The new farm is looking real good, with automated harvesting!

The spawner could still do with some tinkering, i tried to add pistons to tenderrize the skeletons, but it didn't really make it better.

in any event, it's still much more efficient than the old one.

i am looking for a new project... i think the map will be next... that way we can get some exploring done too.

how big is the world? something like 20.000*20.000 blocks?
if we make the map in 1-200 scale, that means the whole map will take up 100*100... but only i the far future, chances are that it will be quite small for a long time.

then we'll do 1-500 which means 40*40 blocks... but the resolution might be too low.

Can the farms be stacked vertically?

Last night I added some more to the farms. We've now got melon, sugar cane, and cactus farms opposite the wheat fields. The melon farm has a button for harvesting but not the other two. I couldn't imagine us needing enough to make harvesting them a regular chore. I also made a start on the tree farm and any keep digging this would be nice.

This morning I modified the monster spawning room so that they never get stuck and added a piston door so that the fighting room doesn't fill when nobody is around.

Can the farms be stacked vertically?
As things stand we could add more floors but I don't see much need with them already being sizeable.

Does anyone know how long until the map reset or will it just come with the next major release of MC?

the map should be put on one of the lower levels at the end of a main hallway.

I am now probably the richest Dwarf in the fort, I sold a full inventory of cobble and bought a full inventory of glass, barely made a dent in my balance. I 'm going to sell cobble after I'm done with the roof.

i'll see if i can find a spot with 40*40 pots.

we could also start with a smaller map with higher resolution, depicting our immideate sorroundings.


but... we need cobble...

considering how much we can dig out, cobble isent that hard to get a large sum off. all else fails when were finished excuvating the fortress well make a cobblestone generator.
