The Potential of Terraria's Wiring. 

Discord : discord.gg/rYytmQuSMN 👾 I wanna do some sort of community event sometime soon ish also always done for video ideas

The life fruit farm is impressive but the real gem is the working airlock

Good job to YT recommendations for recommending this masterpiece only 11 minutes after launch

I think echo coating can be used on tellaporters so that could make the pipes look better

As funny as that bit was, after rewatching I realized you had 2 queen statues... darn I thought the zooligist was getting spicy.

The lack of summoner gear for a build in the jungle is true pain

instead of using darts you can just use an AND logic gate with one lamp

You can use echo paint to make teleporters invisible. I do this a lot in multiplayer to teleport my friends into dynamite traps

My favorite part of the Bible was when Adam stepped into a weird green pipe and got shredded to cheese by a giant flying skull

The npc extractinator could be useful for name cycling npcs

I misread the title as saying "The Potential of Terraria's Writing" and was expecting a completely different video, but I can't say I'm disappointed. I haven't watched the video yet, but I'm interested already.

...Did anyone else misread the title as "Writing" and thought this was gonna be about the lore LMAO

You could've used echo coating on the teleporters

My man just built a filtration camp in Terraria what the actual f

With wiring I made a sextant that displays the moon phase in chat because the angler didn't give me one.

Wiring is fun as heck and can actually be used for a lot of practical applications like mob switches, faster farms, boss cheese machines/ invincibility machines. Love the video and keep wiring dude!

My first attempt at terraria wiring was a blood moon lockdown button that barred the entrances to my prison base, and cycled lava on over it to keep mobs away. Now I just build my bases like 10 tiles off the ground. Keeps mobs and wraiths out.

the thumbnail on this looks AMAZING I love it so much :D

I spent like 3 platinum on wire once to run a teleporter from base to the dungeon in the first play through with my kids, as we were all having a hard time with the cultists and needed that nurse heal, not the most practical but hey, nurse stayed safe

The jungle farm working was unbelievable. I'll never look at this game the same way again.

Hey, just thought I'd chime in with something I learned about. Someone (From Scratch) on RU-vid created an 8 bit computer using wiring. It was so intensive that they had to recreate the wiring system with modding. The mod is called Wirehead - the main change has to do with the way the game handles what is connected via wire. By default, the game traverses each unit of wire and finds things to activate when a signal is sent. Wirehead changes it so that the game just knows what's at the end of the wiring, meaning it doesn't have to trace the whole wire length! Here's his video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zXPiqk0-zDY.html

Bro the jungle becoming a graveyard in after a jump cut killed me

4:25 I liked the fountain idea, I'm defiantly stealing that! 😂😅

You can use paint to help hide switches, buttons, and teleporters too. I like to make doors that look like old games you have to press "up" on to go through, to take players to a new room. On xbox, I would set up for example a wall, paint it black and put a nice looking little door frame to it, when player would teleport, it would take them somewhere in the house, (normally a room I have set somewhere underground, with surrounding area painted black to look like a single room like a bathroom). Or if I want to make a world feel 3D or flipped, I will do the same thing, and have you instead go to a duplicate of the house mirrored to look like you went to the otherside. Painting is a powerful tool for engineering. Either way, you did some cool stuff, and I hope it inspires other players to take a bit of time to learn and play with it.

you _cannot_ hit me with a futanari joke this late in my day

I like how a lot of these are very very simple. It feels like the video is satire, yet you actually create something fun and unique AND entertaining.

That "activate plantera with wiring" is useful in hardcore, so that you don't risk your life gettng chased to your arena or making a new one every time you want to fight her

That ending machine is actually really cool

no way you turned the mechanic into a stardew valley NPC

building in terraria in general is so underrated, the shapes are limited but you have so much more color and texture compared to minecraft this makes building more constrained but it also makes it fun and challenging

As a mincraft red stoner I accept your challenge to make crazy things in terraria

Hey nice videos I found you yesterday, keep going man

that well-made thumbnail really reeled me in, and the video is great!

first the snow gear vid, then enemy ai and now this im so glad youtube algorithm has been blessing your channel and keeps you on my feed, throughly earned a sub, hope to see you grow definitely deserve it :)

I usually use wiring to make an area off to the side of main base where no enemies can spawn, but I can flip various levers and switches to essentially turn on mob spawns on one side or the other (or both, which is default, when I'm not using it). And when the mobs DO spawn, they are led into a nice little lava-layer trap, so it's also a mob farm. Can't quite AFK Solar Eclipses once Mothron can spawn, and if I do it wrong Wraiths can get in. But it works for my purposes. And if ever I don't feel like dealing with the blood moon enemies, I can just 'turn off' spawns, and wait it out. Though... That part isn't as necessary, now that Sundials and Moonsdials are a thing, and reset when either of those events kicks in.

I think The alternating hook for the item elavator could just be a simple on and off hook on a timer, good video btw👍

I dont know where that sprite for the mechanic came from, but its super cute

Therapist: frontfacing mechanic is not real she cant hurt you Thumbnail: feontfacing mechanic

I love that you tried to get the NPCs to help with bosses and they just up and bailed 😂 Top 10 Anime Betrayals.

the human extractinator would actually be pretty decent for quickly shimmering them

looooooooooooooool loved this video bro, great edits and funny narration / mario references! Keep up the good work!!!

I used a 1 second timer with a fish statue with a pit below and around the statue. When it rains,you get infinite fish,or corrupt fish in a bloodmoon

2:18 you thought I wouldn't notice, BUT YOU PLACED TWO QUEEN STATUES! HAHA! >:D lol

You know it is a good day when Wild lmao uploads

Have you looked into T-Mec? They’re a dead terraria group that seriously broke barriers with wiring, computers, auto boss fights, clocks, airlocks etc. very cool stuff.

The airlock was actually super sick and just gave me an idea for a build, one recommendation i would make tho (and I’m gonna apply) is using grates under where the airlock is so water doesn’t fill the base bit by bit, make the water go under the airlock room so it stays dry

Shout out to the guy who made bad apple in terraria

A little trick, but the logic lamps can be used as one way gates. You can use an and gate woth 2 logic lamps on top. The bottom one is a buffer, and the top one causes the lamp to send a pulse when it is toggled

Redstone has on/off states. The wiring in Terraria is essentially just a pulse when activated. Contraptions are easier when you can hold a charge.

I appreciate this. Please try this again some time. Im sure there’s more you could do with the wiring

This is a high quality video. You deserve more subs man

These videos are always so high quality I love it

lmao the guy who made a computer inside terraria

Dude that water fountain idea is sick!!!! Well done

the foutain one is awesome + nice vid as always

I was going to comment something along the lines of "Terarria can make more computers easier but not much else, and Minecraft's can actually be useful" but like... these are actually SICK I may or may not build the Human Extractinator for my next calamity playthrough because being able to have on demand nurse anywhere in an arena is great

I love this reccomended, discovered this channel and i think it might be a master piece 👍

Cool vid! Will you make another part where you use logic gates for a password lock? Not very useful, but so is every other contraption except traps and teleporters, also actiovators for jungle farm. I think terrarians build less wirings that minecrafters redstone builds because they are pointless. Block farm are non-existent as we cannot break blocks with wiring, and underwater bases can just use bubble blocks. the fountain is dope though

You’re amazing for a small creator, content quality is the same as people with several hundred thousand subscribers, good job

bro just built a whole ass WORKING FOUNTAIN in Terraria 💀💯🔥🗣️

The foutain though... best idea i seen in a while

Good job to RU-vid recommending this only 5 months late

That water fountain is actually sick af!!!

Just use the steampunkers logic and timers you dont need long distance darts

just wait for a plantera bulb on the auto farm

When I used to play the xbox 360 version of terraria, I tried moving water from the ocean to spawn, and it crashed my game. I think that was my last time using wiring to this day.

Factorio laughs at this puny wire management

The Npc extractinator could be useful for farming Npc drops.

I deadass though it said ‘the potential of terraria’s writing’

Dunno if he's gonna see this 2 weeks after the video is out but you could have used echo coating to make teleporters invisible, it works like echo blocks but in the form of a paint so its really useful to hide stuff.

What an amazing thumbnail

That airlock was sick

there is a caveat to the automated life fruit bit. plantera's bulb wont spawn plantera if there's no player in its vicinity, idk how close exactly the vicinity is, but if you just go check on it midday or midnight when it wont shift for another couple minutes, then you're fine. alternatively set it up on a switch thats far enough away from the farm itself and then just toggle it on and off when its ready and you should be safe, unless they changed that post 1.4.4

one time i came up with a concept for a moon lord farm. first it brings you to the lunatic cultist where it will automatically summon the cultist and then automatically kill it without you dying. Then it brings you to the towers and somehow does something to make sure you dont die. not sure how to do that. after all that, moon lord spawns and you automatically kill it. super hard farm to make, and im not even sure if it is possible.

Liked and subbed when the mechanic started laughing at the guide rofl

I always love that mr kitty randomly put there ahaha

9:20 you could have used echo coating and actuate it so you can actually walk on the pipe

Use echo painting for the teleporters that would made then indivisible but sill available you can also use that for others

It's not that you can't make stuff with potential, but the more complicated it is the worse the game's engine handles it. For instance for each wire you put down the engine checks all 4 possible connection points it has. In other words, instead of them making a secondary array that verified where the wire was connected to (in the initial wire placing array) it just checks all the possible spots EVERY time it refreshes the clock - that makes it do 4 times more work for each single wire you place. 1 wire =x4 2,x8 3,x16 4,x32 5,x64 6,x128 7,x256, 8,x512 9,x1024 10,x2048, 11,x4096 12,x8192. After only 16 wires it's doing 131,072 extra calculations per cycle. After only 19, it's 1,048,576. After 29 it breaks over 1 BILLION USELESS OPERATIONS (1,073,741,824 to be exact) when if they'd written the engine mathematically it would use just 58 to do the same function. Yes the game does do a great job handling all that extra crap it's doing, well- but the point is it shouldn't need to- especially with how long the game's been out. (as an example Starbound's wiring system handles it properly. That said starbound's base game performance itself could be improved a good bit. That- terraria actually does well) If you had actually bothered to watch From Scratch's vid you'd know that, & also about the mod he wrote that eliminates that issue all together. (As reported by ThePrimeTime, From Scratch also got 3 real world job offers because of it.) Sounds to me like what he made in terraria has more potential than anything you've ever done- in both terraria & RL.

10:52 he has become the one thing he sought to destroy; a giant turtle.

I made a good pumping system for the Shimmer, it was for a reservoir and a release.

"make one big contraption" says the man that made a upside down hellavator for a damn heart

8:37 just use that one hook that teleports you

nice and enjoyable video 💯

This is sick as hell

The automated item Farm could work really good for a raid Farm

The elevator just needed one timer of like 1 second at the very bottom. It'll get hoiked all the way up

the fountain was amazing I might make it!

you could use hoiking to pull the player into the pipe and put the teleporter inside hidden in the darkness

yooo that was hellllla wild lmao

whats the name of the cool vanity items being worn at the start of the video? the set with the starry cloak and horned skull

Theres also a transmutation glitch that people found and a machine that gives you anything using wires.

Both are actually queen statue that is why the zoologist spawn 2:11

kinda cool creations ngl

Underrated channel of the day

Bro discovered a new glitch called a "Hoink"

you've never seen a mappy gaming video

NEW MASTER MODE VIDEO POG

I remember there is a youtube video of someone making pong in terraria with wiring.

That's kinda fun. Wanna do it with my world
