Hermitcraft IX 1054 A Change Has Begun...

[@Maelt_]

Calling it early. X is eating bonemeal to fit the skeleton theme, but overtime his skin is slowly gonna change to a warden version of his skin (because warden has open ripcages and those sorta things) Seems really well thought out, and i'm loving having the normal not roleplaying xisuma back!

9:35 it is using a lot of bonemeal to grow a single tree, simple fix to this issue is to replace those glass blocks with oak logs

[@xisumavoid]

Thanks for the tip!

[@volbla]

I found this out the hard way. With blocks on the side like that (unless it's logs or leaves), only "fancy oak" with branches and stuff can grow. There is a 1/12 chance to get a fancy oak, so a lot of bonemeal is wasted while waiting for that. On the other hand, if you only want straight oak trees you can place a block 8 blocks above the sapling and it'll prevent the fancy ones. These type of growth rules are different for every tree type, by the way 🙃

[@Maelt_]

@@xisumavoid You need to be aware that the bottom one activates the comparator if you replace it with a log, but the glass blocks above should be able to be change. Just a heads up

[@enoch4392]

simple fix to this issue: stop wasting bonemeal for food

[@grayire]

Another simple improvement is to replace the glass block leaf crushers with open fence gates. It will give you more saplings, so if you're running out that'll do the trick - especially if you do more than oak

With regards to the tree farm blast chamber: - Instead of converting the logs into a single block stream, just push them as the stack that they grow as. There is no need to separate the logs if you eventually push them back together again. - Blocks being pushed by pistons have no blast resistance, so you can blow up more logs more efficiently if you time the pistons with the tnt blast

[@MrJoeMaster13]

That’s a great idea 👍🏼

[@Nyord7]

Shouldn't you replace those glass blocks within the tree growing range with regular logs? should reduce the amount of bone meal used since saplings don't see logs as an obstruction to growing.

[@averagezing]

He can't replace the first pushers with wood because that would trigger the "tree detection", but the rest of it should be yes :)

[@camyblank]

@@averagezing luckily, the blocks directly next to the oak sapling do not affect its grow potential but yeah, the log pushers (except for the bottom one) should definitely be made out of logs/stems

[@tomozbot]

It would probably also be beneficial to make the leaf crushers out of fence gates to decrease the number of saplings getting stuck.

[@UsernameGeri]

Also the sticky pistons pushing the glass are in the way. Need a double extender for this.

[@Kenry26]

It's funny how you told us to check out Keralis' video on the raid farm. You quite literally raided him! :D

[@titaniadioxide6133]

For anyone that’s wondering like I was - the comparator output is from the dispenser having stuff in it! Dispensers can measure container fullness through a single solid block (like the log). If you wanted to use a repeater, you’d need a redstone torch under the log (not possible because of the dirt) or a powered repeater going into one of the sides of the log (all of which are occupied right now. The comparator reading the dispenser output is a really clever trick to minimize space needed!

[@yak4168]

its a trick as old as time with the tree farms.

[@highcommander2007]

I have to say I really enjoy it when minecrafters work on their own designs, even if in the end it comes out something similar to popular designs. It is the process itself that is so remarkable where little discoveries are made. Cool stuff.

[@sewykik5004]

if you want to stop saplings from flying out, replace the glass blocks in the leaf crushers with open fence gates!

[@Japuckle]

Im not sure why, but i really enjoy farms that rely on eachother. Like how this farm uses bonemeal from the mob farm, and you needed a slime farm to build it. I find it intresting to build all the farms you need until you have a consistent income of everything you need. I really like the fact that you dont just follow a tutorial, but you try and come up with new and innovative solutions, and explain how stuff works as you go. It really inspires me to built stuff in my own world, and i learn a lot about redstone and general game mechanics. Really appreciate the type of videos youve been making lately, keep it up, X! Edit: that turned into an essay really fast...

[@andrewjankowski528]

Gotta say X, i loved the troubleshooting in this episode. I spent countless hours tinkering with and troubleshooting cobble and tree farms connected to a blast chamber on a world a year or two ago, and the discussion you had about going through the process of creating the different parts of the tree farm were super insightful to me, definitely my favorite episode of the season so far!

[@carlamavares4236]

Eating the bonemeal has me so confused. I literally had to pause the episode and check if that’s a thing because he got in my head. I’m thinking Keralis had to have dared him but when he didn’t explain it at the end I was like… ok…. No further context… Okok

[@davidroddini1512]

5:21 "This my friends will be something I will chip away at in the background" followed by a 30 minute ad. Well I didn't think he was going to do it RIGHT NOW!

[@kasbakgaming]

If you need something with a little more blast resistance than a redstone torch for triggering a piston, try using a wall with an observer. When the block comes in contact with the wall, it's state changes to connect to it, which the observer detects and triggers the output. Also works with ice farms, since ice is transparent and won't trigger a redstone output with a torch.

[@qrafting]

It’s cool to see the whole inventing and tinkering process with redstone, because I really don’t understand its mechanics but I admire the amount of effort it takes

[@shahniJade92]

X, I liked the way you sort of simplified the explanation of the redstone in this video. I'm not usually the type of person to enjoy watching redstone, but this time I was intrigued.

[@Sylfa]

You can use observers to detect when a piston should redirect a piston feed tape, you just have to place the observer so it doesn't see the piston head at any time. The benefit is that they run faster, which might not be necessary with that particular design, but it'll be handy in some cases. Oh, and it won't work too well with copper blocks that can decide to age all of a sudden.

[@idkbruh173]

Finally, someone properly explaining how a tree farm works. Also the circular design of the slime farm looks amazing and unique.

[@nugenki]

6:35 clever to get signal from the dispenser!

[@grimmsalem]

for the blast chamber you can just make the wood and the tnt go lower. I belive the blast radius of TNT is 8 and you can post the logs down for 12 layers

[@alexanderlori7651]

If you explode a block while its moving it doesnt have any explosion resistance, which is why you should definitely time the tnt with the block pushing! Saw that in one of Rays videos

[@longhornboi16]

I really appreciated the specific breakdown of your redstone setup. It was very well worded and made it easier to understand how this stuff functions. Thank you.

[@anzerupnik1442]

About tree farm. I like the Tango's idea to make use of ancient debris as moveble and understructable block to make a channel for TNT in the middle of a tree. Also you can reduce blast resistance of a block by moving it during explosion.

[@calebwhiting8744]

Absolutely love X's old-school approach here explaining the basics of tree farm design.

[@petertracy776]

Another cool thing about Tweakeroo is that you can lock the freecam in place and move the player!

[@Geoff1928]

Xisuma, mob pathfinding targets the northwest block corner. With no better place to go they can end up congregating in a corner. This is also why bees seem to disappear (they fly northwest into unloaded chunks and then continue further away when that chunk gets loaded). Search Northwest for missing mobs, Ill bet you a Diamond block that Doc's Ghasts have flown off that way too ;)

[@kyleeames8229]

You can use commands to save copies of creative world builds that can break themselves. Also, powdered snow can be pushed by pistons, placed and collected by dispensers. I've seen illmango make some pretty nifty block transport systems using it.

[@averagezing]

Have you considered changing the tree farm into an Azalea farm, so the tree-growing part is fully automated? Then you could just keep chopping!

[@esperfox3310]

X, try to turn off your fog effect. Other hermits dont use it and fps looks ok so maybe its that

[@jepptheclairvoyantdwarf9498]

Hi X, you can push the blocks you blow up on the same tick(or two I'm not exactly sure) to make their blast resistance extremely low(block 36). This makes the collection system more reliable.

Solution to excess bonemeal usage. From watching other technical minecrafters, im pretty sure they use wood log pushers on the pistons not glass as that seems to help the tree decide to grow.

[@nicholasfuierer4537]

See I call bonemeal boneMEAT all the time. Seems as tho it fits the name perfectly.

[@russ4550]

15:48 you CAN actually use the observer piston setup to push blocks just by using the fact that facing a powered repeater into the side of another repeater will cut the signal, so just set that up and tweak the delays a little and it works. However it does seem just strictly more complicated than the torch method 😅

[@ThePongles]

Should add to the sapling overflow a 50/50 system that diverts half of them to a composter for slightly more bonemeal

[@jasonreed7522]

He could also just keep 1 barrel of saplings and filter out the sticks and send the rest to composting, it won't be much but it even a 1% recovery on 10,000 bonemeal is 100 bonemeal and that will add up the more he runs the farm. (He can also toss in other surplus organics into the composter, although sadly "rotten flesh" doesn't compost (atleast on bedrock)

Idea to flatten the trunk of the tree, if you push from the bottom and have a piston on the side at the top of the stack, you can insert sand that will then fall onto a stack of sand that can be pistoned back in to continue pushing the stack up

Isn't pushing the logs into a stream, then back into vertical walls kind of... pointless? I believe Tango's concrete maker works by pushing the columns directly into blast formation. Should work for logs if the blast resistance for concrete isn't too different to logs. Speaking of Tango, maybe turning off nether fog could help Xisuma's PC work in the Hub? I had no idea bonemeal was edible, it has the word "meal" so maybe I should have haha.

@@xisumavoid ohhh because the blast chamber can't be within 12 blocks of the growing tree. Makes sense. Perhaps another set of pistons to get it further away?

Put your blast chamber at the end of the block of logs. Less red stone, just time the TnT to go off at the 3rd block level gets most, time a second for the same should get the rest. Then have the farm start pushing again.
