Most annoying but you can work around it.

That's probably what's happening. I'm just amazed at how often it happens. I like to imagine they have a hidden tunnel that let's them sneak across. :)

Howdy All!

Haha yeah us too, it seems like so many get out this way! We fixed it by lowering the field inside a couple of blocks so they can't jump up and stand next to the walls

Episode 54
Better Than Wolves - Rathan01's Let's Play EP54 - Back To Some Caving PT2

Hi there. Finally I got a forum account here. :>

I have been playing BTW for a while now and my Let's Play series is at episode 27 already.
I'm trying to make a decent Let's Play with interesting stuff and a decent amount of progress, so (except for the first few episodes) I cut out a decent amount of uninteresting or "grindy" stuff.
I recently started building a base at a Stronghold in my world and started to check out how to automate things where automation makes sense.

Episode 27: That certain kind of Refreshment

Playlist for the whole series

There haven't been any episodes the last two weeks which was due to me being in a hospital. But I will continue the series soon™.

haschischtasche, I'm watching e27 now (the intro was nice!), then I'll check the beginnings. To see people trying and failing in the beginnings is always fun (:

I don't wanna blow my own horn too much, but I think I did pretty well in the beginning, which is partially because I got lucky a few times relatively early on. ;)
There are a few decent fails in the last half or third or so of the series. ^^

I'm glad you apparently enjoy it, thanks for watching. :)

Forgot to post the last couple releases...

New Better Than Wolves for the week of October 26th:
Ep 82 After discovering I had left the spawner by my base, I start to hook it into my grinder.
Ep 83 So I accidently labeled this as 82, and it took me 4 attempts to change it to 83. Come on Youtube, I edited the text and hit save, you said save, what's wrong with you? Anyway, working on a spawner tower.

Almost every time I type spawner, I try to spell it spawnder. Bizarre.

Another two videos for your enjoyment!

Episode 108 I continue working on the gold/wither farm.

Episode 109 I suffer from a lack of specific focus and look into changes in 4.99999A0E Marsupial?!!!. There are indeed spoilers for the hardcore darkness changes in this episode but I've made an effort to mark a way to get around them!

A couple more releases, brought to you by Arrobee! :D

Arrobee's Adventure in Icyopolis Ep. 16 "Silverfish Mating Calls."
I'm all about that coal, 'bout that coal, no.. gravel!

Arrobee's Adventure in Icyopolis Ep. 17 "Arrobee's Punch the Fat Away Machine™"
It's right in front of you, fatty!

Arrobee's Adventure in Icyopolis Ep. 18 "FernGully'ing the Swamp!"
FernGully'ing is now a verb - use it, you're welcome - it means to decimate a forest/swamp/jungle, leaving nothing but stumps.

Finally I am in the condition to be able to record again. Uploaded in 60fps, option might not be available yet (because some algorhythm in the youtube server farms has to decide if there is enough motion in the video to make it worthwhile to encode it again in 60fps). Also note that not all browsers are supported yet, especially if you didn't opt-in for the html5 player and are still using flash on youtube.

Episode 28: Suck It up

Edit: 60fps is now available. :)

Episode 55
Better Than Wolves - Rathan01's Let's Play EP55 - Finding a Stronghold

Episode 110: Kate and I head out to try to establish a road network on the Sourthern Continent that is within spawn radius.

Episode 111: Finally we get down to work on building the route markers in the south.

Got a new episode, started working on a Slime farm.
60fps and 720p should be available soon.

Episode 29: Goo

Another week, another two videos!

Episode 112 - I obsess a bit over the design of a support column for the main base.

Episode 113 - The Enderman farm planning begins. Very dangerous construction conditions.

Finishing the Slime farm, doing maintenance, eating a hardcore spawn with the new 20 minute despawn timer, checking spawning mechanics in the end.
60fps again. ;)

Discussion on tree limb proportions, and replenishing the pig farm.

Two more videos for your enjoyment!

Episode 114 I set up a temporary feeding system to keep our wolves alive and sane in the new release.
