#Terraria 2 second timer series

For instance, with two 1 Second Timers: Seconds Hi, I'm not sure if I understood your question right, but if you're referring to the first bullet points in the Notes section ('If a timer A activates another timer B with the same duration, B will trigger before A (thereby deactivating A before it can trigger again).'), then each of the two timers is active for three times their period and inactive for one period. Any factual contributions would be greatly appreciated! When I choose a 5 second timer in A position & a 1/4 second timer in B position it seems much the same. So far I have it as 1 second on and 1 off or 5 seconds on and 5 seconds off so it's all the same. I think the 'Notes' could be up dated to express such. It is presently presented as (wait, is that an oxymoron or am I ) ) but really, how long does each timer activate for? Does a 1/4 second timer activate for a 1/4 of a second, 1/2 sec, 1 sec, etc. How long do timers activate for? Hello Techfolk, They simply turn on and off when receiving an input from a wire or mouse click. I tried both, and the lava is much faster and more reliable.Why do we have animated flashing versions of these? They do not do this in game by default. On a side note: I think the thin layer of lava is vastly superior to dart traps for killing the bunnies/fish. Since I don't have the numbers, it's merely anecdotal evidence, but I suggest you wire up 3 timers to a fish statue and test it yourself. If it helps, put a tall, broad statue there like the Queen or an Armor statue to help visualize where the space is, then replace it. It is considered to be in the entire 2x3 space. It's because the space a statue visually uses isn't the target. It doesn't look like that wire for the rightmost timer touches the bunny on the right or the fish, but it does trigger them. Note: this image does, in fact, touch all 3 statues 3 times. I don't have the 'data', but I empirically proved it based on gold generated by a pair of fish statues. During a blood moon, I've seen a significant increase in corrupt bunny/fish production vs. I have wired up a set of 3, 1-second timers feeding pulses to my bunny and fish statues. I don't think it'd do much other than provide a more reliable rate (if you can even get them desynced in the first place). I will say, though, that I haven't experimented with multiple one-second timers.

So while a lever may look like it changes states, every time you click on it, it pulses a signal again. One thing to remember is that wires in Terraria are not like Minecraft - they do not have 'on' and 'off' states. In my experimentation having more than two input lines in this setup doesn't change a whole lot in terms of rate of action. This works especially well if you have it hooked up to a dart trap, as enemies will often jump at walls and retrigger the buttons repeatedly as long as they're trying to get at you, sending darts out all the time. Reason being, their motion will try to trigger the spawn again instantly.

#Terraria 2 second timer series

The optimal spawn setup seems to honestly just use a timer (one second, of course) hooked up to part of the statue, then a series of pressure plates near an area enemies are going to walk on. Statues (at least in my experimentation of building a fish farm) have a hard delay of about half a second before they spawn another monster, in addition to a limit on the number of alive monsters spawned at once (which is 3, if I remember correctly).
