A nice test room lined with smooth sandstone to see the redstone better would be ideal, lining the roof with glass so you can see the ocean above would be a nice touch. Are you making one big room with the three quarries or 3 individual linked rooms?

yeah one big room, sandstone and glass roof is what i was thinking.

was thinking of what we could use for lighting.


All sides of the tower are up at the 186 level, chests are refilled with sandstone so I'll probably complete the walls up to the 220 level this evening, have you got plans in place for the roof, external decoration and internal structure?

Got some rough plans for external structure and roof, but nothing solid will try and draw them tomorrow.

For internals im not 100% sure, you think it's best we have say the collection/afk point raised in the tower so we get as much of that 128 sphere inside as possible. then use IC cables/teslas to kill and pipes to bring the items up to the center.

maybe insted of the typical lots of squares with water troguhs and holes, we make the floors with similar squares but with water flows all leading to the center (so mobs dont get taken out fo that sphere as they fall). so each floor would look like a gently stepped bowl weith water flows in places, so they all spawn wonder to water get drawn to center where tesla coild/HV cables zap them then water pushes their items to transposers for collection.

could even put ice under the water flows to increase item travel speed.

also around the edge there were a few spawners (cave spider) reckon we should bring them i nwith rp frames? should


For the island I was thinking we should at least have automated farms for wood, melons, pumpkins, etc

yeah definitely need farms, but need some ncie buildings to put them in and make them presentable rather than the ugly ones we normally end up with :p.

one thing i did think would be cool though is a large building of various sandstones that is a combination of the old Parthenon (so lots of pillars) , old ancient ejyption temples (so like pilalrs outside holdign a roof u pwith walls behind them maikign the inner building if you get what i mean.

but kinda in the shape of the Us capitol building (and out little hut) with a big glass topped dome in the middle.

then under that dome a great big fountain/statue over a circular pool, we'd have all the farms under ground then thier items would all be pumped up and spat out of transposes hidden in the statues, each statue relivant to the block type, so they rain down into the pool(like when we detached the pipes from the cobble gen and it spat blocks out), where transposes under the water suck them all up and send them to storage in one wing where we have stores/crafting tables and furnaces.

Pointless but nice and showy as if the items are gifts from ancient gods :p


Could have statues along the pillars on the inside and bring back that old lava behind half slabs in the walls lighting :D
 
Question about Minecraft and using it in education; is there a setup that's suitable and beneficial to primary age children? Something that they will have fun playing with and building things, but also something that might help them learning about science etc.

I've not really played it much at all myself, so not really sure what I'm after.

Greetings slave :D

I've added all the same residence flags for you as Tefal and I have, I've also added you to the permissions for the coke, blast and blulectric furnaces. Checked all the chests and you seem to be ok for all of those.
 
What sort of laptop do you think would run MC with all the crazy machines we usually end up with?

Spending too much time at by girlfriends on weekends and her PC sucks too much to play MC, so trying to decide if but a laptop or but new PC and give her my current one :p

Do you just use vanilla textures? Shouldn't need an overly expensive one if that's a case, but you may want to drop down to diamond chests to save yourself a bit of FPS!

Forget a laptop, poor value. Give her your desktop and build yourself a new machine.
 
aye thats what i wqs thinking, but then that means icant sell said desktop,...but i wouldnt have to buy laptop.

crap value for money is why ive never owned a laptop.




her internet sucks though (dongle) so id stil lend up using my phone on tethering :p
 
A mid priced hd3000/hd4000 equiped laptop is more than enough for mc with vanilla textures. I have a lenovo i5 hd3000 lappy that cost about £400 and it runs the game perfectly :) (as long as I dont go near your crystal fest :D ).
