Re: What infrastructure do you focus on?

I have some roads around my base connecting the often traveled areas. The most developed piece of infrastructure is probably my nether rail that gets me about 3/4 of the way to my village base. Other than that I have markers connecting respawns, but I haven't died a lot so currently there are only t...

Re: Unusual/Interesting Morrowind Classes

What the hell man, I just reinstalled Morrowind too last friday. Mainly because for some reason I felt like actually role-playing a character again for a change. I just went with a stock class that wasn't focused entirely around direct combat (Nightblade) and so far I'm having an absolute blast dick...

Re: [32x]Conquest Texture Pack with Deco Add-On support

I have the same problem with the load time, I just updated to the latest MCPatcher (5.0.0_02) from 4.3.2_02 which unsurprisingly didn't display most textures properly anymore. I'm having no further issues whatsoever and am loving this pack man. Great job on everything!

Re: The BTSM/BTW divide

I haven't played BTSM or KSP yet because I can't afford to lose more of my spare time. I'm also not entirely set on KSP being a game that I can keep investing time in, something that I feel is important for my enjoyment of a game.

Additional features for weapons, gear ect and polish that fills out what I felt was a ho-hum stock title. I bought the packa...

[SPOILERS] Breeding harnesses and HC Nothing to Worry About

I have been attempting to build a functional squid farm and found that possessed cows lose their possession status when equipped with a harness. Furthermore, cows in breeding harness either don't get repossessed or they at least appear to not display the same effects normal possessed cows would. I a...

Re: Early Iron Mines - Cave, Strip, Ravine or Other?

I follow the exact same routine FC does, except instead of stairs I often start out with a ladder down to the first strata. I'm just not particularly fond of long deep stairwells I suppose.

Re: (Possible Spoilers)Help Finding Village

You can link them up by making a portal to the nether, but not going through it. You can then build a portal in the nether approximate to the overworld portal's location and if they are close enough (i.e. within 128 blocks in the overworld) they should link up. It's guess work, and you're likely to ...

Re: Subtle features you forgot are from BTW

One of the most subtle 'features' that I noticed, is the fact that when you place a dirt slab in an area where it can't be placed (i.e. the upper half of a block above the ground or the lower half on the ceiling) it automatically places the block in the position where it can be placed rather than no...

Re: How to Gain Courage to Progress

I found that the best way to start out with mob traps is to try and figure out a fast way to dispose of mobs that fall into your collection area. It got me to work out water-flow and by extension to figure out an efficient way of setting up spawn platforms.

Re: Mob Farm Help

The sky and afk platforms are based on vanilla exploits using the 'sphere of influence' in which mobs can spawn. If I recall correctly, BTW uses a cylinder centered on the player in which mobs can spawn to discourage the use of sky mobtraps. You'll have to light up caves anyway. As for your question...

Re: Stairs and slats

That's vanilla behavior. Same rules that apply to the way glass panes, iron bars and fences connect (or rather, don't) to non-solid blocks like slabs, stairs, leaves, etc.

Re: Vanilla Minecraft News Discussion

Is it just me or has Mojang killed modding in general? Are you sure the mods simply aren't released to the public yet? The Mindcrack guys are currently running a rather heavily modded 1.7 server, though I wouldn't be surprised if they're essentially beta-testing it for the modders as the pack they'...
