They are to the side of the walls and make it passable for a second if you run through, but are otherwise just like normal blocks.

Some great tips

The subscribe dog is very cute!

I love Khaios so much and his videos. It terrifies me not knowing how things will go with the twilight of Terraria, and the possibility of losing his content.

Nice video!

wow this is awesome

I use a mod that gives you a large base at the beginning of your world at spawn. One style you can choose puts your beginner base just below the surface with a wired trap door on top for entry/exit. Even if you make more doors to either side, almost nothing gets in, even during blood moon.

khaios always finds a way to make everything 10450891x more amazing and we all love him for it, no exceptions.

Yeah, I have always put platforms on the inside of my doors so zombies can't open them on a blood moon. I have been doing this like ever since I first started playing Terraria and I noticed placing stuff can block the doors so they can only swing open one way.

Somehow, I have never noticed that the sky in the middle of the map is free from flying critters. :O Thank you, Khaios! Marvelous builds, as always.

Harpies and wyverns can both spawn in the middle of the map. I think because NPCs are often housed at spawn and they lower spawn rates this results in people thinking this.

the 1 block before the door and the furniture one are a long time ones for veterans :p

god i love Khaios

I love your intro

Hey Khaios, did someone ever told you that can build pretty good looking builds 😉

I once built a castle medieval house the door was high with stairs a ng d the sides too high to climb so when invasions happen they sorta jump on the sides witch are great whith the nimbus rod

I always forget about traps and their uses. Thanks for the reminder! I always like to play as if I'm an invader from another dimension - an alien of sorts. And thus, I build my worlds into martian invasions a lot. Space ship houses among the clouds and what-not with futuristic technology holding them afloat. Even better on tModLoader these days. Autism got me in a loop at this point lol

I’m just building all my houses on little floating islands I make. It’s something I’ve never tried before and it keeps mobs from getting in since I keep the space outside the doors to 3-4 blocks max. I even made a secondary jungle since both oceans were clean on my world (I have horrible luck with jungles getting taken over by evils in hardmode)

This is a necessary video

It seems like the safest place to build is in midair, far enough away from any blocks that there's no place for enemies to spawn, but also below where harpies spawn (since they do spawn in the center of the world after killing the Wall of Flesh). I think this also has the caveat that the entire base needs to fit onscreen, and if any of it is ever offscreen then enemies will be able to spawn there. Most enemy spawns will be suppressed by the presence of town NPCs, but invasion spawns, blood moons, and solar eclipses will not. Of course, if you want to use pylons then this isn't really an option. I guess you could always build the base out of enough biome blocks to make the requisite biome, but that's boring.

I always lock doors by placing a dirt block outside it. once you get mechanic you can actuate the blocks
