Weapons & Equip A tool than can copy and paste structures

Official Terrarian
I'm tired of building structures one by one and opening Terraria and Tedit back and forth. How about introducing a new tool called the 'Architect's Hammer' or 'The Magic Box'? This innovative device would revolutionize building in Terraria by allowing players to effortlessly copy and paste structures, similar to the convenience offered by Minecraft's Structure Block. With the Architect's Hammer or The Magic Box, players can seamlessly duplicate intricate designs, saving time and enhancing creativity in their world-building endeavors.

The Architect's Hammer Or The magic box in Terraria offers a range of capabilities, but it also has limitations. Here's a breakdown of what it can do and what it can't do:

Can Do:

1. Copy Structures: It allows players to select and copy existing structures within the game world.

2. Paste Structures: Players have the ability to paste the copied structures elsewhere in the world, facilitating effortless replication of designs, including the construction of NPC houses.

3. Efficiency: By eliminating the need for manual reconstruction, the tool saves time and effort in building projects.

4. Precision: The tool ensures precise replication of structures, maintaining the original design's integrity.

5.Integration with Wiring: The tool might seamlessly integrate with Terraria's wiring system, allowing players to copy and paste complex wiring configurations along with their structures.

6.Ease of Use: The tool is designed to be user-friendly, offering intuitive controls and a straightforward interface for selecting, copying, and pasting structures.

Can't Do:

1. Infinite Materials: The tool does not provide infinite building materials. Players still need to gather or craft the necessary materials for the structures they wish to replicate.

2. Modify Structures: While the tool can copy and paste structures, it does not allow for modification of the copied designs. Players must manually edit structures after pasting if they wish to make changes.

3. Limited Range: Depending on its design, the tool may have a limited range for selecting and copying structures, requiring players to be close to the structures they wish to replicate.

4.Terrain Manipulation: The tool lacks the ability to manipulate terrain or landscape features directly. Additionally, players cannot paste structures if there's no previously copied structure available, limiting its use for terrain manipulation purposes.

5. Mobility Restrictions: While the tool excels at copying and pasting structures within the player's reach, it may face limitations when attempting to replicate structures in hard-to-reach or restricted areas, such as cramped spaces.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

•During the copying process, materials will be deducted from the player's inventory.

•When pasting the copied structure, it will not be placed and will highlight red if the player's materials are insufficient.

•The tool possesses the capability to copy all placeable items, such as Walls, Blocks, Furniture, Crafting Stations, Decorations, Functional items, and more.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

This tool is exclusively obtainable in the endgame stage of the game.

One can only hope for TEdit tools in Terraria
 
does it take the materials out of the inventory? if not, it's a bit broken (infinite materials easier and all that stuff)

Yes it will take the materials from your inventory
 
Some quick advice: Cheat Sheet has a copy and paste ability, so you can use that.

I'm on mobile, so I can't use mods, but the tool will revolutionize mobile building, making it easier to build on mobile devices.
 
I don't support this suggestion. It would take a ton of work, and the game is already coming to an end.
and the tool will revolutionize the mobile buibuilders
No, it really doesn't. You can get TEdit on mobile, and it doesn't take much time to switch between the 2.

If this won't get added in 1.4.5 maybe i'll try to suggest this tool next update
 
I don't support this suggestion either. It's fine for third-part tools like mods and TEdit, but in the base game, I believe you should have to build everything by hand.

That is not true, mobile cannot even download the requirements to run TEdit let alone the app itself

Do you build often? Genuine question, because from most pretty active builders I will say a lot of them use TEdit and some of those builders have made suggestions just like this one (although some are way more complicated). I don't think non-builders understand the genuine impact something in-game like this has to builders. I am currently working on a play tester's world, something you can fight each boss in with loadout storage, customizable arenas, and much more. I also want to post that world onto steam workshop so I'm trying to make it look nice. If I were to build everything by hand I would have to build an entire Wall of Flesh sized arena from both corners of a large world, detailed walls, buffs, wiring, all the works. If I had to build everything by hand this project will likely take me another 2 years at minimum.

I normally don't support items that are so crazy broken for regular playthroughs but made post moon lord, but this would an exception since it's not intended for regular playthroughs. You're not meant to obtain this item, it is just supposed to be in the game for builders to use. I think that is perfectly acceptable.

That's what I thought too, but OP said they had it so I thought it was possible. Thanks for correcting me.

Truth be told, no, I'm not much of a builder. And you're right that I probably don't understand the impact something like this would actually have.
 
I'm a huge builder so this would impact my experience a lot.:happy:
like no more uneven large builds that are to hard to fix.
as a person who likes to code, it would probably be to hard.;(
