This Machine Breaks Terraria [12]

[@EthyrielY]

So, here's a technical explanation for how the Beesful Mode Engine works: Certain statues, when activated with wire, spawn mobs. There mobs have a few special properties, like having their drops reduced by a factor of 20, but there is also a limit to how many mobs you can spawn from a given statue. For example, you can only spawn three of a given mob from a given statue. __These spawn limits, however, scale based on distance. __ 3 mobs in a 12.5 tile radius 6 mobs in a 37.5 tile radius 10 mobs - Anywhere in the world (Source: Terraria Wiki) By spawning mobs, and then moving them outside of that 37.5 tile radius, we can take advtange of that 10-mob spawn limit, rather than being stuck with only 3 mobs per-spawn. We can then use multiple statues, each with 10 mobs, to spawn a huge number of entites on-demand. Combined with bees (of which you can get ~90 with hives before the game stops you), this makes it fairly easy to fill up the mob cap- which, includes target dummies and NPC's, hence why your "Enemies Nearby" might vary if you build one of these machines for yourself. But... this isn't all that the Beesful Mode Engine can do. So, stay tuned for that. (subscribe to Ethyriel for more game-breaking content)

So what was the “Zombie has arrived” thing? just a hidden announcement sign or some weird glitch?

[@PocketShark]

@@leemiles3995 I am intrigued, I want to know what was it and who build this troll machine (I think this is not a glitch)

[@White-jq6st]

​@@leemiles3995ig the game bugs out. It tries to spawn in an NPC but instead some enemy spawns/tries to spawn in. Me and my friend had similar thing with modded terraria

[@tappl3]

oh no it’s god

[@DarkArmageddon]

Where does this episode fall on the cursed scale?

[@vresod]

the way the " has arrived!" message works is that whenever a Town NPC tries to spawn, it spawns it and then grabs the latest spawned entity. When the Town NPC fails to spawn, it grabs a different enemy and uses its name.

16:06 I remember Pedguin's 'invasion playtbrough' from a few years ago where he played with 30x spawn rates, and how he would get a similar message but for hornets when trying to summon Golem or Plantera or something with a the mob cap full, which consistently gave that message without actually spawning the boss.

[@Porkey_Minch]

I also remember that, but I remember it happening when he was in the dungeon.

I used bees in a multiplayer playthrough recently so I could build our plantera/golem arena in peace and I was greeted with many many strange enemies arriving, I even had one that just said "Has Arrived" no enemy or other text, very funny

[@geo4876]

has arrived!

[@somedude4087]

13:47 "I have 14.7 days of time in last 14 days" maybe thats cuz you had multiple terraria's open at once?

[@yeetman8541]

I Never Even used to watch terraria videos, like I played the game a ton and still do, but I was never interested in videos of it. But ever since finding the terraria veterans series I started watching more and more, and these videos have gotten me through some rough times. Thank you veterans!

[@Connor_Stabler]

My guess for how the spawn messages were occurring at the end would be that because the part of the mob cap allocated for enemies was fully taken up, the game was trying to spawn enemies and put them in the part of the mob list reserved for NPCs. This resulted in the game's code executing at least enough to print that message, since the code may not check whether or not the entity being spawned is an NPC until after that message, if it checks at all. It probably relies on the idea that the number of enemies active at any point in time should never get high enough to risk this problem in the first place, so no one thought to account for it.

[@krysmun]

I get the feeling that the "____ Has arrived" with the mobs is because it tried to spawn a Town NPC but it got confused when a regular enemy spawned, so it thought that was the townie instead. all because of Beesful Mode.

[@krysmun]

also, the reason two parts of the wall of flesh spawned and not just one is probably because the guide himself died, freeing up a second slot in the same split second that the boss spawned.

[@stormxrostheworldwalker2756]

Black Slime has arrived.

[@Hi_Its_Z]

Black Slime has arrived.

[@greenumbrella6249]

I wonder if the mobs that get announced like "black slime has arrived" actually have npc properties or if they're just,, regular mobs

[@bossriy3555]

Those messages are from signs like the troll face. You can change the text color with special characters. So there is no npc/mob involved.

[@imnotcreat1ve588]

actually if you reach the mob count, it says things like that when an npc tries to spawn. I encountered this with the old duck statue method before. It said things like demon eye has arrived and chaos elemental has arrived.

[@bossriy3555]

That's why ethyriel says: Someone put up announcement box, but where?

[@greenumbrella6249]

@@bossriy3555 Aw, kind of a shame but good to know! Thank you! :D

[@zarnox3071]

​@@bossriy3555 It definitely wasn't an announcement box. It was only happening when one of their NPCs were dead, and the mob cap was practically full.

[@johnwright2217]

Skeletron Prime from Season 2 must've hit hive in time to spawn a pile of bees or something, getting the Destroyer stuck on one segment. From there, it's glitched until a reset occurs, whether it be dying, or turning day.

[@slh8505]

First of all, leaving the game running to do school stuff is precisely why I have 1k+ hours in Terraria Second, I believe it was Playrime playingmaster mode for the worthy with 10x spawns that found that "black slime has arrived" mechanic and he figured that it was the game's way of spawning one more enemy when entities are soft capped

[@deathdiamond15]

What is going on with the Blue Text at the end? Is it actually someone using an announcement box? I think it looks like the game is trying to spawn an NPC, but since the mob cap is filled by another mob spawning before the NPC can spawn, that mob is replacing the NPC, but the text still goes through. Although, "They ARE placeholders!" leads me to believe that this is not the case.
