A road has been built to Naru523's recent expansions in Yukiland. The old road to the automatic farm was improved and extended, and changed a bit near Spawntown.

Expedition 7:
9 diamond
174 lapis lazuli
50 gold

274 iron

61 moss stone (I found two dungeons, and only mined one of them)
3 COCOA BEANS!!!

Also, I made the first proposal in our voting center: Whether the leaves in inner Epicland should be replaced by glowstone! This could decrease the amount of creepers from that side, make our treefarm safe at night and make Epicland more... Epic. In that case, we have a fine project, especially since it has become much easier to get a lot of glowstone in 1.6.6, and then we also have a nice big goal/project. So I voted for the proposal. Idk when I'll close the poll yet.
I'll get some flowers and tall grass in there too using bonemeal soon.

Image 2: What should we build or extend in Spawntown now?

What's with your Texture Pack, Bla? It looks all... bad...

Bla · « **Reply #154 on:** June 03, 2011, 10:42:34 AM »

It's the default made as 32x32.

Also, since we've called special areas names, but not defined them yet, I decided to do that. I've almost defined Epicland and Kaktoland, and I've defined Inner Epicland as a municipality within Epicland, too. I've decided to use regions (yellow, large land areas) and municipalities (red, smaller areas within them).
They're saved as different layers in this GIMP file. It's too large, so I can't upload it here, though.

But please vote about the leaf replacement in Inner Epicland as soon as possible, I really want to replace those leaves with glowstone.

I'll just close the poll tomorrow at 18:00 UTC.

Edit: I added another floor to the sleeping center, a road between the Blue Bay Center and the road at Kaktolake, and I made Kaktoland Automatic Farm, an automatic cactus farm (image 2).

Omg I am staying up to look at the server.

Bla · « **Reply #156 on:** June 04, 2011, 02:06:24 AM »

Darvince: The server will probably be online between 15:00 and 22:00 UTC or something. I'm turning it online now for probably 2 hours, too.

Some of you mentioned you were lagging terribly. I'll try moving the server to my primary hard drive, it only has about 9GB left, but it should be much faster. Just come online if you want to test it. If it doesn't make any difference, I'll move it back.

Darvince · « **Reply #157 on:** June 04, 2011, 10:07:00 AM »

Wait, did I get unapproved or something?

Bla · « **Reply #158 on:** June 04, 2011, 10:07:10 AM »

Naru523 doesn't seem to lag. I also doubt it's because of the hard drive. But you can try now, it's online.

I can't ever get on.

And I got unwhitelisted from Darv's server...

Do I have to make the Satsun of Third New Auspikitan?

Bla · « **Reply #160 on:** June 04, 2011, 12:20:08 PM »

I have no idea why you can't join. :/

Btw, the poll closed. Replace with glowstone won with just one vote! It was close, though.
Doesn't this make Epicland just a little bit more deserving of its name?

Ow man, that looks awesome.

Nice job.

Thanks.

Nether to the back to get more some stoneglow!

This good enough?

2: Tree lanterns.

Bla · « **Reply #164 on:** June 04, 2011, 02:41:51 PM »

Looks like I had imagined. Very good. But do you want that island or not?

I think it's silly to have a border going through such a small island.

And kol at the lanterns. They don't look that terrible, though.

Darvince · « **Reply #165 on:** June 04, 2011, 02:56:24 PM »

Did my saplings grow in time?

Also inner Kaktoland is on the map now.

Bla · « **Reply #166 on:** June 04, 2011, 03:39:12 PM »

Darvince, I made a similar region (half the bridge, though) called Spawntown. But thanks.

Darvince · « **Reply #167 on:** June 05, 2011, 12:23:56 AM »

Creepy.

Bla · « **Reply #168 on:** June 05, 2011, 01:46:59 AM »

Are these borders ok, Naru523?
I'll go finish the underground rails to Yukitown.

Bla · « **Reply #169 on:** June 05, 2011, 04:13:30 AM »

Quontax has joined Owr Gweat Cawse! Awesomeness. Quontia will be south or southeast of Yukiland, depending on where Quontax wants to settle. Btw, we just need 12 more gold to finish the rails to Yukiland, everything else is in place!
The server is up for one hour from now. I'll check back then.

Edit: I had to crop the image.

Oh why yes i do.

Bla · « **Reply #173 on:** June 05, 2011, 08:18:33 AM »

Great.

Naru523 · « **Reply #174 on:** June 05, 2011, 10:01:44 AM »

It's good.

Bla · « **Reply #175 on:** June 05, 2011, 10:08:41 AM »

Good.

I have discussed hosting the world on a professional server with Quontex, since Quontex proposed splitting the cost. Anyone else who wants to join in paying for the server? The more we split the cost, the less everyone have to pay.
I'm not sure whether to do this or not yet, and I'm not sure which hosting service we should use in that case either. I think it might be hosted two months from some point in June, so we can play on it in the summer vacation.

In that case, it will be a whitelisted legit server, as it is now. Quontex proposed a 10 slot, but we've never played more than 3 at a time, so I think 6 or 8 would be fine. Maybe more would play on it when it's hosted professionally, and then NeutronStar can use it too.

Here's the hosting services' board on the Minecraft forum:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/forum/46-minecraft-server-hosting/

Which one looks best pr. unit of money? I think they look very expensive, but I don't want to pay for a server which isn't a considerable improvement for everybody else from hosting it on my own computer. Since they have a 5 day refund, we could try them and see if they're ok.

Requirements?
I think it should be based in Europe. Because Europe is awesome.

Ability to download the world whenever I want. So I can map it and take frequent backups, if the server doesn't do it itself.
Anything else?

Bla · « **Reply #179 on:** June 05, 2011, 11:13:23 AM »

Awesome.

You're welcome to play on Blacraft, and I can't imagine that anyone on this forum hates you.

Just tell me if you're applying to join the Hamachi network mentioned in the first post.
