wouldn't i have bigger problems than trees not growing in that case? I'm using every block available in the mod without problem, except for the trees.

Nope, at one point i had treecapitator, but i tried a clean install since then and the only thing i have is BTW and modloader. I tried using different trees and moving it around but no luck. I even tried bloodwood in the nether.

i hit something similar where trees of all sorts refuse to grow in front of a block dispenser. I tried making just a stack of 4 dispensers with no other blocks around the tree and it still won't grow. I'm not even using other mods.

Prepare for trouble. he said the next thing is not a block. The guess about boats and mobs were wrong, soooo. My next guess is weather, or or or a new mode of transportation be it for the player or whatever. I personally hope for a hot air balloon since we have most every element needed. (cloth and ...

MAybe it's something to do with minecarts and boats; it we're talking about old systems, i would enjoy it if boats became actually important.

I'm doing my part trying to guess like an idiot, but i'll feel like i really am one (intentionally or not) if no one joins me.

If it's a new system then it may have more to do with light or sound. But you having never touched it suggests mobs and AI or the terrain generator. hmmm.... or rather i would like to say that, but the VMC team is playing with all that right now so you wouldn't touch it. Is it a new plant, or an old...

does it have to do with cold things? or item transportation, maybe a way to make water flow up!

i've been having problems getting trees to grow in front of the block dispenser :\ Is there any particular reason for this, because i know it's not a problem with space or light.

I know this was possible for a while, but now it's required that we have one of these, or spend forever making soul urns by hand... anyway; I've built a compact netherack grinder and soul urn machine all in one. Unfortunately there was no room to incorporate the pottery maker, so it's separate. The ...

you just liked the titty bar part of that video, didn't you.

so it is the stripper pole.

@origsgtpepper: it came from left field. I just don't like how notch nerfed the one true 'threat' that could come from the players carelessness. on topic: i think escalation would be a nice way to up the anti when it comes to existing mobs. Using their existing AI until layers kill x ammount, them m...

I think de-nerfing fire would be a great threat to people inexperienced with the game. If i set a friggin' forest on fire or a wooden house i expect the place to burn down, not 2 or three trees or leave me with a jigsaw of a shelter.

well, keep in mind: 1) YOU create this thing, however it gets worked in it's most likely an accident that it gets made. like blowing up a hopper or cauldron stewing pot. ultimately you choose when this happens and how and where. 2) it would be easy enough to fix early on. Even preemptive measures wo...

I think the idea of steve creating his own worst nightmare is a brilliant one. Maybe instead of the blood wood trees though it would have to be the next step, as trees planting themselves and spreading is OP. I think going back to the funi would be a good direction, poisoning water and destroying c...

but then once you've built your machines, what are you going to do? at that point you might as well be in creative. You play on survival for a reason. Been thinking some today and wanted to share an idea using the bloodwood trees / farming. Consider if the bloodwood trees needed to be fertilized, wi...

wouldn't crop diseases and pests fill that? maybe rats that steal food from chests or when a wheat field reaches a certain population a fungi may move in on it. I could also see an area with a large amount of player activity looking like a gold mine to pirates who are willing to blow everything to s...

I just think that any change to boat mechanics would be a huge improvement; i can't look around to see the sea side cliff without running into it. I can't get out of the boat without it running away. the boat doesn't like to turn while moving (not wrong, but it shouldn't be as bad as it is) etc. als...

replace the obsidian on the bottom with an anvil and that puts this at the top of the tech tree,

one other thing i noticed was that this was suggested before, although as a single block instead of a system.

What's a glitch based t flip flop ? i didn't mean that. I was actually referring to circuitry that relies on the subtleties of the game, and the semi-complex jargon used to represent certain circuits. Like using grass's growth as a light detector or torches 'burning out' for other things. although,...

I'be built a series of simple systems that are fairly cheap (excluding redstone) and simple in construction. No glitch based t flip-flop who'sinmawhat'sit. They are simple, effective and after i built them, i have no use for the product any more. :) I know these may not be all that original, but wha...

i thought you tried to stay away from this place. ;)

Personally, i try to stay away from the nether as much as possible; can't get around well enough to find a dungeon (for netherwart) , so i have no -other- reason to go. Although something tells me a few more updates and that may change.

This idea is basically a means of collecting gold nuggets from dirt (at extremely small amounts. 1/100 or less). With the ability to synthesize redstone from concentrated hellfire and gold, the need for gold has risen. Given that there may be less gold in the world than redstone, alternate forms of ...

Same here, if you Google my username the only things that will come up are places i've been or places where people talk about me. my username has also never been taken unless i've been to that site before.

actually, the water only has to touch the bottom of the wheel... one bucket of water on the left or right side of the thing should make it go, as long as the water flows along the entire bottom row of blocks.

I think i compacted and simplified your design. It also cooks all the pottery and pushes it all out; i used wool half and whole blocks instead of glass it uses: 9 hibachi 12 brick blocks. 2 block dispensers 24 redstone 3 repeaters 11 redstone torches 1 piston 1 bellows 2 turntables a small mess of m...
