Ah, I was derping and thinking height instead.

It'd actually be a little bit more complicated if I did the pistons withdrawing the bookcases in to the ceiling/floor instead of moving back/forth.

As it is, I basically have two banks of the following in my three wall design:

B E P R D B E P R D B E P R D
Where B = bookcase, E = empty space,, P = sticky piston, R = repeater, D = redstone dust.

Along with a small line leading from below the lever to a tiny staircase leading to each bank, it is extremely minimal in terms of space, both vertical and horizontal.

I COULD do a ceiling design, but I admit that I really loathe buildings that are two spaces high, it's claustrophobic.

As do I. It'd sort of defeat the purpose somewhat if the building had a floor three blocks high or whatever and then a 5-6 block ceiling. You could also probably even cut down on that design if you wanted to save materials, though I think it may take up a little more space so not all that worth it.

Just use torches. n That's what I do.

Or if you like me then go SP and have redpower to then have frames push/pull bookcases as needed.

Frame are very nice items, I just wish that I could set up a decent MP server(I dont want to use tekkit/technic pack) with all the mods I would like to play with my partner. But I shall make do for now.

Finally got round to doing another Blender render. Here's a certain place from the server:



Figured out the water effect, although I'm not completely happy with the results here, it's still a start!

Is that a giant mustache or something?


Oh. It's a pick and hammer. Huh.

Thats my bridge! Dark I think I love you...

By the way shooms, thanks for the zombie xp farm in your area (right above that bridge in fact). It'll help me get my vine-plant farms going nicely, and help me build up a nice stock of wheat too.

the pick looks a little odd, but the water effect's really nice!

No problems, glad someone's finally using it.

The pick was designed differently to normal looking picks, to that it wouldn't clash with the hammer and look stupid. Its more like one of these Fancy Picks http://www.lamp-tramp.com/images/scott_brady_images/Fancy_Pick.jpg

Waits a while for the map to update, finds its been done just before I made my wall and thus I'm going to have to wait another two days until I can see how much more I need to build. =(

Feck!

Ha ha, well if you're good I might just update it tonight. What used to be a several hour process on my old pc now takes about 15 minutes on my new one (although uploading it still takes just as long).

Just noticed that I appear to be in two places at once according to that map... (one of the side effects of griefer investigating time travel I presume).

As long as you both don't come into contact it's all good.

GREAT SCOTT!

It's his children? They're in trouble with a local gang of griefers?

Yes, don't throw snowballs at each other or Mr Van Damme will have to Time Cop your ass for trying to become the President of Dakkaland. XD

Oh, also, whoever the current resident of Winterhold is (-1286, 2036), Sky_Slasher78 gave me permission to build a wall (-1212, 1700). As far as I can tell its outside of viewing distance by a ways (and just outside my own door), but just notifying anyone in the area in case anyone's wandering and come across a random wall.

Also, in future, do I have permission to build into the marsh and rivers in the area of -1189, 1345? I don't see myself needing the room in the immediate future (ie till my wall is done), but I'd rather expand in that direction than into the hills closer to Purplefood's and Winterhold, or the desert closer to Spectreoneone, so as not to cause any interference.

And just wondering, anyone know who lives here (-791, 1336), or if its even still inhabited?

Winterhold? From Skyrim? D:

You, sir, have made my day.

Ender... cactus?

I don't get it. It appears to be a link to a place off the edge of the map and so it's blank? Also it's not as far out as some people have already gone...

I thought that the farlands were removed from the game?

Just realised, when Felsi said he was going to fence off a whole biome, he did

If I can go further then 12000 then by Oden's raven I'm gonna do it!





As soon as I'm done my Terraria marathon...

0.0 Is that what that is? I remember jumping it on my first day on my server and being rather confused.

I hope I removed any jumping blocks btw. If there's any still there sorry about that.

There's a sign there for the mysterious Ender Cactus. Clearly a world ending event.

No, they're still there. But they generate much more normally now. Still, you get immense lag and world/biome generation is a bit off.

If only we could have Mine and Blade...
But unfortunately, it can't be updated to 1.3. Hook malfunction, or something. You can't dual wield anymore. 1.2.5 still works.

Ok if the farlands are still there do not go there.

We agreed around this time last year that a trip to the far lands is a really bad idea.

It's also 12+ million blocks out and would probably take normal people a few years to get there.

Far....lands.... 0.o

What like the Skylands? ...Confused.
