Insane Plantation Build – Sjin’s Byzantine Minecolonies!

Hello and welcome back to mine Colony Byzantine Yeah so basically last episode we finished up the retail district and I was going to decorate things but we also got sidetracked and built a pretty cool Aqueduct so what I’ve done is take a look kind of decorated and neatened up

The way the aqueduct interacts with the hospital District so as you can see there’s some retaining walls here and it’s much neater now if we come over to the retail District you can see there is a lot of work to do here and I kind of ran out of

Time to actually get this place up and running so don’t worry we’re going to do it but I don’t think it’s going to going to be until next episode because this episode what we’re doing is we’re moving back over to the agricultural District there’s a lot of land out here

That a needs clearing and B needs some things like plantations and Farms now there’s lots of Plantation fields to go down so we’re going to have to clear this area around using my new pxel and that sounds pretty tasty doesn’t it but there’s also a little hidden surprise if

We look over here let me take a look what’s the zoom key there we go there’s a well over there and you guys in the comments section said at the center of the well the gravel in the middle looked particularly suspicious so what we’re going to do is get an archaeology brush

Brush it up and see what we can find oh no what’s going on here oh all right yeah so it looks like while we’re up here in the tower the Builder has finished building the warehouse but when he completed it it looks like he broke some ladders and now we’re kind of

Stuck up here oh no what are we going to do do oh wait of course I know what we’re going to do we’re going to jump off because I’ve got no fall damage oh yeah anyway let’s go over to home and see if we can make an architect’s brush

So what are we looking for well we’re looking for an architect’s brush that’s right it’s not called anything apart from a brush and it needs copper a stick and Feathers looks like I’ve got all of those things perfect so yeah it was over here somewhere there’s a well and inside

The well is suspicious gravel I can’t remember what exactly is inside suspicious gravel but I guess we’re going to find out pretty quickly maybe we’ll find like a T-rex skull or maybe an ancient holy book written on Golden Plates who knows it could be that right no very unlikely that stuff doesn’t

Happen in real life oh waa what’s this oh man I didn’t even realize but there’s a a dungeon here can we dig away this uh this cobweb yes we can what the hell is down here bit of an exploration but I don’t mind that oh wait it looks

Like this leads down to the spider cave so I hate spiders let’s block this up quick as you like and we’re not going to bother with that anytime soon in fact I might cover this over and try and forget it exists so where is this well well well well where are you

Well no here it is right so we’ve got our brush and is this suspicious gravel yes it is and something is being uncovered from the gravel what is it ooh it’s a brewer Pottery Shir what the hell is that what is it used for nothing what are the recipes

Brushing oh you know what I have no idea what this does so let me know in the comments section what this Brewer Pottery shirt does cuz it’s from vanilla Minecraft right so I should know but is there any more suspicious gravel what about this one o this one’s suspicious

As well what’s inside right here oh could it be it is suspicious stew well I’m not going to eat any stew that I found in gravel from 10,000 years ago so I guess we’re going to leave it there so take a look at this ripe area it’s a big

Old wooded forest that is in need of clearing out and I’m going to show you exactly how quickly I can clear this out using my diamond paxel because basically yeah with modern Minecraft and ultim mine clearing out an area has never been easier it’s so simple so quick it’s not

A problem whatsoever so I’ll tell you what I’m going to get to work with this paxel maybe speed up the footage as well and show you guys exactly just how long it takes so honestly it was quite quick digging up all these trees and clearing out all these bushes one of the big

Problems though is that in this modded Minecraft version or maybe it’s in vanilla now the problem was when saplings fall to the floor they kind of plant themselves and so by the time I dug up all the trees I had to come back and then dig up the saplings that had

Grown but it wasn’t too bad didn’t take me too long so the trees went away pretty quickly honestly digging those was not a problem at all but the big problem was going to be this weird little Hill that’s right next to the Foresters Hut it’s got to go because I

Need that space for buildings but again using the paxel it’s super quick to even destroy a hill this size which is amazing because with a regular axe or pickaxe or shovel it would take me forever to get rid of this hill honestly ultim mine really does save the day and

So here is a finished look of our cleared out area now this all in all took me about 30 minutes to take care of and I almost completely broke my diamond paxel but we’re done now and it’s time to go in here and look at what we’re

Going to do with the plantation oh man so look at my backpack now it is full to the brim with all of these junk seeds and berries oh but lots of roses they’ll come in handy decorating the colony right so this episode what we’re going to be doing is trying to make the

Plantation now I have a very specific design in mind for the plantation basically what I want is the plantation quite high up on the mountain right in the middle then we’re going to have kind of like minth cascading retaining walls around the bottom that go all the way up in

Like a pyramid and on each different level we’re going to have different kinds of Plantation field now to work out how much space we need for this Plantation first we have to go over and build the building now I’ve switched out my melons for Bak potatoes cuz they last

A little bit longer and I had loads of them so you know what they’re a bit of an upgrade from melon slices so here we go over to home and let’s make the plantation block but first up yeah get rid of all of this stuff in my computer so yeah in

The comment section do let me know what I’m supposed to do with that weird clay thing that I found yeah the Brewer Pottery Shard do let me know what I’m supposed to do with that and I will like and hard the comment all right so there’s Plantation field and there’s

Plant PL the plantation itself requires Cactus planks and a build tool so I can make one of those I might make two but maybe down the line now we’re going to need a whole bunch of these fields as well so let’s take a look yeah one 2

Three and I’ve run out of Oak planks for some reason no worries and four and that’s where we’ll start we’ll have four fields to begin with and then maybe work from there so the plantation is very different to how I remember it last time I played mine colonies the plantation had an option

Where you could choose either to use sugar Cactus or something else I don’t know but basically it didn’t have that much functionality but now the plantation is very very very different and man oh it’s so nice to have a massive amount of flat space to work

With let’s get the build tool out and see if we can look at what the plantation looks like so it’s in agriculture horiculture Plantation oh look at this so it’s rare but we’ve got an alternative version here as well so this is plantation number one looks pretty cool spin it

Around yeah pretty basic this will look great up on the hill and it looks like this at level one 2 3 4 5 wow oh man yeah this is a goodl looking Building look at the TLC that’s gone into those trees pretty fantastic but what does the

Alternative one look like oh my God wao this is exactly what I was talking about so this kind of Plantation Cascades down in a kind of almost default pyramid looks amazing much more ambitious than the first which is why I’m already leaning towards it so Al Plantation

Level one 2 3 4 5 oh yeah you know what it’s absolutely zero contest this is the one we want on top of the hillside so what we’re going to do now is angle this up onto the hill push it back a bit push it back a lot and then raise it

Up and don’t worry well it looks like it’s going to be like a bit of a floaty nightmare at the moment what we are going to do oh wait hang on a sec well we’ve got to be careful here because this is outside the colony boundary so

We’re going to move it over to the left have it up there on the hill on the hillside there and then have it Cascade down to the right I guess that could look pretty cool anyway that looks incredibly high up but don’t worry with retaining walls this is going to look

Really cool and we’re going to Cascade it down with loads more Plantation fields around the outside so I’ll put this to level one and let’s get a look at this from over here on this guard Tower oh yes so we’re going to pull it away from the

Mountain side just a little bit cuz we don’t want to impact the mountain too much but that looks pretty good right there yeah and then we’ll have all the fields that Cascade down this way this is going to be amazing can I reach it oh got to reach

Pretty far yeah got it okay so build options and we’re going to get I think Leo on this because Jensen is still working on the warehouse maybe now the materials aren’t crazy but again it’s level one so no surprise there and then we can work out what we’re doing because

Basically once this is in position I need to start putting down the fields but before we do that let’s take a look at what these fields look like and what kind of options the plantation gives us it’s not in Plantation the fields so where are the fields are they in

Decoration no maybe they’re in infrastructure unlikely oh no they are Fields boom here we go so we’ve got Plantation Fields right here and oh my God there’s a few of these now we got to think about this what is the most important thing on our colony to build Cactus is always

Essential and this is what the cactus field looks like oh my God wait a minute this might actually be modular but either way this is very discreet for a field this is going to be yeah really really powerful we can have a few of these and get loads and loads of Cactus

Amazing and it only has one level that’s good too so that’s what a cactus field looks like okay what about bamboo oh my God bamboo as well looks super super super simple it’s just basically a piece of wool oh my God this is going to make the plantation field so much easier to

Use a cocoa field again it’s just a piece of wall oh man so the plantation is really really really modular that’s really good to know although it is making me worry now that the plantation is in the wrong place basically if this is over there on the left we cannot

Build anything over on top of well basically yeah the Foresters HUD because that’s going to ruin things so what I’m going to do is I’m going to put down a guard Tower right in the middle over here we can make it like a bit of a figure piece but basically but basically

We need to expand and gather all of these Rogue chunks over here into the colony otherwise we can’t do this any justice so I’m going to cancel a plantation build and get that guard Tower into position okay so Leo got this up pretty quickly and now it’s level three let’s

See how far this guard tower has pushed out the borders for us oh yeah now it’s not quite as much as I’d hoped I could use another chunk or two in that direction but oh for now this will actually be okay yeah so let’s try and put the plantation down in the middle

Now and get this sorted correctly so yeah when you take a closer look at the edges of your Plantation you can see that this thing is very much designed to be so we don’t want it really that high up on the mountain because it’s going to

Look very weird this is quite a nice height though and as you can see the edges are basically tailored so that you can put those walls around the edge that are going to be the plantation Fields so it’s getting late so I better commit I reckon we’re going to go okay with this

Get Leo on the job and then we’ll watch this thing being built oh my God no there’s no time to spare we cannot watch this thing being built it’s time to Rally the guards and see what’s going on so um hm where are The Barbarians going to come from I’m

Going to try and just leave my guards to it see if they can hold off this raid I’ve got a sword and I can lend a hand just in case but I do want to let my guards go through their paces and see if they’ve got what it takes to hold off

Without me so they’re coming from the Northwest that is Northwest oh oh my God that’s a lot of that’s a lot of Barbarians how many guards do we have I don’t know if we have enough um yeah look at all these dudes hiding away in their house well there’s only

One thing for it now I’m going to sleep through the night because that’s a great way to yeah just make sure my guys don’t die from Monsters oh man it’s the first raid in a long time and oh my God these guys are not here to play a huge horde

Of Raiders okay rise and shine have they started to move yet yes and they’re coming for the hospital well okay let’s go up there and see if we can help defend now we don’t have a waypoint up at the hospital uh that’s a bit of a shame but

We should be able to get over there pretty quick let make sure I’m topped up on food amazing okay so let the barbarians come man it’s just like barbarians to go for the hospital first Target the weak and the sick well I’m not going to let

You Pals got my sword you’re not going to kill any dudes today so here they come already uh and my guards are not responding not really um oh my God there’s so freaking many oh we are not set up for this but look this

KERO bits is here to save the day and so is Witchy wolf Fester brand new guard now I don’t know if they have a sword or not oh they got a bow but do you have any arrows oh this could be bad this could be real

Bad oh my God she’s a terrible shot let’s say let’s save her life I think there we go oh my God these barbarians have 41 Health I’ll be back I’ll be back these guys are nuts wiy wolf are still going for it now where are The Barbarians going to now oh

My God they’re swarming over to the retail District but usagi B is on the case I think we’re going to lose one or two knights today my guys go on witchy wolf oh yes oh my God this is embarrassing to watch my guys are terrible

Shots yeah there’s no way I can let my guards do their own defending here because if I do I’ll lose all of my colonists we are not prepared for the level of Barbarian raids that we’re getting right now so way more guards is something we’re going to need oh man and

I thought I had too many I was so so so wrong so where are they coming from the retail district is where they were going to we can take the new Act quu Railway system oh my God looks like The Barbarians are taking it

Too go on Lads get them oh my God these guys are actually pretty solid the ones with the armor and the shields are at least yeah take him down I’ll be back very nice okay where are the Raiders now we oh look at this look at the top so we’ve we’ve gone

Through almost all of the Raiders this is amazing work dudes so there’s a few over there across the aqueduct including the chief that’s where he is well let’s get over the aqueduct now oh no they’re coming here we go oh my God witch you wolf you’re so brave Uncle guy to the

Rescue though go on take him down I think we could lose Uncle guy here oh my God he’s getting Mobbed oh but the cavalry’s arrived Paul Bigglesworth son five Raiders left random nerd dragon breathing fire on these suckers oh oh I think we got it I think we’ve done it oh my God yeah look at this the knights have arrived the Cavalry is here

Aha the last guy is over there ah so he’s in this Cavern right next to the hospital this is where he’s been hiding man like a coward he’s tried to build a ladder to get out of here but he’s not having any of it and it looks like he’s

Um yeah riperoni and pepperoni we’ve done it boom The Colony has been defended and the raid is no more and that was a huge horde so honestly I am super happy with how our guards are doing let’s get back to the building we’ got a plantation to build let’s get the

Materials to the Builder and watch this thing go up so before we commence work on the plantation I wanted to get this town hall finished it was almost done so as soon as Jensen was done there we could shift him over to the plantation now it all begins with the

Foundations and so you can see him in thin air just putting down these dirt blocks now Jensen wasn’t the quickest of builders on this and there were a number of reasons why he was going so slow number one he’s really far away from his Builder’s Hut so it’s a long old Trek

Back there maybe we need some more aqueducts around here or sorry viaducts to get him around much quicker but often I would find Jensen come over and basically just put down about 10 or 20 blocks and then run all the way home to try and get some more

Things to build with not ideal but then the framework for this building it’s pretty big it’s got a big template a big Footprint but there are no regrets in choosing this style this is definitely the better looking version of the plantation and it’s a version that’s much more suited to be on the mountain Side now it’s been a long old episode so I’m not sure we’ll be able to get the fields down but also the plantation kind of works like a farm the higher level it is the more Fields it can support So at level one it’s only really going to be

Able to do one field and that’s not really worth it just Yet but slowly bit by bit block by block Jensen did get this thing Built and it looks it’s okay you know it’s got Cobblestone it’s got dirt it’s got Oak it’s got you know everything a growing building needs to be strong and healthy I don’t know what to say but the build was taking so long for the last few stages we just kind of transitioned

Here for the finished Roof okay let’s jump in and get it configured okay so it’s kind of floating in the air this is going to be an absolute nightmare to get up to but once we get everything sorted and all the retaining walls in position this thing’s going to have a really nice staircase

Going all the way up so it’s not going to be a problem at all but as you can see the building is mostly Hollow that’s pretty weird e but should be fine it doesn’t mean monsters might be a problem later on but nothing a mega torch cannot

Fix now can we get up here from here oh yeah parkour Gods now this is a really cool looking building um but let’s go and take a look at the actual plan Plantation block see how this thing works I’m not sure it’s going to do anything until we actually

Have some fields in place right so there’s crafting recipes because your plantation worker can craft a few things here and there there’s also Fields here we go so assign fields to worker zero of one fields in use zero of one types of plants and automatic so it automatically

Looks for nearby Fields so this is basically exactly the same as a farm much in the same way you give fields to Farmers you also give fields to Plantation workers and every level gets you a new field so let’s try and put in the first field I’ve got the build tool

Now and I’ve got the plantation fields in my pack so infrastructure Fields Plantation and what are we going to do well what is the most important field we think we’ve got loads of cactus we’ve got loads of sugar bamboo we could use and we did save some cocoa seeds for

Exactly this scenario and so what we could do is have like the border of the building here be a field and it looks like that’s kind of what it’s designed for so where are we going to put the first field oh man this is pretty um pretty mindboggling it’s difficult to wrap your

Head around where things are going to go so do you know what I think the first field has got to be a Coco field let’s see if we can find a place to put this yeah you know what this field at the back up here looks like it could be the

Place it’s supposed to go yeah oh that looks actually kind of perfect there’s also room down here at the front this could be a place to put it if we lower it down yeah you know what this looks like it makes much more sense so basically what we’re going to

Have to do is get this up in the levels structure these kind of like terrist Plantation Fields so they kind of cascade down and of course now we have to hire a plantation worker someone over here that can do what we need to do yeah do you know what I think biggie Calvin

Looks like he has great stats for this 17 agility 13 dexterity let’s get him in but there you go guys thank you for watching this episode of mine colony’s Byzantine this is episode we got the plantation built up here high on the hill and it looks freaking amazing now

What we’re going to have to do is also build these Plantation fields and get the plantation up to a higher level so it can support more Fields it’s going to be a big old project with lots of retaining walls so I’m going to see if I can just handle that in between episodes

And show you guys exactly what I’ve done next time and in fact next episode should be the Christmas episode so hope you guys are ready for that it’s probably going to be a much shorter one for me to just say Merry Christmas but until next time thank you for watching and take care
