Have you considered adding Cart Mod? Assuming it updates ofc.

It's nice for transporting goods around between bases, and a serious lifesaver for making a farm, because you don't need to painfully lead animals to the pen with wheat.

It is on my watchlist actually, and if it does update I will certainly be adding it.

[The Darkling Wolf]

I suggest pairing it with the turret mod.

Because walking around with a turret in a cart dealing death to everything that comes near you is far more fun than it should be.

I wonder, how would making multiple cities work just for the hell of it?

I don't mean each of us "living" in a different city. Already the Sands Town or something has an example of "planned housing" that is a bit heavy handed, granted. Now the Sky City is being chaotic on purpose, and I can dig that... after all, I made a multiple-chunk "mansion" that's still not finished... I had to claim the land space quickly because people were quickly encroaching in my planned building area tho, luckily I managed to do it.

So, we could have another city close to Sandy Sand, connect them with an elevated train or something fun like that. And in general, never stop expanding into "new" cities, a healthy distance apart from each other obviously.

I was actually having some fun with the bees, but for some reason a chunk in my "ranch" rolled back and the other didn't. The chunk where I took the bees from, including some rare ones, didn't reset and was left devoid of bees, while the other chunk did reset and was left empty also.

So I gave up on that for now

I'm sorry to hear that. The only consolation I can offer is that when RP2 updates I'll be putting in the newest version of Extrabees which promises to be much more stable. In fact the server overall should be far more stable in SMP.

The most annoying part of beekeeping is that there's no way to breed more Queens. You HAVE to keep finding hives and breaking them. So you end up hunting for all the Meadows or other cheap hives you can find and try to turn their queens into some species that you already have drones of, by repeatedly mating them. Plus all the crap bees you end up throwing into your garbage disposal

Hopefully this is all solved with the Extrabees machines (you can recycle bees in those, and I assume you can make new bees or "change" existing ones, but I don't know if you can get Queens from other types... I should experiment a bit probably).

[Girlinhat]

The Extrabees thingers don't generate new bees.  Instead you can use bees to make a "blueprint" and then make any living bee into that blueeprint.  For instance, toss 20 water drones into the machine, get 1x water blueproint.  Toss a meadows queen in and convert it to a water queen.

It's Unlocks no new abilities, it's just easier than repeatedly throwing drones at a queen until she converts.  It also makes it easier to breed ones like Rocky, which give 1 drone per generation.  Fine like 20 hives, throw all the drones in, get a rocky blueprint, and you're set!

[Sergius]

Ok so basically it turns drones into other drones, and queens into other queens?

Oh well... guess it's important to be careful with losing queens. That was my main issue with that rollback, most of my queens, that I went thru great pains to breed into better ones (getting more drones per breeding, for example) were gone

[Girlinhat]

Yep, just converts to what you already have.  Nothing new is generated.

If we could like have a space realm i would be happy.
I wanted to return to this server so i could build my space station. When i have done the mandatory task of setting up my own quarry. Or if anybody would be so kind to lend me theirs?

[miauw62]

I think alway wont mind if you use his frame quarry.
There should be a linking book to the frame quarry in the ocean world.
The stuff is sorted at the age of exploitation base that should also be linkbooked at the ocean world.
If you're lucky, it even has some timers left on it.

FAKEEDIT:
Oh, i remember, the linkbooks are not in the base the portal goes to, they are on alway's mobile base. It should still be parked in skycity.

[Sergius]

I think force fields are nearly mandatory if you want to construct in Space or a sky land, unless you want to constantly fall to your death and have all your inventory despawned...

[forsaken1111]

So it has been determined through experimentation that raising the sea level and ground breaks pretty much the entire game. If anyone knows a way to do it, please let me know because... well..

I see no problems there.

In other news, would anyone be willing to make me some art assets? I'll need textures for things like fungus wood, crops, etc

[The Darkling Wolf]

I suggest asking Vattic if he's around. He's got himself one of them thar fancy texture pack dealies.

He does do some sexy textures. I'll PM him.

[forsaken1111]

wait, you trying to do that DF mod thingy?

..yes? I did say I was doing it didn't I? Its just taken a while to get people interested.
