I'm so sorry Laira. These things are never easy.

FC, I love seeing references to Ultima Online. I read a review of it in Wired just after it was released and called my wife, who was out and about and said "Please bring me home a copy." She did. My oldest was three when I started playing. He pretty much taught himself to read, but one of ...

I abandoned my first BTW world because after hours of searching and exploring in all directions I was unable to find any wolves. My second (and still current) BTW world it took me a while but I was able to find some wolves.

Is this not the job of the repeater? It is not really a "source" but it is unidirectional and you could hide your redstone source 15 blocks away outside the design you're making.

You cannot hook a water wheel directly to a mill stone. The millstone must be powered from the top or the bottom and a water wheel only provides horizontal power. You will need at least one gear box too.

Glad you had a good time away. The Redwoods are one of my favourite places on earth and one of my best days ever occurred there. I was on a motorcycle ride with a bunch of friends and I got sick in NoCal, spent 17 hours in a hotel room puking my guts out. The next day I needed to catch up to them we...

Back on topic....


I do the vast majority of the cooking in our home. It's something I thoroughly enjoy.

I would like to make a suggestion that you consider melting ice becoming a water source even with HCB turned on. I don't believe it should do so in the Nether, but in the overworld I actually think this might sort-of make sense given that even today, people move blocks of ice for cooling and water s...

Private email saying "Thank you very much!" is the best way to go.

Nicely done. I've been worried about putting my saves on Dropbox because I didn't want to face file corruption due to network connection problems. I'm guessing I shouldn't worry about that.

How are you defining "no power" I don't see anything attached to that gearbox that would use any power.

I need that damn +1 button!

Welcome Mike!

I love cooking curry. This looks amazing. Well done.

Someone needs to start keeping chatlogs of EVERYTHING.

I think the NSA has you covered there!

I grew up in Montreal man. Portland ain't got nothing on that town :)

Have fun!

BTW: I'm planning on going out tonight, getting loaded, and conversing with women of questionable moral character. If there are any problems with the new release, best to report them ASAP ;) If you want to do that you really need to come to Portland! I believe we have more strip clubs per-capita th...

The "simple" solution would be for any BTW block that can perform "work" keeps the chunk loaded. Welcome to BTW: the most performance killing mod on the planet. Well I suppose that could be refined to any BTW block that is performing "work" at the time the chunk goes t...

There is one "simple" solution to eliminate your reservations about the issue! And what is that? This one? No man. I'd fully expect to be laughed out of a design meeting at any professional studio where I'd propose such a "feature". This is simply not going to happen in this mod...

Congratulations!

and Thank you! I always appreciate your hard work on our behalf.

I've always found it jarring within the Minecraft world that things are NOT happening unless I'm nearby. I understand it from a practicality standpoint but it's still jarring. With BTW's ability to give us amazing creative control and fantastic machines, using resources from all over the map means ...

This is way too "gamey" for me guys. Giving the player the ability to manipulate the load/save system of a game from within the game is a big immersion killer IMO. It's not something I would feel comfortable using as a player, and thus not something I would build into the mod. I think I'd...

Given the games ARE indie and some of them quite good, I'm not sure I understand the vitriol. I'm no fan of EA, but providing additional exposure for the small studios involved can only really be a good thing.

I would be a proponent of this, though I would worry about performance on my MBP.
