Yet Another "BEST" AFK Money Farm on YouTube (1 Plat/sec) | Terraria 1.4.4 

As a mod developer I was interested in the tooltips being associated with performance, so I did some digging. I tested each method (tooltips and no tooltips) under identical conditions, these being: -Post-ML gear -9 daggers and 1 frog -Same exact PC, world, character etc. -200 NPCs The only variable between the two was whether I was hovering over the tooltip. I then ran a performance profiler (JetBrains dotTrace) which allowed me to see what was taking up the most processing time in each tick. Here is what I found: Without the use of tooltips, the profiling duration was 14,195ms in length. 43% of this time (6164ms) is taken up entirely by the game playing sounds. With the use of tooltips, the profiling duration was 7,693ms in length. 12.83% of this time (1386ms) is taken up entirely by the game playing sounds. Considering this, it is apparent that the sounds take up a much larger segment of the tick when not using tooltips. Based on this, I can conclude that the performance change is not a placebo effect but is in fact very real (indeed, my frames went from ~40 to ~60 when using tooltips). This performance change is almost entirely caused by the game playing more sounds without the tooltips being active (alternatively, the sounds could also be being handled more efficiently while using tooltips, though this is less likely). This result surprised me a lot. I will do further digging as to the specific reason behind this and edit this comment to reflect it. Oh and thanks Mappy, I enjoyed the video.

After all these years.. We can finally use coin gun to its true potential

From breaking bosses in one hit to breaking the economy one platinum a second.

I find it ironic the farm uses spiders to make money since there used to be a glitch where if they went from either on the wall or on the ground to the other, they would lose all the money they were holding onto

HappyDays in his current playthrough : I can milk you

I had a look at decompiled source code, and I think I may have found the culprit of the lag when an item tooltip isn't being displayed, that being the state of Main.mouseText, which a bool for determining whether or not mouseover text is already visible. When it's false, there are expensive operations to handle rendering mouseover text on dropped items and NPCs (as mousing over NPCs displays their name and current health). There are 2 for loops in use, one for items (400 loops) and one for NPCs (200 loops), and you can quickly see why it might cause lag. This, of course, is expedited while using this farm due to all available NPC slots being filled and the coins constantly being created via the Lucky Coin. Since Main.mouseText is true when you're mousing over an item in the inventory, the expensive for loops are never iterated through, and there are therefore less calculations being done each frame, which obviously results in better performance. I don't think tooltip length has anything to do with the lag reduction, that may just be a placebo effect.

Finally, a reason to use what I consider to be the cutest minion in the game past the evil bosses.

I mean, it's still time consuming and pretty big in scale but... This doesn't seem that difficult to build once you get all the resources. As someone who builds 2-3 screen-wide farms per world, digging out some giant holes seems worth it for the insane money draw.

It's very fitting that enemies who've picked up coins are used for the optimal coin farm... I love it

It's always a good day when mappy posts

Ingenious idea, that's a hell of a farm. Be sure to take advantage of it while you can, because the lucky coin is getting mega nerfed in the next update due to these money farms

This afk money farm is really ingenious! For those that enjoy pushing terraria's limits with complicated contraptions and really exploring all of terraria's mechanics, this is another great find! Cheers to you Mappygaming!

thanks for the videos man, can't wait to see the second version of this farm when it comes out

Hilariously awesome, and not really any bigger or more complicated than the typical farms I build throughout my average world, so yeah... Will have to give this one a shot 😁

Good God man is there no end to your hunger for advancement

Another iconic MappyGaming video. I remember watching this channel years ago... and knowing the fact that I still watch these videos today make me smile.

This is really cool, definitely gonna see if I can use this in a future playthrough on another channel.

I love building farms like these, even if i don't use most of them most of the time, good video!

i'm gonna be honest, wasn't expecting the 20+ minutes to be interesting, but i was wrong. great editing, and very well crafted video overall :D

Very nice. Thank you for making this video Mappy, now I can fully realize my Mr. Krabs playthrough of the game.

Thanks this actually gave me an idea for a base defense system with an enemy only pressure plate on top of a teleporter that connects to a lava Chamber

I love your videos, Mappy, amazing and informative as always!

Looking forward to the next video of this with the complicated but more effective farm ^^ I wonder how much money you can make once the farm is 100% optimized... 1 platinum per second is already unbelievable.

Although I don’t think I’ll be using this in my own playthough, I still believe this is a fantastic video. The dedication, attention to detail, and sheer optimization, while expected from a Mappy video, is remarkable. As per usual, this video is polished to perfection and demonstrates the quality of MappyGaming. I hope this video, along with the channel, gets the praise it deserves. Well done and keep up the fantastic work! 👍🏻

I think the reason facing right helps with the frog is because it wants to be behind the player.

Very impressive ! I would have never thought to use coins for staking more enemies, props to you !

Thanks for sharing that awesome farm! Pretty sure ill try this one

I gave building this a go recently. And oh my gosh it works. It was really easy to follow the schematics linked in the description, and the farm is as efficient as ever. I do actually need the amount of money this farm generates for reasons that no one needs to know about.

I did actually take the time to implement this pre-plantera in my master mode world. not actually too bad to set up and has made respecing for bosses immensely easier!

This is the kind of farm that you need to use once per character because it’s so over powered. Good job bro.

The presentation of data just for extreme tomfoolery is always astonishing in your videos how I wish you'd post more.

9:50 the vampire frogs like staying behind you, and then when they go there, their AI says "ENEMY IN LINE OF SIGHT GO GO GO" and they attack, you have an opening on your left side so maybe that's why

great video, you made it really easy to understand too

I am honestly living for the shade Mappy throws in this video.

This actually helped me figure out why the coin icon on the map disappears when you get close; it’s just a marker for whatever enemy is holding those coins that lets its position be preserved while despawned.

Absolutely beautiful intro btw its the best one I’ve ever seen

20% of the reason I like your channel is cause you use that hippo character as your mascot/persona. Keep it up.

oh yay another upload i always love ya vids

Quite literally a golden shower

REALLY COOL! Thank you 😊

Personally, I wouldn't use an afk farm, but I find it interesting to see just how far the game can be pushed and the clever solutions people come up with. I don't understand what there is to "hate" about it really. It's a sandbox game, different people play for different reasons.

No crabs were harmed in this video says you while clearly slaying millions of crabs outside the video lol

It's always a good day when MappyGaming uploads a video :)

Woah this is amazing!! Was thinking this mechanic might be useful, but could never get a working method out, that healing technique is ingenious! There's probably not a way to make a faster coin farm. But I'm gonna try! I might be able to beat you with a large world sized crystal shard farm- if my computer doesn't break.

I barely play Terraria anymore. I just love these videos.

It's always a good day when Mappy uploads

Did this guy just created himself the best AFK money farm for 100k views? He deserves much more, I’ll share this to my friends who are playing Terraria, you can do it too.

This Moomin is so good at breaking this game harder than anyone has ever broken it before

MUMBOOOOOOO! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE NOW! ‐Grian when he sees this

One way to make this farm even more crazy is to also equip Lucky Coin upgrades, as their money-dropping effects stack. Also, disabling gore in options would probably help reduce the lag somewhat.

I made a very simple volcano money farm in calamity, that gets around a platinum coin every 6 seconds, with just having insane spawn rate in the underground astral biome where the enemies drop a few gold per kill, with the full setup you could get around 130 banners per night in the farm, so 6500 enemies killed in 12 minutes, or a little under 9 enemies killed per second. If I wanted to over engineer the farm to use hoiks it would be way more efficient, but as it is now it takes 1 to 2 hours to set up at the start of hardmode and gives more than enough money for a playthrough.

Nice, this is the first time i've seen a youtuber utilise the teleporting if monsters.

Taking "Gotta spend money to make money" to the extreme

Right when I rembered they existed and start binging their videos again they upload once more, if only that happened for my other favorite youtubers

Thank you~! This is helpful in saving me sanity.

He's at it again

this is why I love terraria

building this myself while looking at the schemattics reminds me of the time when i used to copy clash of clans bases from yters back in the day really fun to do

this man always finds a way to make me feel bad about my terraria knowledge😭

The level of thoroughness and dedication has made me an instant fan.🎉

Your lust for perfection appears unquenchable.

Upload? alright, who- Mappy? HELL FUCKING YEAH

our legend is back and richer than before

Long live mappy

since this is doable pre-mech, I can only imagine that anyone fortunate enough to get a coin gun in their playthrough will make good use of it...

Lets go hes back

The fact that this farm can be improved is scary

finally, a way to use the coin gun to its fullest extent in a “practical” manner (i say that in quotes because for a casual player this farm is far from practical lol but then again a casual player wouldnt even farm for the coin gun much less use it)

Doidera, real, o cara quebra o jogo sempre

Wow you farmed as much money as my luiafk boosted spawnrate gave when i had post supreme calamitas summoner gear and a vacuum potion. You did that in vanilla. I am awestruck.

If you want to make it as efficient as possible just use a lucky coin and a blade staff, preferably with a bad modifier like broken to maximize hits (also blade staff is the fastest attacking summon weapon and has no immunity frames)

Idk why but in my normal playthroughs I've always found that just having the inventory open will reduce lag so I often end up just having it open all the time, sometimes without realizing it

6:25 I like how the recluses are being yeeted

Oh my god you're such a scientist

Following steps needs a clear easier fix for newbies if the respawn randomly kills, especially if teleports with purple interfere timing with green cutting efficiency and risk of recalibration money farm

its always good to see mappy

never been this early to a mappy post, nice

That's cool and all, but remember the rubblemaker still can't place the amazing oasis bushes/cacti rubble, or the corrupted counterparts. Re-Logic just sort of forgot about them, (Other bushes such as jungle and grass bushes can be placed.) and they'd be amazing for builders, there's even an eyeball bush! The Rubblemaker is incomplete without this function, so lets let Re-Logic know.

Perfect video, as always!

If there were a terraria Mount Rushmore, Mappy would be on it for sure.

idc too much about farms being "despicable" or not but a rant through text is crazy to the point where its just awkward other than that cool farm imma use that

This feels like the pinnacle of money farms... but I'm aware I can't say that yet. I will first wait for 1.4.5 and its "money spiders" because of course Re-Logic will make something unique

this man almost never post and yet his posts are the best

This looks amazing for the coin gun

Sometimes you wonder if we are playing the same terraria?

This seems like something that might happen in the terraria veterans series on gromek’s channel

coin gun:its my time to shine

I swear, you are a goddamn genius. Like, how does one even find some of these things out?

Mappy gaming is always amazing

For those who don't understand this, that's 21.6k platinum per hour. 1k would last you a lifetime. 21.6X "a lifetime"= you only need to run it for 21.6 minutes or 21 minutes 36 seconds for 1k platinum. Jeebus.

Cant wait for the extra optimal money farm with the stardust guardian and dragon thatll generate 1.7 plat a second!

I would not call this a big project at all for infinite money. kill a few bee bosses for money, then buy dynamite and some wiring. Very well made video, even explaining all the mechanics.

This is so cool I know I'm a bit late but also it Looks like your older horseman sword farm dose not have downloads I would love to see a all event farm or close to it in 1.4 master mode or the link to download the old one.

Thank you for the infinite ammo farm for my coin gun, bless you 😇

the fact that just reading can cause less lag is just why

Anyone know the music used in the history section and outro? It sounds very familiar... Good vid mappy. Keep it up.

I think the reason it lags is because of all the particles. I'd think there's a particle limit, and my theory is that the letters count as particles. The letters aren't moving, have no despawn timer or fade animation, and take priority over normal particles, so having a bunch of letters on the screen would be less laggy.

Impressive amounts of engineering and mechanics usage.

Amazing design! But one question, what is the 1 block of conveyor belt for? I tried building the design in my world pre mech bosses so i don't have steampunker. Naturally then i omitted the conveyor and it works somewhat well, sometimes when i teleport into the farm i get 1 shot by the spiders (i guess i don't get to have immunity frames lol) Does the conveyor belt help get the spiders into the right position AFTER the teleport? Or do they teleport on a fixed position? Cause it seems they are able to be teleported without it and i don't know what causes the spiders to sometimes hit me.

ok i love this
