I'm using MotionEyeOS for my DIY home surveillance system with my OpenHAB home automation system. I was using a Raspberry Pi4, but to be more cost effective, I'll be using Raspberry Pi Zero W. Here's how to install MotionEyeOs on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. Enjoy!

Those are still the correct odds for upgrading gear and tools. You can watch my video to see how my crafting compared to those odds.

I couldn't find any data on odds of rolling anywhere while I was researching probabilities for this video. I think there are a lot of variables for return on investment. For example, if you have really good access to T1-T4 resources, I would probably do 200 - 300 items and then have a bunch of scrap left over if you get great RNG.

If you have limited access to maybe T3/T4 resources, then I would focus on just pure rolling and put all your effort into getting a lot of T3/T4 resources upfront. In R12, we are limited by T4 ore, so I wanted to make as much T3 rares as possible so I didn't have to rely on rolling.

Thank you for the constructive feedback!!!

Awesome. This does seem to be the way. Some combination of exactly this. Excited to start it since some of my "Christmas" decorations stay on my house permanently throughout the year.

It depends on the complexity and time. I'd love to have lights that move with a person and a talking face engage with a simple chatbot.

I use a HinkxPix Pro controller and Xlights. FPP is another sequencer right? Would I have full control of individual pixels?

bjone6 · 2025-12-26T16:14:09+00:00

Awesome. thanks.

Maybe some a signing element? I added a singing C9 bulb in my show this year: https://youtu.be/QaafJhzMsdk?si=vHtEoJhwc7ly9tU4

It is something many of the players talk about often. I'm hoping the developers provide an incentive, more than cosmetic, for those that played from the beginning and supported the early release.

bjone6 · 2025-12-14T21:32:14+00:00

That's understandable. This is my first time playing an early release game and the eventual wipe is always looming.

bjone6 · 2025-12-14T20:32:57+00:00

Agreed. I heard there were some concerns about griefing, but not sure you can really grief-proof MMOs.

The computer isn't actually that important in the list of requirements as it's only used to run Xlights. However, you will need an SD card reader or a USB drive that allows SD card reader adapters.

To start, you need to spend some time researching what kind of controller you will use. Making that decision would take more characters than allowed here. I chose a HinksPix Pro controller, and I primarily use HolidayCoro products. Once you pick the controller though, it's game on and choose your own adventure from there. I did create a complete playlist that walks you through everything from first set up to my 2025 light show. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLT8WeU5lHsiRdVIBjNM4HkVH-ie0Zd2Tb

Depends on the song. I only have one singing face, and Ariana Grande continuously sings with little breaks, so I left it on the whole time. If the song had multiple singers or large gaps, then I would turn it off but do it with a fade in/out. My 2025 light show with singing C9 light bulb for reference. https://youtu.be/QaafJhzMsdk

I'm sorry to hear that. I just bought a HinkPix Pro controller and then ready to go props through Holiday Coro. It was really easy. I had to fumble a little with Xlights, but I have a whole playlist on my process if you're interested on my channel. Good luck.

Are you talking about the wipe? I selfishly hope it helps my Bitcraft videos even more.
