Talk:Martian Probe

Any tips on how to farm it?

Is it possible that the drone only spawns during night? (in 1.3.0.5). i have never even seen it on radar during day! 85.70.185.126 16:58, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

broken in 1.3.0.6

Spawn rate
The day I killed Golem, I found and killed 3 Probes on my way to the beach. I failed to kill one before it escaped and it triggered the event. Now I wish to trigger it again and I can't find another probe for the life of me. I waited 2 in-game days on the beach with a water candle for one to come, but no luck.. Do I have to kill Golem again to make more spawn?
 * After Golem's defeat, probes spawns occur normally, and defeating Golem again won't influence their rate of appearance at all. They may be rare but they won't just "dry up". You may want to try waiting in space instead, where their spawn rate is increased. Gearzein (talk) 11:36, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for fixing that up for me, I don't know what happened. I tried using the "+New discussion" link, but it just kinda tacked my question on the end of the previous one. I've never used wiki discussion pages before. I tried waiting in space but I didn't encounter any. Weird how I encountered so many on a short walk to the beach while on the surface layer but waiting around for half an hour in space yielded none. I guess I was just unlucky.MrYyelo (talk) 14:13, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
