This week, on Hermitcraft!
DECKED OUT 2 OPENS!

[@keithwiechart7744]

One thing I would like to note, Clank does not actually open more viewing windows. That was a purely Decked Out 1 feature. There is no particular hazard to more Clank aside from getting closer to maximum, but you really don’t want to hit the maximum. The only time where your level Clank matters instead of just the maximum is the levels with wardens, where each level exposes more calibrated skulk sensors, meaning Wardens can aggro from farther away, and at max clank, any noise made will aggro all wardens on the level.

[@TheHermitcraftRecap]

Huh. Guess I misremembered! My bad ~Sloy

[@NoNameEst1992]

But what about crank?

[@blumo0n032]

No, you are right; Evoker's windows open, allowing them to send Vex after the players. But the Warden part is also correct.

[@Th3Psych0hippy]

Max Clank allows the revealing of the Evokers on floors 1 and 2

[@keithwiechart7744]

@@blumo0n032 yes, it does reveal the Evokers that summon the Vex, but that only happens at max Clank. The feature where walls would come down to give the Ravagers more line of sight was purely a DO1 feature. In the first two levels, the only hazard of Clank is reaching maximum and having Vex chase you, but in 3 and 4, each level of Clank is dangerous, not just the maximum.

The number of Hermits struggling with the mechanisms around the game is enlightening for all with an interest in user experience design. From the entrance having vital things off to the side instead of in front of you (where the thing you do afterwards is) to how the shop works have all caused significant difficulties that just baffled Tango because of course he knows how it all works…

[@WhatIsMyPorpoise]

You know, I hadnt considered that. I can understand that it’s hard to focus on UX when you’re planning something on this scale though. Tango seems to come with a dnd mindset too: learn the rules, mess up a few times, but eventually get better that most of it feels natural.

[@stargatos]

I was thinking the exact same thing. Just because you design it a certain way doesn't mean it will be utilized in that way.

[@lastsonoftennessee9895]

Everyone's talking about how impressive Decked Out 2 is as an achievement of survival Minecraft--which it obviously is--but I think it's impressive simply as an achievement of game design. Tango could remake it in a different game engine, and it would still be an interesting and fun experience.

ive never watched hypno before but !!! those runs !!! so good

[@shawnholbrook7278]

the one where Tango was explaining stuff to us and kept losing track of the players! Also Doc... "cool" Oh, and all the compass tutorials! I didn't know how to use a compass until I watched all the hermits learning to use them.

[@erinasnow]

I guess Etho's armour run, the comments Tango and mrsTango were making were top notch. But there were so many brilliant ones

[@m1tthrawnuru0d06]

I am gonna break the rules and say Tango's 8 hour launch livestream (Vod available on TangoTek2) it was the best DO 2 run of them all.

[@TheRealWormbo]

Fully-oxidized copper being beneficial was already known before. (See CubicMetre's big copper oxidizing machine for an example.) It's just that you need a bunch of oxidized copper to make more oxidized copper, but at least cut slabs have the same effect as uncut blocks, so you can save some material.

[@whisperinwind87]

@@TheRealWormbo somehow I thought it was the other way around, so when ever I oxidized copper I would keep the copper five blocks away from any other copper block, and make sure to remove the oxidized blocks as soon as I could...

[@TheRealWormbo]

@@whisperinwind87 It's less oxidized copper that prevents copper from aging along, but if there is no less oxidized copper block around, any block at the same oxidization level slows things down, while having more oxidized copper blocks around is somewhat beneficial. Still, the fastest oxidization happens if no other copper blocks are around at all. If you keep your blocks 5 blocks apart, they have no effect on each other at all.

[@lygencore]

CubicMeter did make a good video on the topic (10 months ago at the time I write this comment) Yeah I know that TheRealWormbo already said that. But it’s actually good.

[@withinthesupernova_]

Finding out after googling that there's TFC artifact made me tear up. I know the True Hermit probably wouldn't have played, but man is it special to see TinFoilChef honored and commemorated.

[@pineappletyrant]

If you like decked out and you like board games, you might like the board game "Clank!" Not sure if Tango has mentioned it before but the premise is basically the same. You sneak into a dragons lair to search for artifacts, with deeper levels yeilding more valuable loot. As you play you build a bigger and better deck which helps you in your quest Edit: Tango has in fact mentioned before that some of the core mechanics are inspired by Clank!

[@ef1876]

I love the fact that three separate hermits (so far!) have turned their alcove into themselves entirely independently

nope the tweet by tango is not about jev exploring level 2, its about hypno reaching level 3 (guessing his video about it didnt make the cut off date for the recap). for reference every level of decked out has a name: level 1 is "the frozen crypt", level 2 is "the caves of carnage", level 3 is "the black mines", and level 4 is "the burning dark"

[@petalsemblance]

This was a super incredible recap! There was so much footage to cover but you guys did it in a wonderful fashion, giving the Hermits a lot of good summary and explaining the game to those who may be unfamiliar. There was so much footage so major kudos to you guys! Thanks for all that you do 😊💖

[@bendesroches]

"and a place to drop off the kids" Great line! 😂😂😂

[@Pizzl]

An idea for the hermits. They can create a pearl stasis chamber for remote queue. If hermits are done playing the game they can activate the chamber for the next person in line.

[@malpheus4299]

I don't know if this would work since you gotta pay a shard to actually enter and you need to press stuff to actually turn off the dungeon before leaving.

[@Pizzl]

@@malpheus4299my idea still stands. In 6:03 they have a visual queue on who's next. If a hermit is busy doing something else like gathering sand. They can put a stasis chamber to be still on line.

[@edwardscott3262]

No one but hermits have played it but it still outshines Minecraft Legends. 😂 Minecraft would be nuts not to incorporate a vanilla non game version into future Minecraft. They could strip out 99% of the Redstone except for one compass on the bottom level. Even add some simple new mobs to the game. Or they could just leave the current mobs in there and cut down on number. Everyone could get there easily enough following the compass to a single loadstone in the bottom level. It would be a super easy big update with something worth getting excited about and Tango has already done all the work for them. Well they'd have to pay Pearl and Bdubs and anyone else who helped but still a super easy update. Then just have Decked Out 2 spawn in a single cold biome of people's worlds.

awesome recap this week! made me make a watchlist of hermits whose decked out runs i want to see 👀

[@laartje24]

3:40 There are no viewing windows for the ravagers in this version of Decked out. The only results of max Clank are the evokers/vex being released and agro-net becoming active in later levels.

[@nonameno8065]

sorta, sorta, both ways. not the same viewing windows like DO1, but with DO2, the evokers certainly gain line-of-site of the player when clank is maxed. i think calling it a viewing window is fair but i get why somebody'd disagree
