So I have a 12 step program for successfully building my tower:

1.Set out outer perimeter(almost done)
2. Set out inner perimeter
3. Set out inner-inner perimeter
4. Set up a shack in the inner perimeter.
5. Fill in water in inner perimeter
6. Cut down all trees
7. Fill in all water
8. Level all ground to baseline
9. Set up initial 5 floors of the tower, and map out the first part of the bridge.
10. Dig like a madman
11. ???
12. Bask in the glory of my tower.

I usualy make a base (small castle like walls) start a mine under it, and build up/down as I need.

Planning to add a watch tower and U-boat pen (not quite full size like ones at St Nazaire) to my house. The watch tower will probably go on top of my house with a roof garden/greenhouse at the top and possibly a balcony as well.
This will be my largest project to date, and will (if I remember) post screenshots of my progress in my minecraft ImageShack album.

Check this (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1501303&postcount=166) post of mine, I started but never finished a 4 pen bunker, looked very nice from the inside.

Think you can count the dimensions from that image, if you want to. :hmmm:

Don't think I'll build that big, just large enough to put a boat in with access to my house.

MEGALOMANIAC FTW :yeah: (<-- see, writing in all caps makes me feel better then writing in all lower case :O:)

Dowly

01-26-11, 07:35 PM

That's the plan.

I actually wrote a lenghty response, but I think I just say "No, dont do it". :hmmm:

EDIT: Ok, maybe I go into detail. The castle thingy in the last map I was making was 200di, it took me 2-2½ weeks to finish 50% of the floor.

Spike, the area you are building in is like 450x450 and you have to dig quite a bit down and construct up.

I think at this point I must remind that MC is still beta, what if you've spent 150 hours and got 25% done and a update comes with something really game changing? Would you just give up and start a new map? (actually, you better be or I'd TNT your place :P)

Krauter

01-26-11, 07:59 PM

I think that's not particularly fair to Spike...

Though I do agree that it may be a waste of time (I do not mean that as criticism or an insult) considering, as Dowly said its a beta. I do think that all the projects you come up with are awesome,but would better be completed as a community product and such.

If you search on Youtube, theres a SMP server that created a floating castle from a japanese manga. It's awesome and, from the footage taken, they seem to have enjoyed it.

Drewcifer

01-26-11, 08:08 PM

I say let him build it.

That in mind I also think everybody has to keep in mind its a BETA and whenever something game changing comes out we need to bring on a new map.

Krauter

01-26-11, 08:24 PM

Well I don't think a new map every huge update needs to be taken as a rule.

Take for example the new biomes, yes because it changed terrain features, etc it needed to be changed. But if new mobs, and recipes are added, then I don't think we need to change a map for that, do you?

Dowly

01-26-11, 08:33 PM

Hey, not saying he can't build it. :O:

There's alot of things Notch doesnt say in detail when he updates.

Like the rareness of iron, I don't recall him never mentioning that it was upped, but it was. And with more members in the team, Notch isn't even aware of all the changes (for example, Notch thouch birch/pine trees would drop birch/pine saplings until players proved him wrong).

The problem is, that new ores/plants/blocks aren't generated into existing blocks. Say, Notch includes the brown dye stuff, cocoa bean, all who wants it, needs to go beyond known chunks to get it.

All I am saying is that HUGE project simply aren't worth it at beta stage IMHO.

Drewcifer

01-26-11, 08:34 PM

Well now your just being a pain in my side..

I meant the map change as a rough guideline. OBVIOUSLY not every update demands a map change.

Krauter

01-26-11, 08:38 PM

@ Dowly I agree with that completely. (and as for birch/pine trees dropping specific saplings I thought that was supposed to be implemented too :O:)

@ Drew; sorry not meaning to be a pest :)

Dowly

01-26-11, 08:51 PM

Well now your just being a pain in my side..

I meant the map change as a rough guideline. OBVIOUSLY not every update demands a map change.

All I am saying is that it is a beta and I believe it says somewher along the install to 'not get fond of your saved games'.

I'm not sure if you really understand how big a 450x450 + dig down really is, nor do I, but I would guess it's hundreds of thousands if not millions of blocks.

I'm all for big projects, they look F'ng awesome when finished. Just making sure Spike knows where he is getting into.

Re: Krauters 'I think that's not particularly fair to Spike...' comment,

Well, we got what, 6-8 players who are regulars. Say, there's a big update, that really changes the game, would it not be more fair for the 6-8 players to start a new world than wait for one player to finish his project, which would be "erased" by the new map the moment he/she is finished?

Sorry for being so straight, a tad drunk here... people should be more straightforward tho... much easier..

Drewcifer

01-26-11, 09:19 PM

Not sure why I was quoted? I was agreeing with you, the state of the game dictates there will be map changes.

Besides I'm the sort that wants the experience the new stuff from a new start to speak. not mingled in with all the old.

That being said I tried to message you on steam Dowly I was traped in a hole and needed a drunk to save me.. oddly enough it was in the admin area so I couldn't break blocks. LUCKLY Keab came to my rescue with the all mighty block of dirt so that I might leap out.

Krauter

01-26-11, 09:47 PM

Like I said I agree with the fact that a new map would be best for all :)

What I mean by that's not particularly fair is ONLY in a sense that you didn't want him to, or rather wouldn't recommend him, to pursue the project.

On the contrary however, if we have, 6-8 regulars, as you say, and ONE person has a huge project that needs completion, I say we either, as you say, say screw it (which would be my first option to pick), OR, we as a community, help that person finish the project.
Now that doesn't mean that if spike has only dug his 450x450 area down 10 layers we finish the hole and the castle. But I mean if all he had to do was finish the main castle structure, then yes I would want to help him finish it.

Cheers!

Thats what I suggested, but he said he can't because its too unpredictable.(he wants to maintain a centre pillar to build his castle on.)

Edit: And you're never butting in if you have something to say :P this is an open board :)

Spike88

01-27-11, 03:10 AM

Sorry to butt in the conversation, but here's a little perspective...

Area of Spike's hole: 79108.95 blocks. Assuming he uses a diamond pickaxe (which I don't think he is), and he's going through nothing but smooth stone, it will take 46.55 days for him to go through 30 layers, about halfway to bedrock.

Make what you will of it, but might I suggest that someone lends him some TNT?

Gee. Thanks for making it seem like such a huge project. :haha:

As for the whole argument on whether or not I should try any mega projects, or just wait until we get a finished game. What's the point of not trying?

It's not like I'm wasting time that could be spent doing something else, especially when I'm barely on. Sure it may end up just another project that doesn't get complete, but honestly, if it does not appear completable by the time we need a new map for an update, I'll just leave it be.

Now if it the hole was 90% finished and we got an update, I would ask for either A. Help or B. just more time. But other than that I don't think it's fair to tell everyone to wait for a new map just because I still want to work on the hole.

I am glad that i'm just working on a small scale project, don't think I could manage such a large scale project.

Speaking of projects, my tower is 1/4 built. I demolished my garden as it was too exposed so it's going on top of the tower in a roof garden (may make it a greenhouse in the future). I'm building a staircase as I go up, which makes construction easy, and plan to have 2 levels with roof garden.

Next will be a boat house built in the style of a U-boat pen with a tunnel leading from my house straight to it, and after that will dig another tunnel that will lead directly to my mine, reducing the amount of time I need to spend in the open to just cutting trees down/re-planting them. That is, if I come up with a way of growing trees under ground:hmmm:

Wait....what am I doing? This projects going to get out of hand soon......

Krauter

01-27-11, 08:35 AM

If you want to plant trees all you need is dirt and a lot of light. As for underground farms, you just need to dig trenches, fill with water, have dirt within 4 squares o that and a lot of light and your set.

Knew that:O:, was saying how easily things can get out of control with so many ideas you want to build.

I'd like to offer to build a wall around the spawn and to light the innards appropriately.

Right now at night the spawning ground is prone to inbound mobs making it a little more dangerous than we'd like

it'd also remove the need for doors on Bank station etc.

http://www.youtube.com/user/BlueXephos#g/c/F60520313D07F366

Watching part 22 atm and felt like I must bump this in-case no one's following it. It is by far the best Minecraft series there is and the reason is because it has a rather cool "story" to it.

To spoil as little as I can, I'll just say that it starts as any other Let's Play until strange things start to happen to the duo. ;)

It's obviously staged, but their reactions to all the strange stuff that starts to happen is very convincing. Anywho, I strongly recommend to check the series out. :up:

I believe Arclight limited the players to 6 to battle lag.

Arclight

01-30-11, 12:54 PM

Indeed... we're hitting the limit quite often now though... I'll set it to 8, but I'd ask players to take note of any lag and let us know if it becomes worse.

Dowly

01-30-11, 12:59 PM

Also, might note that, if you see a chunk error that doesn't affect what you are doing, please do not reconnect, there's always a lagspike of varied length when someone joins in.

Pisces

01-30-11, 01:07 PM

I suppose it also has to do with how far apart everyone is. Then the server needs to keep more chunks in memory and the switching between players takes time swapping memory... /'know all'-mode off/

Arclight

01-30-11, 01:08 PM

The problem is bandwith, not memory. It's more related to how much activity there is.

I agree IF you can walk around it no need to relog... the issue is once you see one its like somebody opened the flood gates of missing chunk hell.

I've never just walked by a chunk error and not found myself eventually facing a massive crater that I can not cross.

If I die ussually by the time I hit nagy's place the entire section of water north is missing.. so I have to walk to nagy's, reload, and then continue north.

For the record, for my hideout I claimed a mountain which is visible in the northeast from the spawnpoint. You should be able to see my windows, and a big V made of torches. We'll see how long they stay stuck on the wall because I had plenty of protests from the locals, organized as the 'Creeper Crib Crashers'. But after I set up some torches a peace-and-tree-loving group calling themselves the 'Farm-fanatics' decided to hold a rally there to keep (dis)order. They did so deep into the night. Thankfully things stayed in place.

Also, the first creeper showed someone already dug a tunnel there with a little further on some empty underground chambers (abandoned?). The tunnel is under what I now consider my front lawn. Please be aware that that soil is just one block of dirt thick! Not creeper-safe by any means until I manage to get me some obsidian.

I also dug a spiral staircase inside all the way to bedrock. I hope I won't run into tunnels of others, or you guys nicked the diamonds under me already. If you think I might be to close to your mineshaft(s) then please give me a PM and we'll talk to settle boundaries. I haven't got any idea where south or north is down there.

Arc Light - Ace Attorney

Good luck mate. :up:
Thanks, but the real story is so sad I probably shouldn't mention it any further. :har:

Good lord, seriously... The moment I arrived there and sat down to wait for them to come and collect me from the waiting area I started shivering, didn't stop untill I stepped out of the building again. Definetly the most severe anxiety I've had in my life. The whole experience is a bit of a blur, like a trance.

I mean, I suffered from anxiety the first time I came on Teamspeak to fly with you guys; how the hell am I supposed to undergo an official hearing with any form of dignity? :nope:

At the very least I've made it painfully clear why it is that I'm on social security. :lol:

I've honestly never been so glad to come home.

Positive thing is that when you file an apeal like that, they are forced to make a new decision. In this case, it's likely that the suspension of income is scrapped and replaced with a 20% reduction over the month Januari, and I'll get my income from December as well. I managed to pay the rent over Januari, but the people I rent from will of course be expecting my rent for Februari up front shortly. My client-manager at social security said that if they press me for the rent before I have the money, I can explain the situation and refer them to him for confirmation. Once a decision is reached, which will take 1-4 weeks, he could also expedite payment for critical expenses like rent untill normal routine is resumed.

Obviously I won't be finding any peace of mind for a while yet, but at least it doesn't seem like I'm gonna end up in the gutter. Thank god I always make sure to have a little money in reserve.

Same thing here really; cabinet falls, new one takes it's place, nothing really changes. Rinse, repeat. Lost track of how many we went through the past years. :roll:

Seems it's really escalating in Egypt, or was. Government here called back everyone on vacation there. The people said they didn't really notice it, but from talking to the locals they got a sense something was brewing, and the day they left the country the streets were emptier than usual.

These things never go down smoothly. Why people feel the need to plunder shops when they really disagree with something is still beyond me though. :hmmm:

I think MC.net just went kaput.

Edit: Nope, just me.

Also, if any of you would like to check out my underground rooms and comment, concerns, suggestions, etc, with what I should do (as well as on the design I'm aiming for), go to my island (go west from spawn until you hit spikes 'road' follow it around until it turns completely west again (North -> North West -> West_ and then follow it to the beach.) Once there you should be able to see my towers. Break a block of dirt at the gate, but remember to replace it or you'll be swarmed by creepers. My mine is in the center of the island between the shacks. To get into the underground chambers, go down the mine ladder until the wooden platform, go to the second ladder and then down the stairs in this room. The chambers begin at level 15, or the first doorway on the stairs.

Cheers!

Well, I've dug my way to the bedrock in the hunt for diamonds, if you want to see just go into my house (E of spawn), enter Mine No.2 and find the sign that simply says "down". Also built a wall around my house so I can grow/cut trees without been attacked.I've already been down there. If my sense of direction didn't fail me you have a very long sloping staircase going in the north direction. This probably makes you come out quite near my mine-hub. We'll see.

I would suggest not growing trees inside your fort unless you like mobs raining down on you, or chop them down when they grow up as soon as they do, as baddies will spawn up there in the trees at night unless you light the trees up

Yup, it was introduced in the dye patch. Also works on wheat, no idea about cacti or reeds.

Hence, if you need coal, take some bonemeal, a sapling and just keep whacking the tree down over and over again and then burn the logs in furnace to get charcoal. :O:

Yeah, it's no problem to ask him to move if you rather use that site. I've told him plenty of times to communicate and to listen, so if he ended up encroaching there he'll just have to take responsibility for that decision.

It's not like I'm giving preferential treatment here, same rules apply.

I was told he was really proud of his construction. I'm not going to ask him to tear it down because I was going to make a pit there. I'm not heartless.

I'm at a stage where relocation isn't a problem, so it's cool.

Based on what Spike said I think I'm in the large piece of Desert due West of you Arc. My project will encompass most of that desert. Please let me know if you'd like me to move further away.

-Edit-

I'll avoid double posting and just edit this in.

This is the location of everybody that I'm aware of, please let me know of any errors, I know it's not precise, it's just to give you all a general idea.

I had found those, but they skirt my planned area so that's cool. I did just want to double-check though in case I ended up ruining somebody's plans. Thanks for letting me know.

I'm planning to stick mostly to that desert area, my box on the map goes a bit wide though.

I just need to check with whoever has the small stone tower on the other side of the desert before I start building.

Oh god I just realized something funny. That's the area near where I was gonna build in XD But nah it's cool, I got sick of getting killed on the way to Kraut's place and losing things. Lookin' forward to your project :)

BTW guys, just to mention... I might expand my territory, please be aware of that :cool: I'll give a warning if I do :yep: Because I'm still deciding on the scale of my project. So it's a possibility I might take some more of that area :)

To add my own way of loosing hearts... if you like an adrenaline rush, step into the hole in the back room of my place.

Disclaimer: I have no health regenerative items below. Open the door/gate at your own risk!

And once you find yourself safely below still alive, ... and eventually bored ... or lost, you will come up with the question: "How do I get out of here?"

Tip: don't bother with the ladders, it's the water-stair that does the trick.

(Obviously there is no need to demolish anything to make it work. So don't grief my place trying to find a way out!!!)

Something I noticed about the new Spawn-point Castle. There are ladders on the outside to get out of it. But some are not completely safe. On my way to my place I must have slipped and dropped myself. I lost a heart or so coming down from the external ladder. I noticed that there was no solid ground under the ice. Which probably made my fall deeper than the safe 4 block limit. (More than 4 blocks makes you start to loose hearts) I'll try to fix this myself the next time I get there. Just a heads up to you guys.

Also, 3 blocks of water should break a fall from any height. (hint! :up:)

Sorry, they have to be ladders to stop mobs getting onto them. I did leave a couple with water so that you had a safe drop outside, and there are two with internal staircases.

Climbing down ladders is a tricky art to master.

The spawn is a community project. Damaging it annoys not one person, but every person.

Zirran says he noticed this about 3 hours ago, I know the daytime is quiet so the logs might reveal something.

I've fixed everything now but can I ask people to check the full extent of the moat every time they pass through the spawn. The better we can narrow down the times of the attacks, the sooner we'll catch the git responsible, and the sooner you can form your lynch mob.

Just a suggestion; I don't know if Arc is capable of doing this, or if we have on for something like LOLWAFFLES that isn't used all the time.

But maybe we could have a TS/Vent or somesuch thing up for this server?

Fack; just realised i posted thrice in a row -.-'

Just a friendly reminder because I can hear pitchforks being sharpened. No lynch mobs until we have firm evidence. You know who you are.

Of course once we have firm evidence it's still no lynch mobs until Arc says so, so don't get your hopes up.:shucks:

I wasn't tightening my pitchfork or practicing my hangman's noose I swear :shifty:

Can we at least repeatedly set the griefer on fire with flint and tinder?

You guys really take things too seriously. Someone breaks a few blocks and suddenly you guys are contemplating taking his life and banning him forever. My friend dug through someone's floor and you all go ape, wasn't like anyone was using that floor anyway, and below it was a rather prosperous mine i believe. I break some glass to check something out because i couldn't be bothered typing a question only to have it appear half an hour later due to the mega lag. Then suddenly it is the apocalypse and everyone goes postal to me and my friend.

But seriously, yeah we acted like noobs, we said we are sorry, so can't we all just get along now? (A poorly desguised attempt to ask politely for the server ip)
You really aren't making sense here. You're going from trolling to pleading.

You're free to have your opinion, but fact is it's no surprise people responded the way they did to the way you 2 behaved. If you can't be bothered to type a message... well, that says enough in itself, doesn't it?

Sigh... It's not about few blocks. It's about respect and keeping up the Subsim spirit that makes this site so great. It's about having fun and not needing to worry about someone being an a-hole.

You didn't only break the rules, but you invited a friend without asking or notifying Arclight about it and then continued to lie about not knowing him.

That's not really what Subsim, as a community, is about, is it? :-?

02-10-11, 08:47 AM

I actually did type in many messages including answers to peoples questions. But by the time they appeared on screen they where irrelevant.

Does sub sim believe in second chances?

Also there where a few other randoms on the server who on one knew,

You set the tree farm on fire twice and I caught you destoying someone's project. Next time you try greifing, don't drop Flint and Steel when you die at the scene of a large fire that you have set. Especially when you have a lot of trigger happy people whose hard earned work has either been stolen or destroyed!

Lets face it, the rules of the lynch mob are final.

Arclight

02-10-11, 08:49 AM

What it comes down to is you're too inconsistent. First of all, you're still not addressing the matter of lying about knowing that "new player". And now you come back into the discussion by opening with trolling:
So I hear you have a griefer.........
Trollololol
And then you proceed to ask for a second chance.

It's not about not being willing to give you that, it's about the fact I can't bloody trust someone as erratic as that.

Jankowski

02-10-11, 09:11 AM

Twice? Your lying!

Ok i admit to burning it down once because i was acting like a retard and i didn't think the damage would be that great. I thought that the fire would leave behind all the logs and leaves. Then i dropped the flint because i knew it was a dangerous object. I just did not want to look nooby in front of you guys so i covered up.

But twice?! No way!

Oh and you can make the trap any size you want, even 1 block wide lava/water trap works AFAIK.
