That stone generator isn't very reliable. I tried to build this one in creative mode. It's very similar but it's only slightly more reliable. It can break after a dozen blocks, after a hundred, I gave it a few chances. Which is a shame, since stone can be mined faster than cobble.

I broke the stone generator but it's fixed now. It will break again and I'd advise a new design instead of relocating it.

ok I think I have this figured out, and I can add in a reset switch to block the lava, then clean up the stray blocks, and get it working again quickly. the rough draft is only 7x6x4 so I'll look around and see if it will fit somewhere near your beacon.

ok I just decided to modify your stone generator for now and leave it where it is. there's a switch that will block the lava so you can clean out the cobble blocks and it won't destroy the source water.

I can't stop it from breaking as that's a combination of lag & water mechanics, but it is a whole last faster to clear now and get back to digging.

I do not know if this is the right place to poost this, but i would like to appeal against my ban from around 2 years ago.
I would like it if someone with high authority could contact me via private message so we can discuss this further.
Thanks in advance

"High authority" is a funny way to put it, plus bans are permanent. But hey, PM me with whatever you want to discuss.

The iron farm is open again, thanks for your patients while I gave the farm a new look.

next is to allow the current farmers to "retire" and fill the farms up again. Please do not trade with any villagers at the iron farm.

Anyone ever played any Vechs survival maps? (AKA Super Hostile maps)

I'm starting the Inferno Mines with the backpack mod and Keep Inventory in 1.5.1

Hey does anyone know of any 40k servers?

There was literally one, like, a page or two back (if not on the current page) of the FtB server thread. Apparently someone's managed to do a full-on 40K mockup Tekkit plugin mod thing.

I showed him. (he's my brother irl)


I downloaded Hexxit. Don't expect me to be on the server for the next month

Thraka, mind if I trade another 9 stacks of your redstone dust for 9 stacks of quartz?

How about letting me take all of your dirt and replace it with cobble? I've already traded a large chest because of what was said a month ago or so but I felt I should ask again, just in case.

Lotet, any time you're offering quartz for redstone, let me know!

Sure! I'll just try to go to your last location... here it seems. I'll place a small chest of quartz and we can trade 1:1 the next time you're on. I don't need an entire chest of redstone dust immediately but I've exhausted my supply so I'd like to get extra.

Sounds good to me. I'll gather my redstone. I think I have quite a bit nearby. I can log on imminently if that'd help?

Yah, the chest is down, sitting on the fence. 27 stacks of nether quartz. I really need about 9 stacks of redstone dust, any more you can trade will be helpful later.

I have loads of the stuff. Shall I drop 27 stacks in there? I'm sure I can gather it from my various chests.

I may be overestimating, of course...

Thanks for all the redstone man, really needed it.

Though there was a small problem getting it back. The Nether side portal got attacked by a ghast when I teleported through. I couldn't do much while it was loading my position, got worried I'd be knocked off the balcony and into the lava immediately after getting the redstone. It was a long walk back to spawn for some flint & steel, back to Sacred Mountain and back again. Just thought I should let you know about the risk of that balcony portal.

It is a risk! Sorry about that. I've not had any problems with it before... it just seemed like such a perfect spot for a balcony, but I was aware it did leave the user a bit exposed. I maybe need to extend the corridor a bit and have doors onto the balcony.

Let me know if you need more redstone -- I still have a couple of stacks of redstone blocks, so about 20 stacks of dust I guess.

OK, added an extra corridor section with a door, so there is now no risk of a ghast taking out the portal. At least not without taking out the door 1st.

I'm always up for trading Dirt for Cobblestone. I got a couple double-chests of dirt at my basement workstation if you want to do the trade. My place should be rather safer to get to, though I still need to fix up a proper netherside connector from the tunnel.

Lotet. Trading that stuff is fine. Just make sure I have at least 1 double chest of Dirt for scaffolding and 1 stack of redstone blocks left

Has Osh been on at all anytime recently. I need to ask him if he wants a station linkup with my spawn line.

(Overworld trail)

In other news, I need a LOT of glass. probably about 3 to 4 double chests worth. If you are interested PM me on here to work out a deal.

Literally any time you want to trade quartz (or glowstone) for redstone let me know! I have plenty of redstone lying around and not a great deal of quartz.

It's a lot of fun.

Alright, I've taken all the dirt offered. Thraka, I put most of the cobble in the storage hall. Anvildude, I hope you're fine with losing all your basement dirt. Thank guys.

Ah, I've already traded away most of my quartz. There's probably only enough to make a hut. But I'll remember the offer and I'll go to Mountain Crown if the need arises.

I was just using the redstone to extend South Tunnel. The sealed end of the tunnel isn't actually the end, it's more than twice as long as it looks. I just have it sealed because there's nothing on the other end so I don't want anyone wasting their time walking through, getting disappointed then walking all the way back.

You replying to the 4 year old original post? Maybe you should try posting to get on the Dakka server... unless you already have a server or don't play right now.
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/360817.page
Though you've only been here a month so I don't know if you could get in.

He'd get in, because he has clearly not signed up *purely* for the server, due to 45 posts in said month

server been down for awhile for everyone else too? haven't been able to connect for the last hour

Same here.

ditto

^^^^^^^^
Shrike!!!!!!

Hey, sorry for the delay, the server should be back up now.

Mind if I ask why it was down? Was something wrong with the server?
