If I'm a cowboy in NYC USA, those "." would be "," to me? ... and how do you guys then tell the difference between the end of a sentence and a numerical symbol, e.g., 5.000. Do you guys even date your stuff day, month, year, unlike here in Marlboro man country, that has the way more logical, month, day, year? 1/5/2022 e.g., is that the date most ppl's immune systems will be wiped out, or is it a date for mandate compliance for some federal workers? (may 1st, or january 5th!?) Both dates, no bueno, imo.

@@kingphillipy3625 Yeah, I need to label things I say as satire or sarcasm for the lilliputians amongst us, like you. I apologize.

[@jeffreyspinner9720]

@@kingphillipy3625 If you can take any statement that starts with self deprecation, e.g., "If I'm a cowboy in NYC USA" as not sarcasm/satire, that's not my problem. Interestingly, are you aware: An insult is insulting, only if, 1) It comes from someone you respect; 2) You _agree_ with the statement. I go further for myself, given the most important things I've learned have been from my enemies: I vet each statement made. If it's false, I ignore it; if it's true, I fix it. You'd be surprised how few flaws remain as you constantly fix things you are made aware of over a long time. You have to remember, unless you're 8 years old in grammar school, and you didn't learn what people say only has the impact you, yourself give it, again, not my issue. ...and not for nothing, how do ppl in the EU tell the difference between a full stop that's the end of a sentence instead of part of a numerical value, I assume only by context, but I was trying to verify that. The world is there to learn from, unless you are a Dunning-Kruger Effect sufferer, cause then, you can't, which would be sad, but at the same time because of being so "unskilled" you would think you were very smart (!) Until my military testing (99th percentile) and my grad school graduation, I could have been a sufferer too, but gladly, I have evidence from then on to the contrary. I promise, I won't send a bill for services rendered, though I could.

[@nevynagere3199]

I love this build. I've built 2, and working on a 3rd. The one thing that nags as I replay the video is the references to front and back. The feeding trough is clearly at the back. :-P

[@Onidown666]

Just got done. Three crashes later. The only thing you have to be careful of is making sure each piece is placed where it’s supposed to be rather than on the next thing over. Had to redo a portion due to being careless. Great video though!

[@captainfatdog]

Brilliant design man, very neat and functional. Is 5 owls the magic number to keep 2 gachas stocked up?

[@BinaryHe1ix]

Somewhere around there yes. I have 5-6 owls sitting on 1 gacha just for farming pellets, which I then transfer to my production gacha. The pellet gacha is usually full once every day and a half or so, and they don't use that many whenever I have them producing (I usually feed them around 600 electrical cables at a time and that barely makes a dent in their pellets).

[@AaronLongstaff]

Cheers Fatdog not sure about the magic number just the magic height 4 walls high and higher the Gachas will not pick up the pellets they drop

[@captainfatdog]

@@BinaryHe1ix Thanks for the info :)

[@captainfatdog]

@@AaronLongstaff Hmm, that's interesting.

[@codysprague7720]

Teachers game too says it takes 2 owls per gotcha for ideal results, any more is unnecessary. Still beautiful and that extra one owl doesn't hurt anything, if anything u could have the extra owl for a mount if u need to use this build as an outpost for base defence and utility. Have a kit in a box and take off on the extra owl, won't effect the efficiency. Idk just my 2 cents

[@MayaPatch]

This is brilliant and good looking too!

[@shatowgaming6610]

This build is great however the Gacha’s are so emotional that haveing them under that roof makes them sad about being enclosed. If you want to make full use of the farming mechanics I recommend doing this without having the roof over the gachas .. smash that like and notification button because this guy make some great build tutorials

[@shatowgaming6610]

Just a side note the owl perch can also be lowered and turned into an owl pen as having them enclosed does not mess with the farming mechanic of the gacha and will allow you to park owls that you intend to use at a later time

[@johnamos7082]

Nothing to do with being enclosed, you most likely have too many gachas next to eachother

[@veritas5561]

It has nothing to do with being enclosed

[@wolfieblack76]

It's not the enclosure that makes them sad. They become sad if you have 2 of the same gender next to each other.

Hi, great structure for Gacha creature, thank you for creativity.

[@ryancarrick81]

Great vid

[@Silverbeard01]

Hi Aaron, Ive watched most of your videos recently and love your channel. decided this week to try this build and had some feedback. In some parts of the video it was difficult for me to find my orientation when you cut to the next step in the build after the zoom out in closing of the previous step. Especially in the roof section which becomes the floor for the owls. So perhaps adding a few key anchor points to the build as orientation points would be very helpful. This way when you cut to the next step you could orientate the camera view with these key anchor points. Using front and back didnt work so well, as I incorporated this build into my existing base, so it as in reverse. Practically using the build had some issues, placing the owls into their parking bays was pretty tricky and I kept falling off the roof and almost dying and then I couldn't get back up to the roof. (I dont know how you "fly" and zoom out so much, (Im on official Xbox crossplay server) I always seem to be too far to place the higher pieces of the build and constantly try to line up my Argy to get me closer. I would recommend perhaps an extra ceilings behind the owls tails to your build or a row of catwalks with a ladder . That way when you finished parking the owl and jump off the saddle you dont fall to your death. The gatcha were also quite a tight fit, and I did struggle to get the second one in place (I dont have saddles on mine so had to rely on cryo throwing them and trying to whip them into place. What I did add to your idea was: a dino leash on the roof and place a small pack of Dilophosaurs to protect any wild dinos that spawn in unexpected. a bunch of snails set to wonder on the level of the Gacha's so they pick up the Achatina paste and are kept in place with the dino leash thats on the roof an extra feeding trough with berries for the snails added a raised dedi boxes (x2) 1 to the right and the other to the left of the ramp leading up behind the Gacha, so i can access them while centered behind the Gachas to throw stone bundles for them to pick up and eat. I really enjoyed doing this build and thank you for making these videos, Im probably going to do a small green house next and possibly the water pen. Keep up the great work man.

[@leviuchiha4497]

So I been using your your videos as a tutorial on solo to basically learn how to build. now I feel comfortable enough to move online. I was wondering if you knew any servers that allow you to kind of build a base in and have a big raid once everyone has created a base or something along those lines? it also would help if the Collision that allows you to snap into the ground and wall like structures that are already there in game through them.
