At least add the empty false foundation! ;)

A wooden box in Terraria is like a stealth archer build in Skyrim. No matter how hard you try to avoid doing it, you always end up doing it anyway

[@Choryrth]

basically yeah. i tried making a pumkpin house, it ended up a pumpkin box, with wooden boxes encasing it all around.

[@hmmm.74]

Am I the only one who hates stealth archers and never does them? I guess I have an IQ of 2 and end up having all heavy armor two handed builds, rushing at people like a madman.

[@WrathOfWater5931]

@@hmmm.74 I usually do Stealth Mage. Specifically Stealth Necromancer. Basically, summon an flame or ice atronach(?), use illusion spells to bend the battle, then reanimate the strongest body you can after giving it a steel Warhammer. It's fun, but impractical until you master illusion, sneak, conjuration, and optionally alteration and destruction.

[@Naokarma]

Something something ultimate weapon rule

[@speedycookie]

25:15 is a good spot for a summary But in conclusion: • Foundation / false foundation • 2 thick wall and roof (at least) • Bigger rooms (6/7 high and longer) • A bit more realistic (support beams) • Make rooms not blocky • VARIETY in blocks, walls and rooms • Choose a theme and test out some blocks (trial and error is the way to go) • Use accents and contrasts

Step 3: Watch as your creation gets destroyed by skeletron prime because you thought it was a good idea to build this in for the worthy. Step 4: cry Step 5: Repeat back to step one but make it in a different world and skip steps 3-5, making them obsolete, just like your build as it gets infected by corruption. And you can't buy an contaminator, so basically you have to start again. Step 6: You accidentally delete the world and lose everything oof stinks to be you.

Easy summary of Khaios pro tips on building houses 1. Create a larger space 2:18 2. Creating a foundation 3:23 -adds blocks underground as it adds texture and details rather than placing your house on top of the soil. -false foundation. Creating a gap between your floor and the ground 3. Basic Exterior tips 4:59 -add a block at the both sides of the floor -add thickness on to your house atleast on the sides and ceiling. -don't make your floor longer than your ceiling 4. Orientation 6:19 -Plan your house -make sure only 2-3 NPC are the only people living there for their happiness will be affected. -it is okay if your floor don't have the same height. Word of Khaios: 7:47 If you are not happy to what it looks, change it until you are happy with it. 5. Make it semi-realistic 7:55 -there should be a balance between too much and too little realism -add more foundation like pillars and beam to hold floating or attached structures -add foundation inside your house too! Like in the corner of the ceiling, which you put classy 3 blocks hammered into an art making your house more realistic and having more details! 6. Add some variety of blocks! 9:39 -add different blocks to each of the part of your house like roof, floor, wall, etc rathee than having one plain boring block. -add more contrast becausw it's important for more diverse texture. -paints count as a different variety of block. It is great as well, and it also widen the possiblity of more creative structures and stuff. It also adds or blend in the theme of the room where the unpainted blocks and related blocks can't do. Another word of Khaois: 12:18 The sky is the limit, your imagination is the only limitation to a big extent 7. Rooms can be different depend on what you want 13:32 the primary material in it's room can be different -blending other wall as a wall support is great too, acts like a foundation and realism. -adding more details to the specific room makes it standout to other one, it's great for telling which room is the main one -windows, and fence is highly recommended, adding like a glass or wooden fences variety fitting to the theme of the house makes it more realistic. -your roof varied depending on your style and the theme of the house. 16:25 Khaios style on roofs 16:55 medieval theme -add stone related block accent -add slit (hammered miscellaneous added stone) as it adds details -medieval roof can be made by adding slabs and other varieties that don't blend together. Forming them into a medieval castle. -have a medieval theme for sides depends on your choice. -having a thin roof is great preceeded that the upper object on top of it will sustain the thickness. Khaios puts a brown leaf as an added roof details -adding layers to the outside pillars as shows in no. 5 (pillars, beam and supports). Adding walls behind looks like there's a room unable to be access which makes it weird but feels 3d. -filling the remaining unwall gaps on the door by fence makes it complete. Walls can be added too but some may prefer beams instead or fence for they allign to the structure more. 22:29 and that's it. i gave up.

Step one: Deal with wooden/dirt/stone shoe box houses at the beginning until you get at least your respective evil's gear, and maybe the mining set for efficiencies sake. Step 2: Go on a resource gathering rampage, and compile every block you can. Step 3: Lay the blocks that interest you most in a 3x3 cube suspended in the air next to each other to compare, mix and match them to find ones that blend well. Step 4: look at your shoebox, no matter how high, or wide you've stacked it to put the NPCs in, and make it work. Take the external walls, and branch them out in all kinds of wacky shapes, and tie them all together with a decent roof, then, once the shape is acceptably unique, put the blocks you've chosen into the build by replacing the wooden walls, outer blocks, etcetera. Step 5: Understand that you're not making the Mona Lisa. Perfection is for nerds. Don't fall into the pit of "it's not good enough" because it'll make you stop building altogether. Step 6: Hit that grind, gamers. Do this process over and over in Journey mode so you have infinite resources to work with. Every step is a step forward towards your improvement. Step 7: You look very nice today, did you do something different with your look? It looks good on you. Have a good one, and go for broke!

@@Khaios love your vids, you should definitely do a tutorial on making a sci-fi themed house or something

[@Crazykidthree33]

Personal comment for leaving notes to myself, but feel free to take a look: 1:42 - Adjust room size for a rectangular look. Consider having the roof lower than max build height more often in my case. 2:19 - False foundation for greater detail under house. 5:20 - Increase wall and roof thickness for bigger houses. Can add more detail this way. 6:50 - Vanity rooms that serve no purpose other than to improve the build. 7:14 - Vary roof heights for floors and rooms. 10:12 - Vary block surfaces beyond just floor/wall and ceiling. Have a different block for different walls that serve as passages that lead to the next room versus walls that see the outside of the building, or ceilings versus the roof or second story floor. Vary walls per room rather than the whole building being two or three types of walls. 14:20 - Large bamboo and brown paint makes great wood alternative for walls and tiles. Used as supports here, but later used as a ceiling tile at 27:41. 19:13 - Adjust roof thickness based on the type of roof you desire. Thatched roof example included. 21:00 - Use walls to create the illusion of accessible rooms. Not mentioned in video, but can use invisible teleporter trick here to make the pseudo room accessible. 21:53 - Use fence for 1 tile walls that don't bleed out from where the structure should end. 26:58 - Use thrice hammered platforms to add to roof detail, or leave it as normal along a ceiling for a nice rim detail pictured at 41:40. 28:30 - Modern supports example. Also a reminder to give actuators a try. 30:20 - White paint and titanstone looks like concrete. 30:40 - Allow indoors to be more boxy for modern designs by not having corner accents. 31:10 - Consider alternative methods for defined rooms outside of placing a clear doorway. 34:08 - White painted snow wall for plaster. 34:49 - Beams and pillars to accent walls. Also features, asymmetrical symmetry for modern builds. More clearly said, you want things to align well with each other but not be entirely symmetrical. 37:20 - Accent walls aligned with gaps between pillars/beams work well together. 38:03 - Consider breaking walls for detail. Cracks can serve to be more than what's supposed to be broken and instead look like window framing or gaps where things can slide in and out. 39:32 - Builders hate him! This advanced trick invalidates broken wall gaps by using the invisible "echo" block. Click the timestamp to learn more! 40:00 - Sometimes accent wall tops and bottoms instead of floor and sides like I normally do. 40:20 - Use platforms and furniture to hide the broken wall gaps that leave ugly overhang.

[@lazer86]

Thank you, Khaios!

[@michaelsotomayor5106]

Thank you, Khaios, for inspiring me to build. I have put over 1000+ hours in Terreria, and most of the time, I cannot be arsed to do more than make a wooden condominium for all of my NPCs at the start of the game. Now that the "happiness" mechanic has been introduced, I find myself actually having fun with my builds, inspired by watching your videos.

[@alexthememeboi1812]

Just a little tip: You can use fences as beams, just stack a fence on another and it'll pass through the block and look like a beam! Except it'll be thinner. Edit: Also, because it's a background item, you can place a beam over it, and it'll look like an extra layer, for more detail, you can place a full-beam over it, break a few, and it'll look like support for the beams!

[@JohnSmith-jp6pk]

everyone has known that since the beginning almost kinda basic plus khaios already knows most terraria facts so :P

Wicked tutorial man! Definitely opened my mind; I made an all glass “art gallery” to display every painting I find in the game. Thanks for the inspirational push!

This is such a fantastic guide. For a pretty long time I was very unhappy with my Terraria builds because I felt like they were incredibly basic and boring. I eventually got better but after watching this video I never realized that I'm still lackluster in building homes. I would definitely like to see you making a build tips video for furniture and possibly one for natural (or unnatural) terrain.

[@deaconaligood]

this video really helped me learn quite a few building tips, such as the bamboo strategy, letting me learn how important paint really is Infact, I used this video to build a cozy, winter shack embedded into a mountain, with snow on the top that also has trees

[@reid.lawson]

I really like to use wrought iron fences as windows in medieval builds, and also as a spike to top a curved roof. Another favorite is using rich mahogany/ ebonwood fence painted brown as support beams, but I think that large bamboo walls are a new favorite. Rich mahogany walls painted brown are also a great horizontal wood beam, and I really like using blue and green tiled walls painted brown. I use these interspersed randomly as a stone backwall, and they look great

dude thank you so much khaios I built a build largely based off of the first build but instead of using leaves, I used hay. it worked pretty well but I had added alot more housing in the build. just wanted say that you are such a big help and your builds can't be compared to mine. your build are the best I've probably ever seen, from the simplest builds to the hardest builds. keep of the good work ❤❤❤❤

[@thomashannah3849]

You always manage to make me smile, my builds often start off as a great imagination, however as i slowly delve deeper into the build i start to lose passion, however when i watch you you really help me to push myself toward my goal, and you helped me to finish my NPC pylon network which took a few months to construct, i have been playing for years but im having the most fun since i discovered you

[@catboywinterlyons6554]

Khaios is Terraria’s architect... soon he’ll make a much better golem temple or dungeon or even floating islands... imagine the possibilities... also love these types of videos... keep up the great work ☺️

[@shadowdemonaer]

[@Fox_BoyoHeheh]

i havent yet build with these tips but i already love it

[@yoshibutimterrariapixelart1923]

My friends and I continuously make new worlds to cooperate on, and we've completed the game many times. I am the worst builder of the bunch by far, but I've started trying to improve. Making houses on top of lakes, built into hills and such, little town decor, I'm always trying to make new things. This video really helped me get better, even though I might've started improving before watching this, it'll still help in the long run. Thank you!
