My first saw!

[Folrig]

Might I say the saw is the coolest thing...ever! And when I use "ever" include the Beatles and Godzilla. The saw makes wood go so much further, it's fun to use, AND panels, molding, and corners are wonderful building tools.

I want to declare this as the coolest aspect of BTW, but the saw is the furthest up the tech tree I have made it thus far.

FC, hat's off to you sir!

I really like the saw a lot too, but my favorite block is the turntable. I never have to make a redstone clock again. :)

neither of you have a functioning elevator then. :3
between it's actual use and the sense of accomplishment that has to be the best part.

My personal favorite is the Hopper. Now that you have yourself a Saw, start building some of those ;)

Nothing will ever compare to the block dispencer.

Heh, immediately after I get my Saw up and running, that's exactly what I do. Not only because it's the next logical step, but it just helps so much with the collection of poops which I always seem to be lacking at that stage. I can deal with manual farming for a while, but poop collection is just so much more efficient and easier to deal with when you've got a simple stream and Hopper set up. I'm looking forward to using them in more complicated setups.

One thing I really liked about the Saw when I first used it was actually the Corners -> 2 Gears thing.

I would have to say that the hopper is also my favorite block. It makes automatic collection possible (besides the cauldron). And having it sort items and all its other uses just make me giggle with excitement, and glow with satisfaction whenever I have a cool hopper setup going.

I really like the alternate recipes for vanilla stuff, especially the ones using mouldings, corners and sidings, such as

Spoiler

Show

A siding above a moulding to create a sign, or three mouldings for stairs.

Another thing I like about the recipes is that most of them are easy to guess but also realistic and interesting, for instance, the order of the items for the haft, or the saw recipe.
In vanilla many things are hard to guess - a lever is made upside down, TNT is just a mix of materials in a symmetrical way and I still don't understand how to make a fence gate.

Heh, when I first started playing not long ago I tried to make the Axle from memory and did it horizontally when it was still a vertical recipe. A simple change but it actually did affect me.

My favorite is the light block ;) I just love turning my mob spawning platforms off with the click of a button

Wow I never thought about that one... would have made life so much easier when trying to fix it rather than charging in and dying while plugging the hole...

There's this new thing added in a later update, which automatically blocks the hole for you when you just left click on it. It's called a door.

I meant for the mob grinders... I usually have 4x4 holes in my design setup... cant block that by doors...

Same for me, I'm currently installing a setup with 16 pistons to block the hole.

I'll likely build a turntable soon. Right now I am messing around with making Concentrated Hellfire. I summoned my first Ghast, and I'll have to deal with him next time I'm able to play.

(I whole heartedly agree with your esteem of Bowser. He indeed does rule. And I need to reciprocate, while I don't recognize your avatar, dragons are very cool!)

Hoppers were the first things I built after making the saw...after goofing around making a bunch of panels and molding.

The first time I was blown away by the hopper was back when they were constructed with two planks. I felt soooofisticated because I was able to copy Batosay's automated hemp farm. The reason I never built the saw then was because I first used BTW on Vechs Super Hostile - Black Dessert. If you don't already know, Vechs is a guy who makes absurdly hard survival maps. In the Super Hostile series dirt is a resource to be cherished, so wolves are non-existent (honestly I'm surprised I found lapis to make the detector block and finish the hemp farm...that took some serious serching).

Nothing will ever compare to the block dispencer.

The awesomeness of the BD crept up on me. I didn't realize just how powerful it was until I combined it with my (first) redstone timer. I made an automatic cobblestone factory and I was floored when I walked away for a few minutes and came back to find twenty stacks of cobblestone waiting for me. What a time saver (it also slices and dices)!

And this is just scratching the surface of automation....so cool!
