New weekly thread! Time for some screenshots! This time I didn't really take specific screenshots for this purpose, but I still made a few.
I also experimented with some shaders this week:
Geared up and ready to win!
That is one awesome looking team!
I love the high altitude ones, they remind me of satellite imagery. I can almost see my house from there.
I'll do a few more with that exact intend and see if I can get a bit more on there :)
I know you have distant horizons, but the fact you can see my tower from town is mind boggling
Oh yeah, viewing distance with DH is insane, a lot of details get lost things way in the distance and there some oddities with how light behaves. But overall I really do like it.
It does make the world feel a bit smaller, but also more cohesive and actually a world, as things are not just spots within mist.
That "Darkness" one looks wicked. The sun almost looks like a glowing pyramid.
Thanks again for posting these. I have been thoroughly sucked in to the 1.0 update of Satisfactory and expect I'll be doing that for a while, so I imagine I'll not be on the server as much. It's great to check the thread and see the happenings while I'm off building a mess of conveyor belts on an alien planet. :)
Just because I felt like it I enabled that specific shader and did a round of screenshots around your beach resort around sunset.
@GravySleeve, your volcano also contrasts really nicely in these screenshots!
Wow! The silhouette of my volcano looks frickin awesome! I don't trust my laptop to try running these shaders myself, but I might recommend people use them if they can when they visit!
Edit: Could you do me a favor and take some closeups of my volcano for people to see? I've taken a bunch of pics but forgot my login to tildes so I haven't been able to quickly post them. :D
Here you go, spooky volcano shots!
Sweet! The torchflowers really threw me for a second with those shaders. I thought someone spammed the area with horrible torches!
Boooh! Although I also did spent a lot of time in Satisfactory a while ago playing together with a few people, so I fully understand ;)
I believe that I used the Hysteria shaderpack for the dark screenshots. Mostly because I was curious about the looks. I was not disappointed, it truly changes the feeling of the game to something horror themed. Also makes it really difficult to play during night and other low light places.
There's a mod I tried called Euphoria Patches which tweaks a bunch of cool settings in complimentary. I highly recommend giving it a try if you haven't already. I was reminded because one of the presets has a "spooky" mode (can't remember the exact name in the settings) which is very terrifying.
EXTRA EXTRA! MONSTER IS APPROACHING TOWN, fun little add-on to complimentary. :D
Spooklementary, which is indeed quite spooky. Doesn't work properly with DH and water though :(
That's the one. I couldn't play with it too long. Too scary!
Did you try out the seasons setting? I thought that was really cool as well.
I did not, but I have some time before work, so I decided to check it out. I really like winter, although the other seasons also look very nice.
That looks pretty cool, I am going to have to check it out.
My computer is fixed and I am back on the server. It was cool flying around and seeing some of the new projects and also projects that have had a lot of progress recently. Now I am going to start making progress on the community stables
Yay for fixed computers!
Was it the MOBO?
Probably, I did replace a few components at once since I felt like getting a new motherboard for my aging cpu was not a smart idea and there was almost a 50%sale on a Ryzen 5 5500
Nice, welcome back!
As I am still waiting for my GPU to arrive (USPS being frustratingly slower than expected), I have been vicariously living through these updates and watching the dynamap. I have seen some cool builds pop up and some new names appear. I am excited to be able to finally explore these new builds soon. For the newer players, it is worth mentioning that you can have a marker placed on the dynamap where your base is. If I recall, @Noox left a book and quill at the town message board to put your name and coords down to be added if you want.
I haven't seen Noox online in a little while, I am pretty sure she mentioned everyone is able to add markers. So I might look into it later today to update some locations.
I collected some network analytics and sent them over to the server host to try and debug the occasional connection issues. I'm currently getting packet loss over my fiber connection, but not when using a VPN, which should indicate to them that they have some weird network config.
Update from the host:
Edit:
I saw the issue persist and pinged them again. If they can’t fix it I’ll finally move off.
Edit 2: They don’t seem to understand what’s going on. Time to move!
Yeah, that's what I have been leaning towards as well. Even suggested someone to try using a vpn to debug this a few days ago.
Oops, I caught up on my tildes messages and bumped the old thread. This is just a comment to bump the other one. Feel free to flag as noise.
Heh, I always forgot people have Tildes post show up in different ways.
If it's flagged as noise I think that prevents it from bumping
Yes, but you can't mark your own comments as noise.
@Mendanbar I have a plan for a couple of the billboards you put up. I'm gonna change one to warn of potential volcanic eruptions, and I think another will become an ad for the fireworks shop! Hoping to work on these soon as a quick side project!
Yay, great ideas! Glad they are being put to use :)
I only got one done tonight. Gonna start thinking of ideas for how the second will look.
Just an FYI for everyone, I've temporarily disabled the farms for the rocket shop since we have more than enough for the time being. If anyone notices it getting low again, please let me know and I'll get it going again. Thanks!
I saw that Bront made a statue, so I decided to do the same, but it is my skin.
https://i.jaoh.xyz/statue.png
I used https://axospyeyes.github.io/Skin2StatueLive/ and https://minecraftart.netlify.app/editor to make a schematic file, then used the Litematica mod to figure out what materials I needed, and where to place which block.
For those looking to do the same, since the schematic made is a flat representation of the statue you need to import the schematic into a creative world using the world edit mod, then you need to line up each piece with each other so it's 3d then make a schematic of it. The //copy and //paste commands are all you need to use to make it 3d, It's a bit finicky though.
Bad news for me. My laptop refuses to run properly anymore. It keeps giving me a fan error when I start it and it locks the cpu at .39GHz. Its slow as mud. I dunno when or if I'll get to play again and I'm really upset about it.
I might be able to give you my old laptop. I partially disassembled it for parts but could throw it back together. It’s not super powerful but has a 1650 Ti in it. Plenty for Minecraft.
Really!? That'd be incredible! I'm gonna try to fix this one first, but I'll definitely accept if I can't get it going again. I found the user manual for mine, and I'm gonna try replacing the cpu fan. I already tried updating the BIOS, but it seems all that did was remove the error message I was getting about the fan. I can't get it to unthrottle the cpu again by restarting like I was able to before. I'm gonna order the part now and I'll post again after I've swapped it out! Thanks a bunch tea!! Best server admin ever!!!
Edit: I should know by Sunday afternoon if this will fix it. fingers crossed
I was about to donate it to a local hackerspace. But it’d be cannibalized for sure. I think it’s got more utility as a whole.
I think I've identified the problem.
Are you back in business?
I hesitate to say yes for certain yet just because of how bad my luck is generally, but yeah, I think so. I literally just turned it back on and my cpu speed is back to normal.
Edit: Gotta stress the system, better hop on minecraft. :D
Yeah, I knew better than to get too excited. Started overheating almost immediately. Guess I'll open it up again and see about new thermal paste. If that doesn't fix it, then nothing will.
Edit: I'll tackle that tomorrow.
Edit 2: So I thought I had some spare thermal paste laying around somewhere, but it seems I do not. Amazon says they'll have it to me by this afternoon. We'll see.
Edit 3: Thermal paste has arrived. Updates soon.
Edit 4: Thermal paste applied, still immediately jumped to 90c on login. Seems the new fan isn't spinning. Gonna try unplugging it and plugging it back in.
Dunno if you saw my edits, but I think I'm actually back in business now! I reset the cable for the fan and confirmed it does spin now. At first it seemed like it was overheating again, but just as I shut it down the temp seemed to start dropping. So I started it up again and saw the temps go up a little and then drop back down to normal levels (<60c). I'm assuming the thermal paste must have needed to warm up and spread out a little. Do you mind holding onto that spare laptop just another week while I truly test this? I do not trust my luck to hold out tbh, even though it should be totally good now.
See everyone online again soon! :D
No problem
Nice new statue from @Bront overseeing spawn
Oh that is pretty indeed!
It felt like a great place to put it. Design is by Jeracraft with some slight modifications.
So I have started laying out the rough stalls for the community stables. With the current size, there is 11 stalls. I am thinking each person could claim their own stall once it is done. How many people are wanting to have a stall for a horse? If there is a decent amount of interest, I may expand the stable before finishing it
I'll have one! I was gonna make my own solo stable near my house, but since I've moved on to the volcano project, I haven't done anything else with my starter house. I should really decorate the front area more at the very least.
I'm hoping there's gonna be a cpu fan waiting for me at home after work, I might be able to play again tonight if I find time to swap it out before tomorrow.
I would potentially still recommend a solo stable. The goal for the community stables is it is so that you can have a horse nearby for when you take the metro out of town. Then, once you get to town if your area is not serviced well by the red line, you can use your horse to get around town.
@GravySleeve forgot to ping you yesterday. But somehow I ended up breaking one of the armor stands next to the fireworks shop by just standing next to it while being AFK.
I think it got smashed by the snow golem throwing a curveball to me. I left the parts that ended up in my inventory in a shulker box next to it.
No worries! I found and fixed it already!
Not quite sure what was causing it, but it created a really cool effect.
I'm at least 50% sure that's some kind of biblical apocalypse going on there
Yeah, looks like the pirate ship crew has angered the wrong deity this time. Or they might just be part of whatever more is coming over the horizon....
Did you rage and punch your screen after a surprise creeper explosion?
