· This video covers how to build the most efficient auto-farming spot in Terraria.
· This farm works perfectly with the latest 1.4.5 version and allows you to obtain rare items like Souls, Biome Keys, and Discord in large quantities.
· Additionally, it's designed to allow safe farming within the spot without interference from Biomimics.

· The basic materials required for construction are as follows:
· Any building block can be used, but it must be a material that cannot spread.
· Pickaxe for mining specific areas
· Hammer for shaping the arena
· Using summons is efficient.
· Explosives (Dynamite or Sticky Dynamite) are needed, and after Hardmode, a Drill Containment Unit is recommended.
· Materials for creating special biomes:
· Underground Desert Biome: 1,500 Sand Blocks
· Jungle Biome: 140 Mud Blocks, 140 Jungle Grass Seeds
· Corruption or Crimson Biome: 300 of the respective evil blocks
· Or Pumpkin Biome: 125 Hay Blocks
· Other Materials:
· 200 Cobweb Walls (crafted by putting normal Cobweb Walls into Shimmer)
· Dangerous Sandstone Walls (crafted by putting Sandstone Walls into Shimmer) - Prevents Biomimic spawns and encourages desert monster spawns.
· Efficiency-boosting items:
· Bewitching Table: Increases summon slots
· Gnome: Increases luck
· Water Candle: Increases monster spawn rate
· Shadow Candle: Decreases monster spawn rate caused by NPCs.
· Wiring-related items:
· Wrench, Wire, Actuators (for activating blocks)
· Lava Bucket (to prevent monster spawns from below)
· 1-second Timer

· Excavate vertically down to 1000 layers underground. This depth is ideal for farming in the Cavern layer in a wide world.
· You can confirm entry into the Cavern layer by the change in music and background tiles.
· Place marker blocks with Ultra Bright Torches above them.
· Extend 100 blocks to the left and right from the marker blocks to create a long passage.
· Then, excavate 65 blocks upwards and 65 blocks downwards to set the height and depth of the farm. This prevents monsters from spawning outside the farm.
· A temporary rectangular outline is formed, and this space will be cleared with explosives later.
· It's recommended to protect the marker blocks with blocks like Obsidian or Hellstone to prevent them from being destroyed by explosions.

· Use Sticky Dynamite or regular Dynamite to clear all debris inside the farm.
· After Hardmode, a Drill Containment Unit is efficient, and in cases like the Calamity mod, endgame pickaxes can clear it quickly.
· After clearing all debris, reinstall marker blocks 200 blocks long above, below, left, and right to establish the final outline of the farm.
· All background walls of the existing caves must be removed to prevent monsters from spawning in unintended locations.

· Move 83 blocks to the left and right from the original platform markers.
· At that point, go down one block and create a 3-block wide passage. This makes a total width of 86 blocks.
· Clear the remaining parts of the originally planned layer.
· Create an infinite lava pool across the entire bottom of the farm to prevent monsters from spawning from below. (Background walls can be substituted, but lava is faster)

· Go up 4 blocks from the 83-block point on the platform.
· From that point, move 6 blocks to the right from the upper marker.
· From that point, go down 3 blocks to outline the kill chamber.
· After outlining the kill chamber, place 3 blocks diagonally.
· Install a lava bucket inside the kill chamber.

· Move 51 blocks to the left from the kill chamber.
· At the 51st block, place two blocks diagonally and slope them with a hammer. This guides bats into the kill chamber.
· Install 2-block high walls to the spawn platform and extend them left and right.
· Hammer the installed blocks to create slopes.

· Starting from the 50th block to the right of the kill chamber, install actuators left and right.
· Connect the blocks with actuators using wires and connect them to a 1-second timer.
· Create a Biomimic kill chamber: stack 5 blocks up, 3 blocks to the right, and 6 blocks down.
· Place one block on each side of the wall, and hammer the right block. This causes Biomimics to spawn above the player, allowing them to be dealt with safely.
· Be careful, as if the blocks are not hammered, Biomimics can fall and kill the player.

· To use the farm in an AFK state, install teleporters or replace them with NPCs and Pylons.
· Place Gnomes, Water Candles, Shadow Candles, and Bewitching Tables to increase monster spawn rates and drop rates.

· To create an Underground Desert biome, fill a 50x30 area with 1,500 Sand Blocks.
· Install background walls below the sand blocks to prevent monster spawns and create pathways.
· To create a Jungle biome, place 140 Mud Blocks and 140 Jungle Grass Seeds.
· Install Dangerous Sandstone Walls around the AFK position to make it recognized as an Underground Desert biome.
· Place blocks of your desired evil biome (Corruption, Crimson, or Pumpkin) to spawn monsters from that biome. (e.g., create a Pumpkin biome with 125 Hay Blocks)
· To spawn specific biome monsters (e.g., Pumpking's Minions), you need to replace the farm's floor with blocks from that biome.

· To prevent damage from Biomimics, you can install Cobweb Walls to ensure only spiders spawn.
· Using Desert background walls can achieve a similar effect.
· Install 3 platform blocks and make them sloped so that monsters can be smoothly dealt with in the kill chamber.

· Install a lava pool at the top of the farm to prevent unwanted monster spawns when entering or exiting the farm.
· To further increase spawn rates, use Battle Potions, or if using a modded version, Chaos Potions or Zerg Potions can be utilized.

· This AFK auto-farm design was inspired by a guide from 'Heath04'. The link to the original guide is in the description.
· The video creator made some modifications, such as measuring the farm size and adding a lava pool.
· Using summons and sentries can speed up monster elimination.
