I think I know why the steam isn't rising. Railcraft has a pair of goggles that let you see the paths players have taken through the world, which I think works by replacing air blocks with another transparent block, but unless glen's gasses is specifically coded to work with it, the gas will treat it like a ceiling
+SkyBoy96 I forgot to mention: If that is the case, you can fix the issue by placing a block into the space and removing it.
+SkyBoy96 Those path blocks can also be disabled in Railcraft's cfg file.
+BluSunrize indeed. they had a similar issue on forgecraft, actually, so I thought the developer fixed it. apparently he just added some Band-Aids
+SkyBoy96 I hope Etho sees this, even if the developer hasn't fixed it. It should be pretty simple for Etho to fix it himself even.
When Etho is the only one that talks to you on Valentine's Day

+QuintenOne i don't need a partner, i have my hand
Hiya Etho, love the building so far. As for the gear technical block, the moment I saw you click them, I thought "Giant skeleton clock tower" (it's the clock that displays it's inner workings. Google it if you don't know what they look like). I think it would look amazing in the city, and I'm sure you can find a secondary use for the tower. Also, all the inner clock motions would add immensely.
ETHO YOU ROCK. The steampunk city is AMAZING!
+ChauNyan I like it to
And you roll
ples chek out me channel i mak awezome minekreft fideos
+Minekreft_Guy_172 don't spam kid
+Vast Studio Actually, that is Etho too since I don't make video :)
"It's starting to annoy me, maybe we should disable him." -Etho 2016
You always have to be careful what you say on TH-cam because ppl always quote things and when out if context it sounds super bad xD
Indeed :D
+InsaneHaze I don't get it.
+VividBagels It could be a major over reaction, making someone disabled because they annoyed you.
+VividBagels Murder.
Hey what's up Etho this is Jet and welcome to the comment section.
hi again my long lost twin
+Jet Lag Oh sorry, Is this Drobnovian knights? Also I believe they have stopped the series on all channels
second to reply to jet lag
+Jet Lag uʍop ǝpᴉsdn ƃuᴉʇᴉɹʍ ɯɐ ᴉ ʇǝɾ ollǝɥ
+Sam Jiang How did you do that? Its a cool trick, that's for sure!
The one thing I think that's most important about a youtuber's life (growth) is how they get more and more comfortable with their audience. I don't think the old - not well-known Etho would have been this open and friendly when he was little. It's like watching a child grow up. Or, experiencing it in my case.
Etho, I compare your production quality metaphorically to the igneous remains of cooled magma.
It... rocks?
+chaosevil1
BU du shh
Lmao this is great
+Chaedyn Chereson Gneiss?
+Liam Harder :p
Etho you are by far my favourite youtuber, just the way you make your videos is perfect, keep up the brilliant work!
we need a character called fans to ask etho questions
Genius
yes, is much needed
He could have a guy called iChinnyAce that constantly says that he rocks :P
He should be in the Steampunk" City, somewhere close to actual fans and windmills
+Derping Turtle Or just create a new NPC for every comment of the day, that turns into the city's population.
I'm loving this denser upload schedule! I just hope you remember to not push yourself and get sick, Etho.
This area looks absolutly awesome. I have a suggestion for the looks however: In the central area, add some minecarts going around (not useful just for looks) so that it feels alive even more.
Hi Etho, Think you should use the gear blocks and spruce wood for the cargo cart bridge and maybe you should add some more moving things to the residential part of the steampunk . Etho you are awesome! Thanks-Harry
Etho, for the houses for the SteamPunk City, you should have the some of the houses hanging from the ceiling going from one of the walls to the other, with supports holding them onto the roof of your cave/overhang and bridges connecting the houses.
The steampunk buildings look sick! Keep up the good work Etho!
etho, immersive engineering has a powered lantern that prevents mobs spawning in a 32 block radius.
That bronze block you didn't like last episode could be used to add some contrast if you use it subtly, like behind windows or something.
All those moving parts... Get ready for another crash etho
It looks cool though
Hey Etho I love how the steampunk city looks so far. I really like the idea of the machines and stuff on the ground and residential stuff up higher. Another great video!
Etho, why don't you take that iron blocks and put them in the blast furnaces? that would be interesting. maybe using those carts or the conveior belts
+Bruno Malagone yeah then the machine would actually be making steel like he wanted it to
+RileyTVS Haven't seen you in a while...
VividBagels can't ever remember seeing you (sorry?)
RileyTVS I reply to you, I just meant that I haven't seen you in like a year on a Etho video.
VividBagels ok then, internet's a big place ya know?
Etho ur defintely making progress in that steampunk city! It looks cool! Maybe around the steam/water thing (don't know official name lol) you could use some sort of metal like blocks or maybe something grayish but refined and kind of sharp looking
How I watch Etho videos:
- in my room
- door shut and locked
- headphones on
- lights off
- maximum playback quality
- screen brightness 100%
this area is looking better and better! keep it up Etho
You should try using hell bricks there, and personally I love the dark, dirty look. Poopy brown for the win.
I always look forward to some nice Etho videos. Keep up the great work, man!
You should use the piston mod i cant remember the name of, and have a clock where the hand constantly rotates.
Also, you should have some houses on the roof of the cave with bridges between them, and a whole social area.
Using pistronics pistons for a clock might cause lag, but it would be cool as hell
+Jonny Keegan Actually, no, Pistronics doesn't lag. I tried it: 100 FPS on the same pack Etho uses.
Dario Gargano Then by God let's hope Etho uses a whole load of pistronics in the steampunk place... speaking of which, it really needs a name
I'd like to punch the guy who thought pistronics was a good name
But it sounds cool!
I love this project and you are doing a nice job with it!
Oops I ate my snacks before the video D:
Me too. :(
I never had snacks to begin with :(
+antonio villanuevaa my snack was stale... It was air
WAT
I ate my snacks in the middle of the vid.banana milk and yogurt(IT'S ALL I HAD!!!)
Etho, once you get into botania your dark steel tools can be made to autorepair using timeless ivy.
Etho F7 you need to go outside and look at the ground if it is yellow only mobs will spawn at night if it is red it will spawn.
Also I don't know what mod allows you to do that but it might be in you pack.
+Jeffrey Petersen It's a feature of NEI. Also, F9 displays chunk borders I believe.
Not enough items is that mod that adds that
ok thank you
Maybe as a suggestion Etho, in your last episode when reading through the rule book for the power generators, it said you could build a windmill and a water wheel. Why not try to build a Waterwheel at the fishing village?
Hey Etho,
Have you considered using Jaqueline to remove certain ob drops from your inventory?
14:40 Man Ezall must've had a very good day haha
lights behind the windows would help with contrast
I always find the little stories you come up with for the people of your towns interesting. I've been doing the same, and it makes Minecraft so much more interesting.
Wouldn't rotarycraft fit perfect for the steam punk place?
Haha I love how Etho continuously complains about the mobs at the Steampunk city, but he's got mods to control it. Like maybe set up some Customs Npc posts around the city, give them kind of weapons that suit the style of steampunk.
Keep up the great work Etho!
Guys Etho spelled backwards is Ohte.
Coincidence? I think not.
man etho i LOVE that project i think its one of the best things you´ve ever done! cool buildings and new ways to use these technical stuff thats just awesome
use immersive engineering it is the most steampunky tech mod
there is also a lot of movement
i know
I love the steam punk and I think you're design is awesome! For the forge cooling build I think a darker block like sky stone would bring a more real sense of forging rather than lighter blocks. Keep up the good work!
i dont really like it when Etho spends an entire video on only 1 thing because if you dont enjoy the 1 thing he is doing its disapointing that it is the only etho vid of the day from etho
Anyways keep up the good work
I tried to make a steampunk train station before, but it never quite looked as good as I thought it should. Motion. That's the key! Now I can't wait to fire up my Minecraft back up and play with it again.
I think another element that made your windmill house (and, in my opinion, steampunk in general) work is odd angles/ proportions. Because in steampunk, the use of steel and machinery appeared earlier in history than they did in real life, steel support beams allow for odd structures like cantilevered (basically buildings that stick out of the side of something) and top-heavy buildings.
Anyways, really digging the metal casting machines. This is the reason I play modded Minecraft.
8:58 what was that lol
That was obviously a TradeMark MEAAAAW by our Etho overlord
it sounded so uncharacteristic XD
My grandmother makes that same sound
Either they feel sorry for you working so hard on the Steampunk area, or they really like it! I personally love it!
Where is TFC? D:
etho doesn't play tfc anymore
+Yifeng Yang Yeah you know, just been months since he played it, #BetterAskNow
+Hellcatz181 //Normal Sub you mean a week?
Baby Oak Productions
NVM I was thinking of a different series :P I thought he ment Hermit craft server since alot of people ask about that
+Gildedgilbs 343 i think he means Terrafirmacraft
This steampunk city is AWESOME, i'm super into stuff like this, I got so excited at the TnT factory and would love to see you continue this, if it were up to me I would make an entire series where everything you create has to be a sort of factory :)
Etho, did you ever watch Naruto and/or Naruto Shippuden? I it the reason you chose a kakashi skin?
Ye he did, he talked about it in an vanilla lp quite a while ago
+ALink2DFuture and what did he said? I remember that he talked about it
He talked about it in Etho Plays Minecraft - Episode 234: Egg Delivery
Madi Roberge
how do you even remember such thing?
+ALink2DFuture I am an expert :)
tinker's construct also has casting channels, like faucets but longer, that allow you to see the liquid metal as it flows to the casting basin and you can do channels and tree like patterns and cascades, all sorts of cool stuff.
it looks really good.
Usualy you have pic, shovle, then sword now you switched the shovle with the sword what is this maddness!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?
+MYNAMEIS ETHAN Shovel*
His new pick acts as a shovel too
His pick acts as a shovel and he has a glove that increases his default breaking speed.
I am extremely happy because you are working on this city, but you need to add people, housing, and a blimp. I would also like to see you work on your magical base and add things that make particles, different colored lights, and more buildings in general than just that one. Other than that, I LOVE this series and hope you have fun with it to. Great job Etho!
I had two suggestions that I though of. Chisel has the Concrete block that has a weathered, partially weathered, and normal. Could be a cool block to play with since all three connect together to make an interesting texture and could be used to have a smokey look from the steam coming off of it. Second though was that the Tinker's has a channel that you could use to run the molten metal through and around. They are sorta derpy, but look cool for moving liquid metals around. It would add some motion in as the metal moves from the smeltery to the casting basin. Love the way the place looks so far.
Hi etho! Just wanted to say thanks for uploading this one before the usual 1 week mark. Love this series :D
Hey Etho, loving this series so far ! You really seem to be inspired by this building style, keep it up !
_Railcraft has a lot of cool textures you can use, mainly the crushed obsidian and the creosote wood block. Also the rock crusher and the steam oven should fit into the theme, they have a nice industrial feeling.
_Maybe in a few episodes you could get back to Rotarycraft ? It has a steep learning curve but is very fun and rewarding once you begin to understand it.
_I think the "block cutter" should produce iron ingots and not blocks.
_A long term goal I would love to watch : an Archimedes Ships zeppelin airport on the top of the mountain ! It could create a link with the other villages
Anyways, here were my few suggestions, have a good day and good luck reading through the comments :P
You can use the painter from open blocks to paint any block with the look of another block and the functionality of a different block. E.g. Glow tone that looks like a wooden plank, end stone for the ended pearl farm that looks like obsidian. Love the video
Etho, in my modpack I use Iron Backpacks, they not only have good space and (in my opinion) a good balance costwise, BUT they can be upgraded to take automaticly from your inventory with a whitelist. This could help you with common mob drops that clutter your inventory making it management way easier. I highly recommend that you check it. And as always great series, greetings from Chile!
Etho love this series! you should make the smeltery super fancy. Make it stand out over the other buildings
You should try to incorporate conveyor belts that move items from one part of the stage to the next, spanning over the walk ways bellow, if that makes any sense; like having a conveyor belt going from one building to the next and have a few buildings to do different tasks. It could fit into the steam punk style, just pretend the conveyor belts are ran by the windmill crank. I think that would be a pretty awesome build!
Etho - it's NEI that adds the mob spawn display. F7 turns on and off X's on the ground. Yellow for daylit areas (spawns at night), red for dark (spawns anytime). F9 switches modes showing chunk boundaries (corners, full border, off)
i have a feeling this is gonna be the most liked city that Etho has built
I was a little nervous in the beginning but I really love how it turned out. You rock etho!
This TH-camr will forever be a genius
a really cool idea is maybe a room you can see through the windows of some people having tea. I know steam punk people love tea and it'd make the world feel alive
I can't wait to see you use the crusher and even possibly the arc furnace, they look so epic.
Etho, you should have a certain areas in your industrial city that is left "unfinished" where it's somewhat chaotic with blocks missing as well as some scaffolding surrounding it to make it seem as though construction is in progress. Also, if you plan or putting roads in there, add a single giant hole (dunno, blow it up with TNT or something) with exposed pipes that are still unconnected and fences surrounding it with a sigh saying: "CAUTION". These would give a more immersive feel to your industrial city along with moving parts (carts, visible production, etc.) other than a clean finished product as it would look as though the NPC's are actually improving the settlement. Cheers
Loving the Steampunk area, keep it up. Can't wait to see how it will turn out
Etho, I feel like things like that smeltery you made are what make you a successful youtuber. Most people who do modded serries, or even vanilla series, make the big mistake of just using the basic stuff. Like, if they need a smeltery, they'll just make a regular smeltery, and then connect it to their ME network, just like their pulverizer, furnace, crafter, etc. However, you do things in a different way, making your videos interesting and differentiating you from all the other youtubers. Keep doing things like you do, and I'm sure you'll remain popular on youtube.
19:58 THIS IS SPARTAAAAA!!!
Also I would use a block for the casting thing... that doesn't stand out too much but blends in.
Big metal clamps coming down down from the overhang in the mountain holding up the pipes would look cool.
I find myself enjoying this part of the modded series the most! Keep up the great work.
Sincerely a fellow swede :)
Fellow swede? Etho is Canadian
Well that much I know.. And for my poor gramatics I hope to be excused (since English is not my native language) ;)
I think making it look like a blacksmith would look pretty awesome!! Plus I would like to see the ground get down, making some paths would really bring it all together!!!
If you wanted your smeltery to be functional and cool you could always use the channels that come with tinkers construct to move fluids around. They look pretty neat.
Best minecraft series on TH-cam by far!
Second time Etho has modeled something based off of real industrial manufacturing processes. Cool
Just to say, I love that you don't do face camera stuff and also don't make too many videos and that you don't do click bait thumbnails and I love your voice and your slow pace at doing things
Etho: I hope you’re having a good weekend
Me (watching on the weekend 5 years later): *how did he know*
When I think steampunk, I think of a brass color. The color seems to fit with the theme, at least to me. :P Auf wiedersehen Etho!
Smoke and fire blocks from the twilight forest could be good for the steampunk city. Love the videos keep up the good work :)
Hey Etho, I love your videos, and I think the new steam punk town is really cool looking. However, I think you should incorporate brighter colors in the upper levels of the tow to provide more contrast, and help it stand out against the dark ceiling. Keep up the awesome work!
yes f7 is the key to show where mobs can spawn. also if would be really cool if you could have a windmill hanging from the top of the cave near the outer side. also the power room looks really nice of it was for a kind of futurey place but the soft textures don't really match the rest of your build. The thing you are doing with the ore/mining thing is really cool especially since it looks to be "in" the actual building and i think things like that really help with this style of building.
Etho, I think it is best to leave out the actual building. I know that for me I watch your videos to see your unique awesome ideas rather than how you make them. Love the videos, so grateful that your still doing it!! :)
Also you should have used the yellow technical blocks on the casting area
+Mavi Cem I'm from the FURTHER future, Etho later regretted his choice and said it was "silly".
When you're happy and you know it watch Etho... When your happy and you know it and you really want to show it, when your happy and you know it stay up all night and watch etho
Etho 3 things
1. try moving the gears,slopes & windmill back one
2. try using colors that go good with rust or copper colored metal
3. Your sa best :)
"I don't know if you've seen a youtube video on how they cast steel"
I have now, Etho. Thanks for the idea.
Hello Etho, I usually don't comment on any of your videos or don't comment at all haha. Well anyhow, I would like to say you are one of my favorite TH-camrs and every time I see that you upload a new video I watch it ASAP. Keep doing what you're doing, you put a smile on my face. Thank you :)
8:20 Major key alert!! xD
keep up the great work Etho!!
A forge would have a glow, and a lot of heat to it. If you could somehow add redstone lights that would pulse like everytime the iron is moved that could a cool effect. The smeltery shouldprobably be the tinkersconstruct black blocks. Cool build btw.
have to say this is the best series out including other youtubers
I really like where your "steampunk" city is going. My favorite thing with this series is the villages you made. I think you should try to focus a bit more on the NPCs and your original idea with your villages.
I love when you do the crazy uneffient. Because it all ways look good and is very entertaining. Gg you are the best
Sooo i NEVER post on videos but i just had to say that i love your videos and i think youre a building genius! Also, i have a couple quality of life tips for you that i think will make your life a bit easier. I dont know if you know this already but for your golden bags, you can rename them in the anvil to help keep organized. And to solve your issue of picking up junk all the time you could make a couple trashcans or void bags which will help clean up your inventory! Keep up the good work Etho!
I hope this series lasts as long as your vanilla play through!
Oh damn, this series really makes me want to play modded minecraft again.
Hey Etho, I suggest making the mine cart bridge only one block wide so you can see the mine cart going back and forth from ground level, that way you can implement more movement into your build. Lower the railing down to the level of the bridge but have fence pillars going up to the roof going over the track.
Something that might really help sell the Steampunk theme would be some good cobblestone streets. Use the Chisel cobble with slightly larger stones in it (or maybe Tinker's Road blocks of some sort?) for most of the road, then use some sort of a channel-looking block (maybe stairs inset next to it?) for gutters on the sides or in the middle. Then sidewalks in front of the shops and factories, with little yards and fenced walls.
Those Under-Pipe blocks looks like in-wall pipe junctions- are there straight versions of them you could use to make really complex piping?
Etho, you should build like you did back in the crackpack! Like when you built with stone to make the shape and then used equal trade to pick the design. Great video, keep up the good work!
Etho you've been uploading more and keeping me in a cheery mood!! Also I was wondering if you will be uploading videos this much from now on!!?
Etho, you NEED to use the Immersive Engineering "Engineer's Skyhook" to get around this place. all you need to do is set up cables between places you want to go, and click and hold on one end, and you get carried to the other end. I'm pretty sure it's modeled after Bioshock, which has the same theme that you're going for.
I like the yellow gear blocks at the windmill, it is kinda like a grandfather clock with the windmill moving all the small gears
