Vendidurt
Eye of Cthulhu
(WIP)
This little beauty is my Easy-mode Rotten Chunk/Vile Mushroom farm, and it works just fine if converted to a Vertebrae farm. The overall footprint is 300 wide by roughly 100 tall in a rectangle. The farm itself is 200-wide with 50 columns of sand on the sides to block outside spawns.
These images show the dart trap battery, my BFG 42! (44, more accurately). This is the killing machine. Those corrupted beasts never stood a chance!
To start it, simply flick the lever to release a bird and keep walking to the right nonstop. The bird flies across several evenly-spaced pressure plates and activates each column of dart traps in a good rhythm before hitting a final button and quicklyand painlessly removing himself from the machine via another trap built just for him!
Before, I didnt use a bird and just manually turned on all 7 timers but it is hard to time it properly so I let my bird, who is much better at this than I am, do the work for me.
The dart traps in front have been set to the background by Actuators so the ones behind can shoot through. Activate them once with an actuator and then remove the actuator. They will continue to shoot just fine but will be "background" objects so everything can pass through.
The two normal, non "super" traps in the shooting mechanism are only there to clear out the corruption thorns. They look ugly and may or may not impact spawning. They are set one block behind the traps set to fire so the weak ones do not accidentally hit the monsters instead. If making a Crimson farm they are not needed. Also, if one has access to more Super Dart Traps one can use them instead and line them up for a cleaner look.
You will see small red blocks on my walking path. Those are honey block speedbumps that keep me moving at a slow pace. Slow is good. They are 4-5 blocks apart to guarantee I cannot walk too fast. The path lasts 200 blocks and stops at a teleporter with a pressure plate on top. That teleporter will take you to the one you can see here so you can jam a popsicle stick in your analog stick and leave it on overnight.
This is the top of the machine, and one I have yet to see from anyone else. These 12 rows of corrupted grass pop mushrooms up left and right. All the rows are hooked to actuators (and this part makes it rather expensive). Mushrooms drop to the same place you are collecting Rotten ChunksThe dart traps from below also have 2 wires sticking out. This lets me use the same timers on the darts as the grass. There are also 12 plain, ordinary dart traps also on the same wire, to shoot out corrupt thorns that just clog up the grow zones. This can be made to use any mushrooms. Just change the corrupt grass to ordinary or mushroom grass instead, and you will not need the darts here either. I use two wires instead of one because I vaguely remember seeing something about a 2000-wire limit and any single string of wires bigger will not work properly. Please tell me if I am mistaken.
This machine gives you all the Worm Food you can eat, but is it useful in any other way? Two at least!
1. Spawn the Eater of Worlds in the middle of the machine and it will shred, absolutely MANGLE the Eater for you.
2. Built close to the center, this will eradicate any Goblins or Pirates that decide to pay a friendly visit.
---------
Overall Materials: A rough estimate
Advanced Dart Traps: 42 in my design, more is always better
Dart Traps: 15 here. 1 for the bird suicide button, 2 more to clear thorns, and 12 for 12 mushroom platforms
Teleporters: 2
Actuators: 2400-2500.
Wires: Roughly 3000. Could be more.
There are so many wires and actuators for the mushroom spawns. Literally 200 of each for one line of them. Make less if necessary, but do not be afraid to invest in this.
---------
Benefits
Unending supplies of Worm Food/Mushrooms
Enough Eater of Soul banners to become an annoyance
Full sets of Ancient Shadow Armor
Immunity from Pirates
The envy of everyone and their dog.

Please leave feedback as I take all criticism constructively. This farm was made in a dedicated world which is going to stay in Easymode. Please ask any questions you may have, and anybody on PSN can check my farm out if they so choose. PSN name= Vendidurt
When adding me please be sure to tell me you are from this forum or I will likely ignore you.
