Sorry for yet another long post >.< Some people saw what I was working on prior to the reset, others have not. What I am trying to build I have attempted to build several times before(on several diff servers), but I have never been able to complete it for one reason or another. I am looking for a few people/groups to help, explanation below. My plan is to build a large mushroom (Of the variety Amanita Muscaria, var. Muscaria(Commonly cited (erroneously) as the inspiration of the Mario mushroom)) Here is an image (from the underside) of my most complete version of the mother shroom: I have built and re built this thing several times in varying scales (never to completion) and each time I have learned more about how I should build it. The version above was way too large, you had to stand in the exact center of it to render the whole thing (the hanging platforms are hiding the unrendered parts in the picture above) My current plan is to scale it back a little. The cap of the mushroom will be 5x5 chunks (In case chunk loaders ever come back, also for rendering purposes) Hopefully there will be a thaumcraft altar at the base, making it seem as though the mushroom spawned from some demonic process, with the possibility of growing out of a 2:1 scale Colosseum (I am rather adept at building the Colosseum to scale in minecraft.) There will be at least eight hanging platforms, if not more, to build upon. Not to mention tons of room in/on top of the cap for builds (Literally enough room for a town on top alone). The reason I am making this post is that I am great at getting the base structure done (with worldedit at least, getting resources is doable but tough on SKCraft) but I always fail to finish it. The picture above is the most complete example I have. I am looking for 1-3 players (Or very cohesive groups) to help with, and occupy the build. If I can gather 3 players (or cohesive groups) the cap will be split into quadrants for each player/group. Just above the gills will be a pooled engineering level for power gen (Muahahah, don't you worry bout power, I gotcha covered =P) and resource storage (each player/group will have their own, plus a pooled resource center for contributing towards the general build, and yet another pool you can send items you do not care about to be donated for community use) I am a little trepidatious about this, as I have had bad experiences with base mates before. That is why I would like a separate AE system for each player/group, plus one for the build, and yet another for community support. That way we will not have anything to get angry about with each other, and we can all contribute as we see fit, without being harped upon for using too much, or contributing too little. Except for the coarse design of the cap/stalk/veil and hanging platforms, players/groups will have complete creative control over their quadrant inside/under the cap, most likely what goes on top of the mother shroom will be a community project/market. You may have noted my use of the statement "Mother shroom". In my original (and still continuing) plan, the mother shroom was just the central focus point, and there would be many smaller mushrooms around it containing people's homes, spreading out as far as MC will render. On this server I do not know if that is exactly possible, but on the way to completion I may open up to the possibility of trusted players making smaller shrooms around the area for their bases, but we will have to see how it goes. If you, or your group, is interested you can contact me in game, send a PM on the forums, or just reply below.
This seems an awesome project! I wouldn't mind helping out. I haven't been on the server recently but if you want me on the build I'll come on.
Is this still a thing? If you need a reason to recruit me, I was part of the (asian world) 1.5 spawn build team
lol, yes, it is still a thing, getting ready to start on supply gathering, need about 20k smooth stone, 8k glowstone, and 20-30k red wool...
i would help with the materials, since my own project is somewhat stuck at the moment. i might leave it though, once i can finally proceed with my own one
yeah u should have an enhanced portals 2 portal there with a list of supplies and a way to donate them and ill probably donate some
I still have not found the final location for the build. When I do I am going to hollow out the ground under they area to clear an area for staging, without being unsightly above ground. I will place a portal there and start organizing soon. I am looking for either a mushroom island, or an island I can use a rotarycraft terraformer to turn into a mushroom island. If I cannot find an ideal location soon, I will start the build in the enchanted forest where I live. It comes in a close second for ambiance for such a build.
We need, like, a list of all the people you plan to accept. Edit: I can probably supply you the smoothstone.
Ok, I just moved *most* of my base in to the staging area for shroomtown, mainly at the moment concentrating on getting rotarycraft up and running, and getting pam's harvestcraft set up for a steady supply of bacon cheeseburgers. Rotarycraft is going to take some work getting back up and running with the changes to magnetostatic engines, my entire base relied on them and I gave away all my other RC power production. So right now I am concentrating on getting the upgrades produced to get the ore processing back online. Once it is back online it will be a central community accessible resource. If you want to come visit or help there is a portal there, the code is cake cake cake. I will provide a list below of the current goals. If anyone else has one of my mining setups, or any CC system that uses the Peripheral glasses, I am setting aside a chunk to place theses in. If you like you can place your system in the same chunk, under one condition. Every person that has a system there needs to place a spot loader. The reason for this is due to the fact that chunk loaders stop working as soon as you log off, or more worryingly, crash. Computercraft now will not start the computer until a right click from a player. So going off mining and getting kicked due to a certain TC bug, or even being off a second means you must return to your base to reset the system. If we pool our systems in one chunk, and everyone places a spot loader in said chunk, then during the brief interruption cause by kicks/crashes from bugs, our collective CC inventory management systems will stay connected and not need to be manually reset, there for providing us with more productive mining excursions. To get started on the main build I will soon build a central AE system to store the supplies. This is what we will need: ~20k red wool (I will be making a wool farm in the staging area, but at only 8 mobs a chunk it will be slow going) ~2k white wool ~10k stone (easily gotten, don't need to worry about that) ~2k bone meal (Stone and bone meal may change, the look of whitestone does not seem to be what it was before) UNK amount of glowstone, but that is easily gotten as well with the new TE mechanics, but we will need a lot! Glass.
