We should try to organise the transport system at Exodus a bit better so that you don't have to go to a central hub to swap lines as much.

Manco 09-12-2011 11:57 PM

If we end up branching out again, I’d suggest a circular that loops round past several major locations, with a couple of smaller lines to cover outlying areas.

T-nex 09-13-2011 12:05 AM

Yaay craftable :D!



Anyway Im kinda annoyed that strongholds would be so rare. Imo they are the coolest update to the game, so why would they make them super rare? I dont find that aspect exciting, and it most likely wont make me appreciate them more. Ill probly lose interest in finding them if i find even one <.< ... Sometimes I think game makers dont know what the hell they are doing.

The generation rate of strongholds is being changed in the prerelease update. Either 3-per-world or x-per-y-distance, I’m not sure.

I've got a few ideas...

problem with a ring loop is that if the chunk with the cart gets unloaded it will stop moving.

I'm thinking a system where you can call a mine cart to your position would be the better option, although they would need to all come from a central repository.

Havoc 09-13-2011 01:39 AM

We usually just carry minecarts around with us and put them on the rail where we need them. So unloading chunks wouldn't really be a problem in that case. You might slam into someone else, but that's beside the point :p

Glitch 09-13-2011 02:56 AM

I can always make them one way.

This will take alot of resources to make though :(

Phylum 09-13-2011 03:25 AM

Check out the stuff on the server.

Resources are no hurdle for our projects.

Wil 09-13-2011 03:56 AM

Also, you can now find free railway track in abandoned mines.

Glitch 09-13-2011 04:38 AM

Can't wait for 1.8; raring to get going on some minecraft projects.

Splat 09-13-2011 05:16 AM

I think the 'three per world' thing is unlikely, and if it is the case, then it's stupid. The worlds are eight times the size of the Earth! What if two of your three strongholds randomly generate out in the Farlands?

enchilado 09-13-2011 05:29 AM

You edited this post after posting in the OWF Server thread, so you should have seen my post there where I said that there will be no limit in 1.9.

):<

Splat 09-13-2011 05:39 AM

I only edited it to correct spelling, and I did see your post, and I also looked on the wiki to see what they said.

Wil 09-13-2011 06:23 AM

The Farlands don't exist as of 1.8. The world cuts out a couple of million blocks before they start.

And Wooden Planks. It will be useful if you run out of Wood whilst mining. :p

Hulaabeo 09-13-2011 06:02 PM

We can find chests full of melon seeds aswell.

DarkHoodness 09-13-2011 06:15 PM

Me, Splat, Dripik, T-Nex and Havoc together did a video tour of most of the OWF server, I'll be editing and uploading the footage during the next 3 days or so (I think I have about an hour of footage - not all of it is entertaining and nobody is going to want to sit through all of that so it will require a lot of editing, but I will keep all the important parts). Making it was really fun. :D

T-nex 09-14-2011 12:41 AM

It actually was really fun :) I was quite down actually but playing with you people was fun and made me feel better.

Really excited for the video.

Havoc 09-14-2011 03:31 AM

Yeah fun stuff. Glad my mic started working half way trough.

Havoc 09-14-2011 03:48 AM

Good chance that 1.8 gets released today. If it's up in a couple of hours, are we going to start the Exoddus tonight?

Wil 09-14-2011 04:22 AM

I'm up for that, if I plan my evening well enough.

T-nex 09-14-2011 04:23 AM

I suppose, but Im not going to sleep as late today as I did... yesterday.. or today technically.

Glitch 09-14-2011 04:30 AM

Hopefully I'll be able to leave at a reasonable time tonight and give it a look in.

Havoc 09-14-2011 04:45 AM

Server has been updated to 1.8 Beta.


There seems to be a bug with the color of old paintings and chests though, as earlier reported.

Edit: But this is fixed when you use the item, it seems.

dripik 09-14-2011 05:11 AM

If we really decide for tonight, I won't be available until 7:00PM GMT. Not to mention that we haven't heard from many others who would definately want to come along. I think we should wait it out before we decide on a time for our exodus.

Crashpunk 09-14-2011 06:22 AM

I'm up for tonight. I really can't wait and I hope someone records it.

EDIT: I can't connect to the server, Is 95.211.74.175:25865. the right IP?

enchilado 09-14-2011 07:03 AM

OMG 1.8.

It's midnight and I need to sleep right now. I'll probably be awake in about eight hours - 10PM GMT - but go ahead and start without me if you're impatient or I'm being lazy.

Havoc 09-14-2011 08:22 AM

So anyone want to suggest a time we start this move? Unfortunately we can probably only accommodate one timezone, which will most likely be GMT.

Manco 09-14-2011 08:34 AM

I can do whenever I guess. If we’re all willing to wait for dripik, 7PM GMT sounds ideal.

That’s 8PM GMT+1, right?

DarkHoodness 09-14-2011 08:48 AM

I can do tonight, sure. I'll film it for you. In the mean time I'll keep an eye on this thread until you guys decide to aim for a time.

EDIT: Don't Right click items from chests when your inventory is full, it will cause Minecraft to crash.

Splat 09-14-2011 09:12 AM

I really really can NOT do it tonight. Sorry. Unless it's very, very late tonight. It's the only evening of this week when I really can't be free (thanks, Notch).

Would people be willing to wait 'til tomorrow?

Wil 09-14-2011 09:19 AM

I'm free any evening. :)

Manco 09-14-2011 09:34 AM

On balance, it might be worth holding off a day or two. I just installed 1.8 and it runs like shit, and OptiFine hasn’t been updated yet. Might be worth giving Mojang time to iron out some bugs and let modders update their stuff.

Max so lonely.

enchilado 09-14-2011 12:17 PM

Haha, and I woke up at quarter past five.

Havoc 09-14-2011 12:41 PM

As it stands, I think the Exoddus is going to happen tommorow (September 15th) at 9PM GMT. This time should strike a decent balance for everyone I think. Suggestions?

Hulaabeo 09-14-2011 01:03 PM

Its perfect, I get home from highschool around 2:30 Eastern Time so I should just make it.

DarkHoodness 09-14-2011 01:06 PM

Sure I can do that.

Manco 09-14-2011 01:06 PM

Guess I could do that.
