So after tu12, everyones villages started to pump out tons of villagers. My village also had about 10 golems roaming around. Ive been building an iron farm and its very slow, but I'm wondering if I added more villagers would it speed up? Im not 100% sure how golem spawning works. I thought it was one per village, but could it be possible that it is by the amount of villagers? or is that how it works and im just wrong.
Lookin for some help and wondering what you guys think I should do.
Additional villagers will help get 'more' iron golems but if your farm works right you should not need anymore then 48 doors, which should give you exactly 16 villagers. Once that criteria is filled your village should spawn an iron golem about every 6 mins. The goal of your farm is to 'collect' and ship that iron golem out of the village area as fast as possible, so that in roughly another 6mins another iron golem can spawn. Having additional villagers will not help 'speed' up the spawning process, only allow for additional iron golems to spawn in that village, which shouln't be needed if you are shipping them out shortly after they spawn.
With clever placement you can get '4 villages' with fairly close to each other, producing on average an iron golem about every 1:15, or there abouts. If you search you tube for 'DocM - Iron golem farm' you should get a really good farm. I have a heavly modified version of his farm in one of my worlds and it provides all our needs for iron and then some. Key here is to be careful where you build it, as if there are other buildings nearby with doors, they may interfere with your farms, and possibly cause villages to 'merge'.
This will work for now until we get hoppers and comparators, to which we will be able to build the iron trench by TangoTex, which many know allows you to stack 32 villages very tightly using less villagers.

P.S. Iron farm is DocM's design

Retired StaffSo yes, if you have more villagers, you'll get more golems spawning.
