Hi all I'm currently working on building this map still.

The map features a multi themed mansion place. Where you will be spawned at. On the left side of the mansion is a Telepads room with Teleports to visit other areas of the world. There are 16 main teleports in the telepads room. Also on left side of the multi themed mansion has some defenses to enemies. Just switch the switch to turn on the defense. Plus the left & right side entrances has no door entrance. Only pressure plate walls to toggle open and close it open.

Under the multi themed mansion. There's also a mushroom biome and a mini jungle biome. Loads of storage spaces as well.

Certain underground areas are shielded from evil biomes with glass blocks. So they're won't spread into those biomes. If you don't mind the evil biomes spreading. You can remove the glass blocks barriers. That are separating from corrupted or crimson blocks.

The water chest storage area is for rarer items and hard obtainable items to be stored at. So if you were to play the map with friends. They wouldn't be able to steal anything as they'll drown. Unless they have that pink shell (forgot the name) that turns you into a fish to breathe endlessly. So that place is a place where you can store your most precious goods & valuables. The other storage chest areas can be used for common or uncommon items. Or emergency stash storage.

Just recently I have added a Crypt which is also an armory. And you can display over 320 weapons on the weapon racks.

And a new bigger arena. Especially designed for Planterra. And is an AFK arena as well.

I'm going to fill you in with my Terraria story. For when I first played it. And how this mansion began.

When I purchased Terraria last year July. I was unsure what to build. So I just built a small basic mansion out of stone. As you can see in the screenshot below.

Original concept of Homelands multi theme mansion

I've then decided to get creative and renovate each room with different blocks and walls. So it would give the rooms some character. 

First mansion improvements

I then continued expanding and making more changes to the mansion. Before the first file release was published here.

I've been addicted to Terraria ever since I purchased it through Steam, last year July 2016. This is my very first build that I'm working on improving.

After when I cannot do more to this mansion. I will work on another different, but better shaped, multi themed mansion.

When the project is finished and there isn't anything left to do. I will release 6 different Homelands world difficulty files. Ranging from Normal, normal pre-hardmode, normal hardmode, Expert, expert pre-hardmode and expert hardmode. In a .zip file.


News Update 12th November 2020 - 

Hi all. Its been awhile since this project has been updated. I've only got back into the swing of things and playing Terraria again. Since they've added new bosses and features etc in the recent update. 

I'm planning on using TEdit and relocating the best buildings into a newer fresh world. Since there's newer bosses and things added to newer generated worlds. I am also planning on redesigning the multi themed mansion as well. And to try and improve its shape and style a bit better. I was thinking of doing a similar layout design, like how my Starbound planet base looks like. For those who's been keeping up with my Instagram and Twitter updates.

So that's what I'm planning on working on soon. But I've got another project in Garry's Mod to finish first. Before I can get started with this project update.

Please note that the previous Homelands Small world file. Hasn't been updated with the changes that the Large world file has got. As that is the original world, before I transferred the buildings into a larger world via Tedit. Also please read the "Current Plan Notes" in recent file update and the other earlier files notes via Files tab and clicking the file names to open up the past file update notes.

Please read the change notes via new file. For a thorough detailed explanation of what's added and what's changed. Also you can read the past file update notes in earlier previous files, that was here in overview. Also you can view the images here for a larger view.

Homelands_Large_v1.7.wld

  • Hell Mansion furbished with easy exits for Wall of Flesh battle

  • King's Temple area as more depth added
  • Multi theme mansion storage chest area fully sorted
  • A simple TARDIS console room built

Telepad Teleporter Room Locations

There is soon going to be sub teleports from each location teleports. With another lever and wired differently to another location. Say for example how that's going to work. Is that say you just teleported to King's Temple. There is another switch or lever next to the teleport. Use it and it will teleport you to an underground area directly beneath your location. Because I've noticed in the world there are incomplete built homes/shelter. I was thinking of linking those areas to adjacent location teleports. For easy access. When I do, do it. This section will be updated with sub teleports to each underground biomes and underground built areas.

Also please note that these teleport locations. Will be updated. Matching the recent file update!

  • Bottom Row of Teleport areas
  1. Fishington (Has a basic Shark Farm)
  2. Prince & Princess Castle • Sub Teleport Left Switch Love Cupid Area. Right Switch Pumpkin House
  3. King's Temple
  4. Cactus House
  • Third Row of Teleport areas
  1. Unlinked
  2. Snowington
  3. Hell Mansion (Coming Soon)
  4. East Dungeon
  • Second Row of Teleport areas

  2. Unlinked

  • First Row of Teleport area

  4. UFO (But will UFO will be moved to space station base once built) • Sub Teleport to UFO in orbit

I am going to be putting some teleports around the mansion. So you can get around the mansion more easily. Plus some teleports will have sub teleports to other areas. Until I understand how the logic bulb lights etc works. When I do, do that. I will update this section.


Bugs I'm Aware of or have been fixed

  1. Snowman shaped house platforms is also toggled when using pressure plate. (Properly Fixed in v1.6 file update).
  2. Planterra AFK new arena. The slime statues doesn't always respawn the slimes when trap switch is on. And causes an unexpected death by Planterra. Going to try and fix that problem, before the next file update. Also Planterra seemed to have adapted to my technique as my characters died when Planterra went into second form, after Planterra was under 15000 HP. As my character started taking damage from the tentacle like claws from passing through the character standing position. Even if the slime statue slime was making the character flicker. I'm thinking about changing the 1 sec timer to a 3 or 5 secs timer. To see if that would make a difference.
  3. Yesterday I was playing with a friend from Steam. And his friend joined in as well. And somehow later down the track, we was playing. My friend's friend got stuck somehow under the UFO's slope platform that was on top of the mansion. I had to remove that slope entrance to free his friend. His friend was using the portal gun a lot. So I will have to investigate how the portal was able to be fired through there.

Future Goals/Plans For This Project

  1. Rebuilding both Pumpkin & Frost Moons Arenas. Including teleports linked up to their areas.
  2. Building an underground mansion. Linked to the dungeon, joint with minecart tracks.

Current Plan Notes I'm Working On or thinking about doing - Section last updated since 12th Nov 2020

I haven't been working on this next update as regularly. I'm going through a rough time with personal physical & mental health problems. But I am going to continue with this project. I will soon be relocating most of the buildings into another newer world. Since the new Terraria 1.4 update was released with newer bosses and features was released.

I've also decided to work on the courtyard as well. Where the multi themed mansion is as well. Just to add more realistic depth.


Future Project Maps Planned

  1. Designing a sci-fi world with Tedit to feature various ships from different sci-fi movies and TV shows. (No clues or hints as its a surprise).
  2. Homelands 2 which would have the multi themed mansion, but rebuilt into a different shape. And different room shapes.

FAQ

This section will be updated if there are more frequent questions that are asked.

Q. Where can I find the Telepads room?

A. You can easily find it at the left side of the multi theme mansion

Q. How can I enter in the music room?

A. To enter it is by going to the vanity room with all of the mannequins. One of the left side walls will open up automatically. (With a player sensor).
