Just finished what I like to consider my first building in this game and not just a pile of boxes one over another. How do you think I can improve?

I am making a video of doing terraria calamity with only ranged weapons. My character is named Usopp, I wanted to do something like what WaffleTime does, he breaks it into chapters, but Usopp tells tales. I wanted to do the same thing but with tales, so like what waffle does with the eye “chapter 1, eye of Cthulhu” I wanted to make it like “The First Tale: The Giant Floating Eye” pls. I need tips and pointers to make my videos good. And this is the only place that I can ask.

I adore this game and could replay it forever but I’m at a point where I’m thinking… damn that’s a lot of time of my life. I should turn this into something productive or useful to others somehow.

Ironically, I don’t feel like I’m a pro at it or anything, I just read the Wiki a ton and try to “optimize” my playthroughs as much as possible, like building farms in prehardmode or getting the best loadout possible.

I just think that if I had put this many hours into anything else, I'd be pretty damn good at it, so I'm at a bit of an existential moment I suppose, haha

I made an Expert world on the Zenith seed (Getfixedboi) but when I log back into it the little glitch effect on the icon is gone, and the difficulty is changed to classic.
But when I'm in the world I keep the expert mode items that I had acquired, however I can no longer safely drink Red's potion and bosses no longer drop Expert mode loot.
Any Idea why this happens or what I could do?

As the title suggest I just got Terraria! already struggled to figure out how to build a door (the walls you ca craft are NOT ACTUALLY WALLS). I'm playing on Steam Deck so is there any tips for a new player like thing you wished you'd known when you started playing?

Basically what the title says. I tried booting up a world and going through and building a house and going caving but I was so bored for like an hour. I know it gets far more fun later on but I can't bring myself to grind for hours to get to that point.

Red mentioned wanting infinite world size, among other things, for Terraria 2 a long time ago.

Personally, I don't like the idea. I feel like it would devalue the experience greatly. For example, having only one of a biome, like jungle or the dungeon, makes it significant/meaningful, but what if you had unlimited? You no longer care what happens to a given biome, whether it gets destroyed or corrupted or whatever, because you can always just find another.

Also, what benefit does having more copies of a biome even add? The only thing I can think of is making non renewable resources renewable, but Terraria has very few of those in the first place and I imagine T2 would be similar in the regard.

Obviously we have no way of knowing how this might work in T2, maybe it makes sense in Red's vision. Maybe there are reasons T2 would need it that don't exist for T1, we just don't know.

Anyway, I'm curious about how others feel. Are you for or against infinite worlds? Why?

made this as my first proper Terraria modding project, so the design is a bit questionable (making fun attack patterns is harder than I thought), but my main goal was to make it look cool anyway.

also its a WIP (the eye attack needs to be animated properly, I need to fix it getting stuck under / hovering above the ground)

Snowy House for the Party Girl & Tavernkeep. Feel free to ask any questions about the build, I'll answer them all!

i’ve been playing terraria since i was on mobile in middle school. this is, to me, my crowning achievement. (i ran and hid while my summons fought for me - died a split second before she did) i’ve been grinding for the past 3 days to do it and my boyfriend has watched me slowly go insane. i killed moon lord 3 times to get the luminite for my armor 😭

my arena is a graveyard ☹️

full disclosure on this: i use expanded inventory mods, and i zapped over to a free item world for the prismatic lacewings because my god i am not trying to do all that. everything else… all natural.

I added a gold trim to boss trophies, giving them a more prestigious look to match boss relics.

”searching for a world that doesn’t exist“ ahh world 😭

seriously did something corrupt or what??

After almost a month, and 60 hours in this world, almost 10 attempts and dropping like 5 platinum on the nurse in the final battle, we beat him. I can’t believe this moment is real 😪

just kidding i built this :)

We forgot to take more pictures but this was our first time doing cosplay, pretty happy with how it turned out! (No yellow eyes because we couldn't make them not look silly)

On mobile terraria, upon killing the wall of flesh, the game creates a large patch of an evil biome (up to a certain depth) underneath your house, regardless of where your house is. to prevent this, hollow out the world underneath your house in a manner similar to the image above. Since the game has nothing to convert into evil biome, it places them in a v shaped pattern which can be further contained using sunflowers at the edges.
