As stated in previous comments the water is updating the hatches. I use ladders instead of hatches, and that works perfectly. The animals cant climb the ladders on their own - at least mine don't. If a lot of them gather under the ladder they can get pushed up them, but that hasn't happened to me yet. Thanks for the constant stream of great videos. Take care!

[@destroyinator29]

The trapdoors are in the open state when the sheep are unable to jump on them. When the water flows underneath the trapdoor, however, it causes a block update to all surronding blocks, and ever since fence gates were contrallable using redstone, all types of gates/doors close when updated and not powered by redstone.

[@Zisteau]

After watching DocM's latest vid, the end of this video makes more sense to me now.

[@Iv_john_vI]

need link to that video :) Cool times Z

[@1234567tg4]

Zisteau what you need to do about the hatches is put levers behind the block the hatch is on and turn it on. What is happening is a hatch's natural state is to be down, and water causes a block update to all blocks it touches. Because the hatch is unpowered and therefore, naturally down, the water reverts it to that state. But if you power the hatches, then their natural state is up and you can still open and close them manually, but the water will leave them up.

[@SubSecure]

That shearing was a disaster! I was shouting at the screen the whole video about the obvious floors with the design, like the sheep escaping, the fences not letting the water through so woo, was toting stuck... The list goes on and on, as does the humour. :)

[@Laurimun]

To make the hatches stay closed, give them a permanent redstone signal. If unpowered, open hatches (or doors) gets a blockupdate (In this case it's the water flowing under them), they will go to their original state. Another solution is to put signs under the hatches, to prevent water from flowing there. Hopw this helps :)

[@ghudner]

Another thing you might want to change: items will get stuck on the fence blocks surrounding the pens - water pushes it toward the edge and the fence's recessed hitbox allows it to leave the water stream.

[@smurfton94]

Very true. A thought that this has given me is that if Zisteau wanted them enough, he could create ice blocks in ice biomes, then piston them to his house...

[@Taddsworth]

I hope that you get it fixed either way you go about it. Great job with your video commentaries, they are very entertaining and I look forward to you posting more! :D

[@peppeciv]

Hatches are normally down when unpowered. Water flowing below the hatch causes a block update, so whatever you manually set the hatch will revert to the unpowered state (down) from the block update. You will need a lever or other power source on those hatches to hold them up. Looks like the sheep escaped from the lowered hatches.

[@Randonmess]

It's his own personal pack. He takes the mobs from different packs, and the base is the painterly pack. Currently, however, he's customizing everything. His current goal is the armor.

[@wallyj4]

22:07 madness? THIS IS ZISTEAU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Taddsworth]

Zisteau, the hatches that you find opening are not a result of multiplayer lag, but when a door or hatch that is unpowered is hit with a block update of any kind, whether it be water flow or blocks breaking or moving, it closes. I have come up with a solution to the problem, but it involves you removing the hatches to the sheep pens (you never have to go down there anyway), and adding in scaffolding above the pens that you can walk on and shear sheep without trouble.

[@KleinOfficial]

Zisteau, you are the most organised person on the tube. Congrats!

[@Xeroxias]

Zisteau, what's happening is that the water triggers an update for the latches, and they realize that they aren't powered so they close. The best solution would be to abolish the trapdoor system. Ladders should work, especially if you have to jump to use them. I really like this system you've got.

[@TJ1122334]

With how this system turned out, you should change it from the "Sheep Shearing Switch" to "Zisteau's Redundant system of Redundancy"

[@gunner23178]

And not be able to get out if he falls in. Sounds like a great plan.

[@twichnitr0]

Zisteau, when you can get Ice with SIlk touch again, under the water currents Put Ice. that way all your drops from the sheep will get to you Much faster. Hope this Helps if you have not already thought about it.

[@girrrrrrr2]

Zisteau, to remove the boats shut your water source off from the top, they should pop into the walls at the correct spot, then shoot the boats with an arrow to pop them out of the wall.

[@PityTheNoob1089]

Zisteau, the hatches work like a BUD switch when they're closed. When they have a block next to them when they're closed they go up if that block updates or is destroyed.

[@matthewatkins]

when the water flows there's a block update, and that causes them to open. If he removes the hatches it'll work perfectly.

[@TheMrAckman]

You sir have earned yourself a lifetime of colored wool.

[@cactosando]

The hatches are open! Ya gotta go destroy the mothership!

[@Neypho]

When ice is obtainable with silk touch in the new update, replace the floor if the water streams with ice so the wool is really fast

[@Monkeypuzzle]

Zisteau, it's not lag that's opening the hatches; they open (annoyingly) whenever there is a block update adjacent to them, including when an air block is replaced by flowing water.

[@LJ_NSCO]

Its the water updates opening the hatches.

[@Doerle86]

Hello Zisteau, i use similar sheep pens you use incl water :D For getting out of the sheep pen, i use a piston in the wall, facing me and a button in the block above. When you push the button, you`ve got enough time (1-2 sec) to hop on the extended piston out of the pen. Hope this helps. I watch your videos regularly :) Keep up the good work!

[@morphobia]

You talk to your animals the same way I do! Suddenly I don't feel so crazy anymore =D

[@Tfin]

With the assistance of the water, they will. Without the water they wouldn't climb on the hatches, either.

[@MrTrollAssassin]

I laugh because i know the consequence for pranking zisteau will be much enjoyable

[@13ryan886]

i had a couple friends that did a prank like team canadas but IRL. one had a paper hole punch that made animal shapes, he made thousands of little animal shapes and put them everywhere in my friends house. in books, drawers, the carpet, everywhere. he was finding them even ten years later.

[@loginoutskeep]

Yes! Two Zisteau videos in one day! best day ever....

[@xVoomertx]

Oh, and the reason the hatches are going down is because of the water touching them. For some reason it opens/closes when contacted with water.

[@TheBalausta]

Cool idea for wool collection! I don't think the sheep are escaping vie the hatches though - the presence of water effectively raises them by one block so they can simply jump out the door. Fence gates in the openings or making the pens deeper should fix it. Won't do anything about them glitching through the walls though - you need 2 block thick walls for that.

[@Rumu11]

it's madness 22:07. Madness? This is ARKAS.

[@DrekRok]

I think the water was somehow pushing the hatches down. He could probably take the hatches out and put gates in the glass walls.

[@ninjovich]

@Zisteau in case people hasn't spammed you with it yet, block updates next to hatches ( in this case the air -> water update) makes the hatches go down. Replace them with ladders maybe? And replace the fences with glass panes, preferably 1 block down, on the grass level. Glass panes got a much smaller collision mask :)

[@lkirk98]

the trapdoors opening/closing are due to the water updating the block. a simple fix is moving them back

[@MineCastCrew]

@mdgates100 the reason they close is actually a block update. the update cycle is for wheat but the chunk chooses random blocks to update

[@TheSnemul]

the water makes the hatches close and open.

[@falgo666]

Watching some Zisteau and not caring for the next UH Episode because Zisteau > UH.

[@Otto42]

Put redstone torches behind the blocks that the hatches are attached to. Then they will be forced to be up when you turn the water on or off.

[@jrass1501]

the hatches change position when the block updates so one way to fix it is lower the room by one block and then the water won't touch the hatch.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

stupid trapdoors, that's your problem! :P Nice video, thanks Z.

[@Jumamu]

Trapdoors respond to block updates, when water runs under them it updates the block

[@Lewh_]

The whole time i was saying to myself it was the water that opened the hatches.

[@xlubricatedmonkeyx]

the water causes a block update to make the hatches open. Just a helpful little tip. :)

[@GravedSanctuary]

Well, you can just break this hatches cause you don't need them anymore.

[@SeanHemenway]

The hatch problem came from a block update I think with the water and those sheep escaped through the hatches

[@fantyful]

Probably for rugs in his next "temporary house". :D

[@hungryblocko]

Etho's most hated block though, is netherrack. He has said it several times in his LP!!!

[@blastoise7788]

Just a heads up: The hatches opening is caused by a block update from the water flowing near it. This hatch issue has been around for a while and doesn't seem likely to be changed anytime soon.

[@BumRuler]

hey, the hatches are opening because the block updates. a switch at the top to constantly power them would prevent the opening and closing. thumbs so he may see.

[@KuraZie]

He doesn't technically have to now, he can use a stair and a sign to make current go up hill. Ice would make all of the items arrive faster mind you.

[@Mustaj_]

the trapdoors switch cause the water updates. its called a BUD switch(block update detector)

[@BlackJoe222]

The hatches open because they have a glitch and when you update them with a block or water beside them, they will change states.

[@JonathanRox69]

I believe the water flowing through is causing a block update, which unfortunately, makes hatches open.

[@sh_dragon]

Only thing is that if you would put a sign under the hatches, some wool might get cought there.

[@RsLuth]

Great vid, thanks. Good thing you changed the black and white pins, I think you created an infinite water source which wouldn't have pushed the wool :p

[@TPQ1980]

Always use signs for these water moving systems. Also, hatches are generally not properly implemented atm, so just use fence gates again, or possibly pistons.

[@Ceryuk]

The hatch moves when block updates,basicly the water is making it move :D .

[@MrScorpiony]

I don't know if u already know this because i didnt had the time to watch ur episodes lately, anyway YES the water does update the trapdoors, so u probably need to change that to ladders, and yes ladders have hit box so u most change the ladders in the tunnels, use signs like u said :) and another thing, put blocks instead the fences on the sheep cube's because wool can stuck on there, and last thing, the fence in top of the holes, you most change that too because sheep glitch and get top fence

[@luxfardo]

You squee, I squee, we all squee for Zisteau :D

[@Jahonay]

Came here to say exactly this, also he should switch the hatch doors with single ladders since sheep don't (to my knowledge) climb ladders. Also it would help if he put two fence posts over the holes in the pens instead of just one.

[@Own123onRS]

THE STEAK AND PORK CHOPS BURN IN THE FIRES....

[@Double07Point5]

the hatches are activated by the block updates of the water

[@Moros311]

They HAVE fixed the laggy Multi now, Zisteau! now to wait for the next update so the snapshot is full game.

[@MANTRAMASSA]

The water triggers the trapdoors

[@EffinChat]

If you replace the fences with iron bars, the sheered wool will not get stuck. :D Also, the hatches are no longer needed and will be a pain until you remove them.

[@BadKnightLv01]

Yay I just get home and log on and I get a new video. :D Great timing.

[@KuraZie]

hmm didn't know that. There are of course other ways to extend a stream on the same level but thanks for correcting me.

[@Mikrz]

If you haven't figured it out yet Zisteau, the water running under the trap doors act as a block update causing the trapdoors to "close" into the open position :(

[@ygoturtles]

i was raging at the end towards you not knowing what was going on... :)

[@SkyrimRules838]

your repeaters look like sowing machines

[@CadenKaden99]

the redstone is updating the hatches which makes them go down. You might wanna take the hatches away and the sheep are really out of the pens its not lagg

[@smurfton94]

Perhaps shearing, then turning the water on would be the best idea.

[@discocow555]

He is not going to change it. (rageface)

[@KuraZie]

yup know that now, someone beat you to the punch. of course there are ways to do it perfectly horizontal.

[@MrMazzony]

@Zisteau Trapdoors are opening from flowing waters blockupdates.

[@bailb12]

make it so the water pushes the sheep towards the back of each pen which will make it so the sheep will not be able to get out

[@inferno232]

Could the redstone be triggering the hatches? Also, the sheep everywhere causing chaos is just science in a nutshell.

[@contesul]

if you want to get rid of Etho's boats, i think you should try to cut the water for a few minutes, and then restore it.

[@DoomedLich]

Theeeeeees will save your system. Sadly your going to have to resort your sheep again XD.

[@Mason081995]

it's the water mesing up the hach's

[@seeminglybadguy]

Or he could just shut the waterfall down, wait until the boats reappear, and destroy them.

[@CathodeRayKobold]

An entire stack of pistons? I automated my entire sheep farm with just 2 pistons, could have used just one if I had made it an odd number of blocks wide in both directions.

[@Rangrok1k]

Careful with the flint+steel on the farm animals. The fire destroys items.

[@Lancer1140]

Water updated the trapdoors from below

[@jyrbian]

It's a block update. Kind of like pistons with block update being used as a bud switch.

[@GlitchdHitz]

The water when it flows underneath the hatches updates it... Hatches have a bug where they flip when a block is changed next to them.

[@TheChewyness]

@Zisteau When 1.3 comes out, you can use ice to move the wool without having to dig down. wwwwwww-wwwwwww sssssssssisssssssss W=Water -=Sign S=Stone I=Ice

[@Righ547]

Quit being impatient, some youtubers cannot release in 720 (Zisteau can though) but KZbin TAKES ITS DAMN TIME TO PROCESS

[@Righ547]

Looking at the huge amount of comments saying the same dang thing! I have some advice which I think is funny tbh, 1.3 as I'm sure you are aware brings back ice and ice allows perfectly horizontal item transport! Nice video though Zisteau

[@ocbwpx]

@Zisteau have you seen nebris's sheep farm? the way he does the boundary seems to help alot. it would help with your glitchy mobs.

[@nesjepoelie]

@Zisteau With the new update, you should put ice under the water, that makes it a lot faster

[@buncythefrog]

1.2, but that's not what I meant. 1.3 let you silk touch ice blocks -- simply item transfer with no y change.

[@Dierseus]

You know if you waited for silk touching ice you wouldn't have to go down so far to collect wool

[@MsPluto11]

you need to replace the fance with a solid block because the wool will get stock tn the side on the fances

[@uWuGODZz]

He could take the hatches out now. Couldn't he?

[@jaycezis]

man you gotta do something about those boats. have you tried looking underground for them? they are driving me crazy too =O
