Change terrain borders?

[Noodles]

hey guys I know this is kinda petty but eh, my save...

I found an area I'd really like to build a house on, trouble is it's right in between 2 different terrains, so I'll be walking around my house and suddenly it goes from forest to arctic...

it's obviously nothing bad, just wondering if there's a program I can use to push the border pack a bit. :P

The program is called "Terraria".

You have a pickaxe. Dig up the blocks from one of the terrain types and replace them with blocks of the other.

If you wanted to, you could dig up the whole map and put the biomes back in a completely different order.

if you wanna dig up the whole map use snowman launcher and tile-destroying rockets, not a pickaxe lol, would take WAY to long :D
but yeah just dig out the blocks and replace em and yer house wont switch biomes nemore

I didn't see his comment like that. he just said you can do it in game and game a simple explanation of how. also Tedit I think is a program that will let you edit the world, most will see what you are doing as cheating though, just a heads up.

Biomes aren't set in stone, they're determined by the number of biome-specific blocks that are there (I don't think even walls affect the biome, except in spider nests). Just dig out enough blocks that they're no longer in range of your house, and put them elsewhere. There isn't any "program" that can be used to change this (unless you use TEdit to rearrange your map), since the block values for all the different biomes are hard-coded into the game.

Indeed, at most I was very mildly amused as I typed the post.

With no tone to the text, it could come across as somewhat condescending, but that's entirely the reader's interpretation.

fair enough, my mistake.

thanks a lot for the help guys

no problem, also the clentaminator (something like that) is an item you get from the steampunker that sprays biome changing gels, I think there is only grass (normal) corruption and hollow ammo though.

Walls only affect the Lihzahrd, Dungeon, and, if you consider it a biome, Spider Nests.

There's also mushroom ammo for the Clentaminator, which converts mud/jungle.

Oh yeah, that's right. I forgot about the dungeons.

Basically, anywhere where you can have a minibiome that can spawn its own unique enemies (so hives don't count, since the only unique enemies spawn from blocks) inside of another biome, the walls are what do the trick. Otherwise, it's the blocks.

Clentaminator is right.

The most common and useful fluid is the purifying one that gets rid of corruption/hallow/mushrooms, but there's fluids that add corruption/hallow/mushrooms as well. So sadly, the Clentaminator is more about biome modification than actual change; it never changes the basic nature of blocks.

Still, very cool item.
