[@RyanEglitis]

In the spirit of learning about bamboo, the sword is actually the correct tool to break bamboo. That's also probably why you're seeing extra durability loss on your axe. **Edit** As noted below, it's actually not causing extra damage to the axe, but it will cause 2 points of damage per break to a sword. The best solution is to just use a piston + slime blocks to insta-break them for free.

[@ruralkracken3000]

Seeing this by multiple hermits is disturbing.

[@Kunori]

Swords take huge durability from cutting bamboo too, I think they're pretty much the same.

[@mdccxxvii]

Sword breaks bamboo faster but it still takes 2 durability to break.

[@presentlee9403]

Shop idea: s 1. Set up auto crafter for crafting scaffoldings and let hermits have access to it. 2. Sell string and bamboo together in a bundle. 3. Make a sign that says "please do NOT temporarily put your bamboo and string to the auto crafter or they'll turn into scaffoldings, which i don't have permit for selling

[@Theachup]

This is really smart lol

[@flexu8699]

this is a cool idea, but autocrafters are pretty slow, you could make a couple stacks in the same time it takes an autocrafter to make 1

The Mosaic and Bamboo signs are clever, never thought to use them like that! ⭐ Thought: Get some Glow Ink from Joel & hit those signs, maybe skip a letter like the light bulb burned out, to boost the dystopian cyberpunk feel.

I don't think the shops are supposed to be cyberpunk, but at least the sign will be a little more visible.

[@jcofortco]

@@decomposedcorpse5186 Ahh guess I just assumed that part. 🙄

[@analogbunny]

Ooh... funny fact about cyberpunk; the most common settings are visually based on Hong Kong and Tokyo - both very hilly places. London and LA are also common settings, although they're far more flat. Point being; even if you flatten the area, it's still good to keep a mountain in the background. Hong Kong used to be far more hilly, but as they flattened it out they dumped the material into the harbour to make reclaimed land. When I used to live in HK they had just finished most of these projects, and they used to joke that Hong Kong "pushed their mountains into the sea so they could build on both". Anyway point being; if the theme is Cyberpunk, don't feel too pressured to keep it flat.

[@analogbunny]

Also also... the old Mtv animated series _Æon Flux_ was also a Cyberpunk city on a hill _and_ the city was surrounded by high walls. Obviously not everything needs to be inspired by something, but Cyberpunk dystopias are upkept with major policing networks and security projects. _Blade Runner_ and _Ghost in the Shell_ were focused on police, and _Akira_ and _Johnny Mnemonic_ were focused on criminals. Crime and law enforcement are weirdly central to Cyberpunk stories.

In your quest for a graffitti look, you can start with psquare patches of grey concrete with occasional strokes of random color peeking through. Like the city painted over it with grey paint, an ongoing battle between the forces of anarchy and control.

i’d love to see Bdubs have a nighttime arc, where he discovers his love for nighttime and its beautiful lighting. Bdubs then goes on a journey of mastering his nighttime lighting skills, and turning his builds into beautiful pieces of nocturnal art, he no longer is scared of the dark, and doesn’t need to carry a bed with him everywhere he goes. Bdubs has less stress in his life, is happier and we get to benefit from seeing his beautiful storytelling in a twilight sense instead of in the daytime >>>>

Can’t say it enough: the cinematic shots in this season’s videos are so attractive and creative. The fish floating in the foreground, the sun dipping to the horizon. Beautiful. 7:49

[@HaifaaAmni]

every time I see bdubs do something he cuts off like harvesting all that bamboo and building the wall, I get reminded of early season Ren and others spying on bdubs while he was levelling a mountain without a beacon or enchanted tools and one of them said "how does he get anything done in this series" because it took him so long. First of all, I get admiration towards bdubs for the amount of effort he puts in and how hardworking he is but also I think "how the heck does he get anything done without a beacon or enchants"

[@AlberthRodmen]

Bdus, if nobody has pointed out, I just want to let you know that your editing matches your building and detailing, is gourgeous. And your rasping/old voice is soothing, like when your grandpa is telling you a story

[@Looooooooofa]

With the way that wall is constructed, it is evident that it wasn't made to keep stuff out, it was made to keep stuff in! 😳

My thoughts exactly. Going for an _Escape from New York_ vibe.

Bdubs: Can I get the permit to sell scaffolding? Grian: Please hold.

[@Yrouel86]

14:30 and that what makes Bdubs a master builder, others would just put few bamboo here and there as decoration and maybe use string to cut the heights, bdubs curates each segment to decorate exactly as he wants

[@tomahawk3645]

By far the best looking shop in the shopping district

[@WesternCommie]

Bdubs always has some of the best building tips. Grian and Scar are great, but Bdubs always comes up with the best little tricks you'd never think of. That bamboo trick is much better than just having bamboo growing normally for a scenery.

[@trustnugget280]

Also he finds stuff nobody thinks of. Like bamboo as a plant has been in the game for a while now and it would surprise me if more than a handful of players even know about this trick.

[@nboon7094]

My thoughts exactly, Scar and Grian are phenomenal builders for sure, but Bdubs is just on another level entirely

[@eclipsewaves]

Scar is a great builder, but i think the biggest strength he has is in terraforming. Pearl is also particularly great in terraforming too, so I'd say she's on the same level as Scar. Grian's biggest building strength is in constructing megastructures as we've seen before (Season 6, 7 and 8 megabases and Sahara)

Create a competition to all hermits, the best wall grafitti/design wins

[@torbenmayer]

13:10 It doesn't, it just feels like much because you are using it often in a shot amount of time. Let's say you have a 20x20 patch of Bamboo (which is fairly small) that's already 400 uses (minus Unbreaking) on your axe. For woord this would be like 60-ish small oak trees, which would take a lot longer to chop. This is one of the reason why people often build flying machine farms. Not only is it afkable, but also better to collect with hopper minecarts (since walking is a pain between the one high stems) and it safes a lot of durability on tools.

[@AgentNemitzBuilding]

This build is so freaking good Bdubs! I love it so much!
