Terraria: how to prepare your first base

A small work base helps you master Terraria: here you can store loot, create items, and return after risky forays.

Collect space to live

Prepare an enclosed space with lighting and basic items for construction and crafting. Check the requirements for suitable housing using the housing tool in the game interface: a decorative room is not always considered suitable. Place chests near work stations and divide materials into several clear groups.

Don't rush into deep caves

Start with a short route, light sources and the ability to return. Leave some resources at the base. Prey lost through an ill-prepared foray often slows development more than a cautious pace would. If a new material is found, check available recipes and its purpose before selling.

Get ready for the next challenge

Before a difficult enemy, evaluate weapons, mobility, healing and space for movement. It is convenient to develop the base with small expansions: space for new residents, separate storage, prepared exit. Check the latest documentation for your platform, as updates may be released at different times for different editions.
