Redstone VS Electricity

[Kittcat]

Redstone in Minecraft VS Electricity in Terraria. Which do you think is better?

[Edutaker]

redstone just because of the sheer amount of stuff thats possible in minecraft, we could even create computers from the start on there

Redstone. Sure someone made a computer in terraria, but people have made security cameras, working youtube apps. And even instant replays with Redstone and commands

MC has a serious advantage over Terraria when it comes to electronics due to Command Blocks. If you exclude them, Terraria's Wire is better in my opinion; The fact that there are 4 colors you can cross over each other is the major reason.

Why is this here... But I think terraria's wire is easier to use, because there is different colors so you don't overlap, and theres more traps then just most of them that are in snapshots or with lava or arrows, or a fall trap. Also theres teleporters that don't involve some type of script running, so thats alot better for terraria. Also the fact that you can easily make it where only monsters can activate things, not all things.

ease of use i vote Terraria. Teleporters...there is a simple command to use in command blocks so pretty much equal there. complicated wise...i have to vote redstone. options wise without being complicated....Terraria. i enjoy both games...just saying. i don't play 1 over the other nor do i push one over the other.

Logic gates in terraria are the same as in minecraft. Terraria reduces the size of builds becouse of the fact we have actual gates (now) rather then the need to build them. Anything that is possible on minecraft is possible on terrraria in the saying of electrical wise.

Terraria just has different mechanics as its a 2d.

It depends. Terraria's wiring is easiest to use, but minecraft's can go further.

I personally prefer wiring, because the practical uses of it are better. Like traps, it's pretty hard to hide traps in minecraft, but in terraria, acutators make things easy. Plus, the grand design is only in Terraria.

Wiring in terraria is more then just actuating doors and wiring traps. You can build fully functioning calculators, gates, and computers same as minecraft.

Minecraft still offers better tools than this for Terraria though. Terraria wiring isn't nothing, but it doesn't have quite the depth.
In my opinion Terraria is better for aesthetics, Minecraft is better for engineering.

Minecraft is better for engineering is not even relevant to wiring. If they both have the same capabilities then that be counter intuitive.

i don't personally get into the super complicated with either game BUT as far as tools go....Terraria has numerous tools for wiring. I am not sure what "tools" you are referring to in MC beyond for instance like the command block with all its potential for commands.

I personally chose command blocks for what people can cram into one command. And that means i chose Redstone.

I really dont see "Command blocks" as anything todo with redstone or wiring. It's basically a block that can give "Commands" via a console. Nothing that involves complex wiring for.

[Kubiquity^3]

well i hear you about not being associated with wiring but command blocks can be used with wiring given then they are simply using console commands. and they can be setup to reproduce commands at certain times or at day/night etc with redstone.

That's still classes them as console triggers. I'm sure the OP is not talking about that.

In terraria you can use announcement boxes and "Command blocks" using tshock mods.
