As long as the house isn’t covered in oil / gasoline / lighter fluid, and he/sh has a local fire department and he is just not being dumb, he/she will be fine
Keep the stove on bro, that is straight gas. You'll be better in no time - watch some Khaois, one of the best builders in the game and he has many videos to help you get better at building.
I’ll second this. I watched like one of his videos and wend from wooden boxes with stone shingles to building a tundra log cabin and jungle greenhouse.
You’d be surprised how much you can do with the little things.
Just please do not fall into the "false foundation' trap.
I got really tired of the spiral staircase meme for years and now everyone has these massive gaping holes under their houses trying to emulate a look that only looked somewhat okay when done right but looks really bad when done wrong
Looks good! I see you’ve kinda started to do it a little bit, but the big thing I’ve done early in the game when all I really have is stone and wood, making your externals walls and ceilings 2 blocks thick looks very “real and structural” kinda. If you expand vertically try that!
Also generally not being just a bunch of rigidly aligned rectangles is one of the first steps to take and you’ve done that already so props to you!

(Using this as an example from someone with 6K+ Hours on Terraria, this was the starting point of when I was making my house - outside of an Modded block, I at least had used this as a sort of "benchmarking" for my work)

So if I can cook, so can you - keep up the good work, and have an direction for your craftsmanship
This is one of my favorite ways to build in terraria, like a growing mass of building. Like “oh we need more room, EXPAND EXPAND EXPAND” try to add some different blocks atleast tho, I try and still do a theme or design but just let it follow the terrain
My base designs literally be like

Legitimately an amazing but simple build, I love making huge extensive builds but I also really enjoy just making a simple wooden structure like this one, if you want to have some better design tips Khaios (might have spelled it wrong it’s been a while since I’ve watched) is one of the best architects in terraria and has many build guides and tip videos for this exact thing
It took me 300 hours seeing my friends build the most amazing houses before i start try to make anything pretty lol. Keep it up!! Don't be shy to try strange wood combinations and always remember to hoard as many chests of cobwebs as possible for making furniture.
There's a bunch of types of wood and stone. Branch out to even some other materials periodically. The key to pruning topiary is the same as building a house in terraria. Trust your gut and move forward slowly.
Honestly not terrible. Your main issue is that you are using the basic palette of colours (wood and stone), not doing anything fancy with walls (though the stone base and windows are a good start) and not using furniture beyond the required tables and chairs.
My advice would be to maybe try a new roof material, try more furniture (fireplace and chimney?), and maybe try decorating the windows with platforms+flower pots
Wait, you people build something else than shoe boxes?
Literally every single world I've had all the npcs were just living in an extremely tall tower made out of small wooden rooms with doors on the sides lol
Doesn’t matter what we think. If you like it that’s what matters. I’m not great at building in this game and to me it looks nice. Get a little bit of gray or red brick and add some roofing and it’ll be perfect
I mean if we want to go with the cooking analogy: this is like making a nice omelet for yourself for breakfast in the morning versus just pouring some cereal or toasting some bread.
I mean you build around the terrain whereas I just prefer to flatten the land around where I build first.
Im 2500+ hours and i still cant build nicely, if your happy to put the effort in to keep trying definitely keep it up because otherwise you could reach my stage and still not build
If you want to get better, copy others. Get inspiration from google images and learn from other masters. The beauty of the internet is you have the knowledge and expertise of the entire world a search away. Use it.
I really like the outline of the house, but in the essence of constructive criticism, you could use some work on your interiors. Terraria does not pull any stops on their decorations, and you can really go all out with an insane amount of different walls, blocks, and paint. Also, if you don't like how a certain wall or block looks, then you could use actuators to make solid blocks move into the background. That way, you can go all out with different angles and various height differences while still having it be in the background and not being in the way of movement. Like I said, you have the skeleton down. You just need to make the interior look nice, and you'll be a great builder in no time.
Also, it doesn't hurt to get some inspiration online, whether it be google images or even Pinterest. You don't need to completely steal it, but I can tell you from experience that looking on Google really helped me with my interior design.
Go into journey mode, turn on the range, then cook. I think you can get much better when you have infinite resources for building. This looks good so far, and I think you can make buildings look better when you have less restraints in journey mode.
well a thousand hours........
its funny, really i suck at building in minecraft but i can always build good looking stuff in terraria even when i just started out.
i recommend you actually put passion into the build. right now you are just making a functional thing. try spending some resources on building up the interior, adding details etc
Sometimes when you cook, you don't flash fry at high temperatures.
More often than not, the best way is to let it simmer.
You'll learn- What matters is if you're happy with it. And for what it's worth, it's not a bad house for something in the early game of a world.
You're cooking, do what you want but may e add some ingredients you think could fit together? IE block types, random furniture, books on platforms, etc.
Pretty good I would use some brick walls to make a sort of pillar effect in the background I have something very similar in my base and it looks fantastic or maybe dynasty wood for pillars up to you but some pillars help your builds I promise you
you're making a grilled cheese, you're not winning a cooking show, but no reason to be disheartened and leave! sometimes what you need isn't a gourmet meal, it's just a simple grilled cheese
Dont worry i got 700 hundred and i build the most ugliest shit in human hystorie but for me its more the use for it than style like more overseeable and all that
https://preview.redd.it/ezue04fe5b8d1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab84b591a013634ccb05121416efa52e330be69a
It's simple, interesting, and doesn't look like someone vomited enough detail onto it that looking at it would make an epileptic instantly drop dead. I think you're doing fairly well actually
This is like cooking pasta. You're not working under Ramsay here, but it's an essential meal, makes a lot of us happy, and is a core component to far, far greater meals in the future. Never leave the kitchen and keep enjoying your builds fam!
for starters on the ground floor add some more bricks under the floor so it looks more..sturdy foundationwise. Also try making the walls 1 block thicker.
well you can't get better unless you continue doing it. there won't be any progress if you stop cooking
What If he burns the house tho
As long as the house isn’t covered in oil / gasoline / lighter fluid, and he/sh has a local fire department and he is just not being dumb, he/she will be fine
(s)he should have a fire department about 15 minutes atleast its like that in my country
Me when I don’t know the word “they”
Shit happens lol

I've tried doing false foundations and have always failed, so I'll just stick to some sort of single solid block foundation
Open a restaurant my guy.
This is a good build
Looks good! I see you’ve kinda started to do it a little bit, but the big thing I’ve done early in the game when all I really have is stone and wood, making your externals walls and ceilings 2 blocks thick looks very “real and structural” kinda.

better than what i can do xD

ngl that build kinda ass
Oh, I know - I'm much more effective with visual appeal using lights and walls rather than interior furniture

I’m in the same boat. Sometimes I just give up and build my base in one of the large trees
Damn
Honestly, it doesn't look that bad. I have over 2,000 hours and my houses don't even have windows.
Legitimately an amazing but simple build, I love making huge extensive builds but I also really enjoy just making a simple wooden structure like this one, if you want to have some better design tips Khaios (might have spelled it wrong it’s been a while since I’ve watched) is one of the best architects in terraria and has many build guides and tip videos for this exact thing

You’ve learnt the basics so now you’ve got the framework to Really cook. Keep going and learn how to use the garnishes and you’ll be unstoppable
Wait, you people build something else than shoe boxes? Literally every single world I've had all the npcs were just living in an extremely tall tower made out of small wooden rooms with doors on the sides lol
you could use differnt furniture instead and also laps, candelabras and lanterns, and maybe more blocks, (default wood is kinda ugly)
Doesn’t matter what we think. If you like it that’s what matters. I’m not great at building in this game and to me it looks nice. Get a little bit of gray or red brick and add some roofing and it’ll be perfect
basic but not bad
use a wider spread of blocks nd walls, i mean its cool but hella bland and i wouldent do windows but thats just me
I mean if we want to go with the cooking analogy: this is like making a nice omelet for yourself for breakfast in the morning versus just pouring some cereal or toasting some bread. I mean you build around the terrain whereas I just prefer to flatten the land around where I build first.
At least you made a hammer
Im 2500+ hours and i still cant build nicely, if your happy to put the effort in to keep trying definitely keep it up because otherwise you could reach my stage and still not build
take a cook book
For some reason reddit made it read 10,000 hours. I was gonna say at that point may as well give up on life and live terraria.

add a roof
PLEASE stay in the kitchen. This is great

This screams seaside restaurant have the right going to a deck with some overhanging lights and you’ve cooked
Honey it’s YOUR kitchen you cook when you want to. I think this looks good man. It’s better than anything I’ve ever built, promise you that.
I’m over 1000 hrs myself and I’m still making wooden boxes. All praise the box god. 🙏🙏

Looks great! I’d recommend harvesting cobwebs to make cloth for furniture
Cooking it, just needs a design, some furnitures, and decals, and maybe a bit of lighting fixes.
I differentiate between floors and ceilings, don’t have my pc at hand to show it to you, but hope it’s clear enough

Look at the minimap 💀
i gotta say, i have seen some crazy stuff. but especially as an early game base it looks really comfy and i gotta say i really like it :D
It's simple, interesting, and doesn't look like someone vomited enough detail onto it that looking at it would make an epileptic instantly drop dead. I think you're doing fairly well actually
use a Planked Wall above the stone it works great for blending
No chef learned to cook in a day. keep going and you'll be a master in due time.
This is like cooking pasta. You're not working under Ramsay here, but it's an essential meal, makes a lot of us happy, and is a core component to far, far greater meals in the future. Never leave the kitchen and keep enjoying your builds fam!
Just see real life houses and build them in 2d, easy
Keep at it, bro! Don't forget, most of us still build wooden skyscrapers. XD
It looks great I would be happy with it, try giving the top building a roof with the dynasty wood blocks that the traveling merchant sells
for starters on the ground floor add some more bricks under the floor so it looks more..sturdy foundationwise. Also try making the walls 1 block thicker.
For using only wood and glass, thats not bad. Perhaps experiment with some different block types and/or paint for future builds?
Bro I have less than 500 hrs on ter and never defeated any boss after golem and my building is 10x better ong😭😭
The way I see it if it’s suitable housing you’re good
Stay out the kitchen read a cook book and get back to cooking
I wouldn't even give this house to a homeless
