Spoilers ahead! Today, I wanted to go over what I think are the most important new blocks, items, and mechanics in the 1.4 update that help with building.

[@allieguillory7795]

Lol

[@Rosa_0000]

This. World gen fucked with my jungle, taking 3/4 of the surface of it by the Corruption , which i find even worse to clean with bombs than the Crimson. I wish mud bombs were a thing, it would have been much easier for me to terraform my jungle into existance.

[@stevan___]

I had to delete my first 1.4 world cause my jungle was coverd with crimson

[@bunbun2181]

Mud bombs would be a great toll for working in the jungle/ mushroom biom!

[@cleanwater3180]

A shame, but I guess it's for the fear of crimson/corruption still, if we could easily fix that, no worry anymore.

[@Kalmight]

Keep in mind, you need to have found a wet bomb from lava fishing, and have one in your inventory in order to buy more from the demolitionist.

Just look at the videos he has already. Find something you like and try to replicate it or be heavily inspired. I tried making something similar to his Sakura Festival and his Villa, and I can say with complete confidence that I'm a far better builder now. No more mono-walls for me lol.

[@PopcornMax179]

I found your channel after coming back to Terraria for 1.4, and I never really bothered to do any nice early game housing. I'm glad I found this channel, as I realise I can make decent houses pre-hardmode. I'm currently building my village with your various styles for roofs and boreal wood houses, because I think it looks luxurious. (I still need to get access to paint.) A stone tower to house an early hellavator. A mini graveyard biome on a bug round hill that overlooks the viliage. I want to build a crypt in the hill and a spooky shrieking shack on top of it. Then I will build a quary with some mineshafts as a boss Arena for the Eye of Chuthulu.

Games last addition I think I'll give it a try! Have always saw it but bow after 50hr looking for guides ^_^

[@koinekko]

I didn't know about specter blocks. Thanks.

[@PopcornMax179]

@Khaios Probably something for the future, for an anniversary milestone. But I've always thought it would be awesome if you were to assemble a load of your best/favourite builds from your channel and combine them (I assume one can copy-paste from different worlds with tEdit) all into one big playable map, and then do a tour of them. I don't know how easy that might be now due to the changes between versions, the Stone slab stuff for instance would have to be reworked to accented slab.

[@8eewee]

One thing regarding the dry bomb (quoting the wiki) You can buy more dry bombs from the demolitionist IF you have one in your inventory. You first have to get wet bombs from obsidian/hellstone crates and turn those into dry bombs.

[@milkmangreg871]

Man, these are some GRATE ideas

[@Gonno0]

Loved the video! What type of blocks are you using on that final building? Are you using several kind of different blocks painted with the same color?

[@naturalaura5258]

Oh, one thing you didn't mention I think should've had a place is the Slice of Cake. The Slice of Cake is an item you can obtain from the party girl upon speaking to her if someone is throwing a party! The cake acts as an action buff (Exp, Crystal Ball, Ammo Box, etc.), and this buff increases you mining speed for a couple minutes. Its handy to have around when you need to clear a lot of blocks.

[@SupaSpaceBunnies]

Hey Khaios! I love your videos :) but im curious how do you stay so inspired? Your builds and techniques are so cool

[@Khaios]

Inspiration comes from a lot of places, and varies from project to project. Largely, I'm motivated to keep going because there is such an amazing community forming around this channel! But as for individual inspiration for each build/video, that's really hard to answer since it changes every day.

[@MrDerpinati]

this will be so helpful as i am trying to make a troll world but i barely do any building

[@Soy_Bomb]

Fan Tip!; ( I doubt I'm the 1st to do this but for those who haven't heard...) I've found it helpful when attempting elaborate builds to plan similar you would in any drafting project. I use a GRAPH COMPOSITION NOTEBOOK. 📊📈📉📝📐📏✏✂🖇🗜💭⌚. The emojis are just to convey a bunch of loosely related concepts. They are unnecessary but lots of things are. I appreciate people that take this game seriously as a creative outlet

[@asamioth]

I could see dirt bombs being useful, maybe not for builds meant to look nice, but it will make filling in space for farms a lot easier.

[@Khaios]

Yeah. Ironically moments after I recorded me saying they probably won't be useful to me, I ended up using a bunch of them to fill a hole I made from the spawn point segment of the video, bahahaha.

[@avereynakama9854]

They're nice if, say, you want to fill in holes meteors leave.

[@Joandersonso]

The demolitionist only sells the liquid bombs if you already have one in the inventory. Kinda sux since you still being forced to fish in lava but alright, at least i didn't know that and it will be less grindy

[@SuperLedouze]

they're is another accessory you didn't talk about (maybe you didn't knew about it ) : the "step tool" allowing the character to reach 4 tiles higher than usually possible. found in surface chests or wooden crate ;)

[@Khaios]

Seems like I forgot to talk about a few things, hehe. Might need to make a short part 2 video later >.

[@bluestripes2092]

Hey khaios I was wondering what type of wall to use for a floating island Like for the bottom of the floating island but yeah I love the vids they inspire me to build something cool.
