How to Organize Your Chests
Figured I should probably put a list of potion ingredients, for reference:
-Bottled water
-Daybloom
-Blinkroot
-Moonglow
-Deathweed
-Fireblossom
-Waterleaf
-Shiverthorn
-Lesser healing potions
-Glowing mushrooms
-Rotten chunk/vertebra
-Lens
-Amber
-Iron/lead ore
-Gold/platinum ore
-Obsidian
-Cobwebs
-Feathers
-Coral
-Shark Fin
-Fallen Star
-Antlion Mandible
-Cactus
-Bone
-Crispy Honey
-Any non-white rarity fish (except honeyfin)
Long list, I know. But all of them in one chest will let you craft any potion.

16 person Skyblock when
nah, i'd use magic storage.
I feel like there's one more thing you can mention – using specific TYPES of chest to store specific types of loot. Storing ice stuff in ice chests, and fancy stuff in gold chests, and boring stuff in plain wooden chests, helps with further visual identification – no need to read a name. There are a bajillion craftable chests, and it can be fun to find the right-looking chest for the right stuff
No offense but why is your chests more organized than your house 💀 (I'm the complete opposite lol)
I have a "Boss" chest where i keep all the boss summons i got as well as materials for said boss summons, so things like lenses, rotten chunk, honeycomb, etc. i find it very useful because some boss crafting recipes have some very random items that fit in no other category
bro stole my setup down to the last detail besides a side chest for miscellaneous materials
i put the ores on top of the bars though
Jokes on you, im already using a very similar system
Main problem is that there is a bit more potion ingredients than can fit in one chest. And also how to quick stack gold and iron ores in metals chest but not in ingredients chest?
Its wholesome to see Ive always sorted my chest literally the exact same way. item by item
I actually wheezed at that ending
i keep my chests like my room, messy but I know where every thing is at
Alternative.
Magic Storage, and screw everything else.
But before that, yea, I did something fairly similar as well. I do wish you could link chests together so that when you open one you essentially open multiple, at least for crafting. Because even with something like Magic storage, the absolute shit ton of items that end up there is overwhelming at times, and sometimes I'm too lazy to use the search function.
great fucking ending, keep it up
That's actually exactly how I sort my items, though I usually also have a chest for each class of weapon/accessory
I so badly want to watch Sorbet do a Fargo's playthrough now
i will watch this video thinking "i should totally do that" and still do chest monsters like in Minecraft.
edit: that last clip killed me.
laughs in magic storage
You basically have just described my method but far refined from what I do.
Magic Storage
I don't know what it is with other people, but if you show me a messy chest and tell me to find a specific item in it, it will take me less than a second. So I just use the sort button.
im a serious hoarder, so i make up extremely specific categories and not only that but often have multiple chests for one category if it fills up fast
or use Magic Storage 👀
hah, I think terraria players do convergently evolve, once you have enough playtime you form an instinctual sorting system that only you know the idiosyncrasies of, but any similarly experienced player already knows the broad strokes of because they developed it independently. I bet any player with a complete & thorough playthrough under their belt could figure out the exacts of my sorting system within like ten minutes.
usually how it works out for me is I have a matrix in some other room, which closer chests can usually reach crafting stations if you want, & it goes potion materials, potions, metal, metals 2, materials, blocks, building, armour, accessories, misc., sometimes fishing.
materials has, precisely, fallen stars, chains, heart crystals, often worms & nightcrawlers until I make a fishing chest, jungle spores, sometimes dye ingredients (otherwise they're in misc.), stingers, vines, cobwebs, silk, lenses, crystal shards, pixie dust, grass seeds, dark shards, light shards, souls, worm teeth, shadow scales, tissue samples, pink gel, & such things.
misc. has banners, bloody tears, boss summoning items, banners sometimes, bottomless buckets & super absorbent sponges, fishing rod & bait if I don't have a fishing chest, & miscellaneous items.
this system usually wants for a little expansion by the endgame, but it will last me almost a full playthrough without modification so that's typically how it's made
