saltw minecraft server (in addition to a few friends of mine who help pay the hosting fee)

server ip: 50.31.23.171
post in this topic to ask to be whitelisted.
people I've never heard of with only like 1 post may be denied unless someone here can vouch for them.

rules/guidelines:
-don't muck up the landscape too much near the spawn (be reasonable, anyway)
-don't modify other peoples' construction without permission.
-and anything else self-explanatory

i'll update the first post as needed.

we are now using the technic modpack (feat. industrialcraft and buildcraft and more.) quarries, nuclear reactors, it's got it all!

Running minecraft 1.0 (not 1.1)

The spawn is really close to all kinds of new terrain features which is nice!

If possible turn off experience orbs, please. Dying after getting tons of them causes huge lag when going near all of those orbs you dropped.

Who's Chyka? I joined, and as soon as I did, they left, complaining of lag, (likely due to me joining)

Chyka's a friend of mine, he shares the cost of the server with me. I think he had a brief stay on gamingw but I dunno.
I'm not sure what the lags about but hopefully it'll be straighteneds out with 1.8s official release.

He had framerate issues though, not network lag, so I dunno

I died in the swamp near spawn and dropped a ton of experience orbs which caused me unable to play as I would get insane lag and 0 fps when trying to approach my shit. Could be what Chyka also had.

yup, looks like this a common problem with exp orbs, and the only suggested solution was to use a map editor to clear away the orbs manually for the time being.
which i'm not going to do, because it shouldn't be too long before 1.8...

edit: actually someone made a little app that automatically deletes all the xp orbs present on a world, so i'll make chyka do it with that.

Havnt played Minecraft in a long while, would like to check out some of the new stuff. Can you whitelist me so I can try it out, username Massy2k.

How complicated are the new (pistons?) I think I remember reading about and what can be done with them?

Pistons are not that complicated unless you want to do complicated things involving many pistons, especially pistons that move other piston blocks.

also you are whitelisted now.

I did a bit of cartography work. Maxed out a map, with the spawn at center. Took some screen shots.

Red line is the underground tunnel from spawn to Bob's Base. The red dots with numbers are the other bases I encountered.

0 is bob's place, 3 has a sign that says its Vnieminen's place

0, Bob's Base: (biggest one I think)

1: (did not get the best picture of this one :P )

2: (this one is pretty big as well, haven't explored all of it)

3: (small but cool)

4: (caught this one during a sunrise, with the forest in the background, thought it looked good)

So, who's is who's? I imagine it possible I missed someone. since I stayed generally within the range of what the map was set to.

Exploring with a map to fill out is one of the more enjoyable things to do in Minecraft IMHO. That and in the servers that allow it, player on player violence.

Also, Last time I tried, the server wasn't responding, it down? as soon as I can get on I'm going to make a nether portal. Chyka told me that he's pretty sure nether is on.

Not been able to login to my minecraft account for over a day now, so stuck using singleplayer. I think it might have something to do with a new patch 1.8.

vnieminen's Swamp Manor is mine, as is the small cliffside hideout (1?) and the wooden cottage (4?) on the last screenshot. When I go out and look for awesome stuff I tend to make some kind of a resting place nearby once I find something. Yesterday I found a sand filled spawner in a desert and a sunken spider spawner on the lake below that wooden cottage (you can see the dirt area used to dry the place). 8-)

I've been thinking of making a video of the "Chasm" that is under the swamp. There's like two different abandoned mines there and 7 or so underground ravines right next to each other.

Oh and there's someone's base just north-west of the spawn (when looking at that map above).

you might mean mine, though it's not that close to spawn. if you look at the forest above #4, it's directly to the right of that, on that blob of grass. it's pretty well-hidden in a cave and under some trees. he probably walked by that area before I started building, because I planted a lot of trees on the one side. I wanted to go farther away from spawn but i couldn't pass up those overhangs nearby. probably not gonna be my permanent base

this game is really a lot better now
