Hermitcraft S10#6: Ravager Wrangling

oh silly ideas with Etho, but that's how you learn new things. Let's do an experiment for everyone. We're on top of the world right now, far, far away, in some random location on the Hermitcraft server with a jump clock ticking every time. very often sending a pulse here and we're going to use this to automatically create TNT Minecarts and kick them off our platform. The faster the TNT Minecarts fall when they hit the ground, the bigger the boom. I think we're starting now. oh yeah, oh yeah, this is a good hole now, okay, let's get down here oh, that's bad, no, my wings, yeah, our stuff survived amazing, I feel good about this, I feel great, what's the What could be worse?

Oh yeah, look at all this beautiful, beautiful, deep slate. I'm getting, oh, those diamonds, you know, I didn't need those diamonds, okay, okay, oh my God, we are, we're really rocking it here, okay. The shield broke, okay, oh, let's go find the Cobble. Okay, so far, so good. I really didn't. spend a lot of time here, okay, and then break it, okay, we broke it. I think this works. Call me crazy. I think there is something to do. Alright. He's another Shield gunman. It's a big explosion. Yes. I think I should try it. to get out of here, are you serious?

Oh my God, my stuff is gone, oh we had the goods, we just had to get out of there and I screwed it up, I screwed it up, okay, we gotta get it going, third hole. we are going to make the crafter shoot, go down, we are going well and then we want to do it smoothly without hitting the ground, very strong shield on the way down, in case a TNT comes, there are a lot of things that I recommend to people. like mining sand with TNT and stuff because I think it's reasonable. I think anyone can do it.

This actually requires a bit of training. I think I've died a few times doing this now, but I feel much more comfortable now. that I have some practice, it's not something I would tell anyone to do, although sure, uhoh, uhoh, okay, that was a little risky because you don't want to be right in the middle because if it were it would land behind you from where you're protecting yourself you're going to die I got stuck on my flight okay deposit good stuff get our box always remember to get the box after depositing well here we go everyone I think that's going to be my new go-to method if ever I need deep whiteboard because it actually worked pretty well.

I think on average I was getting a deep slate stack per TNT Minecart, which isn't too bad either. I don't like cheating on TNT. In this game, so I had to find other methods to do things right and that one seems to be pretty good. We also liked the Wither method a few months ago and it worked well, but it's much harder to set up and much more dangerous. Believe it or not, this is less dangerous, what we just did, uh, but yeah, it looks like we have some mail here, oh, yeah, new mailbox. I think Gan set this up for us.

Great, banner usage there, uh, let's see here, what do we have terra? cotta hard stairs oh and a message from Joel hello Etho or as Joel would say EO how are you I'm sending you an email now Joel I love it it's not so nice to talk about obsessions I didn't tell you what I'm using Deep slate for Let's go down here, let's go see it, yeah , I needed like five Deep Slate Shockers for a project we've been working on and it's been my obsession the last few days so I started building it without much of a plan and then it's like I gotta add more I gotta add more more to this bigger yes more Moss I need all the Moss all the Moss welcome to the Moss pit everyone this is what's been driving me the last few days it's a little crazy it's a little too much oh you think we're done no come on down for another layer, huh, and then for another layer, in total, I think I made 18, uh, Moss farms here, my design of I think in season 8 I did it for the first time. a little bit modified too, but yeah, this is really cool, let's get it running here, we'll let you see it working in action, check this out, so you have lava on all four sides, it causes the stone to be pushed towards the middle and Every Once bone meal is used, a bunch of moss forms on the ground and then we collect the moss here, it falls into a bunch of collection systems and you can see it fall, yes, to reduce the amount of moss flowing through the system so it doesn't slow everyone down on the server.

We try to collect it as soon as possible in our composting units. There are three composters per farm on average, so it is collected right there and then it falls and you can see it. We have a composting unit up there, there's one there, one here, so there's one on each level, three together vertically and then there's another set of them, there's also some on the ends and then on the other side so that all the bone The food from the Farms is then collected down in a stream of water and then starts coming to each of the Farms, so it automatically refills them as it runs out, so you can see there's a hopper there for the one that happens and then that goes to the dispenser that feeds the bones to the stone and eventually it zigzags through all the farms and ends up right here until I figure out something better to do with them, but yeah, this is where we get our bone from. food and with all these farms running at 18, we're getting about 18,000 an hour.

I'd say it's like twice Hopper's speed, um gain after he recharges. I got a little carried away with this project. I've never made a big moss. Farm before, I always wanted to do it and I honestly think this is great. I love hanging out here watching all this stuff falling down the Moss, whizzing around the Pistons, and spreading out. There's something very satisfying about it and all the sounds. I think it's really cool now. I'll try to justify it a little. I don't like AFK in this game if I can help it and this is one of those farms where I can grow and get more, and bone meal is probably the best option.

The most important thing you can farm in this game besides gunpowder. I also need Moss for our permits. We have the Mossy Cobble that we need to supply people and we also have the Stone Permit which means we need Mossy Stone Bricks. I want to make a proper collection system. I also want to decorate it a little more. I think we should maybe put ladders or trapdoors in front of these lights. Maybe some kind of background behind the glass. I think we need stairs. going up between the levels or like an elevator at the end would be cool, maybe some pillars going from the floor to the ceiling and we'll probably add some more farms to this, like bamboo on the sides here, maybe a type of cane would be cool sugar, this is crazy, it feels like something out of Star Wars.

I wanted it to feel like a factory, so I kind of felt like that. I also like items that drop on you and stuff, oh my god this is wild to the bone. the food falls through the snow it's for alignment purposes it eliminates momentum so it just falls ok oh my gosh I love it there has to be some kind of construction we can do that's with the stuff that fall through the snow. so something special about it true is that this is a special place every new hermit season I have to build myself a cocoa bean farm for that brown dye you have to do it right and I find that I always have this dilemma if I go back and Look what I made in the previous season of Hermercraft or just, you know, I take those 5 or 10 minutes that I would spend, you know, loading up an old world looking for it, finding it, copying it or I just use that time to design. a new one and I usually just design a new one because this time they are very simple, although I think I made the best one every time, so I wanted to share the design with you in case you are curious here and the only way to really improve this is if you start getting into zero tick territory to make it faster, but for a simple one, I think this is pretty solid in single player, it will probably work fine for you, but on a server on Hermitcraft.

Here I was having a little problem when the server was lagging. I couldn't always place it against this jungle log. Let's see how it is today. We seem to be doing better today. Well, it's not that bad today, but I found. If I couldn't get it against the jungle log, you can also try pressing Shift and right clicking against the hopper, there we go, everyone okay, so now that we have our Moss farm, we build the bow flour farm and, uh, the cocoa bean farm, all set up. Do a quick little permit check here, how are we doing getting our supplies for the business district?

I think we're already very close to finishing everything so we have eight of the glass permits and the problem is I just had like glass sitting here and I didn't have bone meal to run our flower farms like we built the flower farms , we just can't manage them and now we can because we have that going on, look at all the bone blocks sitting here. Now we're good, so we can get glass in the business district, fill them, okay. Brown glass, yes we have cocoa beans. The only thing is that we made our Frog Light farm.

We have to build the Frog Light store. Let's check it out. that today maybe um Blue Glass covered pink red yeah yeah the only thing I forgot about the yellow glass we have to get a trident farm for gim we can't forget about that and Crystal we haven't even started we have to get one gas farm so for the Tei and andesite we can do it with cobblestone and quartz so maybe you need to barter piglin and then stone and mossy cobblestone we have the moss we just need the cobblestone and the stone and I made a deal with Joe, did you do this?

Joel XO, no I guess Joel did that and was originally a three and then he died three times and no longer has lives. I guess this is a video game joke, but I don't know how he thinks he's British. It's a different content, it's strange, for sure. I think I left another 80 shulkers in stone and cobbles here since you paid me last time, it's okay if you don't have all that at once. I know that's a lot of 160. It'll be 160 diamonds, okay, I actually have enough now, I've finally been, oh wow, I've been fighting here to get it, yeah, so I did something a little gross with our deal with Joe, so was supplying the Hermits with free Cobblestone.

They wanted it, they just had to go to his base to pick it up and now I made him a deal: he receives two diamonds by surprise and he can't give it to anyone. They have to come to me, the permit holder for his Stone and his Mossy. Cobble, if you want it, that's it, everyone, I'm going to charge you more, I'm going to sell it, six diamonds for Shuler, maybe nine for the fancier things like Smooth Stone, we'll be rich, you know what? I forgot to say, send Joel a response letter in the mail, let's do it real quick here, let's get our box there and I got a message written here saying "Dear Joel, I just saw the statues on your front door while I think you did a fantastic job when capturing my image.

I'm worried that your obsession with me may be going too far. In fact, I know that you think highly of me and it may seem wrong to get rid of Someone's statues. who you respect a lot, but I think it would be the best for everyone, and well, everything is going well for everyone, so there is another big project that we want to develop and it is our Frog Light store. In fact, I am very excited to do it. again the idea is we're building some in a frog light shop above ground here people can come buy some frog lights and go out or if they want if they're looking for a little extra challenge a little bit of fun , we are putting a Frogger game in the basement and they can pay a block of diamonds to play the Frogger game and depending on how well they do, the type of score they get in our Frogger game will determine how many frog lights they have .

They're going to get and probably get a little bit more right and this is where we are with this project. It's gotten to the point where I think we need to bring the

ravager

s here for our vehicles, so again in Frogger, the way it works is you have like a section of road, usually five lanes, so where you see the wool, here there's our lanes, we've got minecart tracks hidden underneath on the right, so there's going to be

ravager

s whizzing by Zoom zoom zoom and you've got to try. Make your way through the traffic without getting hit and then when you get to the middle section here you'll have a little break, a little place of safety and then there'll be a water section, the devastators will almost be like alligators. going through the water and we'll probably have some lily pads, some drip leaf that will fall if you stay in it too long, then you'll have to jump across the water section to the other side.

If you do that five times, you'll basically beat the level and that's the point of the game now. I don't know a lot of things about what we're doing. I don't know if we're going to have multiple levels. I don't know if we are going to have multiple levels. I still have extra lives. I'm deciding that that guyguy, this one went through this one. I passed, I just zigzagged chasing them and then it's almost impossible for them to hit me and I don't really know how to deal with it. That won't be a problem for the water section because we're going to have spaces between like the lily pads and the drip leaf, so maybe it's okay if the path is a little easy.

I'm not sure what to do about it. The other problem is looking at this big gap that we have, we don't have enough devastators. to fill all the car lanes, we're still about three lanes short, so at about 30 blocks long, we're looking at maybe 90 stretches of rail that are unoccupied and that's a problem, although doing a little math here If we get rid of it of two blocks on the right side, two blocks on the left side, we make our Arena narrower, four less blocks per lane multiplied by 10 lanes, that's 40 blocks, which would really help a lot and make things a little more challenging.

Also, I think we should do that with these random things too. I think we got rid of one of these. We don't need four levels of variation. I think three is enough and we cut the end here like that. Less rail for them to travel on. By the way, I hooked up the randomizer doing tests here, so when they pass by the detector rail it activates The Junction's randomization, so that time he went to this other one again, oh.and you saw that one changed, but they always choose the closest one if several are chosen that time, they went around the Long Path, the second one that time, so it seems pretty good when they reach this detector rail, the junction randomization is reset. so it stores it in memory for a moment until they pass, which works pretty well.

I don't have to worry about timing everything perfectly. To do this, we just have the first detector rail that they hit here goes to the droppers. They are facing each other and every time he chooses the sword, it's fair to travel two blocks to the intersection, yes, but unfortunately I think that's where we're going to have to leave this project for today. uh, narrow the sand in those four blocks, which will be a big reform. I'm going to try to do that and maybe a few other things before the next episode. I don't want to rush this project.

In fact, I want to take my time with it and make it great. Frogger is a bit of a special game for me. This is not just another project for me. I don't know if I told the story before, but when I was a little kid I knew what my dream job was what I was going to do when I grew up and you know what it was, I was GNA, I made video games for a living, That's true and it didn't actually happen. I played them instead, but that's fun too. uh, but when I was eight I got Visual Basic 3 for free with a 500 page book that came with it.

I read the whole book and tried to learn how to program correctly and little by little I learned. I was trying to do something different. game clones to teach myself um, I tried to make a game like Simon Says, I think first and it failed, and I tried to make a Tetris game and it failed, and then like Pac-Man and it failed, and when I was nine I started . to get a little better but I still didn't know what a matrix was but guess what you can do with Frogger without a matrix so that was my next game and I actually made it work fully functional like I draw all the Sprites.

For the game, I programmed it, it had the levels that it had, oh it had all the features, score and I was super happy with it and it was a fun project and I worked on it for months to make it happen and I finally found out that it was also one of those events that changed my life, since they taught me from the beginning. If I try, if I really put in the work, I can learn some challenging concepts if I'm willing to put in the effort and, you know, it's a useful lesson. learn, okay, so let's go to the commercial district, this has some business to do with us, uh, this is also the dark gray one, this is not mine, it's terrible glass, you don't want this glass, no, I don't want the light.

Gray definitely wants this garbage, glass garbage, okay, garbage, garbage, garbage, yeah, that's fair, you know what I'll tell you what, although I'll have you pack these five boxes of shulka, uhhuh, with whatever combination of glass he you want and if that generates greater profits. So be it, I'll give you 200 diamonds for five shaly boxes. Okay, look Etho, I hurt my wrist and I can barely break things. My index finger can't be used much. My index finger. My right mouse button. Although I can use a little bit uh, so I feel like maybe I can put a box in today before I have to rest my wrist.

Have you ever tried playing with your feet? It could be an idea, it could be something. God, I can't make that man like me. I don't have that much control. In fact, I did it before you got used to it. Yeah yeah, what's up with the pedal? Did you like putting your M? I used to play like MMO RPGs just where you grind like crazy and I played. I like multiple accounts and I learned to play with both hands and my feet, so you have multiple active accounts. Did you know? That is incredible. Were you on Mumbo's Freak Show?

I was I want it I think you've lost it I'm not I'm sure what happened, so here's the deal. I only get maximum profit if I sell magenta. Okay, you weren't very specific in your request. There is something I can do for you. ISO. Okay, this is not part of the deal. This is independent because I. I'm not allowed to sell tints or other colors of glass, um, but you know, if this just happened to land on your base somewhere, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't think there's any rule against, you know, just stumbling upon something like that. , these things happen.

I've seen them happen Haven't you seen them happen many times? It's strange. I find boxes all the time. Sometimes they come in the mail, even if people have mailboxes. Yeah, oh oh, what is this box? Maybe you picked it up. Don't know. oh, there's a box over there, oh wow, that's like a lot of junk this week. I also did something pretty fun with Tango. He had an area he needed to mine and there was an idea he wanted to try with TNT Minecarts and he, uh, let me. I tried it at his house and he also helped me figure out how to set it up with enough practice.

This is a good idea. This is a little confusing right now, so I think we're good now. Minecarts will be created with each click on TNT. Mine Carts will only craft when there is a Mine Cart there and the Dispenser will only activate when there is a TNT Mine Cart there. I think we got to that. We should close. We need the real TNT. Did you pick up the TNT stack? I have the TNT CU I don't trust you TR I think we're good, although it's okay, put the TNT, okay, so it's full, that's 64, we've got 64 iron.

I could just put them on the rail uh no when oh, that tank, go, everything's okay buddy, I'm outta here, you got the torch, yeah, I got it. I bumped into you on the flight, are we ready? I'm ready, this is going to be a big boom boom, okay, race. It Go, they're going to get out of there, it's working, you don't have much, you don't have much time, we really have to get on the beacon, okay, here we go, I'm going free-cam, here we go SM, what was that? Perfect, that was absolutely perfect, did you see they took off like a rocket, they shot really high into the air, that was amazing, so we probably used more than we needed, but yeah, we can talk about how perfect that was, oh , we?

I killed the chicken, no, poor chicken, let's go again, let's go again, that was so good that's actually pretty much the way you're looking for, isn't it exactly? It is perfect. I just need another like, let's see another like here. everything ready and three two oh wait a minute that's not very good there's almost no wait a few minutes in the middle of the countdown oh we're launching the new SpaceX rocket uh three oh wait a second I spilled my drink on my shirt wait abort everything systems no, I was going to extend the piston when I did, I was going to lock myself in there and there would have been intense panic, you would have enjoyed it.

I would have liked a little bit, oh, okay, countdown to real, ready, yeah, yeah. three two one come on, come on, how do I get out here? Oh no, they're putting on M's and we're off. The shortest fuse now for the tango, take out the shortest fuse here let's smoke, uhoh, did mine go off? It's a smaller hole, I think it exploded instead. up for some reason I mean it's a pretty successful hole if you ask me, it already has some extra vines down there, how was that, how did it come down at any time? Hey, and we actually could have put some more TNT in there because the rocket was lifted off and left with nothing on top, yeah, yeah, so I'd say full stack, full stack, is the way to go, yeah, aha, yeah, so it looks like Joel got our message in the mail and moved his. statues to our house for some reason, it's all good, you know, I've really been wondering if you think it's possible to do all the Hermits in this style because that would be cool, right, uhhuh anyway, I think he said he left. send us a message by mail, so I should probably check it before I finish today. um, yeah, we got a message, it wasn't me, oh, it wasn't Joel, dear Etho.

I'm inclined to agree that whoever made the statues did a fantastic job. I have to say it looks great, very good, whoever made it amazing, however, I can't take credit for it. I also agree that it is too much and I removed them, they really devastated the place, oh I didn't want them. They do go to waste though so I moved them to the front of your house, obviously you don't have to leave them there but since it's your area I found it more appropriate honestly Joel bean bean here we go oh man. I know there was a long list of things I wanted to do at our base in this episode, but I got a little relaxed and it's getting a little long, we're going to have to finish it, hopefully next time It'll be built like a river and stuff . uh, I should really work on the roof, uh, but, yeah, eventually.

I have a couple of things I can show you. I added a sheep farm in this tunnel. I wanted it away from our base because these guys are a little noisy and I thought this was a good place to hide them, so usually on sheep farms it is used as a mine cart with a hopper to collect the wool. I actually made this one a little differently, there's a piston back there. and I just wait eight Redstone ticks before I push and then just push the wool into the hopper, that way you don't need a mine cart with a hopper.

I thought it was a good, nice, simple thing, and then we only grew four. different sheep I chose the hardest colors to get, like black, gray and green, um, that's all there is to it. I already have more wool than I'll ever have, Ed, so yeah, that's great. I decided to move our lovely table, oh. and I made the furnace assembly, I prepared the mine cart for this and all the logic so that everything was done. I can cover that now and then we also add this lovely room down here so this can look familiar, it's kind of like that. like a remake of my lovely room from season 7, which I really liked, it's like a mix between look and function, you know, and last time we did it with orange colors, orange concrete, I think this time we had logs acia. a red theme that I think I like a little bit more and there's like blacksmithing tables on the roof Red glass mangrove um it's fully functional so we can swap between level one enchantments at level 30 um we have a screen here so this shows you how There are a lot of things inside the barrels, like for example, we are running out of arches and the blocks are disappearing, which is cool.

We also have a system here to create automatically written books, so it's like an infinite bookshelf, which is pretty neat. I'm missing ingredients. I can load them here and then we also have a way to dispense a lapis lazuli or we can get three if we're doing a level 30 enchantment and then there are also infinite books here, just the normal ones. some to enchant and I made some autocrafters for crossbows so if I click on that I just get crossbows if I click on this I get bows and then I can get fishing rods but yeah that's it for this episode I hope You enjoyed it, thanks for watching. as always and see you next time take care goodbye
