yeah so thaumcraft treasure bags have a bug where if you ever enter any inventory, it resets the rng back to the first bag pool. meaning you need to do bulk bag opening to get actually varied drops. haven't watched the video yet but saw this comment, and I'm assuming this is what you're referring to. (also side note in advance: use basic bee bags and literally reload your backups until you get a simmering comb reward, way quicker and less frustrating than either the impossibly low chance of a villager trade or the annoyance of going into bee breeding this early)
@@PlayfulPiano that's what you sign up for when taking a pack like GTNH that's already very grindy, and put it in a skyblock. Using backup cheese to lessen something that can be done with legitimate mechanics really defeats the purpose. And once you open that door, you can't really close it again. Would you then suggest backup cheesing any lootbag rewards later? Or for chance outputs when processing rare materials?
@@lazorati4496 Most ppl in the gog discord specifically recommend doing that because the means to get a simmering comb is otherwise egregiously difficult/timetaking.
Their trade is heavily depends on how much golden aspect in the item. I encourage you to trade all golden weapons / armors with them - you get crazy trades, even enchanted golden apples and much more.
I can't wait to see your face once you see the size of the greatwood trees. To grow, they do need a 2x2 region of dirt, but only one sapling is necessary (unlike vanilla 2x2 trees). They usually do take a very long time to grow, but are very much worth it.
He does not even KNOW how lucky the mana bean is. I'd be so amused to see him with a mana bean farm, and using them instead of torches everywhere. Having unlimited amounts of every possible thaumcraft element would be SO broken.
You might be obstructing the blocks the Greatwood tree needs to grow on. From memory its a single sapling that turns into a 2x2 tree base. It expands out in one direction from that sapling, but I can't remember which way. Planting it in the middle of a 3 x 3 is great. Putting the torches down, not so much...
Seeing you lose those 2 dirt creepers and lighting creeper makes me feel a bit better. I've lost so many valuable things in this challenge due to weird unexplainable mechanics or simply dumb mistakes from me that it feels good to see that it happens to you also!
@@davidk8699 I just looked it up. Chickens from jockeys also have mob despawn mechanics. 2 Chickens to breed is viable but he'll need name tags or not leave the area i.e. die. I think on the future this would be viable but not at this stage
Dan you are crazy. Don't charge the creepers just explode them to get the dirt it's not worth losing them trying to charge them. Pech's are so overpowered building a good mobfarm (even on non-skyblock) GTNH and using this mechanic helps a lot too. Good luck on the grind and don't give up too early this time around i wanna at least see a rocket go up in the sky ;) (or are you skipping space?)
Love these series! Ive been trying to get into actually completing modpacks and this is a huge insperation! Even started a recording the other day! Not sure where i would upload it though. Working on Scicraft right now :V
the tree only needs one single sapling. it grows into a tree with a 2x2 base, the area needs to be unobstructed so create a platform that is 4x4 with a single sapling on it and a single torch in one of the corners. they cant be bonemealed
I think you're confusing them for a different tree. Thaumcraft Greatwood trees are about 2 stacks of logs maximum, even if their branches are a little obnoxious to fully chop down. The trees that are silly in size are the Sacred Oak, the Redwood (the Natura one, the BoP one is large, yet manageable), and the Rainforest Oak. Of those, the only ones I'd be wary about are the Sacred Oak and Natura's Redwood, since the rainforest oak is the most well-behaved tree I've ever seen; it only ever goes straight up with no branches.
But yha, these Peck trades show why folks encouraged a peck farm in the twilight forest, you were so close last series to getting to .. the point your at in your second episode... nevermind.....
Recording off camera hmm? 🤔 Considering how many dirt creepers you lost waiting to charge them, wouldn't it be better to just utilise them as soon as you get them? Bird in the hand kinda thing... Greatwoods can grow from a single sapling; you can get a lot more trees if you spread them out.
I've always disliked the mod(s) that punish you from eating the same foods, especially ones that make them give you less food, like that doesn't make any sense, a steak that is 400 calories will ALWAYS be 400 calories even if it is the 5th steak you've had.
It's not supposed to be an easy modpack, and food variety is really easy. baked potato's aren't the only food in the game. Gotta make a couple different dishes
@@blackcatthegreat182 I know it isn't easy, heck it is a gregtech pack xD Just wanted to send my opinion. I honestly like the cake edition of Spice of life, giving you temp bonuses for diversifying rather than negatives.
@@syberfang7890 The way this modpack does the eat different foods seems to be both the negative and positive reinforcements. You don't even gotta eat that many different types of foods it seems. Crashlanded did it pretty good where it went off of total hunger gained from certain foods, so once you got the good foods, you only needed to eat maybe three different things to have full replenechment.
Has anyone else experienced this issue opening treasure bags before

@@PlayfulPiano nah reloading backups is borderline cheating honestly. Villagers are doable with cookie arrows anyway
@@lazorati4496 you need like 1000 villagers just to get a 50/50 chance for that trade specifically

ok "garden of grind"... now marry me.
It's crazy the amount of dirt he would have instead of trying to charge them. 😢😢
Yup, I learned the hard way

Glad you enjoy my “approach” xd

That’s why I ALWAYS record.
just found your part 1 yesterday and were a bit sad there wasnt a part 2, you just made my day
Killing that chicken might have been a bad play, it’d produce eggs, unless Greg devs ruined that, which is likely, but you could make more with eggs.
It's actually the other way around. In vanilla MC chickens spawned from chicken jockeys don't lay eggs.
@@andrewbieny4564 I think if you get 2 of them they can be bred. Then their children can produce eggs. Drawing on a very old memory here though....
@@davidk8699 I just looked it up. Chickens from jockeys also have mob despawn mechanics. 2 Chickens to breed is viable but he'll need name tags or not leave the area i.e. die. I think on the future this would be viable but not at this stage
Literally just finished watching part one and got sad when it was the only part 🤣 you read my mind
the native clusters actually triple in tinkers smeltery but lead and silver can only be smelted or macerated the normal way
Dan you are crazy.

my favorite yt series rn
Spends entire video trying to get a dirt creeper and a storm mob
14:33 Bonjour
Hope this upload schedule stays the same, always looking forward to the next one
Please keep on grinding 🙏. I was SOOOO sad when you ended the previous playtru I teared up😭

Reading through the pech barter tables it's possible to get gold apples from him
Yup!!!!
So, Garden of Grind is the answer to.... "What would happen if we throw immortal/regenerating engineer into the void?"
the tree only needs one single sapling. it grows into a tree with a 2x2 base, the area needs to be unobstructed so create a platform that is 4x4 with a single sapling on it and a single torch in one of the corners. they cant be bonemealed
33:02 oh no that’s not gonna end well… those are bloody massive as in a double chest of logs massive that’s gonna be a mob farm when it grows

@ oh yeah I confused it with the sacred oak. Well 2 stacks is still pretty good considering they only need 1 sapling as other said
Love seeing Dan while playing Skyblock
greatwood grow from a single sappling, you don't need a 2x2 of sapplings.
Since you are doing a limited deaths challenge, can we get a death counter on screen when they happen?
Funnily enough I thought of this idea too, but not for the starting parts for obvious reasons
:D
23:37 jockey chinkens do not lay eggs
Yup, I know that ;)
@@gardenofgrind kek , that kinda nish fact
10:47 godlike luck

Greatwoods can grow from a single sapling; you can get a lot more trees if you spread them out.
why does part of me want to do this?
Do it!
Haha
u should make a bigger space for the sapling it's very big
Ohh really, cheers for the heads up
im only interested in the hyena
Not the pech?
@gardenofgrind no
the hyena
huh?
👍
who else up grinding their garden rn
Is there a special reason to not just... let the dirt creepers explode? Does it really need to be charged?
No, but you get like between 10x/14x stacks of dirt instead of just around a stack and a half.
will sky of grind continue
imagine wasting that luck by keeping death counter rule.
Ask and I should receive it!
Pretty much yea…
xd
How are you avoiding explosions from mob cramming?
Mob cramming was added in a later version.
Mate, you've got plenty of bones! Why not bone meal the tree?
I know, but welcome to gregtech…
You can’t just simply craft bonemeal.
@@gardenofgrind That's... evil
@@boxmeister3059 You need to grind it up in a mortar to get bone meal out of them
I grow infuriated at the lack of guard rails and you not securing a good spawning area so that you dont die again when you die elsewhere
My main goal is to secure a bed to set my spawn elsewhere as currently my base/dumping ground is in a slime chunk oof

you sound like mumbo
he sounds like stampylongnose
nah aint no way this isnt a set seed, ur so lucky
the program necessary to find this seed would take incredibly long to run anyway
This would all assume the seed affects mob spawns, which I’m pretty confident it doesn’t
@@electricnezumi i mean you only need to spawn in a magical forrest biome, not that hard
@@0brine if that's the only thing you find lucky about this run, then sure
