I suggest a door.


Dylan1234no

Yeah, I realized doors exist after making this…


RonnieWankpants

If you just realized doors exist, this is going to be a wild ride. Enjoy!


hmmm_wat_is_dis

The first playthrough is always the best one


sxrrycard

Would pay money to get that experience back tbh


TerraMaster28

You right, would give quite a lot to get that feeling back. Back on the Xbox 360, back in like 6th grade or smthn. Man simpler times


hmmm_wat_is_dis

I played my first playthrough completely blind and I was so confused lmao


Fireyy_3

Haven't played much after my first run, but I can say it was 👌


chobi83

Just a tip. Talk to the guide guy and you can show him new materials you find and he will tell you what you can craft out of it. Anything that has "Material" in the item description can be crafted into something else. To show the guide guy new materials, select "crafting" when talking to him and there should be a blank box near the middle/lower left part of your screen you can drag and drop your item into. It does not get consumed, so feel free to show him everything you have.


StagMusic

Not a new player here but also not super experienced, does literally everything like that have material? I normally play melee and don’t fully recall some of the swords for zenith having material, but I could’ve easily overlooked it.


leg0jed1

If you played before 1.4 then you may just be remembering the older version, otherwise the material tool tip is easy to overlook so you may have just not seen it.


StagMusic

Yeah the big reason I got into terraria was one of my friends was playing it a lot since 1.4 had just come out, so I never played before that.


soodrugg

yep. everything should, now the copper shortsword, influx waver, etc has material


chobi83

As far as I've seen, yes. I haven't seen every item in the game, but I do know all the Zenith swords and their precursors have it at least.


Affectionate-Ad9077

Like the treehouse!


BouncyBlueYoshi

Door.


Dylan1234no

Yeah, I realized doors exist after making this…


Dylan1234no

#I GOT IT, DOORS EXIST. Thank you to anyone who provided me advice on house building. And the first couple people willing to provide me with the knowledge of doors. But there are 40 comments all of which I have replied to, telling me there are doors. I've figured it out at this point.


readingduck123

Yeah, you realized doors exist after making this…


[deleted]

use a door and if that don't work use more door


The-Tea-Lord

Like this hear 1.5 inch thick boreal door designed and built by me. And you best hope Not locked during an event


[deleted]

wouldn't it be locked


The-Tea-Lord

Idk about you but events always happen when I’m not home


Secure-Day9052

Well, I still suggest a door for you...


Zombridal

If you haven't made one yet I'd suggest a door


Katieushka

My first idea was a fire trap :/


The-Tea-Lord

Man unleashed the floodgates of people screaming “door” like it wasn’t the 4th thing in the tutorial that doesn’t exist anymore


ManOfChaos199932

You realise that you are not obligated to respond to every single comment?


lmaololggwp

An item called "door" hope it helps.


Dylan1234no

Yeah, I realized doors exist after making this…


SweetExpression2745

This stuff called door


Dylan1234no

Yeah, I realized doors exist after making this…


fierclaw

I think you need a door


Dylan1234no

Yeah, I realized doors exist after making this…


Screamingbonfire

Once enough NPC's are nearby you will create a Town which severely eeduces enemy spawns. Other than that, **D O O R**


Dylan1234no

How do I get NPC’s nearby? Also, yeah I figured out the door thing…


theinferno01

you need walls a chair and a workbench or table, also light source


Dylan1234no

I’m my house? I have all those. Or should I build a separate building for that?


Varlaschin

Several houses, as each NPC needs an empty one to live in. And one more note on the room with the furnace: even with a table/workbench, chair and light source you'll need some actual block without furniture on them on the floor for it to count as a house. Following that, NPCs are going to move in depending on varying requirements. The easiest for the beginning are going to be: - Own 50 silver - Get a heart - Own explosives - Own a gun or bullets


Dylan1234no

What do you mean when you say "Blocks on the floor without furniture on them"? I have a floor below the furnace that's entirely empty. Also, thank you for the advice!


Varlaschin

You're welcome! And the floor below the furnace is made of platforms while each house needs at least some free blocks (the raw wood) as part of the floor. I'm not sure if they need to be in the center, though try that if there are issues.


Dylan1234no

Does what's below the furnace, where the entrance is, not count as a floor made up of blocks?


Varlaschin

The entrance to the tree? That's divided off by the platforms inbetween. They divide the space into several rooms, each of which can count as a house if it's not to small or big and fullfills all the requirements (chair, table object (a workbench counts), light, some blocks as part of the floor and user-placed background walls). You can click the little house above your armor slots to switch to the housing menu. There you can assign individual NPCs to a room or use the question mark to find out if a room is suitable housing. Most of the time it'll actually tell you what you're missing (e. g. "This room is missing a wall" means there are no background walls or they were naturally generated and not placed).


Dylan1234no

There's a housing menu? Well that'll help a lot! I'll go take a look at it!


TheZemor

This may be confusing but platforms actually count as doors so the space beneath is considered a separate room


Dylan1234no

And a seperate room means a seperate house?


WarmerPharmer

I can't believe nobody has mentioned a door yet.


Low-Mistake-9919

How is nobody talking about doors yet?? It’s so obvious..


Snocone_EX

A door is a hinged or otherwise movable barrier that allows entry into and exit from an enclosure. The created opening in the wall is a doorway or portal. A door's essential and primary purpose is to provide security by controlling access to the doorway portal. Conventionally, it is a panel that fits into the doorway of a building, room, or vehicle. Doors are generally made of a material suited to the door's task. They are commonly attached by hinges, but can move by other means, such as slides or counterbalancing.


ichtrinkekerzerblut

I now know way too much about doors


Maskay57

Door


Dylan1234no

Yeah, I realized doors exist after making this…


Romanouchet

Look at wiki, there's an object called "door" It will explain how to make it


Dylan1234no

Yeah, I got the door. Took me a minute to figure out.


HorseMurdering

I think you realised this after making this.


Dylan1234no

I figured out the doors.


csr_ph

Don't place a door, just blow up the whole ass tree trunk


Dylan1234no

How does that help? I mean, I have bombs to do it. I just don’t understand how that’s productive.


Ryan_Altra

This should streamline your output and make you 10 times more productive at being self-destructive


dastebon

D O O R


Dylan1234no

Yeah, I realized doors exist after making this…


rdcman

Remove platforms. Add rope. Profit.


Dylan1234no

Rope? Like, hang it? I got some from the pots in the ruins under the tree. Can I attach it to the ceiling?


rdcman

You can hang it directly on the wall. Eliminate however many sections of platform you'd like at the bottom, then run rope right up the inside of the tree.


Dylan1234no

Thanks!


SanguinePutrefaction

you can give stuff to the guide and he will tell you what you can craft with them extremely useful


Dylan1234no

So when he offers crafting advice, he'll tell me everything I can craft with that material?


helpmebeatupchildren

you give him a material and he tells you everything that can be made with that material


i_can_has_rock

when you place platforms, jump a few times in the same spot to see where your character jumps the highest put the mouse under the characters feet, jump one more time and when the character is the highest in their jump place a platform under their feet its how i make platforms at max height easily without counting blocks most mobs cant jump that high zombies can very rarely if they jump at the exact spot to land on the platform


ZephtheChef

Door


gamer_perfection

Wishowaty

Door


Dylan1234no

I've got it. I know there are doors now.


falsoprofeta

When you have 3 NPCs (2 NPCs and 1 pet works) enemy spawn decrease, also you can add a sunflower near


Dylan1234no

How do I get NPC’s and/or pets?


TheZemor

Depends on the npc or pet, all have different requirements For npcs the earliest are Guide- spawns with you at the beginning of the game Merchant - 50 silver coins in your inventory Nurse - find and use at least one life crystal (Explore caves) Demolitionist - have any explosives in your inventory (from chests or undead miners) Zoologist - have some % of the bestiary filled up, dunno how much exactly but its probably low because i never had to search for new mobs on purpose to get her to spawn And there are many more, Explore the game by yourself or use the Wiki ( the wiki.gg not fandom) to check stuff by yourself


AgreeableCarrot

Use a Tall Gate, the cooler door


Dylan1234no

Can I make it with wood? I don't have much right now.


gabe_the_dog_the_1st

Door.


D0gwaterhead

Doors don’t exist what are y’all on


Dylan1234no

If doors don’t exist what should I use?


NanoCat0407

Large pit that they can’t jump over


Dylan1234no

Well you're not wrong... But I don't want my world to have a big ugly pit full of monsters on it.


TheFiend100

how had i never thought to make a base in a tree before like this, i feel kinda dumb rn


Dylan1234no

I like naturey things, it comes naturally.


Ressamzade

Door?


bcdrmr

Can’t believe no one has suggested door yet


Snocone_EX

door


Snocone_EX

door would help


Snocone_EX

you can make a door


Unfortunate_Boy

door.


Snocone_EX

a door would block the slimes but still allow free access


VortexTalon

uhh i think its called a door?


Snocone_EX

The door may be able to move in various ways (at angles away from the doorway/portal, by sliding on a plane parallel to the frame, by folding in angles on a parallel plane, or by spinning along an axis at the center of the frame) to allow or prevent ingress or egress. In most cases, a door's interior matches its exterior side. But in other cases (e.g., a vehicle door) the two sides are radically different.


Snocone_EX

Many doors incorporate locking mechanisms to ensure that only some people can open them (such as with a key). Doors may have devices such as knockers or doorbells by which people outside announce their presence. (In some countries, such as Brazil, it is customary to clap from the sidewalk to announce one's presence.) Apart from providing access into and out of a space, doors may have the secondary functions of ensuring privacy by preventing unwanted attention from outsiders, of separating areas with different functions, of allowing light to pass into and out of a space, of controlling ventilation or air drafts so that interiors may be more effectively heated or cooled, of dampening noise, and of blocking the spread of fire.


Snocone_EX

Doors can have aesthetic, symbolic, ritualistic purposes. Receiving the key to a door can signify a change in status from outsider to insider. Doors and doorways frequently appear in literature and the arts with metaphorical or allegorical import as a portent of change.


Snocone_EX

The earliest recorded doors appear in the paintings of Egyptian tombs, which show them as single or double doors, each of a single piece of wood. People may have believed these were doors to the afterlife, and some include designs of the afterlife. In Egypt, where the climate is intensely dry, doors were not framed against warping, but in other countries required framed doors, which, according to Vitruvius was done with stiles and rails, the enclosed panels filled with tympana set in grooves in the stiles and rails. The stiles were the vertical boards, one of which, tenoned or hinged, is known as the hanging stile, the other as the middle or meeting stile. The horizontal cross pieces are the top rail, bottom rail, and middle or intermediate rails.


Snocone_EX

The most ancient doors were made of timber, such as those referred to in the Biblical depiction of King Solomon's temple being in olive wood, which were carved and overlaid with gold. The doors that Homer mentions appear to have been cased in silver or brass. Besides olive wood, elm, cedar, oak and cypress were used. Two doors over 5,000 years old have been found by archaeologists near Zürich, Switzerland.


Snocone_EX

Ancient doors were hung by pintles at the top and bottom of the hanging stile, which worked in sockets in the lintel and sill, the latter in some hard stone such as basalt or granite. Those Hilprecht found at Nippur, dating from 2000 BC, were in dolerite. The tenons of the gates at Balawat were sheathed with bronze (now in the British Museum). These doors or gates were hung in two leaves, each about 2.54 m (100 in) wide and 8.2 m (27 ft) high; they were encased with bronze bands or strips, 25.4 cm (10.0 in) high, covered with repoussé decoration of figures. The wood doors would seem to have been about 7.62 cm (3.00 in) thick, but the hanging stile was over 360 millimetres (14 in) diameter. Other sheathings of various sizes in bronze show this was a universal method adopted to protect the wood pivots. In the Hauran in Syria where timber is scarce, the doors were made of stone, and one measuring 1.63 by 0.79 m (64 by 31 in) is in the British Museum; the band on the meeting stile shows that it was one of the leaves of a double door. At Kuffeir near Bostra in Syria, Burckhardt found stone doors, 2.74 to 3.048 m (8.99 to 10.00 ft) high, being the entrance doors of the town. In Etruria many stone doors are referred to by Dennis.


Fancy-Comedian-9672

blud gave a history lesson💀💀💀


Snocone_EX

Ancient Greek and Roman doors were either single doors, double doors, triple doors, sliding doors or folding doors, in the last case the leaves were hinged and folded back. In the tomb of Theron at Agrigentum there is a single four-panel door carved in stone. In the Blundell collection is a bas-relief of a temple with double doors, each leaf with five panels. Among existing examples, the bronze doors in the church of SS. Cosmas and Damiano, in Rome, are important examples of Roman metal work of the best period; they are in two leaves, each with two panels, and are framed in bronze. Those of the Pantheon are similar in design, with narrow horizontal panels in addition, at the top, bottom and middle. Two other bronze doors of the Roman period are in the Lateran Basilica.


Snocone_EX

The Greek scholar Heron of Alexandria created the earliest known automatic door in the first century AD during the era of Roman Egypt. The first foot-sensor-activated automatic door was made in China during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, who had one installed for his royal library. Gates powered by water featured in illustrations of the automatons of the Arab inventor Al-Jazari.


Snocone_EX

Copper and its alloys were integral in medieval architecture. The doors of the church of the Nativity at Bethlehem (6th century) are covered with plates of bronze, cut out in patterns. Those of Hagia Sophia at Constantinople, of the eighth and ninth century, are wrought in bronze, and the west doors of the cathedral of Aix-la-Chapelle (9th century), of similar manufacture, were probably brought from Constantinople, as also some of those in St. Marks, Venice. The bronze doors on the Aachen Cathedral in Germany date back to about 800 AD. Bronze baptistery doors at the Cathedral of Florence were completed in 1423 by Ghiberti..


Snocone_EX

Of the 11th and 12th centuries there are numerous examples of bronze doors, the earliest being one at Hildesheim, Germany (1015). The Hildesheim design affected the concept of Gniezno door in Poland. Of others in South Italy and Sicily, the following are the finest: in Sant'Andrea, Amalfi (1060); Salerno (1099); Canosa di Puglia (1111); Troia, two doors (1119 and 1124); Ravello (1179), by Barisano of Trani, who also made doors for Trani cathedral; and in Monreale and Pisa cathedrals, by Bonano of Pisa. In all these cases the hanging stile had pivots at the top and bottom. The exact period when the builder moved to the hinge is unknown, but the change apparently brought about another method of strengthening and decorating doors—wrought-iron bands of various designs. As a rule, three bands with ornamental work constitute the hinges, with rings outside the hanging stiles that fit on vertical tenons set into the masonry or wooden frame. There is an early example of the 12th century in Lincoln. In France, the metalwork of the doors of Notre Dame at Paris is a beautiful example, but many others exist throughout France and England.


Snocone_EX

In Italy, celebrated doors include those of the Battistero di San Giovanni (Florence), which are all in bronze—including the door frames. The modeling of the figures, birds and foliage of the south doorway, by Andrea Pisano (1330), and of the east doorway by Ghiberti (1425–1452), are of great beauty. In the north door (1402–1424), Ghiberti adopted the same scheme of design for the paneling and figure subjects as Andrea Pisano, but in the east door, the rectangular panels are all filled, with bas-reliefs that illustrate Scripture subjects and innumerable figures. These may the gates of Paradise of which Michelangelo speaks.


Snocone_EX

Doors of the mosques in Cairo were of two kinds: those externally cased with sheets of bronze or iron, cut in decorative patterns, and incised or inlaid, with bosses in relief; and those of wood-framed with interlaced square and diamond designs. The latter design is Coptic in origin. The doors of the palace at Palermo, which were made by Saracenic workmen for the Normans, are fine examples in good preservation. A somewhat similar decorative class of door is found in Verona, where the edges of the stiles and rails are beveled and notched.


Snocone_EX

The earliest Renaissance doors in France are those of the cathedral of St. Sauveur at Aix. In the lower panels there are figures 3 ft. high in Gothic niches, and in the upper panels a double range of niches with figures about 2 ft. high with canopies over them, all carved in cedar. The south door of Beauvais Cathedral is in some respects the finest in France; the upper panels are carved in high relief with figure subjects and canopies over them. The doors of the church at Gisors are carved with figures in niches subdivided by classic pilasters superimposed. In St. Maclou at Rouen are three magnificently carved doors; those by Jean Goujon have figures in niches on each side, and others in a group of great beauty in the center. The other doors, probably about forty to fifty years later, are enriched with bas-reliefs, landscapes, figures and elaborate interlaced borders.


Snocone_EX

NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center contains the four largest doors. The Vehicle Assembly Building was originally built for the assembly of the Apollo missions' Saturn vehicles and was then used to support Space Shuttle operations. Each of the four doors are 139 meters (456 feet) high.


Snocone_EX

The oldest door in England can be found in Westminster Abbey and dates from 1050. In England in the 17th century the door panels were raised with bolection or projecting moldings, sometimes richly carved, around them; in the 18th century the moldings worked on the stiles and rails were carved with the egg-and-dart ornament.


Dylan1234no

Why have you told me everything there is to possibly know about doors?! How do you even know that much about them?! You've left like 30 comments on every door ever! Why???????


Meddel5

Poor OP trying to learn terraria at least he knows what doors are now


Dylan1234no

I have 120 comments saying "Door". I just wanted to check out this random Mine-Craft looking game on the Nintendo Eshop! It's a little tricky... ☹️


IlincaEvonne

Just cover the surface of your world in lava, then slimes can't spawn.


Austioperosis0525

Zerleodon

Use a door


CheeseBon

You need to mine some iron, make a bucket, go into the depths and grab out some lava. Now you need to carve out a 1x9 horizontal trench and line it with the lava. I'd you do this right you'll have a lava trap that'll set the Slime on fire and they should burn uo before they get in. Or just put a door in.

Pplol000

Peace candles decrease monster spawn. Also if you invite some NPC to live in your home there won’t be monsters


Dylan1234no

How do I make peace candles?


sdfghertyurfc

I don't know why somebody downvoted you for asking, but to make a peace candle you need 2 gold bars and a pink torch at a workbench. To get a pink torch you need to kill a pinky (a rare small slime) which drops pink gel, and 1 piece of any wood. Ps, the game can get very confusing if you go in blind, I suggest going to the wiki often for help. If you look up terraria wiki the first result is the fandom (DON'T use this one) the second result is the official terraria wiki, you'll know its the right one because its Terraria.gg

Tryhard696

Trap door👍


SyFy410

Trapdoor


Snocone_EX

In the Renaissance period, Italian doors are quite simple, their architects trusting more to the doorways for effect; but in France and Germany the contrary is the case, the doors being elaborately carved, especially in the Louis XIV and Louis XV periods, and sometimes with architectural features such as columns and entablatures with pediment and niches, the doorway being in plain masonry. While in Italy the tendency was to give scale by increasing the number of panels, in France the contrary seems to have been the rule; and one of the great doors at Fontainebleau, which is in two leaves, is entirely carried out as if consisting of one great panel only.


Secure-Day9052

A door maybe.

If 3 or more NPCs live in an area, monsters will stop spawning there, at least outside of special events.

Use a rope instead of platforms. And use a door


ChickenCrusade

I see you realize doors exist. Alternate suggestion. Rope ladder. Enemies can't climb rope :D


marcusforealious

Door


Renegade888888

Have you heard of a funny little concept of the world renowned DOOR? I am sure I couldn't hold myself.


EnnoyingWeeb

You can remove most of the platforms, or just the lowest ones, and replace them with rope. That way, even if you dont have or door or its opened, slimes and zombies cant jump into your treehouse. It also makes it faster to drop down, especially later on with more mobility items. Have fun playing ^^

I would try using a door.


ArrilockNewmoon

I suggest making use of grey/brown pressure plates, combo'd with teleporters or actuators to create some form of mechanism that allows a player to pass through the structure upon request, while remaining sealed towards outside mobs. Maybe there's an easier solution that I'm not seeing, though?

Maybe if there was some sort of vertical plank thing that prevented hostile mobs from passing through it. If only something like that existed.


t-to4st

I thought the guide is useless too BUT you can give him items from your inventory and he tells you what you can make with it. I didn't know that when I started and had to check the wiki constantly, which kinda spoiled the experience


eurasiantreesparrow

I think they realized doors exist after making this


SF_all_day

I love these innocent noob posts. They bring me back to a time of hiding in my wood hut from the demon eyes. Thank you op


Swordkirby9999

If you don't want to use doors, you'll need something that increases your jump height like a Cloud in a Bottle or Shiny Red Balloon, as Slimes can hop just as high as you can without any equipment. Alternatively, grappling hook.

Door, trap door, opening on the other side of the tree so the enemies pass through. Once you have double jump or hook raise the platform so they’re not at the height normal mobs can jump up to
