For everyone asking, the button you press to destroy all of the connected blocks is the ~ button which is beside the 1 key. Top left of keyboard. Usually under the escape button.

[@j10paul]

he almost has 1k hooray

[@0noSendai]

Because at 5:53 he jumps from clay sapplings to having clay in his crafting table without explaining how you get this clay, and from there on it happens more often that he suddenly already has something which he doesn't explain how he got it.

[@xxtrordinaryribbit5257]

@@0noSendai He doesn’t explain how to turn resin and acorns into a product with everything etc, as that would probably more than double the video length.

Was playing on a server my friends made that was on skyfactory 4, my 2 friends which knew the mod really well were blown away because thanks to this tutorial we have been progressing smoothly and nicely.

[@AlfredGG]

That's awesome! I've recently started working on how tos for other packs because of this one. I'm glad this could help!

[@chrystalic]

you can get the ardite and cobalt sapling very easy with the help of Tinkers Construct. 1. craft a stone pickaxe using tinkers construct (I used a stone pickaxe head, wooden tool rod and a stone binding) 2. get flint and obsidian polishing kits (one of each) 3. apply these kits to your pickaxe (flint first) by placing the kit and some flint in a tool station. This will give you a pickaxe that can break cobalt and ardite. 4. Go to the nether and mine ardite and cobalt ore 5. smelt it in your smeltery and pour the molten ore over purple slime saplings. (Dont put your ardite and cobalt together, you will get manyullyn)

[@underfale8742]

after many long hard hours. I FINNALY DID IT YAY!

[@gkuba1204]

You can put a faucet directly on the experience pylon to pour out on the sand. No need to make a second tank

[@MrToastyBuns]

When I first started this modpack I was stuck on dirt and stone saplings for like 3 hours til I finally gave up. Didnt know you could get to bone saplings in like 20 minutes xD I never even knew the crushing tub was a thing.. THANK YOU!! Edit: Linked this video in the modded server hub I play on (multiple modded servers) hopefully you get more recognition ^-^

[@AlfredGG]

Hey bud I appreciate that! I remember playing and how bad it felt in the beginning because the book didn't feel that helpful. I spent most of my time searching all of the recipes. I'm glad it helped!

[@dimitrije4359]

This is really helpful and the video it self was really well made

[@functionmaster1503]

So, you can easily get both the cobalt and ardite saplings. Use an obsidian sharpening kit on any tinkers pick to harvest the ore from the nether. Then you put them in the melter and poor them on the corresponding saplings.

[@AlfredGG]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and respond!

[@justinsanity501]

On the ardite and cobalt saplings, you can find these ores in the nether. You need a pickaxe that can mine at cobalt level, this can be done easily in tinkers construct using an obsidian pickaxe head to make a pickaxe. Then, you can use the ores you get to melt in smeltery and go from there to finish creating the saplings. Not too hard to get these early-ish game if you are willing to explore the nether just a bit.

[@Mr.Alastor659]

for this you deserve a milion subs

[@nddragoon]

great tutorial overall but the sapling setup with crates and itemducts is really inefficient. you should use a filing cabinet with a folder for each item. it takes up only one block to store all the different sapling drops and you can store over 2 billion of each item

[@aviFlashbacks]

btw you can empty crushing tubs by shift-right clicking them, although I dont remember if there had to be air underneath or not

For some reason many items such as the hopping bonsai and brown mud do not exist for me. Is there any reason why?

[@FlashKillerX]

Your tree setup is so much more efficient than mine...I was using ME servos, trash voids, hoppers, etc. I like your setup better it takes more space but it keeps all items and lets you grow more than 2 saplings

[@whatever7078]

An idea. You can get by with 1 clay bucket. You can achieve this by placing cobble stone in a wooden cauldron and quickly using the clay bucket with water. You can do this 6 times to get 6 obsidian to make 2 obsidian buckets in same design of a bucket. And a infinite water source with 20 leaves and saplings as you would in vanilla MC

[@AlfredGG]

In several of my playthroughs, I believe I used the obsidian buckets. I can't remember if it was this modpack exactly. Lol Having an infinite water source is pretty nice, especially early.
