The ULTIMATE Rod of Discord Farm Tutorial | Fully AFK in HARDCORE | Terraria

In the last episode of TerraCorps, I built an extremely efficient Rod of Discord farm, and you all asked me to make a tutorial video on it. That’s what we’re covering today! Also, I still have plushies on sale for the next four days! Get yours while you can!

Edit: If you find yourself getting stuck in the despawn area because of auto jumping, remove the weighted pressure plate, put a platform in that spot instead, and place the weighted pressure plate on top of the platform. This way, even if you're jumping, the middle of your body is activating the weighted pressure plate ^.^

Did I just watch a video that's nearly 40 minutes long on how to build a farm I'll probably never use? Maybe. Did I enjoy it anyways? Of course!

[MrKruel]

khaios sounds like someone dad who plays legend of zelda at night.

We need a texture pack that turns the Chaos Elemental into a Khaios Elemental.

Once upon a time, I was building a RoD farm, and a RoD dropped!
Once upon another time, I was exploring my newly spawned hallow and my fourth Chaos Elemental dropped a RoD.

I have come to the conclusion that I have expended my lifetime supply of luck.

Everyone : great now I can finally get a rod of discord!

Me an intellectual : UNLIMITED APPLE PIES!

A friendly note that I just realized that if your character name is Khaios then you get a green and black effect on Last Prism and the prismatic weapons from EoL, cool little easter egg and congrats on becoming such a great member of the community that you have your own designs in-game :)

You can increase efficiency by a bit more by placing enough blocks so that it also counts as a jungle biome. Now they spawn even faster and the spawn cap is a bit higher.

Great video; it was interesting seeing how you dealt with the mimics and such that phase through walls.

Few notes for other viewers (I'm pretty sure Khaios knows all this already):
1. When clearing the area for your farm, leaving the bottom 50 blocks empty does NOT prevent spawns; it simply moves them into the despawn zone (where they will despawn quickly). This does not happen at all when filling in the blocks, because solid blocks DO prevent spawns. From my limited testing (in 1.3 with crazy spawn rate mods), this difference does affect the farm efficiency albeit very minor.
You can solve this by filling in the spawnable area below the platforms; I recommend sand for this since it is very abundant and is affected by gravity. In the example from your video (+-85 on either side & +-50 vertically), it would take 8500 blocks if you filled it from the bottom to the platform.
I wouldn't bother with it for a one-time use farm like a Rod of Discord farm, but it's probably worth it if you were making the farm more multipurpose and swapping the biome around as needed.

2. Regarding multiple platforms for spawning, it doesn't have an impact on rates. The game determines a mob needs to be spawned, then it starts searching for a spot to put it. # of spawnable blocks isn't part of the equation.
Fun side note; if the number of spawnable blocks did affect spawn rates, the ideal spawn area would need to be atleast +-132 on each side and +-72 in height. This is because a Sniper w/ scope makes the spawning range expand (just by holding it; you don't even have to be scoping, the weapon just needs to be selected). Doing so would let you fit in ~3 more sets of 22 block long platforms on either side of the farm. It would also more than double the amount of blocks you have to remove to build the farm.

3. Lastly, your "Safe despawn spot" doesn't need to be due east or west, just underground (to prevent events and rogue mech boss spawns). I recommend having it send you near some underground NPC's in a far away area you've already prevented biome spreading in, + a peace candle. This is just so your safespot doesn't become an underground hollow/corruption/etc and subsequently become not very safe anymore. Likewise, the NPCs + Peace candle will drastically reduce the chances that anything spawns (just in case).

Best of luck out there!

In order to help with your inventory filling up you can empty out your void vault and carry a void bag on you to pick up items once your inventory fills up. And to help with clearing out the farm area you can use explosives (the block) in specific spots to reduce how many blocks have to be manually mined. And something to keep in mind to prevent biomes from spreading out of the chamber is to have a 3 block gap of air or barrier of neutral blocks between the inside and outside of the chamber

hey khaios, are you alright?
its been a month since this vid came out and i don't want you to feel the same way as you did about a year ago.
we all miss you, but look after yourself and tell us when you're taking a break so we don't have to worry.
you deserve to relax a bit, after all, you kept most of us sane during the quarantine.
on behalf of everyone i have to say this: We care for you, and don't you ever forget.

Enemies despawn instantly if you go 12 screens away, so that is how far the despawn spot should be. If it is closer, enemies take some time to despawn, and some may remain. This also means that you could probably change that 5 second timer to a 1 second one, making the farm even more efficient

[starmanx]

Also, if you get the broken modifier on your blade staff, it reduces the damage so it can hit the enemies more times before they die, thereby granting more coins from the enemies.

This is what you see when you anahalate that bell

[entropic-decay]

a useful addition to this is having more conveyor belts to the middle in the kill chamber, to ensure that any drops that land on the edges get carried to you

[inkprint]

Recently discovered your channel and i love it! Im glad that my recomended actually worked!

[tl]

last time i was this early
i thought you were a developer for the game because chippy kept mentioning your name

[omegabrix]

Last time I was this early, Khaios only had 100K subscribers.

Good job with your channel’s growth and great tutorial.

[FenaviAstria]

Been looking for a farm to use in my Mastermode playthrough while I play destiny on my Xbox, Thanks Khaios!

[oscarlambert]

This is going to be absolute khaios am I right :D
