So I have made good progress on Community Storage V2. The input system is complete and so is the chunk loaders. The main tasks that are left is connecting the chunk loaders to turn on when the system is processing, setting filters, and priming the system with shulkers. I have setup a VM on my homelab server for afk use, so that is currently running to get the minimum of five shulkers of shulker shells. After that, I will also need to gather up at least five shulkers full of logs (not bamboo logs). Then, with a simple shulker autocrafting setup the system can be primed. I am hoping to get this running by Friday hopefully, since V1 is starting to overfill on some items.

Is it possible to get an "Old Thread" link in these threads? It'd make finding then easier.

Screenshots

I didn't take that many new screenshots this week.

• I did build the chick-o-matic 2000
• Community storage by Isil is giving factorio vibes
• I redecorated the basement
• Documented an alien invasion
• Spotted the eye of Sauron
• Bought a ticket for a train ride

Other stuff

I saw we have a lot of sad lonely dried up ghasts in the barter farm. So I have (poorly) hidden a bunch of them over town for people to find and hopefully raise.

The "Tildestown Railroad Enthusiasts Headquarters" is now open for business on the first floor of the Vandelay Condos! If you're interested at all in trying out the faster rails new to this season, swing by and grab some supplies! We've got it all -- Rails, powered rails, carts, bamboo blocks, redstone, and most importantly a train emoji on our sign!

(I donated some rail supplies to @creesch, who then donated even more back to me later. I'm taking what's leftover and donating it to the people because we're communists)

Bluemap stuff

Rail lines

I have added transport lines to Bluemap including stations along the routes.

Last season we had this layer hidden by default, but people couldn't find it. If it annoys you, you can toggle it off through the menu in the top left.

Nether roof

We now have a seperate map for the roof

Adding markers.

If you want stuff added to bluemap. Reply to this comment with the X Y Z coordinates. You can get the coordinates very easily from bluemap itself click on the exact block, then click on the popup to copy the coordinate.

I'll add the following things: Player homes, Farms, Factories, Portals, Train routes and stops, Canals, Potential other important community landmarks

I've added a (slow, inefficient) squid ink farm (17 66 -133) - it's good enough for when the resident pickle afks in the industrial district to stack up over several days, but it's immensely slow because I didn't want to ruin the river. If we at some point need a better, faster farm, it'll have to be away from the scenic views of the industrial district. I mostly just wanted some black glass, and detoured to build a farm while I was bumbling around. It's far slower than just killing squids with looting 3, but there's like a full chest of ink in there now so it's something!

I also added a water feature to the hospital and an infirmary on the second floor in case you need to rest your tired bones :)

I am slowly, VERY SLOWLY, demolishing a (out of the way) trial chamber. I currently have more than a shulker of copper, and a shulker filled with fringe copper stuff. I need quite a bit of it, but I'm happy to share a couple stacks of copper if anyone needs! I'm enjoying the trial chamber destruction so will be continuing happily.

In an effort to make it easier to fully enchant items, I've been "going through" a LOT of villagers (i.e. armorers, fletchers, toolsmiths, and weaponsmiths).

I think our current set is good enough (only max-level enchants listed):
Armorer - boots unbreaking III, feather falling IV
Armorer - boots projectile protection IV
Armorer - helm unbreaking III, projectile protection IV
Armorer - helm aqua affinity
Armorer - leggings unbreaking III
Fletcher - bow infinity
Fletcher - bow unbreaking III
Toolsmith - shovel unbreaking III and silk touch
Toolsmith - pickaxe unbreaking III
Toolsmith - axe unbreaking III
Weaponsmith - axe unbreaking III and silk touch
Weaponsmith - axe unbreaking III
Weaponsmith - sword sweeping edge III

@creesch - you have a bunch of Weaponsmith heads in your mailbox. It seemed the right place to put them. <3

New thread, new progress update.

I worked on two main builds over the past week.

The first was the result of a discovery Eth made one day: a mole had made its way into our cave. Maybe it wasn't a mole, maybe just a @hamstergeddon. Unfortunately, the level they were digging their rail tunnel at intersected our cave and would have gone straight through our iron farm. So, after some consultation with Eth, I built an underwater glass tunnel in a similar style to the road tunnel higher up in the base and dug a connection down to it. I dont have my own screenshots, so I'll use Creesch's instead.

The second is the Spruce Community Portal's portal in the Nether. I asked @ColdheartsTalon if they were accepting trees built by others, and they said yes, so I designed and built a tree. I'm quite happy with how this turned out, being my first serious attempt at a custom tree. The hanging lamps are to mirror the ones on the overworld side of the portal, as well as to light it up so you can actually see the branches more clearly.

The saga of the wind charge player launcher has probably come to its end. After some more experimentation with @teaearlgraycold we still haven't been able to get a long-distance launch at a speed that gets from home to Poland at any reasonable pace. That was sort of my original hope, that I could zoop over at pretty much any time, probably breaking Poland's airspace laws in doing so.

Other than that, there's been a lot of small bits of work. I think my major rush at the start is over, and I'm going to have to settle into a slower rhythm otherwise I will burn out.

I've started work on the local metro line I was talking about in previous threads. I plan on making it go from the Industrial District to the north side of TildeTown and eventually connect with the town hub. My main motivation for it is mainly just to bring more eyes on the little cable car project I made as I kinda built it far away from everything else. If you've spotted a big mess of scaffolding west of the Industrial District, that's me! I plan on keeping the rail line directly under our roads with minimal intrusion on the land plots.

I haven't made much progress on it yet though so if anyone has any objections, I'm more than happy to stop and revert the landscape haha.

You might need to click "Update Map" for now... But I'm finally planning out builds!!
