You should use barracks instead of guard towers, they can store 20 guards at max. There are two structures, the guard towers and the main barracks building. The amount of towers and the level you can get them to are dependent on the level of the main barracks structure, and for each level of the tower you can have one additional guard. Edit: Also, I am pretty sure barracks and guard towers placed on the edge of a colony expand the border the most of any structure. Can't wait for the arty to happen
That whole incident around 18:36 was hilarious, I love it. I am curious though, how did that part of the drawbridge get in that position in the first place?
Actually Minecolonies itself adds a recipe for tall grass. By combining two short grass, you get one tall grass. JEI is your friend. Also the best way to expand the colony is with guard towers. Each guard town expands the border by two chunks and if I'm not wrong, upgrading said towers expands the range. Tho you may have been talking about increasing the population? Colonists do that by themselves. As long as there is enough houses, new colonists will be born. The population is capped though. That cap can be expanded through University research, all the way up to 500 colonists (depending on your configs. 250 is the default max). I think it goes 25, 50, 150 or something along those lines? I'd say, that building a university is essential. The majority of buildings are locked behind research (including the smelter (which can x3 your ore input) or the sawmill). There's a lot of combat research aswell that makes your guards stronger. While armor and weapons scale with guard tower level, things like shields or plate mail is locked behind research. Also also, I think you can only have 1 colony per player. So your idea of a remote logging colony may not be feasible.
Builders can be taught 2x2 recipes (the amount of recipes is limited, I think it's 10 per builder hut level) Similarly Sawmills can be taught 3x3 recipes (with similar recipe limits per Sawmill hut level) The 1 colony per player is just a default, there is a config option to change that to infinite (too many colonies could cause issues though, hence why the default is 1 per dimension per player, though the logging colony doesn't technically have to be an actual colony, depends whether or not Sbeev wants the colonists to be doing the logging or if it will just be a create setup [the latter of which will buildup resources faster])
@@YoYoK3nny I'd believe that the recipes doubles per level. So at 1 it's 2, at 2 it's 4 and so on. There's research to increase the value though. I'd think the sawmill starts with more recipe slots than the Builder . Which makes sense, the Builder only make stuff for building while the Sawmill provides for the entire colony, hence needing more recipes. I didn't know there was a config to increase colonies per player. That's probably something Sbeev should look into to make his plan for this work.
@Sbeev: You can place waypoints along the paths you intend the colonists to follow. They try to take the shortest path, but will prioritise any path that has waypoints along it. For the drawbridge, these waypoints will also need to be glued and then have the drawbridge only place the blocks when in the initial position (so that the waypoints on the bridge are only working while the bridge is down) Tip: there should be at least 1 decoration available that the builders can build so that the waypoints are correctly placed (if you can see the waypoint without the goggles on I don't think they will function)
Honestly man, how do you build so much in just a week and not be utterly burnt out at the end of it? It's insanely impressive to see every week; above all keep it up man!
If you build gaurd towers at the border of your colony they will expand your border by 1 chunk per level, so at level 5 it will have expanded by 5 chunks per tower. You cant have too many guards Building a warehouse and couriers will cut the amount of time you have to spend delivering items massively, as long as the items are in the warehouse.
Awesome video as always! Can't see any comment saying how to get tall grass so: You can only get them in chests in villages and it's quite a rare item (It's the same for tall fern too!) Of course both items can be "made" with bonemeal, but to get the physical item, chests are the only way at the moment :)
Loved the video @Sbeev! Can't wait for the next video man! I did some "Research" on MineColonies myself (Namely, looking at the Wiki) and I might have the Solution to most of your Problems! The Main thing is that your Colonists Building Speed is too slow or you don't have Enough Guards or even that the Guards can't Wear Iron Armor or not even a Single Colonist can use Iron Tools can be Solved by Researching for Better things. This can all be done with the University! Once you've got the University Built, you can Research for all Improvements in your Colonists (Including Health, Speed and Job Speed) as well as Newer Buildings like the Barracks and Accompanying Barracks Towers (Up to 4 per Barracks). Your Archers can be Trained at the Archery and Knights at the Combat Academy. Each Barracks Tower Increases the Amount of Guards at the Barracks by 5 per Level for a Maximum of 20 Guards with 4 Level 5 Barracks Towers. The Best way I can see to Utilize the Guards is to have 1 Knight and 4 Archers for Each Tower, almost like you're playing Mount and Blade: Bannerlord or Something. These Builds will Increase the Area of your Colony significantly, a Level 3 Barracks alone Covers 140 Chunks. I'll have to Double check the Wiki for The Entire Coverage Per Level, but this just gives you an Idea as to how great things will get once you start Researching Things for your Colonists. Let me know what you think about this and I'll catch you in your next video man!
If they didn't change it colonists will go by the shortests path regardless of terrain resistance. So unless you fence the entire shore no tunnel will work, They should use the bridge if you do tho.
That's how things work when waypoints aren't used. If there are waypoints along the intended route they will prioritise them. Not sure how that will work while the drawbridge is up... I expect some weird shenanigans, though it should work perfectly as long as the blocks are only placed while the drawbridge is down (including the waypoint block [which is invisible when placed by the builder])
Did you know that if you use liquid honey and lava you can make a lime stone generator just like a cobblestone generator assuming you have the right create mod
I love your building style. If you put a filter on your basin for the output you want then you won't have recipe conflicts. Build guard towers on the edge of your colony to expand the borders like @Cookieboi658 mentioned.
Use large water wheels much more efficient for 8 extra planks . Also if while cutting trees with a saw you link up two trees with logs it will be treated as a single tree. Also use create enchant ment industry and other addons for create.
I dunno if you do this in a later video or not but you need a warehouse and a delivery service, the delivery service will transfer items between other buildings and the warehouse. they also provide food to houses if you have a baker
Go back to his first video, he probably said what version it is. Otherwise, he said it was very similar to a modpack made by mrbreadcraft, which is on curseforge, so u can look up the version there to get a better idea.
i just watched all the episodes from 1 to this one and i have one question. why are you using diamond tools?? like episode 2 you determined that tungsten was the same as diamond but gave you a strength buff, but then immediately ditched it for weaker materials
I dont know much about the mods in the pack so i can nto really say if there is another way to get tall grass, but in Vanilla Minecraft the only way to get tall grass as an item is to find it as a rare item in savanna village chests.
I don't know if 1RPM is the minimum, but it's possible you may be able to get it even lower by using a gear ratio or adjustable chain gearshift from a source running at 1RPM
Make a wall around your colony itll keep out all most anything and place gard towers around it and you can make a creat door on it like the creat mod but it's not available on xbox
You can't tell me this guy does not sound like Technoblade the legend! Just something I noticed, btw I have been very interested in this series so keep the work up man!
how does the draw bridge stay in the angled position? if im trying to do it, the bridge is turned back into solid blocks an oriented in the minecraft way

I think I need to research the barracks in the university first but then I'll definitely build some
Yeah, guard towers expand double other building, 2 chunks per level
You mentioned cannons briefly, Create: Big Cannons might be worth looking into, a lot of (somewhat chaotic) fun!
he has it in the pack i think
thank you for explaining so much! it feels like most of the Mine Colony things just assume you now how it works. oh and the draw bidge was so cool!

@@AlexJones-qf7rw And if the builder has been taught that recipe they will craft it themselves when needed.
