elmuerte Posted June 25, 2011 I think we should plan the transportation hub/community chest/spawn right from the start. I think it's best to create a simple hub near spawn that provides arrival and departures tracks in 4 directions. And not a track per destination. I've experimented with halfway stations, they don't work well. Timing of redstone wire isn't good enough to create reliable halfway stations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tabacco Posted June 25, 2011 Would people rather re-roll now instead of waiting for 1.7? It means any new terrain generation stuff that comes in 1.7 like ravines won't be in the spawn area or the areas that're already explored. Personally, I'm not a fan of mobs. I'm not trying to roleplay this game or whatever, I jut want to build crazy stuff, and having creepers and stuff all over the place makes that way less pleasant. The third epoch was still my favorite, and I think a bit part of that was that people didn't have to worry about making sure there were fences and torches everywhere. You could actually use lighting for effect instead of having to evenly light everything to keep monsters out. Anyway, whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squid Division Posted June 25, 2011 Mobs are annoying above ground, but I think they make the exploration underground fun. I'd been planning on playing the next roll a little more survival-y, but ultimately I don't really care one way or the other. We might have a month before 1.7 comes out. He's given no timetable yet.

Squid Division Posted June 25, 2011 I think we should probably wait to see what the 'adventure part' of 1.7 is going to involve. It may offer up a bunch of cool stuff and have reasons to keep mobs in, or be irrelevant and not even in SMP. Also it sounds like he's opening up the source code with 1.7, so there may be a few mods we want? I definitely advocate building a big spawn area/community chest/train station. I'd be perfectly willing to build them too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted June 25, 2011 I lighted my island that was too big to begin with and then made my chasm lair thing and then lost interest. Minecraft is a bit stupid about the mobs. I don't think I'm making anything until there's a more sensible way to stop them from spawning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squid Division Posted June 25, 2011 On second thought, we might as go ahead and reroll now since this could be a long lived lame-duck world, and it doesn't sound like there will be much terrain change in the next update. Is there anyway to only make mobs spawn underground? And we'd be able to turn them back on/off after we reroll and decide we do/don't want them right?

tabacco Posted June 25, 2011 What about doing a re-roll now with mobs disabled, then in a month or whenever 1.7 comes out, re-roll again and reconsider mobs then? (There's no way to make them only spawn belowground, sadly, but that would be nice) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tabacco Posted June 25, 2011 Alright... how does an hour from now sound? Let's do it! (Possibly meet on the server for the traditional dynamiting of the world, then re-roll once we're bored of that?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted June 25, 2011 (There's no way to make them only spawn belowground, sadly, but that would be nice) This probably wasn't aimed at me, but I didn't mean anything about above or below the ground. I meant the torches. It's impossible atm to build anything that doesn't have torches stuck to it everywhere. Also, they are a huge pain to make and find correct spots for.

Squid Division Posted June 25, 2011 No that was for me. I like the mobs living underground as it makes the exploration a little more fun, for me. Above ground, they're just a pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 25, 2011 So it seems like with a few exceptions people are mostly bored of the server at this point... is there any interest in a re-roll? Possibly once 1.7 is out with the new underground ravine stuff (http://imgur.com/YNhtV)? There's some great stuff there, it's a shame to see it go, but at least we can download it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrHoatzin Posted June 25, 2011 It would be neat if we could have a gradient of mobness, not just PANSY GOD MODE and YOU ARE DEAD ALREADY AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IT modes. A couple of middle grounds would be neat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
