Aquaduct designs

Post by dawnraider »

I always suck at these. Mine are always just floating bridges. I would love to see yours, so I can get inspiration, and so others can see them!
Mine (incomplete, but you get the general idea of it):

Could you take that picture again after sunrise? I cannot make out any detail at all.

Only built one aquaduct so far, and to be honest it's about the only part of that base that is actually somewhat developed at the moment. The windmill is purely decorational, btw, as a waterwheel actually powers the pumps. Can't have my crops going dry when it snows...

Yeah, sorry about that. I'll get it once I can get back on MC.

Looks nice! Yeah, I hadn't looked at that thread yet, so I hadn't seen that. That is actually pretty easy to adapt mine to, so I think I might use that.

Do I sense some Far East influences in your architecture? :)

Was going for a more nordic style there, to be honest, though I guess it could fit far east as well.

One I'm currently working on. I redirected a mountain spring back into my base and use it for some small automated farms inside my mountain base.

Then I pumped the water up through the inside of the base to get to what is going to be the distribution channels for my dung farm.

I still need to work on some supports under this part.

Then I figured out I needed to get some water out to my mob trap and I wanted it to come from high enough that I could work it around to wherever I need it and then carry it out into some of my other buildings I'm putting out in the desert.

Don't mind the poop factory waypoints. :) Running joke between me and the Mrs. Let's just say she was really surprised one day when I was wondering near the dung farm and all my wolves started shitting.

edit*

Aquaduct to the Mob Farm with access to the top of the duct.

Not to go too off topic but, ImSheroPsu those black lines between blocks are not supposed to be there, they are the result of the fact that the configuration of your videocard is wrong. If i recall correctly its an antialiasing issue. Your game should look better.

Back on topic i recently completed my first water duct and man does it look weird just hanging there, i will probably come up with something and share with you guys by the end of the week.
Oh great, now nothing can stop the inbred train
