From what I've read, only some blocks are affected by gravity (sand, gravel), rest will stay in place even after destroying all other blocks underneath it.

floating objects are not only posible in minecraft, it's not uncommon for them to occur naturally.

So if the back side of the fenris is left open, should there be some form of entrance on that side? would be able to leave the side that is viewable from the minecart rails un-marked that way.

Cobble farm updated, it now produces up to 3.8 cobble blocks per second if mined correctly.
The Fenris is almost self sutaining, all materials required other than sand can be produced indefinetly.

There is a teleport sign if the plan is not to leave a visible entrance.

[-Sara-]

Yea I made that sign to avoid the common "FACK! I FELL OF THE STAIRS. Someone seen my diamond tools, it's night and I can't find them!". 

[Pred the Penguin]

Good luck trying to find them, cause it's always night under the fenris. o_o
I've lost some diamond tools and fair amount of iron tools down there, too.

Who keeps blowing off small layers under the Fenris? There's enough TNT to take out an entire chunk on one end if need be.

[Pred the Penguin]

I think I'll be focusing on whittling away the surface area with TNT next. We need more sand for more TNT anyway.

Apparently it's Sandwich. I guess he doesn't want to blow it all away at once.

[TrashMan]

I got a dozen stacks of sand tucked away in a few chests....

[Pred the Penguin]

You have more sand?! What did you do, remove a desert?

Back side as in the far side from the basecamp, right? The starboard side of the ship, not the stern where the engines are...

And yes, I envision a minecart track entering the fore section and exiting the stern section, both on the starboard side. There should probably be 3 stations inside, front, middle, and back. When I can log in tonight I'll try to layout the path of the track I'm thinking of.

Yeah, I did a little bit the other day. Whenever I detonate TNT in a series, it leaves behind glitchy, about-to-explode TNT blocks that don't really exist, so I do things one at a time.

[Pred the Penguin]

You can just reconnect to make them disappear...

[Sandwich]

Maybe so, but with my lag issues, by the time my connection catches up and is mostly lag-free, I'm very reluctant to disconnect just to get rid of some glitches.

[KyadCK]

yes I meant the far side from the station, though I stand by the idea that that side (far side from station) should be glass and not left empty. Falling hazard and all that.

[Sandwich]

I'm not opposed to glass, although sand is scarce enough as it is with all the TNT we've been crafting. I do want to make sure that the glass looks good in a small section before committing to the entire thing.

Regardless, that's one of the last things we should be doing.

if anything the whole minecraft craze has made me go back to my collection of unfinished quake 1 and 2 maps, which are made oddly enough from small cubes that you place and deform to get some kind of map out of. its also somewhat reminicent of playing with legos, which i would rather do for real than in some kind of simulation. so my desire to play minecraft is somewhat non-existant. still id give it a go if it were open source, but since its not, and becoming a commercial game, **** no.

The land doesn't re-mold itself by itself you know....


Oh, BF..got several stacks of gravel for your little castle thingy.

[-Sara-]

People made a bridge on top but afaik the bridge is in the front, in the spearhead shaped hull section, two rows of white windows. Much the same as Corellian Corvette.

[Sandwich]

Personally I like to think that the FS bridges are like BSG bridges - situated in the most protected part of the ship, the core.

Granted, in the FS1 intro we see that ops woman looking out the windows in front of her at the approaching damaged fighter, so perhaps there's not much sense after all.
