- Hello,
This is my epic journey through the classic old Minecraft modpack called Gregtech: New Horizons aka GTNH
But instead of playing it in a normal world, I'm playing it in a void world starting out with nothing...
Yup!
Literally, NOTHING!!!
The challenge is called "Garden of Grind"
I'm playing and recording this through the Prism Minecraft modpack Launcher.
*here's a link to the .pdf if you're crazy enough to give this challenge a go for yourself(updated!);
github.com/OrderedSet86/garde...
Thanks for watching me suffer lols!
🤣
#gregtech #skyblock #oldminecraft - Hry
Dude, the fact that you have no clue what you're doing yet you've still gotten this far is actually inspiring.
What do you mean I’m a pro haha
You put the vent on the pipe what do you mean you’re a pro
He was being sarcastic
Oh god, this man is playing gtnh without knowing any of gregtech
God bless his way
Gregtech go brrr
And as a skyblock challenge.
just a little advice about the experience berries, there is no benefit to waiting till stage 4 to harvest them. They yield the same amount of berries on stage 3 due to them being poorly coded by the mod author; furthermore, you do not need to place skeleton skulls underneath them as it literally does nothing despite the tooltip saying otherwise. (source: we decomp'd the IC2 crop code)
Ohh ok, noted.
I have somewhat kind of noticed this when harvesting them.
Good to know, thanks!
:)
does this apply to all the other tinkers construct berries too?
@@poper7534 unfortunately no
I like that you call Thaumium "Thorium" every time
The watertank generates water based on biome humidity! You might want to consider moving your tank to a river biome.
He is in a single biome world.
The whole world is a grassland(superflat preset)
I mean the grassland humidity is 70% and that's really not bad. Sure more is better but above 60% is pretty tolerable until you get better water gen
It struck me as a bit odd that you were calling so many incredibly mundane things "op," but now that I know that you know very little about the hellscape you're diving head first into it makes a lot more sense. Looking forward to more, keep up the good work and try not to burn out
Considering the amount of Iron you can get at the moment, you could make a Railcraft Iron Tank to store Steam. This way the tank will act as a kind of Battery for your machines, so the boilers can store up extra steam and then you can use multiple machines at the same time with less boilers.
And a tip for when you progress further into Steam and even LV age. get a bigger room and don't build yourself into a corner. Plan out the machines you can use on the same wire and Steam Turbine since there is Cable loss (you lose EU/t the further your cables go). I usually clump all my machines together and then find out I am out of space to expand comfortably.
Also the biggest Tip I could ever give in a GregTech modpack is. Always check Chunk Borders when building GregTech Multiblocks. as they can void recipes if the machines stop working, and being in 2 chunks at the same time causes some wierd stuff to happen. So always keep your multiblocks Chunk Aligned as a rule of thumb :D
ps. Loving the content you put out
Thanks for the tips, it’s definitely on my list of things to do for steam storage.
I’ve already been messing around with it on my test world(expensive but 100% worth it I think)
Ok, from now on I’ll hit F9 and make sure I’m chunk aligned just in case.
Cheers!
;)
@@gardenofgrind chunk alignment is not a big deal at all if your base is chunkloaded. I would advise just chunkloading your whole base and you will never have a problem.
this is my favourite thing to watch on youtube right now, I have been looking for someone that does modded content in a relaxing way! Thanks for the content keep it up :)
Awesome!
Thanks for the support
I would also recommend Threefold, doing GTNH right now too
Very important: you can force a direction of pipes for fluids and items, this prevents things going back and is less laggy when the system become big, it should be shift+right click on the pipe. That overlay with the little boxes you see when you hover a wrench on a pipe helps you in choosing the direction.
I suggest you try to make the tinker smeltery multiblock as it can break down armors with the same efficiency as macerators and you can cast the molten metal to ingot directly. It requires lava to function so maybe a nether portal should be next big milestone to reach. I honestly don't know what would be the fastest way to lava production in a gregtech skyblock
There is an advanced version of each steam machine and some multiblock machines that use steam too
For generation, the solar boiler is good as it is passive and the only annoying thing is that it slowly calcifies and loses efficiency, breaking and replacing it fixes the problem (with a wrench remember :D ). Again, if you can make lava, it is a good source of energy.
In general, a higher tier machine is more efficient than a lower tier machine and multiblocks are better than single block machines.
If you need a charcoal production, the charcoal pit is somewhat easy to make, it requires a lot of bricks which might be a problem for a skyblock world.
I think you should use the rewards from the quests since they aren't that special. You could make an arbitrary rule that the loot bags must be opened only if upgraded (which needs an item corresponding to that loot bag type and a fortune III book) as a way to limit their hypotetical power. GTNH is one of the most balanced packs in regards to Quest Book balance and all the trades have a cooldown, especially the important ones, and are unlocked after you should have no problem aquiring that item, especially for the tech parts. The coins seem OP but the quantity of items you get becomes progressively more negligible the more you go on. They are ther just to smooth out the experience a bit.
Loving the series despite the wall of text XD
What a read…
:D
Thanks for the comment, appreciate that!
Great help
The magic metal berry produces thaumium with a block of iron under. It is a metal from the mod thaumcraft. It is pretty useful, as you can make some pretty good armor with it.
Keep in mind with GTNH that there are often times multiple Machines that can output the same item. In some cases one machine will give you a higher yield than another. Checking nei is an important part of GTNH. For example, 1 obsidian block into a macerator = 1 obsidian dust. If you put that same obsidian in a alloy smelter with a ingot mold, you'll get 8-9 obsidian ingots that can then be macerated into 8-9 obsidian dust. This will be important tip down the line ;-)
No way, actually doing GregTech in a series about a GregTech pack?
Can you believe it?!
this series gives me so much nostalgia for the old minecraft modded days. so good!! thank you :D
That's awesome!
Nothing beats a bit of good old nostalgia right...
:P
Steam machines dont blow up in rain, it states "electrical" machines
You could rotate machines with shift+rightclick and just put steam vent holes in front... but BEWARE!, steam punches ~3 hearts when recipe ends if you are in the way of steam burst.
Also, you could use pipes as steam buffer,
Also, shift+righclick on pipe with wrench prevents liquids from going in that side, and imprpves throughput a LOT.
Impressive how you made such a large path there
I am absolutely loving this series!
One note - if you can find some music you can use for free, putting music behind the montages would probably take those sections of the video to the next level.
ncs no copyright music
it's a big yt channel dedicated to exactly that
congratulations maaan!! big step for a skyblock challenge
Please please keep posting content, not enough gregtech content out there! Watch out for burnout, and go at your own pace!!!
Thanks!
Don’t worry I’m having way too much much fun
Also please make GT ULV tank for XP, 32 buckets with autofill option make things a lot easier
Ahh mate, I thought those steam outputs were where I should face my pipe inputs too! I wonder if I could predict any mistakes that may come. After I get caught up
It surprises me how you know so much and at the same time so little about the modpack and how much you have done so far. In a future when you reach lv, you can centrifuge stone dust to get other dusts wich you can also centrifuge for other useful dusts. Keep up the good work i love this serie
It's Thaumium as in Thaumcraft not Thorium as in Thor the thunder god of north mythology
Thorium is a real life radioactive material
lmao, north mythology.
It is technically in the north but there are a lot of things in the north.
@@tl1326so you're telling me norse and north are not the same thing, just as Thaumium and Thorium are not the same thing? Crazy! 😅
Oh goodie, another episode! Just finished binging this series yesterday :>
If you can, I would recommend making an array of Coke Ovens, and setting up fluid pipes to some liquid boilers (when you get them) so that the boilers will be automated (if you have some wood or coal to burn of course)
Just want to say its really motivating to watch you and how much fun u even have after this amount of grind and pain keep on if ur able too but dont overdue urself ull just get a burnout.
Bro, i have done all of Greg in ATM9, played quite a bit of Nomi and wouldnt dare touch GTNH. and you are just out here on hardmode xD love it
If you drop the boiler on the ground and pick it up again, you should get a trophy for it. Some of the major tech progression items give trophies but you have to pick them up off the ground to get it to register.
don't forget to save your recipes in the worktable by right clicking them. when you go above 9 unique recipes it will start overriding previous recipes if you dont save them
Cheers for that!
;)
reminds me of when i first started gregtech
Cool!
It's very obvious you've done a lot of research already, considering how fast you got those steam machines up and running. Most people really struggle with getting those set up for the first time!
With the help of a macerator and a tinker's smeltery, you can obtain steel. However, you need aluminum first. Recycle the chainmail armor in a macerator, after which it can be smelted in a tinkers' smeltery and poured into ingot casting molds. You will also need a source of fuel, such a lava, for your (future)Tinkers' smeltery.
AFAIK, steel dusts do not melt in TiC smeltery, also lava is currently not available
@@isadora-6th It is works in GTNH. You literally need to melt steel in the Tinkers' smeltery in order to progress through the modpack.
@@isadora-6th Lava is going to be a huge problem. It can only be obtained reasonably in the nether. Obsidian is needed to get into the nether, but I don't know how to get it. Is this a dead end? I really don't see any to get steel ingots. PBF will be impossible to build in this challenge.
@@user-gh1of9xo1d villager sometimes sell Lava Combs that using LV centifuge can be extracted to get lava bucket
@@user-gh1of9xo1dlava is possible with forestry and thaum. Read the document
I found this series quite enjoyable to watch in the evening :)
That’s awesome, glad that you’re enjoying it
Well, you will likely need more that one water tank, so it's not wasted. Also, solar boiler OP. And your steam room is a bit tiny + steam machines do not need to be covered. So when you will be building LV room, consider something bigger, a way to access at least 2 sides of a machine easily (often top+bottom) and a compartment for all the wire mess you will inevitably have.
Some of the first machines you want to make are forge hammer (better plate recipe), compressor you need to make a forge hammer, and I'm not sure, but alloy smelter might give you better bronze recipe, and you will need a lot of bronze.
What you want to consider doing if you get reasonable amount of iron (several stacks at least) is RC tank to buffer steam you are making with solar boilers.
Steam wise I’d highly recommend solar boilers if you can get silver from villager trades,
Wow, I literally finished the last episode last night and woke up to this
Love this content. Not really gregtech guy, but it's looks like very interesting
now you have to go trough the blast fornace good luck
With iron now being dirt cheap (tho I suppose dirt is not so easy to come by...) It's definitely in your best interest to get a railcraft iron tank multiblock to buffer steam, it will be immensely helpful until you get a better steam source.
While it is good practice, there's no need to protect the steam machines from the rain, it's the electric ones that are at risk. Regardless, the water tanks produce more water when uncovered, and you do NOT want to get short on water while a boiler is hot , EVER
The way fluid pipes work is somewhat unintuitive compared to other mods!
You can configure any pipe block with a wrench using right click on different parts of the block.
Right click connects or disconnects the affected side and Shift right click prevents fluid entering from that side, but still let's it exit trough it, otherwise fluids can just go back and forth through the pipes, so it's common practice to wrench all pipes.
Remember to take breaks and have a good day!
You should make a steam alloy smelter to make bronze a bit cheaper. Great video, love the series
This is probably the part of the playthrough where, because you're finally Gregging, you might want to look at the UU-Tex texture pack that updates/unifies the Greg textures. Even the huge multiblocks that you won't get for a year are beautified by it. I personally use the default UU-Tex and then the patched one on top of it. Some love it, some don't, but I figured you might want to at least know it exists.
333 days in, its time for gregtech to begin. lets goo
It's hilarious how you made the steam correctly escape to the back side, then immediately switched the pipes around to block the back side.
That sharpness is because of your insane amount of modifier slots you have. Thats why modern tinkers construct has removed leveling tools
Levelling was never part of tinkerers, it's an addon that was used in nearly every pack but wasn't continued past 1.12
i dont know if getting iron with xp is better or worse than building an iron farm i remember them being a pain to build and that is with a normal door crafting recipe.
An iron farm is well… unfortunately terrible in 1.7.10
@gardenofgrind the gold spikes from Extra Utilities 2 drop EXP
i JUST finished watching the last episode lesgoooooooooooo
Watertank ge erates significantly more water when it rains, but will pasively generate water based on biome humidity. I recomend building multiple when you can. I also think they MIGHT produce faster if you have water source blocks around the base of the tanks? Not sure, been a while since my GTNH days
LETS GO, another Episode
You can more quickly apply modifier materials if you compress them first. Just make sure you keep a bit uncompressed otherwise you won't be able to max it all the way out.
would you consider uploading the full vods from the montages? I think it would be great second monitor content/before bed content.
Congrats on bronze edging. Such a thrill
It's been a while since I've played GTNH so I don't know if they've changed it but I remember the day counter starts at Year 0 Day 0, so you're around about day 660+? Idk lol
Not sure if it's in this pack but see if you can make a bending machine, it should give you a better rate for plates and stuff than the forge hammer.
Also, try holding shift and clicking the berries. It might eat them faster.
I believe bending machine is gated behind LV, so forge hammer it is at this point
can you turn snow into water? because a snow golem should theoretically make infinite snow. though i wouldnt know how it works in gregtech
Consider making alloy smelter to make 4 bronze ingots instead
Cheers for the tip!
you can make a Twilight forest portal and mine ore there and you can use thaumcraft to restore durability
the quartz thing is definitely a really old tconstruct bug, its supposed to take 360 quartz to get maximum sharpness on that leveled up tool but it was just taking 1 per level instead of i think 80
Regular nether quartz improves the quartz counter by only 1 while Certus Quartz is more efficient. It is one of the only useful things you can do with it in the very early stages of the game. He probably didn't realize but he used up all the modifier slots he had left and now to get more he'll need to level up the tool again. Fortunately he's using a low tier material so the xp needed per level is lower and he probably doesn't feel like he's slowing down with the leveling.
If i remember correctly, you can consume entire stack of xp berries, if you hold shift.
Might save some lifespan for your mouse
I tried that, doesn’t work…
@@gardenofgrind this is a feature that was just recently backported, its included in the newest "beta" version of the pack :D
@@souhhvy Ohh that’s good, so essentially it’s a future update feature
;)
@@souhhvy gregtech devs are smarter and care more than actual triple A devs I swear
I'm very confused why you wouldn't make a Tinker's Bone Sword and level it in the mob farm and then add Quartz to that instead of the mattock. If you had kept the leveled modifiers on the Mattock, you could have made it unbreakable. Also, Steam machines can be in the rain, they don't explode.
Cause my mattock is leveled up and it has a base of 6+ attack damage which is on par with a vanilla iron sword.
Not only that I can also use the mattock for mining, farming etc…
But now it has 21+ attack damage it’s gonna be with me for awhile I thinks
Time to consume some good content!
You should make a coke oven to get more bang out of yer coal
oh and pretty sure blaze rods are furnace fuel too!
If you can make a macerator you could macerate the armor drops to get iron ingots
Finally some tech
Things will hopefully get less painful now
It doesn't get less painful until at least lv, steam age doesn't really have any automation
Yaaaay i love it
will you ever consider streaming this?
Cabt you pour a iron Block in tinkers if you can get a smelter?
I think the problem is getting lava?
@@skyjoe55 yep. Getting lava in GoG is very difficult, as you need to trade with a villager for a specific comb and then you need a centrifuge to get lava out of it
Tinker's toolstation allows you to rename stuff for free , so how about naming your mattock after the person who told you how to make it insanely sharp ?
Good idea, but there name is just user(numbers, oof!)
if you dispense the cookie arrows into yourself you get a diamond upon the hit im pretty sure...
Seriously…?!
Ok, this seems… err interesting
due to how level scaling works, 0 levels is basically as close to 71 levels as 10 levels is
You can get like more than 400 sharpness lvls i got that once with a reward so i think you should create a mega weapon with like 50 attack damage
Please please please do not forget to pick up your machines with a wrench!
Yeah, small piles are 1/4th a pile, tiny piles are 1/9th a pile
never and this series you will become really big if you just complete 20% of GregTech
40:15 Why youtubers don't read text that contains very important information?
Learning to read Waila and NEI is a surprisingly difficult skill
May sound a bit odd, but is English your first language?
Yes, I’m English(Cornish to be exact) but I live in France and speak it a little.
;)
@@gardenofgrind Thanks for the insight!
Part 10 when?
You should've made the steam forge hammer before the compressor, since it converts ingots into plates 3 to 2 instead of 2 to 1
Edit: pardon me, i didn't realize you couldn't craft the iron blocks without the compressor
If you want more loot from mobs, you can use lapis on your tinker tools to get looting/fortune
If you want to macerate a bunch of stuff at once you could use a steam macerator multiblock(forgot it's name)
It should do 8 at a time, though i'm unsure if it works with unstackable items like armor
You could also make a steam oven multiblock which smelts 8 at a time
Alloy smelter can help you make bronze at a more favorable rate
@@phagesuffersatgaming.3797 steam grinder is the multi you're thinking of, and it works with any macerator recipe
Yes
when do you think you are gonna start making stuff with bees
how do you get bees in skyblock?
@@tetrikitty1686 initially via questbook purchases. its explained in more detail in our doc that he has linked in the description :D
From what I know, the bees can only be started by using quest rewards, this is something I’m staying clear of.
But this doesn’t mean I won’t try other ways of obtaining them(from future updates on the pack)
@@gardenofgrind not quest rewards, but the actual coin shop thats within the questbook itself.
@gardenofgrind you need bees to progress in this challenge, while I admire your goal of not using quest rewards, I'd seriously recommend you prepare for having to use them at some point soon to progress further

Feed me more content
Day 2 of asking
@gardenofgrind could you make enormous gigantic mega base which takes up 63by63 region files which has outside and inside decoration, houses, pathways/streets, signs, parks ETC...?
Love your content, you’re very captivating as a creator but please limit the use of “actually” 😂
in the pic it said "160+ for this" and just showed a few steam machines and i was like "meh - i did it in like 40" and then i clicked the video and noticed its skyblock wtf
who would force themselves to play gtnh on skyblock what the hell
Oof!
