nice, man! I love the netherbrick detailing, and the imposing size and shape of that gate on the side is really cool.

I havent even begun to build :)

My next megaproject will likely be a 64x64 mobtrap that will go up to the clouds and at the top will be all my beacons ;)

The other day I was about to back up one of my worlds(of which I had a pretty impressive mob trap, and lots of steel) from after the update to SS, and for some dumbass reason, I forgot that in Windows Explorer, CTRL-D means delete (not duplicate, as it does in some much older programs I think) and I deleted my world, I had no other backups, because I was just about to change them out, and my computer doesn't use the recycling bin. It's okay though because I had already sort of abandoned that world, but now I can't show you guys all the cool stuff I had.

Might be worth trying out a free software recovery program. I have never used one myself, but a few of them look solid.

First it isn't that big of a deal. Second I don't have a spinning drive, I have an SSD and I don't think it works unless you have a disk that works by leaving imprints.

Maybe I'll look into it just for nostalgia's sake though.

Then why are you going on about it in this thread, where it is distinctly off-topic despite the tenuous connection you drew to it?

Gil and I build this blaze farm around a spawner last stream. It has 20 spawning spaces and looks pretty :3

Figured I'd make a post for my most recent world. It is mostly me, but my one friend sometimes joins me, I might have some more people join later though.

My main base as of today, no I didn't colorize the windmill, my friend did. :P

So I have looked at a lot of mechanical designs people have made and posted pictures of, and for some reason I have never seen someone do this, so I decided to post this to show how I make a bellows, and its more compact/efficient than any other way that I have seen posted:

It only needs two redstone(and one torch) because when the torch powers the redstone, the redstone powers the turntable which starts spinning in the opposite direction, so it just goes back and forth.

yhetti! I have made a video which is basically the same design, see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG96nycPvhE
(which is inspired by a design from very early on in this thread!)

I also made a simple dung farm, if anyone is interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgNVwsN56Jk

I think the only thing is you don't really need the second redstone torch, but nice.

I'll have to check out the dung farm too.

Looking at all these builds, I just realized how small the windmill actually is. Comparatively of course.

Thought I would post some photos of my progression on the server:

Step 1: The hole:
This is the original hole I made when I first spawned, everything's been taken out of it, but this is the only pic I have.

Step 2: The House:
The house I built when I grew too big for my hole, at this point other people started playing too.

Step 3: Rapid Expansion:

The base at its prime:

Various farms and contraptions:

The Pathetic Squid grinder:
Image
Step 4: Relocation:
After we found a village and made a small base there, we got our soul steel and decided it was nicer at the other base so we stayed.
I don't have any pics of the original village, but here are some of us building some giant structures there.
Spoiler
Show
First our little villager prison camp:
Image
Image
This started to get cramped really quickly...
Image
So first I built a giant cooking area:
Image
and then we started building "The Capitol"
Image
You can start to see markers my friend put for his giant fortress wall, we are all perfectionists, everything has to be perfectly square, his wall is 128x128.
Image
Image
Image
Image
The checkerboard was gonna be where the Infernal enchanter was but we decided to move that to somewhere else.
Image
Image
Image
Image
And finally, the exterior is finished.
Image
He's taking his time on those walls :P
Image
And finally, the interior is finished, we still have yet to decide what goes on the second story:
Image
Image
Step 4: Industrialization
My buildings looked ugly, but they darn well work.
Spoiler
Show
I ripped out the mushrooms, Ill have to find a new place for them.
First I built a really nice auto-saw, I tested it a million times to make sure it didn't lose any wood; then I built an auto-pottery machine, and realized that I forgot it had to have a water source at the top, so I built a well/water pump. This pottery machine is based off of one that was posted recently, I forget by whom.
Image
Then I took advantage of my new well and the blacksmith's lava that I luckily saved to build a cobble generator based on Noir's design, seen on the right.
Image
A mill, and a quick little machine to help bottle souls.
Image
Looks like I finally placed those beacons that hadn't been used yet:
Image
Image
A lovely little cow slaughtering machine:
Image
Image
Anyways, that's where I am now, we still have to work on that wall and lighting everything up in the fortress for now.
I'll probably post some more pictures later of what my original base looks like now, its very sad.
