I think i remember finding some bauxite somewhere in my travels and quartz has always been plentiful, so i think i have all the materials for the refractory bricks

Goreld posted:Seems stable so far except that the worldgen seems to be changing some and being tweaked every version, so each time I’ve made a new world and seen some improvement. Still, for the last few versions I’ve had a suspiciously hard time finding copper surface deposits. Don’t know if that’s just bad luck on my part though. I've found three different spots on our map with nice surface deposits of copper. I haven't been back to check them out because I lost all those bits of copper when attacked by wolves. Then I was attacked by wolves again when I tried to retrieve the copper. Then I went back AGAIN and the wolves knocked me into a hole that was also full of wolves. I marked the spots on my map, though, and shared the coordinates with other people I'm playing with.

Is anyone running a dedicated server? We're pondering on whether to rent one again for a month or so or run a dedicated one but no idea how taxing it is for a laptop.

FYI, looks like max enclosed room size got changed at some point in the last couple years to be 15x15x15 internal. I'm assuming height has the same limits as length / width, only tested up to 3 tall internal volume. Learned 2 more things while testing this out: 1) maybe surprisingly, trapdoors in a vertical position still count for enclosure, so looks like they make good lowtech windows, just like in Minecraft. 2) thatch roofs seem to sometimes work sometimes not. Haven't nailed it down yet, but I recommend layering a solid block beneath them. metasynthetic fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Apr 20, 2023 |

Can you somehow edit multiplayer spawns so that everyone would not start at the same point and rather all over the world? Would save a bit of hassle to everyone just running some distance not to spend the same resources.

Not a mod but there's a world setting you can set that randomizes respawn location x blocks from world spawn, and it can go crazy big, so you just have everyone commit ritual suicide and then they're all spaced out nicely. This does have the issue of if someone dies before setting a spawnpoint, a non-trivial task, they can end up an hour or more of real-time distance away from their poo poo if you set it too high.

I am still growing my new home, but redwood takes ages to grow, so it's all a mess. Eventually the entire windmill is going to move to the tree tops, and the shaft will go downwards between two redwood trees into a tree house with all the machinery in it.

LLSix posted:[*]the room can be a maximum size of 14x14x14, or specifically, any point of the room needs to be 14 Manhattan distance away from the rooms walls Yeah this line on the wiki got me suspicious, because its contradictory in itself. I checked the edits and saw that someone only edited 7^3 to 14^3 without updating the rest. So I decided to test out various things for myself. I think I figured out the issue with thatch roofs: the *bottom* face (on a basic 1 sided sloped roof piece) does count for enclosure, but the vertical back side of the piece does not. Maybe because the vertical surface doesn't cover the full square meter on the side? At any rate, could be useful on some builds, it means the bottom-most layer of roof tiles doesn't need support below, just behind.

What I've seen in the server I'm in is that they use a teleporter block (different from a translocator, found in the creative mode menu) that's set to throw you to a random location, though I'm not sure how to program it for that. So you join the server, arrive at the world spawn, get your bearings, maybe get eaten by a wolf or two, then hop in the teleporter and start doing your thing.

Yeah, I noticed, but we simply could not get that one to work, no matter what we put there we kept spawning in the zero point. In the end we just agreed to each go our own way from the spawn (and each got a gear to set up a new spawn). Game is generally harder now because we activated soil making a landslide similar to sand as well. So no mud hovels (packed dirt is fine) or digging your way through some hills - which does suck since my location is mostly very hilly.

It was mostly due to us making a lot of QoL changes from our first run, such as turning off rifts and temporal storms (although this didn't stop drifters from spawning outside my wood hovel even with edited light level settings) and using some mods like animal cages and carry on. Got killed by so many times by a ram just trying to get it inside my pen... But yeah it was mostly to offset the game balance a bit since we made it more comfortable now.

Did animal cages work for you? I couldn't figure out how to trap animals with it and eventually gave up since my pit traps/barns caught the animals I needed eventually.

I haven't been able to use it yet, still in the phase of looking for surface copper... we put it back to rare after uncommon last time and we really feel it, it's REALLY slow to get the amount needed to make the pickaxe and hammer to go forward. Been all over looking for it but still missing some.

Panning sand/gravel is not too bad a way to get some copper, especially if you're stuck inside or near home for whatever reason.

Panning has the added bonus of the chance of getting you rusty or temporal gears. Bad enough luck with nuggets might still net you the gears to buy a pick from a trader.

It’s not enough to have a pick though, you need a hammer to crush the nuggets apart too.

That was my first world, rich with chunks, panning for enough nuggets to make my first hammer. It does seem quicker to pan than continue trawling for new surface deposits. I wish I could just drop the chunks off a mountain to break them.

In my new 1.18 world, I don't know if I just got lucky or what, but there is an absolutely enormous shitload of native copper surface deposits near my base. Like, dozens probably within a 500m radius. I got lucky with caves leading to coal and iron ore too, so I got my first iron tools online in early summer. Definitely faster than in my first world, which had very little surface copper nearby and it took me until the end of summer I think to get my first copper pick, mostly from panning.

I would love some kind of multiplayer experience but the idea I have in my head would have to be so carefully curated I might as well tell people how to play the game. (Or something where it’s just me and buds that only play all at the same times.)

I'm playing on a dedicated server with my regular gaming group, we love all kinds of (early access) survival crafting games. We want to be a bit separate from each other just to allow a good amount of resources for everyone but also that we can group up if we want to eventually fight some baddies in caves (or do the new lore world event, what ever that is??). Last time we had a sky bridge connecting some of our bases but now with sliding mud you can't cut through mountains anymore (and it was a hell of a lot of work lol) so we opted for a teleporting network mod, just gotta get gears to activate more waystations, to ease connecting to each other if we feel like it. I as a dumb didn't even think about starting a base near one such location like others, so I'm mostly cut off, so I might still opt for a sky bridge if you can still make floating speed path blocks (or packed dirt) to the nearest teleport. So that was a bit of blunder from me and I my location is surrounded by really annoying mountain ranges. And I only now found enough surface copper to make necessary hammer. But at least I found a cave filled with coal right next to my base, so I'm set on that front. TeaJay fucked around with this message at 07:36 on Apr 22, 2023 |

Anime Store Adventure posted:Wanted to share my first house (other than my initial 4x4 mudhut). I took extra care to make sure it fit the requirements as being "inside" for extra warmth, figuring I didn't need much more than that anyway. The interior is fairly spartan but just pleasant enough that I don't hate spending time in it! This house still looks very nice. Been trying something similar, what are the dimensions of the inside area? Also, what material did you use for the fireplace, it looks a lot more sleek than just cobblestone?

I don’t have the save anymore but I’m almost certain that it was just cobble. It may have been slate?

Looks like basalt cobblestone (plus slabs) to me. Slate's a kind of brownish-black that chiselers really like because its solid rock texture can pass for wrought iron, so it's great for decorations. Obsidian's a really intense dark purple-black (not even sure if it has a cobble version?) and shale's the lovely dark grey that everybody hates.

Thanks for the tips! I will probably build a bit larger but I liked the design since I want to keep it nice and compact. Will have to search for a nice dark material for the fireplace and figure out how to place slabs without them jutting out and connecting to square pieces properly (which is sometimes a real nightmare). Guess I could always chisel to balance it out. One thing I would like to try this time is to build the food cellar actually under the house to avoid running around for cooking and to make it ... "realistic" ? So I'm guessing it could work with door which opens up to a ladder downstairs, since actual stairs take up so much space. (although you said your house also has stairs downstairs) TeaJay fucked around with this message at 07:35 on Apr 23, 2023 |

A few pics of my original cabin during my first winter this run. Working on a bigger, better shelter just offscreen that isn't done yet. Playing with several mods that add things reasonably close to vanilla balance, like drying meat hooks and such.
