Does mute build or just farm?

Hello top post!

I have added a castle accessible only by the spawn->rift railroad.
Small food production on the 3rd floor if anyone needs a melon or a bread.

How does one get up onto that floating island?

The rail line to the Great Divide is now complete. I've ridden it back and fourth without issue. I still need to add some more torches in a few dark spots and, maybe, add some stoppers and starters for people who don't want to attack their minecart to get off. But, that aside, it works, it's awesome, thanks for the iron Grimm, EVERYONE COME RIDE IT.

[Oh God Spiders No]

So awesome, it's such a beautiful ride. The Great Divide is like the Wall from Game of Thrones. This server is amazing.

I'm actually thinking about giving my home a stop on the rail line; something I was very opposed to before.

Hey, can we all try to avoid exploring any more of the world or the nether until 1.9 drops? There's some cool biomes on their way, and it would be nice to increase our chances of seeing them.

Construction on my latest project is complete: An elevated bridge that connects Krathicus Tower to my tower out in the wasteland beyond the Divide. The wasteland is, like, monster spawn central. This makes it easier to make the trip and, hey, if any of you rail riders want to check out my new home, now you know the way! Obviously, it's rather inspired by Ico / Shadow of the Colossus.

I also, sadly, said goodbye to my cliffside dwelling and tore it apart for scrap. No big loss though.

I'm thinking about maybe severing all the balconies from my tower (minus where it connects with the bridge) to make it look more stark and minimalist. Whaddya think?

Spiders, so what are the new biomes?

[Oh God Spiders No]

Some sort of mushroom biome in the overworld, and Demon Fortresses in the Nether.

I already hacked 'em off. :( But I have vague and undefined plans of building an entire castle around it, sooo...it may not matter!

I think I need to ride the rail back to the spawn and spend a few days exploring what has changed since I traveled west with my brothers.

[CubaLibre]

I can tell you from experience that returning to the core after a long period out in the wilderness is always awe-inspiring.

eh its easy enough just to smash the mine cart to stop. I also kind of like that I can get it running and then just come back later.

I would like to elect a pair of "train conductors" to simply exist at two points which cover a constantly moving subway line.

Each stop at each of our houses should have one of these:

Which is what the one at spawn was like before it got subverted and subsumed into the greater rail structure (Don't mind one bit that it happened). The picture only features the one-way stop. The two-way is what you describe, with a rail pressure plate in the middle to transfer the power to the opposite rails so they don't stop being powered while you continue onward.

Incredibly basic but functional. I sort of want to try a more complicated station but I think the prototype will be out in the wilderness before trying to make it fit at spawn or the Great Divide. We should think about sending a branch out to booji's cathedral too.

[boojiboy7]

I would appreciate that. I have yet to get out and explore, but once I finish the big room under the cathedral I am working on, I would love to.

[drobe]

So, I have been having the toughest time maintaining reasonable connections with the server. Drobefish cave, I'm sorry. Maybe next time.

You did a really good job there, with an off the cuff first take run through of your place.

[JoeX111]

Yeah, I haven't been able to connect either. :(

The skull house was just built on a whim because it was dark and I needed a place to sleep and thought sleeping in a a skull would be cool.
I have no real attachment to it.

Hey, everyone I've shown the server to who doesn't play Minecraft has asked to see a walkthrough of the Acropolis.



So, I'm thinking, using the following design in our "station" points--assuming we want to get elaborate here--we can set it up so there are always minecarts available for players to hop into, press a button and go. The pressure point releases the waiting minecart to roll down the tracks to the position you previously departed from. It's quite clever, I think (not my idea, totally stole it). I think it would require more boosters on the Great Divide Line, since the carts don't seem to go as far without a human operator inside. Hmmmm.

FWIW, the server's down for me right now.

looks like the host was having some problems. working fine for me at the moment.

i'm not really playing this anymore, except to occasionally check that everything's running. i really love what everybody's done and have had a great time playing. if anybody would like to take the account reins let me know! i'll probably come back for a good while after the next update.

here's the latest invoice: https://www.minecraft-servers.com/groupinvoice.php?id=5259&key=99a0dbd35b71fddd0de3726adbc3906d
if it's not paid by date due i'll gladly top it off, if general interest has waned or anybody would like a copy of the latest map backup, let me know!

[JoeX111]

I'd kinda like a copy of the backup, so I can explore and marvel in single player without getting blown up by creepers left and right.

[Oh God Spiders No]

Offal, I'll take the reins if you want. I'm feeling very lonely so clearing out those orbs will be number one on the agenda.

[OffalAl]

thanks for footing the invoice, all.

if there aren't any other takers i'll clean up and send spiders a pm on monday

[cavefish]

i was gonna suggest you give the account to grimmsweeper, since he's the most responsible guy that already has powers plus he's good at math, but i'm cool with spiders or any of the other bros taking it
