Love the dome guys.  Here's a thought, in the last screenshot by Meta, what if the Glowstones in that screenshot were light from the windows of homes?  So instead of homes hanging down, they'd be built with one wall (and window) as part of the dome, all overlooking the main hall.  You wouldn't need to even make real homes; just a pane of glass and light source to give the impression of homes.

We're probably going to need to make the mountain above us bigger in order to fit that dome in. We're not as far under as you may think, guys.

Last I heard, our ceiling is ~20-40 blocks underground. So the 50 block dome is a bit high.

Actually I was thinking of a somewhat flatter maybe 25 high dome, last time I checked it seemed like that would fit.
I like the dome but I'm not convinced about the corners, I like the idea if having housing behind the dome windows too, sorry my own prototype is a bit behind, the script I'm using for making the dome crapped out on me and I've been busy showing poke two around Titan/falling in the hole/respawning in carbon/ gangraped by spiders/respawning again/run home/etc.
Btw Rydenstrife is quitting and passing leadership over to llshadyguyll.

Yeah, the corners look bad. We should maybe make the corners of the main cavern more round, at least for the upper level.

Also, I'm gonna prepare another prototype in the coming days, with a smaller and flatter design.

make it circular aswell?


In other news, I will likley not be near the base for a long while, thanks to where I respawn everytime I die.
And the fact that the first time I died I would up 4x farther away than I started that life on...

The rail networks go everywhere, just respawn untill you're within 2k of a city which shouldn't take long, then ask somebody for a minecart, people are generally generous since with minecarts.

Is the server open? I'm up for a bit of wanton mass murder mining and exploration.

The server is always open. Apparently its raiding season, though, so be careful on the road.

I've just run the numbers, and I found a video that reflects them:

EDIT: I have an Eff4 D pick that's almost broken, anyone mind if I add it to the silk touch pick?

Go ahead, just keep in mind it'll add some levels to the repair cost.
I think ST, E4,U4 is Unrepairable, so E4,U3 might need sonething like 35 levels.

U4 doesn't exist. If it did, you wouldn't need to repair it.

ST/E4/U3 is repairable, but expensive.

An U4 pick would be amazing. Not as much as U10, but eh.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.
