Re: Redstone: a quick reference quide

So I built a shed and started playing with the first circuit. I've finally understood how the monostable part works (with the repeater). For the piston part, do I need a normal piston or a sticky piston? (I assume it's the later as it did not work with a normal piston.) If so, I'll need to find a wa...

Re: Redstone: a quick reference quide

As a major ignoramus regarding redstone, I'd really like an explanation of the terms used. I think I can make sense of "adder" but the other terms escape me.

Re: Hardcore Modes - A Big Thank You, in Narrative Form!

I have a quick question about this For starters, I will talk about my little chicken pen. It is growing exponentially fast now (seeing as all but one spot on the gro...

Re: Hardcore Bedding Thoughts and Showcases

Ah, yes, the clock. Back in the day, it was about the only thing to do with gold, and it was most useful to decide when to stop mining.

Thanks for bringing back the golden days ;)

BTW and the gift economy

I was listening to this Long Now talk by Tim O'Reilly (http://longnow.org/seminars/02012/sep/05/birth-global-mind/), and I realized that BTW fits perfectly well in what he describes. Here is a quote from the summary. The global mind is not an artificial intelligence. It’s us, connected and augmented...

Re: Is there a Let's Play of BTW in French?

I'm not afraid of English and am very much enjoying these Let's Plays. It's for my kids, one who just started English in Junior high, and the other who is much younger (she's 5 and finished her first big project: build a house and a bed. Yes, I'm a proud dad ;) ). I really enjoy helping them discove...

Is there a Let's Play of BTW in French?

Hello, I'm slowly climbing the tech tree of BTW and having a blast doing so (I'm just starting: only finished a wind mill and a stewing pot) in the little time I have off work. Luckily my kids have much more time, but they don't speak English yet. So I was wondering if there were some Let's Play of ...

Re: BTW Tutorial/"Let's Play" Series (Better Then Sam)

As I said on the MCF, it's great to have Let's Plays to learn the mod. And I was afraid of running out of Morvelaira videos ...
