    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 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.

    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.

    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.

  • @AoBaiGaming
    @AoBaiGaming Před 3 lety +70

    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!

I made a newbie level castle on one of my worlds after watching a tip video. However, after seeing even just half of this video I've got new knowledge and ideas to make some super cool stuff. I paused the vid like 1/3rd the way through and added those 3 blocks to the corners of the rooms and used the hammer on em and it instantly made my rooms 2x nicer looking. The tips you give in this video are top notch man! Kudos to you! You're the man! I don't see the need to look to anybody else for terraria-related content. Keep it up! 👍

    Hi Khaios, I'm late to the Terraria party, just started playing a few months ago. (Yes, I was basically living under a rock for the last decade.) I just wanted to say that I deeply appreciate your skill, your demeanor, and that you share so much with your community. I hope you are not insulted by this, but I think of you as the Bob Ross of Terraria and I sometimes watch or rewatch videos just to relax. Thanks for being you.

    41:45 as soon as you added that white trim, it made the room look 3D. The floor looks like grey carpet, and the white trim looks like drywall ceiling, so it looks like you could walk "up" across the floor towards the glass doors, like whatever the Maniac Mansion perspective is called. Really cool technique.

    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

    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!

      It involves lava, actuators and yellow pressure plates on the left side and an unused, definitely maintained and supervised, totally safe, kill-box that definitely don't unleash a horde of zombies, among other hardmode terrors, in the very room the guide is in. (with the help of ""hoiked"" platforms against a wall)
      -
      Let's just say it's an experience knowing the guide, being the instrument of his own doom, may or may not unintentionally summon the wall of flesh in the random, unforeseen event he triggers the lava trap or an oopsie woopsie happens with the kill-box while a friend is busy in the underworld. ;D
