Well a 'locomotive' would be a better descripton. Officially it is called a 'powered minecart'. It's a minecart with a furnace on it.

This is already in game. Notch mentioned that there will be powered rails. Which is what I was asking about.

Indeed, the powered minecart has been in the game since I started playing MC. It sucks!

Obie, I was planning to work out which was the best way round for them to make Northern Line branches work at a later date.

I've been using the standard one-way auto-reset booster on the lines I've built so far. The only snags I've hit so far have been the occasional lag causing momentum to die early and the fact that non-OPs cannot drop minecarts or get into them around the original spawn. I've rectified the latter by putting in a second booster beyond the invisible forcefield which was marked out by TF (thanks TF) so non-OPs (and Geno's wolves) can use that booster instead.

Right, so was tinkering on my tower a bit, pretty far along, doing some work on the top. I had build sort of a scaffold to work on by jump-building a tower and then a ring around the tower. At some point, I ran out of stone and needed to get down. Long story short, I brutally murdered myself in the attempt.

So I start racing back from spawn, hoping to find my stuff but not counting on it. To my surprise, everything was there. Happily I went on my merry way, back to the top of the tower and down onto the scaffold...

So, now I'm stuck there, again. No stone blocks, no way down.

You're not very good at that whole building thing, are you?

That's what you get when you're from the low countries. We're not used to dealing with heights.

Have you slept in your own bed? You should have respawned near it.

It is a bit hit and miss the bed spawn system.

The tube line is now heading westward again, then we'll swing north and head for Keabs Hatak, after that it'll be north a bit more and then east to finish at Arcs place.

w00t. If you can place my station inside the bit of mountain that my base is built into, but between my tree farm and the cactus line.

The height I can deal with. It's my brain that's gonna kill me.

I did, several times. Guess it didn't take.

Just a heads up, Notch mentioned that in 1.5 he's removing the ability to climb ladders with alternating ladder pieces, it's got to be continuous.

I'll fix the ones at the spawn this weekend, but you might want to consider fixing your own.

I'm OK with it as long as he doubles the number of ladder pieces you craft...
