I agree with building a frame and draining the water, so you can build without draining the entire ocean, but instead of using a hole to tunnel the water out, you can either use pumps to move the excess water back outside of the build frame, or use a super absorbent sponge to get rid of the water permanently.

Step 1: Carve out a big bowl somewhere in the world.
Step 2: Build a house in this bowl.
Step 3: Get an Endless Water Bucket.
Step 4: Fill the bowl with water (make sure the house is water-tight though! lol)
OR
Step 1: Find a huge lake of water or use the ocean.
Step 2: Build the outer frame of the house.
Step 3: Once the outer frame of the house is watertight, use the Super Absorbent Sponge to get rid of the water in the house.
Step 4: Finish building the house, be careful not to break the watertight seal.

Is that Tin Plating Wall painted with Deep White or something? It almost looks like Copper, but you'd think it'd at least have some orange tint to it still.

I don't wanna live in fear that my fatal accidental picaxe swing is responsible for the drowning of 14 innocent NPCS.Great tips/ideas! I went with the pump method in the ocean. Had to build a retaining wall to keep from having to build an ark next. I think it turned out well

I can't actually remember a time I accidentally picked a piece of wall out of my house...
But I suppose some people have done it.

Oh no, there's an enemy in my house! Oh, no, I forgot to switch to rocket III!

Thanks!
Definitely! I made an air lock next to it while building (before I got a neptunes shell) and that was really helpful
Yup, its white painted copper plating. It looks more cream than white. I thought it was a good submarine type texture but not an orange fan

Love this, inspired me to have a go at an underwater base myself!

Funny you put that! I was literally just sorting out my screenies from recent game play as I have seriously gotten into Terraria again and am even doing a multiplay with my Dad, last night It was late but not late enough for bed so I even started a hardcore character on an expert world and plan to make a thread sharing the evolution of my games (i have 4 games, one that is on hold because i am struggling with it, my main single play, my multiplay, and my hardcore) but I will probably just share my main and the multiplay (4 threads is a bit much
)
Gotcha!
Pumpking
Err, why would you even create more than 1 thread to show your screenshots? Just dump them in one.(4 threads is a bit much
