Today I built a fucking huge greenhouse to start a farm. It took several days to complete, and then creepers started blowing huge chunks of unregatherable glass out of it. This also blasted a sneaky entrance into my cave system, and bit by bit, night by night, my base was exploded away as I wearily tried to rebuild each day.
When I ran out of glass and sand entirely, I decided to go on an overland recce and found a dungeon (with a zombie spawner, which I plan to turn into a water trap for all my automated feather production needs), a frozen lagoon, and a beautiful sandy outcrop with one motherfucking scary near-vertical cave that I desperately want to explore, if only I had a) any coal to make torches and b) sleep in pill form, so I could just keep playing right up to tomorrow's lecture on soil.
