Two New Farms I NEEDED! - Hermitcraft 9: #23 

15:43 "Some people *Scar* might fall in there and that'll make me happy" The way he just adds scar in without any pause or reaction had me dying.

You could do a temporary ice bridge using an armor stand with frost walker boots like Etho did in season 6. Then you have full controller of when it drops and it fits the theme nicely. You could probably turn all of the armor stand stuff to invisible with the book I am assuming.

"Some people *scar* might fall in here" But we aren't pointing any fingers or anything haha /lh I love seeing the whole process of the game design and all of the unique farms that are going into building it! Watching how the design and the block choices evolve is so fascinating, trial and error of what works, what looks good, to end up with the ultimate game. Can't wait to see more~!

I actually quite liked the white glass panes in the river because it made it look like little ice cubes floating on the surface

Suggestion for the river: At a certain hazard level, maybe some magma blocks could be revealed under the water to suck hermits down

NEW HERMITCRAFT VIDEO! HONEY WAKE UP!

The original glass panes in the river make it look like patches of ice. Like tiny little ice cubes 🧊 I like the white better than the blue imo

I actually liked the clear glass panes in the river instead of the blue ones, they made it look like there was little chunks of ice floating in the water! I actually thought that was the intended effect until you explained the ravager thing

Every new episode makes it more clear: you can no longer say you're not a builder!

I highly recommend some of Pearl’s shears if your gonna use the lichen farm a lot.

Tango: "Some people scar might fall in there" Me: *sprays tea EVERYWHERE*

So much to do indeed, I love how we're just gonna see more and more of people throwing materials at Tango's face because they're as excited as we are

Still cannot express how baffling it is whenever Tango does ANYTHING, because it's something I could NEVER do. Keep doin your thing Tango!

Tango's Community is full of talented people. I personally would love to see a Decked Out soundtrack competition. And the winner tracks could get added to game!

I noticed at the very end three very similar rooms with a coffin type box, I think it would be a great idea to have near identical rooms to confuse the hermits as to whether they’ve gone in circles. Can’t wait for the finished game!

couple of ideas: In addition to paths closing off with high hazard, on the first floor you could have sections that players can fit through that ravagers can't, but open up to let ravagers through at high hazard. second idea I had would be to drop snowballs on occasion on the first/second floors for use against the warden, so the player has to pick them up while travelling to the third/fourth floor but once they get there it's a limited supply to distract the warden

Tango: "Where's my slabs!?" Me waiting for Etho to show up

Now that you've lowered the water level of the icy river, you could add back in the powdered snow border idea? And maybe you'll be able to hide a frost-walker-armor-stand-pushing contraption under the snow layers? Honestly I think the 'wow factor' of giving the players a fancy experience is underrated! I made a vanilla redstone adventure map inspired by Decked Out 1, and my favourite things were those moments that aim to impress the player with a spectacle, like draining a whirlpool which was previously an obstacle so you can dive down the maw; finding a secret lab and opening up a wall which looks onto the central chamber, when it appeared as just a plain cave wall from the other side; a creepy manor whose door slams shut behind you when you enter; a deep cave suddenly opening up onto an underground village; a volcanic geyser that randomly erupts, and whose eruptions you ride the wave of to escape the depths; a cave which suddenly lights up as you approach to reveal an imposing serpent who you can talk to by selecting responses from a dispenser

Just make sure the wardens are far enough away that they don’t attack the ravangers

"Some people, Scar, might fall in here and make me happy." Why is no one talking about the casual call out to how bad Scar is at parkour or paying attention to his surroundings.

Rest in Peace TFC, you will be missed

A couple of Allays would make good helpers in the ice farm during the collection phase

One cool hazard could be revealing strays from holes in the walls, their slow arrows should really mess players up trying to run from a ravager, and they make sense on a cold dungeon....

For the ice trees, they would look cool with the acacia stems rather than the quartz block, just a thought :)

Don't forget that if you have a single 0 light level spot you can put a brown mushroom in it to light it up

I just love how the Hermits are like "Take what you need for Decked Out please take it all whatever I can provide for Decked Out you can have". They love it just as much as we do!

"some people, scar, might fall in here" was the best line of this entire video. Also super excited for decked out 2, the first one was insane

I love this tango everything you do is just amazing

Looking great tango! For not being a builder you're a heck of a builder!

I still can't get over all the amazing builds Tango has done or is doing this season. I also just realized how big his base actually is after seeing that giant box in perspective to his outline... plus the amazing nether hub build AND he's doing Decked Out 2.0?! 🤯

FINALLY! SOMEONE DOES IT RIGHT! The quests work as follows you 1- look for a quest. 2- once you find a quest you put your head in the slot of the pumpkin, you then complete the quest in the same episode on camera!!!! You then take the crystal, leave your head (how do people not understand that part) and put the pumpkin into the barrel and take one shard. Of course, once you have a shard you add it to The Arch of the Champions.

Decked Out is looking amazing so far! The mobs might be spawning on the walls and falling in, since some areas don't have ceilings yet. You might want to light the ceilings up as well, so creepers don't blow up your redstone!

I am so excited for Decked Out 2… I am so freaking excited.

You should create a scroll called “Good Fortune” When your hazard bar were to get to its highest point the caves and shortcuts that would randomly close, they won’t would make it easier for the player to get away from the ravager :) hope it makes in the game

Also a ribcage that supports the ceiling would be cool, and you could have shards of "bone" sticking out from the walls.

Tango, this video is currently number 14 on trending across youtube. Congrats! Much deserved. (Edit: #15 to #14 after like an hour) (Edit 2: now it's at #9. Oh my god)

Seeing your farms work so well was incredibly satisfying. Love the originality you bring to farm designing!

When Decked Out 2 is in the testing phase you should release it to the public for a demo before releasing it to the hermits! It would allow valuable play testing and it would also build hype around it's release. Audiences would then be excited for their favorite hermits to play it after playing it themselves.

In the ice farm, add a noteblock/button you can hit after harvest that kickstart the farms again(pushes up the ice that forms in the water trough)

honestly mind-blowing how you achieve these unique tree farms 🔥

“Some people Scar might fall in” Tango you devious man

Im so incredibly hyped about hermits actually running this. The first try were always the best 😍

Tango’s tree farm is genius. So smart and I know I never thought of that.

15:40 "its a doable jump but some people scar might fall in and that'll make me happy" 😂 love that

The subtle shot at Scar was well needed. With love of course ❤️

Your could make the bottom 2 blocks on one of the trees powdered snow so that hermits can go into in and fall into a secret room with some loot, but if your clank get to high there are just a bunch of evokers down there.

Tango, YOU, my friend are the absolute, Best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ps. " Some people... Scar," had me dying of laughter

Not sure if it was a plan or not already; but instead of having to hide a ton of shulkers every week like you did previously, perhaps you can incorporate decked out boxes with the hermit quests? I'm sure KingRen would approve, and this way you could more easily make a bulk amount of boxes, and spend less time having to hide them, which might even allow you some time to enjoy the game yourself! You could still hide a few of course, but the main way to get them be from quests, its also a great alternative as the diamond pool begins to run out for quests.

Tango going "I MISSED ONE." as it cutscened was the BEST PART of the video

Can I just say I love the intro and outro music. Wish more hermits would do it. RIP Mumbo intro/outro

Watching this take shape in both vids and streams is simply fascinating and I'm loving it so much. Never a dull moment and every time I think I'm getting used to the scale and complexity, you just ramp it up another notch.

If you need to break up the cold atmosphere inside decked out, you should consider adding a lava forge with a lava river as one of the areas

Blue shell idea: Give the strongest sabotage cards exclusively from a failed run (in a section in the skill(did you rename it?) shop itself). This both offers a consolation prize to those who aren't as good (scar/not etho) and gives them more reson to stay involved. For the more experienced player it becomes a metagame decision whether to throw a run for sabotage cards?

Coffee with mr Tango and a new video is a great start to a Saturday! This is looking amazing, you’re a constant inspiration!

For those unaware: sadly, TinFoilChef passed away this morning, as his sister announced a few hours ago on Twitter.

This whole concept is so cool. Really loving your season so far, Tango.

Lol, the way the "some people, scar, might fall in there" came out so naturally and without any reaction 😂

This season, I've been watching all hermit videos, but I'd like to say just how excited I am to watch Etho do his runs in Decked Out - I seriously cannot wait. Especially now that I'm watching every Tango episode and getting a better understanding of the game, as well as seeing it in the development stage. Very exciting work, keep it up. Most of all, take care.

"Some ppl, scar..." shots fired hahaha

Hey Tango! Have you thought about including one of the towers in your base into decked out? I think it would be cool to have some sort of fortress in one of the lower levels connect to a tower going up through decked out and up into a tower in your base. It would be a cool location and feel like a bit of an Easter egg too! It might be a bit of a long walk though depending on the logistics, but it would be cool!

honestly, the glass panes in the river also look really nice aesthetically. looks like broken up ice floating down the river!

I think Adding a mix of the end rods and blue glass in the river would be a nice look! My first thought was Ice floating through the river, it looked great! It looked purposeful

Honestly, half the fun of Decked Out is watching you put it all together. Can't wait to see the other Hermits play.

"Some people Scar might fall in there." Love your work, thank you Tango.

Great video tango! As a suggestion, maybe you could ask the King to create a Decked out tribute quest into the quest dungeon? so people can help donate supplies to the build, or quests to help with farms/interior decorating and maybe you could supply the rewards?

That ice mining timelapse was super satisfying

I've had a though that perhaps there are multiple ways to different levels. Most would function as traps dragging the player upwards or downwards but could be used by a smart one to speed up their journey. Depending on Hazard some of these passages will themselves be trapped or will close up altogether. The river for instance, if you fall too deep, could drag you down one or two levels. These passages could also end in dangerous rooms to discourage use of them. The safest route would be by the default way that places you in a relatively safe room.

Advice from me is start thinking of piston based contraptions, they’ll be your best friend when it comes to an “alive” feeling dungeon that shifts with each passing intruder Research stuff like double and triple piston extenders, flush and hidden red stone designs, and piston feed tapes to create seemingly impossible appearing and disappearing walls, platforms, and doors For instance, a piston extender can easily be hidden under lava, possibly to make a tall platform appear out of it. Fence gates can be placed inside a piston feed tape for a very fancy large door that can dramatically lower block by block until it shuts

Hey Tango, have you figured out a way to make sure the wardens and ravagers from clumping up for decked out 2? Then distribute them back to a starting area for each? Perhaps for the wardens you could have a line of noteblocks go a certain way to the warden collection area (think like the lines on the floor that helps people find their way but would be sound for the wardens to follow). Then once all are collected they get redistributed throughout the level they are a part of. Could do something similar for ravagers but just have some silenced bait villagers or something for them to get collected. I just remember you having a slight problem with ravagers in the original decked out. So hopefully you already have something planned for it or maybe my ideas help! I look forward to each new episode cause it's gonna be awesome!

Great episode Tango, understandable if the next one takes a while. Rest in peace TFC o7

Soul sand next to water makes it incredibly hard to move quickly, since soul sand isn't a full block if you walk to the edge of it, it triggers walking in water speed + soul sand speed. Maybe not for the river jump but in other places it could be an effective slowing obstacle.

you should add a way down to the lower levels in the river but you take fall dmg and there is no way back up making it so they can get the lower levels faster but take dmg doing it. And kind of make it a secret so someone has to find it.

one of the ends of the river should have an underwater passage to another room, but have it be potentially long enough to drain your air bubbles right down, or have it either shut off completely or partially (so it is still usable but risks air bubbles and damage) with hazard level. this gives an option for "safe" passage from ravagers in a pinch, but there is either a risk that it is closed, or its is a conscious choice to take some damage without knowing what awaits to "escape" imminent attack

I really like the ice box design... I'm totally stealing that for my world :) Though I think I'll invert the icebox itself, so that it's pushing down, this way you don't need all the observers, and would allow for a collection system below. Can't wait to see how the new Decked Out turns out. You're a mad genius!

I encountered my very first shiny Pokémon whilst watching you. And whenever you release a video I grab my switch and watch you while I shiny hunt. To this day I’ve found over 50 shiny Pokémon while watching you. Thank you tango, for endless entertainment and shiny Pokémon

Loving the excitement you have for your project, and the new-ish farms resulting from your project needs.

13:51 Put soul on some spot at the bottom of the river, maybe the number of active soul sands can depend on the danger system.

Add a secret iron trapdoor under the river in decked out 2 that only opens late game so after u generate a lot of clunck or after a timer or stmh and u can get good rewards in there but if a ravanger chases u, u r stuck down there and forced to take damage

Tango, your brain. So so BIG. Mastermind of the universe!!! Look forward to your videos and enjoying the whole process!

"Some people, Scar, might fall in there and it will make me happy" LMAO TANGO

"But some people _-Scar-_ might fall in there" You can't argue with that callout!

you say you aren’t much of a tree guy, but you built a BEAUTIFUL tree at the center of the astral library! and these ice trees are so cute~ simple and perfect additions to your icy aesthetic! great progress, as always!

Hi Tango love your work on decked out. I have 2 ideas for it hope you’re able to see it. First is a room in the crypt which has a sorta grandiose tomb with direct access to sunlight with flowers around the tomb, thought it might look beautiful. Next is for the dead end areas to be able to be hazard blocked meaning that if anyone is unlucky enough to be trap in a dead end areas when the hazard closes it off there would be a hole opened in the ground that would send them to deeper parts of the dungeon for them to escape from the there onward

That sneaky scar at 15:42

Hey tango I don't know if you've ever heard of the backrooms but the gist is its a place with hundreds of floors of various danger levels but while you can travel in basic chronological order you could also accidentally end up going from floor 3 to floor 577 and vice versa but anyways what if there were "secret" extra deadly secret passages that are only open on some runs that may lead to certain death on level 3 of decked out in a ravanger nursery or from floor or a tunnel that leads from level 4 into a little peepy glass safe box on level 2 that only has 1 entrance on level 4 and no exit other then the way you came in.

"Some peoplescar might fall in there" LOL

“It’s not a super omega ice farm of doom” *sad iskall85 noises*

“Some ppl (Scar) might fall in” lol. Also, loving the fluffy ice trees :))

I always get so into your episodes, and when they end I'm like "that can't be all!... oh wow. it was." Time flys when you're having fun. Watching you is a great time!

use powdered snow around the edges of the river so they can't jump over at certain spots. And you get the visuals of a full block

"Some people (Scar) might fall in there, and that would make me happy." I laughed so much at that.

Tango I’m saying this once again. Wardens might not work for guards in decked out 2. They can shoot through walls and hit you from very far away, even if you do escape them! You can put wool in the walls and floors to stop them from hearing you when they shouldn’t be able to but unless you have a way to completely stop the sonic charge there might be a problem with your design.

Just before the Warden level you should have a "safe" area that feels/looks etheral like Blackreach from Skyrim so that people can take a little breather before the intense part. You should also use the nordic ruins from Skyrim as inspiration for the crypt area.

Hey Tango, unsure if you read your comments. As a software engineer, something that we do is focus on always having a releasable product, even if the deliverable isn't 100% of our final image. This allows us to ship deliverables early and often, getting our products into the hands of our users way earlier than if we had waited for the final product. This further allows us to get feedback on our "v1" which helps us to learn and make redesigns that affect future versions (earlier than if we had waited for the full final product). In this case, we'd, metaphorically, be able to build, deploy, and ship a single floor of Decked Out, while building it with the final product in mind, and leaving room for refactoring and incorporating any yet-made learnings. We'd ship the first slice of the game (possibly just first floor, or a single zone with all gameplay mechanics, or the entire dungeon but without all of the mechanics implemented yet), allow players to play and enjoy it, gather their feedback, all while continuing to build the next modular piece of the game (2nd floor, etc). We continue this trend, constantly gathering feedback, making learnings, and constantly shipping deliverable value months ahead of if we had gone with the conventional plan-build-test-ship in phases of the old school style. I hope that you can incorporate this wisdom into how you build your game. I suggest breaking it into smaller, deliverable pieces, and releasing it in phases, rather than making everyone wait until the end. You'll get feedback faster, people will be able to play it sooner, and you'll make learnings that might help prevent some mistakes that you would have otherwise only seen after completion. Cheers!

Decked out is the thing that got me watching tang tek. Its such a great game and the way he delivers it makes it so much more fun to see it being made! Keep up the great work Tango!

For the custom trees, I suggest you use smooth quarts, and then you would have a reason to make a super smelter!

YES! Glow Lichen is my favorite (and most underrated) addition in MC!

I’ve got an idea for some rooms, maybe that’s not what you were trying to achieve, but some rooms could have a meltdown or a “freeze up” at high hazard levels. Playing with lava and frost walker, you could open up and close paths, the lava will melt the ice so it could be reset each time someone leaves the dungeon. Also maybe that way you could add special areas that only uncover at determined time

That was a very nice shwoop to reveal the tree farm!
