Pump Towers
I just recently caved and finally built my first pump tower instead of just building underground. It's a pretty satisfying feeling to be done...now I just have to send the water to useful places...thought I would share though. So post up your water towers!

Re: Pump Towers
Wow man...that's gorgeous. Well done.
Up until this point, all the towers I've seen have focused almost exclusively on the practical, but that's a very aesthetically pleasing design you've created.

Re: Pump Towers
Thanks man. A lot of blood, sweat, and steak dinners went into this design. I can't stand having cobblestone buildings. If you ever make your way over to my base on your server, you'll see how OCD I get.

Oh, hang on a minute. I've never bothered with the server in the belief that it was anarchy - this is clearly not the case! I'm actually going to join it now, just to see your other buildings, that water tower is gorgeous!tom_savage wrote:Thanks man. A lot of blood, sweat, and steak dinners went into this design.

Re: Pump Towers
Another couple of screenshots from the High Stakes LP world, Traff's pumptower he had to design and build as punishment for his big booboo:
Don't mind the actual aquaduct leading from there, that severely needs a redesign.

Re: Pump Towers
The tower itself isn't very impressive, but i really like the aquaduct. it hides the mechanisms rather nicely.

Re: Pump Towers
Very nice!
Is that sandstone? I can't tell too well with the Texturepack...

Re: Pump Towers
I don't see anything that looks like sandstone. To me it looks like wood planks, jungle logs, glowstone, smooth stone, and stone bricks.wirer wrote:Is that sandstone? I can't tell too well with the Texturepack...

I believe the yellowish blocks in the "circles" are glowstone and the pillars are jungle logs.ThePuzzleMasher wrote: wirer might be referring to the yellowish bricks and pillars.

Re: Pump Towers
If you guys are asking about my pics then yeah, it's built using stone bricks and sandstone (blocks, stairs, pillars and sidings).
The texture pack I'm using is Derivation. This was acually pretty time consuming to build but also very rewarding and satisfying. HC Bucket is one of my favourite vMC behaviour changes that BTW introduces.

On the internet you can be whatever you want. It's surprising so many people choose to be stupid.

Re: Pump Towers
I just restarted for HCH and not quite up to pump stacks yet, all these threads showing off builds make me wish I was in the habit of taken screenshots.
Simple is sometimes visually appealing too. Like the touch of Lapis. (Love that Derivation pack)Foxy Boxes wrote:It's not beautiful, I know it's not beautiful, but it's mine - and purely survival at that.outsideShowinsideShow
