Box canyons; OP starter area or fun GameMechanic exploiting?

Post by Rob »

I just today(finally) started the world I intend to stick with forever. I spawned in center of a biome cluster fuck. Extreme Hills is what I headed towards after getting the wood, and found that the mountain formed a small boxed area(6x4), with straight walls to the top 11 blocks up. I decided to take up residence, closing off my entry point, knowing full well that a mob won't jump down to harass me. Seems a little cheaty. But this is the first time World Gen was so kind to me. So might not even be worth looking into.

How is this better than finding a small natural cave?

You say that until you find your first silverfish, believe me they are not fun when you are in the stone age.
It's FC mod, he just lets us play it.

Since FC hasn't responded, it's probably safe to assume he doesn't think this is an issue. So let's stop bumping this thread, besides this subforum is not supposed to be a discussion amongst forum goers anyway.

@Flowerchild, if my assumption is correct, please lock the thread. Thanks. O:-)
