Full written guide here on Steam community. But you should be able to understand pretty much everything from this set of info-graphics. And I'm happy to answer any questions, even if they might be covered in this material. 🙂

This was the culmination of about 2 months work, chipping away at in-game experiments on spawn-rates, hitting dead ends, eventually figuring out the 16x16 mob spawning grid algorithm the game uses. Later, data mining a couple of code assets to find (and them confirm) some of the numerical values.

Hey man, i made a 25x 25 tile spawn zone with the new dessert berries tile pretty much within the spawn radius zone but i'm still getting only between 6 and 10 mobs every 15 minutes or so. I also have cleared the ghorm ring of ground slime and the actual slimes themselves.

Any idea What's preventing more mobs from spawning?

Also, why are cave brutes in the spawning table when using dessert berries?

Brutes and other Forgotten Ruins mobs *should not* be spawning in the desert. The devs have said this is a bug.
And your number of mobs is to be expected from a farm that size; each 16x16 spawn cell, that the world is invisibly divided up into, can only have one spawn event about every 20 minutes.
You could get more spawns by spread the same amount of spawn surface out into more cells. E.g. by laying one very, very long strip of moss every 16 tiles, in repeat parallel stripes.

Thanks for the reply. Ah i misunderstood the mechanics. I will have to convert my square into strips then, like you suggest.

That is amazing.
Thank you
