What like the Skylands? ...Confused.



Far Lands. The edge of the map. A little over a year ago a trip there was cancelled because apparently going out that far generates huge lag, though I did talk to Dark about it last week and he said it wouldnt be a huge issue, other then making the map file bigger which wouldn't affect our side of things. But like I said, I'm on a Terraria bender, so ya'll have about a week to figure it out lol.

No, I said heading out further into the world wouldn't be an issue.

Heading out to 3000000 (or whatever the far lands event horizon is), is an issue for various reasons:
1) Why would you waste your own time like that?
2) Just do it in Single Player where you can delete the world when done
3) Just do it in Single Player with cheats enabled so you can type /tp 30000000 job done.

When you generate chunks, they stay there taking up disk space. While this is fine for people playing the game and exploring (even those heading out to 25000 etc), generating the amount of chunks necessary just to visit a 3000000 boundary that you can see in Singleplayer or Youtube videos is frowned upon (may be an understatement ).

Just double-checked the wiki, seems I was right the 2nd time, (not the 1st or 3rd time). The boundary is at 30 million.

Eh, I'm ok with it. It's a desert (which most people seem to avoid anyway) and the amount of effort to surround the entire biome is enough to earn it I think.

I think that's the point.... Build a fence to stop people building on top of your underground base.

We need to encourage felsi to change that fence in to a wall, complete with towers and crenelations.

I think it's up to Felsi what he does with his huge tracts of land, so we should probably stop ogling them

Well, here's a render of it (or the West wall at least). Fiddled about with water some more, and also figured out Field of View settings, just hope I didn't overdo it on this one.

After being hounered by dark with a render of my walls I thought I might say a few words;

Spoiler:
This wall started life as a simple project, to make out my boundaries and keep pesky players out. The design started in paint with a rough outline, then it was submitted to dar to make sure It was allowed, after approving the project I had to make up a suitable wall design. I played in creative for about 5 minutes trying to think up something, but was unsucsessful. I looked at the walls absolutionistuses for his concentration camp village and decided they were too fancy, then I found his image and decided to make similar walls, however I modified them for my own needs and the walls stared to spring up along the south boundary, the towers were my own creation, a simple design to be dotted along the wall. unfortunatly however, not knowing of cobble generators, I quickly ran out of cobble, as I had just finished the shroom biome road, and consturction ground to a halt shortly before the south gate. wood also became a problem, I was consuming vast quantities for the platforms and charcoal tomake the square-stone-bricks, and soon I was begging all over the server for spare cobble.

Eventually I managed to get a sizeable farm started, and production started again, but alas it has stopped again, this time as my will reserves are empty, and I can't be bothered at the moment to finish the wetern and northern sections, which are about the same length again.


it makes me so proud that people like my stuff

That was all semi-serious btw,

think that's wolf's. He definitely built the trio of smaller modern ships, and the birch yacht nearby.

seeing those ships, you've reminded me of my own (the weird looking dark wood one)... might finish that once I get the wool for the sails...

Oddly enough, fences don't look all that bad for smaller sails.

She's like an onion; there are lots of layers and she can make you cry like a baby.

But she tastes nice.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
