Hello. Love you guys

 

Can we get a way to mass farm dreadstone I know it's small, but it's the only endgame resource with no real good way to get en mass thank you.

Depends on what you mean by this. If you mean sources that just give dreadstone, then I do agree that there are not a whole lot (and it really doesn’t help one of them got substantially more cumbersome thanks to scrappy werepig), but if you mean sources that can be used to get dreadstone, I do feel there is quite a few.
 

The most notable one by far is using green gems with either just a construction amulet and then placing + smashing walls with anything for a flat 10 per green gem, or using a construction amulet + deconstruction staff combo on nightmare saddles with a Wilson to transmute the excess pure horror into more dreadstone (this is slightly more efficent overall, but obviously takes more setup). If you are endgame, you will most likely have a sproutrock farm you want to seek out, which is a fantastic way of farming the green gems needed for this. I myself have used this to get all the dreadstone I have needed to protect all of my non-maze ruins from earthquakes entirely. 

The second slower, but more consistent route, is just passively farming all the mobs that give pure horror and converting it to dreadstone via Wilson transmutes. While not as efficient, it doesn’t really take any setup, and I feel this will only become progressively better the more mobs that drop pure horror that arrive.

i'm personally against the idea of mass farming something which is endgame.

It's meant to be hard to obtain, because it's an ingredient required for some very good things.

If you need some for decorations i guess... but you are just going to use dreadstone walls to decorate or the pillar maybe, and you only require a few to craft the useful things.

I don't like that dreadstone is so hard to farm when dreadstone pillars are so expensive, they need to be half the cost or less as the only viable option is to use green gems to duplicate and when this is the case it means that there are no good reasonable farming methods.

Shadow Rift version of the Ancient Guardian.

Drops Dreadstone-Infused Horn (needed for new crafts), which can ALSO be deconstructed for dreadstone. Killing the Ancient Guardian speeds up Dreadstone production at other outcrops.
