Use the mail system to create a Mail Order Rocket business! Let Hermits send you a shulker with diamonds and a return stamp, and they recieve rockets back in the mail. Kinda like Sahara Prime!

[@tehNashty]

You threw off my groove! I thought this would be a great idea too. Could have Pearl do junk mail about it too. You could also use mail to auto replenish the shop! Doc is also concerned about the diamond economy. He plans on trading for materials he needs that he can't get easily...sand. If they allowed sand duping, he wouldn't have. What do you think?

[@adamlagerqvist8111]

@@tehNashty The problem with using diamonds is that they don't get consumed making it so that over time the amount of diamonds will increase and thus breaking the economy. Sand could actually be a better currency because you generally have to go out of your way to get sand and it also gets consumed over time not to mention that sand actually has use-value outside the economy.

@@AlexiusRedwood bro, "fun and interaction" isn't adding something to the server? what?

I feel like the rocket pricing should be as simple as possible. For a diamond, a hermit gets a chance to get either 1 rocket, a stack of rockets, a shulker box full of rockets, a rock named "it", a bunch of sugarcane and gunpowder, or a few explosive rockets as a cubfan cross promotion.

[@bensweetland8488]

[@hawks3109]

Iskall something to consider too is auto crafting both the rockets and the TNT. I'm sure you have considered that already, also it'd be nice if you could have a full auto refill system that piggy backed off of Tango and Etho's mail system. Mail your rockets to your shop and have it auto refill

[@ScenicFlyer4]

I would autocraft tnt but not rockets. It would take up more room. 1 gunpowder and 1 paper makes 3 rockets, so I think it's better to store them seperatly rather than autocraft them. Instead of 1 chest of gunpowder, and 1 of paper, it would be 3 chests of rockets. Actually if he wanted to autocraft rockets I think he would set that up in the shop whenever he makes it so all he has to do is drop off gunpowder and paper and it'll restock it.

[@hawks3109]

@ScenicFlyer4 this makes sense, maybe it could also be something like it has a shulkerbox packing and unloading piece so autocrafting fills a shulker -> shulker is then broken and put into a chest. Once that chest is full of shulkers all full of rockets, it disables autocrafting and then all the ingredients backfill into chests or something. That way he can immediately grab rockets instead of waiting on crafting yet it won't over craft them either

[@simpson6700]

auto crafting tnt doesn't really make sense, since you already need to manually farm the sand. you can craft 9 stacks with 2 clicks.

[@hawks3109]

@@simpson6700 while true, you can also just throw all the sand you mine in a chest and forget about it and pick up your tnt after. I also am thinking ahead of auto restocking shops. Why would I not autocraft tnt if I have some way to signal a shop is low and I can auto mail more tnt to the shop? Then have my system auto restock all while offline because other hermits are online loading my systems for me. I could just go get a crap ton of sand every 2 or 3 months

[@areannahvulpes4594]

Calcite is actually a lot more smoothly textured than the jarring light and dark of Diorite. I agree with you Iskall!

[@chappy988]

For the price of the Rockets you could also make a list/book of wanted items for use as currency instead of just diamonds; for example - 32 x oxidised copper blocks per stack, or 128 oak logs (2 x stacks) per stack of rockets. This makes it a more creative way than people just going and mining tons of diamonds and buying whatever they want and you yourself also get more out of it.

[@ixis01]

I just assumed the hermit permits were just a complicated way of tricking mumbo into making a profitable shop.

[@alphabowtie2778]

So when talking about the concept of items not having value, I think that it also creates the opportunity for people to maybe sell experiences rather than the item. For example, what if you did a cut grass game where instead of just selling the cut grass you had to like, collect as much cut grass in a box as possible before time ran out or make a cool redstone grass dispenser instead of just the chest full with diamonds. Obviously not everything is WORTH buying just to buy but if you make a shop like bdubs did for moss, you get a fun build, fun content, AND diamonds.

[@laurafrakinroslin]

People can also barter even if they can’t sell items

[@SamuBrownYT]

Bdubs moss shop was awesome. You didn't know what you were getting

[@Xenotric]

the problems with the shops are moot when you consider that this isn't an open market, its a market set up between 27 'friends' to meet non-existent demands. The whole shopping district stuff is basically entirely superfluous and only exists as a method of making entertaining content for people. As such how well it works at any given time depends entirely on how you all decide to play it and agree on the stuff you think would be fun for both yourselves and your viewers. It started as a way to promote new and unique builds and mixing the hermits together a bit more (what does hermit even mean anymore!) Has become season long stories and builds with stuff like sahara and the octagon, has become the igniting factor for wars and conflicts etc. Having some sort of specific goal for that aspect of the season is just a great way to add structure to an otherwise fairly structureless game and I for one enjoy the attempt! Waiting until people start selling bootleg items that are reskinned to look slightly off and for the server to split into the black marketeers and the police, probably under the neighbourhood and rendog because of course >

Starting with a higher price in shops is a good idea, because you can always lower the prices if you find they're too high but it's harder to raise prices if they're too low because nobody likes prices going up.

Iskall, move the campfires up and use soul campfires with a faster killing rate than regular campfires.

You should put soulcampfire instead of regular campfire they deal twice the damage so you get rid of the creepers faster and so they respawn faster

20:57 Giving my favourite hermit a few bucks is *not* a waste of money! I’ve been happily throwing money at Etho for, what? It’ll be 4 years come this Sep 11! It all adds up and is an easy way (if one can afford to do so) to quietly support in the background without any perks beyond cosmetic. Though Bdubs, another hermit I have quietly supported does occasionally do member-only streams or provide world downloads, I consider that a bonus, not an expectation. I’m just happy to be here. I don’t think you or the other hermits quite understand how much high quality entertainment we’ve enjoyed for years through the good times and a lot of the bad times and how much it’s helped. ❤

[@katiemiller8313]

Folx... this is why we learn the Pythagorean theorem in math! (I'm assuming the 128 blocks is spherical) Moving the campfires up by just 20 blocks would increase the surface level radius to ~64 blocks away. 64^2 + 108^2 =~ 128^2 It could even be moved higher but then make multiple side-by-side farms instead of one super-tall farm.

[@linuszarrouk2004]

Thats still not close enough for the other neighbours to passively load it

[@katiemiller8313]

@linuszarrouk2004 Even a 128-block radius is not much on the scale of Hermitcraft. I'm bad at judging distances, but I'd guess 128 blocks is only far enough to include iskall's closest neighbors, if that. I was mainly trying to show that a small change can make a reasonably large impact, even if it doesn't have as big of an impact as moving it entirely.

I would have the wandering trader sell compasses like that. Would make it actually useful. Then the compass would lead you to things like a mineshaft or a trail ruin or a rare biome.

[@1st1anarkissed]

Others woukd probably offer to trade for the permit instead of creating a second if the first holder can't put in the time. Or work as supplier for a cut of the profits.

[@niello5944]

People can still sell other things beside blocks, so if someone doesn't manage to get a good permit to sell they can still get a bit more creative. Maybe we''ll seemore creative service shops from hermits who don't usually go for those. Maybe if someone has a great idea they could request for permit specific to their service to show they're legitimate and trade for one of the block permits if they want. Maybe you can set the price somewhat high for buying rockets normally, and use the mail system to do a subscription model for the rockets that's less expensive.

[@nifegun]

I was expecting that mistake lol. I've done the same thing before myself. I actually just stopped doinf drop shafts all together on a lot of farms for this exact reason. I figured the mobs dying a little slower is probably a better tradeoff than nullifying the ones that spawn but then despawn and drop literally nothing. This also lead to an amazing discovery that people overlook. you can make you kill chamber be a single berry bush and its actually pretty fast plus it kills witches. witches can heal themselves and make themselves fireproof but a single berry bush and water keeping them moving kills them. I know that's not relevant to the creeper farm, but its pretty cool. it makes a single berry bush one of the best possible kill chambers for an early mob farm. which is nuts cause otherwise you need wither roses which are much harder to get

[@davidtauriainen9116]

And berries can be planted on mud which is slightly less than a full block so regular hoppers can pick up the drops. It's often my first mob farm blade unless berries aren't nearby.

Based on Cubfan's recent video of ore mining statistics, a stack of rockets is only 30 seconds worth of cave mining. It's very cheap and I think it's a great price.

[@Xigzagamer]

That Creeper farm kind of reminds me of the time I made a Warden farm, but was too lazy to move the portal up 1 block, so I modified it in such a way that the Wardens ended up coming back through the portal. This not only made the farm deadly and unusable, but I also had to fight 2 Wardens on the Nether Roof to repair the farm. That said it did lead to an amazing cat and mouse aerial battle where I kept trying to keep my distance while remaining in bow range, only to barely get out of sonic boom range before they fired.

[@emryspaperart]

i love the concept of the permits - as regards to the criticism that there's not enough items of value for how many hermits there are, i would counter that with the fact that not every hermit seems to enjoy having shops - so those guys could absolutely trade high intensity permits for low intensity or slow selling stuff, still take part in the wider project, while still letting the hermits who really enjoy the grind of a shop thrive with it.

Given that autocrafts are now a thing, you could hook up the drops from the creeper farm and the drops from a sugarcane farm into autocrafters and automatically produce fireworks. This could be further automated by having the hermits send shulkers with payment (say 2 diamonds per stack) and have it auto removed and replaced with rockets then sent off again.

You dont have to use diamonds as the currency for the shop. You can always sell the rockets in exchange for a specific material you want alot of this season if you have any in mind (lets say TNT or dispensers). A funny side effect of selling for something other than diamonds could also inflate the price of that other item if its also a shop item someone else has the permit for.
