Re: Map zooming?

Maps that are in item frames can be a little (a lot) funny when you exit and rejoin the game. Note that I've yet to devote any leather so far this playthrough to making item frames, and I'm still getting the same issue. Please note my exemplar videos at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/cydz4d97wjdos2f/AA...

Re: Map zooming?

PS -- I recall your aquaforming tutorial from back in the day. I haven't forgotten about my challenge to apply your techniques on a very large scale. Alas, my save from before became irretrievably corrupted right around the time that Timing Rodent went live, but I'm playing on the same seed and I've...

Re: Map zooming?

Otherwise, how do I work with map zoom levels? [snip] Also to be noted that it does not matter if you pre-populate a map before incrementing the zoom level of it. You can think of it that as soon as the map leaves the crafting table it is a 'new' map with no recorded information. This is unfortunat...

Map zooming?

Hi there. I'd originally posted another thread requesting a different kind of help, but some further experimentation made me realize that I was closer to what I needed to know that I'd thought. I'm in need of a fully-active village, as well as finding some desert / jungle temples. I have a full stac...

Re: [Timing rodent b] Revisiting beacon theory

Blight is a side effect of the sfs beacon only. The conversation regarding placenta blocks was humor and not in game content. Nonsense, Placenta is vital in the crafting of bootsies. And my explicit description of myself as autistic, somewhat gullible, and easily trolled is a good reason to unearth...

Re: [Timing rodent b] Revisiting beacon theory

As far as beacons go, the wiki is pretty accurate. I've only dabbled in beacons, but from what I've seen the info on the wiki is correct. AFAIK blight is really the only drawback you'll ever get from beacons, and that's pretty easily manageable if you know how to prepare. Does this mean that blight...

My gaming rig is borked and I am temporarily unable to play BTW. Instead, I am spelunking these forums and actually keeping a .txt log to myself of to-do lists when I return to my BTW glory.

Re: stair-block conversions

Wooden stair blocks at least, can be recycled into a siding and moulding by passing it over a saw. I am unsure about the stone stair blocks though. The implication being that, once saw-recycled into siding / moulding combo, those products can then potentially be recombined back into planks when pai...

Can confirm. Seed 5939968174303818863 has not one but at least two fully equipped witch huts within ~200 block radius of OS. First one ~145 blocks due east, second ~170 blocks compass bearing 195-ish (south by southwest). Seed generated in Timing rodent b at some point in December 2016 with vMC v1.5...

stair-block conversions

I know that most / all slab-blocks can be recombined into full-block versions. Does this also hold true for stair-block versions, at least with certain materials? Or siding versions (I'm pre-SFS so cannot experiment in survival)?
