I can honestly say Minecraft Classic and Alpha are the most addicting games I have ever played in recent memory. They virtually consumed the whole of my last weekend when I am not sleeping, and before I realised it, Monday is here.
Sucks when time really does fly when you're having fun. |

Yup, Minecraft's still eating my time more so than any other game.
I wonder what is to be expected when the game goes beta? |

QUOTE(bobohead1988 @ Oct 3 2010, 09:27 PM) Dont know. Notch currently busy setting up a company so no updates from now until december perhaps I'm expecting delays, but December? Guess I'll just look for something else to do to tide my time 'til the next major update rolls around. Character skinning is also fun. Great way to brush up my rusting pixel art skills.

Finally amassed enough iron ingots to lay out a two-line railway network that leads to my lumberyard and a newly discovered cave (which is pretty far away), complete with booster carts and elevated cobblestone bridges.
It cut down traveling time a lot, but there is still the matter of connecting my house to the central station (the former is perched atop a cliffside; the station further down, inside the mountain). I've dug out a starter tunnel from my greenhouse that will do just that. Will also test out railway switches and minecart automation later. Youtube doesn't have a shortage of tutorial videos on how to set them up. I also think I have redstone circuits and logic gates figured out (tested them on a metal door in my house's basement); only problem is I have yet to find a practical use for it.

 I liek Snow World. Makes my home even cozier. Only downside is reeds and cacti are hard as hell to find. On a side note, I've extended the railway line linking my second cave system even further to a newly discovered and larger cave system. Minecarts with boosters are proving incredibly handy for speedy travel; I hope it's not nerfed next update. EDIT: Well, almost connected the cave. Just found out the openings are on the other side of the hill where the line terminates. Time to craft more tracks. This post has been edited by Parrot: Oct 20 2010, 03:30 AM |

QUOTE(NecrosavaNt @ Oct 19 2010, 03:09 PM) just duplicate the cacti and reed. plant a block -> wait for it to grow -> cut off 2 blocks -> plant at another spot -> repeat That is if you can find one of each. I planned to plant at least one block of bamboo and cactus in the greenhouse, but as of right now, I have yet to find a single one because Snow World has made it absolutely difficult for these things to grow and be visible when I conduct scouting trips.The only other bet is to stumble across these in a dungeon, which is why I'm aggressively looking for deep cave systems.

QUOTE(bobohead1988 @ Oct 22 2010, 10:58 AM) Aw, they're so cute. My command-prompt starter booster at my home base station is going along fairly well, thanks to a few JewTube tutorials and a simple but effective circuit system. Once finished, no longer will I have to manually push a cart to a booster before jumping on to the cart, but simply sit on the stationary cart and push a button. Once that's done, I'll start work on the track switches at this station so the lines can be centralised. |

I've managed to set up three automatic minecart boosters at three minecart stations, but I've hit a snag. It turns out the configuration of the boosters is designed as such that the booster carts stop dead after I leave the chunks where they are located.
This means I have to restart these things each time I return from a faraway place, which is a shame because these boosters are so powerful that they could propel even unloaded carts all the way to the next station. I found more reliable alternatives possessing far less boosting power. The OP but glitching booster and the alternate but weaker ones can be seen in these respectable tutorials: This post has been edited by Parrot: Oct 25 2010, 10:18 AM |

QUOTE(Sewerspeakers @ Oct 26 2010, 10:30 PM) Its climate. That's the reason I haven't expanded my current map the past 2 weeks or so. I just hope the biome variation isn't too drastic over shorter distances; it'll look very odd.Imagine randomly generated snow mountain, area with more trees than usual, desert, snow desert, snow forest, all in the same map save. |

QUOTE(yuhhaur @ Oct 27 2010, 03:34 AM) I would like to share my findings on minecart system. It's all fine and dandy, except we need an effective booster system that will keep the booster cart in motion when the system is idle (as mentioned in my earlier post).Here is the schematic of my arrival station. First is the idle state where no cart is coming in:  A recycle cart will spin at section 1 as indicated at diagram above in green. Section 2 is open. Then, when minecart carries someone come in and land on the pressure plate:  The pressure plate will send signal via redstone circuit to open section 1 and close section 2. The spinning recycle cart at section 1 will be release to section 2, and will be spinning. When the guy leave the cart, the redstone will send another signal to close section 1 and open section 2. The recycle cart on section 2 will come over and collect the cart.  The recycle cart, will go back to loop section 1 and the entire system is reset. I do not draw out the actual implementation as it varies between north/south/east/west facing but the general idea is there. Also, separate booster track are required in section 1 and 2 for keeping the cart spin. Will test out this system later though. This post has been edited by Parrot: Oct 27 2010, 06:57 PM |

QUOTE(NecrosavaNt @ Nov 1 2010, 05:58 AM) they probably will see u, shoot and break your glass passage.. anything as hard or harder than cobblestone will be safe Which is why I built my fortress in hell with cobblestone or better. Even the windows have no glass and as a result are only 1x1 block holes (that doesn't stop a handful of Ghast spit from flying through and blasting the shit out of my interior. And the doors have to be metal, because wooden doors just blow off in an explosion; also I prefer my base not be intruded by those uninvited non-halal freaks.This post has been edited by Parrot: Nov 1 2010, 07:38 PM |
