That "software is hard" is completely irrelevant. notch isn't the first person to release software patches. There are accepted practices for deploying releases. This is a problem space that has been solved over and over. Forcing untested (or barely tested) code on your entire user base is inexcusable.

I will be on in a little while. Need to start mining for what I need to start my project. Thinking I may need to make some sort of ugly to keep Creepers away from it, so there will be lots of fences to build. Thankfully, wood is easy to come by with leaf decay in place (seems like a 50% drop for saplings from decayed leaves as opposed to 10% for otherwise destroyed leaves).

I have a couple of projects to work on, so I'll see if I can logon later.
Theelmerguy: Do you have plans for the area under the steps you built? I was hoping to build an Obsidian factory somewhere around there as it's nice and close to lava from Mordor Springs and the water. Free for everyone to use, of course. If my next mining mission doesn't go as well as hoped I might need a diamond pick donation from someone..... |

I'm really hoping for another patch in the near future. Between chunk loading errors taking out huge swaths of the map and requiring a logout-login cycle to fix, and a lot more stuttering than the last version, I'm going crazy over here.
I'll be taking an enforced break from Minecraft over the next few days while I'm at home visiting family for Christmas, so I'll be back on either this weekend or early next week. |

Actually, it's more the Internet connection than anything. My folks have HughesNet satellite, and it's the only "broadband" option available where they live. >1 second ping times, weather-related interference, and a rolling 24-hour download cap of 400MB put the kibosh on doing pretty much anything meaningful on it.

So the mine shaft behind Bonn's residence was a success. At the bottom, as I expected, there is a nice pool of lava. I crossed one or two caves on the way down (also expected) that I sealed in behind cobblestones as I wasn't prepared to fend off any attacking monsters. For the record, it is difficult but not impossible to build a spiral staircase through all caves top to bottom if you carry enough gravel or sand to fill in the gaps where needed. Anyway, I only did it to get to a safe still quantity of lava -- it's there for the taking if anyone is interested. If you do take, just light up the darkness with torches and wipe your feet when you leave.

I built a big watchtower behind the bar which serves no purpose other than to be taller than Castle Bryson I guess it looks pretty cool, too.
Oh, I also built a tunnel system connecting the mine (the one I named "The Cave of Mystery"), the bar, the watchtower, and my new-and-improved cave house. I can extend it to the other houses in Bridgeport if you'd like. (Or do we already have a secret tunnel system?) I also built a big staircase mine in "the Cave of Mystery" whilst looking for diamond. (And to get the stone I needed for the watchtower.) It's straight back, on the right. Logic, logic, logic. Logic is the beginning of wisdom, Valeris, not the end.

Stupid fog. I can't see my house from the spawn point because I can't see my torches. And I can't make out my direction because the sun isn't showing up. Ugh. Is there any easier way to get one's bearing in this world?
edit: turns out my render distance was set to "tiny". I upped it to far and could see my house. But it took me too long to get back there and all my stuff had disappeared. I was all geared up to make a mineshaft when I got attacked so I was all loaded with good inventory. double If it's not red and showing substantial musculature, you're wearing it wrong.

Sounds like you ought to shack up on the AppleNova server, torifile! At least there you'd probably have someone else to lend a hand if you get lost or lose your stuff.

This game is addictive. I spent probably 3 hours playing yesterday and I woke up early this morning to get some time in before the kids woke up. I've got a problem. If it's not red and showing substantial musculature, you're wearing it wrong. |
