00:00I should be arrested. The popo should be coming for me right now. I'm literally the worst. I'm here
00:04I I was just looking at my shops and I have not stocked them
00:07They have been completely out of stock and I don't know
00:10For how long my hair blending in too much of this cobblestone. Is that distracting for you?
00:14This makes it look like i'm wearing a very large hat as you can see from my levels
00:17I've been at my gold farm for a little while and i've also spent the night at the iron farm. So hopefully
00:23Oh gosh, is this a small enough problem that it can be a future me problem? Yes
00:28Okay, this is excellent inventory management is my passion and we go into the mines
00:34That should do the trick for a little while
00:36It's not much but it's something and the reason it's not much is because I was actually targeting leather from bartering trades
00:44Now not only does this mean I can restock my item frame shop, but it also means I should be able to do a little
00:49bit more
00:50Armor stand action. We do not actually
00:54Have a huge amount though
00:56We just got tons of other stuff
00:58I won't complain about getting loads of quartz and gravel and things but I kind of wanted more leather with that being said three shulker
01:03Boxes worth of gravel for course that is extremely cool. Nice. Nice. Nice. Um, it's remember, please don't buy this stuff
01:10It's time to get to work on my bulbous creation. That is what i'm referring to this thing as the bulbous creation
01:15I think it is pretty fitting and I gotta say now that i'm back here
01:20It's been it's been a couple days since I was last over here
01:22I've spent the past week on some scottish winter mountains and being horrifically ill just horrendously ill coming back after some time away
01:30It still looks cool. It looks in proportion with the town. I think it fits in with all the surroundings and things. I like it a lot
01:37I'm excited to start getting the modules in so first things first
01:40We need to get a little bit of inspiration and to do that. I looked up a bunch of film stills featuring retro technology
01:45Or old machinery or sort of older science fiction stuff and there's lots of little gauges and dials and displays
01:54I really really like in this selection. So i'm going to be trying my best to draw from this
01:58So without further ado, let's get the ball rolling
02:00I'm going to ease myself into this with this bottom one, which I would say looks quite structural initially
02:05I was going to put it out of tuff
02:06But actually I think deep slate is probably the way to go
02:09I really like the way the bottom of the factory looks do I actually have any deep slate?
02:13I don't know if I do, you know, no
02:15Okay, that's very typical. I guess this is my life for the next little while. Oh, that's a nice bonus of the job, right?
02:20So i've started placing in some blocks and i've started placing in some basic pipes and things and I think this is a solid start
02:26It's only a tiny little module. It looks like something that is kind of holding up the rest of the machine
02:30So this small amount of detail I think is more than enough
02:33I think the one thing that I might add is just an extra pipe on this side just to make sure that the build isn't
02:39Completely two-dimensional at this point in time and I would say that has gone fairly smoothly, right?
02:44Let's move on to module number two except first. I really really need to wax some of this copper
02:49Oh my goodness. How have I not noticed that willies?
02:52Willies is fully oxidized. This is terrible. Gosh, that looks so much better and that looks infinitely better
02:58I'm, really not sure. I like that orange and red together
03:00I'm gonna decide later on if I can tolerate it now we move on to this module and
03:05oh, I kind of like the idea that this is like a
03:08a corner
03:10Screen type thing. Okay
03:13Okay, this is interesting now. We need to work out how to do the stuff
03:18in this gap and
03:20Honestly, I don't really know we don't have too much space to work with
03:23I want to get the impression across that there is some form of information being displayed
03:27I'm playing around with this idea, which of course we could animate with redstone. I think it looks pretty good
03:32I think once it's covered with some form of glass
03:35It will help it looks a little bit too high contrast right now. Definitely definitely definitely. Okay, let's get something on there
03:42I originally I was thinking green
03:46But I actually think
03:48I'm gonna try and and imagine hues here
03:52Not only are we going to try and do a sort of general dark to light gradient on this build
03:58but also I think go from
04:02Sort of cyan-y shadowy colors
04:06To then the more pastel-y colors towards the top with the saturation
04:11Peeking towards the middle as you can tell I feel incredibly confident about this plan. This is feeling like it looks incredibly cool
04:17Yes, I was right. Okay that fits right in for the time being
04:20I am just going to toggle some of these on eventually they will get redstoned up and that marks this part of the build
04:26All done and dusted. So let's move on to the next one
04:29In fact, let's move on to a few more and I think i'm going to do it in the form of a time lapse
04:33And progress is going remarkably
04:34Well, I managed to speed through this section and I think it's because this is probably the easiest section of the build
04:39You see if I imagine this build segmented into three different areas
04:43I would say the bottom section is the area dedicated to power
04:49so this is where a lot of the power for the build is coming from, you know, you've got like
04:54Electrical signals running into the base of the build. We've got vents
04:58we've got
05:00Pistons and things moving. This is where the actual energy for the build
05:05Is kind of coming in and then I would say the middle section is where a lot of the computing elements are going to be
05:11So that's going to be a little bit more complicated
05:13And I think some of those modules are going to have to be a little bit more detailed
05:16But that's where almost the brain of the operation is and of course
05:19We've got the screen in the center, which literally is the brain of the operation
05:24And then the final segment is going to be dedicated to I guess networking
05:28So there'll be sorts of antennas and little satellite dishes and things like that
05:32So let's take a look at what we've done and I gotta say I think it's really interesting
05:36How well this actually fits in with the town it almost feels like an extension of the town going upwards
05:43Which wasn't initially my plan, but i'm kind of on board with it
05:46I was really worried when I started building this thing that it would mess up the proportions of what we already had but actually
05:52Breaking up this mega build into a bunch of smaller builds has kept the feeling of correct scale for this area
06:00while
06:01Simultaneously adding like a big focal point up at the top. I think this is working quite well
06:06And i've done it by accident now. I really don't know what to do next
06:09You see here's the thing. I am super excited to build the rest of the module. So i'm in a very
06:14Module building mood and these modules are starting to be the most exciting ones because these are more of the computery ones
06:21I want to get like all the switches and all the different like electrical
06:26Electronic looking bits added in but simultaneously
06:29I'm kind of thinking that I want to do a little bit of redstone and actually try and work out how i'm going to
06:34Do the brain of this thing. So
06:37Yeah, I think i'm gonna pop into the redstone testing world quickly gosh the factory looks cool from up here, doesn't it?
06:41I'm gonna give myself a few hours and then we'll get back to building
06:44But I guess there are some major aesthetic considerations to make here
06:48Like what do I actually want the display to look like? Do I want it to be a face?
06:52Do I want it to have letters and numbers purely information being displayed?
06:56I was watching back this big ron's promo and
07:00I do absolutely love
07:01the little grumbot inspired robot screen
07:05I kind of feel like this might be the way to go. It's time to do a little bit of experimenting
07:09I've spent the best part of an hour working on the front of this thing
07:14It dawned on me how important it is that I actually get the look of this thing, correct and
07:20I think this is a solid start now
07:23If I just do some mock powerings of a lot of the lights and things
07:28These are the lights that will be on all the time
07:30And i've just realized this kind of gives it a vibe as if it's looking down
07:36I honestly i'm not sure
07:39I'm, not sure if that's good or bad. It's kind of got those eyeballs that sort of follow you wherever you walk
07:44All right. I'm playing with some ideas here. I had not initially imagined this
07:49but these are sort of looking like pupils and
07:54I think we can animate the pupils
07:57In a way that is really satisfying
07:59And it will give this thing a ton of life
08:02I guess this would be the sort of default state and then we could have it look down
08:06We could have it look from side to side. We could make it do eye rolls
08:10We could make it go cross-eyed. We could make it do all sorts of different things
08:15randomly
08:16at different intervals
08:17He could blink
08:19He could do some crazy ones like his eyes could roll over the top and then come back to the start that could be creepy
08:24I don't know
08:24You can tell how long i've been staring at this by the fact that a bunch of the bulbs are now starting to weather
08:30I really
08:31Should start making decisions here. Okay, here is the plan of action
08:35I'm, just going to see if I can do it
08:37And then we'll see how it feels like that. It's probably the best way to go, right?
08:42I'll see if I can actually make these eyeballs do interesting eyeball things and if I can
08:48Then we decide if we actually want it in the base
08:51So the first thing that I have to do is make sure that I can actually power all of these
08:58various different bulb positions and I should be able to use
09:03The blocks next to the bulbs to be able to toggle them on and off now
09:06I'm extremely curious if I can actually make these
09:11all fully independent of one another
09:15It could be quite difficult and i've just realized I probably want all of these to toggle on
09:21And then off again
09:23So on the rising edge the the lamps toggle on and then on the falling edge they toggle off
09:27So that means we need two pulses per pulse
09:30Which I think I could just do using regular pistons and that should do the trick. Oh my goodness
09:36This is potentially going to be a little bit more complicated than I was expecting
09:39I'm going to try my best to plan out all of the different eye positions. So side to side
09:46Up, I'd like cross-eyed
09:49I guess blink would be good and having written out that list
09:53I've split up the segments of the eye into various different chunks and we have got one
09:59two three four five six seven eight nine ten different segments
10:05That we can power or depower
10:07Well actually make that 11 because I need these two to be separate and I also need to be able to make sure
10:13That these two eyes can go directly next to one
10:17This is gonna be difficult
10:18So i'm thinking having the eyeballs do random things like having a random sequence of events with animations
10:25It's just going to prove to be way too difficult
10:27So instead i'm going to have a sequence that the eyes run in and i'm going to store that sequence using piston feed tapes
10:34So the first task is to create a decoder and I think
10:39This should be the final stage of that process. This means that every single one of these comparators
10:47Corresponds to a different segment
10:49Of our eye displays and they are all on a different y level
10:54So let's just quickly make sure that this is working if I flick this lever
10:58we
11:01Is it really only doing one light bulb
11:04Have I gone that granular with it as far as I know this should switch on the light bulb next to it
11:10yeah, okay it does and then
11:12We should have this one here and this one here
11:17Should be the other light bulbs around it. Okay
11:21Yeah, and then when I flick all of those off all of those should switch off again
11:27Nice i've tested all of the different segments and all of them seem to be working which is fantastic
11:31Now if you're wondering why they're all on different y levels is because our piston feed tape
11:36Oh, how do I explain this our piston feed tape is like a strip
11:39Of glass and blocks if there is glass then the bulbs are off if there are blocks
11:45Then the bulbs are on each layer
11:48of our piston feed tape
11:50Corresponds to a different segment of the eyes. For example, this top layer here corresponds to the top section of the eyeball
11:58This bottom one corresponds to the bottom one and then all the ones in between do all the ones in between now
12:03Our piston feed tape will be made of a bunch of these slices that cycle around in a circle
12:09And you have to think of each one of these slices as being like a frame of the animation
12:14So as each slice moves along we get a different assortment of glass and blocks
12:20Which means we get a different assortment of bulbs being on or off which hopefully should lead to some satisfying animations
12:27I don't know if i'm being overconfident, but I genuinely feel like that made sense
12:30So now we should be on the home straight and in plain sailing territory
12:34However, I have no clue how i'm going to power these pistons here
12:39without disrupting all of this
12:41Remember, I know you probably think I could put some redstone here, but no
12:45We need another one of these
12:47On this side directly next to this machine
12:50Which i've just realized isn't actually going to work because this block here would also power these pistons
12:56so
12:58This needs to be dropped down. Hopefully this doesn't break anything major. Okay, that's all fixed
13:04I've also done some extra jiggling around of the redstone and as far as I can tell
13:10I should now be able to run a redstone line up here
13:14Without it connecting to anything
13:18Yeah, that doesn't look like it will cause any issues and there's only one issue on this side, which I think
13:26Should now all be resolved
13:28So then this here is going to be the size of our piston feed tape and this is how many frames we're going to have
13:34For our animation cycle. We've got 12
13:3715
13:38Okay, so this is a 30 frame animation
13:41Now i'm also going to add an extra section to our piston feed tape, which is going to contain a single block
13:47And this is so we can tell what state it's in because I want to have a default off state
13:53Off state so if we switch the machine off it will go to the default state
13:57Which will be the pupils in the center just so it doesn't get stuck somewhere weird
14:01So that's all in place and all of the circuitry connecting up our banks of piston should be in place
14:06And now as you can see our piston feed tape is working
14:09So this block is gradually making its way around now
14:13It's time for the fairly dull and fairly painful task of programming in all of the animations
14:20This just involves repeatedly placing blocks inside of here in the correct place and hoping it does what I expect it to
14:27And I thought this would work well in the form of a time lapse and here you can see the absolute trial and errorness
14:32That is this part of the process
14:35I just gradually placing in blocks seeing which part of the eye lights up working out animations working out sequences
14:41And generally just forgetting what part of the sequence that you should be in
14:47yeah, it's
14:48There's nothing worse than when you skip along and then you forget what the eyes were meant to be doing
14:54But after a lot of playing about
14:56I have got a working sequence
14:59Now, is it the sequence that i'm going to stick with? Probably not
15:04But as a proof of concept it's working incredibly well. So let's take a closer look. Here we go
15:10Here it is
15:12I am very very much enjoying just sitting here watching this thing
15:17Like there's something incredibly satisfying about it, so it's currently looping through it's going to look down again
15:22And then we should get a little bit of side to side action as well
15:28I don't know. It just it feels like it has a lot of life
15:31I feel like
15:32This is worked out quite nicely and I think from a distance as well, especially
15:38there's something about this that is just
15:41Fun, it's just really really fun. Uh, there is one that I really don't like which is the blink here it is
15:47Dreadful, it's almost it's like demonic. I don't like that at all. But all of the eye movement stuff
15:53I think is perfect. I did not have this planned by the way. I did not have this planned for today
15:58I was
15:59I didn't have any idea of doing even a face and then it was just by chance that I ended up with some pupil looking things
16:06But I think this is really cool. So I think in terms of eye animations
16:10I'm, definitely going to have the look down look side to side i'm going to add in the cross-eyed animation
16:15I'm also going to then have the looking up and then I think having some form of silly one
16:20Like a full eye roll would be kind of fun, even though it could look horrific
16:25I'm, not sure so with all the logic worked out. Let's pop back onto the hermitcraft server
16:29I really really like this thing this strand this little rope that scar has created here has perfect shape
16:37It's like it's so well executed by the way
16:39I'm, almost 99.9% certain that scar has added an audacious number of big trees
16:46Like I swear this forest has tripled in size
16:49But i've been spending the past few days working on this area and looking over occasionally at this piece of rope here and i've been thinking
16:56bosh
16:57bosh
16:59Like how cool would it look?
17:01If this build was almost tied down it's like being held together by rope
17:06Would I be able to create such a perfect piece of engineering?
17:09I don't know. I honestly don't know but i'm i'm going to give it a whirl
17:13I'm, not entirely sure why but I just have mangrove in mind for this and i'm going to get things started
17:19over here
17:21How how how does one do this? How would it work? I guess so it starts from a point
17:28Of sort of slack-ish this definitely feels like one of those times
17:33Where having some form of camera account online would be incredibly useful
17:40I feel like i'm i'm missing the mark already
17:44Scar has added dangly bits and I think that has actually done a lot to hide the shape i'm getting close. Oh, no
17:50No, no, this is so bad
17:54What has happened to me i've created like how did I not notice that was happening?
17:58How did I not notice that this is potentially the worst thing i've ever constructed in my entire life
18:05I don't even know what to say and it's so annoying to remove
18:08This is something that I think we have done too early. I think
18:12This is a cool idea
18:14That currently doesn't fit in with the completion level of the bills. I've gone ahead of myself
18:19I've got a little bit too excited. I think i've placed something in it's like a final detail when in reality
18:25I should be working on some of these modules here. It is time for the copper module
18:29I don't know why I just always envisioned the one underneath the head being made of copper
18:34With that being said with this current color scheme. This guy's pretty bluey, right? Like if I add another blue module underneath
18:42That might be too much of one color and weirdly enough just as I was thinking about colors gem came over with a question
18:47What's your favorite color?
18:49Oh
18:50uh
18:51Don't panic. It's
18:53Oh my goodness
18:54No, i'm panicking now. You've put you I can't even think of a color
18:58I literally can't even think of a color think of a color mumbo. No, it's just like I um
19:03probably like uh
19:04cerulean blue
19:07Blue
19:08No, cerulean blue cerulean is very important. Yeah. Okay. It's very specific. Yeah. All right
19:15All right
19:16Is it is that is that all you need?
19:19Yeah, well
19:20I the research i'm asking everybody and so far three of you have all said
19:25blue
19:26A form of blue. Look gem. We need to be very clear here. Cerulean blue is very different blue
19:31I know. Yeah, I got it because we're just going for primary colors then it's probably it's going to be something different
19:37But wait, okay say a primary color
19:40Oh my goodness
19:41Oh my goodness
19:42Well, I guess like if we're not talking we're not talking like primary colors because then there's only three of them and that's
19:47That's a small number but we're talking like just no you can go to the secondary colors as well. Oh my goodness
19:54I've got a lot of options now. I I do like green like six options green
19:59Yeah
20:00i'm kind of like in green but look but this is the problem my brain is just because i'm surrounded by like
20:05Like my view is pure green at the minute. I feel like if i was facing any other direction
20:10It probably i'd probably say something different
20:12Well, that's sort of the research that i'm conducting right because I tried to guess based on looking at the hermit's base
20:17And for you, I guessed red and now my brain is completely frazzled and I don't even know what color I like anymore. I think
20:23red
20:24And then this will be white with blue in the middle
20:27Reddish tones here and this will be some kind of birchy color. I reckon this will be orangy
20:33This will be something else and then and then this will be
20:36Some other thing. Oh and these pipes running down the front. I think these should be copper
20:40So it'll be red with a little bit of copper white and then blue copperiness in here. Okay
20:46I have got that in and it looks very weird in contrast with this don't get me wrong
20:50But I do think this will work out once we get this screen in place
20:54Oh, i've just had a completely ridiculous idea, but I kind of like the idea of it
20:59I wonder
21:00If I create almost a heart shape down here
21:04What do I like? How would that look? Oh my goodness. That's a that's a ridiculous heart. Okay
21:09I I is it too much? I honestly don't know now. I just don't know
21:13Oh
21:15I do kind of like it
21:17I do kind of like it. I think with some extra details and bits and pieces kind of covering up
21:23A lot of the border and things and then getting the copper pipes in and then getting the background in
21:29I think this will actually work and if I still conclude that I don't like it by the next hermitcraft episode
21:34We can always remove it and change it out for something else
21:37I'm playing around with ideas for what goes behind the hearts and I kind of imagined honey
21:44because honey kind of looks like oil being pumped around and then
21:48Yeah, almost a system a bit like this
21:50So they'd be stacked up like that would have walls on each side like this and then lines of honey almost snaking around
21:57Does that look cool?
22:00I I kind of feel like it looks cool, but I don't know I think it is safe to say i'm absolutely flying by the seat
22:05Of my pants at this point in time. I am just placing blocks and freestyling and seeing what happens
22:10Goodness me skiz is having a rough time. Okay, i'm feeling pretty happy about where this is as like a base
22:17standard
22:18I'm, not sure how I feel about the tough
22:21I I kind of want a different type of block but then there's not really that many wall variants in the game
22:26And definitely not that many that would look good with red
22:29So I think the issue that i'm having is this thing is surrounded by tough
22:33Once all of the tough is removed
22:35Then it will look less toughy now
22:37It has crossed my mind that I could absolutely animate this heart and there is potential for me doing that
22:41But I think for the time being I just need to add some details to this build because right now
22:46It is looking very flat and very bland
22:48so I need to add some bits and pieces a bit like what i've got going on in the factory just
22:52Stuff i've almost completely lost track of how many copper blocks i've bought but I definitely think I'm owed another statue now
22:58How many was it? How many is it for the extra one copper golem five purchases exposed?
23:0415
23:06uh
23:08I mean maybe goodness gracious me these pipes
23:13These pipes cost me 18 diamonds. Is it worth it?
23:17Yeah, I mean they look cool as
23:19Like that's definitely worth it. My only criticism at this point in time is that it looks kind of dark back there
23:24So I wonder if I could place a few light blocks behind
23:28Our honey blocks. All right, let's think if we place one back here. I mean, I don't even know
23:34Will it even shine through I genuinely don't know it does seem to be that looks significantly better
23:39Although my honey blocks keep disappearing and reappearing i'm gradually adding in more and more details
23:44I've been adding some more wiring
23:46I'm, just trying to get some texture into this build and I think i'm almost done
23:52I've got a few extra bits of wiring to add in I just need a few extra grindstones
23:56And i'm feeling pretty happy about how this looks and feeling pretty happy in general
24:01About all of the extra bits and pieces i've added
24:04I think the one thing that I would like is a little bit more texture
24:09On these pipes here and to be honest when in doubt just add some trapdoors
24:12I think some copper trapdoors on these will look great. Okay, fine right now
24:16They look terrible, but eventually when they oxidize they'll look great. Okay
24:21We have got that. I am really really happy with everything that we've done in this area
24:25It has taken me a very long time. It has taken a lot of brain power and frankly i'm a little bit frazzled
24:31So it's time for me to spend the night with a ton of piglins that was grumbly smelly and generally unpleasant
24:36But I do now have 403 levels
24:40I don't know if i've ever had this many levels before. Oh my goodness
24:43And I almost immediately lost them. I was just about to jump off the edge when I remembered i'd taken off all my stuff
24:48I am incredibly curious
24:51How much I managed
24:56What
24:59What that seems so low
25:05That doesn't make any sense all these chests seem to be full
25:10Did I accidentally leave on the bartering section
25:14No, I didn't leave on the bartering section
25:16Genuinely might need to increase the price of gold because i'm too stupid to keep it stocked
