Terraria: Building a house - the best tips to start with

As a 2D adventure, Terraria offers plenty of opportunities to let your own creativity run wild. In this guide, we have summarized how you can build your first house and start your adventure with it.

Terraria: preparation for the first house

After you take the first steps in the new world and have the guide explain the basic game mechanics, it's about finding a place to hide for the first night.

• You need an ax to cut down trees. This should already be in your inventory, as well as a pickaxe.
• Pick a tree and click the bottom to cut it down and then get wood. Open the inventory / crafting menu and create a workbench.
• It is best to also create a hammer that allows you to remove objects in the background.

Build a house step by step

• Now it goes to work: build two walls and a roof with the wood using the workbench. Walls are urgently needed for safe shelter.
• Craft wooden bricks to fill the background. After that, only a door, two chairs and a table are missing. So make sure you have enough wood ready.
• After the foundation and basic equipment are in place, you can take care of a light source. To do this, kill slimes that move around the world to make torches with their gel.
• You can attach these to the wall or floor. The guide should now be with you and you should easily survive the first night full of enemies.
• If you expand your house, there will be even more useful NPCs in the future and you will be accommodated.
