Permits, Post & Gamified™ Enchanting!!! - Hermitcraft S10 #4

[@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.

[@zachwillett5853]

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.

[@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.

[@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.

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.

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.

[@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.

[@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!)

[@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.

[@moonythesly]

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

[@bobosaurus331]

[@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.
