OceanBlock Ep24 Island Cleanup

[@michaelnguyen3704]

You should add a glass window on the flat side of your island, that way you can see into/out of the rooms with the cobble gen, drawers

[@Powah101]

I love this part of every pack Dire plays, when he starts getting into auto crafting and spends half an episode saying "Wow I didn't teach you how to make... Blank, surely not!"

[@thelemonarts]

9:14 sets recipe to craft 64 glass at a time, doesn't save it, notices, sets the recipe to 64 at a time again, doesn't save it again, puts the unchanged 1 glass at a time recipe back in the crafter. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤣🤣

[@photic9855]

RIGHT?!?!?!

[@photic9855]

But when will he change it???..................NEVER hahaha and you know that in a couple episodes hes gonna be like "omg why dont I have glass?... ah I'll deal with it another time" and wont do it

[@The_True_one]

I think he MAY have noticed off camera. At the end you see crafting 64 glass at a time.

[@thelemonarts]

@@The_True_one ooooooh, yep, that does look like it's crafting too fast for it to still be a 1->1 recipe

[@tummie420]

Dire, you can (for your mystical agri farm) just entangle the sower. That way you can easily insert both the seeds and power into the block in stead of having to direwire everything in between the growth accelerators.

[@karsten69]

Could you entangle the bonzai hopper? that way, you could put growth accelerators under the entanglement and speed it up.

[@Shackd0619]

I've never been more proud of dire when it came to the look of this island very creative. I would have loved to watch your thought process on you putting the island together. Im sure a lot of us have been waiting for Dire to "make things pretty" lol Keep up the great work.

[@vmrenadi]

Dire, I actually really respect your build here, good choice of blocks and just the right amount of Terra forming to bridge the natural shape and the industrialization. Probably one of the most a esthetically pleasing things I've seen from you!

[@mikethemuffinman]

I think that the way you're building so far (haphazardly retrofitting builds into previous spaces) is producing some of the most interesting builds I've ever seen you make. Personally, I really like when bases are kinda cramped and messy looking, ESPECIALLY when the other option is a gigantic room with a couple tiny builds just kinda stuck in at the edges. If you keep going this way, retrofitting builds into locations and trying to fit everything into a small space, I think you'll end up with an overall interesting looking structure that can be spruced up with minor detailing (like occasionally making actual doorways) into something pretty special.

[@wjerame]

You guessed it, back for the things..and also the stuff.

[@FieryMeltman]

You can make covers for your refined storage cables by putting a block together with an iron nugget.

[@cloudypoof0413]

Wait really?? 0:

[@FieryMeltman]

@@cloudypoof0413 Yep. They can also be applied to importers, exporters, and external storage cables. It works for the vast majority of blocks, even chiseled ones.

[@LauchlinMacGregor]

Instead of stepping down which you decided against, why not build a bridge over to your warehouse and put in a second floor?

[@Ulfurond]

Love this idea

[@ScottCarroll2017]

The direwolf20 code only supports building basements, not 2nd floors 😂

[@a_ghost710]

Macaw's Bridges mod in this pack is actually really nice for this. They have a lot of options, I've been using them in my own playthrough.

[@jrams1224]

I actually really like the new design! I also like that the basement is in a smaller form factor and not everything is pushed back into a wall with glass on it like a museum.

[@matheusspable]

Yeah, the single colour palette all over the floor is looking really intricate and detailed. Might as well use the copy/paste gadget to copy a decent build from his Reddit... His tech (which is actually his focus) is also not on point... He's getting so sloppy with his builds lately..

[@hhaavvvvii]

@@matheusspable Most of his builds have been sloppy his entire MC career. He has fun with it though.

[@matheusspable]

@@hhaavvvvii nah, it has been better.

[@dtallornothing]

@Direwolf20 Add blocks that have like a red or green circuit pattern or solid red/green/blue of some sort and lace some lines into the island, it'll give that circuit / mechanical feel and look good with that block

[@IceMetalPunk]

Dire: *Hides a tangled mess of wires behind the tyrion blocks* "It's Dire-Wire free!" Me: *Whispers* "The Dire-Wire is coming from inside the walls!"

[@glennmayo2738]

Your base looks so good! You've come so far since I first started watching your videos I'm so proud. Practice makes perfect you've got this!

[@toddsefcik677]

Dire, you can feed the ‘mat’ side of the sluice into the interface and the sluice will not spawn the entities and allow the removal of the vacuum hopper.

[@BobbyRufener]

Dire! I am sure it has been mentioned, but you should exporter with a crafting card the Patters into your Pattern Grid, then you will never run out of patterns.

[@DizzyDJW]

Dire, you're gonna wanna filter that external storage on that latex tank, in the event you somehow manage to produce other liquids in the future and they end up importing into the system.

[@xn85d2]

Yeah I was just waiting for it to fill up with water from the Aqueous Accumulator.

[@a_ghost710]

Thanks for that tip about refined storage auto-crafting patterns/making them send full stacks at a time. Kind of seems broken, they should fix it so that if someone orders a batch over 64 items, it sends stacks instead of drip feeding machines like that.

[@InstrucTube]

It looks very organic-y, which in this case is good. It looks believable like you just covered an island in a tech layer and didn't bother to deform it too much first. Nice job!

[@The_True_one]

Looks great! I was skeptical at first, but the results speak for themselves. I like what you did with the elevators, I was thinking do basements and as you get deeper glass walls. With that sheer face you could add an entryway so you could have ready access to your out buildings. Yes plural, buildings; consider specialized dedicated island buildings around your central island. I believe if you put a liquid trash can on the lava production it shouldn't stop running.

[@Dizz1227]

If you want to look into automating gravel sand and dust look at the auto hammers, they don’t require power and are relatively fast

[@machadeon7743]

They can process compressed blocks at the same speed as regular blocks so they're actually extremely fast

[@xlett]

thank god for this episode, my eyes were hurting proud of you dire

[@kevinJust]

Awesome work Dire i like that you step out of your convert zone and made it how it is. i really like it :)

[@infiniti7773]

Hey Dire! Might really want to set up autohammers to do the cobble > dirt > sand > gravel > dust conversion. Also get some more sluices for every material! That way you'll have 100% passive resource gen.

[@JenInMinecraft]

Ohh, look at Dire getting all fancy with modern building! :) If I shaped the island like that, I'd use that flat wall (I was thinking the other side. heh) as a dark glass window into a mob farm, or maybe the pipes from the sluices going into the hillside for processing (and leave it open, with a border block on the interior - depth is key, too). It would at least break up the flatness a little bit., or maybe the pipes from the sluices going into the hillside for processing

[@matthewharrington9723]

The tech island looks great Dire. You're better at this stuff than you think. To continue the theme don't hide your cables and wires. Try to keep them parallel and straight-ish and any randomly placed tech looking detail will go a long way.

[@zanetano]

Island looking good. That flat face can have a map of the area on it. or an aquarium with fishies and kelp and coral and... too much? :P Whatever you do It will look great I'm sure. Dire getting better at artsy stuffs :)

[@ThePoxun]

It's always a good idea to max out the energy upgrades in any mekanism machine as soon as you put it down even if you aren't adding speed upgrades... not doing so is just a waste of power and will almost always bite you further down the line :)

[@stevesolaris]

Bless him, gotta give Dire props for effort. I imagine it was the same for Dire with arts and crafts in school. Always getting the 'participation' certificate, you know, the one that says ' sucked so bad but he tried'. x

[@joes1552]

you know what, I actually really love the way you did your island

[@BlackGunter]

The tyrion block looks just like the alien structures in Subnautica!! I wonder if that was somewhat unconscious on Dires part! I Love it!

[@lorenzosantangelo2026]

"Today's episode i may wanna start to work on the plant sower". 28 minutes of Exchanging and direwiring later the sower situation is still as it was in the beginning ^^

[@zeratul003]

You could use ethereal glass on that shear wall as a way to walk directly into that area so you don't always have to run up to the top to get in, it should match the blocks you made the island into well and be functional

[@InstrucTube]

Do it as Dark Ethereal and it'll be super sweet.

[@bndr208]

Cleaning up? Who are you and what did you do to our Dire?

[@science7gms]

Love the "New Island" design. Very nice. Great series.

[@aviasegel]

Dire, I must disagree. I think the island DOES look great, I DO like the sheer cliff, I think it adds variety and interest. Looking slick!

[@photic9855]

if is wasn't such a mess of different block types then I would fully agree BUT I still agree that it has a different feel to it :) EDIT: Just saw the new base all the Tyrian and I think its great!

[@Zachucks]

Island looks so much better now!

[@ThePoxun]

yeah. I think that wall needs something tho... maybe some windows or at least window-like features. Wouldn't need to be symmetrical just something to break up the flatness.

[@alexsgamesandmore6676]

I hate that I've been watching this for a week and a half and I've already caught up despite my best effort

[@robertpickel2447]

I have 2 tree fluid extractors going into the latex processor and the other 2 into a tank. Plenty of latex to craft with and a collection of plastic premade.

[@Kraleck]

Dire's problem, aside from being, well... Dire... is that he needs lots of Plastic at his current stage of automation. Backstuffing Latex like he's doing solves his Plastic problem and gives him a buffer for Latex crafting. If he had a bit more foresight with his automation, that would be an excellent idea.

[@jacobsierra4448]

Guys i think we made dire self conscious about his direwiring 😅 It looks great👍

[@EpicCraft1997]

didnt save the recipe for stacks of sand to glass

[@ADRMajestic12]

should have put all the machines and refined storage which are on top the hill into the side of the steep park, neatly arranged

[@PardusRain]

The dire is assimilating his island, I like that.

[@DoGAWESOMO]

So when are we gonna tell Dire to just turn his sluice around and it will direct feed into the interface?

[@martindinner3621]

We've been telling him since he upgraded to the Iron sluice.

[@LordMekenshi]

On that big flat wall, push all but the edges in one block, giving it some depth will help it look better

[@JDKempton]

Really like that tile pattern, need to use in my base. Exchanger time!

[@garrett6770]

I like the new island design a lot. The only different I would do is change the walls and maybe ceiling of the two basement levels to a different design or material. I think the wall face looks fine though.

[@tantamounted]

Instead of a flat, blank wall, why not add a door there? So if you need to get in/out of that room to see something on the lower level you can just walk through the wall.

[@Kaostico]

Borgdire: Resistance is futile Love the new look of the island!

[@Klinara]

Direwolf20:*Direwire free* 😬 Me: looks behind wall. 😮

[@JArbsy2]

Won’t the latex setup stop when it turns the log into the stripped version? Does it need a destructor/annihilation plane?

[@machadeon7743]

It will run at half speed until the stripped log breaks

[@generrosity]

YES bulk crafting! Woop 😆 love your vids dire 👌💚

[@BigbellyJ1502]

maybe have an open plan for the sheer wall? coupled with some steps to the various levels you have. Might save you some time instead of climbing all the way to your elevator? loving the series

[@thebossofbox]

it looks a million times better than it did before

[@tim.dedopulos]

Loving Dark Island. Looks cool.

[@Prossay]

You have a Techno style pyramid going on there, maybe for that sheer face you could maybe put an entrance there with some columns no each side

[@Closer2Zero]

I think the underground bid for the island should have a different color or texture of black so you can differentiate the levels. Kind of like how dirt is green and brown for the grass in the dirt, and then when you go underground it turns gray for the stone.

[@TAnkersly19937]

Hey Dire, why don't you connect your Island to the seafloor? Build a hollow base for it. Then you can slowly drain the water from inside of it and maybe set up a Passive Mob farm, to keep your foodstuffs up to snuff. 25:22 that's your size huh? Tiny rubbers.

[@ranid0072]

Mob grinding utils had an a jumbo tank, which craft from 4 singularity tank an can contain 1024 buck's of liquid.

[@austinkehoe6624]

I hope when you buildout your base you build down into the water and give us bioshock/rapture vibes with large windows just think thatd be the aesthetic for the pack

[@squidbluie6813]

I died when dire tried to configure the cobblestone XD 🤣

[@yourguysheppy]

Might be worth adding in a different variant of that tyrian material for floors and stuff, to give it a bit of contrast. Just an idea though

[@SonYugioh]

I'd take of the top most layer of the wall so it has a corner And put paintings or all the portals over there

[@snelson5871]

I cant wait till you get OP equipment and start exploring more.

[@crossbowhunter9118]

Dire you should use the caution blocks factory blocks around like we’re you have your machines it might look cool

[@4MEStudios]

Next episode is POWER! (cause this has just got to be a strain on the system)

[@donwald3436]

You paved spawn island, put up a parking lot. Joni Mitchell will remember this.

[@fulongfromthegrave]

Underground cave with a hole to park the Seamoth in! Who s with me?

[@thecrazyinsanity]

"A bunch of tiny dry rubbers" lol

[@MatijaMedved]

Great job Dire

[@poelmeister]

Does oceanblock have covers for cabling?

[@THEFurious1964]

Your Lava Production is inefficient. You're using a Magma Block instead of the Blue Magma Cube.

[@WhiteZombie7689]

Urananite. Doo doo~ da doodoo Also, nice Borg island.

[@Khronosian]

Leaving the existing terrain behind and throwing the machine blocks into the gaps feels very Borg assimilation-y

[@MrBiscuits201]

Considering that you're not really a "builder", i think the island looks kinda dope!! XD

[@ibrahimpekcan2863]

also you can built undersea structure with glass by rftools

[@IrishMarcus]

Just add windows to the flat wall. Will make a world of difference imo

[@Armetron]

you forgot to save the sand to glass crafting of 64 at a time, it is still 1 to 1

[@AnywhereOnMyOwn]

When can we get another Dyson Sphere Program Series?

[@overledevorias4443]

i'm sorry to ask here but i have a problem all my modpack from the ftb app are gone and i can't find them back i lost all my world everything so if anyone can help me plsss

[@Rag_Water_TV]

it looks good

[@steveknievel]

Chunks of Uraninite aka Gallstones 😂

[@Tntdruid]

Silly Dire there are a auto hammer ther use no energy in the pack 😂

[@dragonfireproductions790]

When is he gunna realize that he forgot to dump excess the electrolyzer? (I might be wrong here)

[@davey4731]

Still watching. Idk if you caught this dire but you didn’t actually change the glass pattern

[@slimmykun6482]

i do like the new look to the base but i am very much a function oriented builder as well. hide wires, it symmetrical and uniform. After that i am out lol.

[@TheChaotyk]

Sometimes I wonder if dire is new in modded minecraft world. Multiple times per ep sometimes.

[@renor3993]

Hello everyone Who found this comment. Thanks direwolf20 and have à good day

[@Geofft-lp5hf]

9x9. Which episode? Place tour bets now

[@sighmon5640]

dire you did not make glass into bulk crafting. you set both to 64, picked it up and put it back, and set them both back to 64, only to just pick it up again. you did not reset the pattern into bulk crafting

[@Solodam]

how about adding 1-2 more furnaces at the end of the line, before the interface? that way you are 101% sure that you will always have space that way you can speed up enricher and process uraninite at the same time, but without specifying filters :)

[@kawaiitarrot3611]

uh-kay-sha

[@matrix626]

Does Uraninite come from Uranus?

[@shaun1705]

imagine yourself a replicator slowing converting matter into nanobots.

[@blackgard3253]

neat

[@ewanjacksonmusic]

I hate that you haven't flattened off the island yet :D

[@ThePoxun]

I can live with the island not being flat as I understand what Direwolf means about maintaining the shape... what's driving me crazy is that he hasn't cleared out that mess of half veinmined interior so its a nice clean empty space and not just a jumble of random blocks every time he is outside the living space.

[@surgonan]

@@ThePoxun I think the reason he hasn't done that is because then that would make future building much harder. Removing all the stone would only create a massive space for water that he would have to clean up later if he ever wanted to build out further. Plus the sound of flowing water everywhere.
