In renovating the first lime line station, feel free to move the tracks around a bit. I have already moved a considerable amount of the tracks in this area around as needed.

Last night @j0hn1215 and I were talking, and something they shared was that keeping all the natural trees in an area can discourage building because they need to clear the area. I see some validity in this, as I chopped down the grove of trees across from the tree farm to plan the roads better, and I realized it was a really nice plot. I fenced it off as an alternative to lighting it and put some signs up for someone to build there. @GravySleeve saw the fenced off land and realized it would be great for a park and has been building one. So I feel that j0hn's thoughts on keeping all the trees may limit ideas of places to develop, so I will continue to explore fences as a way to use the land, rather than leaving it untouched.

the torch under moss is better than nothing I agree, but I remember reading one comment recently on how it creates a patchy looking area. So I have been wanting to explore different alternatives, even if that is just creating physical barriers between developed areas and unlit undeveloped areas that are spawning mobs.

I think the first server had fenced building plots

With the wither skeleton farm, they weren't that expensive. Within a couple of hours I had a stack of beacons and haven't used them all up yet. Although to go around the mall and have some spares for future expansion I will need to get some more soon

So I've started on the keel and hull slightly northwest of Shroomlandia and west of the Taylor Swift albums. It's going to be pretty dang large. I've been filling in the bow section, plan on working on the stern tomorrow.

A few screenshots of the progress and overhead on the BlueMap

I've run out of red concrete but have the concrete farm going so I just need to spend some AFK time there. Need lots more red and black concrete for sure.

The first part of the instructions are located in the overworld, you have to travel to the stronghold out near mintysaurus' place.

Thank you! One of these days I'll work on making it prettier rather than a bunch of floating blocks, but first priority is continuing the Titanic build. Making some good progress on it so far, but still a long way to go.

This thing. It is a wireless receiver that works based on item entity IDs. Item movement behavior depends on their entity ID, which in turn depends on the order in which they're created. By carefully timing the droppers, you can create items with a specific expected order. Elsewhere in the world, you can dispense an extra item to disrupt that order and detect it remotely. I did not build a transmitter, so that receiver should stay off, but something on Tildes server is disrupting the item order.

On the right side of the machine is a lever: flip that on. The redstone lamp to the left ought to remain off, indicating no disruptions to the item order. This worked in a locally-hosted Paper 1.21.1 server, but on Tildes 1.21.1 it would flash randomly indicating constant disruptions. It could be that Tildes was on an older patch of Paper - some early versions of Paper 1.21.1 broke this functionality - in which case the 1.21.4 update should have fixed the problem. But I suspect a plugin or datapack is the culprit, in which case the update won't fix anything.

There's also an issue that some items disappear from the machine which I never bothered debugging, so if you're inclined to test it yourself you might need to go through all the droppers in the contraption and make sure they all have some items inside. I think it's because the machine is not attached to any chunkloader so when I'd fly away items would despawn. I didn't worry about debugging it much because that contraption is really just to test that the functionality works at all, any proper build would use a more lag-friendly variant. But this temporary design is easier to troubleshoot.

Edit: I just logged on real quick to test it, it still seems broken. A shame. It might be that I built the contraption incorrectly so maybe I'll try running a different design or debugging it locally, but I really don't see any pattern in how it behaves... I guess we'll see but probably table the project.

oh no

No I just like how the perspective of the skewed top is odd when viewed from the ground lol. Maybe I need to focus on getting some more up and floating to avoid accidental resemblances.

I am also in distress because I don't know how to complete the bottom dark gray bit. I tried a couple designs and they ended up... phallic.

Edit: The strange effect is strongest down in the forest to the north east. Walking around near this piece of basalt there's this illusion where it's hard to tell any depth to it.

Thanks for the offer, but it is alright. I had no really unique items on me, so I am just going to make an adventure out of it ;) If I get my stuff back, great, if not I will have had a great time :P

Got most of my stuff back :) Though I was a bit too slow and saw some stuff despawn in front of my eyes. Which is a shame but not the biggest loss.

Also managed to pick up swift sneak twice which is nice :)

That could be a cool build behind the train station. I am honestly fine with somebody building anything behind.

Sounds like an interesting build to me. In my mind it needs to be something with brick but other than that I don't have a clear idea about it yet. So I am not claiming it as a steal (quite yet).

If we want to keep the area somewhat dark it could be a derelict train depot that was historically used. Basically this vibe is what I am picturing.

I am still not claiming it as a steal as I honestly don't know if I'll have the time in the coming period (quite busy at work and IRL with various things). I might at some point, but if someone else feels further inspired feel free!

I've slowly but surely been trying to build up the lower area.

As the appointed maintainer of the farm I'll have to ask you to take a look at it then ;)

Because it is still running out of bonemeal eventually, something it didn't do before. I made one adjustment today to see if that helped. Pointing one extra hopper to the composters feeding the dropper. It still eventually ran out of bonemeal.

Mind you, I made sure to top it off entirely manually.

I got curious in a way which caused me to break the farm again, although I immediately fixed it afterward. Specifically I wanted to validate an assumption I had from reading the circuity that I hadn't taken the trouble to prove, but still figured should happen based on what I could see of the logic.

If someone steps on the pressure plate for a bit, then off for a very short period of time (has to be under 60gt/3s, although I don't know the exact window), then back on there is a chance that the farm will start to produce cobble. This is fixable, but I'm not sure how much it really matters in practice to anyone.

For completeness because I said this is fixable I figure it would be good of me to list at least some potential fix. Admittedly there are a bunch of potential fixes, but the one I used in my own farm was to give the farm a startup delay of over 60gt. I did this by inverting the signal, running it through a comparator fader, and then inverting it again. The reason for the inversions was so that the fader was adding delay to turning on rather than delay to turning off. I could add this fix in if desired.

That could be it, but at the same time this specific farm has been running for many months without issue. Also, one side was still working so it running out of bonemeal entirely is a bit odd.

Regardless, even if this was a coincidence, my request is more broadly aimed.

It was long ago, but I do remember the creator of that farm mentioning in a post that the cobblestone issue was unlikely, but still possible with this farm. Its been an issue before.

I may have forgotten that using a fortune hoe does that. Regrets. At least I now have a lot of pale logs that I don't need...

Yep, verified again.

I installed the mod 2 days ago (at night), woke up to still having my screen turned on. Locked the screen manually.

Turned off minecraft yesterday night, did some other stuff, opened minecraft, locked the screen manually.

Woke up in the morning, intensively stared at zestier's villagers engaging in reproductory behaviour, went AFK again (without having minecraft in focus, as always), and I noticed hours later that my screen didn't lock.

Removed your mod and relogged, waited a few minutes, my screen locked while I was AFK.

So it's likely something mod-related for some reason... I'll investigate later. Will probably just write a shitty python script handling the :8080 port & also might try using other ports in your mod.

Weird anyway

That was brought up when building, but was vetoed do to being to dark in comparison to the quartz
