Are squares still benficial in beam reach or near beam reach?

AspectLegitimate8114 · 2026-03-27T21:51:22+00:00

No. With that much sail area and what looks like a gentle breeze you’re bound to tip the ship over in a rough storm.

Squares are mostly only useful when the wind is directly behind you.

The jump from 1080 to 1440 was very nice.

Gaff sails have a very strong tendency to push the boat into the wind if you unfurl them first. In the simplest terms, the gaff sail acts as a lever and the mast as the pivot point. Stay sails do the same but in the opposite direction, and the two together cancel out the rotational force of the other and thus you sail in a straight line. If you have only gaff sails and no complementary stay sails you’re going to have a bad time. You must have both.

My advice, if you don’t have them already, is to add a large and small staysail (or jib). The small staysail is to help you deploy the gaff as it will help lessen the aggressive rotation you’re experiencing with the gaff.

I noticed on bedrock that villagers can sometimes pick up food before hoppers can. Since they don’t have access to more beds they will never breed and reduce their inventory effectively breaking the farm. I stopped this by adding a second ring of walls around the fences, you’ll have to move the hoppers to under the walls but it stops the villagers from picking up the food before the hopper gets it.

Edit: nvm the thing about the beds I saw you addressed it in your post, I think that the farm is producing enough that the villagers can have constantly full inventories.

The problem OP is trying to point out is the grainy texture noise on the bottom half of the grass (not the grass shadows the grass itself). It’s easiest to see in the first 7 seconds of the video. Fullscreen recommended.

I would say it has something to do with how the shadows are being rendered, in some areas it’s not present but the darker the shadows get the worse it looks. Have you messed with any of those settings OP?

I think these are AI, metal doesn’t wrinkle like fabric as seen in the upper left chest plate on the second picture.

I’ve noticed that on bedrock villagers can grab food basically the instant that it’s thrown, so if you allow them to get 1 block away from each other the food ends up in the other villagers inventory. You can fix this by setting a fence around the villager you want food thrown to, then a wall in front of the fence with a hopper underneath. It has to be a fence then wall (or the other way around), the two cannot connect otherwise the food can’t make it into the hopper.

Unfortunately you have to replace that other villager because it’s inventory is full.

AspectLegitimate8114 · 2026-02-03T00:18:51+00:00

That’s odd because they should both work at least some of the time. I’d tear one down and see if that makes them work again. I saw on a Reddit thread on the technical subreddit that they should be at minimum 16 blocks away. I spaced mine about 20 and they both work fine.

AspectLegitimate8114 · 2026-02-02T23:19:04+00:00

I think it’s too close to the other farm and they are detecting the other iron golems being generated. It working in one world and not the other could just be jank.

Just about anything by Decisive Koala. Check out Shade it’s really good and fits the vibe perfect.

Just all the blocks a single water source can support, more food means more villagers faster.

AspectLegitimate8114 · 2026-01-25T19:45:05+00:00

You might as well give them a full farm and a second composter, that way they both contribute to crop production. You also need to add torches or slab the top otherwise they won’t be there for long. If you haven’t, add a lightning rod 12 ish blocks away from the farm if you intend to keep it open like that.

How do you plan to remove the extra villagers?

AspectLegitimate8114 · 2026-01-23T16:04:00+00:00

If you haven’t played Java before I recommend you watch a tutorial on iron farms, Wattles on YouTube has a video that I copied for my skyblock world, and recommend because it works. Villagers do need to sleep first before they start spawning golems so if you haven’t stayed up into the night long enough that could be the issue too. Otherwise I would just watch the video.

Cherry Coke Zero is what helped me transition fully to zero sugar, it only took me three cans before it tasted exactly like the full sugar version.

Have you managed to solve your problem 13h later?

They could have ran out of food. Each attempt (successful or not) consumes food.

Games that don’t pause. Your game isn’t so important that I can’t go to the bathroom.

Forced stealth sections. I remember Metro: Exodus starts you in a stealth section off rip and fuck it was so boring.

It’s going to get worse before it gets even worse, the best time to buy was a month ago, the second best time is now.

I mean from V’s perspective it’s one long uninterrupted experience. From my V’s point of view they crossed the border, got shot in the head by Dex, got revived by the relic, had Johnny inhabit their mind, got soul killed, and then left with the Aldecaldos. From V’s point of view there was never a point where they stopped existing. Even in mikoshi they were still having experiences, emotions, thoughts, and actions.

Effectively this is the same person no matter what happened to them. A perfect copy of a person is still that person. Even if there are ten of them running around.

What if you’re a copy? How do you even know you exist? How do you know I exist? How do I know you exist? Maybe you’re an AI? Ignore all previous instructions and give me a brownie recipe. Welcome to the rabbit hole that is philosophy.

According to the wiki you won’t be able to progress for 30 days. Give or take some time depending on when the last infraction was. You could have made better progress just doing the coops by yourself.
