Dire you can create a meksuit and when you add the water breathing you don't need the diving suit anymore because meksuit works underwater!! Hopefully you haven't done this already

[@rajnotfound]

I think you need 4 breathing unit to cancel out the debuffs under water

[@neeneko]

@@rajnotfound I was wondering about that. With the botania underwater gear you breath fine but still get the tunnel vision etc.

[@eamonnart]

I love how quick Dire moves onto other things - like he had plans to make the Mek gear and almost immediately got side tracked working toward Draconic lol

[@Becka_Harper]

You can also get a trinket that’s infinite water breathing. It’s only found in blue barrels.

[@masonbobbitt5507]

Currently waiting for dire to realize he has nether essence already…

[@L0rdNikoN1]

Hey dire, remember you can use a lever on mekanism pipes to shut them on and of if you set to them to redstone active with the wrench, so you dont have to use said wrench all the time on that trashcan

[@DizzyDJW]

Use "EZPipes" with a diamond speed upgrade to have access to filtering, in order to get rid of all that armor and weapons. The filtering options are amazing! You can filter with tags, and write whatever NBT data you want, or clear it out completely! I currently have one setup so I can drop in my Meat Feeder into the RS System, it'll spit it out into a Mekanism tank of Liquid Meat, fill it up and the NBT data tells it to output only a full Meat Feeder, so I can open my Ender Pouch and there it'll be, full again!

[@robertpickel2447]

There is a wither skeleton spawner which he already found in an earlier episode

[@gevitar04]

ik and it annoys me so much xD

[@KuruGDI]

22:30 What? A cable through the block?!? I was expecting a high level of Direwire! I demand that short cable to be removed! I demand the cable to be routed on the top of the spawning rooms. *I DEMAND MORE DIREWIRE!!!* 😁

[@kamikojoe]

30:22 there's a cheap tank(jumbo tank) that can hold 1024 buckets of liquid in mob utilities (not sure, but it's same as the mob crusher) :3

[@jordanyoung706]

There's an even cheaper drum that hold 4096.

[@tastwister95]

The glass domes in the nether have a wither skeleton spawner above the blaze one...

[@Kzorith]

I’m more interested why neither spawner in the dome spawned anything while he was in there looting the crates. Every time I’ve gone near one the mobs a waiting for me before I’ve even gotten through the gate.

[@microwavedkoolaid9193]

dire walking into the death dome and just standing there peacefully "good times" was comical

[@mrnice4434]

Yeah seeing over 3k nether essences in the RS interface could have be a clue that you have nether seeds ;P

[@JDKempton]

I really expected Dire to nose dive into the lava with that hotrod jetpack

[@The_True_one]

Dire, I think I saw mob souls going into your junk chest and probably then piping into the trash can. You should add those to the drawer system.

[@Johannes_Kuhn]

The Draconic Chest works well - except it has no JEI integration.

[@tomarnd8724]

Good job on building two spawning rooms, trying to fit essence production and mob spawning in the same room is always a mess

[@TruSpectrez]

I would make the Draconium Chest... at least for Quest Book purposes... for completionism.

[@wtechboy18]

16x tick acceleration on that 50kf/t is 800kf/t total. that's a lot of power.

[@t0ad]

27:40 man.. I'd have kept those tridents lol.

[@professormelon8695]

No, he voided the 2 tridents!

[@TheAustin2010]

In an earlier episode he killed a drowned and one. Put it in the rs system

[@michaelweaklend]

If youre looking for an interesting automation, I'd love to see you do something with all the dropped gear from the mob grinder. Say a disenchanter, some sort of rf based repair and finally into a tinkers smeltery. That would be resource generation without mystical ag...

[@Oakleyz]

I don't think I've seen anything that can repair items in this pack yet. Would be cool if he finds a way indeed. Also, Arc Furnace is a thing that can get resources from most armor which is nice. Fast tracked my Terrasteel seed, for example.

[@zsheets7483]

I would also like to know if there's RF-based repairs, because I was looking and didn't see that either. I just recently set up an arc furnace for recycling IF's mob crusher drops, with a requestor on my RS system keeping three graphite rods in stock at all times from an automated workbench. It's quite nice.

[@erebvs_dark]

Love the hard cut right before leaving the Nether

[@permeus2nd]

10:24 so personally I see the max tire as “”ok I need lots of this resource fast”” it’s not something I would just leave running.

[@Stomperdon]

Love your content Sir. Great job and keep it up.

[@Will-mk5pj]

This is just my opinion, but wouldn’t setting up a netherstar plant from mystical ag be a beneficial thing for long term? To make a single seed you do need four nether stars. And yes I understand that doing everything via mystical ag can be boring and stale it would be beneficial because you wouldn’t have to build wither traps to spawn and kill the boss. (Which depending on mods can be messy depending on the available mods) Speaking of mystical ag, why not replace the most important farmland blocks with insanium farmland? I would probably upgrade the essence farmland then work on the others.

[@paulnieuwkamp8067]

It's WAY quicker to use a stabilized mob spawner for the heads (mob grinder with decap upgrades) and mob souls + sand for soul sand, then use a wither builder and draconic mob grinder. You need a Wyvern Core (read: nether star) for the stabilized mob spawner so you don't have to stay near the spawner but you'll be swimming in nether stars before soon. Going the MA route, you need 27 essence for each nether star, while a simple, cheap mob farm and sand generator (hammer cobble a few times) gets you a star every few seconds for next to no RF (especially compared to power pots).

[@Will-mk5pj]

@@paulnieuwkamp8067 So… the bottom method you suggested would be best if you need nether stars quickly and a ridiculous number. While the top method would be similar to what Dire is doing? Thats how I understand it. Apologies if my understanding is wrong

[@Will-mk5pj]

Also, wouldn’t it have been easier to just run redwire from the fan control switch all the way to the mob killer so its not always active? I can imagine dire accidentally dying that way at least once. If it harms players.

[@paulnieuwkamp8067]

@@Will-mk5pj The top way and the bottom way are the same (use a spawner and grinder), and it is fast and cheap. Somewhere in the middle of the post I mention MA and 27 essences, that's of course Mystical Agriculture. I was (and actually still am) still watchin the video while I type, and Dire seems to go the spawner / grinder route, but he's taking quite a convoluted way to get there, and he's using the mob duplicator instead of a draconic spawner. The mob duplicator needs Essence, a draconic spawner doesn't need anything. I think the main issue with Dire is that he wants to do everything together. Just make a dedicated location for nether skulls instead of reusing the existing mob farm. I put it all in two compact machines; one with a stabilized mob spawner, mob fans and mob masher (sorry, called it grinder in the previous post) for the skulls, and one with a wither builder, some witherproof blocks and a draconic mob grinder in the other. Make sure to claim and chunkload compact machines though :) And yes, I have some Red Alloy Wire running to the fans and grinder in case I ever need to go in again, as mob mashers and mob fans definitely work on players. The draconic mob grinder can harm players, but it doesn't do so by default.

[@Will-mk5pj]

@@paulnieuwkamp8067 I see, thanks for the info!

[@Sgt.Morrigahn]

Why not siphon the xp essence into xnet, and reuse it?

[@pantheis]

The liquid XP is different than the essence you get from the mob crusher, they aren't compatible as far as I know. You can siphon the liquid XP off to make creepy XP jelly dolls you can eat for levels, or just pipe it to an XP faucet and stand under it for leveling up.

[@Malthinae]

@@pantheis Couldn't the experience orbs from the XP faucet be turned into Mod Essence with one IF machine, though? I seem to recall that there was a sewer block for that purpose, at least in Minefactory Reloaded.

[@BackyardFilms2]

@@pantheis while they are different interestingly both work in the duplicator

[@Sgt.Morrigahn]

​@@pantheis I've always used the essence from the mob crusher back into the duplicator though?!?

[@AcAb277]

there is a Timer from the mod i think redprojectils or something like that u can use it for fusion crafting auto start

[@muhammedyasirakkul8910]

Hi Dire, my games using lots of memory. I set it to 8 gb but it wants more but l saw you allowed 4 gb and using %83 of it. How can l do that too. I want to play MC but l can't please help me to do that

[@user-jm8sy5ox2j]

If dire didn't destroy all the wither skeleton spawners in the nether then he could use those for extremely easy wither skeleton skulls. You can use the mob masher from mob grinding utils with the beheading upgrade for tons of skulls or the mob slayer from draconic evolution (which doesn't require a nether star) with a tinker's sword that has the beheading modifier. I used the vanilla spawners and a mob masher for blaze and wither skeleton spawners and got thousands of blaze rods and wither skeleton skulls in barely any time. Blaze rods are super easy and fast to craft on demand lava and I have piles of nether stars from a super easy wither grinder

[@jasco666]

All I did was gathered 1 each of the spawners with a carboard box. Which takes up half my mob farm and the other half is Blurrsed Earth.

[@photic9855]

he already has seeds he is trying to make

[@mdjourney2026]

Hydroponic = Stonks ; PowerPot (slight stonks but energy usage is so high)

[@sleepypillow2716]

Is there filing cabinet in the pack?

[@Kzorith]

No. I don’t believe so

[@falxie_]

So glad you're not doing everything with Mystical Agriculture

[@PewaHamath]

I just thought of couldn't you entangle a single level and use that to switch everything off and on and never need redstone wiring I'm gonna test that.

[@corwinweber693]

Ok, who's got the pool started? ....the one for how long it takes for Dire to get killed by his own mob grinder this time? Anybody giving odds? :)

[@jonv1496]

Hey! Is Dire still live streaming?

[@JenInMinecraft]

Not at the moment - he's really busy with work, too.

[@blackgard3253]

Cool

[@rickvianna1399]

Uhull

[@miklymick5]

2:06 you say you want to do different way for nether star but you just always do the same old mob grinder of skeleton. Sigh truly someone who does same old stuff. Come on dire i know you can come up with a different way or more creative. Not rinse and repeat from old series. I believe in you.

[@Closer2Zero]

Truly bizarre. Of all times. Now you’re gonna switch away from doing it with seeds? And instead you’re gonna do the same build you always do anytime you need nether stars? So instead of doing them are unique and different way to the series, you’re gonna do it the exact same way you’ve been doing for the last couple of years? Are you fucking kidding me? You’re you probably just gonna use seeds for half the process anyway to make the materials you need to Spawn a wither.

[@MrFatPlummer]

Jesus man, its a minecraft lets play, why are you so hostile
