Thats single correction of "wires cannot be on or off like in Minecraft" unironically solved 3/4ths of my wiring confusion. It's all clicking now. Thanks!
me at start: "oh ok, thats why my statues dont spawn stuff. because other things to close" me later: "I JUST WANTED TO BUILD A ONE-WAY DOOR. NOT A COMPUTER" great video, learned a lot of stuff i didnt know i needed
I'm only 7 minutes in, and I've already been giving enough information to start wiring. I couldn't even figure out how to use the wrench before. This is an insanely dense video, but it doesn't feel overwhelming at all. For every piece of technical information, there is a practical and or fun application that makes it easier to understand the concept. Amazingly done.
lmao i woke up, this was released seconds later, i put this on and went straight back to sleep. well at least thats free watch time for sorbet cafe, especially since im sure ill be back to watch this and not fall asleep some day
i'll be honest a small part of me took psychic damage when Crab Statues were labelled useless i literally thought to myself "have you not heard about Crab Engines???" also you can use zombies, skeletons, or hoplites for a full-auto dart line (i forget the specific setup, but ik it used skeletons) EDIT: color me a liar, i only just now got to that part
This has actually practical use besides collection when playing a mod like Fargo's Mutant mod, which lets you craft some rare drops(including even more statues for faster farming if you need a bunch) with banners.
@@Izzythemaker127 You say, as if collection is ever a practical endeavor. Some people just like it. And I say it’s good for them to be in the game for people who want to enjoy an easier time farming banners for otherwise really annoying enemies.
Something to note about using echo coating for teleporter doorways: You can achieve the same effect earlier by shadow painting both the background wall and the teleporter.
Even if some enemy statues dont drop loot, they give banners, so you could farm one or more banners then use the banners on an actual farm. For example, you can safely kill mimics then bring the mimic banner to your underground farm
This video is absolutely phenomenal. Youve done an excellent job of portraying everything visually with simple and concise setups, with narration that guides us through. I feel like it might go a little unrecognized just how much effort has gone into the production of this, so I want to highlight it, and commend you for an awesome video!
Terraria has many speedrun categories, and I feel like this video unlocked a whole new category of " Freshman Logic%". At the start we're just learning basic 'if' and 'when' functions, and by minute 50 we're already building a base-2 to base-10 decoder (and making it look pretty with no error messages). That's basically a whole year of Logic 101 condensed in a single hour, in a format that's perfect for my ADHD brain to follow.
Ive wanted to learn wiring for a few months now but ive ended up forgetting about it whenever ive gotten the chance or just wanted to do something else in the moment, thank you sorbet cafe for giving me an hour long video to come back to whenever i want to learn more wiring
Now that we know how to wire, we just need a video on how to build aesthetically pleasing buildings efficiently. Going all out on base defense with hoiks and automated defense systems while making a cool build out of it is quite a challenge that I think requires a video.
This is absolutely incredible, to make over an hour of purely educational content, none being filler information, is absurd and nothing short of amazing, thank you sorbet cafe
Yooo actually such a sick video. I gotta ask cuz I’m kinda jealous u talked abt this, did u learn the dart shooting the pressure plate trick from me? Or the active stone block shimmer for timers from me? 😭 I’m assuming u didn’t but I showed both in a vid of mine and thought I was the only one who knew😢😢
I didn’t, I was talking with wiresnstuff/JAY about the dart traps and the shimmer thing I don’t remember, it’s just something I’ve vaguely known about for a long time.
Thank you, sharing this video is SO much easier than trying to explain most of this to people, and they tend to absorb the info better, and i can fill in any microgaps as needed
A single logic gate on its own may not seem That much different for a basic use at first glance, but, you can use them to safety proof various builds, have farms run only as needed, and more; but, their real strength, is when you daisy chain them together. Having various logic steps go through eachother can let you create very complex coding
this is also lowkey a good video to watch to revisit basic electronic engineering concepts lmao (i may or may not have not learnt anything in my course until I crammed the entire syllabus the night before the exam)
Bro, so much value and info compacted and nicely sorted. I'm going back and forth the video while building and learning along. Thx so much, if you were doing videos abt a bigger game you'd have x100 more subs. Gratefull for having you 4 Terraria though.
Could you one day also do a Comprehensive Guide on Fishing? Fishing also has a lot of weird mechanics and most people don't even realize is in the game.
Fanciest wiring I've done (still do once per world, if it's not a challenge world) is a raised building over lava grinder, that also has a bird/bat timer hooked up do some dart shooters and stuff. I usually build it a couple screens to the right or left of spawn, so natural invasions still detect it as 'center' _enough_ when they show up. I can sit in the house and it auto-mercs most invasion mobs, and prevents the ones that go through most blocks from getting up to me - except mothrons who just fly right in anyways. It's tall enough it 'catches' Dutchmen on the corners, but low enough I can go in the belly of the building with a Coin Collector or Treasure Magnet, and get stuff out of the lava pool below it. Once I have that built, then I add enough lava off to the side to reach past the spawn-rectangle I would have from anywhere within the building I made. Then I put a layer of actuate-able blocks over it, and wire everything up so I can toggle blocks on either side off and on, and literally turn off world spawns if I want to, just from sitting in the house and flipping a few levers, ["Pull the lever Kronk." ... "Wrong LEVer!" ... Why do we even HAVE that lever!?"] Or I can only toggle one of the levers, and cause the spawns to only come from one direction. And voila, a Terraria SMG (Spawn Management and Grinder) system. ;) Used to build it to pass blood moons by, before they made it so Sun and Moon Dials reset any time a natural eclipse or Blood Moon happens. You know, put any crafting tables I might want access to in that building, maybe put all the extra crafting materials over there I might think about using. It doesn't take much to grab all but one of the ores and -ights I've been collecting at my main spawn, and put them over by all the fancy crafting machines and go to town crafting things for later use, all while waiting out the blood moon, or exclipse. While it looks complicated, when it's all said and done, it's actually rather basic wiring.... Only three levers in the building: one to turn traps on and off, one to close off platform gaps in the building, and one to change the whole structure from "lava pit of doom that kills anything that walks into it" to "perfectly passable terrain with platforms for players" ... And then two more levers that toggle each side's lava-based spawn switch. I can do the whole thing with just red if I want, but I usually do with red and green. Even then I don't really cross any wires. All that being said... I look forward to learning more from this video. Guess I should un-pause it from the 30 second mark, and actually start watching, huh? LOL
@@electric_ajax I think more relating to the specific usefulness of different bonuses, along with breaking down more vague ones like ones on shroomite, titanium, and chloriphite armors would be cool. It wouldn't be that difficult but also going into synergies and using different armors in combination. Like what he discussed with defense combinations.
2:30 as someone who places teleports across all of my terraria worlds (I always play on large), this is not necessary true. It might be a bug, but I always place my wires in parts, because after a certain distance they would just unclick, and I would have to walk all the way back. I don't know why it happens, but it happened to me often enough that I just do multiple shorter trips rather than one longer trip.
@@sorbetcafe no, singleplayer. Haven't played in a few months, so maybe it was fixed, but it definitely was a common issue for me on dungeon teleporters.
@@sorbetcafe just tested it, and it's still there. At slightly less than half of a large world, the click and drag line disappears, and nothing is placed. Maybe it's a hardware issue with my mouse, idk.
Phew, a lot of those explanations started going way too fast for me. Probably because I'm a hands on learner and not a verbal learner. Like 5 minutes after you mentioned transistors I was like "what was a transistor again?" Anyway thanks for the video :)
I found king statues useful when i wanted to buy an item that is specifically sold in the corruption biome. I couldn't just make the house for the NPC and wait for it to move in, so i used the king statue until the NPC i wanted got teleported.
it will be so helpful if you make a guide to each classes!! (especially the summoner, because it's so cool and unique) explaining ways to obtain things, what are they do, mechanics, possible maximum stats and other things like whips staking, minion mixing and etc i know there is no right way to play terraria, but I've always seen some repetitive strats which are so boring... it'll be nice to hear deep explanation of everything
i'm sorry if i managed to make mistakes and if it's looks like not understandable mess because i have troubles with explaining my thoughts especially in english since it is not my native language!!!!!!
Silly Balloons, place 5 of them in the shape of an arch and hammer the two lower ones then place Actuators and activate then remove, you may or may not have already found out but it'll be here for anyone else cuz I was really curious about this too and I watched the rest of the video but my mind was just on this lol

Even the less practical enemy statues have a use. They're pretty good for farming enemy banners.

thank you frozen fruit restaurant for providing me with the necessary knowledge to wire
Oh THATS what the faulty logic gate does!
No-one ever explained what the heck it did, you are the first.
This is an absolutely insane video. Your guides are more clean and informative than actual textbook topics, let alone those for a video game.

holy shit 1 hour

Absolutely wonderful
