Recently watched an episode of EC that covered Early access games. I think it explains the problem you're looking for.

I haven't seen the interior of the cow farm, but I think adding vine traps to convince the cows should help with the clogging. They don't care how much of a drop it is if they can't see it.

Taking a break from BTW. Just replaced my animals from a mystery spiritual invasion. Kinda burnt out in general right now. I might pop in every now and then to chat, but I'm not up to working on much atm.

Dogs are evil. I'm not raising anymore at Tobu.

Same here. Still wondering how large I can go without burning out though.

Good point about the transport. I just checked Hammersley, and you're right, there are no villagers there already. The next closest place would be yours, really. Do you happen to have all the colors? If you're close, I wouldn't mind transporting another villager or two over water, as long as they a...

I think your "near spawn" suggestion was good- were you thinking on Hammersley? I think if we decide not to do this, that's fine, but let's not give up yet! I suggested near spawn as it seemed to be the most central as it gets. Didn't really have Hammersly in mind when I suggested that. H...

As long as we are all throwing out suggestions as to where to put our minions.. ehem.. villagers. Might I recommend the Duron mountains? :) while out of the way for most, it would be good for the vanilla chunk economy to have visitors ;) 1) Equally inconvenient for everyone except you. 2) I still n...

I recommend the Aradgrad underground for a centralized Villager location. That place is large enough to fit tons and tons of villager meat! While tempting, I don't find Aradgrad as centralised as some of the other cities. The point of having a centralised Villager trading zone is to consolidate tra...

I'm not an admin, if that makes you feel better.

Not that I want to be an admin. Responsibility is hard.

I'd propose Agares Market at Pittsburgh, but it may be too secluded for some peoples' tastes. The plus side is that it has a direct TP to and from Spawn. Just checking, but green villagers are not a thing, right? I think I have all the Villager types there, save the generic greenies. The majority of...

No map reset. would be cool to have you back. Your enderfarm was broken for a short while after mobgriefing came on. fixed and working again. if you do come back, GO FINISH YOUR PROJECTS. Incomplete projects are sad.

NUUOOOOOOOOOO

sad. I thought Terrene would have been more or less aligned with your base (and the bridge) on the other end of the void ring.

Question: will this bridge reach Terrene?

If it does I will gasp,choke and exclaim the continuity this server has.

its fun when the old things become relevant again.

My preferred method for illuminating lakes and rivers is to tunnel under, pop in a bit of glass and then put the torch down behind it. There is a tradeoff in effort over glowstone but I like the effect of the end result a lot more interesting idea. Swapping the torch for a lantern might be slightly...

FYI: other endfarm has been upgraded. if you need more whitestone, I highly recommend camping there. Spawning speed may not be up to matching Donut's farm yet, but the speed is pretty fast and a heckload more convenient. Just sayin'. (shameless self-promotion) If you're still unsatisfied with the ou...

support for the 1.5.2 launcher has dropped. time to update or use 3rd party software. There's a guide to setting up in the tech help subforum.

highly unlikely that the reset will happen. Most of us like this world.

Multiple floors make sense given the number of silverfish you'll want, but how do they encourage them to breed multiple times? If you're dropping the silverfish down a floor each time they eat stone, how are you repopulating the upper floors? The topmost floor is bare and should be able to serve as...

Hmmm. Okay, so instead of a single floor of replacing stone, I'm looking at several floors to encourage silverfish to breed multiple times? Can silverfish enter stone blocks under a waterflow? I'm thinking of putting several more layers into the farm and turning it into a large flushing area to coll...

New question: hows does the silverfish spawning work? I've completed the silverfish farm, but I'm having difficulty getting the silverfish to spawn. is there a minimum distance I need to be from the spawn area? does the beacon simply enable silverfish to spawn in range or does it cause a silverfish ...

So I've decided to throw the productive proximity idea out. currently have a wood bridge 250 blocks out, no structure built on it yet. I did briefly consider trying to have minecart "launchers" to cross gaps and keep the farm isolated, but that one involved minecart "stacking" (i...

So I've been hoping to set up a silverfish farm on the server I play on, but I don't know much of the details to enderfish(not mites) beyond the fact that they need an obsidian beacon in the end and eat stone, stone brick and maybe cobble. Everything else I know is just rumors. Before I jump into th...

I think it looks fine. If you think it looks good, you should add it first and test the pack for a bit to figure out what works and what doesn't.

Quoted from the wiki "The structure is constructed with a minimum of 4 brick blocks, consisting of one air block enclosed on the bottom and at least 3 other sides (which includes top) by said brick blocks." so bottom and 3 sides are a valid setup for kilns. we're just used to the hoop/ring...

I don't like falling sick much either, but my recommendation is 1) A large cup/glass of water within arm's reach at any time. might also be good to prepare more than one. keep it/them topped up often and drink whenever you can. 2) A box of tissues. keep the nose as open as possible. blocked nostrils...

Sounds great man :) as I was saying last night, I can help fund cobble for the trap, and I have gold for a 3rd tier beacon you can borrow. I'm not sure if I have enough lapis for a decent beacon, but I can definitely send over what I have. with all that in mind, I'm still about 30 oby away from a 3...
