[@Ch1ssl]

Unfortunately, Black Cat does not work anymore. Instead of farming at 420 speed, farm at 400, depth strider 3 while holding W. If you do not want to hold W, farm at 298 speed, but this will have less efficient lane swaps.

[@Kalesoup_]

when i have 400 speed without holding w i dont miss any pumpkins

note that he uses depth strider 2 and not depth strider 3 on his boots. You can also press the W key while farming with depth strider 3 for the same effect

[@SunTzu-MelonKing]

not same effect because it becomes less efficient since you are running slower.

[@fattony725]

@@SunTzu-MelonKing when i timed it the results between the two were the same, and the math also checks out. I would argue holding forwards (binding it to space aswell for ease) is better because now the only buttons youre alternating are left and right plus the added facts that'll youll remain close enough to break the melons without deviation.

[@FUZIONx]

@@fattony725what did u base ur information on bc u said the proper way wasnt working as well for you cuz ur drifting

[@fattony725]

@@FUZIONxwhat do you mean? This was some time ago now, but i remember timing it. And for the maths, using wiki as sources for speed procentages when using different levels of depth strider on soul sand. Which with depth strider 2 on soul sand the number was equal to using depth strider 3 on soul sand but with holding W while holding A/D. The speeds multiplicative factor was the same for both. And i also timed using both methods and got the same result in time from one end to the other.

[@fattony725]

@@FUZIONx my argument for it being better is that i dont need to pay attention to changing lanes since im already holding W so i just need to switch from D to A or vice versa

[@laur3nz39]

brrrruuuh i built the farm 3 days ago by always looking at melonkings island over and over and now you guys made a tutorial

[@SunTzu-MelonKing]

the tutorial was announced on the signs at spawn :)

[@MarkkaSaicoPvP]

If anyone is having problems with getting stuck even after adding trapdoors i fixed it by making my boots deps 3, using 411 speed and holding down W all the time so u hug the block infront. (This also makes so u switch to next lane without having to press down W in the end)

[@SammySkilz]

thanks I kept drifting to each side without using W key

[@lowent9181]

You can also use depth strider 3 with speed capped at 297 for almost the same effect if you don't have the black cat pet

[@wrmmaglevs]

ds3 holding w with 400 speed also works

[@nitrousinject]

​@@wrmmaglevsjust came in to add this. Holding W really helps make them lane changes fast

[@averageskyblockplayer4361]

@@nitrousinjectso do i hold W and A?

[@nitrousinject]

@averageskyblockplayer4361 always hold W, and alternate between A and D. By not letting go of W, you'll be switching lanes already by the time you realize it's lane switch time and just need to change between two keys.

[@YoutuberBack]

With the new pest update, I find it's better to use wooden trapdoors instead of iron as they tend to get stuck in them, making it impossible to kill them

[@jaykeyrl]

place a layer of any block at the very top of your plots, the pests will spawn on the layer instead of your farm

So did they fix black cat or not? Built this farm a few months ago and still have ranchers boots at 420, thinking about farming again after quitting. If they're still at 420 and have depth strider 2 am I good to go? Or do I need to set to 400 and get ds3

[@zzzyyyrrraaa]

quick tip for more early game gamers you can use young dragon armor to set ur rancher boots (might wanna mention that in future vids)

[@chrish1152]

Hey got some questions about the farm design. Why did you use soul sand and not something else? Also how many more rows would need to be added to make it a 20 min farm? Do I need to use snow? what is its purpose? Thank you for your effort in making us better farmers :)

[@AgitatedFarminghub]

lets speed answer this 1. soulsand is to lower your height to get the right angle and to slow you down so when you remove the negative speed effects you have a faster row change (the only real alternative block i can think of that gives the same height is snow layers but youd have to place each one by hand also coco but something that also happens when doing with snow is snow and cocoa break from water) 2. you need around 18 rows for 20 minutes of farming so i believe 6 more rows than suntzu shows 3. snow isnt required just recommended since it is slightly more efficient since you dont raise or fall some distance which can block you from breaking a few blocks on the ends

[@zach-theboringone5793]

It seems like they may have patched using black cat, so as an alternative you can use 296 speed with depth strider 3 and still get the full 20 blocks per second. (sadly lane switches will be slower, but assuming I'm correct about the patch it's what must be done).

when you make a layout your blocks dont drop when broken except for crops, its probably going into a sack you have or you started the paste with seeds down already which shouldnt even effect it

[@loccolock5358]

Additional Note you don't need water for melons or pumpkins once the stock is fully grown so the melon or pumpkin will keep producing so this design will remove the problem with bouncing the players enter and exiting water. if you wanna do even more effective farm future proof design you will want to remove water *(BUBBLES) and if they ever do any updates where soul sand adds the bubbles back this will prevent the player from just bouncing around. so just use sponges, I don't know if this decreases the tick rate of growth but they still grow w/o water. GL

[@SunTzu-MelonKing]

water still makes the stems pump out a melon/pumpkin faster

[@loccolock5358]

read more on this, so yes it increases the tick rate, but at what gardening level + size of the farm will that factor be null? Additional note I will be building a 2 plot Melon farm without water if you ever want to see in action@@SunTzu-MelonKing
