    Yeah, I visited it off-season this year with someone else from this website, and it really did feel that way. I'd leave it to @Pavouk106 to recommend better in-country destinations, however

    Off topic Prague is dealing with so much overtourism these days that it hurts. Praha 1 and a few surrounding neighbourhoods just feel like disneyland for tourists at this point. If you do end up ever visiting Prague make sure you have a good idea of what you actually want to do, and what there _is_ to do outside Praha 1.

    Praha 1 is just kind of depressing at this point...

    I imagine those mom & pop stores might've shut down during the pandemic. I noticed similar things happening across the Atlantic, where I'm located. The lockdowns were pretty harsh for these little shops, leading to their eventual replacement by corpo chains

    My mom didn't let me watch watch spongebob specifically because she thought it would turn me into a homosexual. I watched it in secret without her knowing

    Anyway I'm now a lesbian trans woman.

    Let your kids watch what they wanna watch imho, they're going to watch it without your permission anyway if they want it a lot.

    I regularly rebind mouse keys to my keyboard when doing something repetitive. E.g. when I was digging that blue ice tunnel last season, I did most of it via keyboard.

    Sometimes I even make sure to bind things to buttons on the edges of my keyboard so I can put my phone on top of them and keep the button pressed.

    Currently, the only legit way to visit me quickly is via high speed rail on the overworld. There used to be a 2nd way (via the nether hub), but I'm not properly connected to it at the moment and likely won't reconnect to it in the near future. Technically you could just sail all the way to me, but it'd take a long-ass time.

    To take the train to Poland:

    • From Spawn, move north to enter Tildetown.
    • In Tildetown, move west until you reach Mayor Bront's town hall (the building with the tildes flag), the bartering hall, and the dragon statue
    • Enter the town hall and take the water-elevator down to the train station
    • Take the train towards the west until you reach the tildes grand station (i.e. below comm. storage)
    • In the train station, switch to the train platform handling the route "IC15 POLAND EXPRESS". Ideally, ensure it's morning, noon, or shortly before sunrise before you take the train, to avoid any unpleasant encounters.
    • Take the train to Poland. In each junction, click the relevant button that takes you towards Poland, as per the signs placed around each junction.
    • Exit at the final stop (Słonecznikowo Główny). You are now in Słonecznikowo

    The majority of my base (at least the part east of the river) is mostly spawnproof, but not entirely. Mind you, I'm building very iteratively, so I've only been building rough building exteriors for the last few months. Once I finish doing the same for the old town (the part west of the river), I'll start finishing/detailing the exteriors etc. It's going to take me a super long time until I can start doing interiors.

    It's roughly 1km² if I recall correctly. I had bigger plans in the beginning, but I had to scale things back a bit

    I'm happy to hear you're checking my builds every now and then, though you're busy with other things irl nowadays :)

    Those cranes (unlike the construction crane in another part of my base) are heavily based on @Evie's design. I was originally going to go with a far simpler design, but decided to instead use Evie's because it'd canonically make a lot of sense for us to use similar-looking cranes, considering our bases' somewhat-overlapping history/canon. And in fact the westmost the docking station - the one that'd canonically be used by cargo/oil ships handling Słonecznikowo-Leszczyński Platform logistics - has schematics that are completely identical to hers.

    Sidenote, I'm keeping a (pretty long) book where I note down everyone who's ever helped me build this base, and anyone whose schematics I've used for parts of my base, even if it was just a tiny bit of indirect assistance, so I can credit every person when the base is finished. You're in it too!

    It's true that I haven't posted screenshots in a while and instead used direct map links, so I'll keep the idea for the next thread in 1-2 weeks, and try to capture some nice ones until then!...

    It's true that I haven't posted screenshots in a while and instead used direct map links, so I'll keep the idea for the next thread in 1-2 weeks, and try to capture some nice ones until then! Maybe I'll even find a shader my pitiful laptop can support when voxy is also running

    Until then, you're welcome to virtually visit Słonecznikowo via the bluemap: click here for "perspective mode" or click here for "free-roaming mode"
