so, in an effort to seal of the fort, i stepped on one of the mines. i can tell you: they work!

i've put in one way doors and sealed everything off, we should have no more intruders... tell me if we still get raided, remember not to repair any blocks they destroy, as we can get them banned for griefing if they destroy blocks, but only if we dont repair.

also, we need to put up many more one way iron doors, to segment the fort, have multiple lines of defence. it will be hard to bring in new folks, but we wont get raided so easiely

EDIT: i've rerouted the power to the tree farm so that 3 times more power can get through.
however, there is a problem with the power link block, coz it just sucks all the power available, way more that the logger actually needs... we might wonna try with the foresty electric engines... but they take in 6 EU each, so this will be more than the 9 EU we are spending now anyways.
do we know any way to build in resistance, so it wont eat as much energy?
what would happen if we supplied it with tin clable? would they burn away, or would it only supply 5 EU?

EDIT 2: ok, i figured it out:
instead of connecting to the main power grid, we move the furnace cooking wood right under the treefarm, then we'll pipe half the coal to a generator powering the farm and furnace and the other half to the genrators in our power toom.
that way it should only keep half the coal for itself, instead of eating it all now. and this would minimize power loss.

and so, we got griefed... somebody named sugar something broke in and stole all the power stuff.

i got hold of an admin, and the guy got banned.

gonna get the stuff working again:(

EDIT: i got the power running again, machines are not done yet...

damn these last few days has been rough.

Sounds good, and unfortunately, there was only one mine. They are really easy to make, but that was the only shotshell I recovered. Just refill it with whatever ammo you have.

Apparently, Weaponmod allows dispensers to use its ammo. NOTE: I think only ammo WITHOUT a melee attack works. Knives/spears do NOT work, javelins and blunderbuss shot DO work (the mine was a single peice of blunderbuss shot), and I have read that musket balls work too. I don't know if poisoned blowdarts work, because we need a cactus farm to make them.

I recommend blunderbuss shot as our default ammo/mine, because although it doesn't seem suitable for attacking Quantumsuit guys like them, it is cheap (paper, gunpowder, gravel to make 8 shells) and powerful (especially at point-blank).

If splash potions of poison/fire damage/poisoned darts bypass quantumsuit shielding, I recommend using that in our base defences. Also, if there is any kind of EMP/energy drain attack, it would certainly help against them. At our current technology level, I recomend sniping them with muskets (or crossbows if we lack gunpowder but have feathers). Ammo takes iron, but apparently they do a lot of damage per hit from well out of nano-sabre range.

Any chance of us getting a brewing stand, or a cactus/reed farm, or a steady supply of creepers?
If we had lots of gunpowder, I would fill the armoury with shotguns (and maybe some muskets for heavily armoured foes).
If we had a brewing stand (and some gunpowder) I would try to find a harmful potion that we can make and turn it into grenades for dispensers/throwing. If we had cactus, we could make waterproof pipes and poisoned darts.

FakeEdit: I accidently forgot to post this before going to church, so it is a resopnse to ank's first post, not the second.

EDIT: so, are we turtling like on the last server? Because I make OK boobytraps (see: cheap claymore MK1)
 
Edit again: This is one reason why a reset wouldn't be as horrible as it seems at first-- no quantumsuited raiders.

[Karakzon]

just a question:

do you guys fancy making a floating island style turtle base or another moat and defenses one?

[Vattic]

All this talk of traps makes me want to join the new fort but I'm not at all familiar with the mods the server uses. I'd have to update my texture pack to support all the mods too, not that I'd get many complaints from those that use the pack.

[Matz05]

Or we could move everything to an undersea base -- IN THE NETHER!
 
We would lose access to water (and therefore most natural farming, machine-assisted farming could still go on...
We would gain obscurity (few people wander the Nether in search of prey), no visitors (allowing enthusiastic automated defences without colateral damage), and defence from attack (lava sea)
 
 
Naah, that sounds too hard...
 
More brainstorming?
 
EDIT: we could use regenerating walls, armoured tesla coils, etc. to fence in an area against even casual bombardment... and boobytrap decoy enterences within the walls...
 
Or we could live in the centre of a minefield...
 
Edit again:The Nether would give us free power though, as the lava sea would take ages to drain and a single Buildcraft pump, a Forestry electric engine, an IC geothermal generator, and a piece of wire would make a probably self-sustaining power generator. Attach to a storage system for reliability and pulsed output and we have a fairly cheap source of power.
 
Growing cactus would allow us to make waterproof pipes to relocate the pickup once local lava is depleted.

Whoops, I also got hold of an admin for it. Did you get replacements too? Sod gave me replacements for the griefed stuff and I already replaced the solar panels and the machines (macerator, extrators and compressor).

[Matz05]

Eastern_Zebra and hobnob11 attacked! They dug in through the mob drop while I was working on it and looted for a while! THey promised to be back! All hands on deck!

[Matz05]

THEY ARE BLOWING UP THE PLACE!

[Matz05]

THEY ARE STILL BLOWING THINGS UP!
 
EDIT: we are kinda being SACKED here! Little help!?
 
Quick: how do you kill someone in full Q-suit?

[The Merchant Of Menace]

You don't.

[Matz05]

they are emtying the chests and blasting whatever we block off!

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Take our valuables, go into the mines and hide.

[Vattic]

Didn't I read that block destruction on claimed land isn't possible or does TNT do the job happily?

[Matz05]

TNT works, we can't claim land.
 
They are gone, but the place is stripped and the dome is cracked
 
 
Guess who helped us? Bendicut! I guess it was a misunderstanding brought on by my trigger-happyness.
