00:00Welcome back to Hermitcraft Season 10. In today's episode, we're going to be getting things started with potentially the coolest thing ever,
00:05and it's to do with the Surplus Megacorp Factory.
00:08For anyone who's seen my latest Redstone video, I'm sure you know what's about to arrive.
00:12This all starts with a YouTuber called Jake Kelton Crafts.
00:14He saw the fan that I built on the side of my Surplus Megacorp Factory and animated it using Redstone.
00:20And frankly, I could not have been more inspired.
00:24I watched it and immediately opened up a Redstone testing world and I built myself a bunch of fans.
00:28They make their way up in size from 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 7x7, and then this one right here is 9x9.
00:37That is the size of the fan that was on the side of my factory.
00:41Now, the reason that I did this is so that in the future, whenever I build something industrial,
00:45I now have a huge variety of different fans of different sizes and speeds to choose from.
00:50And this one right here is being constructed on the Hermitcraft server.
00:53So let's get the ball rolling.
00:55So first things first, I had to remove the static fan, which I have to say,
00:58looking at a static fan now feels really weird now that I've spent the past few days looking at a bunch of animated fans.
01:03It just looks like something's gone completely wrong.
01:05So I'm glad to see that gone.
01:06But I have to say, when I removed the static fan, it made me realize I don't actually have much space to work with.
01:10The kelp farm is right up against the build.
01:13So I'm incredibly glad that I actually made these things quite compact.
01:17You see, they're not too complicated.
01:19We've got a loop of observers going around.
01:22That's sending the pulse.
01:23We activate the pulse in two areas of the loop so that we get two pulses, one for each fan blade.
01:29And then from there, all we have to do is send redstone signals off of that initial loop to the various different trapdoors
01:36and sequence them so that the fan blades look good, which there is a little bit of an art to it.
01:41And there's also some creativity involved.
01:43For example, with this fan design, I really wanted it to look like the fan blades were sort of sweeping
01:50and there was some level of like motion blurriness going on.
01:53So they're not like direct straight fan blades.
01:56They've kind of got an edge and a swirl to them, which I personally really, really like.
02:00So this build is now all in place and you all know what I'm about to say, don't you?
02:04You all know what I'm about to say.
02:07This might be the coolest thing that I've ever built. Like, seriously.
02:11What on earth? This is ridiculous.
02:13I cannot wait. I cannot wait for Scar to come online and see this.
02:18He is going to be so excited.
02:19And frankly, this has got me excited. Like, this is a collision of worlds.
02:22I can't believe I never thought of doing this sort of thing.
02:25I'm enjoying building so much.
02:27But I also, I have a decent amount of redstone knowledge.
02:29Like, I could do more of this. What other building things could be animated using redstone?
02:35There's got to be loads of stuff. The only thing is, it's sitting a little bit low in the casing.
02:39So I think I'm going to add a few extra bits up at the top to sort of balance things out.
02:43And also, I think I'm going to do something about this.
02:47This is like the messiest, least thought-out part of the build.
02:51And I think we can do something better up at the top here.
02:53Listen. Listen to that glorious, glorious sound.
02:57My elytra just broke, so I'm having to walk to the shopping district.
02:59But again, I can't thank Jake Kelton Crafts for coming up with that idea enough.
03:04You are a legend. I will remember you forever.
03:06And of course, their fan video will be down in the description.
03:09Well, this is an interesting hazard.
03:11Yes. Okay. That is awesome.
03:14This is a very, very cool start.
03:15I really like these copper bits popping through the top of the fan and then coming out the top here.
03:21I think it looks great. It's a significant improvement over whatever this was.
03:24I think when I was building this, I was starting to get a little bit tired,
03:27and I was just kind of honking things down.
03:29So I'm going to try my best to do something a little bit better thought out in this area.
03:34And I would say we are potentially onto a winner here.
03:37We've got vents. We've got more vents, chains, wires, cables.
03:42I actually don't necessarily think it looks better from up close,
03:45but I do think it looks better from afar.
03:48Yes. Okay. Nice. Nice. Nice.
03:51I'm happy. I'm so happy with this.
03:53I want Scar to log in. I want Scar to log in so bad,
03:56but I know it's a crazy time for him.
03:57Absolutely chuffed to bits with this one.
03:59So now let's move on to my bulbous creation.
04:02My goal for this Hermitcraft episode is to get every single module in this build on the front side
04:08all fully completed apart from the face module,
04:11which reminds me, I've actually been doing some thinking about how this thing could function and work well,
04:15and I may need to spend a day or two refining some of the redstone to make this even better.
04:20But I guess that is besides the point.
04:21For the time being, I've got a module to build and you know what?
04:24I'm not even ashamed to admit it. It's gonna be a fan.
04:26I can't help it. Just prepare.
04:28Prepare for the fact that my builds are going to feature a large number of fans for the foreseeable future.
04:33Also, a few people in the previous Hermitcraft episode were mentioning that I am now using a chest monster
04:38instead of using my storage system.
04:40And while this is arguably the case,
04:42I have found with my building experience that this is the most efficient way of building.
04:48That was a terrible example because I couldn't find my terracotta.
04:50You have your storage system 95% of the time,
04:53but if you have a specific build that is going to require a bunch of specific blocks that you already know about,
04:59moving them into a chest monster close to the build is faster.
05:02The outer casing of our next module is in.
05:05It is yellow.
05:06I think I like it.
05:08So then our fan is going to go in this 5x5 hole.
05:11Ooh, it actually needs a tiny bit more space.
05:14Is there any way I can shave off the edge?
05:16With that being said, it's not actually that much poking out the side
05:19and I feel like with some smart building techniques, we could cover this up quite nicely.
05:23We'll work out what we can do once we get this build in place.
05:26Now, of course, to do this redstone contraption,
05:28because they're a bit strange and sequence-based,
05:31I am using Lightmatica.
05:32It just saves me a whole lot of pain and a whole lot of confusion.
05:35So I'm hoping all of the redstone for this thing should now all be in place
05:39so I can do all of the details and things.
05:41I don't think I need too much on the front of this.
05:44I think I'm just going to wrap a little bit of iron bar action.
05:48I kind of like the look of there being gaps.
05:51I think that looks really good.
05:52And then maybe just a couple of walls going up the front.
05:57This probably works out okay.
06:00Then a few of these little bits and maybe even some bamboo fences.
06:04Okay, let's flick this lever and see what happens.
06:08I can hear trapdoors, so that's good.
06:10Let's find out.
06:11Okay, we've got a single fan blade going around.
06:15Well, that is a good start.
06:18Why have we not got two?
06:19Oh, I actually hadn't connected up the bottom piston.
06:21Right, this should now all be good.
06:26Now we have two. That looks much faster.
06:29And this module should be all completed.
06:33Yes, okay, that is looking awesome.
06:35That little fan combined with this little piston as well is making the whole build look quite alive.
06:42And once we get the eyes moving around, I think that will do well.
06:47I also think this heart should be beating.
06:49But we will come on to that in a little bit.
06:50For now, it's time to move on to the next module.
06:53And by module, I mean modules,
06:54because I got a bit inspired to build a handful more of these,
06:57starting things off with the copper one because I knew that I wanted that color,
07:00but I had no idea what to put inside.
07:02So instead, I decided to build up this little orange structure off to the left while I was coming up with ideas.
07:07Looks kind of structural, kind of computery.
07:09I quite like it.
07:10And while I was doing that, I thought organic thoughts.
07:14A tree inside of a computer.
07:17Something about that is just awesome, is interesting.
07:20It's like a, I don't know.
07:21It seems like future technology.
07:23I love it.
07:23Then comes this little bricky module off to the left hand side,
07:26and I'm going to put something interesting in there.
07:28And yes, it is somewhat inspired by fans.
07:31But before I build that, I've got a bit of a situation.
07:34I have finally run out of my supply of rockets.
07:37I had like five shulker boxes worth,
07:38and I've just gradually worked my way through them.
07:40And it's made me realize I had no idea where the rocket shop is,
07:43but I believe it is somewhere up in the sky.
07:47It was built by Etho, and in typical Etho fashion,
07:50he hasn't provided any way to get up there.
07:52So you need rockets to be able to buy rockets.
07:55And I'm sure if I brought up this issue to Etho,
07:57he would just say it's a skill issue or something.
08:00And to be honest, I would agree.
08:01I've put a message into the Discord,
08:02and hopefully, hopefully somebody responds.
08:05Jevin, you absolute legend.
08:07He's dropped off 14 rockets.
08:09Hopefully this is enough.
08:09I still can't find the shop.
08:11Oh my goodness, my Elytra's almost run out.
08:13Seriously, where on earth is this thing?
08:16Jevin sent a screenshot of where it is,
08:17and I can't find it.
08:18I am so confused.
08:21This view is crazy though.
08:22Okay, I've analyzed the screenshot.
08:24I think it should be somewhere over here.
08:31No.
08:34What?
08:39What?
08:39It didn't exist for me.
08:41It didn't exist for me.
08:42I thought I was going crazy.
08:44It's because it's entirely made out of shulker boxes.
08:46For goodness sake, Etho.
08:49That means it disappears.
08:53As soon as you're far away from it,
08:54you can't actually see it.
08:55Oh my goodness, and I forgot to bring any diamonds with me.
08:58I'm the worst.
08:59Wait, has he built this out of shulker boxes
09:02because technically he doesn't have the permit
09:04for firework rockets?
09:05Because that is beyond hilarious.
09:07Look, it just disappears.
09:10That is ridiculous.
09:12Never change, Etho, never change.
09:14Right, my bulbous creation has got a few extra modules.
09:17I'm just working on this final one here,
09:19and I think I'm going to add
09:20some trapdoor animations to it.
09:21Also, by the way, check out this little custom tree
09:23that I've done.
09:24I really like this.
09:26Still can't get enough of this fan.
09:27Also still can't get enough of this fan either.
09:29So I've got a redstone clock that is currently running,
09:32and now I'm going to start placing in
09:34all of the observers facing downwards.
09:36They should power all of the blocks,
09:38which means that we will get a sort of wave
09:41of trapdoors closing around this loop.
09:45I really have no idea how this is going to look,
09:48but I have high hopes.
09:51As long as it looks like something interesting,
09:53which it does, then I'm happy, and I am happy.
09:57I think the only thing that I want to do
09:59is I think I'm going to flip what side the trapdoors are on
10:02because they're a little bit too prominent when they're off.
10:05I feel like if they're on the bottom side,
10:09then it will look a little bit better.
10:11This kind of looks really weird
10:13when you're sitting in the corner, doesn't it?
10:15You know what this has made me think, though?
10:17I think that maybe having that sort of thing
10:22happening behind the heart will look good
10:25because look how much that looks like a heartbeat.
10:28Does that not feel like the pulse of the build?
10:31That feels like a pulse,
10:32especially because of the way that the firing is sequenced.
10:36It feels like a pulsing heartbeat.
10:39So yeah, I think 100% that definitely needs to happen
10:42in this little squirrely bit back here,
10:45and I apologize to all of the Hermits
10:46for all of the redstone clocks
10:48that I'm gradually adding to my base.
10:49Okay, so I should be able to have a snake of observers
10:53just making its way around like this
10:56and then going up along like this.
10:59And what I'm kind of hoping is,
11:00so I've got it going down here and then up like this,
11:04and it should look like it connects up
11:05with the little piece over there.
11:07Hopefully I can get it
11:08so that the pulses are sequenced correctly.
11:11With that being said,
11:12this actually falls between chunk borders.
11:15Eventually it will get out of sequence,
11:17but regardless, I think it will still look cool.
11:19I've thought of a way for them not to get out of sync,
11:21which is to connect up this redstone clock
11:25that is doing this side up into these ones behind the heart.
11:29Surely this should work.
11:30I mean, there's not going to be any toggling issues
11:33that we would get with copper bulbs.
11:35So even if it does get out of sync,
11:37it should resynchronize itself and we should be all good.
11:40The sound of just constantly flapping trapdoors
11:43is going to become the chorus of my base.
11:45I have no idea how this looks from far away,
11:48but from up close, it does look pretty cool.
11:50I want to see it for the first time in daylight.
11:51I don't know why I'm nervous for this.
11:53Here goes.
11:55Okay.
11:57That looks really cool.
11:58It almost doesn't look like it's pulsing really
12:00because I think there's like a lot of things
12:03fighting with one another,
12:04but that doesn't mean it doesn't look interesting.
12:07It looks really cool.
12:09The only thing that's bothering me is of course
12:10this gap up at the top here.
12:12That looks sort of strange.
12:13So I think I need to connect that up,
12:14but it does actually,
12:16if you kind of watch this edge,
12:19it does feel like they are actually following on
12:22from one another, which is excellent.
12:23And I do think if we have another module,
12:25say somewhere up here,
12:26or potentially this one over here,
12:29also following that same pulsing,
12:32I think we will be onto a winner.
12:33Oh, I've also missed some trapdoors.
12:35Okay, I think that will also change things.
12:37There is something so unbelievably fun
12:39about animated Minecraft builds.
12:41This is something that I can really see myself
12:43getting into more often.
12:45Wow, for some reason that has made an enormous difference
12:47and has actually tied the entire thing together.
12:49Okay, really, really happy with that.
12:51And actually while we're on the topic of animated things,
12:53as you know, a few Hermitcraft episodes ago,
12:55I tried to make the little big Ron swapper
12:57and to be honest, it's gone Ron.
13:00Or should I say, Ron's gone.
13:02But a few of the comments and also Xisuma
13:05have told me that there is a way to animate armor stands.
13:09And now he's going to give me a private lesson.
13:11What's up with your hair, man?
13:13Oh, yeah, no, I'm just...
13:14Wait, hang on, hang on.
13:15You can't comment on my hair when you look like that.
13:18So if you want to step down past the map into this area,
13:24you will see some bizarreness here with the armor stands.
13:27This is incredible.
13:28This is so good.
13:30What I'm trying to do here is also learn armor stands
13:33and also introduce some statistics
13:35that are tracked across the season.
13:37I believe there's one over here that is you.
13:40Oh, there you go.
13:42Killed by Llama.
13:43But then for some reason it just says like everyone's zero.
13:47Oh, what?
13:48I know.
13:49But this one here, this one might interest you.
13:51Okay.
13:54Okay.
13:55So it is a proper like frame-by-frame animation.
13:58Yeah, unfortunately the rate,
14:00the speed of animation is rather slow.
14:03The concept here is that Zed is just throwing food back and forth.
14:08Yeah.
14:08No, no, I can see it.
14:09I can see it.
14:10But no, but that like for doing simple stuff,
14:12I guess throwing is probably actually one of the weirdly hardest things
14:16you could possibly do.
14:18Yeah, I didn't.
14:20Mumbo.
14:21It was so tricky.
14:23There are actually two different armor stands here being animated.
14:26Yeah, because you're kind of like linking up.
14:29Yeah, you've got more than one thing going on there.
14:31Whereas I guess like all I kind of want to do is like somebody waving
14:35or like something along those lines.
14:37I feel like that's probably...
14:39That's going to be easy.
14:40That's got to be easier, right?
14:41This is so weird.
14:43So this is like a redstone clock
14:45that is gradually reducing the signal strength.
14:51I'm loving this.
14:52Yeah.
14:53You're spot on so far.
14:55And then it's gradually increasing the amount of power.
14:59So it's gradually powering along this line of books.
15:02Okay.
15:03So yes, that makes a lot of sense.
15:04So I guess if I was to make an assumption as to how this works,
15:07then that each one of these books,
15:09which I'm not going to touch,
15:11correspond to a different frame of the animation.
15:14And then you're gradually powering along the redstone line.
15:18You totally got it.
15:19You totally got it.
15:20That hurt my brain a little bit.
15:21And so you've got the two.
15:22Okay.
15:23I see.
15:24I see.
15:24Yeah.
15:25So I picked this spot because we're not really near any other armor stands.
15:28Although I am.
15:28I'm a little bit worried actually.
15:31Surely we'll go to this one.
15:33Some of these are really intricate.
15:35Yeah, this is a lot of armor stands.
15:36You first want to stand near it.
15:38And on the very first page when you open the book,
15:40there's check target,
15:41which is kind of handy because it'll make it glow.
15:44Okay, check target.
15:46Okay.
15:46Yes.
15:47Yeah.
15:47So now you know you're going to interact with that one.
15:49You want to go to utilities.
15:51And then on there, there's copy.
15:53Yeah, you got it.
15:54You go ahead and place that in the second item frame here.
15:56Then we can just power them, right?
15:58So the redstone actually has to be in the item frame
16:00because I would have just assumed it could be,
16:02you can power the block,
16:03but that is actually,
16:04so that is slightly different.
16:06Wow.
16:06Yeah, I made that assumption too.
16:08Yeah.
16:09Okay.
16:11The position has to stay the same, right?
16:12Like you can't, you can't have them move around.
16:15I don't think so.
16:15No, no, no.
16:16No, because your golden carrot was moving.
16:20I saw it.
16:22Wait, the timing's perfect.
16:24That's great.
16:24We've already timed it perfectly.
16:30That's brilliant.
16:32We've already made a piece of art.
16:34Well, that was incredibly interesting.
16:35I feel awful about what I'm about to do.
16:38But it has to be done.
16:39I'm sorry, Ron.
16:40No, seriously, Mike.
16:52On earth was that?
17:02Why did that happen?
17:03I now feel even more awful about the situation.
17:06I didn't know that the impulse and scares
17:08had infused with Ron's spirit.
17:10Okay, let's get Ron back.
17:11Get installed out here
17:12and we'll give him a cool pose.
17:14Something like this is looking pretty cool
17:16once it's animated.
17:17I think once we get a little swing in there,
17:19it will make it clear that he's waving.
17:20Okay, so I have to copy
17:23and that should be number one.
17:25Then I just have to move his arm a little bit.
17:27Copy it on this one
17:29and that is book number two
17:31and then I move his arm a little bit more.
17:33Okay, so this is the sequence.
17:35So I've set up this really strange
17:37little redstone clock here
17:39and it looks really weird
17:40but it's because we go through the first pose
17:43and then we go through the second pose
17:45and then we go to the third pose
17:49and then we have to go back through the second pose
17:51before we go back to the first pose.
17:53There was definitely a nicer,
17:54neater way of doing this,
17:55but this is almost like a test.
17:58Do we have a waving Ron?
18:04Well, we kind of do
18:06but we only have two of the poses,
18:08but you know what?
18:08Actually, if all else fails,
18:11this isn't bad.
18:11I've decided to make my life easier
18:13and I've made a copy of the book
18:15so we don't have to do the back and forth.
18:16We now have four poses.
18:18It goes between the end
18:20and the start with the bit in the middle
18:22and hopefully that should mean
18:25that everything works properly.
18:28That was a terrible start.
18:29Right, everything should now be working properly.
18:32Do we have a properly waving Ron?
18:35That is the big question.
18:37He's...
18:39He's literally doing nothing.
18:43He's literally doing nothing.
18:44Are the books too far away?
18:45Do they need to be closer to him?
18:47This feels pretty close.
18:49I mean, how much closer can they be?
18:50I honestly don't know what the rules are
18:52for powering item frames.
18:54I don't know what sort of system they follow.
18:56Is this now working?
18:57There is zero movement.
18:58What on earth?
18:59I legitimately do not understand.
19:01Now, I think I've got something.
19:02Power this, first stage.
19:04Power this.
19:05That is the last stage.
19:07Power this.
19:08That is the middle stage.
19:10Quite possibly the worst piece of redstone
19:11I've ever done in my entire life.
19:13But I think it should...
19:16Are you...
19:18No.
19:21Why?
19:22What?
19:23The what?
19:24Is this like a pulse length problem?
19:26How is this still going wrong?
19:29Oh my goodness.
19:30That's it.
19:30I'm sleeping this one off.
19:31All right.
19:32I'm gonna have to chill out in bed for a little while.
19:34Wait, what?
19:38Why does it not work?
19:41Like, I'm happy.
19:42I'm happy, but I'm completely miffed.
19:44Why is...
19:48This is good.
19:49No, I'm really...
19:50I am happy.
19:50Like, we've achieved our goal.
19:52I just...
19:52Oh, it drives me round the bend
19:54when things aren't consistent.
19:56Like, why is this...
19:57I just went to bed.
19:58I just went to sleep and now Ron's waving.
20:00Look, I'm so happy that he's waving.
20:03I've spent way too long on this.
20:04And he looks great.
20:05He looks great.
20:06I kind of want to add like a little bit of a head tilt
20:08as he's waving, but honestly,
20:10right now,
20:12I don't want to touch anything.
20:13I'm just going to cover up this mess
20:16and move on.
20:17Ron,
20:18you're the best.
20:19I doubted you for a second there, buddy.
20:20But you know what?
20:21It's come together and you look
20:23absolutely adorable.
20:25So now let's get to work on adding more bits
20:27to my bulbous creation.
20:28And here's the deal.
20:29I was speaking to Scar recently about idea density
20:32when it comes to building
20:33and how that is my limiting factor.
20:35Say, for example,
20:36we've got the Surplus Megacorp Factory.
20:38That thing is absolutely enormous.
20:40But in terms of actual build ideas required,
20:44it's not that many.
20:45A lot of the build is just large walls.
20:48Just, you can hold down the right click button
20:50and you can make tons of progress.
20:52This build is the complete and utter opposite.
20:55Every single block I place,
20:56I have to think about
20:57and every element of the build
20:59is different by design
21:02from the previous part.
21:03So everything that I do,
21:05I need more ideas.
21:06And unfortunately,
21:08my poor little brain
21:10is a little bit overloaded.
21:12In short,
21:13I've kind of run out of ideas for modules.
21:15This thing looks outrageously cool.
21:17I love how animated everything is.
21:19It feels so alive,
21:20which is exactly what I'm going for this season.
21:23And these two additions are fantastic.
21:24I like the little hint of smoke that you can see
21:27and obviously,
21:27I will always be a fan of fans.
21:29But I spent two days,
21:31two days,
21:32trying to think of what I was going to do
21:34for these top ones.
21:36And I'm really struggling.
21:38Obviously, there's like the pulse stuff.
21:40Maybe I could come up with some networking bits,
21:42potentially some flickering lights and things.
21:44But honestly,
21:44I want to come up with something fresh and something new
21:47and something a little bit different.
21:48Not just for these three,
21:49but every other module
21:51that I have to do on the other three sides of this build.
21:53Oh my goodness,
21:54that's a lot of thoughts.
21:56So I thought instead of chucking some ideas in
21:58that I wasn't 100% happy with,
21:59I would open this up to millions of thoughts.
22:02You're all smart.
22:03I'd love to hear your ideas
22:04for what modules you think would look good on this build.
22:07Anything.
22:09Like gas canisters,
22:10water pumps,
22:12pressure chambers,
22:13block movers,
22:15chain shifters.
22:16I don't know.
22:17I'm not meant to be coming up with the ideas.
22:18You are.
22:19Gosh, this thing looks cool at night, doesn't it?
22:21Drop them down in the comment section.
22:22I'll be reading all of them
22:23and I will get straight back to building
22:25once my brain is full of things.
