Since my 5-Min series has moved on to a different mod pack, and Chicken Run is on hiatus, I needed a series for my FTB fix. So, in anticipation of the upcoming release of SkyFactory 4, I am piloting a new series in what I believe might be an interesting and entertaining format. Since SF4 looks to have a number of different 'challenge' modes, I thought it my best approach to recording a series would be to limit myself to a monthly challenge/scenario.

For this 'Pilot' episode, I am using the existing SkyFactory 3 and challenging myself with a unique set of preconditions.

December Challenge (Pilot): Parkour Orchard

Goal: To grow as many different saplings, from Pam's Harvest Craft mod pack, as possible.

Rule 1: (Parkour) Maximum platform size is 5x5. All platforms must have a min of 1 block empty space (ceiling to bedrock) between them; no bridges.

Rule 2: (Orchard) While you can 'buy' saplings from a 'Market' (cost 1x emerald), you cannot 'sell' saplings to obtain more emeralds. Emeralds must be generated by other means.

If you enjoy this video/challenge and would like to participate, or if you have any questions, please let me know here, or on one of my other social media outlets.

The February SkyFactory Survivor Series was plagued with a number of technical problems from Audio and Video. So I only got a couple of episodes done before I decided to cut the series.

Playing some more catch-up with my posting. Along with the Sky Factory Survivor Series, I've also been playing a lot of the newly released FTB Stoneblock 2. I've also switched over my 5-min series to a 'Quest Guide' covering all of the various quests/achievements in Stoneblock2. I also plan to look at some of the non quest items as they come up in my world (they will be under the regular '5-MIN THAT'S HOW I DID IT' roof). Here are the first 5x Quest Guides!


[STONEBLOCK 2] 5-MIN - THAT'S HOW I DID IT! - EP01 PEBBLES & COBBLESTONE (QUEST GUIDE)



[STONEBLOCK 2] 5-MIN - THAT'S HOW I DID IT! - EP02 STONE CRAFTING TABLE, CHEST & DIRT (QUEST GUIDE)



[STONEBLOCK 2] 5-MIN - THIDI - EP03 CROOKED & PHOTOSYNTHESIS IS FOR SUCKERS (QUEST GUIDE)



[STONEBLOCK 2] 5-MIN - THIDI - EP04 SILK ROAD, CLASSIC & PEAK EFFICIENCY (QUEST GUIDE)



[STONEBLOCK 2] 5-MIN - THIDI - EP05 - OAK CRUCIBLE & BALANCED (QUEST GUIDE)



Hopefully you enjoy!

Thanks!
