The Hazard System! Hermitcraft 9: #37 

The fact that Tango forgot about the second minecart is hilarous and shows just how much these hermits do in these projects

The fact that he said he did a "little bit of base building on deep frost citadel" is the greatest understatement I've heard in a while

For anyone unfamiliar with 'The Monty Hall Problem', Tango made a mathematically ill-advised move by sticking with Door #2 - and still managed to win!

Given the puzzle nature of the dungeon, hermits who get stuck in the ice trap might expect a secret way to escape, and be confused or disappointed with a straight up death. Maybe add some notes in the chest that say 'GG' or something. It can rub in the fact that they got trapped, while also letting them know that they aren't missing anything and don't have to come back to look for the 'secret that would have let them live'

It looked like a fish popped up at just the right time to block the frostwalker from changing the blocks. So maybe one overly lucky hermit might have his run saved by the sushi?

I can see tango build a tcg arena close by the communal/waiting room, because I can imagine hermits playing tcg while in line waiting to play decked out.

Judging by how popular TCG has become (i.e. completely taking over the entire server), when Decked Out is finished it's going to be running non-stop. There's gonna be a line for weeks, to the point that many hermits will resort to logging on in the middle of the night to try and get more dungeon runs.

It must be so much fun for a game designer to run around inside his code, watching the signals trigger effects, hands-on adjusting on-the-spot, instead of reading lines of code to find the spot to adjust. I’m definitely having fun watching the process! ❤

This is coding, a giant physical coding in a game. I'm just blown away by Tango again.

HC season 9 will be known as the season of epic games. Between TCG, Bdubs mini quests, and Decked Out 2, this is all just incredible content.

Hey Tango you could make secret passages with the frostwalker boots and lights in reverse. Where a passage is closed off with frostwalker on default but Hermits could open it by releasing lights through doing some secret.

If you're gonna have a 'gotcha' trap like the ice chest, you should totally scatter a couple "what does this button do" traps around too (with one of them being a goodie to make it worth it).

The mobs related to clank could have clank pun names to help players distinguishing it from hazard? Basically if you die you get a reminder that you could have avoided death by avoiding clank and have an incentive to add clank preventing cards to your deck.

Tango! Amazing work, can't wait to see this done! Just a reminder, that second mine cart chasing you was going to have a ravager in it that randomly spawns to chase the player down the entrance

I would 100% watch a playlist of just Decked Out progress centered episodes. (Or even a 2 hour video of all these clips of tango explaining the progress he’s made)

You should totally put arrows of slowness in those dispensers on level 2! Would make things a little more challenging and make you question wether to risk going that way.

Won't the arrow trap slowly wittle down any ravager's health if they get caught in it or set it off themselves wondering around? Just a thought, hell knowing your geunuis you're 10 steps ahead planning a ravager healing bay to splash them after a run or something

Etho had a let’s play episode recently where he was working on the directional sensor thing! He figured out how to get something to trigger going either direction

I love that a random trap can mean certain death. The hermits will say "no no no!! Come on!!" when it happens but they'll actually love it.

Can't wait to see how all of this wonderful scenery moves around to trap the player!

In every episode I'm blown away by the scale and depth of the work you're putting into this project, outstanding stuff man!

Decked Out 1 was so incredible, I can't wait for when Decked Out 2 goes live! It's crazy how much more has been put into it.

The redstone is so complex, and the game design is so so brilliant! I love how different each run can be with all these random effects! And that freezing water trap is amazing! :D

9:32 This is going to scare the poop out of the hermits. I knew it was coming yet even I jumped! The frost walker trap is so sneaky, you’re going to get hermit hate mail ahahah Super excited that everything’s coming together!

I just hope Tango remembers to do some kind of safety for the ravagers in the hallway that shoots arrows at the players. love the amount of layers added to this game!

16:40 There was a fish in the block. Frostwalker won't create ice if there's an entity in that water block. I think the only way to prevent fish spawning is making the floor slabs, stairs, and non-spawnable blocks.

Impulse with the Monty Hall problem- Tango actually won with option that has worse odds! (Basically switching is the better option for if you picked a bad door, and because there are more bad doors than good doors it’s the better choice)

How are you able to make all these amazing things in so little time?!?

9:20 Opening the door with the pressure plate is a simple but effective solution, but if you ever wish to realise your original vision of using invisible sensors, XP orb detectors are a viable option - I made a video showcasing them if you're interested.

Tango that is the best trap I have every seen with frost walker boots. I love it

Great Video! I had some ideas for expanding the frozen lake trap. How about trolling the hermits with a card in the chest like "frozen lake secret" that always dies with them. Or actually releasing a card or cards that add treasure to the chest or unlocks a secret tunnel to swim through that also freezes over as they approach the surface.

Tango. As a software developer by trade and a (very off-and-on) Minecraft player by hobby, I am impressed, inspired, and downright dumbfounded by this project. I’m sure you had a handful of others contributing to this behind the scenes, but your vision and execution here is just excellent. I hope you’re proud; you absolutely should be. Thank you for sharing not just the results, but the process of all of this. Well done, my friend, well done.

Every time I hear that intro music, it just makes me feel so happy! So excited to see how far Decked Out 2 has come, and the traps look amazing! Can't wait to see more

For anyone looking for the name of the song in the intro it’s called “Swagger Stagger” by Lucas Pitman

Tango: the way you have hazard will trigger many traps at the start and few at the end of a run. If you have a 1 in 18 chance to trigger, and 18 untriggered traps, you'll trigger about one per hazard. Later in a run you might only have one left, it will need on average 9 more hazard pulses to trigger one hazard trap. One solution is to speed hazard up over time. Every hazard pulse, remove one item from the hopper clock.

Hey tango! I really liked today’s video! I was immediately concerned that the arrow trap could lead to Ravagers in the very long run dying. I don’t know how likely this would be. Probably just occasionally splash them with Regen is all it would take to maintain this

I think I would make the hazard doors from wood in the crypt area to get a bit more contrast and show where there would have been a path normally.

I love the detailed explanations of the redstone. I don't understand all of it, but bit by bit I'm understanding more of the little pieces, like dropper/hopper combos and when you want to power the side of a repeater. Amazing work man!

Fun fact about the Monty hall problem (let’s make a deal), is that you’re actually more likely to succeed if you switch after the host reveals one of the trash doors.

At the end when he was standing up top the citadel, looking down, I just imagined Tango looking down on all the Hermits giving them some grand evil monologue to open the game up for everyone.

Last episode we did a little bit of base building... Yes finishing the castle is a little bit of base building.. Hope you had a good break tango!

*gazing intently at the system, nodding knowingly* brain *running away, screaming, looking for a place to hide* The work and effort you've put into this is incredible. Can't wait for it to be up and running. Hm. It will be interesting to see how Scar does with it. 🙂

Tango is one of the most skilled and intelligent Minecraft Redstoners on the internet, the amount of time and work he puts into these things is insane. On top of that, his builds are beautiful and masterfully executed. Much love

You should have a nether portal in one of the floors and have a nether section! It would be sick!

I'm still hoping that flippy trapdoor thing makes a reappearance

16:28 it didn't freeze because the fish was in the way.

A trap that dispensed a curse of binding pumpkin head or something to obstruct vision could be brutal!

I just want to say Tango! That I get incredibly excited by every video of you! Great video's! Keep going! You are amazing!

Best overall builder. An engineering artist.

Absolute genius Tango, how the hell do you even begin to think about a project like this never mind build it. Its gonna be the best in game, game ever. Well done 👏

It was really cool watching the dungeon just close up around Tango. It already wasn’t the most inviting, but now it’s just keeping you in its cold embrace.

0:08 "A little bit of base building" Only on Hermitcraft is finishing off your entire base "A little bit of base building".

in the build would it work if u put some buildings that remind players of decked out 1.maybe like a broken down entrance(of course scaled down). i think it would fit really well in floor 2. great video! really want to see how this is gonna look like whe its finished!

I hope you're not overworking too much! You sound a little off, so I just want to say it's always okay to not be 100%. I can feel the dedication and pressure building for you and the audience. You're taking on an immense task that is unprecedented! Look after yourself, and don't burn yourself or your family out ❤️

Wow Tango got the 1 in 3 chance with Impulse's game! I would always switch, cuz it's a 2 in 3 chance of getting it right. (it's called the Monty Hall problem) Easiest way to think about it is: you have a *1 in 3* chance of picking the *right* one, and a *2 in 3* chance of picking the *wrong* one. If you pick the *right* one, you *don't* want to switch. If you pick the *wrong* one, you *do* want to switch.

Tango, you absolute madman. I love that trap, and I can't wait to see the reactions of the other hermits when they inevitably fall for it, if they decide to record it of course... Anyway... what if told you, you could make them *WANT* to fall for it afterwards :) Make it into a ''prize pool'' where each players death to that trap, increases the ''jackpots'' value, but also the risk of the trap triggering. To add insult to injury, a full chest will hook the trap up to Hazard, potentially locking a player out from even getting to it. To make sure the chest is never empty if it's been collected on a previous run, make a buffer station that puts something in the chest, when the game is turned off, if there's nothing in it. As an added bonus, you could make one of these ''prize pools'' on each floor, each one being better value, but also more dangerous.

Your builds are amazing! Can't wait till it's finished!!!!!

Waking up to a tango vid, perfect start

The way Tango explains the Redstone is so good it makes someone who has very little knowledge on Redstone understand fairly well

Loving the ice trap, but as long as you have fish spawning in that pool there's a chance it'll leave an opening, the frost doesn't spread accros entities

Tango, for the ice trap, consider placing a bell in the pool of water, as it is something hermits will recognize that it benefits them, without it being a mystery like a chest or a barrel. Also, is it possible to add a redstone line when the game ends to tell any doors you have in the dungeon that the player may have opened (like the Narnia closet) to be closed for the next runner

Love the decked out vids!

Watched all your episodes for your last Decked Out, but not the streams…this time around I’m catching both and you amaze me. Your game making skills combined with your redstone knowledge is an amazing combination! I’m always like “can you DO that in Minecraft?! Well, yes, Tango can.

7:00 Take that, Monty Hall problem!

It feels illegal to be here so early

Super excited for new episode you make such amazing things really appreciate your work but a question are you doing TCG stuff

I would just like to thank you Tango, watching Hermitcraft through multiple creators has really helped my mentality but especially your videos have. Seeing your persistence and commitment to your work has really inspired and helped me to better my own commitment to my work and even just my daily life. And I’m sure I speak for many viewers when I say this. Thank you Tango for your incredible work and still staying you throughout it all. Please make sure you are still eating and resting well

If you don't like the sculk sensors, you could always go back to the good old fashioned puffer fish sensors.

I cant wait for decked out to be finished!!!!!

Today's Fact: Honey never spoils - it can be stored indefinitely without going bad.

In Half-Life, there is a monster called Jeff that's big, bulky and blind. You can't kill it, and you need to distract it in order to get to your objectives. Pretty much like the warden. That's why I think Decked Out's warden should be called Jebb, as a nice reference to Half-Life Alyx and Jeb, the minecraft developer. Think it fits even if you don't know Half-Life.

I think the ice not freezing was the fish swimming there. I expect ice can't freeze if the hitbox collides. Excellent stuff Tango, I love you and I love your awesomeness ❤️

Tango you are awesome 👏

< 1 minute

I love listening to Tango explain complicated redstone stuffs even though I do not understand a thing.

Omg, that entrance with the minecart was something else!! Im so excited for this project and I cant wait to see it finished

I have been watching many of the hermits since season 5, and I’ve got to say this might be my favorite season of tango. He does so much stuff in 1ep, and not too long ago he pretty much built the entire exterior of his base in 1ep.

if you fill it with slowness arrows they may be forced to stay in the deadzone longer of the arrows, or you could do poison arrows to just continue to drain their health after they went through the trap

17:06 that dripping block gives me anxiety

Strange idea for a card; well, two actually: 1. Iron Lungs: You can breath underwater 2. Danger Sense: An number of traps are closed off or cannot be triggered (depending on the trap) Iron Lungs was mostly inspired by your water tunnel, but also that water trap you made in this video.

Inside that chest you should have an item and name it "You are already dead" or something like that so that they can enjoy their death.

man you need to bring back some of the classic note block sounds we miss them

Always love the Tango noises 20:10

I just can't do justice in words as to how amazing this all is, Tango. Super impressive, I can't wait!

I find it wholesome that Tango always calls it an Etho Hopper clock

I think this has started to pull together nicely. The Minecart issue he must not have noticed but pushing the button to go is what creates the extra Minecart. The setup over all is looking good.

Idea: I think players holding a light source like a lantern is really great for the explorering mood. Blaze rods might be better so they can't break out of your trap. Maybe get one on the front gate so most people have to stop at the gate. You can even guess an area they will stop from the item drop area. Might fix your front gate trigger?

This is the most complicated vanilla (almost) contraption i have ever seen. It tops the last most complicated vanilla (almost) contraption i saw.... Which was decked out 1. You are a bona fide Genious.

Tango choosing the suboptimal strategy for Let’s Make A Deal and still winning xD

Aaaaahhhhh!! 😁👍 Every time I think that the hype for Decked Out 2 can't possibly get any higher, Tango says stuff and my excitement level reaches new heights!! Thank you for sharing!! ❤

You were looking for something to do with the top of the Citadel, and I've got an idea. At the very bottom of Decked Out, far below the fourth level, there lies a key with a warning. Taking this key activates a timer that will *lock off the entrance of the dungeon.* This key unlocks the door to the top of the tower, atop which the greatest artifact imaginable lies

Omg perfect ad placement! The hazard went off Jurassic park ad roaring trex

Tango - be careful not to punish players for doing good things via traps. The water trap is effectively just a 1st time penalty and punishes the player for doing something good (exploring and having a keen eye). There is no warning or common sense idea of risk vs reward. If you put a chest in a pit of lava with some parkour, the player knows they are taking a risk to reach it. But the water trap feels unfair and I feel like there will be confusion as to if they can break the "temporary" ice block or not. Super excited for Decked Out 2 though and awesome work!

i think it would be funny if the dispensers shoot out slowness arrows at you

1) I believe the second minecart following you as you proceed into the dungeon is for a ravaged to ride, it follows you after you drop down the shaft. I think that’s what you said in a previous video 2) 16:28 the reason the ice didn’t form was because of the fish swimming right there at that moment. Totally unsure how to stop fish from spawning though

Starts off by reminding everyone that he did "a little bit of base building" last episode. Because in Tango's world, "little bit" means "bigger, grander and more amazing than anything I will ever even attempt." Good ole Tango "I'm not a builder" Tek. Lol. What a guy.

Fun fact: You have a higher probability of winning Impulses little game if you actually swap doors. Its known as the monty hall problem if anyone dont believe me and want to look it up

Tango if I had a million dollars it would be yours you are an absolute legend! I can’t comprehend the scale and complexity of this project. Yea you play with some amazing minecrafters and creators but I don’t think anyone has your level of creativity dedication and skill, even though we all know your a huge derp at the same time. Never change… never change! We love you tango!

Tango, as *Jared Harper's* post points out, you put that second minecart there because you were planning on having a Ravager "chase" the Hermit and get their pulse beating quicker. 😁 I love your Decked Out stuff!

Amazing. Incredible. Fantabulous. Not enough words to describe your game design skills. Thanks so much.
