Yeah, it was amazing but I got some heavy lag going to near the Basement and massive item sorter.

Its OK long as you stay away from the main mob grinder core and the sorter

In other words the tower

If you give me advance notice, I can at least turn off the mob farm, but with 3 people in the tower it would be quite the show

with it off there's not much hopper activity going on, nor as many mobs to be tracked.

Do you have your hoppers capped? A hopper with an open top updates each tic, while a hopper with a solid block above it only updates when items move through it.

Yep, I capped all the ones I could, but when the mob farm is going, It produces around 130,000 items per hour that all get's filtered, stored, then most of the items go into the overflow and into disintegrators. a dropper pointed into lava. Sometimes those filters break and empty the hopper so everything goes into 1 filter, overflows the chests and everything following gets destroyed. That happens fairly regularly, and luckily didn't when the egg went through.

despite the occasional glitch, that's my second favorite storage system I made, the prismarine farm being my favorite.

If only regular mob spawned could match that for potential insame xp grinding!

I saw that prismarine farm - the only impression I remember is a vast system of chests and hoppers as far as the eye could see.... It was something to see, and a truly titanic construction and system.

I have not started yet another castle project, and the foundations are most certainly not visible just to the south of Ulm...

Dakka has a ender farm?

That's new to me.

The ULM fortress grows ever larger.

News to me too! Care to point it out Ralphy?

Not an expansion Helo.... a new castle....

https://www.darkinnit.com/newdakkamap/#/-519/64/-35/-2/2/0

you have to walk down the west tracks to get there.

Thanks

Thanks.. Never can have too much xp

Master of Ordience, you thought about using more baileys and such in your castles? You can still have strong gate houses etc an leave middle more open or have a grander hall

Oh and anyone willing to trade for a largish quantity of sand for concrete and glass production?

Double chest min.

Double chest min.

Sure. I've got a double chest of sand in front of the entrance of the Stone Shop at spawn. I'll trade it for two diamonds unless you want a different offer.

OOH. ive been to that place in real life.

Oh yeah, Darkinnit's castle project. He sorta lost interest in it, I think. But what's there is pretty neat.

Yeah. To be fair he built the main part of the castle. Bar the keep, thr main areas where mostly destroyed.

And concrete laying is going fast, already used up 16 stacks of the stuff though!

Stoney shore has a growing new facility.

though i doubt il bee on the dakka must see tourist trail lol

Oh, the castle? Yeah, I've been over there. It looks unfinished, but the fact that he managed to get so much in place is in itself impressive. Especially that moat. I shudder at how long it must have taken him to do that.

Il have to explore the server more
Theres a few food castles and fortresses dotted about the place.

And my concrete adventure continues, getting on for using 30 stacks in the project

Well, you can sail from your base all the way around to Ralphy's Tower of Lag - I have done it in fact!

Easy route. Shorter too if you take shortcut over land but theres also a nice place about 3.5k minus straight path from stoney shore that might be worth a look.

And some place that sounds intresting. Chasm hold?
Theres meant to be a Dakka dwarf city somewhere.

We dwarfs are out East. Chasmholm is Sleitsmithr's place- on the map you can find it under a beanstalk in the North-East corner. My place is further South, pretty much on the East-ward center line, with the big ice spire. It's one of the few Dakka buildings that's easily visible when zoomed all the way out.

Problem:
I cannot log in, my client is claiming that the server is out of date, running the 1.12.1 version where as I am apparently running 1.12.2.
Is anyone else having this problem?

i can check later, you can set up a new version to fix it on the MC loading screen without much trouble if that only problem.

They're firework launchers that I provided a few people to celebrate something or other many moons ago (either New Years, server anniversary, or a new Minecraft update, I've long forgotten what it was exactly).

Thank you server highloned

That's thr name!
Theres not much left of the castle, I mean there ruins and sections off the kitchen wall etc but most of the outer walls where gone.

The views where quite amazing from the real thing though.
The Basement walls where like a solid metre of brickwork too. It was a solid building.

Agh that makes sense. I saw redstone designs and such. I thought they might of been machines left over from some kind of dupe or part of a automated system for mob farms etc.

Yep. People used to ask me why I didn't line up the windows properly. But that's what they look like in real life!

Yeah. I kinda seen alot castles
You be surprised how many windows, doors, walls and things are on off angles. Lines or vary in size.

They where organic buildings that grew and changed over time not built in one era or designed by one architect.

Thanks for the update Dark, and for the stone Jhe and Ralphy - Ulm could not be expanded without you!

Now for a question: Beyond the map, which is the least explored direction?
