Techno Blade: Journey to Become the Number One Potato Farmer in Skyblock

Introduction

  • Techno Blade has been farming potatoes in Skyblock.
  • Started months ago after acquiring superior armor and needing hot potato books for upgrades.

Initial Potato Farming Setup

  • Built an aggressive potato farming setup:
    • 20 potato minions
    • 20 enchanted lava buckets
    • 20 super compactors
    • 20 diamond spreaders
  • Generated approximately 240 million potatoes* per day.

Competitive Spirit

  • Initially ranked top 50 in potatoes, then aimed to become number one.
  • Minion slots complexity:
    • Spent time unlocking additional minion slots (20 million coins for the 22nd slot).
    • Minion efficiency: They work 24/7, allowing for passive resource collection.

Upgrade Challenges

  • Decided to upgrade potato minions to level 9 despite prohibitive costs (100,000 potatoes each).
  • Realized upgrading past level 7 may not yield significant returns.

The Opponent: Squid Kid

  • Discovered a strong competitor, "I’m a squid kid," who was ranked number one.
    • Created very high-level potato minions and produced over 310,000 potatoes per day.
    • Techno Blade was 7.5 million potatoes behind.

Strategy Development

  • Researched minion expander items, despite their initial perception of uselessness.
  • Built the "Potato Dome" to accommodate more minions.
  • This setup produced 337,000 potatoes per day.

Critical Analysis of Squid Kid’s Farm

  • Noted the flaw in Squid Kid's layout: minions were too close together, causing inefficiencies.
  • Exploited this weakness by afking on his island.

Fuel Sources for Maximizing Output

  • Investigated various temporary fuel sources, including hamster wheels.
    • Increased output to 450,000 potatoes per day using hamster wheels.
  • Later utilized the catalyst, a very effective fuel source, to reach 890,300 potatoes per day.
    • Discovered they could be crafted cheaply yet produced a significant output increase.

Ranks and Rivalry

  • Advanced to rank 3 in potatoes with strategic planning and upgrades.
  • Continued efforts to sabotage Squid Kid while boosting own farm productivity.
  • Discovered Squid Kid was still oblivious to his rapidly declining lead.

Final Showdown

  • When approached by Squid Kid, Techno Blade revealed his lead and critical flaws in his farm.
  • Confidently solidified his place at the top of the leaderboards with 23 minion slots.

Conclusion

  • Techno Blade achieved the title of number one potato farmer in Skyblock.
  • Final comedic moment: Another Jerry character making an appearance, hinting at underlying chaos.

Note: This narrative illustrates Techno Blade's evolution from a regular player to the top potato farmer through strategy, determination, and cunning.
