Hermitcraft 8 | Ep 29: Connecting to the Boatem GIGA Base! 

You know, if you're all combining bases, it might be wise for everyone to just use one villager trading hall instead of three people each having their own. That's an idea to reduce lag. I know it's up to those three, not Impulse, but this just occurred to me off the top of my head and I had to mention it before I forgot.

I think it would be cool if later on in the season multicolored trees popped out where you dumped waste near Mumbo's base

The story could go: The byproduct that the facotry makes was so colorful, so the villagers on the mountain started using that as paint for their houses. You could match some of the blocks that mumbo uses, and you've already got the primariy colors being pumped out, so it matches perfectly. And maybe the villagers could be empolyed at the factory.

Impulse: “We’re going to pump all this waste into this beautiful forest so that nature can purify it. “ Oil companies: “WRITE THAT DOWN!”

I can see how the red "waste" will be lagging off to Mumbo's inventory :D

I love the genuine annoyance when tango filled the Boatem hole! I can tell Impulse was like, “Do you know how much time it takes to break that much bedrock?”

Mumbo suddenly being CEO for a few seconds: Grain: "STOP" lol

"We make a point and we make a loss." Hmm, sounds a lot like "It's about the principle." 🤣

20:40 The waste fluids should candy'ify the area around them. That would help tie-in your base to Mumbo's a bit more, it could also be a place for a candy plant plantation.

I think Cleo mentioned once that "locking" the armor stands with the book reduce lag quite a bit. The problem are mainly the unlocked armorstand. Maybe ask her about that.

Impulse: Boatem, it’s so laggy!! Boatem pole: looks around nervously...

I think that you need to have the colored sludge stream enter into a “treatment building” where it exits as clean clear water that flows into the pool in Mumbo’s base.

I remember season 6 where mumbo’s base was used for testing computer running power (it might have been doc’s new computer?) 😂 edit: it was X, not doc. Thanks for pointing out!

Impulse! What about putting smaller pipes around the rest of the mountain, interconnecting it all and creating a pipe framework throughout the giga base? Might look pretty cool.

Could Impulse's factory's pollution be the missing piece of lore we needed to explain the awakening of Treesa?

Impulse should expand out mumble mountain a little bit and then “mine” it for resources for the factory with cranes and trucks and stuff in order to connect them

9:03 I guess the boatem's lag attack on tango is justified then, since he has been lagging up their base with those drowned as well.

10:51 finally impulse pov. its funny how tango forgot to switch cameras LOL

I like how impulse is trying to help the lag while tango is actively adding lag.

That's so cool

*HEP has entered the chat*

I cant wait for the factory tour, and all of the "unintentional problems"

I thought that Impulse would of made a candy mountain after mentioning how everyone has sort of a mountain range. But I do love the pipes showin off the biproducts. Always looks so nice impulse!

Hey impulse just so you know the bedrock at the bottom of the boat em hole consists purely of item frames, those all contribute to lag

1:15 The way Ren’s armor stand just exploded

"Damn, our 5 bases we did next to each other make this place really laggy" "Yeah I know. Anyways. Let's build more at this place and put more stuff here that makes the place even more laggy." "Oh, and let's go to the shops and bases of the others and make them laggy as well." Top notch content.

22:00 you should put some trees that half normal half candy. To show that the trees are adapting to their surroundings

"We'll just have to hope the pool doesn't get any bigger than this." That's a Chekhov's gun if I've ever seen one!

20:32 if you slow it down to the slowest playback speed, you can actually see a creeper blow up and make impulse lose some of this progress. It just shows how much time these guys spend on projects like this.

oh, Grian has been wanting to build a message system between the bases, maybe you can suggest a factory related system? Possible Laggy thing could be all the string some hermits are using to cancel out the snow. Tango could use the new snow blocks that you fall through to reduce a step or two.

I love the sludge pool/pipes, so colorful :) It might be cool to have them mix in an overflow becoming purple on one side, orange on the other and then brown where the mixes meet, the crying obsidian block would give it that toxic glow, possibly with some colored clouds/plumes of gas rising up, I'm gonna build something like that in my survival world for sure

8:10 Actually we can, hoppers needs to be locked by redstone to remove the lag, that's how huge storage halls works, there is a power line to activate the hoppers when the sorting systems works, and lock the hoppers when it's done. This way you can have thousands of hoppers without lags.

Idea! Where the liquids are spilling out of the pipes add some other colours, you have the three prime colours mixing together to make others on a giant puddle

Scar: Mountains! Pearl: Hills! Grian: A giant cave! Mumbo: A waterfall! Impulse: P O L L U T I O N

8th minute: Boatem's solution to lag is literally just MOAR BOATS

5:51 Yeah, I feel like it deserves a timestamp

As a way to connect the bases, at least story-wise, create a type of “Oompa Loompa” people with armorstands. They could work in your factory, use mumbo’s mountain and scar’s cloud city as residential areas, and be seen strolling through grian’s street shopping. It would be a cool backstory for the village!

18:56 was hilarious, grian seemed so confused

I love how Impulse has connected to Mumbo’s peace love and plants base by dumping chemicals into the ground.

I love how impulse's idea of connecting to Mumbo's base is to pollute it :D

Another idea for connecting the 2 bases would be to add bulldozers and cranes extracting resources like iron from inside Mumbo's structure. Giving the Vibe of industrialisation destroying natural structures (where people live) for their profit. It would also fit with Willy Wonka's candy obsession, doing anything that needs to be done to make unique candies.

11:50 Tango's scream is perfect. I could watch this on loop all day.

Boatem: you may be a shopping district just not a mega one Big eyes: oh yeah what's the difference builds a giant boat Boatem: PRESENTATION

Might be cool to like have little food stalls between yours and Mumbo's base like what in the Philippines (where Mumbo's base is influenced by) call karinderyas. And you can have the "villagers" (armor stands with custom attires/uniforms maybe?) Be lounging under trees or ind the stalls and going to the factory to work, which is a very likely situation especially in the PH. The pipes and waste goin near Mumbo's base is very witty tho! and sadly has truth in them

Can't forget about the massive hole in bedrock covered in item frames and a constant collision of boats above it

I like the fact that tango spends an entire episode making the zombie-prank and the botem crew is just like oh drowned=lag I kill And when Tango builds a little add that wasnt even a prank Botem are like: And so I took it personally LMAO

Your transitions to build mode are awesome. That “lets go” and the music fade is just *chefs kiss*

Suggestion: a team villager trading hall for the Boatem group to avoid having multiple separate ones

Impulse: Starts rounding up entities to reduce lag. The Boatem Pole:*Chuckles* I'm in danger.

I love watching you guys building the boat from the 3 perspectives I've seen thusfar. Can't wait for their reaction to the giga-Boat

Imagine a little oompa loompa land/hillside to connect to mumbo’s base. Like a little town they live in before they head off to work at the factory.

I love the way pearl says "jokes on you I stole your HAT"

GOOD MORNING impulse, what a way to start off my day... Hot coffee, a Bagel, and Impulse shenanigans

When composters are placed over hoppers it reduces the lag of items running trough the hoppers.

“I guess we’ll just to hope that the pool doesn’t get bigger time right?” People who watched the stream: well..

"it's over 9000" yes i get what you're saiyan for once lol

When I saw your pipes being built I for sure thought you were going to build them into mumbo's base! Grian was looking for way to connect you to the gigabase mail system. What if you had pipes going through the giga-range mountains delivering candy into a shop in Grian's alley which can also be used as a mail tube? Edit: I couldn't help to notice you used the Potatoman's (™️) colours lol I'm certain he'll love it. I wonder what would happen if he decided to take a dip in the candy byproduct. It's definitely not nuclear waste, right? RiGhT?

It's maybe a little thing, but I greatly appreciate the music you and Scar use for your time lapses. There's something deeply appropriate about the 80s flavored synth pop stuff in this weirdly retro-looking game. The exhaust tubes look great!

A nice idea to fill even more the space would be to make the candy affect nature! Maybe build some more candy trees, bushes and flowers, but this time with the block palette that you used for the stuff coming out of the pipes! Maybe some candy mushrooms growing in that one side of Mumbo's armchair would look very good!

The boatem pole will eventually turn (if it hasn’t already) into the lag-em pole Edit: also Impulse I think u should connect the pipes straight into mumbos base and dump it in there Bc grian wanted to have a messaging system between all of the bases -> ur messaging system between u and mumbos base could be through the factory pipes

In today's episode, impulseSV brutally murders trick-or-treating children

Im just looking forward to that sludge slowly overflowing and discolouring mumbos mountain and ultimately culminating in a technicolor god zilla that crawls out of it. Perfect pearl collab

I've heard that Mumbo's base has one of the purest veins of nougat in all the lands! Can't believe you aren't mining that!

You should grow some “contaminated” trees now right there using your neather trees. Would fit perfect.

recently I've been listening to radio shows from like 40s or 50s and the thing about Impulse's voice is that if he was born in like 1920s or something he easily would've been an one of those radio shows hosts. one of those famous ones that made everyone want to be home by the time his show would go on air.

I love the pipes Impulse an alternate idea could be to have a rock candy quarry on the side of mumbo's base like your oompaloompas are mining it out and transporting it to the factory

ohhh imagine a little lake developing at mumbos base and the plants in that area either dying or becoming multicolored

Boatem needs a collective villager center on display in the middle of the area

A more Peace Love and Plants solution to connecting to the other bases would have been to connect the pipes into Mumbo's base, make the ends out of glass so we can see through and the story would be that the pipes are transporting resources into the mountain range, keeping it alive. The factory's byproducts are useful stuff that are used to power the Utopia, the Midnight Alley and Pearl and Scar's base.

I thought initially Scar was going to do a cloud base above the mountains. Maybe you should have multicolored smoke billowing into clouds over the mountain ranges. I really like the other ideas of colors polluting onto the Mumbo's base too. Also, although it would make sense for a standard factory, I don't think the 'pollution' from this factory should be harmful. It's a magical candy factory after all. It should just make life more colorful

Tango, you should have had the spouts coming out of Mumbo's mountain, pouring the fluids into pools, then you could have half-buried pipes bringing that liquid to your base. You could then get Pearl to make some candy trees for free that are corrupting/tainting the land and peace-love-and-plants around the pools, maybe even a leak running down the side of Mumbo's mountain. That would probably tie things together a little more. You could even terraform down to the coast there and have one of the pools threatening to breach containment and flow into the water. As for waste... well, there's a wonderfully white island off your coast that would be the perfect dumping ground. You could blame the pollution on them.

Impulse: “Time to connect to the other bases.” Me: “Cool, what’s he going to add?” *sees toxic waste being sent close to Mumbo’s base* Me: “I see that this idea is pretty unconventional but I wonder who would exactly want someone’s waste near the person’s base, however it’s Hermitcraft! 😂”

The piping system legit looks like molten jolly ranchers pouring out to Mumbo’s base. Ooo what would be cool is if you have Gem create more candy trees next to it.

I just started watching impulse this season and he’s quickly becoming one of my favorite hermits

I love how impulse is just dumping all his byproduct sludge into Mumbo's slum village.

Oh wow, that pool looks really pretty. It’s like all the leftover candy and sweets getting dumped out into the earth. I like it!

finally, the long-awaited giga-base connection!

"Halloween's Over!" *axe-murders trick-or-treaters*

Ur average hermitcraft episode: 1% Normal conversation. 1% Working on your projects. 8% Abnormal conversation. 90% Grian-

That was definitely an evil laugh at the end there

Impulse: there's a bit of lag in boatem Me playing minecraft bedrock: 10 fps

The tiny houses on Mumbo's mountain could be where your Oompa Loompas live. Then you can make like a ziplines or a bridge or some type of connection between your bases where the Oompa Loompas can go to and from work :)

Instead of the pipes you can make a bridge /sky bridge from mumbo’s mountain to the factory so it looks like the mountain villagers can come and work in the factory I know many people might not see this but I just had this random idea! Love your videos, I watch them with my whole family :D

oh my god its even funnier the second time and the fact that it backfired in his face is amazing

I want to see how impulse will connect his factory with all of the other mountains . It is gonna be interesting

You could connect one of the giant tubes str8 to the mountain and also use it as your escape passage in case of hostile invesion. Then it would be truelly base-connection experience.

I like to think that being a giant candy factory, that what is getting pumped out is simply left-over sweets, promises, and dreams.

well can't wait for big eye's and octagon to take revenge again

After watching a lot of your streams, the high energy intros always scare me XD Love your videos!

Impulse: Everyone else's builds are looking so natural :( Also Impulse: Dumps toxins out of his base onto Mumbo's

You could also make Like a geode that supplies you with shards for your candy and connect that geode to mumbo's base as it is a planty base so that will go well and connect it with mumbo's base perfectly! Just an idea

Expectation: Rail and mincraft having miners harvesting candy from a candy mine Reality:

"What's going on everyone my name is Impulse" Never grows old

Mumbo will love the pipes because he could use those redstones

One good idea would be for you to put the pipes going up the side of Mumbo’s base and emptying into his lake up top.

Oh i guess this video answer my question which is "How does impulse connect he's mega base to Mumbo's base"

This episode gave me so many Steven Universe flashbacks. "Pearl?! Pearl!!" XD

To be clear on lag, there are 2 that you can try to combat here, and both have different sources (I'm deliberately excluding client to server latency as you can't do anything about that): Tick lag (Indicates that the server itself is struggling due to processing overhead): - Entities (An entity is anything that is not a fixed block. For instance, while sand is a block, falling sand is an entity because it isn't a fixed block in the world). These create tick lag by having updates bound to them that may or may not have to be checked every tick. The overhead of visiting potentially hundreds of animatable entities causes the server to spend large amounts of time processing things like pathfinding, gravity, collisions, etc. "Frozen" entities, such as boats who have no active currents, no velocity, no occupants and have been that way for some time, are not visited until they are interacted with, and generally don't impact server TPS much, if at all (Even with several hundred loaded, I imagine the boat bomb only really caused the server some strain when it was going off). - Tile Entities (A fixed block that either calls out for updates on every game tick, or checks for updates from peers on every tick). Hoppers and furnaces are 2 easy to understand examples of this kind of entity, as they are processing every tick (Furnaces progress the cooking progress of an item every tick and hoppers check for, and potentially accept from peers, item transfers every tick (Unless covered, in which case they just handle the item accept)). These entities cause Tick lag due to the processing overhead of visiting every tile entity and having them perform their task(s). The best way to manage this is to keep large clusters of tile entities away form trafficked areas of the server whenever possible, or optimizing their behavior, such as preventing the above-entity search that hoppers do by covering them with an event-sending inventory. - Network load spikes (Hitching when moving to specific chunk boundaries). Generally caused by loading several megabytes of metadata for a chunk, this can happen when a huge cluster of inventories are loaded. See Mombo's current base for an example this. The only way to reduce this is to lower the amount of data being loaded, generally by spreading it over several chunks, but could be inevitable for some builds. Once loaded, this doesn't factor into your general game performance outside of the prior cases (For instance, chests don't cause any real server/network lag once sent to clients) Framerate Drops (Indicates that your computer is struggling to handle the rendering of the current viewport due to one of many factors): - Can be caused by large number of non-solid blocks, as Minecraft has to render the reverse faces of the block. One good example is a stair. While the stair itself is negligible for causing render complexity, each one forces all 6 surfaces to be checked if it needs to be rendered (This process is actually more optimized than this example, as generally only the 3 or 4 unoccluded sides are actually rendered, but the example still stands), meaning you have to pay for the calculation for all of those surfaces. If we are talking 100 or 200, this is nothing, but scale that up to several thousand, and you will start to have performance issues if those stairs are placed in a way as to "expose" surfaces that would normally be hidden. I would suggest looking at this last, but it is the most complex one to understand, and, as a result, was explained first. - Rendered entities, especially animatable ones. Things like mobs, items, boats, paintings and minecarts are a source of framerate lag, as your client always renders them (As seen when the infamous chunk errors were a minute-by-minute occurrence on servers, or in more modern games when a server is struggling to send you chunks, but is still sending early entity data). Reducing their numbers, or having a mod cull how many are rendered, will help dramatically with this sort of FPS lag. - Large numbers of light volume changes, especially around and into the void. Light is pretty well known to be an issue for framerate, and lighting updates that go into the void are especially hard on the client. You might be able to resolve this by putting a small set of blocks, like half-slabs, at the top of the world above the void blocks in the boatem hole. Another good cause of lage is large sets of light updates, such as from redstone, so having redstone only active when needed, or sealing the redstone so the light updates are occluded as early as possible can potentially help. - Java VM Garbage Collection (GC). Usually not a major factor, but putting too much or too little memory will cause GC events to be a factor on your framerate, as the whole game pauses while those are happening. Tuning the GC is an art form in of itself, and would take quite a good bit of time, but allocating 1 or threads to GC tasks tends to help performance when a lot of other processing, especially with entities,. For small-scale vanilla, I tend to recommend between 2 and 3 GB of RAM, for very lightly modded, I recommend between 4 and 7, depending on the additional texture space, such as additional blocks, or higher resolution resource packs, and for heavily loaded packs, with thousands of new items and maybe hundreds of thousands of new textures, I recommend between 7 and 10GB. All of those memory allocations should be tested by going to the middle value and, if you are seeing bad performance consistently, such as choppy gameplay, then up the limit. If you are getting minor hangs after small periods of time, then lower the memory, and ALWAYS leave at least 1 thread for you operating system (And additional threads for supplemental programs, such as maybe keeping 2 or 3 aside for OBS).

I think a brilliant way the bases could be connected is through a monorail, delivering the workers to the factory from Mumbo's mountain village.

Grian need to move his HUNDREDS of villagers out of Boatem to get the fps fix.
