The server operates on a soft whitelist. Anyone can log in and walk around, but you need a Tildes account to gain build access.
I have now implemented what should be a proper fix for the server connection issues some players experienced. I set up a
haproxyEC2 instance that routes around the bad hops and acts as the MC endpoint. Hacky, but cheaper than other hosting options and better than hosting locally.I am not playing on this server as I am in one with some IRL friends on a measly Realms server, but I have to say, this server's been an inspiration. I check the thread every week to see what you guys come up with and sometimes build upon those ideas. @teaearlgraycold seems like a great admin, too. Have fun!
Feel free to also just hop on to get ideas by walking through the builds in person
Don't encourage him
:D
I haven't had much time to play this week. But I have started work on the last leg of the road towards the PVP arena. I still need to figure out how to connect the last bit.
I finished building the community stables right beside the transit hub. Feel free to claim a stall if you want. There is also the communal pasture outside, with horses to breed. I am hoping to get around to breeding some fast horses in there. My goal for this was to provide a convenient spot for your horse if you are leaving town by a metro line. I wanted to make it so that there are viable alternatives to get around town that isn't using an elytra.
The dynmap is currently down and has been for maybe 20 minutes. Not sure if something needs to be done to bring it back up.
Oh, thanks! Forgot to forward that through the proxy.
Edit: Well now I need to update my HTTPS termination. So consider dynmap down for the moment.
Less urgent, but I realized the same service is hosting the playtime tracker so that is also down
NOOOOO! How will I know how much time I've spent being unproductive IRL?
Fixed!
Computer is back up and running! Super glad to be playing again!
For those who like to use mods, I found another really amazing one called Bridgify Mod. It let's you place blocks like in bedrock edition, which means you can place blocks underneath the block you're standing on, or you can place blocks in front of you similar to how you can with scaffolding. Hard to explain with words, but makes building way easier!
I think that feature is available in Tweakeroo as I've seen SciCraft members use it, but never got around to doing so myself.
I don't remember who was asking about it the other day, but I built a decently sized kelp farm. It's a bit ugly at the moment (improvements welcome!) but it gets the job done pretty well. Coordinates are in the book
Well, here we go again. Computer is right back to giving me the same fan error I had before and overheating. I cannot catch a break.
Have you ever thought that maybe your computer's overheating because you spend most of your time INSIDE A VOLCANO!?
But in all seriousness, that blows hard, and I'm going to test a few old laptops I have around to see if one would be a real MVP (Minimum Viable Product) for you!
Ha! Funnily enough, that had crossed my mind. And thanks!
I agree with John and blame the volcano heat
Okay, I thought I bricked my old laptop but I have it back online. It's a little screwy (touchpad not always working) but it should work just fine otherwise.
When I re-assembled it I reapplied the thermal paste. But the only stuff I had on hand was liquid metal. I applied too much and it shorted out some stuff around the GPU :| But I cleaned that up and surprisingly it's not permanently fried!
So I'll ship that out in a few days.
Oh tea! You're my hero!
So I found out that my laptop has diagnostic tools if I hit Esc during startup. I ran a fan test and it said cpu fan 1 passed, but cpu fan 2 failed. There isn't a second cpu fan in the manual, but there is the gpu fan. So I swapped out the gpu fan as well (kit I bought came with both luckily), then I ran diagnostics again. This time cpu fan 1 failed when it got to the max fan speed part of the test, but cpu fan 2 passed. I watched the fans during the tests, and both seemed to be operating fine. I haven't had a chance to do a test running minecraft cause I had to leave for work, but when I booted into windows my cpu speed was back to normal again. So who knows what events will unfold in this chaos. I don't feel confident.
This video popped up in my YouTube feed today and I thought this might resonate with many of you. It definitely put words to why I love this silly block game so much.
I'm still having a blast building massive production facilities in Satisfactory, but I imagine I'll want to hop on Minecraft again very soon.
Oef, the one about having build and lived an entire lifetime in a couple of weeks really resonates with me. It is exactly how I experienced this server so far and past servers as well. The previous server I was a bit late so it felt a bit more detached, but the feeling was still there.
Thank you for sharing the video!
I just was recommended this the other day, and I, too, considered sharing it here. Great video that captures more of the simple core of what makes minecraft special!
@eyechoirs, I finished the road towards the arena. I was not quite sure on how I wanted to connect the last bit of road. So for now I settled on a big square. Feel free to rip some of it out though if you have other ideas :) I just wanted to have it at least connected.
