Hermitcraft 10: Terraforming Tango... And Pickles | Episode 16

PearlescentMoon dives back into Hermitcraft with some relaxing terraforming in the Solar Punk base as well as Tango's own starter base across the river.
However, what's some good terraforming without bugging your friends at the same time?

"This is the progress I'm choosing to make this episode" Yes Pearl! I love that you're setting healthy boundaries that prioritise your wellbeing with your work. We love your videos and the content you create, and I know there's a "power creep" pressure from which all entertainment media seems to suffer, where each new project has to be bigger and better than the last, completed faster and all at once. It is normal and understandable you've felt that pressure, but the people who enjoy your work enjoy it whether you stop halfway through and come back to it, or get stuck in off camera and showcase it, or time-lapse the whole thing. It's all stunning work and we appreciate the effort and love you put into it 💙

[@lightkevlar]

"How many jellybean pickles are in my tree jars."

[@Fyrefrye]

Suggestion for an escalation of the Pickle shenanigans: pickle farms are pretty simple to make. What if you started stocking Gem's Pickle store for her? What if you got Tango to help you make an auto-pickle farm and started leaving her chests of them? Or mail her shuklers of pickles from a "secret supplier" who she will almost certainly know is you, but you get plausible deniability if you don't directly include your name. I'm remembering some of the ridiculous things Joe used to do with Cleo back in season 7 when he started flooding her base with thousands of armor stands. As a bonus, an auto-pickle farm would also supply you with as many as you would ever need for teraforming.

[@quechl2508]

pearl tormenting gem by buying pickles definantly reminds me that she and grian have been longterm friends for YEARS. its very grian-ish of her. i couldnt be more amused teehee

[@lilmstreblegaming3687]

I love how you started a pickle tree “thing”. Now X is obsessed with pickles in trees and created a pickle farm for it. I think Ren likes them too. Poor Gem may have more people buying pickles than she ever thought.

[@Emile50]

I'd love to see tango build a desalination plant near the beach. It can have smoke coming out it to show it's working. There could be some calcite blocks coming out of it on the side, to symbolise the salt it's removing and there could be a pipe and pumping system that takes the water up to a tank near the house

For the postal box return, might it make sense to ask hermits to send extra empty shulker boxes without a stamp, so they end up at the postal office's lost mail desk and you can just pop them up the hill? It might get more hermits to return extra boxes if they don't have to run them over themselves. One of your employees of the redstone variety might even be able to hook up a sorter that checks if the boxes are empty or not, shooting the empty ones into a pipe that carries them back up into the restock area. Love the terraforming work, you're a massive inspiration! ♡

Cub placed his firework barrel outside the mail box because he has had quite some issues with sending stuff throught the mail system

theoretically you could add an automatic shulker return to the mail system, where hermits can just chuck their unwanted shulker boxes into a "trash chute" that would automatically send the shulkers out to the post office, which could then automatically unload them into the return chest(s)

One thin g to consider with the path if it is natural is erosion as it it is so close to the river. Water would be wanting to go from the high area down the path so maybe have a couple cuts along the side where the water eroded a path directly to the river

Freecam is a great tool, especially for getting views of a build from up in the air, or, in the case of a build I did a few years ago, finding one spawnable spot that had a frickin' zombie in it because I accidetally left a two-high, unlit spot behind some decorative stacks of wool.

What you could do if you don't have much use for P.O. boxes is do hold mail requests! Someone going on vacation for a week or something?
