News of the week(-ish)!
(or maybe 1.5-2 weeks. I don't know.
wibbly wobbly timey timey stuff)
Did you remember to yell at the clouds and those damn kids?! It is the best thing.
This was relatively simple since I have done enough storage tech this season that I had the litematica schematics for a lot of this already. It does need to be extended northward soon, so that we can link up more farms. Also, I do want to add a system that takes in shulkers of compostable items and then outputs bone blocks into the sorters. I do not have a design already for shulker unloaders, so will need to look that up. But prioritizing the transit hub first.
I have done a good deal of digging already, so am hoping to have the coords ready for where it needs to connect to comm. storage soon. More of the design ideas for the transit hub are coming to me, and the ideas in my head makes me excited for this build
Sad to see you leave the Vandelay Condo building but hope you enjoy your new place!
Logged on yesterday in a brief period of freedom and it was fun roaming around the city again. Tildetown is shaping up nicely along with the surrounding region. I'll definitely keep my eyes on the rail project, would love to contribute to the new hub under the community storage.
I have finished the bulk of the digging for the hub so am now in the process of designing it. Here is an image of some rough ideas I am working with as inspiration. The idea I am working with is there will be a balcony, which is where people buy tickets, and then catwalks down the length of the hub, with stairs down to each platform. I am right now working on the rough room design (walls and ceiling), so have no specific plan for the ticket area or the catwalks yet. Also, I am considering doing benches or booths underneath the balcony. Overall, one of the goals is to maintain an ornate styling, similar to comm storage, although open to different block palette. If there is any part of this that interests you, let me know
Edit: I have since gone in and marked out my ideas in game a bit more to help you get a feel for the project. Also, another area that might be a bit tricky is to design lights into the structure. If you are good at building lighting designs, that would also be a fantastic way to contribute
Edit 2, electric boogaloo: after playing around with it some more, I am thinking a stone and wood block palette might work well. Have most of the structure be a stone like block (grey-ish) with the catwalks being a wood might look really nice
Ooh yeah, that'd be fun to build out. I don't log in too often but I will try to get on more often to try and help out. I can kind of imagine what you're envisioning, will log onto the server later today to see the markers.
Once you log on, it should be a bit more obvious, as I have used scaffolding to do a rough draft of the layout. At the moment, everything is just rough drafts, so if you see a part I have started on but you have a better idea, feel free to redo it. At the moment, all of the work is just to help myself get a rough feel for the place, and not the final designs, so I would not be upset if you redid anything.
Checked it out and I love it already. I laid some track down for the high-speed express, not 100% sure if you wanted the tracks to be one block below platform level (on the actual Blackstone) so I only built a small section and powered them. I love how grand the long platforms feel though I do wonder if there's any decorations we could put at the extreme ends.
I did want it to be lower. I thought having raised platforms would look nice.
I am quite pleased on the grand feeling it is already starting to portray, with so little already made. The long platforms were more so decided since the tuff walls are at the same coordinates of the foundation of comm storage above. So I thought extending the tuff down as the walls would be a fun easter egg in the design.
Yes, more decorations and details are very much needed. I did see your suggestion of adding maps showing rail coverage, and think that is a great idea. I tend to build iteratively, so nothing is planned out in detail, and I just figure things out as I build and rebuild it.
Love this. "Heavy" blocks or buildings sitting on top of dirt (as opposed to solid stone) is my weird Minecraft pet peeve.
They definitely do! I saw you getting started with the actual platform decoration with the upside down stairs and they looked lovely. I'll log back on later today and try to at least lay track for the section of the express that dips underground and goes into the new transit hub.
It brings a lot of unity between the builds that I love. It reminds me a lot of the super connected train stations in Asia that basically have the station within a huge mall. I can imagine once the various decorations and stalls are in place, it'll have a similar feel.
You're a better builder than I am for that haha, I usually just work around things I don't like and eventually learn to love it like the height changes in my small rail line lolol
This was part of my brainstorming. Unsure if it will look nice once fully done, but thought I would do a couple block sample so that I remember that idea.
Connecting the rail line would be quite nice.
Part of that is that I am willing to tear everything down and move it over a block. If something is bugging me, I do not hesitate to tear it down and move it over a block, rather than learn to live with it. I also tend to build test swatches. So currently the ceiling design is not finalized, but I built that section for me to get a feel for how it needs to be improved. I may build out another section of the ceiling different, to see what I prefer. It is not the most efficient building strategy, but doing it this way helps me get builds that I am proud of
Meanwhile I accidentally made my 1st commie block's top floor 1 block too tall but was too bored to cut it down so now all my commie blocks have their top floor being 1 block too tall instead
The obstacle in the way becomes the way.
Definitely smart of you to build like that, always in awe of your builds haha.
I've connected the high-speed express line to the new CommSto station! I closely followed your scaffolding, extending the copper elevated line and then brought it down. I added some unpowered rail right before the ramp down into the underground hall as I found that when coming in from TildeTown at high speed, the cart would simply fly off the tracks.
I also temporarily named the line the TildeRail™ High Speed line. Please feel free to change it back, was just having a brief moment of fun :)
Also saw @secret_online I believe? reserve another line to connect to the spruce forests in the east. I was actually thinking about adding a line eastward as well. I think the platforms you've selected work well since you can simply bypass the TildeTown station, with potentially a stop in the lower spawn town area if needed/wanted. Would certainly love to help!
Yep, that was me! This would be yet another longer project for me, so if there's other uses for that space then don't worry about my reservation.
It might also be worth letting @hamstergeddon know, since they've already run a rail line in this direction. Whether it uses the same line or whether we run a new one closer to the surface to a smaller hub that connects to their line, I don't know yet.
I have a chest of shulkers of plain stone to spare if you need them.
Unsure if I will use stone itself, or other stone type blocks (andesite, cobblestone, tuff, deepslate, or other grey coloured blocks). I appreciate the offer though. I did do a bunch of excavating for this build, so I should have enough stone if needed
This has been a slow burn project of mine. Ever since we settled in the area I wanted to restore the ruined portal that was naturally spawned and decorate the space around it. Our base itself doesn't have a nether portal (well, we have the roof portal I guess), we decided that we would use that one instead. It encouraged us to make the path down from our hilltop to the portal, which then informed the terrain Eth designed. It also gave us the starting point for Eth's roads that connect the spruce forest to the other areas of the server.
I want to build a custom tree in the centre of the clearing, and add some more market stalls, then do some armour stand work to liven the place up. I want it to feel like a window into some past timeline where the portal was the centre of some celebration before it was abandoned and left to ruin. I haven't figured out the story of it yet, and whether I want to hint at whatever went wrong (if something went wrong). As I said, it's a slow burn project.
Correction: The roof of my town house is done. Interior construction and decoration are ongoing. I'll throw a housewarming party (with cake!) when I'm all done. I'll move out of the nearby apartment at that time.
No rush to come see - all I've done is hollowed out a bunch of things, so it's all still potential - but I appreciate the thought. I have to punch a lot of holes in the surface before it'll even start to resemble anything.
We should be updated to 26.1 in a week or two. Get hyped!
Please ensure web-chat and litematica (at a minimum) have been updated to 26.1 before updating the server?
If you want I can reach out to the mods for web-chat to make sure they update it
I'll file a restraining order. Also, you can be sure that tea has been bugging me about it already when he suggest updating the server.
Feel free to just mute him if he becomes a bother
I am! I didn't expect we'd be upgrading to it this season. I've been looking forward to craftable name tags and direct use of deepslate, in addition to a tidal wave of baby animals.
So beside the Industrial Storage area, I added an easy way to compost shulkers full of materials. Simply just place the shulkers in the barrel, and it will unload the shulkers, compost the materials, craft bone blocks, and then feed those bone blocks back into storage to be shulker loaded.
@teaearlgreycold I was talking with @TaylorSwiftsPickles about the stuttering issues in the water streams at community storage. TSP pondered if the speed is getting reset, which caused similar issues for @secret_online and @ethinolicbob's player launcher. So I am wondering if there is a maxentityspeed option exists in any of the plugins we are running server side?
I already tried removing limitations on that for the player launcher and I don’t think that was ever reverted.
You can see our setup here.
I read all the applicable config files that I could think of, and there does not seem to be anything causing issues. I am wondering if it is just a bug in paper
Well we’ll be on a new version soon
@teaearlgraycold Has something changed on the server? I tried to log in but got an error saying the server was on Paper 1.21.11. I never had to have paper installed before. Is there something I'm missing?
You don't need Paper installed. That message means you're not running 1.21.11 (or there's some weird other issue). I can still log in, a few other people are online. Did your client update to 26.1?
I've tried 26.1.2 as well as 26.1.1
Trying to log on I get an error that says
Outdated server! I'm still on 1.21.11
No you need to run 1.21.11. Don't update to 26.1.
Ahh. Ok. The change in numbering really confused me.
