What to study

Terraria's crafting screen is three answers stacked on one side of the display. The bag answers 'what do I have' as a numbered grid that doubles as the hotbar, so there is no separate quick-bar inventory to keep in sync. The station window answers 'what can I make here', here, an anvil, and it is searchable by name and filterable by station category icons, because by mid-game the recipe list runs to hundreds. The toggle between them answers the question most crafting games make you walk for: 'Craft from nearby chests (On)' says, in plain words on the screen, that the chests around you count as your pockets. Even the costs are drawn as the materials themselves with counts (100, 85), not converted into an abstract currency. The character is present the whole time as slot columns on the right edge, armour, accessories, dyes, so equipping the thing you just made is a drag of a few centimetres, not a screen change. Frame at ~0:18 in the Terraria: Bigger & Boulder Trailer (Steam; manual extraction, the crafting window opens inside one held night shot, so the scene-change pass never fired on it).

Screen inventory

• the Inventory opens as a 10-column grid whose top row is the numbered hotbar (keys 1-0): pickaxe, axe and consumables up top, four more rows below, most empty in this early inventory, a filled bottom row of tools, potions and torches with stack counts (27, 2, 7, 4, 50)
• a separate 'Coins Ammo' pouch panel sits right of the grid, money and ammunition never compete with the main bag, with its own small count column (9, 85, 14, 61) and a trash slot beneath
• under the grid, the crafting controls: a hammer icon, a recipe-book icon, and the plain-language toggle 'Craft from nearby chests (On)', the game states, in words, that materials may be pulled from storage you are standing near
• a station category icon row (sword, skull, blocks, chair, flask, ring, hammer-and-wrench, star, heart) filters which station's recipes show; the open window is titled 'Anvil Crafting'
• the Anvil Crafting window carries a magnifier icon and a 'Name:' search field, an X close button, and recipe tiles priced in materials at a glance, the top row asks 100 of one material and 85 of another, the result row below shows a pickaxe, a bowl, a hamaxe, a gun, a whip and armour pieces, with two 100-count material tiles under them
• the right edge is the character worn as columns: armour and accessory slots (several filled, wings, shield, balloon, bottle, most still empty silhouettes), a row of dye/equipment icons above them, and a defence badge reading 14 at the column's foot
• the HUD never closes: 'Life: 320/320' with two rows of red hearts and a Mana star column stay pinned top-right over the night scene, a snow-roofed stone house with aurora and moon behind the panels
