I then added stairs on the second floor, which allowed access to the roof.įor the roof, I simply placed rows of three blocks, in a diagonal pattern. This Terraria house is a “dynasty” house, after all!Įssentially, what I did was stack two boxes on top of each other, and connected them with the rope. It may look like I added quite a bit compared to the previous step, so let me explain:įirst, I changed all the blocks to dynasty wood. Now lets move on to finishing the top half! Step Four This isn’t required, but I did this earlier to help get a better idea of what the end product would look like.Īt this point the layout of the bottom part of the house is completed. You may notice that I placed down some planked walls and the crafting stations. I also moved the basement entrance over to the left a little more, and connected the layers with rope. The main thing that I did is place the first walls of the house down: This guide is designed to show you the “stepping stones” of making a house, but it’s up to you to use your creativity to morph it into your own! If you want, you can build lower stairs, which is perfectly fine. Also, yes, I know this isn’t dynasty wood. I decided to build my house above the ground, so my staircases follow suit: I placed some crafting stations to make more building materials, but plan on moving them later. What you will want to do next is to build your stairs, and place your flooring. Once you have set your foundation, it’s on to step two! Step Two I might be getting ahead of myself, so lets go back to where we were. Remember that you can always go back to make some minor adjustments. You want to take these small steps until the whole “shell” of the house is built. What you should do is focus on one layer, maybe add a few details, and then move on to the next room/layer. People will often try to tackle building the whole house, and then get overwhelmed when it proves to be too much. It’s also good to start building from the bottom, and work your way up. This strategy will make building overall more efficient, and gives you a “bigger picture” perspective. I found that it is easier to just build (even if you don’t like it) and then fix it in the future.

My top suggestion for you would be to “build now, fix later”. For example, the entrance to my basement changed, to allow for easier access. It’s also important to note that these decisions you make early on about the house are likely to change (which is a good thing!). I used wooden beams to help mark the stairs.
