Mother of all necro's. Waiting and watching to actually get to see someone hit with FC's hammer live instead of as an instant replay.

Oh I don't have wheat yet but I imagine I'll have wheat (or another cultivated crop) before I get to soul urns so I'm setting a piston aside for that purpose eventually. The melon idea is interesting. I can think of lots of uses for it once I have hoppers but wanted to see if there were any great ea...

I had stopped playing BTW (and subsequently MC) because the mod had gotten a little more HC than I was liking at the time but I've come back and am really enjoying it again. I'm very slowly moving up the tech tree in SSP and I actually got Tom to hop back on the SMP server with me as well so I look ...

So I've recently started playing BTW again after taking a long break and the game has drastically changed since I last played. One of the big changes is the significant delay on being able to get pistons due to recipe changes. I have been pretty lucky and in my exploring have found 2 different jungl...

Wow a change to the tens place instead of the hundreds. This is a banner release indeed. :) Haven't had much time to play recently but the release still looks amazing. The idea of better picks being required the deeper you go is genius.

The other day just for fun I calculated out how much the enchanted golden apple (the one that uses gold blocks) would cost. It was in roughly the same neighborhood. 9 cubic meters of gold is more than enough to retire on.

The fermented spider eye recipe was not updated to use the new mushrooms. I have some of the old mushrooms laying around that I hadn't converted yet and they will still successfully craft the fermented spider eye but the new ones will not.

It could compliment the mechanic surrounding bonemeal. By your logic the night vision beacon destroys the interesting mechanic of the night vision potion and the true sight beacon destroys the interesting mechanic of the ender spectacles. Most beacons replace or complement another mechanic already i...

With the changes to the time it takes crops to grow in HC hunger it would seem like a reasonably powerful beacon effect to accelerate plant growth via a fertilizer beacon. With the dung beacon being pretty much a joke at the moment I think it would be an excellent in game use for it. (removing the p...

Actually got 2 eyes tonight just before logging off. We'll pop that sucker open in no time.

Yay. Much appreciated. Just out of curiosity it prompts to download a recommended texture pack now. What pack is it suggesting?

Still seems to not be working as of current.

Oh Crimson thank god. I went to log on and got the same thing and was like "WTF I didn't do anything bad!" So it does look like its a server issue. Or the two of us are in collusion on some conspiracy that we ourselves are unaware of.

I would like to request being added to the whitelist. IGN: RossWillden. Tom_Savage is a RL friend of mine and said he would vouch for me if that makes any difference. Sounds good to me :) Be careful though, now your actions will have an impact on both of you ;) Squee! Happy Dance. I do have one que...

I'm really excited to get to do more with the snow stuff in the future. Currently my world I'm playing on is in the desert. But amazing release all the same.

This seems like it would be easy to test... Install a minimap mod (for the sake of testing. Not for actual gameplay) and die a bunch of times. Each time you die set a waypoint. Rinse repeat until you're happy that you have a large enough data pool.

Yeah as long as they're collected it's not that hard to put them back in the top. Especially since with the BD you don't even need to make them into blocks again before reinserting them.

That looks really awesome man. My one question would be what happens to the extra clay balls that spin off while making the urn? I didn't see anything that took care of them and that's one of the big things that has been plaguing all of my attempts to design a auto potter/kiln.

Good changes. Always thought that being able to turn a gear sideways to stop a machine was a bit too gamey for your taste.

Thanks Tom. It means a lot to me to hear you say that. Especially given that you used your 200th post for it :)

I'm totally on board. I think it would be beneficial to show the vanilla approach and then different ways to accomplish it in BTW. There's a ton of BTW things that can be done late in the game but I think it would also be worthwhile to show "budget builds" or ways to accomplish the same go...

That indeed made me laugh out loud.

If you're using windows and have it set to create system restore points there is a way to roll back specific folders. You might lose a week of work but it's better than losing the entire world. Consult google. Many people don't realize that the system restore actually has that functionality.

I just wanted to say thanks for the responses. I look forward to seeing you all around.
