Heart Statue

The Heart Statue is one of 83 Statues, and one of 16 Statues that serves as a Mechanism. It drops a Heart when activated using Wire. It has a cooldown time of ten seconds between activations. Heart Statues can be found in the Cavern layer.

The statue will not spawn a heart if there are 10 or more hearts anywhere in the world, 6 or more hearts within 800 pixels (100 blocks), or 3 or more hearts within 300 pixels (36 blocks).

Tips

 * The spawning of Hearts can be abused to create a farm for infinite health in an Arena. A partial workaround for the heart proximity limitations is to place the statues high on narrow ledges, at least 36 blocks above the point where the hearts will land, allowing some or all of the hearts to drop.
 * It's known to bug sometimes and not cap at 3 hearts per area. This can easily be abused during boss fights, as having lots of heart statues means that the player can easily refill their health whenever they are low.
