I love this game. I wanna help.

I tried to mess around with this lava field east of Patters' castle, and the lava kept disappearing as I put it down, and doing weird non-water-like things; putting it in and around smooth stone didn't seem to matter.

But this is just the server setting, correct?

Still, all you need is four buckets of lava, and you can make a little temporary lava pool from which to draw infinite lava for whatever application.

Rodi is being sentimental and Jake is being a dick and everyone has a nonverbal comment, TimRon be damned.

Hey, how about something original. :(

Happy birthday Mr. HisBattleship!

Hm, I wonder if lava does the same thing as water, with leveling off with two adjacent lava blocks.

Oh. That's way east of your castle. It is east of everything.

East of your castle is my stuff. No toblix in sight.

Oh, sorry, I updated the thing as you quoted it there.

Assuming the situation is more like this, actually: +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |w|w|w|w|w|w|w|w|w|w| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |x|x|x|x|x|[u][b]x[/b][/u]|x|x|x|x| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |y|y|y|y|[u][b]y[/b][/u]|w|[u][b]y[/b][/u]|y|y|y| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | | | | | | | | | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ First you kill the Xs, then you can do the Ys as well, starting with the underlined ones and going out. As for how to control running water, it is a bit easier. It will go horizontally for about five or so blocks, then you have to drop it a level. I'll play with it a little later, if you don't mind.

Wow, man, I dunno if I see this coming up any time soon. Especially considering the game is nowhere near done yet, let alone functional.

I've done it twice. I know your mad water-building skillz are impressive and all, but it would be neat if the waterflow around the papyrus sent all the chopped bits in one direction, so that you can cut it all down in one run, and then just go to the end of the line and wait for all the reed bits to flow to you—or maybe have them fall through a hole and wait for you in a pool in the shop below. Then one person can be chopping down reeds, and another can make them into books in the shop.

It is a fishing pole, for some reason, not a spire, per se. Also, I doubt it will burn.

We should throw these into communally editable goog maps thing, so that we can put in landmarks and whatnot, maybe. Feasible?

Yeah, go ahead. I tried to keep it medieval-looking. It ended up being a bit off, I guess.

I haven't actually gone to check out your cave, dude, but this post—this quoted post right there—might give the best summary for why this game is the best video game in a very, very long time (if not in forever). :tup:

You don't seem to have any transparency there and everything was on the background layer. Try the attached file.

Hey, those menhir fields in the distance, is that some sort of discrepancy between server's draw distance and whatever we set in our settings? I noticed them yesterday for the first time.

"We are steadfast in our noncommittal to answering this question."

Good riddance.

Wha, who destroyed it?

How do we govern when we reset the server? I would imagine some of the changes Notch will make will have to go along with a server reset and a new map. If he ever changes how water behaves, for example, or manages to implement biomes or changing seasons. Those may require some sort of new world-generation algorithm or something that to use we would have to start over. Do we just leave it to ysbreker's whim, or do we attempt to establish some parliamentary procedures as to how to decide these things?

I have yet to actually make something of my own. So far I've only helped with the poo hole, got the dirt staircase going, took pictures of erwin's burning house, and fixed some of Thompson's typography (which I think we should continue into the hills, finish the whole THUMBS bit too).
