Would honestly love to see Dire try building a complete village, minecolonies is so refreshing and different than most of the other mods in this pack! 10/10 would dire again.
The request system in minecolonies works like the old logistic pipe system except a lot slower. Once a build request is made a builder will attempt to build said building until he runs out of a resource, once this happens he will create a craft/retrieval request. You can see this in the open request tab of the builder when you talk to them. If Caroline is available she will attempt to transfer items from the requested area to the delivery zone, think of her as the logistic pipe. Delivering resources yourself will always be faster than letting them handle it but to make them work better you should upgrade the delivery person's building. Each level will increase the amount of stacks they can transfer at once. Also, you can have (i believe) up to 4 deliverymen per warehouse so you could speed up deliveries that way too. You can set up autocrafting as well using the sawmill and mason which has a 3x3 crafting grid. Personally I would go into the config file for the colony and increase their build speed, I've always found they tend to eat more resources than you get from having a colony. At level 5 buildings you tend to get a bit more but it's always a painfully slow process.
Unfortunately even though the upgraded deliverymen can supposedly carry multiple (or even "unlimited") stacks, the builder will still request the items one type at a time, so the deliveryman will have to carry the stairs first, planks next, fences next, etc etc. Even worse, the builder requests the stairs, then goes and builds the stairs, comes back, and *then* requests the planks. Really incredibly frustrating and inefficient. If only the builder would just request all the items at once, and build things as the materials arrive, then things would go so much smoother.
Dire, one comment I see a lot suggests you should use the building tool to make roads. Also, when you build a building, there are some markers that look as if they might indicate where roads should connect. So, consider manually adding in roads to tell your villagers where to go.
Dire, while watching how level 5 building is looking is usefull, there's simple trick - they never get bigger than the borders they're built in. The borders are either the fence that appears when the structure is being built or just cube with white borders if you're using building tool.
That's kinda what I Was thinking, I've played a bit with minecolonies and I'm like 85 percent sure the borders won't grow past what is shown at level 1, I think it's just so there's no weird block connections that'd make things look off, but as long as you've got at least 1 block space between them it should be all good.
Those Raiders are either very brave or very dumb. Imagine seeing a flying dude, wielding advanced armor and a god-tier bow, then decide "you know what, let's attack this village.". 😂 Thanks Dire, I'm super enjoying the Minecolonies episodes! :D
Playing a lot of RPGs I can say that as a Raider my thoughts would be: "Look at this dude with his amazing armor, lets steal it and became powerful" "Hey, he is sleeping now, it is time to attack, just do it quiet not to wake him up" "Why am I hearing boss music?"
If you stock the warehouse with Mystical Agriculture essences then you can teach the Builders how to make all the different wood types (You might be able to teach the deliverymen too). Make a sawmill to make your planks/stairs/etc and building/upgrading will be much faster
Dire not sure if anyone told you, but the warehouse stores all the resources of the village. The citizens working will request something, the deliverer will get the requested items, and deliver them. Collect what's not being used, or needed other places, and put them into the warehouse. So the warehouse is needed, or everyone's working storage will fill up a lot. If you want carol to carry more, upgrade her hut. 2 for lvl 1, 4 items for lvl 2, 8 for lvl 3, etc. Where at level 5 she can fill her full storage.
The warehouse in the village serves as a central storage point for ALL of their resources. The delivery person will bring any supplies to the various citizens as they request them, not at the time the build begins. Having a few delivery people will increase the speed of deliveries, and having their buildings upgraded will allow them to carry more stuff each. Last episode, you set the delivery priority of the builder to 10/10, meaning out of 10 buildings, the builder will be the 10th place to receive materials.
A few hints about your colonist: Peeps have already told ya about letting them sleep. You can teach those with jobs how to make things at their stations. The Delivery women, will level faster if you let them do most of the deliveries and the higher her level the faster she/he will move. Remember to keep them feed, again, baked potatoes are the best early on. Also, you might want to make two, very, important things for you management of the colony. The Clipboard, and the Resources Scroll. They are both very good time savers.
Also dire you can teach the simple recipes to each worker. You should teach them the recipes that fit their resource production. There are special builders who can build in a 3x3 where basics only use the 2x2 construction area. You should take advantage of that. :) Also dire you can build a portable request page to look at anywhere. Instead of having to run around to the builders to check it out. Kind of like your wireless terminal for the AE system.
in build options you can assign specific builder, so that you can use specific builder, rather than for example making queue for one builder and in chat you have from where they are coming
MineColonies is a great mod, I'm glad you like it. How ever... 1: The version in the modpack you are playing is realy outdated. The current version has so much more stuff in it, and more importantly works so much better. The entire request and delivery system has gotten a major overhaul is it very much better/faster/more stable now. 2: IMHO it's not a mod that come in to it's own when you start it after you have basicaly creative powers with infinite resource generation allready going. Much of the mod revolves around automating resource gathering and crafting using your citisens.
I think the meta for builders, warehouses, and deliverers is that the should all be close to each other so the deliverers have to walk shorter distances. Also I think the warehouse supports 1 more delivery person per level
The great thing about doing Mine Colones, after, you've got a working storage/crafting system and resource system, up and running, is ya don't have to do all the grind that goes with doing Mine Colonies with out the materials you need for the Colonies, at hand.
Hahahaha (14:40) fisherman is 1/null broken? maybe... it seems it has something to do with the actual structure or main block. Try setting it on fire and asking them to repair it. Maybe it didn't recover from dragon attack or something. If it continues being broken that is.
You can copy and paste tool the citizen hut's just paste the building then place the actual block where it would be and initiate the build. The builders will assume they did it.
Unless something has changed the children need to sleep to grow up. So sleeping as soon as possible may be slowing their growth. I think if you let the children get into bed before you sleep they will become adults faster.
Nope. That is definitely not a thing, at least in the version in MC Eternal. I played eternal day, with day/night cycle turned off. And children in my colony had no trouble growing up.
@@obuw1 Interesting not aware of an option to play without night. I wonder if however that is implemented also makes them not require sleep ...I am almost certain it is how it normally works
I remember when it wasn't a mod but bukkit plugin. Then some of those villages were prespawned and I just went and upgraded few of the buildings. Made my own building near town, but they claimed this plot and destroyed half of my building to extent the village. Village and the buildings were more dynamic and made their own choices about upgrades and new ones back then.
@@krisavi Maybe thinking of Millenaire? I don't seem to recall Minecolonies ever running independent of the player. I could be wrong though, please tell me if I am.
I'm dreaming of a mine colonies interface block. A master request block that can see the contents of the entire warehouse, and all the requests in the "system". You could attack AE to it, and remove things, or logistics pipes to it and let it give it things on "request".
Protip: road type blocks increase colonist move speed Apart from all the bugginess I think dire fails to realize this a very early to early mid game mod and is going to be almost by design very slow compared to any other mod in the pack (even buildcraft)
Worker level, in case of a deliveryman, determines how fast she can go and how efficient she is at picking up/sorting/bringing stuff back. Hut level determines how much she can carry and how fast she levels up.
If he does that the miner will get eternally stuck because the mod maps out the entire underground when you place the hut and never updates it. Dire knows this, that's why he doesn't mine the ore himself.
this is suuuuuper entertaining :) Get everything. Automate everything! -For 3x3 crafting you need a lumbermill (wood) / stone mason (stone) / blacksmith (metals) . as long as the recipe is >50% of the () material. -Check out the 'decorations' section in the build tool. Roads/walls/gates etc. Taaake it easy :D
Am I the only one who thinks this mod is super janky and can be improved significantly? Or perhaps the AI gets smarter with higher building/citizen levels
Well, minecraft was nod designed for things like that. Its either they do some tricks for pathfinding that might look janky, or require a supercomputer.
Of course it's janky as fuck, and everything can be improved. But minecolonies is a huge project and isn't as easy to improve as you would think.

personally, i find this mod to be incredibly boring. Its like watching someone do a pure crafting episode but w/o using an item system to easily get all the materials for quicker crafts. Its basically just one of those city sim games but it feels super slow because minecraft mechanics.

me too, honestly i wouldn't mind whole series dedicated to minecolonies, dire setting up his base in a colonie...
Minecolonies is different from everything
Dire should definately do an up-to-date Minecolonies playtrough... from the beggining .would 10/10 watch that
Wilx was working on a SkyColonies (Skyblock MineColonies) modpack. I look forward to it.
That would be great in a mod pack that does not add mobs or ores the villagers can't deal with.
There has been much I've enjoyed watching in this series but Minecolonies by far my favorite

Thanks for this. I'm so annoyed at not having resources to make my ae2 system so I think I'm gonna play MineSims for a while lol
By the way, it should be 5 deliverymen per warehouse. That's what the in-game tip said when the warehouse finished building a few episodes ago.
Unfortunately even though the upgraded deliverymen can supposedly carry multiple (or even "unlimited") stacks, the builder will still request the items one type at a time, so the deliveryman will have to carry the stairs first, planks next, fences next, etc etc. Even worse, the builder requests the stairs, then goes and builds the stairs, comes back, and *then* requests the planks.

Speed beacon for minecolonies?
dires gonna find out that upgrading the Dman hut doesnt actually help the productivity. Because the problem is the AI. not the stack size and speed.
The adventures of having to deal with Caroline continue...
MineColonies is also a non-tech why of having auto crafting and harvesting
i've been aggressively sleeping xD
I believe you can just hire more workers for the same building
look into waypoints helps with pathing
The game Hammerhelm (still in ea) looks a lot like Minecolonies
Roads: faster speed and better pathing.
Use a shovel to make pathways, it really helps with pathfinding

While it will slow them a wall does not stop them. These raiders can build over walls and dig under them. From memory they can even place ladders
@@ockerspock3432 they can indeed dig and build and build ladders
