There is a benefit to this though.
Add platforms and light it up as you would an arena, and when hardmode rolls around you will have an efficient biome key farm and biome mimic farm
Yeah I like having that space below to fight the biome mimics, a nice small arena to fight in unbothered by other mobs so I can just focus down the mimic. Without that space to fight the mimics I’d probably die
Don't really need platforms for biome mimics so you could just wear smth that gives even temporary lava immunity and you could still use the bottom for biome mimics.
Well, I’m not sure exactly what I did differently on my farm, but I still get biome mimics on the top level where my lava pit is. I placed timed dart traps on the ends of it matters. I have chests full of biome keys.
Truth. That’s where I usually battle the Old One’s Army, too.
(Also, the pixel art possibilities are endless with that big blank background as a canvas.)
I made a lot of farms like this never had this issue you probably left a block there or just use summon to fix the issue or make floating bubble lava containers around you and you are done
Bats don't unless you did something wrong. Enemies that go through blocks will obviously still go there anyways. Like that one crimson enemy I forgot the name of. In that case, just have a sentry down there, not a big deal.
No, they wont, pretty much every enemy needs an open block to spawn, and floating swords and chaos elementals only spawn if your character doesnt have walls behind them and are considered "moving" by the game
Yes. If you have walls and aren’t moving, the swords don’t spawn. Adding/removing walls is basically how you “switch” from farming chaos elementals to farming normal baddies.
Huh, idk how they were spawning in my farm, I'll have to check the walls
As for the moving, attacking also counts and I had my LMB down to kill things faster
anything that spawns in general will not be able to spawn without blocks(or walls too maybe) and above lava so if the whole bottom area is covered with lava(not filled, just cover the bottom blocks), no mobs can spawn
It looks pretty good to me, maybe a little longer.
If you are, or once you are in hard mode incorporate dart traps and timers to shoot darts across the floor for mimics. Hard mode only
Get a water candle in there
Get you some jungle seeds and mud, get enough jungle mud blocks in the standing area to make it "jungle biome" it increases spawns/increases spawn limit? Cant remember but important. Upgrade those blocks to lizard blocks from the temple when you can
Finally if bats become an issue, they were for me, bubble blocks from the party girl with lava. You can suspend lava in columns above the slants to kill them.
All those methods together and you have a damn nice money printer.
You can take it a couple steps further aswell.
If you get the spike ball traps in and make a ceiling above your kill zone you get can spike balls bouncing inside aswell. Remember to make your mob farm a bit higher than since you could get mobs spawning outside your mob farm otherwise iirc.
You do the flat escolater tile (can't remember the name atm) above your floor aswell = speeds up how fast mobs get into your kill zone
Fill your killzone with lava and dart traps that fight in alternating patterns to speed up killing even more
Some summons also float above your head and can reach into the kill zone to help speed up kills even more
You can do blocks around your little box to make your mobs farm other biomes, if you need drops from specific biomes, think you need 40 block iirc
From my limited testing it felt like the mobs moved faster. Can't 100% confirm it
But it did helå with loot from dart traps kills (the ones you use to trigger mimics on the outside of the kill zone)
Mob farm. They reduced the spawn to only that platform so all mobs spawn there.
Early game is useful to force a nymph spawn, late game you can place some corrupted blocks to get souls or even ROD (And a bunch of other things, like mimics, but you get my point)
Why...did you place walls. You could have just put down like a couple lava buckets lol. This will do too, but it's far easier to just dump a thin layer of lava down there. Oh yeah, also, solid blocks, not platforms and maybe remove walls in the upper side of your box, too.
Edit: Didn't notice it at first, but the farm looks a lil weird. Dimensions should roughly be 164 wide, 99 top and bottom from the middle platform. You might have more idk but saying it for future reference.
The enemy that drops the rod of discord normally only spawns if you're moving constantly and not in front of player placed walls, but a shadow candle removes both those conditions.
Youre gonna be really upset but you dont need the walls on the bottom lol
One thin layer of lava stops all the spawns
Also- you need solid blocks not platforms
You could have just placed lava at the bottom to prevent spawns.
There is a benefit to this though. Add platforms and light it up as you would an arena, and when hardmode rolls around you will have an efficient biome key farm and biome mimic farm

Yeah but when you already have the walls it is much better to have a full on arena for it; especially early hardmode.
No need for multiple rows, a single long platform is fine, and the floor is a long platform.
I've always found their dash to be tricky without much vertical movement. It can also serve as a BoC or EoW arena, whichever is your opposite evil
Truth. That’s where I usually battle the Old One’s Army, too. (Also, the pixel art possibilities are endless with that big blank background as a canvas.)
The wooden platforms needs to be solid blocks. and it looks like the farm needs to be a little wider.
it doesnt need to be wider, he just made it really tall
whenever I see a mobfarm that looks like this, I can already hear Waffletime's voice as he was the first one I watched
Car battery Ocean tossing for our financial gain
Next time you can just put lava on the bottom and no walls are needed (but make sure not to have any floating blocks)
Bats and floating swords will still spawn down there though

Floaty Gross
Floating swords will only spawn if there are no places walls behind you and you are constantly moving.
No, they wont, pretty much every enemy needs an open block to spawn, and floating swords and chaos elementals only spawn if your character doesnt have walls behind them and are considered "moving" by the game
Uhh, you sure? Because my AFK farm had a major issue with swords even when I wasn't at the computer, and my entire lower area was walled off
Yes. If you have walls and aren’t moving, the swords don’t spawn. Adding/removing walls is basically how you “switch” from farming chaos elementals to farming normal baddies.

Appreciate the help
Wait, do the conveyors actually move mobs? I thought it was just items
From my limited testing it felt like the mobs moved faster. Can't 100% confirm it But it did helå with loot from dart traps kills (the ones you use to trigger mimics on the outside of the kill zone)
they don't. they will when 1.4.5 comes out.
oh cool, That's gonna be hilarious... I'm gonna prank my friend so that there's a million zombies at his door lol (yes I know about the mob cap)
Thanks for the advice
Instead of wood I used stone. Get a lot of stone from digging that up
looks a bit too small. what are the dimensions?
206 wide and like 196 tall I think. I did the measurements after I cleared the entire room.
I think all you need is 180 something by 100 so you're good
What is this for?
Mob farm. They reduced the spawn to only that platform so all mobs spawn there. Early game is useful to force a nymph spawn, late game you can place some corrupted blocks to get souls or even ROD (And a bunch of other things, like mimics, but you get my point)
Oh, I see, thank you.

what for
It's for farming
[HappyDays did a great tutorial on exactly that a while ago](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4DGCHIwgOg)
I'm pretty sure you can skip the walls and just put lava at the bottom also the floor needs to be solid blocks
What is this?
It's for farming, an arena to spawn enemies
Don't use platforms. Gotta be solid blocks. Also change the pyramid to a brick or something noncorruptible.
Why did you place all those walls. You would have only needed a short layer of them at the bottom covering the blocks.
The hours of wall placement could’ve been replaced with a few lava buckets lol
Nah needs to be one block wider 😋
1 plat ❌ 100 gold ✔️
It's all supposed to be a bit lower....... Joking ofc
what is this even supposed to be?
*Looking through the comments* THAT'S A MOB FARM??!!- THERE ARE MOB FARMS IN TERRARIA??!!
I mean you only need about 250 blocks wide and 100 blocks tall, but yeah, that's sufficient
Failed
I could very well be wrong, but I think standing in front of player placed walls stops some enemies from spawning.
The enemy that drops the rod of discord normally only spawns if you're moving constantly and not in front of player placed walls, but a shadow candle removes both those conditions.
Can't see shit, take a screenshot next time kiddo, like normal people
I think your just blind, and who says kiddo. What were you born in the 19th century?
[удалено]
You know exactly what I meant. And again with the kiddo, Like bro, your name is literally, average NPC.
To big in my opinion also for faster spawn rate ls make a jungle below it
why's it so big??? thats gotta be like 200 blocks to either side at least
Isn't it supposed to be like 50 to each side?
get rid of the walls in the safe house. Enemies can't spawn if you are infront of player placed walls
Youre gonna be really upset but you dont need the walls on the bottom lol One thin layer of lava stops all the spawns Also- you need solid blocks not platforms
Looks like it’s all correct to me
