Statues

Since 1.1, every new world contains 42 statues (39 new ones), scattered underground in every biome. These statues represent a weapon, tool, NPC, or figures. Currently 12 of these statues may be used to spawn items they look like infinitely: Bat, Bird, Bomb, Bunny, Chest (Mimic), Crabs, Fish, Heart, Jellyfish, Piranha, Skeleton, Slime, and Star. Additionally the King and Queen statues can be used to teleport NPC's based on gender.

The trick is to take a wrench, place wires around it, connect it to a pressure pad, and press the pressure pad. For example, if it is a bomb statue, the statue will spawn a bomb. If it is a king statue/queen statue, the statue will teleport NPC's to you (depending on the NPC's gender) if they may be lost. This is a great way to recover the goblin reforger, the wizard, and the mechanic from dangerous areas.

Tips

 * If you're hunting for statues one of the best ways to find them is to create a new world and look for nearby natural caves. If they're deep enough they could easily lead you to several statues, most often found in 'abandoned houses' and sometimes in glowing mushroom caverns.
 * When powering multiple statues with the same effect that are in close proximity to each other, e.g. 2 Bomb Statues, they will be limited to producing 3 items altogether. So at first they will produce 2 bombs at the same time then if you dont pick them up the next time only 1 bomb will be produced, then after that no more bombs will be created until the first 3 are picked up.
 * The goldfish statue can be surprisingly profitable. If you hook it up to a 1 second timer it will automatically produce a goldfish every second. You can then set up a trap that will automatically kill the goldfish as they are created. Shallow lava works well just be careful setting it up because if you break your statue it could fall in the lava and be destroyed. Dart traps could also work although they have a 3 second delay, but since it can pierce through all 3 goldfish in one shot you may be able to time it perfectly. Goldfish sell for 2 silver each.
