smjjames, i'm sure a glass tunnel running through a ravine would be quite a sight to see on a minecart, would be very interesting and not too hard to make (compared to underwater)

There is one already in Revolutea, it's just after you exit the water tunnel.

Oh, I'll check it out sometime.

The links aren't working in there, invalid thumbail parameters.

Click "Full resolution".

I updated the world map, added Kaeshar to it.
I had to make it .jpg, otherwise the file would be too big for Wikia. :/

What happened? And yea I understand that the map file is huge.

Anyways, central and eastern Solea and Rift Auspikitan is ruggedly mountaneous, the mountain range just to the west of me isn't as rugged as I thought, but it looks like I've got a few nice high plateus.

The map file is borderline 10 MB, the size limit. A height map has more variation and tipped over to 10+ mb so bla cropped out the black to fix it.

A brewing stand just requires three cobblestone, just grab a few out of the public storage. Not sure how rare the blaze rods are though.

Honestly though, you don't need to make a poll for that and the text for the poll goes on the other side of the room.

I mean what happened with the updated map.

blotz · « **Reply #2949 on:** March 04, 2012, 02:27:55 PM »

The cobblestone and the blaze rod are different matters, but I put then in one poll. Im running out of cobble.

smjjames · « **Reply #2950 on:** March 04, 2012, 02:32:27 PM »

Theres no need to ask for the cobblestone, just get some from the public storage, lots of it there. Heck, I've got a large chest full of cobblestone.

Unless you've depleted the cobblestone in public storage?

For large projects, members of the UBSR may set up polls to vote for resources. If the vote is yes, then all member states donate resources for the project.

blotz · « **Reply #2952 on:** March 04, 2012, 02:43:57 PM »

The project is my road. (ill draw it on the world map later)

He didn't say anything about a large project and it sounded like he just wanted one inventory full of cobble, not multiple. It's just the way it was worded and I'm fine with supplying an inventory full of cobblestone. Won't be able to supply the blaze rods though.

you're not a member of the UBSR? are you?

Not officially I don't think.

only ubsr members may use materials from the spawntown collective storage after an approved poll. spawntown public storage is open to all who are part of another treaty? i think? that everyone has open public storages. blacommunism.

smjjames · « **Reply #2958 on:** March 04, 2012, 03:23:42 PM »

I've been using it from the start, so maybe I've been in it from the start?

inb4 stealing

smjjames · « **Reply #2960 on:** March 04, 2012, 03:28:44 PM »

Yes I've been using the ore and grabbing the food, but thats because I wasn't self sufficient as far as that goes and the only large amount of materials that was used was about half an inventory full of cobblestone for the road.

However, I've also GIVEN alot, cobblestone, dirt, various other stuff.

Inb4 jealous bong

No, the world map with the borders and regions and stuff is just above 10 MB, and I can't get it below 10 MB as a png file, so I can't put it in the same link as the normal world map.

Smjjames is a part of UBSR. Only members of UBSR and Deoxy are allowed to interfere with our public and collective storages.

Bong, you can take the blaze rod and the cobble. You only need polls for large amounts of items from the collective storage (gold, diamond, iron, coal, wood, ~~blapis~~ etc.). But yes, asking before taking rare items from the public storage is also a good idea.

smjjames · « **Reply #2964 on:** March 05, 2012, 10:19:00 AM »

Basically everybody who still plays, except Quontex maybe who seems to have dissapeared again.

Will you be able to get the updated map up?

Bla · « **Reply #2965 on:** March 05, 2012, 10:45:14 AM »

I updated the world map now. I've cropped out some of the outer parts though.

I tested saving it as jpg, but the result looked horrible. The borders were blurry and the text was very blurry, even on 100% quality, where the file size was 14 MB. I tried tiff, which gave me about 110 MB. So...

I guess I'll just crop the outer parts of it to discipline and discourage you you from stretching my skirt so much.

Sorry for being such an explorer

Anyways, .jpgs also take a long while to load.

Still, after you crop things and update to 1.2, I'll explore the area just outside Kaeshar to see whats new.

How come you put UBSR under Kaeshar?

Bla · « **Reply #2967 on:** March 05, 2012, 12:18:50 PM »

To show that the region is a part of UBSR, I did the same to Vatallus. The reason is that they aren't connected to the main UBSR territories, so you can't tell that they're a part of it from the white borders.

smjjames · « **Reply #2968 on:** March 05, 2012, 07:02:04 PM »

I know it'll be a while before a rail line is established, but no harm in talking about it.

I think Bla said he wanted to avoid a water crossing if he could, so I made this route and walked along it. The ice covered lakes are shallow, so no issue there. My thought is to go south through there, west through that land bridge, south under the plains and the swamp. Once it hits desert though, I don't know where it should go because I haven't decided on where I'd place a station.

Another option would be to go east instead of west at that lake and then go south. Going right through the lake could also be an option.

Also, I've spotted three cave openings in the southern part of the swamps, haven't explored beyond the openings. I assume cave systems aren't a problem?

vh · « **Reply #2969 on:** March 05, 2012, 07:27:53 PM »

nope, the current rail system passes through many already
