    If anyone else is on today, could someone turn off the gravity duper, or at least swap the red and orange concrete for other colors? (It'll also likely need to be unclogged)
    I had intended on doing that this morning, but I am currently too ill to move everything around. Ideally I'm better by tonight, but my 2 year old has had hand-foot-mouth for a few days now, so there's no saying how long the whole family will be laid out...

    I hypothesize that the supporting scaffolding might have played a role in the failure of the last farm - shulkers have strange rules about scaffolding that might cause them to teleport to an invalid spot, forcing an immediate second teleport at the new origin point. I know while afk a shulker killed me by teleporting inside my little bunker. I also think I built my bunker too close to the farm, which allowed a nucleation point for errant shulkers.

    I think in lieu of a named entity in a frame, I think the signs do a good job at removing ambiguity and reminding you of what's in there - which goes a long way towards learning a system!

    I was thinking of just replacing the stair underneath the sign with a representative block - cobble for cobble variants, maybe bone block for organics? Keeping the signs there as well should clarify any potential confusion. The signs are helpful for close-up UI, but from a distance, it's really hard for me to get my bearings in MIS.

    I think either that, or put a representative item in an item frame next to it, and nametag that item with the full category name. This is what I do in my home storage (Well, I've always intended to nametag the items, just never actually gotten around to it...)

    Thanks! It's gonna be hard to improve on that time, sometimes I need to use my computer for ACTUAL work. I also think there's a memory leak in one or more of the performance mods I have installed - after 16+ hours of uptime, it sometimes just crashes when I try to move, and usually takes 4+ minutes to actually close the game after I quit.

    But as far as AFK time goes, Isil built a clever chunk loader at comm. storage that ensures that everything is processed, and my In-Town-AFK-Spot only covers the boneblock and colored wool production. What other AFK options might be useful?

    • My #1 choice would be the shulker farm, it's currently borked (which I fear may be my fault).
    • Witch farm generates some fun things, and a decent variety.
    • Iron farm if anyone could use any more iron...
    • Bamboo farm hooked up to auto-crafters for planks and other wood products (Chests, boats, bowls, chiseled bookshelves)
    • The MANY other farms that I can't think of, or don't know where they are?

    Thank you so much for working on this, especially considering your tech issues! Your efforts are going to make all of our lives just a little bit easier.

    Time for another round of:
    Good News/Bad News

    Good news: The witch farm has about 60 stacks of blocks of redstone!

    Bad news: the witch farm seems to be broken, and no longer produces anything. I afk'd at it last night, but no items were generated (except maybe one redstone dust??). Down at the platform, I didn't see any witches spawning, but I have no idea why that would be. Try unloading and loading the chunks, re-logging, but neither seemed to have an effect.
    So, unless it's fixed, that's all the redstone we have for a while....

    In other AFK news, the bamboo farm attached to the comm. farms smelter wasn't producing anything because the minecart meant to pick up dropped bamboo had stalled on the track and wasn't moving. A little push got it working again, and bamboo is again flowing. I think with a crafter or two attached, it could make an abundance of chests without having to actively use the tree farm!

    I can put in some time at the witch farm, and also some time at the bamboo farm for chests (36 bamboo make 1 chest!).

    And I can farm some more shulker shells once a new farm is up, and I promise that my safety bunker won't provide a nucleation point for shulkers to teleport to!

    My observations seem to suggest that this was, indeed, done. For my sanity, can you confirm that you did, in fact, increase the sim. distance to 9?

    Oh, no! Get well soon, Isil's compy! If there's any help that you could use, let me know. If I have a minute I can at least donate some time/resources!

    Not really, feel free to build anywhere that's open! Good to have you on the server! (I'm usually on, but usually afk)

    Server FYI on Simulation Distance:

    The server simulation distance is set to 8, however, this is not calculated as I thought it was.

    When standing in ■ chunk, I thought it worked like this:
    ↓
    ■-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8

    When, in actuality, it appears that it works like this:
    ↓
    ■-2-3-4-5-6-7-8

    My factory/destroyed house are located so that I thought they covered the entire wool farm. But after a few days of experiments, it has been determined that it only covered half, and so only half of the wool colors were being generated.

    Thus, I need to move my "primary" afk spot in town. Since I need to move it, I figured I'd ask: Is there thing in town that would benefit from, or be broken by, long stretches of afk time? I'd like to keep the kelp farm, the colored wool farm, and probably comm. storage in my radius, but are there any other suggestions/things to avoid?

    I like the idea of auto-shulker-ing blocks. If you run a comparator out of each item's storage chest, you could theoretically, detect any item that's threatening to overflow it's storage chest, and drain one shulkers worth of items from it, and store it in another chest. Maybe put the chest underneath and have a redstone light come on when there's at least one shulker in the "deep storage chest?"

    I also was pondering the other day how auto-crafters could fit into a comm. storage design; I think we should compact all possible storage blocks and potentially smelt ores, so e.g. we don't need seperate chests for iron ore, iron nuggets, iron ingots, AND iron blocks.

    I think I'm going to tear down the super-safe bunker, and build a subterranean one to ensure no shulkers can teleport to the structure, and run hoppers and redstone down from the collection and ON/OFF respectively, so there's no reason that one ever needs to get close to the actual contraption.

    Good News/Bad News

    Good news: A new delivery of 35.4 stacks of shulker shells has been put into the end loot storage in town square! That's enough to make 1133 shulker boxes! (I filled the blue box, and left another half-full shulker of shells in there as well.)
    Bad news: the shulker farm seems to be broken, and no longer produces any shells. But, I might, at least, have an idea why it broke: While killing a stray shulker, the scaffolding to the collection area broke, and while rebuilding it, I think I left a single space in between the top scaffold and the cobble above it, allowing a space for shulkers to teleport to, and from there, elsewhere. (It's also possible that the super-safe bunker actually had some surfaces that they could teleport to)
    I do not know how this shulker farm actually is supposed to work, but I can say there are now many dozens of shulkers in the upper reaches of the contraption. Far too many for me to even come close to them, let alone clear them out. So, until we can figure out how to fix it (if it's fixable), or build a new one, that's all the shulker shells we're likely to get for a while....

    What, so you more easily spook me when I'm AFK!? Also, is there a setting for NEAR keyboard? I'm often folding laundry or working near my computer.
