Spawn Proximity Caps and Mob Speed Comparison for All 11 Statues (Terraria 1.2.4.1)
168A little reference resource for any Terrarians planning to make something interesting with spawning statues. PC version 1.2.4.1.
Statue Spawn Caps/Limits:
Rule 1 - 0.5s cool-down on each of statue's 6 input tiles. (Note: Cool-down is also triggered by unsuccessful activations(!), when spawn is blocked by any rule 2 to 4.)
Rule 2 - No spawn if 3 or more mobs within ~13 tiles of statue footprint.
Rule 3 - No spawn if 6 or more mobs within ~39 tiles of statue.
Rule 4 - No Spawn if 10 of statue's mob type in world.
Mob Speeds (over first 5 seconds of travel):
Blue Slimes (dry) ~ 3 tiles/s (15 tiles in 5 seconds)
Rabbits ~ 3.8 tiles/s (18.5 tiles in 5 seconds)
Birds ~ 10.6 tiles/s (52 + 1 tiles in 5 seconds)
Bats ~ 13.5 tiles/s (40.5 tiles in 3 seconds)
Skeletons ~ 5.5 tiles/s (27.5 tiles in 5 seconds)
Mimics ~ 7 tiles/s (35 tiles in 5 seconds)
Crabs ~ 1.8 tiles/s (9 tiles in 5 seconds)
Goldfish (swimming) ~ 3.4 tiles/s (17 tiles in 5 seconds)
Jellyfish ~ 4 tiles/s (20 tiles in 5 seconds)

Sharks ~ 9 tiles/s (45 tiles in 5 seconds)
(Noticed after posting that the little, natural, blue jellyfish in the bottom right prevented the 10th jellyfish spawn. The yellow slime did not affect the blue slime statue though.)
