nice!

W!

Can't wait to see these results next episode. What an incredible farm!

I love this stuff! Especially the experimenting and minecraft science! Golem look awesome!

Don't know whether you saw my comment re: slabs in the last vid or figured it out yourself, but either way I'm glad to see all the awesome improvements to the design! Very cool farm.

I thought they were already on 1.21

They're on 1.20 with mods to add 1.21 blocks, but I hope they wait for 1.21.1, as 1.21 is quite buggy atm

I mean it sounds pretty crunchy on my ears but its not problematic at all. I still enjoy watching and just turning sound down a tiny bit reduces the crunchy. But that being said i have autism and am extremely sensitive to noises so most people definitely wont notice anything 😅

Also I have a fan running in my room and some occasional traffic noises. Any mild background noises in the video might just get lost with my own mild background noises.

You might not hear the noise because they put the audio through a bunch of postprocessing to remove it, but trust me, people with an ear for it can hear extremely minute changes -- whether it's from the original noise or from the postprocessing.

I absolutely heard the fan noise and was literally thinking "huh this clip sounds much better" when he started talking about it haha

Welp I guess I'm just deaf then idk lol

bend the strip of blocks back on itself so that the catalyst fresh blocks use to age up... is itself the fully aged tail about to be harvested. no slabs needed.

Another option to reduce noise is to change the fan speed curve. The default curves are usually overly aggressive.

@@gfgfufy0 he could undervolt the cpu too it will reduce the heat

Yup!

Nah Mate... They're called the "Copper Guardians" Now

when he showed the outlines, I was outside in the sunshine, so I thought they were going to be evil x

Turtle Moshpit ftw!

Imagine them with the turtle-suma texture pack

We have 0 losses :-)

With regards to the blast chamber you just need to do something that shifts the output blocks into a more compact form and then uses a single TNT blast chamber and the Block 36 mechanics caused by precisely timing the TNT and the piston pushing into the chamber such that the blocks are hit by the explosion while moving. That would let you break massive amounts of them with very little issue

It doesn't use block 36.

@@xisumavoid I think that @lainDoherty51 is talking about the issue you had at 13:05, where more blocks were being blown up than you expected. When blocks are moved by pistons they temporarily become "moving piston blocks", previously with block ID 36, so it's often called "Block 36". One quirk of it is that moving blocks have *no blast resistance*. Because your TNT was blowing up the blocks exactly when they were being pushed, the explosion was able to reach further! By delaying the explosion by one observer tick, the explosions went back to exploding one row of copper blocks, as expected.

​@@BBSplat I understand you're trying to be helpful, but you're also mansplaining to a guy who's been doing Redstone since day one

@@BBSplat Don't worry, that comment was useful to me! I knew moving blocks had no blast resistance, but I have not heard the name "Block 36" before. Interesting.

I don't but now i am curious!

A lot of the hotels I've been to had toasters down in their little dining area that worked by putting your bread on a conveyor belt into the side which slowly pulled it inside, then flipped it over and dropped it onto a lower belt to toast the other side before sending it back out to you.

oh neat, I had never heard of that before. ... to be honest, bit of a missed opportunity that it doesn't dip it in egg batter and make some lovely vanilla french toast

​​@@jonahcraven8669oh that sounds like the bun toaster we used when I worked at McDonald's...I wonder if this is more a European thing as I don't think I've seen this in the wild here in US

@@nmgg6928as a European, i’ve never heard of it haha.

Good good!

Yeah, before X had a certain muffle to his voice, but now we can hear him in all of his glory

He sounds great, very clear

Yeah I noticed that too. Sounds good!

I thought it was just me!

Maybe something like their eyes lighting up as you walk across that corridor thatd look really cool probably. or something with custom sounds...

Sounds a bit different to me

he’s using a different mic for this episode

@@cloudyysageyeah, sorry about that! i commented when i heard that he sounded different and didn’t get to the part explained the audio yet lol

Wach till the end X explains why😂 i had the same reaction, sound good though

@@cloudyysagei very much prefer the older setup. This one sounds just too… compressed, I think?

Though it occurs to me now that you have an insane copper farm, so you won't need to do that...

It's likely that X wants to optimise for how much lag hoppers cause. If the roughly 30 hermits all used hoppers that way it would cause a lot of server lag.

@@0xD15EA5E might be true, but also I don't think it's that big of a deal here to extend the rows by 3 or 4 blocks, as it wouldn't even be a stack of hoppers.

they’re going crazy today

crazy, these mans are bots

Is it a 4 block taxicab or a nine-by-nine area

​@@mehulpandya4761 4 block taxicab. You can easily test this yourself with a simple comparison, which to make it better start with a plane of copper blocks. Then pick 3 locations for comparison. For one, clear all other blocks in the 9 by 9 area. For one, clear all blocks within 4 blocks taxicab distance from it. And then for good measure, do the same with a 7 by 7 area (making 4 blocks within the 4 block taxicab distance). You will see the block with a 9 by 9 area clear, and the one with a 4 block taxicab distance clear oxidise together. The one with the 4 blocks within that taxicab distance are much slower.

I ran some numbers, and when the game selects a copper block it attempts to age, it calculates a percentage chance of the block to age based on the total number of un-waxed copper blocks and the number of higher oxidized un-waxed copper blocks it finds in a 4 block radius spherical area around it, as well as if that block is un-aged copper or partially aged copper. Layers: visible fully weathered copper blocks 1 layer below: 25 2 layers below: 38 3 layers below: 43 4 layers below: 44 If you've got fully weathered blocks both above and below, add the numbers together, for example 2 layers above and 2 layers below: 76 fully weathered blocks visible. Additionally, with a layer of copper blocks at the same weathered state as the given block, it can see a maximum of 40 blocks that are presumably the same weathered state on the same layer. So for that first block to advance in oxidation state, here are the percentage chances that it will age based on the number of layers surrounding a layer of copper to be aged. Layers of aged copper around: % chance of un-aged copper; % chance of partially aged copper 0 (just a sheet of copper): 0.04%; 0.06% 1 layer below: 11.64%; 15.52% 2 layers below: 18.28%; 24.37% 3 layers below: 20.58%; 24.37% 4 layers below: 21.02%; 28.03% 1 layer above and 1 layer below: 23.56%; 31.31% 2 layers above and 2 layers below: 32.48%; 43.31% 3 layers above and 3 layers below: 35.20%; 46.93% 4 layers above and 4 layers below: 35.70%; 47.60% Note: layers below can be layers to one side, or above. it all works out the same. So by going from 1 layer of copper blocks below to 2 layers below, you increased the chance for the first block to step up from unweathered to exposed from 11.64% to 18.28%, and by adding 2 layers above and 2 layers below it went up to 32.48%. That means that a block of unweathered copper with one layer of fully weathered copper below will succeed on aging (on average) on only 1 out of ~9 aging attempts. With 2 layers above and 2 layers below will succeed to age on 1 out of ~3 attempts. And these percentages are worse case, so they only get better as more blocks in the area age. Adding a 3rd layer will help even more, but a 4th layer, since it only adds at most 2 fully weathered blocks to the total amount of unwaxed copper, may not be worth the extra copper.
