Complete layout is here:

Every room is the same, 15x15,
Caveling rooms and slime rooms in the excel chart are a little chaos, you have to put spawning tiles like this

in order to not have any infights, cavelings and slimes are not spawned together

and about spawning tiles, around 400 for each, you can see the complete layout on the right side

#

all the items scrapped in one night

crimson spruce
#

Good yields nonetheless.

dense kraken
#

yes

#

and as I thought, salvage boxes is not enough for 8 hours for an extended version

#

really hope there's auto scrap machine

#

filled 3 salvage boxs with 15 mins

crimson spruce
#

Seems like too much scrap, what do you use them for?

dense kraken
#

sell for coins

#

that's why I build mobfarm originally for

#

but it's a little excessive now

crimson spruce
#

is it: 1 scrap = 1 AC(ancient coin)?

dense kraken
#

yes

crimson spruce
#

It's great for upgrading then.

dense kraken
#

you can even sell solarite bars

#

it's too many

#

speaking of upgrades, those ice tile mobs even drops this

dense kraken
#

It takes 5 hours to fill up every salvage boxes and bug chests

dense kraken
#

now I'm considering changing my left side and right side to sand and sea sand due to low spawn rate of them

crimson spruce
dense kraken
#

400 tiles which means total usage on this mobfarm

#

all rooms combined

crimson spruce
#

I see, just a miss communication, my bad.

dense kraken
#

was considering to test this

dense kraken
#

update: bomb scarab area survived a night, I'll stick to this design from now on

sharp canyon
#

I couldn’t find any good spot to align the mob farm in the middle of the Desert and Suken Sea; the border keeps jumping around between them, which is kinda annoying.

#

From what I’ve seen in the loot table, the item drops from Scholar and Sentry are already pretty solid. So, does minmaxing with Crab and Tentacle (which also have a low spawn chance per tile) really give any notable loot that I might be missing?

dense kraken
#

the location I picked is not perfect, too

#

but for my experience on this mobfarm

#

due to sea tentacles and crabs is spawn far more often than bomb scarabs

#

basically full on sand, and less on sea sand is ok

#

and have to notice, during few days' testing, bomb scarab explosion still happens, few days a time

#

except that, nothing break during the process

sharp canyon
#

Yea, I’m planning to build the whole thing in the Desert

#

but I can not find any solution for the Bomb Scarab, they blew up both conveyor belts and radiation crystals

dense kraken
#

then there's no crab and sea tentacle

#

bomb scarabs seens explode when there's something they can hostile in the same screen

#

which means when it is on low health, there's something spawn in the same screen, it will explode in that second

#

it's really hard to avoid

#

except you're using 30+ of mold tentacles on the both side

#

to stun it to death

#

I'm not write it in the layout because it's so impractical

#

when you're getting that point, you're already have a decent mobfarm

sharp canyon
#

I tested blocking them in a separate 4-edged room with the radiation crystal outside, but they still exploded. Or maybe it was because I was there?

dense kraken
#

or just duping that mold tentacle figs

#

yes

#

you're the one who they can hostile

#

player included

#

they must be killed out of your sight

sharp canyon
#

So if my character is off-screen or out of range, they'll slowly die without exploding?

#

got it

dense kraken
#

yes

#

still thinking better solutions, but for now it's the best I can come out

sharp canyon
dense kraken
#

the best way is to keep about a room's range clear

#

but it may waste too much space for them

#

being even more inefficient on this mobfarm

sharp canyon
#

yesterday I spent hours, finding good spot

image.png
#

Its so annoying when the border is a diagonal line

#

Also, the Sea and Desert keep getting messily mixed together

#

🥹

dense kraken
#

but it may be a good thing

#

upper side is sea biome water, and down side is desert biome water

image.png
#

somehow my center area is mixed

#

from the figs I've harvested so far

sharp canyon
#

Oh, so you tried fishing to find out the biome's range?

dense kraken
#

it's no problem with sea biome spawn, compared to bomb scarab's spawn

#

yes, because there's auto fish mod

#

you can actually auto fish in the mobfarm

sharp canyon
#

That’s a good idea, I’ll give it a try

#

I realized that I can put Mold Tentacle into the Materializer

image.png
#

Should multiple of these stun the Bomb Scarab to death?

dense kraken
#

yes

#

if you putting like 30+

#

bomb scarabs will be stun to death for sure

sharp canyon
dense kraken
#

thank you for appreciating my mobfarm 😄

elder steppe
#

Thanks to Kizu and Alpogu for helping me out, we have now created the same farm but with some slight modifications, still unsure of what's boosing the mob spawn rate but the salvage tables are filling up at least 5 times faster than the original design(I'm scared)https://youtu.be/hLCoSN3956M

dense kraken
#

added your video link to my video, thank you 😄

dense kraken
#

inspired by Arisa and Alpogu's modifications, now it's 3 time of salvage boxes that can content more equipments, and place the chests on the front to filter out loots other than equipments to prevent you keep getting them while salvaging

dense kraken
sharp canyon
dense kraken
#

I do the oppisite way, actually

sharp canyon
#

Oh no, should mine work?

dense kraken
#

center is slightly off, but basically divide every room to 4 sections

#

a whole mob grid for a room

#

there will be too many of spawning tiles

#

causes waste

sharp canyon
#

So the best way is to have the center of the grid line up with the center of the entire structure?

dense kraken
#

yes

#

mine is slightly lean to left

#

like 1 tile off

sharp canyon
#

Your center is a bit off, right? If I start building, I should place the center right in the middle, yeah?

dense kraken
#

yes

#

I found out this after I finish the project...and I don't want to tear down all of this and build it again

#

it takes me about 30 hours to do so

sharp canyon
#

Good thing I’ve just only used floor tiles to draw straight lines for easier observation and alignment, pheww

dense kraken
#

😄

sharp canyon
# dense kraken 😄

You used the Glass Bridge and Shimmering Water to increase lighting and for decoration, right?

dense kraken
#

yes, that's pure decoration purpose

sharp canyon
#

But I still can’t figure out the reason why you arranged them alternately like this

image.png
#

is that for some special reason?

dense kraken
#

because the water beneath conveyers still have its light

#

I use this to illuminate the spawning room

#

but the purpose is not that obvious because radiation crystal also light up the room

#

so it just convenient when you set up your spawning room

#

easier to measure the tiles

sharp canyon
#

Oh, I see

#

Maybe I'll just build entirely with grounds first and make holes in the ceiling when I have a bit of free time🥹

dense kraken
#

it is actually developes from my pre 1.0 design

#

back days, water beneath sea water or lava is much more brighter

#

that literally light up the whole room with lava

#

and the whole room with sea water

sharp canyon
#

yea, I see, since punching holes in a 9x9 cells is gonna be painful 🥹

dense kraken
#

To addition, where my mobfarm originally located

1727072710271.jpg
sharp canyon
dense kraken
#

in the latest version, there's only 1 line left

#

the reason use 3 lines of robot arms, because back in the days, mob has a bug that will teleport mob away for no reason

#

that's why my center area is surround by a line of water

#

to prevent zombies breaking in

#

but in the 1.0 version, at least at the radiation farm, it's stable enough

sharp canyon
#

Oh, I see. So I’ll use one line of robot arms to bring the items to the center room to save more space
But I think that bug still happens, maybe. In some of my old simple mob farms, I sometimes see mobs suddenly appear outside the farm. Not sure why because all the rooms are fully sealed with Maze Blocks

dense kraken
#

for my observation, because I built large scale mobfarm before, and using mob infight as damage source

#

when zombies accumulated to a very large size

#

bugs happens

sharp canyon
#

Ohhh, now that you mention it, I just realized one of my old mob farms that uses the infight model often has mobs appearing outside the farm.
But another model that separates allied mobs and lets them die from the Radiation Crystal or Turret doesn’t have this issue

dense kraken
#

mob infight type mobfarm seens usually got this issue, when your damage source is not enough, mobs will accumulate

dense kraken
#

actually doing some tutorials for setting up the mobfarm, hope it's clear enough

sharp canyon
# dense kraken

Oh, that’s awesome! This could help a lot of people set up an advanced mob farm

dense kraken
#

since it's modularized mobfarm, actually only 3 type of spawning room there

#

so it's not hard to write a setup tutorial

dense kraken
sharp canyon
#

@dense kraken Hey Kizu, did Tentacles even spawn on those mini ocean water spot on Desert side?

image.png
dense kraken
#

actually it doesn't

sharp canyon
#

🥹

dense kraken
#

just for symmetric, and lighting purpose

sharp canyon
#

ok so I will change that spot to something else

dense kraken
#

you can change to something else

#

like shroom

#

with spike

#

to spawn more mushrooms

sharp canyon
#

I just found a world with a straight-line border between the Ocean and the Desert

dense kraken
#

that's good

#

so perfect

sharp canyon
#

I will move all my base to this world

#

I use the World Edit Command mod, which can copy and paste objects, and it even works between worlds too

dense kraken
#

that's even more like shapez2 or captain industry

elder steppe
sharp canyon
# elder steppe Wait it works between worlds too?

Yes, at first, I didn’t think it would work. I copied the entire mob farm, forgot about it, and created a new world. Then I used the paste command, and boom, it pasted the whole mob farm into the new world just like that

#

However, there are a few things to note:

  • When copying, make sure character is standing inside/near the structure you want to copy before using the copy command. That way, it will copy all the objects like machines and chests with items inside.
  • Prepare the area where you're pasting. You'll need to clear it beforehand, I use the "removearea" command with the "-r" option to remove all objects in the area, so there’s no overlap with the original objects when pasting.
  • After pasting, objects that were placed vertically might get rotated horizontally, so will have to manually fix them (This is a bug of the World Edit mod).
dense kraken
#

slightly edited the tutorial file, maybe it's a little better

sharp canyon
#

Thank you so much, Kizu, for the mob farm design and for answering my questions all this time.
Today, I finally finished my own mob farm and even added a few personal tweaks
Everything is working perfectly, but sometimes the Bomb Scarab area is still a bit unstable and explodes randomly, so I'm doing some research on that
Once again, thank you so much, @dense kraken 🩷

image.png
dense kraken
#

you're welcome 😄

#

I'm trying to cut bomb scarab part in half to test if that will explode or not

sharp canyon
#

yea, I’m also suspending the Bomb Scarab area to do some more research
one time, I was driving the rail cart around that area, and a nearly-dead Bomb Scarab popped into my view and exploded CavelingSkull

dense kraken
#

that's inevitable, I think
