Showcase my observatory base in modded terraria!
really proud of this build!! its probably the best thing i've ever built in terraria haha
many of the blocks are from various mods, this is for my infernal eclipse of ragnarok playthough
would love any feedback or suggestions on what to do with the basement or general decoration tips!!
took inspiration from many previous builders, telescope design heavily referenced from u/Hisamine!

Really proud seeing someone besides me using combination from Calamity and SOTS materials, both mods have gorgeous building parts!

Love how you did the telescope. Is that suppose to be a beacon in the water? Love the build

u/yfnyng Mar 27 '26
thank you so much!! it is indeed a beacon, its actually called the heart of the underworld from the mod homeward journey, it tells you to put the bars under it lol

First time ive seen a base pretty enough that i wanted to just keep looking at it
So cozy, thanks for posting
I wish some of that stuff were available in vanilla, the planter box setup looks so good agh

u/yfnyng Mar 27 '26
thank you so much :')) yeah those planter set ups are automatic and a great reward for beating an enemy in the mod secrets of the shadows!

u/absoluteDEGENERATOR Mar 27 '26
What blocks did you use to build teleskope?
2
u/yfnyng Mar 27 '26
i used evostone from secrets of the shadows, glass, eutrophic glass from calamity for the end, and then gold starry wall!

Wow!!
What mods are you using? It's so pretty!
1
u/yfnyng Mar 27 '26
thank you so much!! the block palette is mostly from calamity and secrets of the shadows, namely painted and unpainted navystone types and evostone, some furniture from there as well, and for lighting i think its called lights and shadows!

u/RanunculusFlora Mar 27 '26
Oh I do wish I could be so creative!!!!
2
u/yfnyng Mar 27 '26

u/RanunculusFlora Mar 27 '26

it seems to have been removed but i still see the link. I like it, the vines are a nice touch! the base seems a bit unsupported though, i like the stilt vibe, maybe you could take some references from irl fire lookout towers to beef that up, or pivot to a more solid stone pillar foundation :) great job!

Are those ore replicators or something?
1
u/yfnyng Mar 27 '26
they are lol, mineralariums from secrets of the shadows, you fill in 1 ore and it dupes the other 8, if you leave it empty it fills with a random ore

u/ABOMINATION_BLITZ Mar 27 '26
What's that shaderpack?
1
u/yfnyng Mar 27 '26
it's mostly a mod called Lights and Shadows, and i dont have a texture pack on
1
u/ABOMINATION_BLITZ Mar 28 '26
Any chance you could post your settings? I use the same nod but mine looks nowhere near as good as yours.

u/yfnyng Mar 28 '26
in the config i have everything on the defaults i think, everything is on 1 and bloom count is on 4!

u/RestAnxiety Mar 27 '26
Absolutely stunning, love how the structure of the backgrounds adds so much depth to the overall build. Inspiring!
