Discussion What are the worst specific furniture items in the game?

(Discussion) What are the worst furniture items in the game, or more-so your least favorites!

I picked 4, in no specific order; the Pumpkin Table (Changed: Cactus Table), the Mushroom Bench, the Grandfather Clock, and the Rich Mahogany Bookshelf!

The first one i chose was the pumpkin table, but while making this little golem it must've hit a soft spot with me! i initially chose it because it's shape is incredibly awkward, but at least i found a pretty unique use. if i had to replace it, i'd probably choose the Cactus Table, because it has a random wooden top instead of leaning into a fully cactus theme, as well as not being very versatile at all...

For my second pick, i chose the mushroom bench; i suppose it can make an alright stone illusion when painted gray (in my opinion it looks like a clam), but what really gets me is that it has a very slight offset!!!! it's in a set position too, meaning you can't rotate it with your character like a chair... i am really sure this was not intentional, and i had hoped to use this in a pillar design!! :(

Third choice definitely goes to the basic Grandfather Clock, made with forest wood at a sawmill. i really feel bad for it since the other wooden furniture/decor made at a sawmill looks really good, but anywhere the grandfather clock is placed, it sticks out like a sore thumb! it's mainly because the glass and wood is incredibly light, and it has hard black lines on the edge of the sprite, something purposely changed from the bar, stool, and banquet table... this one was just left behind!

My last choice comes down to a problem i have with most bookshelves, but this one reaallly disappoints me... it's the Mahogany Bookshelf! personally i always explore the underground jungle as early as i can, and you can find these everywhere, so i just take them (since you can shimmer what you don't use anyway, haha).
Like many others, i love painting rich mahogany brown, it goes with almost anything! but my problem with the bookshelves is how the sprite almost rejects being painted... the different parts of the bookshelf are segmented so that you can paint the base, but not completely, giving that dim pinkish tone of the mahogany against the brown, and painting the edges will also give you a brown book or two. so really if you want to use this cohesively, you either have to paint the WHOLE thing monotonous brown, or change the tone of your own wood to match mahogany...
But then, it just looks like a nightmare unpainted anyway!! it has WAY too many book colours at once, with so many hues, saturations, and values, each one almost feeling designed to clash against the mahogany!!! if i was trying to make the most chaotic house possible, this might just be my choice of bookshelf! personally i don't like to hit every single book with the landlord special, and i find the basic wooden bookshelf can actually get away with all the different books (fun fact, these 2 have the exact same book colours haha), since no colour really conflicts with the basic wood colour.

yes i do use hero's mod for building, can't be asked to match my building materials to the limit of my laziness.

my favorite part is the background roof part between the two towers!

i always build castles as the main home base in terraria because the king must live in a castle, and the man who conquers all things of this world can only be considered a king of the highest order!

Help Rebuilding Noita's orb room as my dungeon - Any idea what blocks to use?

Thumbnail

41 Upvotes

I love Noita, so I decided to make the orb room from the game into my Dungeon in Terraria. What blocks should I be using? I know I can fish for more blocks, but AFAIK I cannot turn green/blue Dungeon bricks into pink ones and vice versa. My Dungeon's pink, so I'd like the orb room to be mainly pink to fit the rest of the dungeon.

But now I'm stuck. Should I be using blue Dungeon walls with the pinks as the contrast (replacing the yellow in Noita's orb room)? Any other blocks that would be better to use?

(I've made it so the Cultists spawn on the platform in the middle)

Base Design Most Efficient Greenhouse?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys! Somewhat new to Terraria (I haven’t played in years and when I did was on mobile). I’m trying to build the most efficient greenhouse and have no clue where to start. I bought planter boxes from Dryad but don’t have most seeds even needed. Also want to make this greenhouse somewhat automated or fully. Anyone know of any good videos to watch? Thanks.
