So...  Are you planning to build something out of iron blocks, then?

Well ill see how much gets produced not that both the farm has been fixed and I can stay logged in longer...

Some thoughts I had:

1. A giant bender statue
2. A golem terracotta army setup
3. A giant iron block red-stone doors on an iron safe.
4. golem guards everywhere

Any idea how many ingots you're getting per hour?

I haven't timed it out since everything has been fixed... Golem spawn and iron / rose drops are randomized and fairly far apart.

[Lazybones]

I did a VERY small sample for 10min right after a golem droped
A golem was processed at
M:S
1:20
7:50
9:30
Produced
12 iron and 2 roses.

A larger sample is needed since the gaps between golems can be high and they can have lower drops. However getting a stack of bars an hour is still probably realistic.

[Lazybones]

New sample over 4hrs
175 iron = 43.75/hr
48 Roses = 12 /hr

Is there a way to increase the production?  Can you add villagers or put two of these side-by-side or something?

Yes, but it is impractical, unless you wanted to make a community project out of it...

Each farm / spawn pad has to be 128 blocks away from each other, each one is rather large. You also then need to get villagers into them.  My current build for a single one is fairly optimized... Also once you toss two villagers in they start breading due to the high number of doors.

I thought you'd get more golems if you had more villagers.

[Lazybones]

Sorry yes, you need 29 villagers per golem spawned... However the dimensions of the spawn area and what villagers consider houses limits how you can achieve this naturally. At a minimum you must have "21 houses" for the first golem to spawn.

I will have to double check it may be possible to stack more floors on my current design with more doors.

I think to be considered a house, there has to be sky above one side of the door? I can't remember for sure.. but its an annoying rule

That is why I linked it and that is part of the design I am using... However after watching another video I could probably optimize my current build with a few more doors.
