    So I have since been able to connect most of the farms on this side of the river. The main one that is not yet connected is the honey farm. But I also suspect that the honey farm is currently broken. If anyone wants to modify or add on to the system, feel free to do so. Also, it would be easy to extend the system across the river, but I have not done that. I also need to just tidy up the area, as I have items scattered everywhere.

    If someone wants to, they are free to build an exterior around this storage system, since I currently have no ideas yet for what to build. If someone does want to, I would recommend leaving space to expand northward, as there is currently no more free sorters to assign. If someone wants to add more items/sorters, the design is tileable, so it is just a simple copy of the edge slice

    I already turned them on. I do agree it isn't that necessary, but it was easy to hook up so I thought might as well

    I have made pretty good progress on adding centralized storage for the industrial district. The following farms are now outputting to the same spot:

    • wool
    • melon
    • pumpkin
    • bamboo
    • carrot
    • potato
    • sweet berry
    • iron
    • bone block
    • cactus
    • rotten flesh
    • bones
    • arrows
    • gunpowder
    • string
    • spider eyes
    • cooked chicken
    • feathers
    • ink sacs
    • glow ink

    There are still a variety of farms that do not require player interaction that would be worth connecting still. I did dismantle the second cactus farm. That means currently our only source of bone blocks is through poppies, as it appears the moss farm is broken.

    To add another farm output to this centralized storage, all that it requires is having it input into the water stream, and then replace the placeholder paper in an item filter with the new item

    Edit: adding connected farms to the list as I connect them

    As TSP already mentioned there are various pros and cons to each approach. I personally prefer doing it above ground as then it would be more scenic. Also, I have ridden a few rail lines built by some who did do various corners and height changes, and while not ideal, it does seem relatively doable to add height changes with our high speed rails. Honestly, I think the choice between above ground or underground will be up to whoever is building that specific line

    That would be great. Also, that stretch could continue going north and serve the flower farms area north of you.

    One of the two HOAs also had a similar idea

    Storage is outside of HOAs authority. But a transit hub would impact the whole server so wanted to float the idea out there before starting. I also need to finish the industrial district improvements, so will not get around to starting it for a bit

    I can make some tunnel bores if we build the lines underground.

    I was thinking probably a mixture of underground and above ground. I was going to talk to you about tunnel bores once we get that far along

    Also, there's probably a good spot right between town and storage that would accommodate visits to both very well

    There probably is, but then the transit hub would kind of be awkwardly located where it is not ideal for anything. There is already the existing express line between storage and town, so my thoughts is chose either at storage, or expand the existing stop in town. My reasoning for putting it at storage is that is a location people already travel to frequently, so makes more sense to have that be the hub than town.

    So a project I have been thinking about for the past few days is to get a transit system set up on the server. I am thinking rather than having the transit hub located in town, to have it located at community storage instead. The reasoning for having it be at storage is it is a location that people will want to frequent, as well as already having an express line to town and the industrial district. If at comm. storage, it could be built in the basement, which would have tons of space for multiple rail lines. What are people's thoughts on having the hub be at storage rather than in town?

    For the design, I think I would want it to be a bit more grandiose than last season's transit hub. I am thinking of styling it more in line with grand central station and similar train stations. Building it underground might make it a bit harder to create a grand feeling due to the lack of windows though.

    If I were to start on this project, I would be interested in having others help create additional rail lines. I could also use some help on building the transit hub as well if you have ideas.

    Well this one is smaller and simpler. I was just getting annoyed with a lot of the farms storage overflowing. Plus, with having various litematica designs saved, this one was really easy for me to implement. The more time consuming part is making all the water streams to the central location. If we do end up with a good candidate for a restart detector, this storage will make it easy to connect the industrial district to community storage

    I have started work on creating centralized storage for the industrial district that is shulker-loaded. I have connected the wool farm up to this system, and am working on adding more. The more manual input farms like tree farms will not be connected to the central storage, since players will want to be able to collect their materials at the farms they are using. This central storage system could also be repurposed to sending it to community storage later on, although we need a server restart detector before doing that.

    The first two albums were iconic, and I did enjoy the third (Wilder Mind) despite the drastic style shift. The fourth (Delta) had a few songs I quite liked, but wasn't as solid of an album. They just released a new album, which seems like a return to the style of their first two albums, but has more layers to it

    So I have finally got my testing frameworks configured for the backend of the website I am using to learn React. To test my API I am using JEST and Supertest. I have written tests for the full CRUD functionality of one of my models. When I was in school doing a group project I remember a pain point of our testing was that for testing someone would have to add another data entry into our fixtures, which would cause a cascade of broken tests. So, I am trying to have all my fixtures as JSON objects, which then allows for me to dynamically reference the fixtures in my tests. Hopefully this will prevent me from breaking tests if I need a larger dataset later. Now I will have to spend the next little while writing more tests, as I wrote a fair amount of models without testing. I know AI could probably quickly write these tests for me, but since the project is mainly for me to learn, I want to avoid using AI.

    In the process of adding compasses to various locations I noticed that the flower farms district has no supporting infrastructure. I have added a portal, which can be accessed via the north tunnel, about five blocks north of the turnoff for the Guardian XP Farm tunnel, you will notice on the other side the tunnel the flower farm tunnel. I have also built a house in the overworld for the portal. I have added paths from the portal house towards each farm, and signage to designate which direction to go for each flower. There is a lot of torch spam surrounding the trails so that you will not get swarmed, but it is not something that I would consider "safe"

    @creesch would you please be willing to move the bluemap marker to -1185, 72, -1850 to better align with the portal?

    Reposting from last thread:

    So I have built the Adventurer's Society in town, across the road from the Emerald Embassy. The plan for this build is to have a centralized place for implementing and organizing my idea of lodestone based navigation around the server. The idea is simple of just having a bundle full of compasses of various points of interest.

    I have started adding lodestones to some communal builds, with plans to add more. For player's bases I am not adding them myself, but at the Adventurer's Society there are shulkers with the supplies to do it yourself. Simply grab a shulker of supplies, add the lodestone and map the stack of compasses provided, and relabel them. Once the compasses are done, simply return the stack of compasses to the building (add them to the bundles, one to the master set chest, and the remaining in the surplus chest).

    If you grab a bundle yourself, please note that especially in the earlier stages you may have to sporadically visit to add any compasses to your set that you do not already have.

    This system is not meant to invalidate bluemap, but to provide an in-game alternative for those who want. I personally use bluemap frequently, but I also enjoy having an in-game alternative for immersion.

    I am part way through implementing it, and it seems pretty easy so far. Right now I am just in the process of adding indexers.

    That is a good suggestion. Line maps might be the better method for the nether. It would also be fairly easy to do

    There is not much that you can do to help or sponsor the project besides placing lodestones at your base and then dropping off compasses. I have even gone so far as creating shulkers that have a lodestone, compasses, an anvil, and xp bottles so that there is everything needed. I have already tackled a handful of the bigger communal projects, but there are more to do if you want to help with that. It helps that lodestones in recent updates have gotten a lot cheaper
