The Fastest AFK Sand Farm In Terraria! (Master Mode)

Description
World-Download / About / Credits


==About==
While exploring the corrupted desert I had come across an antlion who was shooting pure yet infinite amounts of sand blocks. This got me to think of ways to exploit this game feature. Although the Terraria Wiki states "Because the Antlion creates Sand Blocks as it attacks, sand is technically a renewable resource, although one renewed slowly", I have quickly found ways around this. Antlions for whatever reason are not able to be hoiked so I have found that hammered and actuated teleporters to work just as if not better.

==Money Breakdown==
2550 Sand / Minute
153000 Sand / Hour

15300 Candelabras = [4 Platinum 59 Gold / Hour] -- [9 Platinum 69 Gold 49 Silver / Hour]
306000 Stained Glass = [153 Platinum / Hour] -- [193 Platinum Coins 69 Gold 80 Silver / Hour]
Max NPC Happiness = +26.6% sale increase

I don't like sand. It's coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere.

How and why

wtf?

Well spawn area can be screw by the game resolution but basically yes you right.

Also yeah forgot about wall , but for "external" solid block , i rarely put a wall above it but lava.

@Dr_Shadox Player placed walls block off enemy spawns. So unless ꀊꏀꃓꐃꄜꎟꊸ built his farm by hand and forgot to include these, then lava will do the trick. Remember this as any master mob farm builder knows it.

However to answer your question @ꀊꏀꃓꐃꄜꎟꊸ, it is more then likely what Dr_Shadox said. There is a 150 NPC limit. Using battle potions will increase this to 200. Note that your ~28 town NPC's also contribute to this number. I would suggest blocking off local spawns with lava or walls. Note everything outside of 1920x1080 screen multiplied by 4.2 will despawn automatically.

Interesting.

@ꀊꏀꃓꐃꄜꎟꊸ

Well it's maybe because the max spawn limit is reached so full of anthlion.

If the limit is reached but not only by antlion , it mean 1thing :
Mobs are able to spawn and "afk" outside the farm (pretty sure is top left and top right , outside player screen ofc).

Try put a lava layer above the farm , and hold it with bubble block (solid block isnt ok because they are themselv a valid spawnpoint , unlike bubble block)

I didnt try the map but i've kinda mastered mob farm and spawn mechanic so i'm sure at 99% that the problem.

this will make quite the nice little farm. I'll be honest I really enjoy learning how to make farms like these. This one will be especially useful. not only for the money and the free sand/glass but also for the fact that the typical ocean grinder takes more finesse to set up now.

I noticed how antlions stop spawning after a few minutes, is there a fix to it?
