I joined a week or to ago, and I've gathered most basic materials. I'm working on my base, but I need a lot of farms to fill it. I have virtually infinite space to work with, so if you have any ideas for farms I could build, please share it with me I usually work on farms myself, without any tutorials, but unfortunately my brain is busted and I need your help!

The farms that Rendog did are amazing (Hermitcraft S5). I loved his item elevator idea!
Making mob farms are probably the hardest, but most satisfying, farm to make (not including the redstone parts of transporting them, etc.). Automatic mob farms can either use lava, cactus, or even water drowning, but I would suggest using either fall damage (and then an item elevator) or a Vindicator named "Johnny." This causes the Vindicator to kill ANY nearby mobs.
Maybe having the produce flow underground (having glass to view it) is the cheapest way to make an item transporter and one of the most satisfying.
Limo!

There are so many farm ideas...
Automated wheat, carrot, potato, and beetroot farms (villager run)
Automated sugarcane farm
Semi-auto vine and cocoa bean farm.
Tree farm
Stone generator
Automatic chicken cooker
Semi-automatic cow/pig/sheep farm
Wool farm
Mob Spawner grinder (need to find spawners for this)
Witch Farm (need at least 1 witch hut)
Slime farm (need a slime chunk)
1-village Iron Golem farm
Guardian Farm
Flower Farm

And I'm sure there are some I'm missing.

I've recently found a Spider Dungeon real close to my base! It's about 20 blocks away and 80 down. Could you suggest a design for a spider xp farm or grinder?

That's a tricky one, as spiders can climb walls. Nevertheless, I think you could make it similar to the average zombie spawner, except with an inner 1block ring 2 blocks high so that the spiders fall into the water but can't climb out. (And also you can use my mob spawner which occasionally produces spiders as well).
An idea for the spider farm that I've tested, ya might want to try it out:http://www.mediafire.com/file/tk3190btv2tn9bh/Spiders_for_crlow.zip
