Fully Automated Dungeon Ectoplasm + Money Grinder (6000 ectoplasm/hr + a MASSIVE 55 Platinum/hr)

No, you need consecutive teeth with all (size 2 or below) item hoiks (which is virtually all of them), including the ectoplasm hoik shown in the video.would the item hoiking blocks work if they were every other tile?

Not from mob statue spawned mobs, no. As of 1.3 on PC. Still possible on console, mobile, I believe.You no longer get ectoplasm from statues?

You could try taking a photo of your screen with mobile, at worst, and embedding that. Or hosting it on the internet externally (if that’s possible via Xbone (?) and embedding it via the image button (in the post editor) and inserting the URL.I would upload a picture, but I don’t know how.

The mimics are significantly slower to kill than skarks, so that makes sense. Did you manage to hoik the mimics ok, and do you have natural dungeon spawns being ground up too?it comes out to around 300 ecto an hour

I’m happy with it; I just thought other people might find it useful. Although this has got me wondering whether dungeon spirits count as a “spawn”, as it happens on screen. And if, by blocking all other spawns in the dungeon, I’d get more dungeon spirits out of the mimics.Yeah, that looks pretty good, I’m not sure if the mimic statues would stop at 3 because of the close proximity, but overall if you’re getting 720/hour, that’s pretty good. I’m not the one to ask about advice, but to me, if you’re able to have it that compact and functional, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.

If I ever find a shark statue (not convinced they’re on console yet) then I’ll alter the chambers accordingly.mimic statues would stop at 3 because of the close proximity

Cool. An easy alternative might be to suspend the statues above, using the teleporter pad float trick, to just drop the mimics/sharks into place (in future). To get the 13 tile distance for 6 mobs (or 37.5 tiles for 10 mobs at a time, even).I have successfully hoiked the mimics to the lava and spiky ball traps

No, sorry. You can see from @DicemanX’s original video that it doesn’t get hoiked all the way along in one step, which means it’s size 1, requiring alternating actuation. Also meaning that the ecto-hoik has to go left to right, unfortunately.ectoplasm is a size 2 item correct?

The spike based damage blocking is great if you can still get it (doesn’t work on PC now). If his player based hoik engine is too jarring (shaking the screen) then stick with a skeleton hoik engine, or your bird engine, etc.

I don’t think so. There might be a chance that the spirits would slow down other dungeon spawns a little, but not vice-versa. Should be a straight probability, as with regular kill drops.if, by blocking all other spawns in the dungeon, I’d get more dungeon spirits out of the mimics.

It doesn’t; it only happens when the game auto-saves, otherwise it’s fine.If his player based hoik engine is too jarring (shaking the screen)

You don’t get hoik based screen shake on consoles? Is that because the camera control is intrinsically different there?It doesn’t

I’m only getting hoiked one tile either way, so it doesn’t appear to move. I’ve got a farm where I’m hoiked back and forth every minute or so through a collection tunnel, and that shakes the camera.You don’t get hoik based screen shake on consoles? Is that because the camera control is intrinsically different there?

You’ll need to build lower, as the sky mobs don’t need blocks to spawn on. I made the same mistake; I wanted to avoid digging the space needed below me to stop spawns, so I went up too high.Alright, thank you, I’m still working on it, and maybe I should post this in his video on his frost moon record farm, but I made a pumpkin moon/frost moon farm almost the same as his, but I only get to around wave 4 because of the spawn rate being diminished by the constant harpies and wyverns/arch wyverns. I guess I built it too high, but I don’t know if I can block off their spawns by blocking up 84 by 47( spawn rectangle), or if I just need to relocate the farm to somewhere lower. I’ll post a picture of the farm later, with its coordinates in the gps, but I’m more concerned with this farm than the ecto farm. Any advice would be useful

Didn’t realise this could be an issue. Yes, definitely too high. I guess you might be able to block the Harpies, etc, but they spawn in a little differently than most all other mobs, since the don’t require a valid surface to spawn on.spawn rate being diminished by the constant harpies and wyverns/arch wyverns. I guess I built it too high, but I don’t know if I can block off their spawns by blocking up 84 by 47( spawn rectangle)

Definitely always post in the most relevant thread, yes. Be it in the guides section or T-MEC. (I watch pretty much all the technical threads.)maybe I should post this in his video on his frost moon record farm

Hah, that is different to PC then. Cool.I’m only getting hoiked one tile either way, so it doesn’t appear to move.

I’ve heard it does, but try it with a few blocks first, just in case.Does hoiking work in terraria mobile? (before i go out of my way to build it when it doesnt work)
