I was actually thinking about deleting some of the blocks that appear to have been explored but not actually built upon. That would bring us new resources without having to venture quite so far out. I would *only* be deleting chunks that appear to have no manmade structures in them.
Any objections? edit: Oh, I should mention that I've tested locally and the terrain regenerates just fine after deleting chunks. It would basically be reverting the terrain to an unexplored, unsaved state. The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

Yes. Server will be down for a while while I'm working on the map. Can't do it while you guys are making updates to it. I'm being careful about the changes, and it will take me a while, but I intend to finish tonight.

I have a skellie-trap all boxed in out West, but nothing in between. I've done some exploring pretty far North and NorthWest too, but haven't built anything other than hideouts to wait through the night.
Would the maps regenerate the same way or all new terrain? It'd be kind of fun to have all new terrain to explore. So it goes. |

Holy crap. That's a ton!
I think you may have killed my glassed-in spider spawner and my spawner to the West, but that's fine. It'll be fun finding them again (and collecting the loot again on the way ). Thanks for noticing my altars branching out from the temple. Those tunnels (and making all the smooth stone to line them) were a complete and utter bitch to build. EDIT: So I'm assuming any torches that may have been placed outside the new zone are gone, correct? Not a biggie, just wondering. Thanks for everything Brad. You really do go above and beyond. So it goes. |

They're not lost!! The whole world is procedurally generated based on the single, unchanging random seed that was generated and saved when the world was first generated when I first started the server a month ago; it's not random. Where a natural mountain was deleted, the same mountain will regenerate in the same place. Same goes for rivers, deserts, and tundra regions.

Just finished a (short) Skyway segment, passing through my cabin at Mob Hill and terminating at ground level just outside the Creepersville tree farm. After I build up my supply of wood planks, I'll probably start on another segment elsewhere. Anyone looking for a Skyway connection (or thinking about building somewhere, and would like a safe path to travel there)?

Nonetheless, I haven't seen any towers to signify it. I've occupied just a small island pretty much, with little plans for the surrounding area. If your tunnel is secure and convenient, may I use it out to travel west? I've been waiting for daytime just so I could make a run for it across coasts and through bays for minutes on end to reach my island. Quote:
Thanks. I was hoping all the desert around my castle island would be replaced with greener things, but alas, it isn't so. Oh well. (I'll need it for glass anyway.) This will make mining the new much easier. Even saw some new trees near my skyscraper! Last edited by arteggio : 2011-01-15 at 07:42. |

arteggio, do you know which of the chunks on the latter map is where you're building? I'm planning on starting a skyway West off of the lower skyway that leads to the temple (and also a little offshoot from the upper skyway down to the lower that makes it a bit easier to get down there). The area I was working on is in the furthest NW corner of the full overview map, but the new skyway will be fairly South of that area. Probably right between yours and mine.
So it goes. |

I think he was mistaken. I saw his little tunnel that peeks out behind Bridgeport to the northeast. It goes past your squarish skyscraper out there, not your distant western structures.

I can't spot your little chunk in the overview map though. There's so much out there and so little resolution to find it. Quote:

Really, my orientation is completely off in this game. Really. I never have figured it out for some reason.
So I don't know where my tunnel popped out now. I do know that it's not a small opening anymore. That's why I'm here for more sand. Is there a way I can see it on a map myself or do you have to do it Brad? BTW, thank you so much for updating the texture pack!

I'm building a skyway West off to the spawner, maybe you can hook in there to make the trek easier. It looks like it will come fairly close to your place now that I see it. So it goes. |

Well, now that I've gotten my visibility figured out I can actually see where I am on the map and know where I've popped out of ground.
