A very good* AFK Money Farm in Terraria

money farming is one of the oldest traditions in Terraria but the money foam I'm going to describe here absolutely dwarfs every single money from you've seen before it easily generates five Platinum per minute and that's the unoptimized version and everything you need to make it can be obtained pre-mechanical bosses this phone was made by Dino chest and Quasar over on the Terraria Discord and forms I talked to them a good amount about the foam had done a little bit of testing and gotten permission from them to make this video but pretty much all the work came from those two I'm going to link to a very detailed post on the forums from Dino chest in the description go check that out for an in-depth analysis on the phone and explanation as to why certain things are used and be sure to thank the mobile on the Discord if you see them the basis of this foam is the lucky coin this accessory can be obtained from Pirate invasions and causes every attack to have a chance to make enemies drop coins simple the fun part is maximizing how many times per second we can trigger that lucky coin drop chance I'm going to go over two versions of this phone one being pretty easy to build and the other being extremely optimized the theoretical best phone possible the idea is to use black recluses which can now be consistently found by crafting unsafe walls with Shimmer then then using teleporters and Hoyts to force the recluses into a small box which has a bunch of weak minions summoned inside of it each minion will hit the dozens of recluse as many times per second for one damage each generating a massive amount of money this is what you'll need to bring a finch staff which can be obtained by shimmering a living wood wand if you don't get one in a chest a flank staff crafted with gold or platinum and flinks fur a vampire fog staff obtained from wandering eye fish and zombie Momen unsafe spider walls which can be obtained by shimmering normal spider walls which are crafted with cobwebs at a graveyard teleporters are Grand Design in a quarter second timer which can be purchased from the mechanic as many minion slots as you can obtain at the very least I would bring spider armor a pygmy necklace and a bewitching table for six minion slots which is how I'll be showing this off a statue that spawns a phyto enemy such as the skeleton Undead Viking or a zombie and most importantly a lucky coin or one of its upgrades and something to increase your pickup range like a greedy ring or a treasure magnet don't forget about one of those last two if you don't have increased pickup range coins will start to despawn before you can pick them up because that's just how fast this thing generates money these next parts are optional but I highly recommend them 1500 sand Sandstone or houdin sand and some Sandstone walls to make an underground desert biome to boost spawn weights you could make a jungle biome instead Which is less effective but will still provide a spawn rate boost a garden gnome and a water candle lava or background walls to increase spawn rate efficiency and a slime staff which is a little trickier to obtain than the other minions but it does make the Foam more efficient to start with mine out a large area in the world it's easiest to dig this out in Freehold mode before you have to deal with hug mode enemies Mark the center of the spot you'll be standing in and then go at least 84 blocks in either direction horizontally 49 blocks upwards and 43 downward this is what a box of the minimum size looks like but there's no Home in making it bigger in fact I'd recommend it just to be safe you just need to make sure nothing else can spawn within range of your phone besides the spiders if you can sit right here and nothing spawns no enemies nearby on the radar you're good the blocks you use for this don't matter but I'm using gemspark blocks to color code everything start by building a room 14 blocks wide and 5 tall with the leftmost part being the center of the square that you moat this is where you'll be standing so remember where that is put the statue on the right end with a block to prevent it from moving be sure to put a water candle in the butching table down too then build this spider trap just left of it use a hammer to hammer blocks into the shape shown here and the background walls and lack thereof are important because they affect how spiders move make sure there are not walls in this box here the hammered triangle blocks are the fifth block above the teleporter thirdly we're going to build our underground desert biome Place 1500 blocks of either sand Sandstone or houdin sand just to the right of your box close enough that enemies won't be able to spawn on it this is a 50 tall 30 wide box of sand shown here then put Sandstone walls behind where you're going to be standing when farming you'll hear the music change to underground desert that's your cue that you did correctly lastly go 62 blocks left of the center spot that you marked in at least 34 but no more than 46 blocks down I recommend 40 as a nice even number we're going to build the spider spawning platform now you want to build a box 22 wide and 5 tall with four teleporters on the second to bottom row spaced three blocks a poet like this put three blocks on top of each teleporter and this barrier on the side is optional but helps to avoid spiders falling in the lava that brings the length to 24 blocks if included if the barrier is too far away from you and allows enemies to spawn on it put walls or bubble blocked lava on top of it to prevent that next put those shinwood spider walls on the blocks make sure each of the top layer of blocks has a wall behind it if you get any enemies that are not spiders you missed a spot with the walls or you left some blocks open to spawn on then go ahead and flood the floor with lava even if it's out of range of enemy spawning this will still boost spawn weights due to how the game spawns enemies to wire this simply take all four color wires and go from a quarter second timer to the teleporters Branch off one of each color to each teleporter down here and then link the four colored wire to the teleporter under the spider trap also why I was switched to the Statue to spawn one enemy there and voila you're done just go back to your spot at the center spawn the statue enemy and Target it by right clicking with a minion staff then summon one flinx one frog one slime and as many finches as you can into that box targeting the statue enemy traps the finch and is why it needs to be there if your finches are escaping they're either too close to the Statue enemy you set up the Trap incorrectly or you didn't Target it properly just activate the quarter second timer and watch the money roll in on average I found this version to get about 52 to 53 platinum in 10 minutes there was a decent amount of variation though also if you're not using the Slime staff or did a jungle instead of a desert or anything like that you'll be getting a little less money so that's the easy version but we can take this a lot further and we can get a lot more money out of it so let's get to optimizing this foam here was built by Quasar directly and they just sent me the world file to start with the for the worthy seed increases the spawn cap so we're doing this on that seed I'm also using 10 minion slots this can be done post-plan tarot with a summoning potion in Pumpkin Moon summon Buffs or post Moon Lord with no summoning potion if you haven't noticed I'm avoiding potions because this is at its core in AFK firm you could use Battle of summoning potions but that's not something that's ideal for afking be careful not to buff your minion damage too high as long as the vampire frog is 18 or less damage you should be fine rather than a quarter second timer there are two dummy engines to rapidly activate these pressure plates and send signals to the teleporters much more frequently a third dummy engine activates one of the teleporters again to avoid accidental teleporting of spiders backwards and there are spawning platforms on both sides of the foam instead of just one a wall of walls helps to boost spawn weights further and block swapped platform hoytics are here to avoid recluses from walking out of the teleporter area I summoned my fog Flink slime and all seven finches and let the spiders crawl in I let it run for a couple minutes to stabilize the spider spawns and then get the timer started and immediately it is off to an unbelievable start in just one minute I already have over 10 Platinum coins and the pace just doesn't let up by the 10 minute Mark I have over 102 Platinum that is the best possible money foam in Terraria completely AFK fairly easy to set up and absurdly efficient you will never be short of money for reforging 30 seconds in this thing gives you enough money to buy a companion cube 10 seconds for a contaminator if you got a coin gun which is fairly likely considering that you found for a lucky coin you could easily keep it supplied with Platinum coins which makes an unbelievably powerful weapon seriously I highly recommend trying the coin gun and keeping it supplied with ammo from this because it will annihilate pretty much every boss in the game 10 Platinum every minute it just doesn't get better than that
