Transcripts
yeah I got to get better at my time
spent what is
yours see I'm not a very entertaining
YouTuber gem so I have to put more work
into to make my episodes
better what do you mean what's your time
played I at 11 days 11 days is any of
that AFK not really
no Etho I got four episodes out do you
ever Lo yeah what yeah that's worse that
is worse that you only have four
episodes out can you get off the server
and do some editing my
God yeah now I will say though all my
episodes have been like 40 50 minutes I
got to get back to the 20 minutes been
huge I I got to get back to the 20s
again I haven't even watched your most
recent one cuz I looked at how long was
I was like I just can't I know it's a
problem that
long yeah so hello everybody and welcome
back to another episode of
hermitcraft oh ouch aha yeah so I'm
still having a little trouble finding my
sweet spot you know that perfect balance
between how much I play on the server
and and like when I start making my
video cuz uh usually I like to play on
the server a bit before I start putting
the video together just so it has some
direction to it and I've been finding
because like so much of stuff is
happening on the server but when I start
putting my video together like 20 more
things happen on the server as I as I
put it together and then it's like oh I
got so much to include and I don't want
to leave anything out but you know I've
also been spending a lot of time hanging
out with the Hermits goofing around
having a good time which has been great
uh but uh there's something else as
well this season of hermitcraft I
actually went into it with a plan
believe it or not and I've been I've
been working on this plan now as many of
you know I don't have the best track
record with with big projects I got a
massive project I want to do this season
so in order to make this happen I
realize I need to set a strong
foundation for the season early on here
so I'm doing like a lot of resource
Gathering early on here Farm building
infrastructure building I want to get
our storage worked out and uh you know a
lot of these like timec consuming kind
of difficult grindy projects I'm trying
to get done early on the season I want
to try to get our Base building done
early so that later in a couple months
or so when we transition to this big
project it's going to go smoothly and
there's a better chance I'll actually
get it done now I'm also trying to be
very careful not to leave too many Loose
Ends behind as we go through the season
here so you remember that big storage
mess we had here I got that clean up it
was a it was a big pain organizing it
and normally that's something I would
probably put off and uh you know those
loose ends they start to pile up and
then eventually I got to deal with them
and I don't want that to happen this
season so I I organized it I got it all
put away here and I I know this room
looks horrible with all these Sher boxes
but these aren't that bad actually these
are mostly organized like this is not
like random stuff for the most part this
is like I went and I got like 20
Shockers of sand that I turned to Glass
so that we could sell it at our shop I
made a bunch of TNT I mined up a bunch
of Terra Cotta like six things of Terra
Cotta here just doing resource Gathering
you know I I also went to like the end f
a Wither there just to get some endstone
even though I don't need it now we'll
need it for our massive project
eventually and it's just kind of nice to
get that in our inventory in our Ender
Chest in case we ever do need endstone
for some reason of course one of my
early season goals here is to get our
storage room filled up so we can get the
maximum Effectiveness out of our shocker
loaders but that requires an incredible
amount of resources a lot of crafting a
lot of organizing to get that done and
we're probably at like 20% now after I
spent a bunch of time on it and it it's
getting there but we got a long ways to
go with it all right everybody now check
this out this is so cool this is an
example of setting up infrastructure
that's going to benefit us for the rest
of the season here as long as we're in
this world every time I use this it's
going to make me
happy instead of keeping our Rockets or
our food or other consumables in a chest
where we have to like fumble around
manually looking for them maybe we run
out I got to figure out where the rest
of them are and that kind of thing and
uh you know craft them and all that
stuff we're going to have these quick
dispensing stations I did something like
this in season 7 of hermit craft and I
absolutely loved it where you just hold
right click on this
comparator the longer you hold down
right click the more Rockets you'll get
for example every time we click it we're
going to get eight when it's fully
filled up um and that way you can
control how many you get depending on
how many you need and it it's just
really nice right and now that we have
the the autoc crafter we can actually
make it even better uh it's really
simple as well is this an observer
detecting the comparator goes up to two
drops ERS and then up to two more
droppers and you just keep repeating
that pattern uh for however many
droppers you want the more you have the
faster they'll dispense them and then we
got a bunch of Hoppers going into those
droppers to Auto refill them from a big
storage unit like a chest and then we
got a autoc crafter hooked up to that
chest for the Rockets so we just have to
get it going here and look at this so
it's going to take our our sugar cane
craft that into paper that goes into
here and then we have one for gunpowder
and then that goes combines together in
this one makes our Rockets they go down
into our our dispensing station down
there uh
oh
problem oh I guess this can fill up
that's never happened before all right I
got to make some adjustments uh okay
let's shut it down for now okay I made a
little adjustment here so now the wire
goes up above here so it doesn't
interact with this crafter but instead
it checks if this runs out of paper and
then it tells this crafter to make more
uh we're going to add a couple more here
I want one for ender pearls for sure
maybe one for bone meal maybe one for
TNT I we we'll figure out the rest of
them but let's go get our ender pearls
oh look at this we just hopped into the
end here and we're getting greeted by a
shower of
XP uhhuh okay I haven't been to this uh
Enderman Farm uh just yet every season
of hermitcraft jevin makes an Enderman
Farm like within the first two weeks
and this season to change things up uh I
think you did in the first week all
right this is a good sign when you can't
pick up the XP fast enough in an
Enderman farm that means it's a good
Enderman Farm look at
this uh-huh uh-huh that's a good sign
they refill pretty quickly here looking
good all right so we're going to fill up
I think nine chalkers of Ender Pearls
and we got it loaded up so let's give it
a
try that should give us 16 yeah perfect
woohoo
we got ender pearls again free yes
please thank you all right everybody
well check it out here we are at the
shopping district and that's the big
thing that's been happening this week on
hermitcraft everybody's getting their
shops down in the new shopping district

got Ren's Beacon shop I think XB made a
grocery store here and he uh is
anxiously waiting for people to come

and as many of you know I have well I
don't not really I don't have a shopping
addiction uh I I can control myself um
no put those away put those
away it's temp though but this season of
hermitcraft I am vowing you know I I am
going to control myself I'm not going to
just do impulse buies all the time I'm
going to actually try and make my
diamonds last and spread them out
throughout the whole season 400 diamonds
lifetime supply but you can never
deplete my resources you've got to
always leave at least a few shulkers
behind yes yes that I'll make sure of
that but that's uh that's that's like
all my diamonds oh my goodness I'm

only angle that's an eight is like dead
on and barely don't steal Dylan now
you've already raided him what okay he's
low on health I'm getting
off why are you killing him how did that
even happen I don't know I don't know
you opened the box and then he got
squished and sad for science we got to
try it
again
huh I don't know what that
was I think you might have smacked him
with your sword no no he he got squished
there here happening
again who oh he almost died okay okay
okay why didn't you like it happen again
and you didn't get off I didn't realize
he was taking a villion damage every
time he took a
hit dude I was half a heart there that
was a close call three two one oh that's
a lot of
TNT so cool oh that is so good that is
so good we're back at base again here I
forgot to show you all the map that's
right we did another snapshot in time
I'm trying to do this every month so we
can see how the area changes over time
and and a month ago this is how our our
area looked remember we were missing the
corner on our house oh Cleo just
died and I got that filled in now and
most of the stuff I've been doing is
underground though recently so there's
not a whole lot there but you can see uh
Tango's foundation for his Factory
appeared we got pearls area got massive
updates with the pathing and her house
is like two three times larger on the
map here big big Improvement there uh
skizzle pyramid showed up and then we
also got uh Cub he got his firework
Factory going now I got to say I really
do like this location we settled down in
at first I just picked the spot to be
close to like Tango and Pearl and other
Hermits here but the more time I spend
here the more I realize just how good of
like a geographical location is how many
good things it has going for it we got
the jungle of course which I love uh but
it's also got the double cave spawner
down below it's got cold biomes nearby
like there is uh mountains near here so
if we need snow
or if we want to set up an ice Farm
we're going to be able to do that nearby
there's goats up there and a bunch of
different animals because there's so
many different biomes here we also have
the height variation going on for us so
this is like a high spot it allows us to
make some more interesting like build
stuff terraforming in the future
hopefully uh but we also have low spots
for like our creeper Farm to get better
rates down below here we have the water
for making a squid Farm the only body of
water near us as well so we get
incredible spawn rates down there and
look at this I also realized just
randomly we have a little sliver of
planes uh just over here this little
section and then it turns to like water
the river there that turns to Forest up
there and jungle this way Birch Forest
that way so this is a tiny little spot
but it's perfect for what we got going
on down below here uh this allows us to
do something cool without having to
leave our base did you wonder what was
behind the door here ah huh huh what
could it be what could it be it's
another
door uh yeah so just over this way
towards the the plains
biome uh what do we have what do we have
everybody a bunch of doors
and we're able to make a flower farm
here so Plaines is perfect cuz you get
the the dandelion here let's turn it
down real quick here you get your
poppies you get your blue flowers you
get the gray flowers o daisies and the
azeret blits so it's one of the best uh
Flower Farm
locations and now we got it right by our
base so that's cool so I set one of
these up um this is also
good for farming a bunch of other things
in the game yeah so if we swap out the
grass block above the bone meal
dispenser here with nyum we can use it
