01 - ATM9 : To the Sky - Tree to Automation

I... have returned. And my head is in the clouds.
Welcome to episode one of All the Mods 9 : To the Sky!
In this starter episode, I go from one block of dirt and a tree to automation generating ores and lava overnight. Gotta love automation!

[@EvesterBee]

I’ve been trying to find an ATM9 series that isn’t super fast paced/high energy, this is perfect! You have a very calming voice and relaxed vibe

[@Nonsanity]

I feel like my voice isn't quite back up to par, as it once was. I'm out of practice. ...or just old. :D

[@rubikmonat6589]

The only other MC youtuber close to this level of chill is Wilx, who hasn't done any MC content for a long time. Vaygrim is a little bit louder, but a similar vibe, and.... oh... hasn't posted a video in 6 years. I'm feeling old now. Where has the tine gone?

[@blockyround2160]

@@rubikmonat6589 I'd recommend captainsparkles, he's been doing a really nice series atm on both twitch and his second channel

[@Goldern]

@@tl1326systemcollapse is very fast paced, guy plays like a speedrunner xD

[@cointosskenku]

Algorithm blessed me today, stumbled across this and straight away "finally, someone who plays nice and calmly, theres no rush to be anywhere, just enjoying the game and vibing and thank christ his not screaming every 5 seconds!" subbed, cant wait for more, but i will

[@Nonsanity]

I mean, if you WANT screaming (spritzes throat, goes mi-mi-mi-mi experimentally) I can try to provide...... *big intake of breath.....

[@Zach010ROBLOX]

I like how you handle off-screen gr8nding. We get a nice explanation of what each step entails, then you grind and come back, but take us with you before progressing.

[@Nonsanity]

I try to keep in mine the entertainment factor of the audience as I go. Well, and mine too - I have to watch it once while editing and again to proofread my work. :)

[@Vanderx]

That is a very good point. I lose interest in a series very fast if another episode comes out or it cuts and they say “I did a little off camera building” and it’s like 4 hours of progression or building without any explanation

[@smithnyou2352]

Always nice to come across a real engi lets play. Once you are capable of maximum efficiency it is no longer the priority, setting aside time to put thought into how the builds will look. I am definitely going to go for a second run on this.

[@Nonsanity]

I try to add a little aesthetics in, though at early stages, I'm rather focused on getting established. THEN I'll decorate (I tell myself, though sometimes I never get around to it...) :D

[@Ergoplato]

Wonderful to sit back and enjoy a Nonsanity video again. As usual, I learned some new techniques I didn’t know before. Thanks!

[@Nonsanity]

If one persons enjoyed learning something, then I feel my time was well spent. :)

[@smash22387]

Welcome back. I just started this in singleplayer 2 days ago.

[@Nonsanity]

I started playing it the day it came out, then decided to play it on camera. :)

[@zzetss-4610]

Nonsanity:"Did he fall over the edge?" The trader: 45:43

[@Nonsanity]

Ba-ha-ha! That’ll teach him to be invisible. :D

[@DuckWarrior13]

It's funny seeing so many comments saying they're glad you're taking your time... I'm glad you're not so slow! I'm so sick of every MC series being a tutorial, like we need to be taught every little mechanic in every single modpack over and over again. And it's never enough to just say "this works like this", they have to spend 30 seconds demonstrating! Every single time! I just want to watch someone play normally, and if you do something I've never seen before, I can learn just by seeing it done! So thank you for not making every little recipe and mod interaction a tutorial and just getting on with it.

[@IskeletuBr]

Oh wow, Wasn't expecting the new series so soon. Right on time, food just arrived lol

[@Nonsanity]

Once I decided to start the series, there’s no stopping me. :)

[@TheBirdieBomber]

Somehow I found your channel and I absolutely love your videos! I subscribed immediately! You show us what you are doing and talk about it all in a way that is so easy to follow and understand ...and even when you do some off camera work you walk us through what you did ... at a very nice pace ... so many youtubers talk too fast or skip over lots of what they did off camera and leave me feeling lost and bewildered ... I have a solid grasp on how to play a skyblock pack after watching your first 4 videos in this series. You inspired me to restart my game and start out with the single tree, single dirt and piece of bedrock and its turning out to be way more fun than when I started with cozy cottage.

[@swastikgoomber]

you have a really calming voice

[@ryanrickards846]

its been a long time but man I am glad you did this, I loved following along with your old stuff. Thank you for doing this.

[@ARRVVVIIINNN]

Got a series to binge! I always check once in a while if you cooked up another series! Thanks for the vids!

[@LaserGamingYT]

Glad to have you back! Keep it up! :)

[@Nonsanity]

I'll try! :)

[@DadsYoutubeAccount]

Thanks much for the video. I'm digging the more chill play along myself. Of course, old school modded minecraft stream references like "cobble for days" gives me some fond sev memories. Definitely dig OGs creating modded minecraft content. great job!

[@DadsYoutubeAccount]

PS. that apple sapling trick early on is something i've never done for food. I've played alot of skyblocks from sky factory itself to now... never tried that before. i always rush to twerk wheat, but this is a more sustainable idea. Thank you for that! Your tips are great.

[@say_my_name7551]

Love your Pace and Voice and tbh you are a better teacher then my real ones and you deserve more subs 100% i hope you have a great day

[@MarijnRoorda]

It is very nice to see you back at it again! That said, i must have done so many skyblocks, First your punching trees, 2 days later it's a mad rush to automation, then you have infinite everything and it's just a finish the questbook thing again. And i still have nightmares about Project Ozone 3 Kappa mode and NTC2...

[@fractalgem]

And then theres madlads playing gregtech ne horizons in a void world XD

[@Nonsanity]

This sort of pack is a lousy way to play vanilla, but it's a great way to experiment with combining mods in fun and profitable ways. That's why I like the kitchen-sink packs have the right mix of "make a lot of..." and "use all these mods..." to get to an established end goal (ATM Star, in this case). It's fun to use new mods -- or improve on previous uses of old ones, mechanically or aesthetically -- and it's fun to find ways to make loads of something which requires good automation and efficiency. So that's my take on it. :)

[@meraduddcethin2812]

Thanks so much for this series. I look forward to even more outstanding content.

[@Nonsanity]

Well, I don't know about outstanding content, but I made a second one already. :)

[@Sw3d15h_F1s4]

shat my pants when i saw this in my recommended, last time i saw one of your vids was back in the avant 3/primus unabridged days

[@Sw3d15h_F1s4]

had no idea u were still going! awesome!

[@Nonsanity]

Well, I wasn't for almost a year, but I'm doing yet another one! :)

I enjoyed this very much. I always learn something from your videos.

[@Nonsanity]

That’s what I was going for, so… Yay! :)

[@scottrelstyle3647]

Can't belive how much i just learned.... nice start cant wait to watch it all....

[@Nonsanity]

You started just as I finished the pack, so you have 23 more episodes to go. :)

[@cbcothren]

OMG! Welcome back Nonsanity!

[@tamleen95]

I've been awaiting your return. Nice to see you're back. Loving the new content.

[@Nonsanity]

I saw you waiting and thought, I really shouldn't keep him waiting like that. It's rude. And I don't want to be rude. So... here it is! :)

[@MatthewDarks]

Lol! I’m pretty sure you mined a block out from under the trader! You looking around for him afterwards was hilarious. Nice set up btw, gonna change mine a little after seeing this.

[@Nonsanity]

Someone pointed that out to me. I laughed when I saw it. That'll teach him to be invisible around workmen working. :)

[@MrOraiz]

Happy to see you back!

[@Nonsanity]

Happy to be back! :)

19:45 omg heart attack, the soft shadows behind looked like blue sky and clouds.

[@notavoicechanger1808]

1) Ultimine works with the sieves - Hold your hotkey and you can sieve up to 64 at once. It respects your mode - shapeless will grab the 64 closest adjacent. 2) Break 2 logs and make a crafting table and a crook - this lets you be a lot more likely to get a sapling. This is the standard method for all packs with them

[@Slite62]

"He places the silkworm on the tree....", I really got some "Silence of the Lambs" vibes there :)

[@MatthewDarks]

Or else he gets the paxel again!

[@Nonsanity]

I'd make slur-slur-slurping noises, but the silkworm already makes a sound like that. :)

[@lucagaratti]

As always, lovely video. We missed you

[@Nonsanity]

Gotta aim better then! :D And, thanks!

[@toothpick434]

Such a chill vibe. Great video!

[@Nonsanity]

The chill comes from age. (Is it cold in here, or just me?)

[@Potato-n4s]

Quick tip, I know you don’t commonly have your tools in the inventory, but if you get the repair talisman from project E, without realising you basically never have to repair or craft new tools. Might also work for the ore hammer but I’m not too sure

[@JamesStansell]

Great tip! Constant repair is really nice. It does not work for the ore hammer or the engineer's hammer.

[@D1rkP1tt]

So glad you are back!! Love you vids

[@Nonsanity]

I’m glad I was remembered. :)

[@TheManiek98]

How do you mark the leaves on the tree to break them all? 8:02

[@ionized_cat]

he used ftb ultimine which is included in the pack

[@Freedbot]

I just recently swapped out the old trusty Iron Chests in a skyblock pack I'm working on for Sophisticated Storage. I'm so used to the old ones that I didn't even think to check if Sophisticated chests could form double chests. Good to know.

[@mm3jgh]

Nice to see you back !

[@Nonsanity]

Fun to BE back. :)

[@craftsmanchris5750]

Im Nonsane in the membrane I'm so happy you're back!

[@Nonsanity]

And I'm Phantom Membrane of the Opera. Nice to meet you! :)

[@LindaJuffermans]

You're lucky, in most packs the sieves are coded to have a limited speed. The Create depot is really cheap and allows you to right-click items on and off for the lava cooking which also prevents you from getting cooked :) Nice start!

[@Nonsanity]

Hi, Linda! I’m glad there’s no limit, as speeding up the boring bits seems like a good way to make things more enjoyable. The depot makes automation simpler and prevents despairing, but raw-dumping the stuff on the ground allows many, many stacks to be processed at once. I like the speed. ;)

[@fractalgem]

Saaame, gotta get the bulk from bulk blasting and washing. you can also auto drop and then filter with some variant of vacuum hopper if you need yes automated throughput

[@paulelderson934]

I find that create brass funnels with tag filters are amazing early game for just about any purpose.

[@LindaJuffermans]

@@paulelderson934 Yeah, sadly fails on items that can be blasted twice such as cobblestone. Otherwise, awesome filters.

3:20 we almost had first death. You can see him falling and barely holding on to the halfslab by a toenail. Just for a millisecond and just an inch on the safe side 😅

[@Nonsanity]

I was crouching, so I was always safe. But I know the moment you mean - I moved from the upper block to the lower one and back very rapidly. It looked far scarier than it was. ;)

[@gravedigger-cusoon]

Holy crap! You said it the right way. You sift in sieve. And you say sieve properly too, not "seeve".

@@Nonsanity thank you for telling me, again, really happy I found your channel!

[@wojtekdudek2374]

3:17 No, they are not the same amount. Since 4 framed cubes cost 4 planks + 4 sticks (2 planks) = 6 planks / 4 cubes. 6 slabs costs 3 blocks, and because you made 12 of them, you used 6 blocks, in this case 6 framed cubes, and spent 12 planks to be able to craft it (since 4 framed cubes = 6 planks, but you cannot craft partially, hence you crafted 8 framed cubes = 12 planks), Then you used 6 of those blocks to craft 12 slabs. Remember that since 4 framed = 6 planks, we can easily see 1:1,5 (or 2:3) ratio. In case of planks, you'd use 6 planks to get 12 of slabs, here you technically used 9 planks to get 12 framed slabs. (3:4 ratio) If you used planks instead, you'd get 18 slabs (1:2 ratio) (For 24 framed slabs (18 planks) you'd get 36 normal slabs)). Not to mention that framed slab requires a block. If you put plank there, then we see 5:6 ratio (planks/framed slabs), which makes this block horribly inefficient in early stages of the game, and/or if you're planning to put planks in it. (basically for cost of 24 filled framed slabs (20 planks) you can make 36 normal slabs and have 2 left, or 40). That's very inefficient.

[@Nonsanity]

LOVE the number-crunching! :) That’s why I said “the same, plus the sticks” since you get sticks when chopping down the trees, so you don’t have to make them from the logs. But yes, they are a bit more expensive, plus you eventually have to put another block on them to change the look. But they are still sort of fun and different. ;)

[@dpb9652]

should make a crook for the beginning. :) You are guaranteed saplings when you use it.

[@Josherew]

Lucifer, "I am not a crook"

[@DampferOnkelNerasis]

repair talisman from projectE is quite cheap and helps a lot in the early game ^^

[@Nonsanity]

Helps more when you have half an alchemical bag of them. (See ep 2.) :D

[@ianmoseley9910]

You can actually steal the dirt from the lobby before choosing an island. (Until they fix this)

[@Nonsanity]

I recorded my intro three times. I think in the first two, I mentioned you could do that, but that I wasn’t going to as that obviously wasn’t intended and would likely be changed. I wouldn’t want you to start the series doing something that no one watching later could duplicate - if I can help it. :)

[@noahharper5324]

Cool video! Can I ask how you did the autoclicking script?

[@rubikmonat6589]

my redneck way is hold click with one hand and unplug the mouse with the other.

[@Nonsanity]

I used ChatGPT to write it. It is available on my Discord channel in “Stuff”. Make sure you only use it with AutoHotKey v2. :)

[@TheManiek98]

37:40 HOW ? pls HOW ?

[@Nonsanity]

[looks at that time index] You mean using the Builder's Wand to place blocks from the shield hand? The wand normally places more of the block you click, but if you have another block in your off-hand, it places those instead.

[@DPatau]

yay xD
