I would love to get involved with this!
I might not be able to be on much, but I am willing to help.
Can I please have the fourth Moderati position?



EDIT: Where is it being built?

Obbie could look really good, as well as being resiliant to creeper blasts.
Every titan leigon has its own paint scheme (I think) so ours could be Purple/Black.

Just remembered, Dark copied my lab to the new world. That has an obsidian generator in it.

It turns redstone into obbie.


Not sure where it is now though.

We will have to set up a mine somewhere just for this project, so we can bring up enough material to build it.


Also, enchantments should help. If I remember correctly, their is one which speeds up mining times.



EDIT: Just got the lab co-ords from dark:
x: -2062
z: 1537

He said it is in the lower left of the map, just incase the co-ords are wrong. (From what I know of how the co-ords work, I think they are correct for lower left)

Well, it can't be more than 2:1 Scale, as we have only a 128 box between bedrock and skylimit.
I think 2:1 is sensible.

This is going to be more work than the manor.....



But it will be great once it is finished.

It isn't finished, but I think it has been going about 3/4 months now.

Minetruck's large cobble box grinder wasn't coppied over.

Is this public?

If so, where is it, I would appreciate the gold.

TNT? That would make it faster to dig the hole.

Do we have a grinder? For creepers.

If we do, someone can stand there, afk, with an empty inventory to gather gunpowder while a couple of others dug up a desert.

That way, we get our tnt over time, and can begin to dig the hole. While this is being done, other people can be gathering materials for the titan itself.

Impractical, possibly.
Impossible, definitly not.

What you have just said was the same sort of thing I though when you first told me about the manor. But that has worked.
This may take a while, possibly more than a year even, but I am confident that we can do it. Minecraft is a sandbox building game, planning and executing massive projects is what makes it so fun/addictive.

And here's an idea. Only have the front area carved out- but instead of a big amphitheatre for people to gawk at the titan, make it like a work bay. The wall will be right behind it, with struts and walkways for 'maintenance', and in front will be a big ramp, as though it'll just walk out of it's hole when needed. That will be a lot less excavation, on the whole.

I agree with both of these points.
We should do it.

4oursword wrote:I agree, but I'm not entirely sure how it'll look. Anyone care to knock up a sketch or such like?

If someone has the time, how about making it in creative mode?

We really need to build a safe route down. I fell and then died about 15 times trying to get my stuff back, I never managed to find it though.

How are we mining the towers that are left?

Picks or TNT?

web2.dakkadakka.com

That should work.

Anvildude wrote:And we need to determine what the titan will actually look like- I'd suggest using dirt to 'sketch' the shape and size of it before doing anything else.

Agreed, once we have the shape done, we can work on the accutal materials we need for the proper, finished version.


I assume we are going for a detailed interior as well? At least for the command area.

n0t_u wrote:Don't cover it over yet, wait for the update to be certain.

Agreed. This is only a snapshot, it isn't certain that it will make it in.

That's a lot of materials...
