You can use paint to help hide switches, buttons, and teleporters too. I like to make doors that look like old games you have to press "up" on to go through, to take players to a new room. On xbox, I would set up for example a wall, paint it black and put a nice looking little door frame to it, when player would teleport, it would take them somewhere in the house, (normally a room I have set somewhere underground, with surrounding area painted black to look like a single room like a bathroom). Or if I want to make a world feel 3D or flipped, I will do the same thing, and have you instead go to a duplicate of the house mirrored to look like you went to the otherside. Painting is a powerful tool for engineering. Either way, you did some cool stuff, and I hope it inspires other players to take a bit of time to learn and play with it.

The airlock was actually super sick and just gave me an idea for a build, one recommendation i would make tho (and I’m gonna apply) is using grates under where the airlock is so water doesn’t fill the base bit by bit, make the water go under the airlock room so it stays dry

[@snepderg]

Hey, just thought I'd chime in with something I learned about. Someone (From Scratch) on KZbin created an 8 bit computer using wiring. It was so intensive that they had to recreate the wiring system with modding. The mod is called Wirehead - the main change has to do with the way the game handles what is connected via wire. By default, the game traverses each unit of wire and finds things to activate when a signal is sent. Wirehead changes it so that the game just knows what's at the end of the wiring, meaning it doesn't have to trace the whole wire length! Here's his video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sImzmqShZZKters

[@vitalexp]

Dude that water fountain idea is sick!!!! Well done

[@bennie1079]

I like how a lot of these are very very simple. It feels like the video is satire, yet you actually create something fun and unique AND entertaining.

[@1WolfFan]

I usually use wiring to make an area off to the side of main base where no enemies can spawn, but I can flip various levers and switches to essentially turn on mob spawns on one side or the other (or both, which is default, when I'm not using it). And when the mobs DO spawn, they are led into a nice little lava-layer trap, so it's also a mob farm. Can't quite AFK Solar Eclipses once Mothron can spawn, and if I do it wrong Wraiths can get in. But it works for my purposes. And if ever I don't feel like dealing with the blood moon enemies, I can just 'turn off' spawns, and wait it out. Though... That part isn't as necessary, now that Sundials and Moonsdials are a thing, and reset when either of those events kicks in.

[@Poo-f4j]

Good job to KZbin recommending this only 5 months late

[@murraymon]

That ending machine is actually really cool

[@elvendragonhammer5433]

It's not that you can't make stuff with potential, but the more complicated it is the worse the game's engine handles it. For instance for each wire you put down the engine checks all 4 possible connection points it has. In other words, instead of them making a secondary array that verified where the wire was connected to (in the initial wire placing array) it just checks all the possible spots EVERY time it refreshes the clock - that makes it do 4 times more work for each single wire you place. 1 wire =x4 2,x8 3,x16 4,x32 5,x64 6,x128 7,x256, 8,x512 9,x1024 10,x2048, 11,x4096 12,x8192. After only 16 wires it's doing 131,072 extra calculations per cycle. After only 19, it's 1,048,576. After 29 it breaks over 1 BILLION USELESS OPERATIONS (1,073,741,824 to be exact) when if they'd written the engine mathematically it would use just 58 to do the same function. Yes the game does do a great job handling all that extra crap it's doing, well- but the point is it shouldn't need to- especially with how long the game's been out. (as an example Starbound's wiring system handles it properly. That said starbound's base game performance itself could be improved a good bit. That- terraria actually does well) If you had actually bothered to watch From Scratch's vid you'd know that, & also about the mod he wrote that eliminates that issue all together. (As reported by ThePrimeTime, From Scratch also got 3 real world job offers because of it.) Sounds to me like what he made in terraria has more potential than anything you've ever done- in both terraria & RL.

[@futurep9094]

no way you turned the mechanic into a stardew valley NPC

[@lolzasouruhm179]

The bug diff between terraria and minecraft is there is a clear end to every terraria world where minecraft is a sandbox with optional quests. In minecraft it can be tedious and sometimes hard to get certain materials so farms are nessesary to get massive amounts of things like iron. If you’re a builder you might need chests on chests of materials! In terraria farms are mostly targeted to progression so mob farms and if you build traps for bosses people consider that cheating the game and the experience which I would agree with even though those insta kill boss traps are sick! Also with terraria being a 2D game the complexity of farms is limited since most pathing and spawning is simply around the player. To go back to building when you reach end game there are tools available that allow you to collect materials extremely quickly and most people don’t need a lot of materials when building and even then there aren’t many farms to get unique nice looking building materials. If there was a way to automate tree planting then you could make a tree farm but that’s not the focus of terraria so they never added that feature. What they do have is cool and you can do awesome stuff with it but I don’t think there will be a time where people are making contraptions to farm building blocks.

[@hi_ko_ni]

Cool vid! Will you make another part where you use logic gates for a password lock? Not very useful, but so is every other contraption except traps and teleporters, also actiovators for jungle farm. I think terrarians build less wirings that minecrafters redstone builds because they are pointless. Block farm are non-existent as we cannot break blocks with wiring, and underwater bases can just use bubble blocks. the fountain is dope though

[@Noncropiant]

Still not completely pointless though. You can break the block beneath and like that you can farm mushrooms/life fruit. It's just difficult and not everyone wants to build an automatic farm so they can get 600 mushrooms a day they will probably just end up dumping in chests anyway.

there is a caveat to the automated life fruit bit. plantera's bulb wont spawn plantera if there's no player in its vicinity, idk how close exactly the vicinity is, but if you just go check on it midday or midnight when it wont shift for another couple minutes, then you're fine. alternatively set it up on a switch thats far enough away from the farm itself and then just toggle it on and off when its ready and you should be safe, unless they changed that post 1.4.4

[@samuellees3534]

I found wiring pretty fun. Not very useful, but I strive to use it anywhere I can so it seems so, and it's cool. Like, I like to hook up parts of base to randomisers controled by other parts of base, like 1/10 door opens, a confetti goes, or like a pump system which fills tank A, uses fluid detectors to see when full, transfers to tank B then repeat. It has literally no purpose, other than to make my base COOLER... and elevators. I just sort of have a part of world that has complex circuits, which are just fun to accidentally interact with, like counters and tiny memory thingos and whatnot. Oh, also, my teleporters are hooked up to complex logic circuits and randomisers, just to mess with my friends. -sincerely Uel
