A autospawner with a max enbiggened (green normal) slime (spawn exact=true) seems to provide quite a net increase. And DW20 did demonstrate that autospawner with random spawning slimes that get enbiggened gives him plenty of essence to play with. Mind you, he's using 4 vet stations ^^* Ofcourse, soul-shard's with slimes -> grinder are the easiest way to get a high amount of essence ^^*

How many slime to max out a soulshard? I got luck and the first quarry I make to bedrock was a slime chunk.

1024 slime entities needs to be killed for a maxed out soulshard (Unless that's changed since i last checked). But as the slimes split into 4 of their smaller versions when they die its relativly easy to do it with slimes, especially if you bring slime embiggening serums.

So if I take the time to make a soulshard Slime spawner. Set up a grinder. Then I'm pretty much set right. Does using the autospawner in exact copy mode use more mob essence?

To let you guys know, soul shard mobs are planned (if not already) to not give essence

To simplify on the essence loops:

Yes, however currently it's possible to create a closed grinder-spawner loop with slimes, catch a large slime (very important part) then put it in a spawner set to exact copy spawning. For now it will create a closed loop which is essence positive, but I think there's plans to prevent this loop from happening too as the essence is not intended to be a closed loop. There's mention of this over the forums in anycase.

So for input, there's all the talk of using a vanilla spawner, but you can also use a vanilla dark room spawning system for your essence needs, and be rest assured this won't ever be nerfed.

Thank you I'll set that up when I can, along with the other cool farms.

I for one used a Force Sword with Soul Stealer V on it and made myself a tier 5 enderman soul shard to grind for essence. Or you could always use a DartCraft Force Wrench, grab yourself some spawners, then either use those and the Force Sword I've mentioned to make yourself a SShard for the grinder or just them directly on the grinder.
