Forest fires

I've found lately a deep love for setting fire to the forest as I'm exploring. It clears out shade for mobs to hide in during the day, opens sight lines, is way faster than cutting by ax, leaves a much easier place to build a road, and leaves a pretty clear marker that someone went through there in the interim before road construction commences.

Also, I'm ashamed to admit that I've been setting wolves on fire on sight. Not for killing them, but for the exploity way that it doesn't provoke aggression.

This man has the right idea. Wolves are evil. So we must kill it with fire.

It also doesn't provoke flight response in nearby animals like hitting them does.

Wait, I might've just had a brilliant idea. Start carrying around a block dispenser/lever and turn pesky untamed wolves into cubes!

.... does this work? I always assumed it only worked for tamed wolves. Has anyone tried to turn you-know-what into a cube?

It does work for regular wolves, I have not tried with you-know-what but I would doubt it would. It would be amusing if it did work though.

Sigh.

You know, I sometimes do think of there being a scenario where I run past an operating block dispenser with a clock while a wolf is chasing me just for it to get sucked in and get turned into a cube, but I've never actually tried that trap. Yet. I'm gonna try it now.

Yep! It works! Just not very well. It's a little difficult to tell why, but basically I think if the clock goes too fast, it won't register. If it goes too slow, unless you have something to stop the wolf right in front of the block dispenser, it won't catch the wolf in time. So it requires a balance of speed. Also, forcing it down a narrow, 2-blocks high corridor seems to provide improved results.

I don't know. Maybe with a narrow corridor, and some help from pressure plates, it would work, but as fun and cool as it is, it seems very situational. I'd rather use a catch-all mob trap. It's still fun, though. :D

I'd honestly love to see a vid of someone doing that :)

I'd love to see how you do it. :)

No, he's kicking it old school and going pure carrier pigeon. His pigeon shall land in my roost, I shall untie the youtube video straight from its leg, and after watching it, I shall consume both the pigeon and the video.

The video so no one else may see it, and the pigeon because that's just how I roll.

I would so love this to happen... Evolutionary throwbacks are nice.

One of my wolves ate the pigeon. So I'll do it the modern way.

Somebody may have beaten you to it a very long time ago...

EDIT: Wtf? I was responding to a message that I swear was here a second ago with someone saying they wanted to build a house out of companion cubes :)

I just wanted to see the Factory Farming video again :) Wanna make it public for a little bit?

Seems that you are next, FC. See you on the other side. Just try to ignore the voices. Don't do what they say.

Arg...erg...errr...ok, just for a bit. That is a classic :)

Ahh, thank you very much :) Saving it for a rainy day. That was one of the funniest things I ever watched. And the music is just perfect...

Lol! Totally awesome man! The Benny Hill music during the chase scene had me in hysterics :)

What's funny about it? It was a serious critique of factory farming ;)

Thanks :) Yeah, I though it was pretty funny myself. And the trap failed twice. I couldn't have done it better if I tried

Might be a critique, but hardly a serious one. Or maybe I'm just sick.

Poor piggy, look at his sad face...

Are you mocking my art?

jorgebonafe · Post by **jorgebonafe** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 4:09 am

Nope :) I think its awesome how you sneakily put these morality issues in the game. And I seem to recall some posts in MCF of people who stopped playing because of it, and I also find that hilarious... You have a knack for making people uncomfortable :P

By not serious I didn't mean it has no value, on the contrary, I just meant its a very different way of showing it, through the game, instead of showing a video or documentary of the real thing for instance.
