Glowing Mushrooms are much more useful in comparison, being used for Furniture, and Shroomite Bars in Hardmode. A good idea is to build these farms in the sky, where there is no chance of spread occurring. Make sure to contain the farm properly, otherwise the Corruption/Crimson may spread out of the farm. Vile or Vicious Mushroom farms are used for Vile Powder, which is required to summon the Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu, depending on the natural evil biome. Regular Mushrooms are only used for Lesser Healing and Regeneration Potions, however their sell price is significantly higher than the other two, giving it the small use of a limited money farm as well. A layer of Wooden platforms below the dirt layers will prevent their growth while allowing the player to walk through them, allowing layers to be packed more tightly. Note that vines will grow down from strips of grassy dirt, preventing the growth of other layers below them. Usually, mushroom farms consist of several layers of dirt with 3 block tall gaps in between. Regular pickaxes can still harvest mature (and not blooming) plants, but they will not drop seeds as usual.Īll Mushroom types will grow naturally on their respective Grass surface. Note that the Staff and Axe of Regrowth require herbs in Planter Boxes to be in bloom, not just mature. It will also work on fully grown but not yet bloomed plants at a lower efficiency, making it very useful when harvesting natural Deathweed or Waterleaf. The Staff of Regrowth or Axe of Regrowth will greatly increase the amount of herbs and seeds harvested. They can be placed anywhere a platform can. Planter Boxes offer all the advantages of clay pots, and can also be placed without need for a supporting block.Herbs must be explicitly broken with a pickaxe or Staff of Regrowth before they can be replanted. Clay Pots do not have terrain limitations, and allow every herb to grow on them, while also protecting them from being accidentally destroyed by a Player's or enemy's attacks, projectiles, or harvesting nearby herbs.However, wielding a seed allows you to instantly harvest and replant. Harvesting soil-farmed herbs by hand is difficult, since any tool will break all herbs in its range. Herbs on soil can be automatically harvested with Dart Traps or Actuator mechanisms, but this will be inefficient until all planted herbs are blooming at once. Herbs can be planted in soil, Clay Pots or Planter Boxes: Ī well-planned herb garden will provide materials needed to create almost every buff Potion - while many potions have other ingredients, they all need at least one herb. At least ten blocks of vertical space is recommended.įrom 3:45pm to 7:30pm, if not raining, or when submerged in Lavaĭuring Rain, or when submerged in Water. It also recommended to acquire Water-Walking Boots or better for farming purposes, and to make the farm quite long, as Bamboo takes forever to grow. If you wish to farm Bamboo, you cannot make it indoors, as Bamboo will not grow in front of walls of any kind-even naturally generated ones. Rich Mahogany Trees will grow automatically as well, but can be planted with Acorns on Jungle Grass. For more detailed instructions on Gem tree farming, see this Guide.Ĭacti, Bamboo, and Giant Glowing Mushrooms cannot be manually planted, but they will automatically grow on their respective surfaces if all conditions are met. Geodes, however, are not finite, and can be farmed infinitely through Granite Cave enemies. In contrast to trees however, these alternatives are finite. In addition to farming Gems via Gem trees it's also possible to obtain them via mining or by using the Extractinator on Silt, Slush and Desert Fossils. Exception is that Gemcorns need to be planted in Underground or Cavern.All except Palm trees will grow in front of fences. Trees will not grow Underground (below 0 depth) or in front of a wall.Vertically, most tree types need 16 tiles of free vertical space above them Jungle and Palm trees respectively need 24 and 30 tiles of space instead.If saplings are to be placed near each other, they also need an additional tile of space between them.Most trees need at least one tile of empty ground (with matching soil) on either side of the sapling (Palm trees can get by without).In order to grow into a Tree, Acorns require sufficient space both horizontally and vertically. If building multiple layers, all layers will need to have the correct vertical spacing in order for the Trees to grow properly. While trees grown by a player are significantly shorter than those generated naturally, building a farm for them provides a very simple way to obtain all different Wood types in one place.Ī typical Wood farm consists of a flat surface made with the block required to grow the respective tree. Mud with Jungle Grass under 2-5 tiles of Water
