Progress report.

Found a bug with the Trade Station (crashes the server), so unlinked linking books will be free because the forestry trade station is silly and over complicated and I'm not adding the vending mod.

I've generated a nice chunk of world from -2000,-2000 to 2000,2000 so you don't all lag the server going exploring (and then complain because it's laggy). I'm going to do the same for Twilight tomorrow (but maybe not as large an area), as that seems to be popular for exploration and also intensive to generate.

I also have to unlock and check the promised land works before "locking" it again for you lot to find and unlock. (It was working fine on a previous release, but best to double check).

Then there's server-y stuff to do, (set up backups etc), get the map installed and configured and working etc, but most of that can be copied from Ultimate.

As long as things go smoothly (and I don't have to attend to any real world tasks ), it could be ready by early Friday evening GMT. Maybe. No promises. I'm still maintaining the nether rule

Actually once exploring the Nether I realized how much of a terrible place and hard place it is to survive there D:.

The nether = evil. I died even diamond in the single player test world I have for unleashed.

**SagesStone**

First look at it, still very WIP.

For the real one, the walls and floors will be covers mostly. The floors will be spruce so that can be left bare for some rooms. Will be a second floor, can see the stairs.

Currently it's also filled with bats.

**darkinnit**

Looks good, but note those Redpower lamps aren't available, so it would have to be glowstone or the illuminators I linked earlier.

If you're having crashing problems with Unleashed and you just went and enabled all mods, try disabling death timer and vending again, as death timer crashes on world creation and vending crashes in creative mode. Fun.

What material is that made of? Looks vaguely marble-ish- again not in Unleashed.

**darkinnit**

Yeah but Vanilla Nether Quartz is in 1.5, so close enough.

**4oursword**

So it is. And there's Whitestone from MFR.

You seem to be in Russia again.

**darkinnit**

Sorry, Lamarr knocked a cable from the teleporter again.

**4oursword**

Looks like you got back pretty quickly.

**darkinnit**

Because teleporters. Anyway, in case the Lamarr reference went over your head (ha ha!), Link

**4oursword**

Never played any of the Half-Life games. Oh well.

**Corpsesarefun**

Heretic

**Wyrmalla**

The whole series is like £10 on steam. Go fix that gaping hole in your gaming life. =)

**Corpsesarefun**

Also I should be back on the server on the weekend, though unfortunately I won't have much spare time in the week.

**4oursword**

I have never paid for anything from Steam and don't intend to start now. I'll nick a copy off frostoman instead if I feel like it, but the only shooter I play is TF2, and Metroid Prime on occasion.

**darkinnit**

So the Ultimate server is now down for good :( I'll make the world available for download at some point, but may have to break it up by dimension (some of you went a bit powersuit happy generating chunks...)
The map has moved to http://www.darkinnit.com/oldftbmap/

Now, fun things are happening at:
http://www.darkinnit.com/ftbmap/

Hurrah, 90% of the blocks I built spawn with are invisible on the map! Yeay!

As with the previous map, you can't claim things just by pointing them out on the map, you have to wait till the server is available and you have actually gone there in game.

**Avatar 720**

I claim that big stadium-looking structure in the middle. The world-gen must've worked pretty hard to come up with something like that.

**Dr. What**

I shall be headed south.

I hope to be able to claim that village once I get on (I need the bee keeping NPC and his possessions). Plus, it'll be a great place to set up Schellan Farms.

**Ramos Asura**

Amazing.... So many biomes just begging to be explored (and plundered)

Thanks for all your hard work, dark. Cant wait to get rolling on this world!

**Anvildude**

Are those... Ice trees? That's awesome.

Also, Iiiinnnteresting... Looks like the Mage's Tower is going to be Stone this time around. Makes things easier- stone, iron, generally rocky things...

And Grundz! Wasteland right there, with a nice big body of water next to it! Hurrah!

**Wyrmalla**

Oh wow, such weird looking biomes. Odd seeing it without giant death rays and castles everywhere.

What are those white blocks all over the place like at; 300, 500?

Is that corn at 0, 600?

**Asherian Command**

Hmm. Must grab some iron and some swords and steal a lich tower to make as a home. Anyone wanna help me conquer one? I just need a place to stay if you want to you can also take half the loot

**Wyrmalla**

I'm trying to find a nice spot to put my town on, but if you're on when the server goes up I'm game to help. ^^

**Asherian Command**

Just need to go to the mining world with pickaxe on hand and just dig for like a good two hours and prepare my weaponry to go to the twilight forest.

**Wyrmalla**

If only wood armour was a thing... =P

Ah, found the right spot on the map. I'm not saying I'm claiming 1400, 400, but I'm totally claiming that spot. Hmn, though I could just transmute all the sand I'm needing instead.

* Goes there only to find a sign from Darkinnit saying that he owns it.

**Dr. What**

This village is perfect! It's already got apiaries and has at least 2 hives nearby!

It was happening when I tried to search through the items so I figured it may have been the block ID thing. I guess them not being in there makes it cheaper as well, suppose I'll be making a large use of the gaseous glowstone.

Marble, but I'm thinking quartz, whitestone or even snow will work out just as well for it. Even a light grey like concrete if it's still in there would work with the palette I'm going with.

**zman111**

does it rain in redrock biomes?

**Wyrmalla**

Nope. If you toggle debug I think it tells you the humidity of an area. They're class as arid like deserts.

However in that it doesn't rain, mobs will still spawn as though it were. So if you happen to see them toting about in the sun that's the reason. Still, if you're like me and you the constant rain annoys you, this may be a small issue to bear. =P

**zman111**

Im planning on settling in a quiet biome, the loud rain bothers me however I wont really get to plop down shop until tuesday

You're very welcome! I've certainly put a lot more effort into the spawn area this time around, (mainly thanks to how long it took them to get a release ready).

Wyrmalla wrote:What are those white blocks all over the place like at; 300, 500?

Natura clouds. Can't find a wiki link, but they spawn above the vanilla clouds, are actual blocks, and you can stand "in" them. You can mine them and place them and they cushion any fall similar to how water does. There are also ash and sulfur clouds in the nether which have some use in crafting recipes I think.

Extra Utilities has the rain muffler block if you want to live in a biome of your choice without worrying about rain noise:
