That's what I get for using a host which wouldn't compress my images but wasn't well known.

I'm fairly certain I have them, I'll check today.

Automatic mushroom farm isn't too hard to build- certainly a lot simpler than wheat farming.
I've built auto-wheat a few times, but never had much luck with a mushroom farm. Want to share a good design?

Re: Stake and Hearty Stew

This Bridge I made with stakes and string So I'm sort of addicted to meaningful aesthetic uses for stakes and string. They make for very nice suspension cables. Note: string does not obstruct movement. Therefore, you can walk/jump off the bridge easily. last picture is my hoard of string and stakes...

Re: Late game, need to clear a jungle.... idea!

ah, I hadn't even considered health potions and ender pearls. In general I didn't think this through very well. I have a lot of fire, and I'm almost dead. There may also be 2-3 ghasts roaming the overworld now... not sure if they despawn if they move far enough away.

Blight takeover [Spoilers]

So on my current world I finally got enough automation set up to build a steel beacon, just one level for now. I inadvertently let the game running and starved (as you'd expect) and came back 24 hours later to my entire base at stage 2 blight. I hadn't actually encountered blight at all prior to thi...

Re: [SPOILERS] Hardcore Hunger for Wolves

Not that this is an option most would like to consider. But, you can just mercy kill the wolves. Then, go out for more after you are able to actually sustain them. You don't need more then 10 or so dung to last you into the mid game. So keep them around until you have enough poo. It's not like ther...

Re: Feedback Request: Build breakers

Also there's the way that with previous hardcore changes the fact that pre-hardcore resources had been accumulated is what felt so cheaty. The more recent changes, not so much. In the end, a broken build is just one more project to look forward to and reason to load up my save. And there's the fact...

Re: [SPOILERS] Hardcore Hunger for Wolves

I then left them unattended, now they are all gone so they either suffocated in the walls or ripped each other to shreds. Not sure which. The ones I left hungry disappeared, as well. They weren't in the same pen together, and one of them had plenty of room. I wonder if they simply starved to death....

Re: Automatic wheat farm, detector block issues?

I'm fairly certain that block detectors do not work when facing downward at the wheat. Only when they are facing horizontally will they 'see' the top of the wheat poking above the block. You're probably looking at a complete rebuild. I had a full scale auto-wheat farm on a slightly earlier version ...

Re: New Release! (BTW V4.99999A0D Marsupial??!!)

Changed wolves to think that villagers are rather tasty and villagers to not think very highly of them as a result. So I didn't really think this was a huge change originally, wolves and villagers normally were each in their own separate biomes most of the time. But my first ever attempt at a cross...

Re: Building Timers Pre-Anvil

I think the whole point of moving steel to the end was to force you into hulking builds that you could refine later with higher tech. As far as timers go, I've used item decay on a pressure plate as a 5 minute timer. You could string them into succession for multiples of 5minutes. Yup, That's the m...
