Episode Summary
Etho loads into his new world and sets the difficulty to hard. He collects some wood and makes tools before heading to a nearby island, and comments that he plans to build a road to it from the main island. He looks around for coal, and after finding some, returns back to the main island. Etho digs underground, and starts work on a tunnel to create an EATS Road. As it turns night, he seals himself in to protect himself from mobs. He lays out his plan for creating the road and begins to dig a tunnel 8 blocks wide and creates 2 small holes to mark out where the boat dispensers will be. He hears a zombie burning, indicating that it is daytime, and heads back to the surface before concluding the episode while backing away from a creeper.
