Bellingcraft!

[plush forge]

But... That's why were getting create?

[dire mirage]

I will refuse to use the fake canals.

Canal purist.

[short lynx]

I mean, nothing stops you from keeping using a shovel and a pickaxe to dig canals

[short lynx]

Alright, it's time. Stopping the vanilla server

[vocal ember]

Been an honor, vanilla server

[short lynx]

If anyone wants a copy, you can DM me

[whole depot]

not to sound annoying but did we need to manualy download all the mods

that souds kida painful

[short lynx]

No, I'm providing with a zip that can be used to import the pack to ATLauncher

[whole depot]

😢 i dont have a robot skin yet

[short lynx]

Hold on, I'm still testing things out, but it seems to be playable by this point

Ok, so I will write a more detailed guide once I get some rest, but for now:

Step 0: Make sure you have the latest version of Java and properly set up for your OS (in most cases you'll be fine, but I've seen some issues with iOS)

Step 1: Download and install a client for mods. I recommend ATLauncher, which I will recommend for these guides: https://atlauncher.com/downloads

Step 2: Set up ATLauncher , and under instances, click import and select the zip (which you have to DM me to obtain it - for new players you also have to DM me as I need to whitelist you to join the server)

Step 3: I highly recommend to go settings (within the instance, and not on the right bar) and in the Java/Minecraft section to pump the max RAM to 8192mb

Step 4: Click play and connect to the server like you used to before

Now at the start there are some issues. Bluemap is very glitchy, but many of those visual bugs will go away once the chunks get loaded ingame and then updated. And then I need to do some tidying with the dimensions

But other than that things should be fine

Just understand that things may be a bit laggier than usual when it comes to terrain generation (also I am being conservative with the amount of memory dedicated to the server now, there is margin to increase it if that's necessary)

Server currently closed, there's some minor configurations I forgot to do

[plush forge]

Take your time mate. How much memory do you have for the server now?

[short lynx]

12GB, I can allocate up to 16GB if needed

[plush forge]

12 is usually fine yes

[short lynx]

Also restarting the server, fingers crossed

[cinder jasper]

Just the usual disclaimer - download and open .zip files at your own risk

[short lynx]

Aight, everyone feel free to join (:

If something breaks, let me know

[whole depot]

@short lynx [06/04/2024 17:24:20 pm] [17:24:20] [Netty Client IO #5/INFO] [ne.mi.cl.ForgeHooksClient/CLIENTHOOKS]: Server has additional mods that may be needed on the client: [email protected], [email protected]

loading in after some basic debuging

[shell mortar]

does anyone know where the nether fortress is?

[plush forge]

There's a couple

One if you follow the tunnel east and go down the stairs there's one about where you exit the tunneo

And one a bit further east where the skeleton farm is

[short lynx]

Hey, I ended removing the zip from here as there were genuine concerns about sharing zips in public. I agree it sets a bad precedent and would encourage people to post zips in public, and probably with worse intentions than mine. So if you want to play and don't have access to the server, DM me and no one else to get the modpack

And of course, for those who want to join anew, you still need to DM me to get whitelisted

[whole depot]

been looking at spots for a space center here are a thew locations i sujest

[short lynx]

I'm building one at the mesa North of your base, but feel free to build another one elsewhere

Especially since the one I'm building is pretty much going to have more stuff, as it's going to be Black Mesa 😛

[plush forge]

come on, it's create!

build one underground and move the ground once you launch :)

[short lynx]

That's exactly what I'm planning to do

Just like the actual rocket platform in HL1

[plush forge]

lol

I was thinking thunderbirds ;)

[short lynx]

Lol

Too bad Ad Astra is a step down from Advanced Rocketry, but that's what we have with being at 1.20.1 😅

[whole depot]

dam one of my old favorite tv show lets do it

[shell mortar]

@short lynx I worked out what those overflow messages are

[short lynx]

Restarting the server, I did some changes earlier today and they seem to have added a bit of instability, so I'm reverting them. Should be online in 5m

[short lynx]

Oh?

[shell mortar]

I left a block between the lava and my deepslate sorter - so I think there was moment where it would dump like 8 stacks of deepslate into the air before it burns

[short lynx]

Ok, server should be running again, if you find any instability let me know. And by that I mean by regular usage, not by doing something like generating new chunks like crazy 😛

[vocal ember]

“Not doing something like generating new chunks like crazy” ffuuccckkkkkkk

(Im joking, still havent got installed the updated mod list lol)

[plush forge]

well, I have this design for a cobble generator that would produce something like a stack every second

does that count as crazy? :)

[vocal ember]

No, why ask? And holy FUCK, a stack a second

Hell yea

[plush forge]

something like that yeah

can be bigger and produce more.

normally you'd have a 12 block push limit with pistons, but create contraptions don't really have that limit

[vocal ember]

Oh boi

[plush forge]

soooo technically... 2300 blocks every movement of the platform

little less

[short lynx]

You're missing out on the potato enchantments

[plush forge]

yeah, but those are for the spud gun right?

we need a train to do drive by spud gun shooting ;)

[vocal ember]

https://www.ddinstagram.com/reel/C5m1pyRukBe/?igsh=MWg0MTA3c2N4c2RsYw==

Got an idea lol @short lynx

[short lynx]

Lol

[plush forge]

K, cobblestone might be a little OP

[plush forge]

so far.

[dire mirage]

Did some minor works as well

If you turn right at the end of the canal and go north

There's a clear path now all the way through the sand circular pond thing, connecting into another river and then all the way up to the northern sea

And the area if you turn left is also now clear.

[plush forge]

Seems to be about everything you can make with just cobblestone and a bit of lava. The netherrack part requires nether warts and potions to be useful.

so yeah, go nuts :)

[whole depot]

okay guys my crazy boat infustructure time and ill need some help with item collection for it specificaly phantom membrains as there the most effienct for making large numbers of tracks that are invisible

its 2 below water level and the closest ill let it be from the sides is 2

[plush forge]

Platform in the skies with a water source will trap phantoms I think

Don't really know other sources for them

[short lynx]

Boats can trap phantoms, but it will be slow

I guess I can try to not sleep on nights and use my jetpack to take them down

[whole depot]

With just 15 membrain I got the purple bit done

[short lynx]

There is a way to craft phantom membranes, but it's not cheap

(well, two by crushing elytras, but that's definitely not worth it lmao)

But yeah, for that you need a nuclear reactor to start with, and I am going to build one but not yet

[plush forge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWfXOqLr2HQ

for an 'easy' option

if you're really patient you could try a cat gift farm but that'll be very slow going

[plush forge]

i'm glad I got my steam engine going with continous lava source. Nuclear now would be a bit daft :)

[short lynx]

Lol, I just convert lava to RF 😅

[plush forge]

where's your base at?

[whole depot]

my base isnt on there

although im setting up a port

[plush forge]

more along the lines of "where should I drop these membranes"

[whole depot]

and thats on the furthest on the right of the map but you can drop at the mob farm

[plush forge]

put them in the barrel for ya

[whole depot]

thx man

[short lynx]

Well, this is taking shape: pumpjack and a small power station that powers the transport of oil through an oleoduct all the way uphill, where the refinery will be

[plush forge]

nice!

and here I am dragging hobbiton kicking and screaming into the steam age :)

[short lynx]

I thought you well making Orthanc

The age of the orc has come

[plush forge]

I still might do that. Seeing as cobble makes blackstone and polished variants.

but need to get started first right ;)

[dire mirage]

I believe there is space launch stuff

Just mentioning it here in case others wish to collaborate.

Couple ideas of where to put it, curious if people wanted to work on it together, couple ideas being.

• (preferred) Offshore rig structure.
• A boat/barge thing, sorta like SpaceX’s booster recovery barge .
• Silos on land with red stone doors that open a hatch.

[plush forge]

i'm a busy hollowing out a mountain first, but I can join in. Anything you need? smoothstone, red concrete?

[short lynx]

Yeah, I'm building a launch plaform up that Mesa, but eventually. Of course that's not incompatible with your plans

And the silos are definitely doable using create

[dire mirage]

Ah, if you’re going to build launch stuff I’m not going to bother with my idea

[short lynx]

In fact the launch platform at the mesa will have a hatch as well

[dire mirage]

That’s cool 👌

[short lynx]

Both can be done, the limit is our imagination

[dire mirage]

Doing it twice is making getting the required materials twice as hard.

It’s fine, I’ll just not do my idea.

[plush forge]

the ad astra stuff isn't too bad tbh

[short lynx]

And getting materials is now easier than ever

We're just building the infrastructure for that now

[short lynx]

Lighted up and with the distillation in process (:

[whole depot]

SICK

[plush forge]

erredece: You here by any chance? I'd like another copy of the zip if available :)

if not i'll have to wait till I get home and copy it over

[short lynx]

Sure, I'll dm it to you

[plush forge]

Grazie

[short lynx]

Prego (:

[plush forge]

well, cobblestone making is handled i'd say.

10K in a few minutes...

[short lynx]

Time to turn it into singularities 👀

[plush forge]

more like andersite, alloy, zinc, gold, iron

time for operation HobbitFactory

[short lynx]

So I just remembered.... it's time

[plush forge]

jebus. 30K cobble in ~5 minutes

[short lynx]

I need to check that out, I'll log in for a sec (feeling kinda lazy to play today tbh)

[plush forge]

4x4x6 item vault full :|

[short lynx]

Lmfao

Let me introduce you to our lord and saviour ME storage

[plush forge]

yeah, it's on the todo pile :)

[short lynx]

Let me know if you need crystals, I have an autofarm

Especially since getting started with the first crystals is quite slow

[plush forge]

sure thing

probably first time doing ME anyway

usually had the other one

AE2

so it'll be a little learning curve anyway with the channels etc.

[short lynx]

Refined Storage?

In any case channels are not a problem for a small network

[vocal ember]

goddamn UwU

10k in mins???

[plush forge]

Yesz refined storage

I know myself. Small things are impossible :)

[vocal ember]

Either way, UwU

[plush forge]

Because when I can I want all things to become autocraftable and machines to autopull

[vocal ember]

dont blame you lol. autocrafting is fun

[plush forge]

Yeah, 48 cobble every 4 ticks or something. It adds up

[vocal ember]

damn

[unique drum]

voltz then we can have a bellingcat nuclear war

[short lynx]

Not available on 1.20.1... but we have cannons

[whole depot]

btw i want to build a train station in the green circle ive made a masive tunnel from my 2 bases on the left of the map to that point

[short lynx]

Yeah, green circle should be a good spot for that

I had in mind building a metro underground but I guess that works too

[plush forge]

The Bellingtube? Sounds good

[vocal ember]

Won’t be shocked if there’s a playlist of “this week/month on Bellingcat Discord” showing all the happenings and stuff

[plush forge]

I don't understand the reference

[vocal ember]

Made it up so no worries

And i was thinking it’s mostly a “here’s what the server talked about for this time period”, or maybe even a “topics discussed due to global events”

[plush forge]

I was thinking of the London Underground being called the Tube

[whole depot]

You tube

[vocal ember]

Did ya boi get pinged here?

[whole depot]

Yeah mb

[short lynx]

[plush forge]

This mod is such fun

[short lynx]

Is that's a harvester?

[plush forge]

jup

[vocal ember]

UwU

hell yea

[short lynx]

I'll hop into the server later today to check it out, I'm having a hectic week and I'm having almost no time for breaks and side projects (if someone is waiting for me to DM them back this is why, feel free to message me again to remind)

[plush forge]

no worries

it's fairly simple to setup

i'm only having some weird things with tags it seems

[short lynx]

Yeah I just want to check out of curiosity :p

[short lynx]

I'm still waiting for you to build potato canons 😉

[vocal ember]

Need the entire .zip file of the mods before ya boi becomes the Lord Of Taters

[plush forge]

hehe

[vocal ember]

I’m not risking Murphy’s Law kicking my ass again lmao

[short lynx]

I'll send it in a bit

[plush forge]

you need the backtank for that as well right?

[vocal ember]

UwU

[short lynx]

I think that the main issue was that you had a very outdated version of java

We sorted that out

So you should be good to go

Worst case scenario I just tell you which mods you need to add and remove (mostly remove) from when we tested things

[vocal ember]

Will get to it over the weekend/late at nights

[short lynx]

Sure

[whole depot]

If anyone’s wondering about the now nonexistent forrest around the station near spawn it annoyed me so I disappeared it might replant when done building we will see

[plush forge]

We've arrived at flint and iron nuggets. Next stop: Andesite and Andesite Alloy :D

I'm sure it can be compressed way more than it is, but i'm not that great at this modpack :)

[short lynx]

It's not about making it compact but making it cool, and that's what matters

[plush forge]

yeah, if I wanted compact i'd use mekanism :)

cause then this would be three blocks and some wiring

right, my head hurts. Can't think straight in logic anymore

[whole depot]

Logic isn’t straight though for the machine it’s 3d

[plush forge]

nah, have two machines that request gravel. So I needed a logic circuit to release gravel if one of the two runs out.

and it took me half an hour to come up with what I needed

which is basically an nand gate

[whole depot]

Lol

[plush forge]

which is stupid simple

[whole depot]

Sucks to be human mate

[plush forge]

yeah, I already made this in creative as well

so I knew it worked and how it worked

[whole depot]

Lol

[plush forge]

huh. That's a weird bug. I've got a freespinning shaft apparently. It doesn't get power yet it runs everything somehow

[plush forge]

Allright, Andesite Alloy is done as well :D

[vocal ember]

Fuckin hell, need to get the .zip downloaded

Gotta get back in and become the Lord Of Taters

[fathom fulcrum]

Understood and deleted. 😛

[vocal ember]

Lmao, do not blame you as well. Us two are now friends 😄

I feel like I should know who that pfp is, but I don’t

[plush forge]

I know erre said "only download from him" but I could send it over as well. Might be an idea to put an md5 hash in the pins as well ;)

[vocal ember]

@short lynx already sent the .zip, just need to get around to actually downloading it

[plush forge]

lol

nevermind then :)

[vocal ember]

Thx for the offer though! 😄

Job applications kinda take importance rn anyway

[plush forge]

yeah

[plush forge]

and we have zinc :D

Princess somthing

If I rember correctly she’s only a character in one of the biggest movie series of all time

General Leia Organa, actually. The planet she was princess of was famously blown up by space nazis with a space laser.

[short lynx]

Needs to be prettier but it is functional now, my metal ore processer

I shall rename it gluestick

I mean… Animal glue made from horse is a thing

[short lynx]

From the hooves however, that grows back

[fathom fulcrum]

O my sweet, summer child...

[raw gale]

Is that what your parents told you when you were too young for the truth?

[vocal ember]

Oh no

[plush forge]

Time to splice lizard dna into horses I guess

[short lynx]

That's how you breed a Mark Zuckerberg (?)

[raw gale]

That actually works as a pun in German.

Zucker is the German word for sugar. And feeding horses sugar cubes is a thing, right?

[short lynx]

I have finally created a singularity out of snowballs

[plush forge]

Daaamn bro

[plush forge]

it looks funky

[vocal ember]

How???

[plush forge]

no fucking clue

something went wrong trying to break bedrock, something needed my attention outside of minecraft and when I went back it looked like this :)

[short lynx]

Are you under lava there? Fluids can xray sometimes

[plush forge]

nope, nether roof

only thing is that everything under the bedrock is solid until you can see through

[short lynx]

That's so odd

Give me the coords and I check

[plush forge]

I'm sure it was just iris glitching out. But cords were in chat

Texture reload fixed it

[short lynx]

I've been digging a bit 😅

If anyone's in need of copper, let me know, I have yes amounts of it

[vocal ember]

Digging a "yes" amount, GODDAMN

May i ask what for?

[short lynx]

I'm building a molten salt nuclear reactor

You know, like you just do

(jokes aside, it's not as hard as it sounds)

The issue is that I need ungodly amounts of osmium, and I barely got anything despite all I dug

[vocal ember]

"like you just do"

Bro you are just built different

[short lynx]

Quantum ring is opperational

Now I need enough power to sustain it

[plush forge]

Lol

Wrong way round erre:)

[short lynx]

I just keep it off while I increase somewhat my power generation

[vocal ember]

Yall dabbling in QUANTUM FUCKING PHYSICS while I’m here like “haha growing potato is funni”

Yall built wild

Or summ I guess. Still built different tho

[short lynx]

Since building the reactor will take a lot of time (mostly need to get that osmium)

[short lynx]

Nah, it's just the name of the device to connect AE2 networks, it's indeed inspired by quantum physics because you need a singularity, but it's more straight forward than you think lol

And growing potato is funni, nobody has to take that from you!

I still need to see your potato cannon

[vocal ember]

MoRe StRaIgHtFoWaRd ThAN yOU ThInK

You’re talking to someone who’s reputation hinges on shitposting over here

[vocal ember]

Yea, fair. Getting off work in 2.5 hours so yay 😄

[vocal ember]

Wait hold on

What do I need to make a canon?

[short lynx]

JEI tells you

[vocal ember]

At work so can’t exactly log in…

[short lynx]

You go in game, press e and on the right you can search for potato cannon, and just select it

I know, I'm telling you for later

[vocal ember]

Ohhhh ok 🙂

[plush forge]

Fun fact: can also shoot other foods, golden carrots do more damage :)

[vocal ember]

Not looking for damage, I’m looking for the “ayo what????” moment after being beamed by a tater

[short lynx]

That's the whole point lol

[short lynx]

New toy (:

[vocal ember]

lol+

[short lynx]

Also, we can make energy with your potatoes

Make biogas with them

[short lynx]

Minecraft auth servers seem down 😅

[plush forge]

Must be Microsoft hosted :)

Azure networking was down mostly

Couldn't get into entra admin either this afternoon

[short lynx]

Not surprised to hear that

[short lynx]

Ok, everything is operational again!

[short lynx]

Anyone wants some hot water for their tea?

Max size boiler built, now the slow process of filling it up, I think it holds like 1M buckets

[short lynx]

@plush forge Did you remove the roof portal?

[plush forge]

Mine yes

Got disconnected

Couldn't fix it

[short lynx]

Weird

I guess because there were too many portals around?

[plush forge]

Yeah I had to move my portal cause it kept linking to the tower

So there's the stairs

[short lynx]

Yup, and JK's tower still goes to the roof too

[plush forge]

A d another hole at the Whisky farm

[short lynx]

(I forgot about that until I was up there)

Whisky farm? 👀

[plush forge]

Whiter skeleton

Which also got broken in The Purge

So I need to put some create things in to kill the mobs :)

[short lynx]

Yeah, that was indeed deleted, I'm sure we agreed that was ok

I'm just building a froglight farm up there, turns out they're really easy to do

[plush forge]

It's fine. Again portals didn't link up properly somehow

Yeah, frog light farms are very easy

[short lynx]

And now we have teleporters, so no need for portals 😉

[plush forge]

Ah yes, that too :)

Snow, magma cubes and you're done :)

[short lynx]

Snow? That's a different model than the one I was looking into 👀

[plush forge]

Powdered snow to make them small and then frogs.below to grab the small ones

https://youtu.be/SUgJ9NsgHCs

I'm sure it's not the quickest, but it's cheap

[short lynx]

I was just going to do this one from Shulkercraft which is very straight forward too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7s4yTXWzoI

[plush forge]

Yeah, most are pretty easy :)

[short lynx]

Had I known they were that easy I'd have made one long ago lol

[plush forge]

Someone made one right?

Around spawn

[short lynx]

It's just a frog collection, so getting the frogs isn't hard (well, brown frogs, I kinda want white and green ones, I'm trying to breed them now (: )

But yeah, that was Lotte and JK's work

[short lynx]

I have disabled the thermal expansion mobs (blizzs, blitzs and basalzs) from spawning as they were very annoying (also messing up my froglight farm 😛 ) and their drops have currently have no utility beyond some very niche items from thermal expansion.

If anyone for whatever reason wants their drops, let me know (I do have a lot of rods from them in my storage anyway), and if you have an idea of something useful to do with them, let me know

(I am currently rebooting the server as a consequence for it)

[plush forge]

Don't think I've used them no

[short lynx]

If the need appears, I will just create some recipes to get their items and call it a day

[short lynx]

Hmm, I wonder why there's a shield in front of that glass 👀

[vocal ember]

Because someone is gonna railgun a villager into the glass? /j

[short lynx]

Sadly that's not possible in our server since we are staying in 1.20.1 for the foreseeable future...

But there's plenty you can do instead

[plush forge]

because it looks nice :)

[vocal ember]

Fair, erredece

[short lynx]

What if I tell you that it moves? 🫣

[plush forge]

Ooeeeeh

Thunderbirds are go? :)

[short lynx]

Not yet

Besides that's a plan for the future, what I'm building now is more like the Black Mesa silo 👀

[vocal ember]

I wanna see if i can railgun a TNT Minecart into orbit lol

hold on, lemme get the snapshot

[short lynx]

You can do that with a TNT cannon

[vocal ember]

I know, wanted to try with rails, which ?didnt seem to work?

But hey, thats how science works

[short lynx]

I'm sure someone will come up with a way

[vocal ember]

100%

Maybe I did it wrong?

I mean, little peek into that 👀

[short lynx]

@vocal ember I require your potatoes

I have acquired the means to produce energy out of vegetables (and make plastic with them too!)

[vocal ember]

Feel free to snag however many you need, all I ask is you replant

[short lynx]

Oh, absolutely

You can also have an autofarm system

[vocal ember]

In that case, grab as much as you want. Both layers should net you a couple thousand

That’s if I didn’t goof up my memory. Still hella potato for you

[vocal ember]

Ehhhhh. Tempting idea, but I find personal enjoyment in manually planting/farming. Personally play Minecraft for the calmness. A house, a farm, and ezpz calm life

[short lynx]

Nothing wrong with that

[vocal ember]

Exactly

[short lynx]

Carrot greenhouse with autofarmer, and the carrots get processed

[vocal ember]

Hence why my house has the cherry trees around it. The particle effects are ?soothing?

[vocal ember]

UwU

[short lynx]

Another angle

I need to decorate this, but yeah, (potentially) infinite power

[vocal ember]

Theoretical infinite

[plush forge]

There's also "some" potatoes at my small farm in the drawer

[short lynx]

It's fine, I can also use sugar canes from the farms at the base, but that's just to give it a temporary boost

[short lynx]

Seems that uploading 3 pics at a time is the most automod will tolerate 😛

But that's the bioengineering bay completed! Carrots get grown and harvested at the greenhouse, to then be turned into biomass and ethylene for energy and plastics production

[vocal ember]

Hype!

[short lynx]

Now I encourage people to geolocate it in bluemap (it has not updated this area yet) 😏 http://78.47.185.37:8123/

[vocal ember]

Alright lol

/j of course

[short lynx]

@plush forge Is your iron farm functional?

[plush forge]

it was last time

otherwise there should be a full chest of ingots in the factory hall

[short lynx]

No urgency, besides I have my digital miner available, just wanted to use an existing, less energy intensive option 😄

[plush forge]

i'm quite certain the create factory would be the quicker way to get iron tbh :)

instead of the iron farm vanilla version

[short lynx]

Depends on the scale I guess

Now I'm working on a glowstone factory

[plush forge]

my kid is also going completely overboard for everything he automates

we play with three people on a server, we don't need 12K iron per hour

[short lynx]

Family goals

[plush forge]

so there's 5K ingots in a vault which is suboptimal

and there's three shulkers of ingots

i'll give the farm a test run

[short lynx]

Aight, let me know of it, I'm afk for a bit

[plush forge]

jup still works

[short lynx]

Hmm

[vocal ember]

Suboptimal????

suboptimal????????

[plush forge]

Yes, annoying yo get them out

[vocal ember]

Oh nvm

[plush forge]

Need to get a stomper to make blocks as well

[vocal ember]

Thought you meant “5k isn’t enough” like bro

[plush forge]

Oh, it's never enough

[vocal ember]

I FUCKING KNEW IT

https://tenor.com/view/chaos-gif-22919457

[plush forge]

But that's why you make farms somit gets remade pronto

I do think I have enough redstone now though :)

[vocal ember]

And tf do you need 5k for?

An iron singularity?

[plush forge]

Make steel

[vocal ember]

Have fun with that

[plush forge]

There's quite a lot of things in Create that use iron tbh

[vocal ember]

…….ill just stick to the tater farm

[plush forge]

Hehe

[vocal ember]

Yall lunatics have fun with the industrial fucking revolution or whatever, and I’ll be cooking taters

[plush forge]

Everyone had their play style. I can't keep up with my kid either

But I like making small farms to automate certain things

[vocal ember]

There’s a certain calmness over manually planting the crops

[plush forge]

Oh yeah, for sure

[vocal ember]

insert “it’s honest work” img here

[short lynx]

What if we built you some kind of tractor? 😉

[plush forge]

Hmmmm

Nice little combine?

Rails underground, small shed to stand in

[vocal ember]

Idk if it’ll fit in the current farm, unless you are thinking of re-doing the current layout

Currently not against it, just need to know the logistics

[short lynx]

Just add a new bigger farm

Build potato fields around (:

[vocal ember]

iirc i have plenty of dirt lying around lol

so might as well

[plush forge]

Nah, it's big enough honestly

Small harvester 10 wide doing two or three stripes would work

[vocal ember]

Main worry then is making sure the top layer can be accessed, or otherwise moved down a level

[vocal ember]

Sweet 😄

[plush forge]

Top one would be a thing yes

[vocal ember]

Currently have no issues moving the top level down so that it can be accessed

[vocal ember]

Goddamn I forgot how much soil I placed in the second floor of the tater farm

1x stone and 1x iron shovels gone, and damn near through the second iron shovel

[short lynx]

Just make enchanted diamond tools 😅

[vocal ember]

Got hella iron blocks so ehhhh

[vocal ember]

Almost done with reorganizing the farm

Just need torches and to plant

[vocal ember]

srry for hella late update

top left corner: 279,444
bottom left: 248,480
top right: 298,444
bottom right298,480

[short lynx]

You made yourself quite the mob farm below it tho 😅

[vocal ember]

lol gotta deal with it

[vocal ember]

Mostly just happy that there’s now a functional single floor farm

[vocal ember]

Ok took care of that impromptu mob farm

[plush forge]

aaarg.. train tracks are annoying

[vocal ember]

@short lynx you got a stack or two of glowstone ya boi can snag?

I wanna redo the lighting on the farm

[short lynx]

Sure thing

Now that we have a renewable glowstone farm... 😄

[vocal ember]

Hell yea

Knowing my luck, I might actually need 3, sorry

[short lynx]

That's not luck, that's doing the maths lmfao

[vocal ember]

Fair lol

[short lynx]

And feel free to take as you need

[vocal ember]

Hype

[short lynx]

I'll produce more when you guys are offline, so it doesn't lag the server

[vocal ember]

Makes sense

[short lynx]

And in a pinch I can always use my existing gold and netherrack reserves to produce more, so

[plush forge]

well, not bad for 16 blocks of taters.

[short lynx]

Lol

Turn that into ethylene = infinite energy

[vocal ember]

.......why yall be be mining on Bedrock level....?

been looking at Bluemap and see that one of yall made some work lol

[plush forge]

that's where the diamonds and redstone is :)

plus it has that vibe of dark caverns and hidden things

[short lynx]

Ores spawn at different levels

Or you mean the empty chunk?

[plush forge]

is still very helpful

[short lynx]

And for the modded ores, I just used the default values for each, so you can check it for its corresponding mod. Just that mods that add equivalent ores (eg: tin by thermal and mekansim) I disabled one of them (in this case, mekanism)

And well, new ores only appear on the areas that were regenerated (pretty much everything from approx 1k blocks from spawn)

[vocal ember]

so thats why

[shell mortar]

deepslate was 1.18?!?

[plush forge]

Yes, that was when the world got expanded

[shell mortar]

zaaaaamn, thats crazy how recently that feels

[plush forge]

we're getting ooooold

[shell mortar]

lmaoo

[vocal ember]

Time is a weird thing

[plush forge]

Yeah, like the 90's being ten years ago! Forever...

[vocal ember]

Born in 2001 so cant remember anything in the 1990s lol

[vocal ember]

Even then, cant really remember the chiildhood all that well :/

[whole depot]

im geting on again

[short lynx]

Awesome, I'm really busy so I haven't played lately but I'll drop by when I have time for a break

[plush forge]

Been playing with my kid lately, als create based

[whole depot]

im on rn

[whole depot]

it begins i plan on adding glass pane windows though out and theres a full floor level yet to do witch will be dificult to say the least but im going to get it done within the week

in othere news thorts on redoing the already done seceond floor

im undesided if i should just redo do that all

oh and i also need permsion to go right up to the canal i want to put a ship harbour there

[short lynx]

Yeah sure

Just don't leak your Steam friend list in the process 😛

[whole depot]

lol

[vocal ember]

Thinking about expanding the tater farm again. How many stacks of dirt do we got in storage?

Hope we got plenty

Ok so

Nah. Screw it imma terraform

Was boutta ask “do we got 5400 dirt blocks chillin somewhere?” but decided nah

[short lynx]

Haven't checked in a bit, but unless someone took from it, we should have a few thousands

[vocal ember]

Gonna "nvm" that, might as well terraform iinstead

[plush forge]

Could probably make dirt. Should have a couple shulkers as well

[short lynx]

A long lasting source of lag appears to be fixed!

I found out that in a config file, a variable had one extra 0 lol

If lag returns, let me know

[plush forge]

oddly specific

kid managed to do that with a storage mod I think

set the range for a controller to be a liiitle too large

so it tried to get info on every chest in a 160 chunk radius or something

[short lynx]

I made a V20 @vocal ember

[vocal ember]

Oh hell yea!

[plush forge]

Hahaha nice!

[short lynx]

It's a V24 now 😏

[vocal ember]

The differences between players in this Minecraft server lmfao

[vocal ember]

There’s me, happy with a tater farm, and then there’s @short lynx building a fucking engine for reasons I guess

[short lynx]

Because I have excess diesel, so I made my existing engine 2.4 times bigger than what it was

I also scripted real quick an automated way to use the gassoline engine I have next to it too

[vocal ember]

Lmao

[short lynx]

And I mean, that's what the server is for, every person has their options, some people like chilling and others building stuff, both are valid 😄

As long as you don't blow things up to others (although I may end building an anarchy-ish section of the server where blowing shit up is allowed 😈)

[vocal ember]

And ffs get some taters, I easily have close to 10,000 already in the chests alone

[short lynx]

Lol, I could turn those taters into energy

Unless you're hoarding them for some reason

[vocal ember]

I am not, and plz snag as much as you want

[short lynx]

Building a tesseract to teleport the taters brb

Also I was afk when you logged in

[plush forge]

Please just get some drawers mate :)

[short lynx]

Yeah, and perhaps if you wish make some electric ovens so you don't have to use coal/lava for them and they can keep running, with a solar panel it should be enough

Also I'm only counting 4k, half of them baked and half not

Ah nvm

They're inside the house lolol

[vocal ember]

Yea, first look inside lol

[short lynx]

Well, they're all promptly being turned into biomass (:

[vocal ember]

UwU

A reason to make M O R E T A T E R S

…I’m a fucking SCP

As long as I make taters, I’m chillin

[short lynx]

That's great (:

[plush forge]

still want to make a combine harvester for you

[vocal ember]

At this point, sure I guess

@short lynx now it’s just you, me, the beach, and me wondering why you’re so afk rn

[short lynx]

I was having dinner and now I'm messing around with my 3D printer, I'll be there in a bit

[short lynx]

Lol

[vocal ember]

Need around 11k cooked taters? Because that’s how many is being prepped to cook lol @short lynx

[vocal ember]

3x double chests with taters, and 4x hoppers with taters

[plush forge]

If you want 10K more, check my drawer ;)

[vocal ember]

Lmao

[short lynx]

No urgency (:

[vocal ember]

If anyone wants to get taters of my farm, just replant the taters plz :3

After that, have fun

[vocal ember]

Wassup with that chunk loader at the tater farm? @short lynx

Never seen that before :/

[short lynx]

I placed it so it cooks all the taters while no one is online lmao

It's the one I usually have at my base

[vocal ember]

Ok fair lol

[vocal ember]

“The children yearn for the farms” ass contraption lmao

[vocal ember]

@short lynx whenever you’re done with dinner: snagged some osmium, though I’m gonna peek this cave system for a bit (later today) before handing over the minerals

[short lynx]

Gotcha, omw

[vocal ember]

ok lemme get in real quick

[vocal ember]

Also saw this near that cave system mentioned earlier, Erred

[short lynx]

Interesting, you still got the coords?

Where does this road lead to?

[vocal ember]

To DaKinks place 😄

[short lynx]

It was a rhetorical question

[vocal ember]

And I elected to make it un-rhetorical

[vocal ember]

I may be cringe, but I am free and happy

[short lynx]

Intersting, I have no data for this, weird

Ah, I see who did it now

But so weird that there's data missing

[vocal ember]

Who the hell did it lmao

[short lynx]

@light lagoon did, about 200 days ago lol

[vocal ember]

Well damn lmao

All the way to bedrock is fucking DEDICATION

[light lagoon]

Uhhh nope, that wasn't me

[short lynx]

Ok...maybe @whole depot ?

[vocal ember]

What’s the Minecraft username?

[whole depot]

What

[short lynx]

I thought it was Dan because the stuff within the nether is to his name

[short lynx]

Did you dig that shaft? 😄

[vocal ember]

Shaft

Haha

[short lynx]

Apparently the log data for that is missing

[whole depot]

To where

[short lynx]

Down

[vocal ember]

From surface to bedrock

[whole depot]

Nah

[short lynx]

In an island

Not too far from the copper farm you built

Hmmm

[vocal ember]

Now that I mined the osmium, gonna tater even harder next time ya boi logs on

[short lynx]

This is so weird

I'm done for the day lol, it's 3am here haha

[vocal ember]

Plz sleep lmao

[whole depot]

I mean under the wizard tower and also the train stations and stuff is all I rember digging properly

[short lynx]

This was after we switched to modded btw

[whole depot]

No I wouldn’t dig next to my copper farm

Beacase entity

[short lynx]

"next" is still like 500 blocks away lol

[vocal ember]

lol

[short lynx]

Coordinates here

[whole depot]

To much effort to dig that much I dig strip mines or mines only for what I need at that moment

[vocal ember]

Unless you secretly are making a villain base at the world border

lol

[whole depot]

https://tenor.com/view/evil-smile-patrick-star-evil-plan-gif-16184292

[vocal ember]

0,0

[plush forge]

That was me doing some create mining

Didn't want to go digging below other people's stuff so I took out a couple vertical bits far out

[short lynx]

That explains the lack of logging, hmmm

[plush forge]

it's also... a long time ago

[vocal ember]

Still love how there’s just a massive hole just there lmao

[plush forge]

it's not that bad

it was only 4 half chunks or so :)

[vocal ember]

Even there, love hit it’s just there, chillin

[plush forge]

Welp, diamond value took a nosedive just now :)

[short lynx]

I need to peek into that now

[plush forge]

charcoal > coal > coal block + lava > diamonds

started a bit of ae2 yesterday

so circuits and diamonds

so bigger treefarm in the future I guess

or fix the whisky farm

[short lynx]

I'm making my own 👀 you can make fully renewable (ignoring water and electricity) wood logs with a phytogenic insulator

There's another coal to diamond recipe which is cheaper coalwise, but you need antimater lol

[vocal ember]

And here I am

With taters

😄

[short lynx]

Taters fuel my energy system, so don't underestimate their value

[plush forge]

Haven't got the metals for phytogenic yet. And Create is just so satisfying to watch. And with cherry saplings it's just mental what you produce in a radius 5 circle

But first: power...

Are you producing all your power with alternators erredece?

[short lynx]

No, I have a handful of alternators but most of my power is from ethylene

When I say my power generation comes from taters (and carrots) is not a joke

And then I have some solar

And I have a machine to generate from oil

So I'm quite diversified now, and that without even counting the nuclear reactor, I'm actually posponing it since I have plenty of energy

[vocal ember]

Never said it was useless! I have my own role in this, and I’m chill with it :3

[short lynx]

Fully renewable (excluding energy and water) diamond generation system

I suck lava from the tree, and then the phytogenic makes the logs from saplings

The saplings that also the phytogenic creates go back to the phyto to make more logs

And the excess goes to the composter, as well as any apples that can be created

Which I turn into compost which increases the output of the phytogenic

And then the logs go through the create process into diamonds

Under the barrel there's a chute that drops to a belt that leads into my storage

The only issue it has is that the phyto is slow af without any upgrades, but it's fully automated

[plush forge]

Nice

[plush forge]

that gas burning generator with ethylene is a bit overpowered innit

80kFE?

[vocal ember]

Yay lol

[short lynx]

Turn the digital miner on and all the generators start working lol

[plush forge]

Hehehe. Do we have a mining dimension? :)

[short lynx]

No, unless it is included with RFTools, I'm not 100% sure on that

But my idea was to use the ad astra worlds as such

[vocal ember]

Reminds me EVEN MORE

m o r e t a t e r s

the production must never stop

lmao

[short lynx]

You need to terraform a planet with taters

[plush forge]

Oh god

Well, the moon is round I believe

[short lynx]

Water evaporates at the moon's surface tho, you'd need to build greenhouses with an oxygen atmosphere

[vocal ember]

Anyone got a beehive (or several) I could use for my tater farm?

Apparently when a bee flies overhead the crops grow faster

[short lynx]

@plush forge is the one with the honey stock

He knows bee mechanics far better than I do

[vocal ember]

I’ll trust that lads judgment on where to place em

[plush forge]

Yeah, bees help pollinate and thus crops grow faster

But enclosed area is definitely a requirement

I don't have my breeding setup but there might be a couple hives in my storage honey chest

Place bees on one end and some flowers on the other end of the field.

They shouldn't go beyond 22 blocks from the hive though

[vocal ember]

Now the chest is full with cooked taters 🙂

[short lynx]

I haven't logged in for a few days, so that's why there's a tater backlog 😉

Easy fix tho

[plush forge]

right. Storage cleaned up

now to make and run oodles of cable and storage busses

[short lynx]

Remember you can hide cables with façaces!

[vocal ember]

Theres a certain thrill of letting thr cables show though

[plush forge]

Yeah, nice mixture of Shire and Cyberpunk :)

[short lynx]

Just a reminder, and it only applies to ae2 wires (:

[plush forge]

Appreciated

[plush forge]

merry christmas from Minecraft :)

[vocal ember]

Saw the coords. I’m gonna take a look at it myself lmao

[plush forge]

Different world :)

Skyblock with my kid

But all chests in Minecraft are presents the next few days

[vocal ember]

Dang lol

[echo lance]

Username "davidmiliband"; can I be whitelisted please?

[short lynx]

Just a heads up, the server is only modded and I need to provide you with the mod pack, but happy to bring you in!

[echo lance]

Ah - where could I find it?

[short lynx]

I will message you later

[vocal ember]

https://youtube.com/shorts/D2G-dBHTaTo?si=nEH6tMtbWZMjIkFA

[plush forge]

Ah yes

That was fun

It can dupe a lot of things. Sand, concrete powder, dragon eggs

[short lynx]

Alright fellas, so I have been myself quite busy for the last several months and I don't expect that to change soon, so I think it's time to pull the plug for the server, which I also think it's fine by this point as people were no longer playing either.

I'll be happy to resurrect the server one day if there's will and I have the time too. I can also provide the map data if anyone requires it.

So long and thanks for the fish

[shell mortar]

Thank you for running it for such a long time! Was very cool and very fun.

[vocal ember]

It has been a fun ride, thank you

Plenty fun memories of making a tater farm and basically having INFINITE FOOD lol
