Looks like you're playing Legend of Grimrock with those textures.


Does anyone want to trade me some gold? Mining for gold for powered rail is a big pain in the ass. Seems like I find more diamonds than gold.

[JCDNWarrior]

I do in fact have a bunch of gold I could certainly trade you, as I don't seem to have much use for them except perhaps decoration in the future. I have about five stacks of 64 gold blocks available.

My villager issues has been fixed rather easily, I'm in the process of removing every potential cause and reducing numbers to the point where its both managable and acceptable. Let's hope it works, next time this will be a NPC-barren chunk.

Ho ****. 64 Gold Blocks? fricken hell.

So what do you want for some of that? And where I should go to pick it up? (I know roughly where your city is but not specifics)

Don't really have anything exotic but I can pay you with diamonds or maybe a **** ton of stone or stone bricks if you need it. Or coal or red stone or lapis or slime or pretty much anything except nether stuff.
The main thing I need right now is gold.

We can meet up at spawn since /spawn still works, I think diamond and build materials are always helpful, though perhaps if you have a surplus of oak and other wood that will also work out well. If you want to trade, I'm online now as you might think, so we can meet now. I do have to go soon though.

Nah I'm at work right now I'm afraid.
I can collect some wood to trade you next time I'm on perhaps. Access to spruce and oak but there's some jungles not too far off that I could raid as well if you want a variety.

Also have a fair amount of diamonds thanks to fortune pick

[JCDNWarrior]

Variety is always good (and diamonds are of course always good currency to have). I don't know what the best way would be for me to store it as our differing timezones can make it tricky to meet on the server. If the teleporters worked I could've come up with something like placing the gold blocks after smelting at your location. (Also I think I mistranslated when I mentioned 5 stacks of gold blocks, with that I meant 5 stacks of 64 gold -ore- blocks, my apologies, though the amount should still be more than enough for your powered rail I believe. =)

I think I have an idea that might work though. Will take a little while.

[Akalabeth Angel]

Well, I don't mind boating it over to your area if you just set up a little transfer hut somewhere.

That would of course limit me to one inventory load per trip but that's fine.

I don't know how to create public chests though.

5 stacks of 64 gold ore is awesome too. (or whatever you chose to part with).
Takes me a couple hours to even find like 20 gold ore or so and each gold ignot only yields one piece of powered track.

[TrashMan]

Speaking of texture packs...which ones do you guys use?

I'm looking at several..like these:

http://www.planetminecraft.com/texture_pack/conquest-32x32/    (nice style, randomized and connected textures)

http://www.planetminecraft.com/texture_pack/sphax-purebdcraft-x64-v065-for-mc17/

[Akalabeth Angel]

I just use the default

I've sent you a PM yesterday in regards to the trade.

Now I'm online again though we can also trade ingame.

For texture packs, Trashman, I use LB Photorealism, which don't seem to be much different from standard while looking a lot more detailed, except when it comes to villagers and mobs as the pictures of the zombies shown. That Conquest pack looks neat though, I might test it out.

[Akalabeth Angel]

Haha thanks. I'll check it out tonight as I need to go into work again.

I think I've also been very inefficient with my rail as well because the wiki says you need like 1 powered rail per 40 or something and I've been using 3 powered rails every 20 blocks hahaha. So if I dig some of those up I should be able to stretch out supplies a little further then maybe with the new supplies I'll be able to have enough. Who knows. Though there's never enough! must build more and more

[Mongoose]

1 powered rail per 40 seems way too thin from what I remember...I think 1 every 12 guarantees that you maintain pretty much the top speed on level ground.  That's what I've used in my singleplayer shenanigans anyway.

So is Runecraft still broken, then?  Is it waiting on the usual Bukkit updates, or is there something else up with it?

[Akalabeth Angel]

Well I don't know if it's out of date but here's a chart on the wiki:

http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Powered_Rail

Says 1 rail every 32 is good enough to maintain top speed on level ground so long as it gets accelerated properly at the start?

[Mongoose]

Oh wait, that's right...it's the torches I have every 12 blocks, not the powered rails.  I do those every 36, since that divides evenly with the torch placement.

[Akalabeth Angel]

Even with version 1.6.4 there's a bunch of stuff available that I didn't know existed. Hoppers, droppers, quartz blocks, etcetera. Will need to update my production area sometime to try and automate some of the process though those hoppers are pretty expensive. I wish they would have just had 3 ingots plus a box not five. One hopper cart is 10 ingots

[Mongoose]

Well if you set up an iron golem farm (or kill a crap-load of zombies), iron is an infinite resource anyways, so it's not too bad.

(Or at least for now, anyway.  Jeb apparently made some changes in the 1.8 nightlies that basically nerfed golem farms, but then reverted them somewhat, so I don't know what the current status is.)

[Phantom Hoover]

painterly textures are best textures

[Akalabeth Angel]

Discovered that hoppers don't work unless the chest is unprotected.

To do so, type /cremove and then punch the chest or furnance.

After bit of googling got the hoppers working though fairly expensive to use them. Still will be pretty cool to have some automation.

[Akalabeth Angel]

Got some automated furnaces up and running (16 in all) Burning through my coal reserves pretty quick but don't use it for anything else anyway. No XP from pulling stone out of the furnaces but, that always was a huge monotonous waste of time.

Pretty neat! You should check out Docm77's turbo furnace array if you want to take it to the next level.
