Congrats on 500 subscribers! This number within less than 4 weeks and the (by far) best Agrarian Skies series on YouTube, that's quite an accomplishment.

Keep it going! :)

Episode 23 - Thaumcraft Aspect Blitz
In this episode, I tour my new farms, talk about some future plans, and unlock every Thaumcraft aspect in a quick blitz.

Episode 24 - Node Tapping
In this episode, I build a couple Thaumcraft devices, show off some research and scanning, and build out some platforms to get to some Thaumcraft nodes.


Past 500 subscribers! Took me about 23 days from first recording to over 500. Thank you all so much for your support!

Thank you so much! IT took me 23 days to go from 'first recording' to '500 subscribers.' I am incredibly flattered that so many people are enjoying my videos!

You are doing a great job and in my opinion indeed the best AS series. MAybe you could do an extra series with some mod in depth stuff? Not sure if people would go for it

Agrarian Skies: Hardcore Quest Episode 25 - Infusion Altar
In this episode, I poke at a Thaumcraft quest, and set up an Infusion Altar

Thank you for the compliment! I've considered doing some mod spotlights or tutorials, just haven't found the right mod for it yet. Feels like that space is kind of flooded on the YouTubes, and I did not think I had much to add to it.

Well not every spotlight is the same, people have different experiences with it. Maybe something a bit more informal / shorter? Say a 5 minute video on getting started with a mod. Not sure what your demographic is and if that would fit

Agrarian Skies: Hardcore Quest Episode 26 - Greatwood Sapling
In this episode, I make one Greatwod Sapling. It takes the entire episode, because Sky Alchemy requires crazy amounts of Essentia.

Agrarian Skies: Hardcore Quest Episode 27 - Witch Steel
In this episode, I build a witch spawner to produce gunpowder, and a Tinker's Steelworks High Oven to use that gunpowder in steel making.

Agrarian Skies: Hardcore Quest Episode 28 - Big Reactor Prep
In this episode, I plot out exactly what I need to build my first Big Reactor, create a bunch of tools to tackle the Nether safely, and go Nether mining so i can acquire those resources.

There are just 2 people to watch play AS in my opinion, yourself and BevoLJ. Bevo perhaps builds a bit prettier, but from a technical viewpoint your series is fast becoming the complete guide to AS. Informative, explained well to cater to beginners but seasoned modded players will also learn a lot from this series.

Keep up the good work Mentat, and grats on 1k!

o_O I better start updating these treads again, they are getting attention! Will happen sometime tonight.
By which I obviously meant "sometime tomorrow"

Agrarian Skies: Hardcore Quest Episode 29 - Reactor Construction
In this episode, I finish a few quests, build a Big Reactor, and set it up to automagically self-regulate.

Agrarian Skies: Hardcore Quest Episode 30 - LASERZ!
In this episode, I construct a Laser Drill, and rebuild my processing room to handle the new ore generation.

Agrarian Skies: Hardcore Quest Episode 31 - Quest Clean-Up
In this episode, I complete a number of outstanding quests, and automate more resource processing with AE, in preparation of diving into Blood Magic.

Agrarian Skies: Hardcore Quest Episode 32 - Beginning Blood Magic
In this episode, I upgrade my Blood Altar, build a system to safely supply myself with lots of LP, and upgrade my ME Network.

Agrarian Skies: Hardcore Quest Episode 33 - Master Blood Orb
In this episode, I quickly move away from the 'beginner' parts of Blood Magic, covering some sigils, the Ritual of Binding, and how to upgrade your Altar to Tier 3 and Tier 4.

Agrarian Skies: Hardcore Quest Episode 34 - Alchemistry
In this episode, I explore the Blood Magic Alchemical Chemistry Set, and make myself some cool potions.

Agrarian Skies: Hardcore Quest Episode 35 - Magic Questing
In this episode, I complete a bunch of quests in the "Yer a Wizard, Steve!" quest chain.

Agrarian Skies: Hardcore Quest Episode 36 - Bound Armor
In this episode, I automate my evil villager sacrifices, build an automated experience and blood shard farm, and show off how to build Bound Armor from Blood Magic.

When you did the BigReactor research, did you keep track of the results by any chance? Looks like the 0.2 list at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0An54qOfSiXfJdEcyaHAxWURaZTR2eEpEWEFaU0xydXc#gid=0 is completly outdated.
Of special interest would be the results for 7x4x7 or 7x5x7 reactors with different rod/coolant configurations.

Oh, ... and grats on 1.000 subscribers. :D

Unfortunately, I did not. The general results for passive reactors are that bigger is always more efficient on an infinite timescale, that Cryotheum is the absolute best coolant (this is confirmed by looking at the github), and that it is only worth building bigger if you are going to use the running time of a big one. General rule of thumb, don't build bigger than you can use the power. Once you move past 9x9x9, you start needing hundreds of hours of runtime to recoup the initial investment and start showing a profit from the extra efficiency. Also, thanks!

I've been watching your LP for the past 3 days, and I've almost caught up. so I guess I'm one of those 831 new subscribers :p
and I must say I've been really enjoying your LP.

ever thought of doing a spotlight for Big Reactors? with the recent changes of Big Reactors alot of information became outdated, and you seem to have done a pretty good research about the new version

I'm a fan of your modded news post and rely on it for my update news. Your a fan of my series. There is some sort of entertainment recursion loop happening here.

I'm going to get into doing mod spotlights moving forward. I want to do Big Reactors, but not until I fully understand the math, feel I can explain it well, and obtain the developer's permission to do the spotlight.

haha, pretty funny to see a fan meet fan

and awesome to hear you're considering doing spotlights, as you're very good in giving useful tips about mods.
heck, perhaps you can even do a Tips 'n Tricks video about Agrarian Skies filled with information about information from Agrarian Skies.
