Most people tend to prefer McDonald's coffee (they did buy Timmies' old supplier). However, Timmies is still quite popular. When most people say it sucks now, who is still buying it where there are lines in the drive thru every weekday morning?

I think anything after 1.16 has a different feel to the game than what I started playing with, since the combination of the nether overhaul and also the update with caves drastically changed the world.

Also, I recall conversations at some point where Mojang has been holding back features to make sure it still runs well on lower end devices. The timing to increase requirements is bad with high hardware prices, but it has been something that has been needed to be done for a while. Also, with Java, if your computer can not run newer updates, you can always stick with the earlier versions

I have since added hallways to access the rooms on the southern end, with the hallway entrance being on the second floor (up the water elevators near the bulk storage section, then go up the stairs to the quartz dome, then go through the entrance on the right). If you want and have ideas, feel free to take over and redecorate a hotel room or several. The one thing I would encourage is to try and not go overboard with armour stands, to prevent the area from being too laggy if several people spam a hundred armour stands into their respective rooms.
Edit: I have been informed that if you lock the armour stands, they have very minimal performance impact

I am unsure if after my changes if it still handles other item inputs going by mistake, but the farm is pretty closed off that I doubt that would be an issue now

- Transit hub (it is the line at the end)
- A junction station in the town located at -617, 1050. This station was fun to build as I got to try and blend it in with the terralith town. It also seems to be a very similar town to what @lazerdye is renovating in the north
- The sulfur farm has a branch line, to make it more accessible and not require boating down the various rivers. Although, not taking the boat means you do not get a good viewing angle of @Macha's house, as I think that place looks really cool when travelling via the rivers.
- A fourth station in the wilderness at -647, 1966. I built this section because I have vague memories of the S1 transit system having stops in the random wilderness so wanted to recreate that, plus it stops near an unclaimed moonlight grove biome (same biome as comm. storage), which would be a fun biome for someone to build in
I still need to add the supports for the bridges for the lines past town junction station, but I may not complete that for a while.I have finished this. The southern end station could use some decorating, but I currently do not have any ideas for that one@creesch for bluemap it has a few different height changes, so the best way to add it would be to have you ride it with your coords logging mod.

I felt that a southern line would be a nice addition, so have been working on that recently
Edit: I have added the details to the rail bridge in your area, so that if you visit anytime soon it is not just a floating bridge

It has been cool reading the child comments of this to see how many people have been lurking on us via bluemap, but now it is making me consider trying to optimize my progress for bluemap, which does not align with my projects this season

IsildursBane Link ParentYou are not the first person to express this sentiment. I know in talking with others on this server, we have felt that being on this server has pushed us to build better, and that our best builds...To be completely honest, I was really excited to play Minecraft again when the server last came back online, but after like two days of seeing other people's builds I started feeling like an absolute moron and lost my desire to play. It's like I'm not even playing the same game as everyone else, and it doesn't make me feel particularly good.
You are not the first person to express this sentiment. I know in talking with others on this server, we have felt that being on this server has pushed us to build better, and that our best builds have been on the server. For me, there has been a few things I have done on this server to help me build better:
- I am willing to experiment and build some stuff over again. In building the exterior for the community storage, when figuring out the exterior walls I built a few different sections with different blocks before committing to a design I liked to build. This process also left a small one or two block gap, which I actually liked and carried over in the final design. I will also realize in figuring out as I build, that something is misaligned and am willing to do the work to move everything over, which helps a lot.
- When figuring out a build idea, I wait until I have a rough idea of what I want, then I tour the server for further inspiration in that build style and also search online for others who have built in that style. Last season both myself and @Evie built gothic cathedral inspired builds, and I would occasionally go to her base to see how she did something.
- I normally have various projects going on in the server, of differing build styles. I normally have my main build, that I iterate throughout the season, only adding on when I get ideas, and then secondary smaller projects for when I do not have ideas on the main project. This works well for me, but I know others have a more planned out vision for their build so primarily work on their main project. Find what works for you.
Lastly, I want to encourage you that those of us on the server are just happy to see the world filled out more, and do not care about the builds themselves

Best way to access it is by following the rivers south of comm. storage until you reach the sulfur/froglight markers.
I have been on vacation for the past week and a half, with the first week being spent camping in the mountains. Especially on vacations, I leave my phone behind and carry my camera around instead. So now I am starting to sort through the pictures I have taken. One thing I have started to get pretty good at is taking pictures while riding my bike, so have some nice pictures from that which will be fun to edit.
