How Fast Does The Corruption Actually Spread?

In this video I conduct an experiment where I AFK in a world for over 1,500 in game days to see how fast the corruption actually spreads.

The reason the jungle takes so long is because the mud first has to be converted to dirt then it can spread

[coleyohley]

Quick, Concise, and detailed. Tells you everything the title implies and does it in less than 5 minutes. Keep up the fantastic work, man.

"I guess it just takes really long for the jungle to get corrupt."
Me, a person who's jungle is almost completely corrupt: well I guess I'm just bad.

tip: sleeping in a bed while in 24x speed on journey makes in game time go by alot faster

Could we get a vid examining the differences when all demon altars are destroyed on day 1? The random corruption this causes can create notable pockets.

[Undeemiss]

This man runs a giant experiment but doesn’t even know the hallow leaves the jungle alone smh

[Meeg-]

My left ocean gets completely corrupted every time I go there, no matter how much I clentaminate it.

[Yomasi]

Honestly, this is why I believe the Clentaminator needs a buff
Keep in mind that this is how fast it spreads alone, w no demon altar smashed, which would make things significantly more helpless

Dryad: "The world is... you know what? I quit."

[irtouk]

“Your jungle?”


“Yes. And it was beautiful.”

[aidyplays]

Me with only 10 days into Hardmode & smashing like 50 altars: Hey dryad, wassup?
Dryad: YOU HAVE A FULLY CORRUPT WORLD YOU

Somebody should do completely corrupt and hallow only playthrough, with some jungle so plantera bulbs can spawn.

[teok]

Hey man, great video so far. I've delved into the code of how corruption spreads for modding reasons and at 1:25 where there's a small strip of sand unaffected, it's because the game's growth spreading code which happens once every tick samples a random block from the entire map and if it's a corruption block, it then samples a block adjacent + however many blocks the corruption can spread from. The thing is at the start and end of the map the world is cut off early (I'm guessing so NPC's and things like the angler can spawn off screen without breaking the game) by about 20 blocks or so, so it can never actually spread to these blocks, as the actual block sampling is (x+-20) (y+-20) Hope this made some sense.

[johnathantest]

As far as I know hallow can’t convert mud to dirt, that’s just a world evil thing

[Serafiniert]

Interesting experiment. I'd love to see this repeated, but this time with some altars smashed, so we have different spread sources, like in a real playthrough.

[jahsehonfroyh]

Has the desert always been that stretched or am I seeing things.

Dryad: goes on vacation

The player:

[LayZig]

starts new world, builds houses to get guide and merchant setup.
goes mining. Nobody moves in.
goes to surface. purple everywhere.
"how long was i down there?"
skeletron prime has spawned
"i only have jester arrows wtf?!?!?!?!"

[baneofbrot]

honestly this is helping me get over my anxiety of the corruption spreading into the jungle thank you

[ApprenticeJourney]

the fact that my world is 22% corrupt makes me shiver.
