The Grand Design in Terrraria has one of the more complex recipes in the game. Upon completion, you’ll get a tool that helps you install and manage mechanisms. In this guide, we’ll talk about The Grand Design, how it works and how to create it. If you have experience with mechanisms, this item is relatively straightforward.

This makes it very easy to create very long, straight stretches of Wire, which is useful for setting up long distance Teleporters. Its static range covers the whole screen, and the player can edit settings to allow the placement/removal of different-colored Wires and Actuators. Destroying a Wire will instantly add it to the player's inventory.

How does this item differ from its components?

Like with any other tool, you should first equip it within the inventory (you don’t have to place it in equipment slots). The world is your canvas and the ground itself is your paint. In addition, as long as The Grand Design is anywhere in the inventory, it will provide seven toggles, controlling the functions of Mechanical Ruler and Mechanical Lens.

Personal tools

When the menu is closed, five small colored square icons will appear near the cursor, showing the current mode (placing/harvesting) and selected wires/actuator. The Grand Design allows you to remove certain wires while leaving the rest intact. You can also use it for precision work, given that the ruler feature is fantastic for calculating the terrain. In that regard, you can even use the tool when creating other structures. When using it the player can drag the Wire for very long distances, then confirm the placement/destruction of Actuators or Wires.

I'm on mobile and when i see PC players use it theres usually like a little thing following their cursor measuring everything out. Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen. The best thing about this tool is that you can get all its components from two NPCs. Goblin Tinkerer sells the Ruler, while Mechanic sells all other parts.

Tools

You can toggle these features on and off to show or hide wires, actuators, and ruler on the map. Although it’s much better for them to be active so that you can see the mechanisms, some players prefer turning some of them off. First off, you can hold the item in your hands and use the left-click to place pre-assigned wires.

The Grand Design can be used at any part of the screen, regardless of block placement range. When pressing ⚷ Interact with the tool, a small menu will pop up at the cursor's position with six different buttons in a radial pattern. The outside buttons can be used to select which wire colors (including Actuators) can be interacted with, and the middle button will toggle between placing or harvesting the designated wires. As long as you’re carrying the item, seven new buttons will appear left of the inventory.

It’s also worth mentioning that the item is great for removing hostile traps and mechanisms, as it shows the wiring lines. Using The Grand Design in Terraria is a bit tricky if you’re unacquainted with traps and mechanisms. However, if you know how they work, this item will make your life much easier. It allows you to place and remove wires and actuators, thus making traps operable.

In total, you’ll have to invest 14 gold and 10 silver to complete the recipe.

Alternatively, right-clicking while the item is equipped opens the wiring and actuator menu. Besides giving you access to the menu, it also provides the ruler function. The Grand Design is also excellent for placing several wires at once or removing specific wires from an active mechanism. With actuators, you can activate or deactivate all these systems. Lastly, for some of these features to be available, you’ll need to carry extra actuators and wires in your inventory.
