    2 small corrections, the snow and desert can co-exist, I just chose to exclude it in my screenshot due to laziness since I was manually swapping my farm between different variants, I will update it for accuracy. Also you don't need to shimmer the sandstone walls, actually better if you avoid to do so due to certain desert spawns.

    For anyone who was curious, I built both this farm and waffletimes farm in prehardmode (jungle biome + water candle but no other spawn boosters) and this one gives about 1.5x the coins (not tested in hard mode yet) I would recommend making pathways out of granite because then enemies can drop geodes which are fantastic money makers ;)

    @luminous2585 2 месяца назад +11

    I made a very similar design, and an issue I encountered was that 3 block tall mobs like lizards and skeletons would sometimes tunnel through the bottom row of blocks when hitting the slope (not sure why they hit it in the first place since the tunnel itself is 3 blocks tall with 2 blocks of hoik at the bottom and 1 empty space above.) Anyway, the fix for that was to make the bottom 2 blocks thick. I'd still observe enemies sometimes being one block lower, but they didn't fall completely through anymore and arrived in the killbox as intended.
    It doesn't appear to be a problem in your exact build but if anyone else is having this problem that's the fix.

  • @Freedbot
    @Freedbot 2 месяца назад +2

    For my notes, I'll be a lot less pedantic than Kellam. Originally the player placed wall desert wall would have been a bad choice when farming certain mobs like chaos elementals that don't spawn unless the player is active and not in front of player walls, but the shadow candle negates both effects. If you use the MUCH easier to create jungle biome to increase spawn rate, then you'd still need battle potions to get close to the spawn cap, but the underground desert in caverns goes right to it. At some point before that, the ability to kill mobs quickly is the real bottleneck, since every living mob reduces the spawn rate.
    I do have a very fancy mob farm from a long time ago in my discord's announcements. Though I have built it a couple times in skyblock's that have wiring access, it's too complex to be practically copied, but it's a super automatic farm with fully wired biome and spawn rate control. It can even fully afk without dying to big mimics, although it also doesn't kill them. I should update it with hoik mob boosters and a shadow candle.

    Posting this for anyone on the secret world seeds or get fixed boi/Zenith seeds, golden slimes seemingly spawned more often with the wireless version, I notably earned ridiculous platinum numbers in pre-hardmode. After Skeletron I reworked to the wired version, and while I'm fairly certain the kill rate has increased, the gold income is dramatically lower even during goblin army and blood moon. The star slimes and some gold ones are falling through, I'm about to try turning off vsync for fixing their positioning and after that may make a second farm with the wireless version to compare properly.

    How do you stop a bunch of monsters from spawning either a) on the bottom of the whole box or b) on top of the sand? It's farming well but there are so many skeleton archers and whatnot spawning at the bottom and shooting up. Should I make the box deeper? Any help much appreciated :)

    • @Khanxay
      @Khanxay 21 день назад +1

      For the first point, when the mob spawner looks for valid spawn spots, it looks for blocks around the player in a fixed distance. I don't know the spawn distances off the top of my head but the whole box is sized so that if you're standing at the gathering spot, there shouldn't be any valid blocks in range below you or anywhere other than the spawn area.

      U can move the box down. The sand should all be visible. If u can’t see it all that’s where they’re spawning so move it to where u can see it. Lava also works to stop spawns.

    I'll be completely honest: I followed the tutorial to the letter and didn't get good overall results, the entities didn't appear in a good quantity. In my case for farming the Hallowed biome, most of the entities appeared at the bottom of the square, and very few appeared on the platform. And don't get me started on the Chaos Elemental mob; one appeared and teleported to the NPC base, ended up taking out one of them.
    I've checked a few times to see if I made any mistakes with the design, but it looks like I didn't.

    I actually make my mob spawner as just a closed box hovering *above* the kill zone in the middle of a large flat surface. A distance of about 10-12 blocks off the ground allows you to collect items from the kill zone with a treasure magnet, while allowing safe farming of wraiths, reapers, or floaty grosses. However, actually killing the mobs in the desired place is made much harder by this design - either you have to get the mobs to go underneath you before you kill them in only that area (explosive traps are effective for this), or place conveyor belts to ferry the items to you no matter how far away the kill. It’s not going to be particularly efficient but at least I figured it out mostly by myself.
    Separately, an issue I’ve encountered is that in later iterations I can’t seem to get ice bats or ice elementals to spawn even though all other ice biome enemies spawn readily. Any idea what’s up with that?

    • @ChiefLogan_

      Unfortunately there's no way to have NPCs in a corruption or crimson, so you'd have to remove the biome before you leave each time. To make this much easier though, place down exactly 300 crimstone when you're using the farm, then break a single block when you want the housing to be seen as safe again. Since there's only 299 blocks now the housing won't be considered in a crimson.
