HCraft Season 10 - Episode 21

welcome back to hcraft season 10 this is episode 21 now last night I woke up at like 3:00 in the morning and I couldn't get back to sleep my brain was just racing with ideas I was trying my best to think about how I'm going to do the inputs to my sorting system you see I've built an automatic item sort it's a multi- item sort it's really very cool I need an input for where the items go and I couldn't think of what I wanted to do I know that originally this building here was going to be farming storage but somebody suggested down in the comment section that the farming stuff should go down on the ground level and I totally agree with them so this is where the input to our sort it is going to be going and eventually Storage Wars popped into my head Storage Wars so I put it down in my notes app and just immediately fell asleep my brain was satisfied with that and switched itself off and now I've woken back up in the morning I've looked at my notes app storage walls is still there and I think that idea is hilarious the idea that I have a bunch of storage containers here all chocked filled with just random items and then one of the storage containers it actually the input to my storage system I think that's perfect so that's what I'm going to be working on today and the first thing that I've done is I've collected a handful of references some of them are color palette references some of them are like shape and form references and some of them are just a just general Vibe references I guess that's how I'd call it I think the main takeaways are I want them to be jumbly I want all of the builds to be quite notchy and I have lots of things hanging off them lots of wires and piping and things like that and I also want the past color palette so let's see what we can do let's see what we can build on the server okay the actual first thing that I'm going to do is work out a very very rough block palette okay I went from a very rough block palette to some very rushed ideas this looks terrible I'm aware that it looks terrible I'm now familiar with the building process I have to understand things look terrible before they look good what's important is certain ideas here are actually kind of cool so I've got references I've got block Panet I've got a rough plan let's get to work on building gosh it is interesting doing all of this next to hermitcraft season 6 builds though I remember this I just can't remember where it went wait is this Scar's garage door does it still work it it does okay now let's get to work on building it we have a little bit less space than I kind of expected but I still think we can make it work he might just have to jam it up a little bit closer to Willies let's have a look yeah all right so we're going to have storage containers kind of following the curve of this this mountain side here and I I really want it to be two layered so I think we're going to have a couple of storage containers up here I'm going to start by laying out the basic framework and getting the sort of gradient in I mean I don't even know if I would call it a gradient we do have a transition I guess from the darker wood type of Oak through to the kind of bone blocky beigy texture so in a way it is a gradient but it's not like a meaningful one it's not one that is is imitating light I genuinely think it might be faster for me to just to just actually gather up up the wood then look through all my chests yep almost definitely so we're going to start all the way over here I mean this just basically overlapping with Willies I feel like five blocks is about right for the width of a garage that seems like the correct width I think he needs to go one block further back otherwise we're going to be cutting way too much into this space here please ignore the direction of the wood this is just to get the framework in place oh but that does remind me I actually need to flip around some of these trap doors some of them are going the wrong way or at least I was told they were in the comments but I cannot see the ones that everyone is talking about there was like a handful of comments that said it but I can't see it where I aha yes yes I can see I can see why that would be that would be frustrating oh and actually while I'm over here I was reading through the comments and a lot of people were suggesting that I swap out the fence post for fence gates so that they look more like ladder rungs and I could not agree more that is genius I regret saying that though because I only seem to have two warped stems no I just threw my shovel into the lava oh why am I so bad at using my fingers I've been playing this game for like 12 years how am I still this clunky at it just a little bit of this and there we go our ladder is now looking 100 times better this is super good thank you to everyone that put that down in the comment section that is a legitimately good tip that looks awesome I've also fixed up the sign apologies that was a bit of a side mission wasn't it Okay so we've got our first storage container in place I'm on fire our second storage container is going to be made out of Birchwood which of course I do not have any of okay we have a bit of an interesting predicament here this build is actually quite big so I've had to push the other garage even further back than I kind of planned on doing but it's fine I think I mean this is still plenty of space to walk through so I don't think it's feeling cramped just yet and we kind of want it to feel cramped anyway we have also ended up with actually quite a large amount of space here it feels like there should be something originally I kind of thought of a car but I don't know if that fits in with this town I have to think for some reason the picnic bench is popping into M but that seems a bit odd so we have our bottom row of containers in place the start is really really cool now I think I'm going to add in the second row and having spent about 20 minutes just staring at it I think I am just going to start building and hope that something good comes out of that having no shovel is quite painful and nice I would say proportionally that actually fits in really nicely with the build it kind of matches up it transitions things well I'm really really happy with this all the different sizes and scales of the storage unit seem to work quite well together this one is significantly smaller than everything else but I think it works and then to round up the build I'm actually going to have a sign kind of wrapping around like this but that's a little ways off in the future so now we have to start work on all of the details and bits but first there's a little message from the big man big Ron oh gosh oh gosh this is not not good this is meant to be HD hey big run here uh I think you've made an error on my t-shirt printing it was called mustach high res since when have screenshots of jpegs not been good enough no I won't just call it retro I have integrity I would never do such a thing I expect a full refund okay what did you say I should call them again wait a minute on the topic of big runs what the snail infestation is gone do I still have a chopper oh thank goodness the snails are gone the snails are gone the diamonds are gone the diamonds aren't gone W this place feels a little bit sad now to be honest with you I am going to start work on all the Interiors for all of these builds very very soon obviously none of them are currently filled I'm going to start adding them in once I add in my storage system I just didn't want to start decorating until I knew what sort of storage system I was going to have but now it's worked out I should be able to do it and to be honest this is a very very cool base to work from I don't think I will change out too much I think I might just I kind of keep it fairly similar but I I do think I'm going to split this up into two separate floors anyway I'm getting ahead of myself let's work on the details and the first detail isn't really even a detail it's the doors the actual storage container doors and color-wise I'm thinking pinky red pinky red for both of these this one can be like an orangey color or maybe that one up there is an orangey color this one can be a slightly more Bluey color because it's far enough away from this and this one can maybe be green greeny yellow oh this is a beautiful sight I was going to do an end jump scare but there's no Ender there we go that's much better I kind of like what I'm doing here but I feel like the mangrove is just too contrasting with the Birch I actually feel like the mangrove will look better with this wood type and then maybe we go for the more greeny tones with the Birch yeah okay I would say this is considerably better so I'm going to swap these ones out I'm still not 100% certain on the actual garage door details just yet I think there's still plenty of work to be done here but for the time being I I'm just going to get them in place I think it's passing the longdistance check though by the way with this hermitcraft episode I am just this is me raw experimenting I'm going to kind of play out a lot of my decision making a little bit longer you can kind of feel my decision making happening as it happens this is something I used to do a lot more of in earlier hermitcraft Seasons things like hermitcraft season 6 and season 7 is I would just log onto the server for a day and just just crack on through a build sometimes I wouldn't even finish it and that was fine by the way people complained when they added bamboo wood and I for the life of me cannot understand why you would complain about such a thing firstly I actually think it looks really cool especially the planks but more importantly we now have an incredibly easily farmable bulk Wood resource so for things like crafting Hoppers and loads of chests it's like a game changer genuinely one of the best subtle updates to the game in ages you know because of the texture of the bamboo it kind of looks like one of those textured garage doors and I've tried my best to mimic sunlight kind of coming across like this I'm still not entirely sure what to make of the yellow and I also wish these fence posts didn't actually connect up to the edge there you might have to bear with me and have some faith that it will all work out on this one okay I think this should all be yellow and I'm going to remove the green but I still like the idea of the green so I think I'm going to put the Green in potentially another one maybe that one up there I've tried introducing some terra cotta but I actually think that texture matters quite a lot with these garage doors and the Terra Cotta although is probably the right luminum is just it's too smooth so it just it doesn't it stops looking like what I want it to look like now this green one is going to be interesting because I do not have quite so many tricks up my sleeve for how I'm going to break this up you see the great thing about working with wood is that you've got loads of different texture that you can add this very GRE it's very Green Oh but you know what it actually looks pretty cool already I think this is working now I've been messing around a little bit with all of the extra blocks that I'm adding obviously we've got the garage opening me mechanism I'm imagining that this is almost like a cable reel and this is how the garage doors open so we've got that on all of them but it was significantly harder to find a block that matched up with the bamboo but I think this does a good job because you can still you can see through it that really helps so you still get the green but then you've got the green of the copper as well and then where I couldn't add any extra detail on the actual garage door itself I thought I would still add some texture to the edges of the walls and I think that helps if we go and look back a lot of our film references you'll notice there is texture everywhere in fact anyone who spent any time on a film set will see how overdesigned every single thing is is because texture looks good it's funny people often talk about over detailing in Minecraft Builds and don't get me wrong certain builds can look very busy I myself am guilty of it but look at real life how often in real life do you get a full meter square of just the same texture undeviating like no difference in tone no difference in color nothing it's exactly the same how often do you get a full wall of that almost never so it's that that I'm trying my best to bring into Minecraft Builds and yeah I think I think this is kind of working I think this is doing something I think I'm going to leave the garage doors for now now that I've got all of them in place I've done the copper one I've got a little greeny one over there and then I've got another Mangrove one up here which is pretty much entirely open that is surprising I don't think of Dockers being able to die yeah now that all of the garage doors are in a partially done State I think I'm going to add in all of the extra elements to the build the staircase and the walkway now I'm trying my best to build up one of those industrial style staircases and the thing that I'm really struggling with is the way to do the shadow because it makes sense that it would be darker underneath the stairs so I've got things like deep slate oh I I don't know I don't know if it's working now I remember the tough blocks exist and these are perfect they literally look like Shadows of the the block above so that's gone incredibly well now I need to do a railing going around and I think iron bars is probably the way to go I never really like the Zed fighting on iron bars but I don't think there's any way to get around it now one thing that I do love is once again tough blocks striking look at that so we've got stone bricks here and then tough blocks underneath it's a really really subtle change but once again it just gives the impression that we've got a little dark spot under here and I've also got them over here this one's a little bit more extreme but I still think it works the alternative is to go for the andite and I mean does that see no I don't think that works quite as well I think the bluish U of the tough just imply Shadow a little bit more so now I've run around the top and I've just splashed a whole bunch of various different types of stone up here to kind of emulate the walkway this is definitely a challenge this this is hard and it's kind of the first Big Slab of gray that I've had in this entire area so I'm a little bit concerned that it's not going to look good but alternatively I can't really think of a different or Better Block for it to be and to be honest with you it's actually not really that noticeable I'm actually a bit of a fan again I think there's still a lot of work to do but I think on this level especially it actually works really really well so now let's move on to the sign and I'm I'm not going to lie I'm really really happy with this I was playing around with it for a few minutes just when I was running out of ideas of how to do the walkway and I how cool is that I think I've just gotten really really lucky with the letters that I've chosen or at least the word storage I should say in that they just they all fit within this this size so each of these letters is 2x two with the trap doors on the top because the E is the only one that requires trap doors on the top so I thought I'd add it on all of them so that it matches up height Wise It's very easily legible it's kind of quite a cool font as well I would say the only ugly letter is the T I don't think that's necessarily that pretty if we had vertical slabs then it would be much better but for now we have to just make do with trap doors there is the option to remove one of the stairs and just have a slab but I think it just looks a bit odd I think this is the only way to do it anyway teer side storage looks great this is going to be a sign across the entire thing and then I think I'm going to put a little arrow underneath because coming back to the hermitcraft server there's just a big gap here and I think if that's filled in I think we could be onto a winner now I want it known that this is going to take me a long time to get right okay there is going to be long periods where this sign looks completely pants like terrible I'm aware of it I've now made you aware of it we're all we all know what's about to happen here okay but just bear with me so the first thing I wanted to do is I wanted to create the framework that the sign is going to be sitting on and it looks it looks kind of messy right now but also it looks like it has promise I think I I think we're going to have something here but I I do have a bit of a butt and that is I actually think that the letters that I've created are too small they're too small for the build and I almost think something like this might be better but then I could use the Cherry ones that almost looks like it has a light behind it that's kind of cool that's kind of cool right it's almost like is made of light bulbs which is kind of the vibe that we want and this does that so here's how I'm going to integrate the cherry blossom I think I'm going to leave certain parts of the framework behind this so that it does look attached to things but wherever I don't have framework I'll then put the trap doors back there now something else that I'm going to play around with is variation in letter sizes and letter spacing remember this is a storage container yard so it's meant to look it's it's not meant to look like it's prim and proper and perfect but equally I don't want it to look utterly rubbish that's kind of cool I think this is actually potentially working the only issue is the area behind the sign is quite busy there's a lot going on H I wonder I wonder what we can do about that I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to change the word from Storage to just store with an arrow that will help maybe I could I could come up with a company name like keep Co that kind of sounds quite cool and it does it looks pretty cool as well I mean this sign this sign is nice I think it fits in well I'm also experimenting with putting Birch trap doors behind and they kind of look like really bright light bulbs I am a fan but I am struggling quite heavily uh this build has taken me an entire day uh and I I'm not really feeling like we're getting anywhere with it I was just about to go to bed but then impulse messaged me saying that he was going to blow up Magic Mountain Scot stop I I'm so nervous of you just even interacting with redstone contrations like this this this one don't oh God right here oh my goodness do it I don't like the way he stop one right here there's one right here there's one right here are you a push sure or not come on baby do it do it my do it okay C the c c the C goodness might want to go down and watch it's beautiful satisfying to see wow that is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen I want to fly I going to fly who's going to fly through it who going to risk it all right let's go down let's go down let's see it I'm going for it I'm going to I'm going down I'm going down as wellow how did that happen how that what no what I just exploded I did it literally just disappeared oh and I don't even have an elra what on Earth I just evaporated in the air I don't understand midair did you you CL one I must I must have clipped the mine cart yeah anything on you that you uh wait your stuff is still down there someone's stuff is still down there where before my cuts are going to reach it soon no oh it's gone it's gone it's too L not going to another Wing gone I I missed the meeting that we decided that we were doing this so what are we doing this for oh yeah you don't even know why we made a hole Yeah I just got a message saying that we were blowing up Magic Mountain I was like I'm all for it so I might have lost all of my stuff but I do have some good news just before impulse was blowing up the mountain he was organizing all of the mine carts and then grian had some B to do so I ended up having a couple of extra hours to just play around with this build and experiment with things and I think it's come together really really nicely so I've changed the name it is now safe storage so this is is now one of the many companies that I have on this little Plateau here I've also added in little Peaks inside all the garages and I think that definitely makes them look like garages cuz that's something that I was struggling with I've moved all of the garage door hardware to the outside of the door itself so now the actual the actual front of it is kind of uncovered and I think that looks much better and I've just generally cleaned things up tidied things around moved things about a little bit and I would say it has massively improved the build so I think the final thing that we have to do is to have to expand out our walkway I think I'm going to keep the dirt and all of the co stuff gosh this is going to be horrific without a shovel this is already looking considerably cooler these packed pack dir pack mud whatever it's called best new addition to the game might be controversial to say that you know we've got crafters and things I probably should be on that side but honestly back there it's just so fun it's just such a good block texture right this feels much cooler here a and it looks much cooler now oh my goodness how does that make such a big difference that doesn't make sense how that makes such a big difference I almost feel like we should have this area be overgrown like maybe build some small trees how does one small tree that's a pretty small tree I like that tree it's still too big though these are all really nice but they're still I think they would completely cover the build I think for now I'm just going to Long Grass it I'm resisting the urge to put like an old RV that's been there for so long that all of the grass and things has grown around it partly because I almost I don't want to over clutter this area but if anyone has any suggestions for what could go there I'd love to hear them just the final finishing touches now and the build is all completely completed safe storage is done we now have a whole bunch of storage containers installed up on my base and this is going to be the input for my storage system I think I've decided that it's going to be this one through here this one seems to make the most sense the items will go in this chest they'll be taken off put into the various different locations I also just quickly want to draw some attention to the irony of the safe storage name when all of the garage doors are very evidently open I will be working on some business cards and things that we'll feature in the next hcraft episode let's do some multiple distance checks the first check is the far away one which it looks really cool on and then as we come in this is entity distance which is when all of the details start rering in and I think it looks really great as well and then also we have the town experience distance as you're making your way through this area here I honestly think it's probably one of the best ones just because of the way that you have to access it like you get a lot of three-dimensionality to it I briefly lost faith but you know what I'm like I lose Faith every 5 minutes I'm not a very confident person I hope you've enjoyed this amcraft episode catch you in the next one see you

yellow and I&#39;m going to remove the green but I still like the idea of the green so I think I&#39;m going to put the Green in potentially another one maybe that one up there I&#39;ve tried introducing some terra cotta but I actually think that texture matters quite a lot with these garage doors and the Terra Cotta although is probably the right luminum is just it&#39;s too smooth so it just it doesn&#39;t it stops looking like what I want it to look like now this green one is going to be interesting because I do not have quite so many tricks up my sleeve for how I&#39;m going to break this up you see the great thing about working with wood is that you&#39;ve got loads of different texture that you can add this very GRE it&#39;s very Green Oh but you know what it actually looks pretty cool already I think this is working now I&#39;ve been messing around a little bit with all of the extra blocks that I&#39;m adding obviously we&#39;ve got the garage opening me mechanism I&#39;m imagining that this is almost like a cable reel and this is how the garage doors open so we&#39;ve got that on all of them but it was significantly harder to find a block that matched up with the bamboo but I think this does a good job because you can still you can see through it that really helps so you still get the green but then you&#39;ve got the green of the copper as well and then where I couldn&#39;t add any extra detail on the actual garage door itself I thought I would still add some texture to the edges of the walls and I think that helps if we go and look back a lot of our film references you&#39;ll notice there is texture everywhere in fact anyone who spent any time on a film set will see how overdesigned every single thing is is because texture looks good it&#39;s funny people often talk about over detailing in Minecraft Builds and don&#39;t get me wrong certain builds can look very busy I myself am guilty of it but look at real life how often in real life do you get a full meter square of just the same texture undeviating like no difference in tone no difference in color nothing it&#39;s exactly the same how often do you get a full wall of that almost never so it&#39;s that that I&#39;m trying my best to bring into Minecraft Builds and yeah I think I think this is kind of working I think this is doing something I think I&#39;m going to leave the garage doors for now now that I&#39;ve got all of them in place I&#39;ve done the copper one I&#39;ve got a little greeny one over there and then I&#39;ve got another Mangrove one up here which is pretty much entirely open that is surprising I don&#39;t think of Dockers being able to die yeah now that all of the garage doors are in a partially done State I think I&#39;m going to add in all of the extra elements to the build the staircase and the walkway now I&#39;m trying my best to build up one of those industrial style staircases and the thing that I&#39;m really struggling with is the way to do the shadow because it makes sense that it would be darker underneath the stairs so I&#39;ve got things like deep slate oh I I don&#39;t know I don&#39;t know if it&#39;s working now I remember the tough blocks exist and these are perfect they literally look like Shadows of the the block above so that&#39;s gone incredibly well now I need to do a railing going around and I think iron bars is probably the way to go I never really like the Zed fighting on iron bars but I don&#39;t think there&#39;s any way to get around it now one thing that I do love is once again tough blocks striking look at that so we&#39;ve got stone bricks here and then tough blocks underneath it&#39;s a really really subtle change but once again it just gives the impression that we&#39;ve got a little dark spot under here and I&#39;ve also got them over here this one&#39;s a little bit more extreme but I still think it works the alternative is to go for the andite and I mean does that see no I don&#39;t think that works quite as well I think the bluish U of the tough just imply Shadow a little bit more so now I&#39;ve run around the top and I&#39;ve just splashed a whole bunch of various different types of stone up here to kind of emulate the walkway this is definitely a challenge this this is hard and it&#39;s kind of the first Big Slab of gray that I&#39;ve had in this entire area so I&#39;m a little bit concerned that it&#39;s not going to look good but alternatively I can&#39;t really think of a different or Better Block for it to be and to be honest with you it&#39;s actually not really that noticeable I&#39;m actually a bit of a fan again I think there&#39;s still a lot of work to do but I think on this level especially it actually works really really well so now let&#39;s move on to the sign and I&#39;m I&#39;m not going to lie I&#39;m really really happy with this I was playing around with it for a few minutes just when I was running out of ideas of how to do the walkway and I how cool is that I think I&#39;ve just gotten really really lucky with the letters that I&#39;ve chosen or at least the word storage I should say in that they just they all fit within this this size so each of these letters is 2x two with the trap doors on the top because the E is the only one that requires trap doors on the top so I thought I&#39;d add it on all of them so that it matches up height Wise It&#39;s very easily legible it&#39;s kind of quite a cool font as well I would say the only ugly letter is the T I don&#39;t think that&#39;s necessarily that pretty if we had vertical slabs then it would be much better but for now we have to just make do with trap doors there is the option to remove one of the stairs and just have a slab but I think it just looks a bit odd I think this is the only way to do it anyway teer side storage looks great this is going to be a sign across the entire thing and then I think I&#39;m going to put a little arrow underneath because coming back to the hermitcraft server there&#39;s just a big gap here and I think if that&#39;s filled in I think we could be onto a winner now I want it known that this is going to take me a long time to get right okay there is going to be long periods where this sign looks completely pants like terrible I&#39;m aware of it I&#39;ve now made you aware of it we&#39;re all we all know what&#39;s about to happen here okay but just bear with me so the first thing I wanted to do is I wanted to create the framework that the sign is going to be sitting on and it looks it looks kind of messy right now but also it looks like it has promise I think I I think we&#39;re going to have something here but I I do have a bit of a butt and that is I actually think that the letters that I&#39;ve created are too small they&#39;re too small for the build and I almost think something like this might be better but then I could use the Cherry ones that almost looks like it has a light behind it that&#39;s kind of cool that&#39;s kind of cool right it&#39;s almost like is made of light bulbs which is kind of the vibe that we want and this does that so here&#39;s how I&#39;m going to integrate the cherry blossom I think I&#39;m going to leave certain parts of the framework behind this so that it does look attached to things but wherever I don&#39;t have framework I&#39;ll then put the trap doors back there now something else that I&#39;m going to play around with is variation in letter sizes and letter spacing remember this is a storage container yard so it&#39;s meant to look it&#39;s it&#39;s not meant to look like it&#39;s prim and proper and perfect but equally I don&#39;t want it to look utterly rubbish that&#39;s kind of cool I think this is actually potentially working the only issue is the area behind the sign is quite busy there&#39;s a lot going on H I wonder I wonder what we can do about that I think what I&#39;m going to do is I&#39;m going to change the word from Storage to just store with an arrow that will help maybe I could I could come up with a company name like keep Co that kind of sounds quite cool and it does it looks pretty cool as well I mean this sign this sign is nice I think it fits in well I&#39;m also experimenting with putting Birch trap doors behind and they kind of look like really bright light bulbs I am a fan but I am struggling quite heavily uh this build has taken me an entire day uh and I I&#39;m not really feeling like we&#39;re getting anywhere with it I was just about to go to bed but then impulse messaged me saying that he was going to blow up Magic Mountain Scot stop I I&#39;m so nervous of you just even interacting with redstone contrations like this this this one don&#39;t oh God right here oh my goodness do it I don&#39;t like the way he stop one right here there&#39;s one right here there&#39;s one right here are you a push sure or not come on baby do it do it my do it okay C the c c the C goodness might want to go down and watch it&#39;s beautiful satisfying to see wow that is the most beautiful thing I&#39;ve ever seen I want to fly I going to fly who&#39;s going to fly through it who going to risk it all right let&#39;s go down let&#39;s go down let&#39;s see it I&#39;m going for it I&#39;m going to I&#39;m going down I&#39;m going down as wellow how did that happen how that what no what I just exploded I did it literally just disappeared oh and I don&#39;t even have an elra what on Earth I just evaporated in the air I don&#39;t understand midair did you you CL one I must I must have clipped the mine cart yeah anything on you that you uh wait your stuff is still down there someone&#39;s stuff is still down there where before my cuts are going to reach it soon no oh it&#39;s gone it&#39;s gone it&#39;s too L not going to another Wing gone I I missed the meeting that we decided that we were doing this so what are we doing this for oh yeah you don&#39;t even know why we made a hole Yeah I just got a message saying that we were blowing up Magic Mountain I was like I&#39;m all for it so I might have lost all of my stuff but I do have some good news just before impulse was blowing up the mountain he was organizing all of the mine carts and then grian had some B to do so I ended up having a couple of extra hours to just play around with this build and experiment with things and I think it&#39;s come together really really nicely so I&#39;ve changed the name it is now safe storage so this is is now one of the many companies that I have on this little Plateau here I&#39;ve also added in little Peaks inside all the garages and I think that definitely makes them look like garages cuz that&#39;s something that I was struggling with I&#39;ve moved all of the garage door hardware to the outside of the door itself so now the actual the actual front of it is kind of uncovered and I think that looks much better and I&#39;ve just generally cleaned things up tidied things around moved things about a little bit and I would say it has massively improved the build so I think the final thing that we have to do is to have to expand out our walkway I think I&#39;m going to keep the dirt and all of the co stuff gosh this is going to be horrific without a shovel this is already looking considerably cooler these packed pack dir pack mud whatever it&#39;s called best new addition to the game might be controversial to say that you know we&#39;ve got crafters and things I probably should be on that side but honestly back there it&#39;s just so fun it&#39;s just such a good block texture right this feels much cooler here a and it looks much cooler now oh my goodness how does that make such a big difference that doesn&#39;t make sense how that makes such a big difference I almost feel like we should have this area be overgrown like maybe build some small trees how does one small tree that&#39;s a pretty small tree I like that tree it&#39;s still too big though these are all really nice but they&#39;re still I think they would completely cover the build I think for now I&#39;m just going to Long Grass it I&#39;m resisting the urge to put like an old RV that&#39;s been there for so long that all of the grass and things has grown around it partly because I almost I don&#39;t want to over clutter this area but if anyone has any suggestions for what could go there I&#39;d love to hear them just the final finishing touches now and the build is all completely completed safe storage is done we now have a whole bunch of storage containers installed up on my base and this is going to be the input for my storage system I think I&#39;ve decided that it&#39;s going to be this one through here this one seems to make the most sense the items will go in this chest they&#39;ll be taken off put into the various different locations I also just quickly want to draw some attention to the irony of the safe storage name when all of the garage doors are very evidently open I will be working on some business cards and things that we&#39;ll feature in the next hcraft episode let&#39;s do some multiple distance checks the first check is the far away one which it looks really cool on and then as we come in this is entity distance which is when all of the details start rering in and I think it looks really great as well and then also we have the town experience distance as you&#39;re making your way through this area here I honestly think it&#39;s probably one of the best ones just because of the way that you have to access it like you get a lot of three-dimensionality to it I briefly lost faith but you know what I&#39;m like I lose Faith every 5 minutes I&#39;m not a very confident person I hope you&#39;ve enjoyed this amcraft episode catch you in the next one see you
