Fixing a Map Mistake

Hey, I accidentally opened a map in the wrong place while working on my map wall, and I was trying to find a way to recover it. I was browsing around for vanilla MC solutions, but I'm getting the impression maps have been changed since our version. If anything it might be nice to have a less-than-fu...

Re: Soylent (But not green)

Anyway, what about the financial aspect, does it save you money? Not particularly. If we're talking homemade lunches, you can get a pretty balanced meal for about $1.50 if you spend it right, and make things from scratch. It technically does if you consider that I make 400 calories of that stuff la...

Re: Soylent (But not green)

Lol, sounds like you guys should read some ancient philosophers. I tried it out for the last few days, and it is seriously blegh. It doesn't have any taste but the hint of rice milk and some kind of chalky texture, but that goes away if you mix it like crazy. Definitely drink it with tons of ice, an...

My friend says that he's had a bad time with some newer graphics cards (as of like 2 weeks ago) but I haven't seen it. It stays out of my way, really. No weird popups, I turned of...

So I found an actually really chill foodstuff called Soylent, and for some reason it made me think of BTW. Not sure why. https://www.soylent.com/ I just ordered my first bag of the powder, and honestly, I have no idea what it's going to taste like. Have any of you guys had it? I know we all make jok...

Re: Optimal Melon Farm Layout

Thanks for all the responses - I looked at the wiki, and Epsilon's right, the number of free spaces does affect spawning. I think I'm going to test out this format here, which is like a staggered form of Dawnraider's idea. Basically, the idea is to make it so that every 2 melons only have 2 availabl...

Soooooo I'm starting a fairly large outpost that I want to have a decent supply of melons growing at, for insurance purposes. So far I've fairly absentmindedly laid out my melon farms like this: m = melon s = soil mssmssm mssmssm and so on. I've thought about changing it to something like a checkerb...

Re: A... Cave Anomaly? [Spoilers]

Its probably a surface ravine/pit intersecting the mineshaft- looks like it lines up with a regular cave on the other side too. Chances are this is normal generation- MC does some fairly cool stuff when things line up. Oh. I totally, y'know, walked a few feet in and looked up. Uhh, durr. Hurr durr....

Re: First Iron Tool: Pick or Hoe?

So I finally got that final iron, and made a pick. Very pleased.

Gonna get some cows, now that I have leather armor, gonna be unnecessarily ballsy. So far, pleased...

First Iron Tool: Pick or Hoe?

I'm just coming up on 3 iron bars in my current area, and I'm really starting to wonder whether it is worth it to make a pick to start. I haven't seen this as a topic since the changes to seeds, so I figured I'd poll around for an idea. My reasoning so far is that the pick won't do me much good; I e...

Re: Efficient Animal Killing Pits

It occurs to me that as an abuse of hooves, mixing cows with other animals could have them slaughter everything else for you. Have not tried it. I tried that, actually. I'd need to make the pit a little deeper to make good use of it. Pigs, literally, fly. I have an idea, though. If I make a pit wit...

Efficient Animal Killing Pits

Recently, I've started using a new method of animal-killing on hunting trips that saves a lot of fat from my heiney. 4x4x2 Genocide pits! I go to an area, right about at the middle of the inevitable group of animals, and I start pushing them, gingerly, into a pit. I imagine once I finally get some s...

What infrastructure do you focus on?

I always build roads. Everywhere. By day three I'm occasionally challenging wolves and making paths through forests, tundra forests, plains, mountains, etc. And bridges.
