Commit Genocide in the Twilight Forest! [Works exclusively NOT in 2.2.7]

[half nest]

The Geneva Convention is more of a suggestion anyway.

[The new EV+ Version that does not work in 2.2.7, but will work in any future versions]
The EEC will be adjusted to give Player-only drops at a reduced chance, which makes it possible to farm the amazing drops of redcap sappers and similar mobs in the EEC. See the item drop table of Redcap Sappers below.

[The Original Version which is Patched as of 2.2.7]
Step 1: Build a (cursed earth) mob farm in a **big **hollow hill in the Twilight Forest.
Step 2: Redcaps & Sappers and other mobs will spawn there. Gather them at one area.
Step 3: Set down a TC dynamism tablet with an unbreakable Tinkers Scythe with Looting III (or Looting IV).
Step 4: You probably want to succ, filter and process items first. Use Coal drops for power.
Step 5: Free Gallium, Aluminium, Steel, Gold, Iron, Diamonds, Coal, all TC shards, Balanced shards, Rubber (from Purple Slime), Mob drops, TC Treasures, XP, TC Aspect orbs and Real Estate. Auto-open TC Treasures with another dynamism tablet for free Primordial Pearls.

[Bonus]
Bonus Step 1: Use XP buckets and EnderIO autocrafters to produce the dusts of Copper, Tin, Nickel, Arsenic, Clay, Glass and Sulfur.
Bonus Step 2: Centrifuge the Lava dropped by Fire Beetles to get Silicon, Tantalum and Manganese.

If you use cursed earth, then for the love of god make Redstone controlled lights or your server will crash.
(Not recommended for big servers anyway)

Available at the nearest Big Hollow Hill, requires MV.

Spoilers show my loot after ~12h of running.

This has been fixed by https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/NewHorizonsCoreMod/pull/432 and no longer works as of version 2.2.7
No more Dynamism shenanigans :(

[noble acorn]

waaaait they drop primoridals?

[half nest]

I am, you're looking at the normal redcap, not the redcap sapper

[grim vigil]

my fault

[half nest]

also nether stars, thaumium gear and void gear apparently. Here's the full list: https://ftbwiki.org/Rare_Treasure

the armor drops damaged though, so it's instantly voided by my system :/

[jagged turtle]

Or you can just mine sphalerite in the end

[half nest]

I'd rather hit myself with a brick

Commit Genocide in the Twilight Forest!

[woeful drift]

I kinda want to switch to not peaceful now

[grim vigil]

i think gtnh must be without peaceful mode

I switched to peaceful once

And my smeltery enderman gone

[solemn lantern]

The rare thaum loot bags do yes

[grim vigil]

I clicked on your nickname and it was like

[solemn lantern]

Heh it’s purposely like that. Flash bang

[gray prawn]

no but you have a really small chance to get with a rare TC lootbag

[half nest]

seems pretty consistent, got another 2 since yesterday

[gaunt whale]

@half nest tried setting this up today and pretty quickly my hopper and chest below the tablet were blown up…does the scythe trigger creepers or the infernal mob “actions” like explosions when they die, etc? how did you get around this?

[half nest]

Indeed, they behave just like it were a player. I never noticed since I had the chunks claimed with FTBUtilities. If that's not an option then you can try putting down a puddle of water so the explosions don't break blocks

mobGriefing false is also possible, or you can apply enough sharpness to one-shot creepers, or weaken them with wooden spikes, or just blastproof everything and use an obsidian chest

[gaunt whale]

claiming chunks is supposed to stop that? seems to still be happening but i think it’s actually being caused by the infernal mob that drops tnt when it dies. think mobgriefing false will have to do for today, thanks

[steel quartz]

Unrelated, but how is your inventory darkmode?

[half nest]

The UU-Tex creator made a texture pack for it: https://github.com/Jimbno/Dark.UI

[half nest]

you have to disable explosions in your FTBU settings, the option is kinda hard to find

the tnt is dropped by redcap sappers

[regal scaffold]

Will this work with powered spawners?

[half nest]

Yes.

[regal scaffold]

so is it the dynamism tablet that bypasses the usual "does not drop in EEC" based drops?

[half nest]

Yes.

It's effectively just like a player would kill the mob

[regal scaffold]

!!!! oooh okay....

[gaunt whale]

yeah i realized mobgriefing wouldn’t help after i posted it lol, i’ll look for that setting, thanks!

[neat tree]

Yeah, are there anti-infernal solutions without adding mods to the pack? I think even with blast proofing, stuff will still break.

[jagged vigil]

Pray tell, what is the infernal modifier that drops live TNT? I don't think I've ever seen one of those

[vernal nova]

Out or curiosity, is there a reason you used obsidian plates instead of making the scythe out of magical wood then replacing all the parts with Unstable?

Just made a looting 3 unbreakable scythe with 26 damage unlevelled by doing that and I would've though that was the preferred choice

[half nest]

Not afaik, although the only issues I had so far were: Creepers and Sapper TNT (Fixed with claiming/blastproofing), Endermen picking up cursed earth (Fixed by mobGriefing/2 high ceilings/Wand focus warding) and infernals placing spiderwebs that slow down the mobs (Fixed by placing microblocks or string in these areas). The infernals are actually really useful and the only source of steel.

[half nest]

It's the Redcap Sappers

[half nest]

Yes, Unstable only works if the entire tool is made from it, I have a Vanadiumsteel Scythe blade and would probs like to upgrade once I get tungstensteel, you get enough modifiers from magical wood + xp anyway

[neat tree]

String doesn't prevent mob spawns? And wouldn't placing string prevent blast proofing cause you can't blast proof the strings themselves?

[half nest]

Oh right, the strings get blown up so it won't work, webs only get placed near the tablet though, so you only need to "webproof" the area next to the tablet, doesn't matter if mobs can't spawn there

[neat tree]

Can you warding blocks that are transparent?

If so, warded spectre.

[chilly basin]

how do you suck the exp? vacuum hoppers just get blow up

[vernal nova]

@chilly basin

chunks claimed with FTB utils so no explosions

[vernal nova]

True, I just found it more modifier efficient (since you get to dedicate 10 modifiers immediately to damage resulting in 26 damage with Looting III). I'd guessed the reason was due to the Unstable Ingot method being a little expensive compared to Vanadium Steel but wasn't entirely sure

[chilly basin]

that mob grinder makes an obsene amount of clay dust lol

[gaunt whale]

for anyone still running into an explosion issue…you may have to go into your ftb utilities config, look for forced explosions and disable that. this stops explosions from happening in claimed chunks and apparently is not on by default

[neat tree]

So no solutions without FTBUtils?

[vernal nova]

Probably some creative solution with warding or maybe water

[tulip harbor]

you can just turn mobgriefing off if it's your server

[half nest]

Vacuum hoppers work, you just need to suck the xp out with gt pipes and pumps. I use item conduits + speed upgrades for items

[half nest]

If your Scythe oneshots them they don't explode or drop tnt Welp, apparently not

Wooden spikes help with that

[chilly basin]

they don't, some creepers blow up the moment they take damage from any source

[neat tree]

Spikes also trigger explosions, I had a whole section of my bad mob farm get slapped by infernals cause it was made of spectre glass.

[chilly basin]

good enough? lol

alright, all that's left to do is make the spawning pads bigger

[chilly basin]

oh heck yeah

[neat tree]

Is the dynamism tablet itself blast-proof?

[chilly basin]

yes

the spikes too if you want to use them, though i suggest you don't

[gaunt whale]

mobgriefing doesn’t prevent tnt explosions just fyi

also i’ve had this running for a while and no primordial…do i need to have certain research unlocked in order for them to drop?

[chilly basin]

you get the primordial pearls from the treasure bags

[chilly basin]

so what could cause this? the grinder is still killing mobs that arrive afterwards but there are a ton of "mobs" still in the killing room

so it seems that having the tablet 1 tile above the water is unreliable

[kindred carbon]

@half nest you should overenchant your reaper

[half nest]

That's a nice idea, sadly it doesn't work with Tinkers Tools (guessing you're talking about the TC overenchanting table)

[half nest]

Do you have it always chunkloaded? The Tablet can be a bit tricky sometimes, I would recommend placing it 1 Block forward, into the pit, the AOE catches mobs standing on it as well

[kindred carbon]

Weird. Was it fixed? Because I still have overenchanted TiCo tools

[half nest]

Hol' up, I didn't check since they aren't enchantable in the first place

[tulip harbor]

up to 10 primordials now

[chilly basin]

Moving it 1 block down fixed the problem

[chilly basin]

How does one overenchant tc tools?

[kindred carbon]

by using the overenchanting table from kami

[chilly basin]

nice

[gray prawn]

if you've done magic, the primordial claymore can be used too as you can put it on aer affinity and it can kill everyone in a 4x4 area

and if you put unbreaking on it it's just as unbreakable (my farm was active 24/7 and never broke)

[remote escarp]

@pure bone

u would see for it

[pure bone]

когда-нибудь. но не факт, что с использованием проклятой земли.

[gray prawn]

now put them on crops and let the crop manager harvest them

[spark trail]

how do we prevent the redcaps from blowing up?

[chilly basin]

place water

like this should work fine, though you wont be able to have endeman that way

[remote escarp]

why not spikes with looting so?

[half nest]

They won't give you any of the special drops

Just Coal and ironwood gear

[spark trail]

used warding focus from thaum

[chilly basin]

Doesnt work to protect the vacuum hopper

[spark trail]

using item collector

[chilly basin]

that means you are wasting tons of exp lol

maybe filling it with thaumcraft flux would prevent them from placing tnt but allow enderman to not tp?

[golden frost]

how did you get JER in gtnh
i didn't find an older versions

and which treasure bag drop the pearl
the common and uncommon dont drop them
and i don't thinkk the redcap drop the rare one

[spark trail]

i had like 40 rares when coming back today

[half nest]

There are rare mobs from thaumcraft, they drop the rare treasures

[half nest]

It just ships with it, didn't modify any JEI stuff

[golden frost]

thanks

[vernal nova]

that also doesn't provide any benefit over the 50 damage AOE looting 4 scythe even if it did give all drops

[frozen shard]

It's not JER, it's kubatech or something I think

[gaunt whale]

anyone else have the issue where the scythe in the tablet isn’t active when you re-log? i sign back in, do stuff at my base and then visit the farm and the mobs are backed up, it’s swinging but not doing any damage. i have to take it out and put it back in to reactivate

this is single player btw

[orchid iron]

can you post farm schematics

[half nest]

As long as you don't mind paint [Edited, I got some distances wrong]

Lights are placed exactly 3 above the platform, with 2 blocks in between starting 1 from the wall

[orchid iron]

Build in test world max 20 fps 💀

[half nest]

That's what the lights are for

[long shell]

Anyone know if this works in the EEC?

[half nest]

It doesn't, there's even a special note about it if you inspect the drop table

[woven parrot]

I assume the steel and iron is from processing the armor drops?
And that the clay and copper dust is from a different farm?

[half nest]

Steel and Iron are from Fluid extracting Armor, Copper, Tin, Nickel, clay, glass, Arsenic and sulfur are autocrafted from XP buckets

I've played with the idea if setting up an IV Mainframe autoproduction solely with the output of this farm

It's theoretically possible

And I'm also producing Tantalum and Manganese with it by centrifuging the lava drops

[woven parrot]

a very roundabout source of renewable lava indeed

[orchid iron]

Done in survival but i have a question

if i chunkload farm with ftb chunks

will it works if no one is in Twilight

[half nest]

Yes, that's how it is for me at least, FTBU has a config where you can modify when chunkloading will be active

should be perma loaded by default

[faint crow]

How to get corrupt dirt?

[spark trail]

cursed earth you mean?

get a silk shovel, get an enchanting table, kill a wither to get a division sigil

place enchantment table on dirt

cover adjacent 8 dirt blocks with redstone

wait for sigil to glow

place pig on table

kill pig

mine dirt

run

[chilly basin]

if you dump the clay buckets the mobs drop in a super tank set to void fluid you can macerate the buckets for tons of clay dust

though you should keed the lava to centrifuge it into tantalite

[chilly basin]

farm got me this lol

[hybrid lake]

https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/NewHorizonsCoreMod/pull/432
looks like the fun is over

[chilly basin]

i'll just bump up the spawn rates until the update hits, no big deal

Please no

[sharp jacinth]

gladly steelux is on our side

[spark trail]

why tho

[hybrid lake]

huh? check the link... it's all there

[spark trail]

no i mean who thought it was a godd idea

[tacit ivy]

no fun allowed

[orchid iron]

only suffering will be accepted in greg

[tacit ivy]

not even op for the effort invested

[half nest]

Had this glitch a few times, apparently tablet commits sudoku, thus leaving behind a grave containing it's own head, while still existing and functioning normally

Might have something to do with vengeance special mobs.

[chilly basin]

this thing is doing great lol

[orchid iron]

off camera farming

[kindred saffron]

So is this still works in 2.2.7?

[frozen shard]

I'll never update past the version this works in

[half nest]

I don't think so, you can try though

[hybrid lake]

hm... made a setup for charms... tablet refuses to hit mobs

the same tablet with the same weapon)

any ideas why?)

[hybrid lake]

they say these drops will be implemented in EEC

[half nest]

Yea, it can be funky sometimes, might want to reposition it or mess with chunkloading a bit and allow fake players in ftbu

it has a pretty short range as well and sucks at hitting moving targets

[hybrid lake]

nah... it was some sort of permissions on the maze territory

just made farm to stick the part with table out of maze and it started to hit mobs)

[half nest]

Commit Genocide in the Twilight Forest! [Patched as of 2.2.7]

sigh

[sharp jacinth]

[half nest]

It was fun guys :'-)

[sharp jacinth]

sadly fun isn't allowed

[hybrid lake]

what was fun about it?

drops?

they're gonna be avaliable in EEC soon

[orchid iron]

it was really funny

[frozen shard]

I read the comments on the PR as well, but I don't believe for a second it will actually be added to the EEC. Many drops are clearly marked as not existing in the EEC, so they've already intentionally removed a lot. That's a late game machine anyway. It doesn't make sense to have player only drops in an automation pack, but sometimes the devs prioritize trolling players over all else

If you're in 2.2.3 though, another good mob to farm is fire beetles for fiery metal which you can burn for fuel in magic energy converters

[sharp jacinth]

talked to Dream, he's agrees that custom drop should be automatable, boub confused us and himself about Dreams intentions... he'll think about details later

smth like that

so i guess we have some chances

[frozen shard]

My opinion doesn't really matter, but I think the best solution would be if the dynamism tablet and killer joe could both get player only drops, but be a little more expensive than they currently are

[sharp jacinth]

no

tablet usable in many cases

not only mobfarms

and they'll remove playerdrops from tabler not because of balance but because of code issues

[frozen shard]

But there's also golem core "use" to subsume the other uses of dynamism tablets

[sharp jacinth]

golems

eugh

don't use so awful words in public kid

[frozen shard]

Lol golems do be like that huh

[hybrid lake]

looks like never had a good one)

[hardy current]

Genocide continues as simulation!

[sharp jacinth]

yay now we can simulate genocide

[kindred saffron]

So all player drops now will be available in EEC?

[sharp jacinth]

yep

[kindred saffron]

Good thing, tho i am currently as far from EEC as from stargate

But it's probably worth it

[sharp jacinth]

it really is

lagless mobfarm that needs only energy to work faster

what else can man dream of

[half nest]

Damn, I was already building a version of this farm for 2.2.7

Turns out TNT ignited by a player does player-damage and gives special drops

This "player-tnt" attribute gets passed to tnt blocks ignited by the player ignited one and so forth

meaning you can build an infinite chain of explosions that gives you special drops, you just need to feed it one TNT every <4s

and manually ignite the first one

[half nest]

Commit Genocide in the Twilight Forest! [Works exclusively NOT in 2.2.7]

[ancient topaz]

should i leave the spawners?

[half nest]

You mean the normal spawners in the hollow hill? You can break them if they're in the way, they are not relevant for this farm

Though if you're not planning on staying in 2.2.3 or earlier, building this farm is not really recommended anymore

[ancient topaz]

i'm doing it with diamond spikes, i need the rubber from the slimes and regular drops like rotten flesh

seems better than a regular mob farm, the only problem is that it's in twilight

[chilly basin]

i think i'm gona have to tear down lol, the dynamism tablet has started to make my world crash a bunch sadly

[lime plinth]

well, now you have a really good scythe yu can upgrade with quartz to one shot the wither or smth

[chilly basin]

You dont get any more modifers once you hit lvl 20 or something, it's useless lol

Also i make stars using salis mundus

[topaz niche]

what the f*ck

[zealous frost]

They aren’t supposed to

[lime plinth]

arent supposed to in reference to gtnh, or in general?

[waxen pewter]

dynamism tablet acts like a player, so you can use it to level tinkers tools as well

[zealous frost]

Both

[zealous frost]

Not anymore

Kuba nuked that for some reason

I don’t know why though, it’s a stupid change

[waxen pewter]

I thought kuba just nuked rare drops, not player sim

[zealous frost]

I thought he nuked both

Because the rare drops are related to player sim

[dawn owl]

what's the rubber from?

[lime plinth]

what rubber

[topaz niche]

i want miocene epoch tool

[half nest]

Slime Blocks, Purple ones give straight rubber pulp, the others raw rubber dust

Also glue, but that's just getting voided at this point

[half nest]

Some dynamism shenanigans still work, like using a toolbox on a maintenance hatch. Pretty sure it's just the drops that got affected, but idk, I'm still in 2.2.3

[dawn owl]

still? it came out like... wait that was a couple months ago...

[grand elk]

[steel estuary]

Btw, what is EEC? 👀

[forest flower]

Random guy here

This doesn’t work post 2.2.7 right?

(No one will see this message)

[chilly basin]

nope, you still get some drops but not the good ones

[forest flower]

so what im hearing is

find the config file and paste the 2.2.3 one in there

the drops one fr

[half nest]

You could probably just undo the changes made in this commit: https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/NewHorizonsCoreMod/pull/432/files

A config file edit most likely won't be enough to revert this, the devs changed the code to prevent it

[forest flower]

Oh wait

That’s what you guys meant

I thought theychanged the drops if the mobs

Not changed how the dynamism tablet works

[half nest]

No, they didn't, you'll still get Alu ingots if you kill Redcap sappers by hand

[forest flower]

i may not know java but I know enough c++ to understand java syntax

time to fuck around

[half nest]

Pretty sure you just have to delete the added lines of code

[forest flower]

i was looking for the file path in the github and it says its src/main/java/com/dreammaster/modcustomdrops/CustomDropHandler.java but i cant find that path in my modpack

[forest flower]

Do you know where I could look for it?

Wait maybe

[half nest]

it's in here: \.minecraft\mods\GTNewHorizonsCoreMod-2.1.109.jar\com\dreammaster\modcustomdrops\

Just open the .jar as an archive with 7zip

[forest flower]

your a genius!

[forest flower]

Do you know what I could open it with? I tried Visual Studio but it says "The documents format is either unsupported or contains binary characters, opening with a different application"

when using notepad strange characters are mixed in everywhere because it doesnt support them

(i mean the file inside modcustomdrops)

i wonder if its because its a .class instead of .java

[half nest]

The contents are compiled code and thus can't be read/edited, you can try and copy an old version .class file and see if it works

[forest flower]

oh good idea

[forest flower]

https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/NewHorizonsCoreMod/commit/e0e5b8df9a32e3c1b09f609e4cfc6a24904c92ab#diff-3dc1754aa2b4bc6cf0fdb1922d65e1f6d4bddd90783748ff8142f3a590b2181e

I havent tested this yet, but I copied the class from 2.2.3 to it and decided to look over the commits to the file besides the change weve been talking about.

the link above shows the only commit to it post the change and looking through im thinking it was just useless code that got removed so hopefully nothing breaks

actually looking through they did change it to use enums but since it still has what it needs imported that shouldnt break it i think?

[forest flower]

New plan I shall just compile the edited code form GitHub and use that

[forest flower]

That would give me the .class

not just compling and running

wait

if i use javac on ubuntu

i bet i can do it

[forest flower]

Cool I did it

[forest flower]

Once I cleared out an area in a large hollow hill the sappers stopped spawning that’s wierd

Not even normal redcaps

Just kobalds and such

[chilly basin]

hollow hill only goes down to a certain Y level, the farm needs to spawn mobs high enough

[forest flower]

kobolds are spawning tho

just not redcaps

@chilly basin do you think each mob has different y level requirments in the hill?

[chilly basin]

kobolds spawn anywhere underground

just raise the floor 1 tile at a time and see when they start spawning again

[forest flower]

You probably just saved me

[kind raven]

Does this still work?

[forest flower]

Depends what version your in

[half nest]

Yesn't, use an EEC for it, that works. Dynamism Tablet + Weapon no longer works

[forest flower]

whats the config in FTButil that needs to be changed?

i changed a - to a + for this one setting and stuff still gets blown up

[forest flower]

I’m also having a cobweb problem

[half nest]

My settings

if that doesn't work just disable mobGriefing

[half nest]

Place string or microblocks in the killzone of the farm

[forest flower]

How do you get to this menu?

Is that only in single player

Like for a server do you have to go into the files for it?

Idk

[half nest]

Friends -> Yourself -> Settings

[grave glade]

for anyone else trying to make farms like this, redcaps/beetles spawn where standing says y=30 at minimum
(at least for this hill, idk if it's different per hill, but i imagine it's probably not, since twilight is completely flat)

(i didn't test maximum Y yet)

and as for horizontal range, they seem to spawn within the approximate bounds of the hollow hill
(i properly extended the cursed earth further afterwards and there was nothing, mostly enderminis)

it's really sounding like this is the most lucrative farm in MV, going off those original screenshots, cant wait to get one running

[old crater]

i know this a very old thread is kinda farm still viable in more modern versions ?

[half nest]

Kinda, you can EEC the drops of Redcap Sappers at a reduced rate now. With perfect OC of the EEC this scales pretty good, but some drops (e.g. TC lootbags) are not obtainable this way.

[old crater]

i personally wanted it for the rubber alu and the other stuff for mv
i got it working but it would require maxing out a sycthe and to have to manually afk it to get kills which im not sure on if i want to commit to it

[half nest]

You can use dia spikes instead of Dynamism Tablet + Scythe now - the tablet does not grant any additional drops now

I don't know if you can get alu this way, but rubber via slime definetely works

[old crater]

u can get alu from kobolds

however dia spieks dont wokr due to the drop being only player drops

i know dia spikes simulate player kill but on the mobs tooltip it says hard locked to player only kills to get the drops

[half nest]

Then alu is impossible - even with scythe + tablet

[old crater]

Auto clicker + scythe with lifesteal works

[half nest]

Yes, that works

[half nest]

be careful with pinch beetles though, they can be buggy with their grab range

[old crater]

hm thats something id have to figure out in testing, ty

[drifting birch]

You could make a vanilla mob sorter to drop pinch beetles into another kill chamber.

It would probably take some investigation to figure out how to get just the pinch beetles and not other similarly shaped mobs.

You could also make the wall you stand behind made of the glass that players can walk through but mobs cannot. Then, on the far side of the kill chamber you can have a double piston extender that can push you at least to the wall. I'm not quite sure how you could get yourself pushed completely through to the other side of the wall, but you could probably figure something out. Maybe the bottom of the glass wall drops into a chamber below everything and then bounce pads can automatically take you all the way back to the farming area? Anyway, you trigger the Pistons with a player detector. That way if you end up inside the chamber by any means, you get pushed out of it immediately.

I'm not quite sure what happens to the pinch beetle if you get pushed through such a wall though.

If you have some source of fire resistance like the pigman backpack, then you could have your passive standing location be in lava. That ought to take care of any pinch beetles if they get pushed through the wall with you

[old crater]

the way i had it setup was all the mobs would fall into a pool of water and then be pushed towards me, i was sat in a hole in water for fire dmg hitting through a half slab hole
i would have to test for at least like an hour to see if i dont get touched by a beettle

[gusty zephyr]

I have another problem, there's too much skeletons and zombies, this guys won't spawn, maybe you can give me advice?

[half nest]

You could experiment with spawn area height (e.g. < 2 Blocks tall, with slabs or microblocks) as redcaps seem smaller

Though if they do not spawn at all then your spawn area Y-level might be too high/low

The actual hollow hill and the space in which they can spawn in can be somewhat disjointed

[gusty zephyr]

Raised >y30, they spawn, but dynamic tablet not works (there's line "only player" in drops config).

[grave glade]

yea back then I didn't really consider the possibility of the Y value being unique per-hill

[grave glade]

what a bold claim lmao, I hadn't even made it far into MV at the time

funny looking back on this stuff

I guess they've nerfed the drops since then, but I'm sure it's still valuable in some way, like witch circle spawner farms

reprocessed metals from infernals, and maybe infinite rubber slime from beetles, if it drops

still a huge volume of drops, by the nature of cursed earth farms

[half nest]

They nerfed/patched the tablet to not give player drops some time ago, it's noted in the post

[vivid granite]

I was wondering if there was a video walking through this setup/showing how to get it built and running? I'd like to implement this in my world as I'm almost at MV and this seems invaluable

[half nest]

No video, but there's a rough schematic #1043532563240718367 message

[remote escarp]

is there an alternative way to get player only drops without ... the player?

[vivid granite]

and this has to be done in one of the big hills? Do i need to build around spawners or anything like that?

Also i noticed that it recommends using the EEC now, can this even be done in MV?
