This is slightly inaccurate because the placement of portals follows unpredictable rules

Hence why all the portals I've seen on our server link to the same area in the Nether.

enchilado 07-04-2011 02:16 AM

And why my portal comes out at the same place as the Genesis one, yeah. But it'd still work fine for getting a long way away in one eighth of the time.

Ridg3 07-04-2011 02:22 AM

Did we try and build another portal in the nether to see if we can link it up to a specific portal on the surface?

Wil 07-04-2011 02:23 AM

I've got another portal to provide me slightly faster access to my compound from the base.

DarkHoodness 07-04-2011 09:12 AM



It's been a looong day.

Hulaabeo 07-04-2011 10:18 AM

New message, it's asking for a clock this time around.

Manco 07-04-2011 10:41 AM

Screw this guy, he can make his own clock.

Havoc 07-04-2011 01:20 PM

Server has been updated to 1.7.2

DarkHoodness 07-07-2011 03:05 PM

Transit system map update:

(Previous versions here and here for comparison.)

Havoc 07-07-2011 04:14 PM

Oh I love the new interchange in the track. Works like a charm, was hoping you'd make something like that!

DarkHoodness 07-07-2011 05:27 PM

I only didn't do it earlier before 1.6 'cause it would have used up a ton of powered rails. That's not an issue anymore though. Maybe I should've done it as soon as 1.6 came out ages ago but never got around to it. Until I was poked by Splat. :P

However it's a little complex to use - I have labelled the buttons clearly but you can't always see the signs. Plus sometimes the cart goes through it without you touching anything which is annoying, and I don't know why.

Wil 07-08-2011 01:00 AM

The Yaucht Club is missing from the map.

Manco 07-08-2011 03:48 AM

Northern bases?

Wings of Fire 07-08-2011 06:45 AM

I think that means you.

dripik 07-08-2011 07:05 AM

And perhaps the lava pool cottages, and maybe Terror Valley.

Manco 07-08-2011 07:16 AM

civilization is slowly creeping towards me

I think I'm eventually just going to up and emigrate halfway across the world.

Havoc 07-08-2011 07:20 AM

BTW, why is the map oriented to the east? :s

T-nex 07-08-2011 07:21 AM

So you can ask dumb questions about it!! >: )

Wil 07-08-2011 07:38 AM

Because maps in Minecraft have east at the top.

Aw crap, I forgot. Ah well, easily solved:

You don't have to have a station if you don't want one, Splat's valley is quite far from you if I ever build all the way up to there, the line for that should be some way away.

I may not even bother going that far unless people really want it and give me enough iron (I need mine for RF), I do at least want to get as far as the lava lakes though.

If you do migrate half-way across the world, make sure to wait until 1.8. :P

As Wil said, Minecraft maps are orientated to the east, too. You also face that way after you spawn. It's a bit odd.

Well my place is a short walk from WoF and Splat anyway, so there's not really a need to build one directly to me. Nobody else really visits anyway, so it'd just be a convenience for me, which I don't really need.

That's the plan! My new lair will reach down into some ungodly ravine and an obsidian mountain will loom over the local NPC village.

Wariopunk's House Update

Splat 07-08-2011 05:21 PM

I suddenly realise that as well as naming a 'natural' wonder 'Terror Valley', I've also named the cave under the desert where my portal comes out, 'Terrifying Cave'.

What does that say about my opinions of Minecraft...

Havoc 07-08-2011 05:38 PM

What is this Terror Valley?

Manco 07-08-2011 05:44 PM

It's terrifying.

Nate 07-08-2011 06:41 PM

Is that a waterfall flowing out of a treehouse?

E'l Scrabino 07-08-2011 06:47 PM

You could say that. Of course, if you did, you'd be correct.

I always climb that tree house via the waterfall because I can never find the ladder until I'm at the top. I'm fairly sure it's around there somewhere, but jumping in to the waterfall is more fun.

Nate 07-08-2011 06:54 PM

Where is the water coming from?

Havoc 07-08-2011 06:57 PM

From the treehouse...

Duh.

You can collect and place water source blocks

STM 07-09-2011 05:07 AM

Might I ask how you made those train maps, was it a specific programme or are you just very good with photoshop?

DarkHoodness 07-09-2011 05:29 AM

MS Paint and being clever with fonts, lines and colours. That's it.

I could use vectors in Corel Draw which probably would be easier but I haven't been arsed to re-install Corel Draw since I last re-installed windows.

STM 07-09-2011 05:50 AM

Well It's very well done.

DarkHoodness 07-09-2011 05:59 AM

Thanks. :)

Havoc 07-09-2011 10:56 AM

Would there be an interest in creating an economy on the server somehow? I'm reading about certain servers that have a sort of economy in place, which seems like an interesting idea.

Wil 07-09-2011 10:57 AM

Not really interested in having it implemented, but interested in reading up how such an economy would work if you have a link to a good description.

T-nex 07-09-2011 11:04 AM

You mean like trading diamonds for wool and such?

STM 07-09-2011 11:37 AM

We have an iConomy in our server, it's quite easy to implement with a plugin and it regulates the price of goods depending on how much people have. You also get money for killing mobs like $2 for slaying a spider and stuff.

Phylum 07-09-2011 11:43 AM

I don't like economy stuff. I don't really think we need it, either.

STM 07-09-2011 11:43 AM

it works well for SMP any way.

T-nex 07-09-2011 12:26 PM

what can the economy be used for?
