I made a house underwater in the ocean in my multiplayer and the tavernkeep has died hundreds of times, every day at 8:09 PM ingame in addition to several times per day
I remember one time, me and a friend made a torture chamber with wooden houses for the party girl, clothier and stylist. Every time they spawned, if they wanted to sit on their chair to do anything (which wasn't the way to do it since the table was like 10 blocks away), they'd have to jump up through a half tunnel made of spikes. Once they sat on the chair, they'd be slowly incinerated by lava. This would cause them to immediately sit back up from the chair, walk around aimlessly (while still burning), and fall back into the first room, where they would endlessly repeat the cycle, with no way out other than 1 tile wide platforms spaced out so they can't escape.
placing 1 singular torch in a sky island house is a classic (and good for sectioning off useless i mean less necessary townsfolk to make room for more)
@@KujiArgisia Yeah, at least Terrasteel doesn't jack up the rent, and there were no amenities to not be repaired in the first place. You get what you paid for.
the shoebox pillar made of unsafe dungeon brick walls sealed with a single platform door is what my angler and goblin tinkerer lives in, its active combat for them every time i walk by.
my favorite housing guideline jank is how it's possible for a house to be invalid, but then you place furniture *outside* the house and that makes it valid
Reminds me of when Gromek999 was making terrible "housing" in one of his series (don't remember the episode). He managed to make a house (almost) entirely of boulders. Also spikes are valid building blocks too so you could "improve" your design by replacing the one solid block with a spike block.
You forgot to use the least suitable furniture: torch(the one that has the lowest brightness), workbench and chair(the ones that are least comfortable or even painful to use)
Me waiting for the single mother to stop yapping about her child getting third degree burns from her lava bubble apartment so I can tell her I'm raising her rent by 250%:
I accidently figured out liquids don't get checked when I moved the angler into hell (where that demon spawn belongs) and lava got into his house, he would die from it (sorry, he'd "leave") and immediately move back in only to die again, it was blissful to watch him get eternal punishment by my hand
@@Archonoflogic Oh I know I was just memeing, in reality there is no hell ever mentioned in the Bible at all! It's a myth made to scare people into submission.
I made an unescapable hole in the world with a broken glass floor precariously dangling the Guide over lava, with hanging skeletons on the wall and the walls out of spikes, and this is about as bad as that.
Am I the only one who _hates_ that houses can be "too big"? I was building some cool mushroom house and spent like 30 minutes trying to fill it up as much as possible with furniture but it wasn't enough and had to split it into two houses lol
@@NotSnak The trick is to build them a _bedroom_ that is correct house size, and then you can make the entire rest of the structure whatever. NPCs don't need a chair and a table, they need a comfort object and a surface object, and you know what counts for that? A bed and a dresser. In fact, lots of furniture and crafting surfaces count as "flat surfaces". I would advise creating a journey world so you can test what items are viable, but generally, if it's something you can sit or lay on, it's a comfort item, and if you can stand on it or put candles/bottles on it, it's a flattop item.
Here's mine: "Sleeping with the Fishes". Requires: An ocean. You dig below from land, until you have a nice hole. Patch it up. Dig to the side of the ocean, but add a door before you open it to the water. Add a chair, a table, walls, and a ceiling lantern. Open the door, let it flood in. _"This housing is suitable."_
I've been slowly grinding out my last achievement which is supreme helper minion. Doing it on one save lol. I want to celebrate the 200th turn in by making a house in the underworld at the edge of the world. Having them fall down into it, but this... THIS gives me an idea on the conclusion!
"I wonder what the limits are on this housing okay cactus chair light over down there where they can't really use it the workbench being completely out of sight and a hoik loop trap they need to avoid or else all underground of course so they never see the light of day again"
In a multiplayer world, I made the angler’s house out of spikes and made it so he couldn’t reach any of the furniture. You took damage whenever you spoke to him, but it was well worth it
Usually to summon the mushroom guy above ground I just replace the grass on a sky island with mud/mushroom seeds and place a torch in the house. Bam, instant perfect house for him
Can we note the fact that by stacking teleporters and breaking the one at the bottom you can have literall floating chair and table, meaning that we can reduce a "house" to literal single platform as a door, a house made out of bubble blocks, filled with lava, floating furniture and move in the Goblin Stinkerer, now you have the "perfect house"
Ever since the painter spawned in a world me, my brother, and my cousin played on, he was cursed to spawn in the same underground house that was flooded with water, for an eternity, and the chat was always filled with just his death messages and respawn messages
I was expecting a house made of cactus boulders or with a conveyor into spikes, but I had no idea that you could just fill a house with lava while keeping it suitable!
There's about two ways to make a horrible NPC house: Practically impractical (The house presented here) Impractically impractical (Complete torture house with full wire contraptions)
This just reminds me of the NPC houses the Terraria Veterans build vaise some of them were basically just like the one in this video. Multiple of them were also build with just boulders as walls and floor
Bubbles being valid walls while also non-collision would be really nice for a nurse heal box, wouldn't it? Swoop in, heal, and fly right out again without getting stuck on any blocks
The boulder house will always be my favorite. A house made of boulders is a constant threat, a way to claim dominance over whomever lives there: at any time you can crash their house down upon them and they'd have no choice but to die.
I have a certain feeling that Terrasteel made this video shortly after getting Supreme Helper Minion achievement. Or getting scammed by Goblin Tinkerer out of 50 platinum.
Actually you can make the furniture float by using the tp glistch, if you place on the tp and then remove the block below the tp it will break but the furniture above will not
It's not a cursed torch, it's a coral torch. It's the only pre-hardmode torch that works underwater. You can tell if you pause the game when he holds it in hand, the sprite looks pink rod + blue flame, instead of cursed flame's bright green color.
other clasic designs includ the boulder house. the trap block house. and the varient lizard wooden spike block house. the meteorite/hellstone block house.
Dont let this distract you from the fact that i still dont know what item gives the glowy arm effect. (Its been a year since i started wondering) Guys. Please.
