Re: Kiln with 6 slots too easy

Whoa, it's like a pair of mini tube kilns!
..why is this in Off-Topic? This should go in the "Useful Builds" or "Show us your builds" threads.
Nice design, though.

Re: Upcoming design change: The Endermen are coming

I agree with Poppycocks, it's probably going to be subtle. Always-hostile Endermen are just teleporting zombies with bigger fists. Controlling their behavior would be interesting, but seeing as FC only said that they're angry at Steve now, I don't see that being it. Note that an Enderman farm is com...

Re: Avoiding the endermen signs around a SMP-Anarchy Base

I haven't tried Anarchy yet, though I keep meaning to find the time. That being said, it seems to me that endermen distorting the land around a player's base is just another thing to plan around. A good player will have a well-maintained base, and if that includes a little terraforming to keep the l...

Also, windmill and waterwheel items float, as do gearboxes and axles. Pumps, however, do not. I wou...

Re: Endermen Mythos

I think that was referring to when they got a damage buff, but lost the ability to pick up any block they chose. They were changed to only pick up "natural" blocks. The eerie art style fits them well. I've always been a bit creeped out by them, even when they're not actively attacking. I l...

Re: Fun with Pumps/designs

That's all right. It's not like I could copyright it or something ^_^ and besides, there are lots of historical incidents where two independent researchers came up with the same solution.

I like Darahalian's design too. very tidy powertrain. What are the dimensions, including gearboxes?

Re: Fun with Pumps/designs

Nice design. Looks similar to the one I posted in the "useful builds" thread yesterday, but I will say your pics may be a little better.
7x5 seems to be the smallest footprint for a stackable pump spiral, at least that I can think of.

Re: Sharing useful builds that get the job done

Huh, wish I had thought of a kiln like that before I built a full-auto. I bet you could use BDs and pistons to automate that one, though. Anyway, I have been experimenting with the screw pumps and came up with what I think is the (second) most compact plan for a stackable spiral unit. It has an inte...

That actually would look nice, if your house isn't wooden.
That kind of structure also makes a handy disposal unit for all unwanted items/mobs/players.
It's like a television almost. You could also put a saw underneath, for better viewing / easier drop collection.
