the wind mill entrance and the dung farm in the side

inside the wind mill


the hose in the side of the wind mill AKA Water well hose and the cobble house is the auto hemp farm

the auto breeding and auto wheat farm

This is my humble abode, conveniently located in a heavily-terraformed desert biome. Yay for not having to disengage my windmill whenever it rains ten blocks away.



In my efforts to make it look nice, I ended up embedding most of my soul-farm industry into the mountain walls. You'd be surprised how much of a challenge it can be to design good-looking machinery... if you don't place glass in front of stuff, items really have a tendency to pop all over the place.



Ofcourse, now that I've finally got the basics set up, it's time for some serious automation. I started out with an expandable hempfarm. Need more hemp, just add another level to the top!

I played a multiplayer map once with a few friends (my poor computer could barely manage it). At some point, I built the above structure mostly to house the below item...



I figured that, if you were going to build a portal to some strange place, you'd atleast do it in a place that you could defend if something went awfully wrong.

This has to be the biggest build I've done so far. I started digging and digging and before I knew it, I had a rather big hole in the lawn. The bottom four levels were sheep-farms for all 16 colours (though I never did get the brown ones). The top level was one I was rather proud of... the biome ring:







And ofcourse some of the sheepsies:

The lag pits! Massive lag spike everytime these chunks load and unload, and they happen to be in such a position that they load/unload right in the middle of the area I'm building in. I'll be moving them indoors to an automated facility as soon as I get enough dung for the harnesses. Then there will be a mass slaughter of epic proportions!


Different buildings for each automation type. Closest building is for the sawmill, still a wip. Roofless building on the left is actually my home 'base'. I quickly decided I disliked what I was doing with it and abandoned the design within a few mc days after spawning. Still rethinking what I want my home building to look like. Brick and stone building on the right also unfinished is for stewing pots, stoked stewing pots, and a kiln.


Featured at the center of my little village, is.... the wolves dungeon! I'm not finished with the design of it, but I love the way its turning out.


Especially this part :-D


Shot from my temporary tree farm. Building in the center is my workshop, used for temporary btw systems until I get things automated. Then I'll turn it either into a central control tower (lens's controlling all automation in the other buildings) or into a 'test' space for redstone designs and new btw features. Building on the right is for my crops. It hasn't been automated either, although I could do that at any time, I just have been too lazy to bother since I wanted to get automated steel production going asap.
