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.
