My suggestion for the fastest possible heart machine
40 hearts per second
Hoik track to the right -> travel speed 120 tiles per second: Max speed therefor Max activation

If you make the hoik track long enough it takes you 10 seconds to travel through it

Finish it off with a teleporter that loops you back to the beginning.

You start again after the first statue has cooled down. This is what it looks like:

Since you travel at 120 tps and a heart statue setup takes 3 tiles you are activating and collecting
40 hearts per second.
(technically you have a 6 tile delay due to the teleportation after every 1200 hoiks witch amounts to 0.05 seconds - Irrelevant)
- Works without heartreach potion
- the conveyer belts are not needed - I thought I had to burn of the occasional heart, yet it works like a charm
(occasionally one heart drops, but I had it running for twenty minutes without stopping - lava or heartreach and it'll go forever)
- If you used a heartreach potion you can hook two heart statues in a row to a single switch, thus taking you up to 48 hps
- This is less reliable though occasionally (about one every other loop will fall down)
- Can be used for farming if traps are added above. Enemies will despawn if you are out of their region, but only after 12.5 seconds (according to the wiki), since you loop every 10 seconds this will be fine [did not ingame test though - I built this to produce max hearts per second and nothing else]
I tried adding additional rows of hearts above and below to max it even further, but the travel distance doesn't allow for the hearts to reach you and the machine stops working immediately.
Grants immortality against 2/3 mechanical bosses. Hoiking through the Destroyer is Instadeath =D
(even if you add campfires, heartlanterns and fill the tunnel with honey - yes I tried)
Will loop forever, I use the Rod of discord to get out.
40 hps is to beat
I attached the world if someone wants to tinker around with it. From the spawn move to the right and you'll find it. Contains other Stuff two:
- Two more heart tunnels that are less reliable than this one is
( this is the bottom one they are right above each other // Yes, the honey filled tunnel is among the others )
- a two way hoik hellevator that let's you select where you want to go ( it's flimsy, but it works )
- a four digit seven segment clock ( at the moment only manual Input and no counting up mechanism )
- a self repelling dart battery ( it doesn't solve the spacing problem I hoped it would )
None of the above work as I want them to
Have fun
