Hermitcraft S10#6: Ravager Wrangling

Today we experiment combining TNT minecarts with the auto crafter to make some useful mining techniques. We delve into moss madness by making an 18 cell farm. We check out Joel's new Etho statues. Then we join up with BdoubleO to get some raid ravagers for the Frogger game replica.

@@BugGutzzz which episode was this?

[@2020_Gaming]

Game designer here! I have some ideas for Ravogger to counter the issue where you can just dodge the ravagers by just following them one after the other. One option is to add a time limit to make it so that if you snake through it then you have significantly less time for later sections. If you do add a time limit, having a scoreboard for going faster or different reward tiers for going faster would encourage players to take riskier maneuvers, just like Decked Out! Another option is to add pressure plates w/ lights through the street that dictate how the players have to move across the streets, removing the ability to just chase the carts as they go by. Finally, adding some optional collectibles that drop from the ceiling at the start (maybe a raffle ticket they could redeem after they play?) on the streets would encourage people to book it towards those independently of where the ravagers are, especially if there was a time limit. Also, I would lean into the double-ravager "glitch" as they were getting released. Having two go at the same time would emulate the different size trucks that exist in Frogger as well! Or, honestly, leaving it as is and letting players discover the "exploit" and then teasing them for using it might also just work as well! Looks really good so far, I love how you're doing this and I'm excited to see how it all comes together!

[@Kiwimarauder]

This is a really great comment

[@sjoerdbarten4902]

Another option would be to fill the floor with copper bulps, redstone ore or trip wire or something similar so that you can track updates to the block. then you can keep a score of the number of blocks walked (that have been updated) which would work similar to the time panalty

[@plutovortex8358]

Or to replace the floor with slime/honey blocks under carpets to get jump effects or slow the player down at the harder lanes

[@sambuma]

Using walls or glass panes over the track and one block before and after could create lanes when crossing to prevent ravager chasing as well. I'd imagine the increase in difficulty for the water area will counter the ease of the roads as Etho already mentioned, though.

[@njkivines7751]

[@novaintemittnamn]

Etho should have a look at the obsession graph on the subreddit For anyone wondering, someone went and counted how far into every video that Etho and Joel(and some others) say eachother's names. Baisically, Etho, on average, says Joel's name 64.16% into the episodes Whereas Joel, on average, says Etho's name 41.88% into the video And that, my fellow Ethogirls, is definately INDISPUTABLE evidence, that Joel is more obsessed with Etho😊

[@lisaverbunt7303]

But doesnt that mean Etho says Joels name more... so hes more obsessed?

[@SharksFan1997]

@@lisaverbunt7303I don't think it counted the frequency. Just how soon the name was mentioned. So Joel says Etho earlier in his videos than Etho says Joel.

[@novaintemittnamn]

​@@SharksFan1997 Yepp, completely correct, it's not counted by frequency, but by percentage of time, or in other words, how soon into the video they mentioned eachother's names! For anyone still confused, go to the Ethoslab subreddit and find the post, I think it's by u/DeadSpiderInPocket and it's called 'Etho obsession graph' Also, I would just like to add, that Etho's videos are about double the length of Joel's video, meaning that Joel says Etho name even more early and often compared to Etho. Because if you do the math, 41.88% of an almost 21minute long video(Joel's) is shorter than 41.88% of an over 40 minute video(Etho's) and especially a lot shorter(just like their height irl) than 64.16% of that over 40minute long episode.

For the Frogger game: Throw some soul sand around on the roads to make it a bit more difficult. Also, I think a cool idea would be to make a small chamber (even if it’s just 4 pistons around you) that makes a slowness potion get thrown down from the ceiling, and then while that’s happening, that’s when the ravages start filling in.

I feel like one of Etho's major arcs in the last couple of years is finding the perfect method to farm up deepslate. And it's very funny because he comes up with such wacky solutions.

[@jeanlou3]

To be more accurate, farming deep slate without duping tnt. At this point I REALLY wish for a wand farm, so with the crafter we have a tnt factory… it would solve so much…

[@AnoneemusNoename]

@@jeanlou3 Autocrafter setup to make tnt minecarts, slimeblock launch them and then advance by a set amount and have it so you trigger it via infinity bow then run back and forth before triggering it for the next pass. So basically the same thing he did here only horizontally instead of vertically combined with a tunnel bore with autocrafting only sideways opposed to vertically via gravity so you don't have to stop at bedrock and move/rebuild everything all the time (and fly back and forth getting 'sploded and trying to do crap in a hurry without losing everything). This is way easier to do piecemeal yeah, but my way is superior as far as logistics and resources are concerned and also one and done/tileable. Edit: The real answer however is just dupe the TNT though cuz that's ridiculous and doesn't make any sense. If it's doable in game without mods it's valid. That's not "cheating" it's "emergent gameplay". In other words, the same thing as most of the buggy redstone mechanics he hypocritically wouldn't go without such as BUD detection/quasi-connectivity (which eventually led to the observer the EXACT same way sand and TNT duping is leading to renewable sand ;) Yes, Doc was (and still is) objectively correct. People can play however they want. Totally fine to be a masochist and handicap yourself all day. Nobody cares so long as you don't ACTUALLY lie, cheat or steal (or force your lunacy on others lol). Sorry for the PSA but it needed to be pointed out as Hermitcraft (a server that's all SUPPOSED to be about individualism, diversity and creativity) has a nasty collectivist/totalitarian streak that slips through the facade on occasion (no matter how much they try to hide it). Bear in mind i'm not blaming Etho (or anyone for that matter) as i HIGHLY doubt it was done out of actual malice (well, at least i hope not) but a small touch of generalized ignorance and intolerance can often go a long way when ppl start getting tribal over it.

It doesn't completely get rid of the strat, but it will force the players to be a bit more mindful when strafing back and forth. Another idea I have with the potions is to sometimes have little events like "rain" (splash potions fall from ceiling) or "flood" (water flows around the track) to make the path a little harder to traverse

[@Gu35s]

For the frogger's ceiling, cover it in glass, then the other side of the glass is a big Joel's face looking down as if he's the one playing the game and the player is the character. Joel's obsession with Etho has modded his frogger game into Etho themed..

Regarding chasing the ravagers making it easy - maybe you could have the ravagers randomly stomp on the brakes (stop abruptly for a couple seconds), or even have the lanes randomly reverse direction.

[@unoriginaltitle4050]

Etho’s heartwarming frogger story cutting directly to him explaining how he used to play MMORPGs with his feet gave me whiplash 💀

[@georges1991]

recommend watching tango's vod of them doing the tnt minecarts. was like 30mins of good times. plus etho killing tango earlier in the vod

[@j_edwards6075]

That story about playing the games with your feet reminded me when I was younger. I sunk many hours into Need for Speed Carbon and became particularly good at drift races. I spent hours and hours every weekend for about 5 years playing that same race because I was addicted to try and constantly beat my own score. I would ask my brother to try and beat my score and he could never come close. He never had the patience to play games so I challenged him that I could still beat him even if I play using my feet. The challenge was enough to keep him playing and I managed to absolutely floor him while playing the game with my feet.

God I love how the moss farm looks, the bonemeal falling down past the platforms is such a great touch. There's an art to making redstone not just functional but also pleasing to the eye, and I think you're one of the best at it

[@strana6875]

The "moss pit" has the SAME energy as that guy with the "eel pit"

[@cstew312]

Hell yeah eel pit dude

[@Oldladies_o7]

He should throw a rave down there... it'd become a mosH pit.

You should put a few frogs (on leads) at the end of the frogger game like how there are some in the original game. Also, you should connect the “on” switch to a box so it gets activated when a player puts their payment in and it starts to gear up the ravangers. Maybe you should have it set on a timer with maybe a 3,2,1 ding noise to tell the hermit to get to the start which is where a gate is that gets opened. Doing this just allows the ravangers to get flowing into the system. Also, you could always make two separate sections of ravangers, 1 for the street, the other the river part so there doesn’t end up with a gap. It would help so u don’t need to get so many more ravangers to just fill up the empty pocket. 🤷‍♀️

[@brettellier]

For frogger, you could add a mix of soul sand and regular blocks to the road and then use carpet to cover it up. This would roughly keep the aesthetic while making the game a bit more difficult as speed would be a little unpredictable.

[@ctrlaltshift]

Hey Etho, I remember the frogger story from when you tried to make frogger on your singleplayer server. I remember hearing it as I was just starting to get into coding in high school. Not sure how long ago that's been now, but years later, I am now graduating with a degree in Software Engineering! If I recall, the singleplayer version was very similar to the Hermitcraft version, but now you're using ravagers and other tech for the rail system, which I think makes this completely worthwhile! Especially since the project is so personal to you! Thank you for years of great content, and keep up the good work!

[@starscarrednyx]

The best explodification! And the moment Tango REALIZED he was a moment from locking himself in on that one section 😂 thanks for bringing this around, it was perfect!

[@DemorealGaming]

make the frogger ceiling open up like a lucid dream where a visage of Joehills is staring into the arcade machine with excitement on his face! It would be AMAZING!

[@wintersoul510]

There is something just so visually pleasing about the moss farm with its falling bonemeal and the frogger game with the ravagers just rolling by.

[@jimmartin516655]

For the frogger game, you could put dispensers in the ceiling. The hermits get to keep what they collect but they must make it across all 5 times.

[@JohnFiala]

Etho and Tango and TNT is a literally explosive combination. So much fun to watch!

[@49luk_1]

"speaking of obsessions" was so brutal xD

[@john38825]

Those etho statues are truly a masterpiece

[@MagnusMendax7]

It really feels like Etho is a lot happier or more energetic recently it’s so uplifting, it’s infectious. Though that might just me projecting after another Etho upload :)

[@rstidham980]

Seeing Etho bring Frogger to Minecraft is just the best! Frogger was my first video game and is still my favorite! Seeing it come to life in another game I love makes my heart happy ❤

[@ohjearelle]

Of course the guy who is so passionate about video games (whether it’s playing or creating them) has learned to play with both his hands and feet. Oh my goodness. So much Etho lore in these recent videos, I love it! Thanks for being you, Etho. ❤️

[@StuffandThings_]

1:37 NO WAY that's got to be one of Etho's craziest deaths yet

[@jakebradsher2763]

I think one way to make the road section of frogger a little more challenging would be to add some obstacles into the road part that you run on like some little cars or stop signs, etc. just something for the player to have to avoid and run around for more challenge

[@queenrhubarb1676]

Watching Etho and his shenanigans always makes me feel better.

[@olavisalomaa]

That moss farm is sick. It really does feel like a factory, not just a big farm.

[@isaugh8784]

I’m so excited to see how it looks fully cleaned up. Same with frogger. It’s so satisfying to see it all become so pretty on top of being so functional

[@dexterm2003]

Some frogger thoughts: - Potions of turtle master would be fun with slowness and resistance. - Potion arrow dispensers would be interesting. Typically, it is a shorter effect time, and you could easily randomize what is sent and have it only affect the player. - Glass pillars to create some lanes could eliminate the ability to chase the ravager. -Soul sand or honey blocks would make it fun to mix up or even blue ice so that you slide around when you might not want to. - Pistons to raise or lower obstacles would be interesting. - I wonder if boats on blue ice could be used to make them move even faster? You would need a dedicated ravanger on that lane? Overall, it seems like a really fun project and game! I hope you are able to make it the way you want it and that the hermits have fun with it.

I LOVE the "Speaking of obsessions" SO FUNNY

[@joemannumber1]

Every season there are a handful of perfect episodes. This is one of them

[@thomasloveys70]

I'm starting to think Joel is obsessed with Etho

[@Therisibledeer]

no ofc not its eefo thats obsessed with joel obviously - he is too tall and humbe to be obsessed with anybody but himself

[@tamarabikic3217]

Etho is the one obsessed but is trying to gaslight us into thinking the opposite

[@libertybridger]

They are mutually obsessed

[@mosshivenetwork117]

Uh oh

Your videos are my therapy. Thanks for all the laughs, and the hilarious imagery of a guy playing an mmo on multiple accounts with both arms and legs. Take care, Etho.

Out of all of the Double Life pairs, I would've never expected Etho and Joel to be the ones still carrying it on, and yet here we are xD

I find redstone mindboggling! But for some reason when etho explains it, it somehow makes sense and seems straight-forward. One of the many reasons to love etho.

So much Etho lore dropping this episode
