Escape from Tarkov Bitcoin Farm Tips

Make efficient use of the bitcoin farm

As all EFT players know, the bitcoins Tarkov holds are actually quite rare. Some players might’ve even been playing without encountering one in raids. Aside from their rarity, they’re also quite small and hard to see. At any rate, players now have the chance to farm this rare form of currency in-game. One of the upgrades to the Hideout is a Bitcoin Farm.

How to Make the Bitcoin Farm

Making one requires the following:

• An Electric Drill
• 10 Powercords
• 10 Power Supply Units
• 15 CPU Fans
• At least level 2 Intelligence Center

It will take 30 hours to construct. After that, as long as your generator is active it will produce a physical bitcoin Tarkov every few hours. The amount of time the farm produces a unit of the currency depends on how many Graphics Cards the farm holds. With one GPU, it’ll take 20 hours to get a physical bitcoin.

Upgrades and Time

Upgrading the farm makes more slots to hold more GPUs. At level 2, it can hold 25, and level 3 can hold 50. Going by normal conventions, using more cards makes the production faster. Having 50 cards will produce a bitcoin Tarkov every 5 hours.

Here are the projected times:

10 GPUs – 12 hrs 50 mins

20 GPUs – 9 hrs 15 mins

30 GPUs – 7 hrs 12 mins

40 GPUs – 5 hrs 54 mins

50 GPUs – 5 hrs

As you can see, adding more and more GPUs result in diminishing returns. The difference in production time between 10 and 20 GPUs is about 3 hours, while 20 to 30 is only 2 hours. Plus, how are you even going to find 50 cards to get that 5 hours production time?

In this case, it’s more worth it to keep production at about 20-30 cards. You have to think about the fuel costs as well. The generator has to be running for the Bitcoin Farm to produce bitcoins.

Fuel Efficiency

At the most ideal, the Expeditionary Fuel Tank (henceforth called blue fuel) will power the hideout for a day and a half. In contrast, the Metal Fuel Tank (metal fuel) can run the generator for about two and a half days.

Ideal conditions include having a Solar Power Module and the Elite Hideout Management Skill. Both of these increase the time the fuel can power the generator. So, let’s calculate the possible number of bitcoins Tarkov that can be produced with the metal fuel.

10 GPUs: about 5

20 GPUs: about 6

30 GPUs: about 8

40 GPUs: about 10

50 GPUs: about 12

Now, the farm can only hold 3 bitcoins before it stops production. That means you have to pick up the physical bitcoins so it continues production. You can’t expect to have 8 bitcoins waiting for you after leaving it for hours on end.

Supposing you have the recommended 30 GPUs in your Bitcoin Farm. Rounding up the production time to 8, you can be sure to get 3 coins every day (24/8=3). When you’re playing every day, you can get the farm’s maximum number of coins if you leave your generator on. That’s an efficient use of fuel.

Of course, schedules are different for every player. Take someone who can manage to find 50 GPUs and plays for say, 10 hours a day as an example. They can turn off the generator when they’re not playing, and still, get 2 bitcoins Tarkov every day.

For those who want to leave their generators on, it’s better to have a longer production period. Making it too fast will fill the farm’s storage too fast unless you have the opportunity to log in and get it. The point is to adjust the production time with your playing schedule to get the most efficient farm.

Conclusions

To be productive and efficient, it’s not necessary to have the most number of GPUs for your Bitcoin Tarkov Farm. You just need to adjust the production speed to your playing schedule, and not leave the farm’s storage full.

Bitcoins are a big source of euros. It depends on the real-world situation of the currency, but either way, it’s still a valuable resource. Sure, there’s also the regular server wipe to deal with, but you can at least enjoy your riches before it happens. You can use it to trade for useful objects such as weapons, containers (Lucky Scav Junkbox, secure containers), or materials for upgrading your hideout.

So, take advantage of your Hideout’s Bitcoin Farm and create a stockpile of this currency. Enjoy Escape from Tarkov!
