Minecraft

Also your base is very stealth, lol. I *definitely* didn't find all of it. Although your mine is very well-organized, I like the signs for each level.

 

naw thats fine. as you can tell by my upside-down map, my directions arent very good in minecraft, and I thought you were west of avalon, which would put you a hell of a lot closer to me.

I cant tell if sarcasm or not O_o (are the ** for emphasis or sarcasm?)
thank you about the mine!! It toak a while, but was worth it cause now it looks nice, unlike the rest of my underground base

edit: oo. warning. pretty soon you may want to go down and deactivate that dark patch in the taiga biome. Ive dealt with the one north by me, but havent bothered with the southern one. (it increases mob spawns, you have to break the aura node to get rid of it)

 

oh - emphasis, not sarcasm, sorry. I should just use italics like a normal person. And thanks for the warning, I'll deal with that next time I'm on. I'm going to go to bed for tonight - I've got my base roofed, which I think makes this a good day's work. :)

 

I would like to claim blue/purple for my ender prefix

 

blue/purple/?

they are three colour combos :l

 

Everyone gets a 2 colour prefix, so basically they own every third colour associated with the original 2 as well. I think mine is like... pink/magenta, or something like that.

 

Oh.

Well.

I hadn't heard that, like whatsoever.
When I claimed mine I picked a three colour one
Strange.

 

I took extensive notes on this thread, which I'm planning to compile into some kind of newbie guide, maybe, at some point. Anyway, here's the prefixes as they stand, to the best of my knowledge (and giving anyone who listed a three-color combination the first two as their prefix):

Server: black/black
Seebs: magenta/magenta
Avalon: green/blue
littlepinkbeast: pink/pink
something_blue: blue/blue
Kaylotta: red/white
jacktrash: green/white
Imoyram: black/dark green
Luka: red/orange
Hobo: pink/magenta
Nianeyna: blue/purple

In addition, white/white/white is free-for-all inventory that empties into an ME storage unit near jacktrash's base; blue/blue/blue is free food; red/red/red is designated for player trades; and there has been a proposed "bee box" using either black/yellow/black or yellow/black/yellow (since putting bees in the white/white/white box would clog it up pretty quickly, as they don't stack). And that covers all the ender storage conventions I know of, lol.

 

Forestry peeps! Where do you get your seed oil? Most of the seeds I have aren't compatible with the squeezer and it's very annoying.

Also I scanned everything in Seebs' base with the thaumometer. so many delicious research points.

Also also I may need to find a secondary base. The taiga is not optimal for bee production, it turns out.

 

i have not messed with this personally but i believe vanilla seeds serve just fine. i have a large wheat farm on my base, plus a barrel with much wheat in it free for the taking. if you would like to grab some you are welcome to. (i have no idea what my coords are, though i think they were recorded somewhere upthread? i haven't been on in months, but there's a train stop labeled w my username (astrodynamicist, same as here) so hopefully that will help))

 

I think some of the harvestcraft fruits(& nuts maybe?) work. I know the cherries do, as that's what I've been using, but wheat farming is probably easier to do at large scales, even [though] the seeds make less oil per unit

(edited for missing word)

 

Note that there is a shapeless crafting recipe that lets you turn wheat into seeds as well, so if you set up a farm for seeds you can use the wheat for seeds too

 

oh dude you can turn wheat into seeds? sold, giant wheat farm it is. :D

 

I figured out why refineries aren't working. It's because we have galacticraft oil, and (buildcraft) refineries only work with buildcraft oil. Well. That kind of tanks (heh) my power-generation plan...

 

*wails*

I FORGOT YOU WERE MOVING THE OFFICE AND GOT ALL AMPED TO PLAY

now i have to work.

 

BC and Galacticraft oil are both a thing! the geysers are buildcraft oil and there are massive wells underground. don't fall into BC oil, shit's like quicksand.

 

ohhhhhhh okay. Well I ended up going with magmatic dynamos (which are safer than combustion engines anyway) but maybe I'll try the refinery again at some point just for funsies. And to show it who's boss.

 

Hello I am here to whine about my fucking atrocious attention span, I spent most of the day trying to work out the best setup for a fast hammer that'll make excavating the area around my new base easier, got it built, got all the extra modifiers added, thought to myself 'Wait, I shouldn't add lapis to this, I don't need fortune on something that's only for mining stone', then 5 seconds later I had added lapis to my hammer. Fuck you, attention span! I NEEDED THAT FOR REDSTONE.

Edit: Also since this is a useful resource, here's an updated list of TiC material stats. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...lD4qPwSo3sHIN-adeOBM/edit?pli=1#gid=0&vpid=A1

 

man. i can't remember the last time i was on. been a weird couple months. Feel guilty neglecting my pixel goat and pixel chickens. and my hole in the ground where i was experimenting with orebamfs. Should get back on once rl stops sucking up my spoons.
