[@EvesterBee]

I wish more redstone was described as ‘naughty’ and ‘spaghetti’ rather than all this tfloping and snorlacks. I think I’d actually understand it then!

[@imagine_big9398]

Spaghetti is widely used. It's even used in programming!

[@astriferous9193]

Tango said something on a recent stream that motivated me to give redstone another try. Thought I’d share for others that are also discouraged about it. He said redstone is the opposite to learning (most) programming languages. Programming languages are easy to get started with, but the difficulty ramps up quickly if you want to master them. Redstone is hard at the beginning because it’s full of special cases and weird interactions, but once you get past that barrier it’s a lot easier and you’re equipped to do basically anything you want.

Missed the oportunity to say "snorlax"

[@diggoran]

@@BlaxeFrost-X I assume that’s what OP was trying to say, but I’m more puzzled by what redstone component they were referencing. Maybe an XOR latch?

[@derdealornodeal9177]

Shoutout to Zed for adding proper subtitles. It’s a rare and heavily underappreciated thing to do. Probably not that expensive but it adds a lot to non-native speakers and ofc those who have issues hearing or understanding. Thank you for being this thoughtful.

You know, having your own stamp isn't a bad idea. This way you can be out visiting another Hermit, or on a shopping trip, and if you need some inventory space just drop what you've been gathering in a delivery back home.

Doc: Maniacally laughing as he charges sand for all the wood. Everyone with 50% earning and a glass permit: "This is an absolute win."

[@infinitenex8165]

Why sand though? I havent watched Doc yet.

[@aGoshDarnTravesty]

@@infinitenex8165 He didn't completely explain what he wants it for, but basically the group decided that they didn't want to use any exploits like duplicating sand for free (except for tnt dupers). So if anyone wants sand, they have to go gather it. Doc is all about automation and doesn't want to go shovel the desert, so he's outsourcing it.

[@infinitenex8165]

@@aGoshDarnTravesty ah, makes sense. Thanks

[@thunderblaze9997]

In addition, diamonds are less valuable to Doc because he always makes a Tunnel Bore machine and gets lots of diamonds. So sand, which takes a lot of time to mine a lot of, is more valuable to Doc because of the time it takes.

[@kaitlynfarley6745]

"you want to lick your own face?!" lol best time for Pearl to come back lol

[@edtuckerartist]

Butt he'd be licking the back of the stamp right?

[@RedWinterRoses]

Pink and yellow wool! Proof that the forces of chaos and randomness in the universe are on Zed's side. XD

[@notagoat281]

If you need more proof, if I did my math right, Zed has about a 1 in 64.7 (or roughly 1.5%) chance of succeeding at getting all 8 bookshelf pairs for enchanting, and he did it twice in like 3 attempts. Edit: no I did my math completely wrong, it's 1/3. I _knew_ that didn't sound right.

[@alexanderkonczal3908]

truly incredible. I really hope he finds some silly angle to use to sell it.

[@zipforth]

I'd love to see zed mail Ikea style Redstone traps to hermits and just ask them to build and use it on themselves

[@cciliebergjensen1669]

If Doc is planning on charging what I believe he is for that wood, then this deal will most definitely work in Zed's favor. Nice.

[@paradox...]

Came here to say that too 😆 No shoveling sand for Zed

[@wikiuser92]

Doc is trying to assemble a wood monopoly. And all the hermits are falling for it.

[@penguin_king2759]

I used to like doc but now I love watching him. This season is going to be the best one for him.

[@-FutureTaken-]

Zed is gonna be doing quite alot of jumping this season to smelt all that sand

[@lenzi1982]

its so fortunate that half of doc's deals are also hermits that want sand lol

[@Dorench]

Zedaph being excited about sending himself chicken, reminded me of the time, after a few adult beverages, I ordered myself a full English breakfast at 1am to be delivered roughly when I wanted to wake up. I obviously did not remember this and nearly cried with joy, still very much feeling the effects of the aforementioned beverages.

[@KirstyStear]

This is some next level behaviour and I hope drunk me remembers it next time.

[@smolbluegoblin]

Poor Tango is getting traumatized by your stone shovels, first by you using them in front of him on the last livestream, and now you're "stealing" shulkers from him and filling them with shovels 😂

[@TheThursty100]

The sound should get more exciting every time you hit in a row!

[@Van-dq4sw]

It's a shame the calibrated sculk sensor won't work with an enchanting table! That way you could have reset it automatically after a successful enchant! Either way, what an annoying enchanting table! And great job on the Doc deal!!

[@bleachbleachBLEACHER]

I feel like the Enchanter should also have a cooldown timer that retracts the bookshelves if you take too long choosing your enchants. So not only might you hit the naughty bookshelf, but even if you don't, you have maybe 30 seconds to look through your options before everything gets pulled back.

[@skztr]

Shop idea: Sneaky deals. Automated payment system where the price goes up if they are detected, but they need to go through an obstacle course (dodging tripwires, sculk sensors, and pufferfish) in order to get to the payment chest

[@Huntracony]

Possibly being able to hear where the randomizer stopped is a feature, not a bug. Adding a bit of skill to mostly luck games is always the best.

[@moonythesly]

I am here for the drip stone shop being a minigame. The chaos of it all!!!! Excellent episode, as always, Mr. Zedaph!

[@bobosaurus331]

He could also create a magma block shop underneath, as the floor of course

[@Moramany]

Little does Zed know, his deal with Doc’s gonna help his glassy endeavors

[@jrogey]

Maybe once the shopping district is up and thriving you can gamify a shopping trip. One idea I have seen tossed around on the Patreon server back when you were doing Zedvancements was to try and get as many vanilla advancements as possible while shopping. But if you changed that slightly to a versus with another hermit and a timer, you could try and rack up as many points as possible while simply shopping. One example would be picking up crying obsidian gives an advancement. If you extend it out just a bit, buying a totem of undying and then dying would also give an advancement. Also, getting your brand colors for wool is amazing and I love that that happened.

[@zachwillett5853]

You mentioned a gamified shopping trip, and I'm reminded of the old game show Super Market Sweep. The one where the final round was one team racing through a grocery trying to collect $X in supplies to win.

[@notagoat281]

For replayability (and just because a lot of the Hermits might've already picked up most of the achievements you can shop for), you could count purchases that would grant an achievement if you didn't already have it rather than the actual achievements.

[@LowPriceEdition]

I picture Zeds glass shop next Doc's shop with a pipe sending his smelted 'earnings' into his shop

[@Huntracony]

I always appreciate you showing the contraption-making step by step. All the steps are simple, I can see how they work, and they come together to make a complex thing that would otherwise feel overwhelming. But seeing you do it in steps makes me feel like I could do it too, which inspires me to do cool stuff myself.

[@dolphinjersey]

Pop-Down-Enchanting the minecraft Pop-Up-Pirate, love it! Simple idea but so fun.

[@Cluemily]

I SAW them setting up the randomiser for the permit distribution system in videos, and I'm just in awe at how perfectly distributed some of these permits are. Like someone gets a permit and it's the most fitting permit for them to get (like you and the wool). It's amazing. (Also, the enchantment setup reminds me of like... Buckaroo as a kid. It looks really fun!)

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

Ive said it on a few other videos but i absolutely LOVE the Hermit Permit idea... i hope it works out AND carries over to future seasons. Far too many times has a small handful of Hermits gone super hard right out of the gates at the start of the season and taken a massive selection of items "off the market" for others. Just a few taking all the good selling items with in the first week or 2 really screws the majority of the other Hermits out of being able to have a shop that actually coild make money. Now with this system everyone has a fairly equal chance at having something thats really worth while as well as a few things that are slightly more niche but still valuable. I felt so bad for Zedaph last season as the handful of items he ended up being able to sell, well, didnt sell at all.
