How to Farm Martian Probes
To farm Martian probes, you need to create a platform in the Space layer, use a Water Candle to increase the spawn rate, and wait for the probes to spawn, making sure that no Lunar Events or Martian Madness events are active, and that there are no other Martian Probes present in the world.
