And keep growing it.

I HAVE A SCIENCE DEGREE

IN SCIENCE.

That will either be a very scientific tree soon enough, or it'll become apartments for rent.

Haven't decided.

[akaSM]

How about

SCIENTIFIC APARTMENTS

I like how there's a random portal just sitting there like some sort of Stargate and this is some new planet you discovered. Makes me wonder if you have a portal network somewhere now.

I found this design and though it wouldn't work...it works...it works oh so very much.

[Marc v4.0]

What does it do?

[Thadius]

No, the question you should be asking is:

What DOESN'T it do?

This is why Doc has a position in the Order of Madmen.

Of course, my completely implausible tree is only step one in me retaining the leadership of the Order.

[Arhra]

"A Modular Red stone piston extractor and reactor"

I found this design and though it wouldn't work...it works...it works oh so very much.

Wow, that's very elegant. I worked out a sequence for a three piston sequence but abandoned it due to the bulk of the redstone wiring.

[Marc v4.0]

No, the question you should be asking is:

What DOESN'T it do?

This is why Doc has a position in the Order of Madmen.

Yes, yes. I understand your schtick just fine.

Now, what does it do?

[Doc ock rokc]

Yes, yes. I understand your schtick just fine.

Now, what does it do?
Well there has been a challenge since pistons came out. This challenge was to push as many pistons as possible and get them all to retract perfectly. (because Jeb and Notch didn't exactly copy the sticky piston code from the mod that would have made this MUCH easier/simpler). Normally the limit is 4 sticky pistons and one normal stone and the wireing is extreamly ridiculous. this design is created so that it doesn't matter how many pistons there is as long as it has a connection and the right pulse.

this test created a way to extend 10 pistons and retract them all the way back.

however, the design I have my hands on can be extended to near infinite proportions and still have the same effect (as long as it's all in the same chunk. meaning I could theoretically create a 50-60 piston extender)

[Marc v4.0]

Chunks are 16x16

Unless you mean 50-60 of them along the vertical, but then you would have to completely restructure your redstone.

[Aldurin]

This is why everyone want's vertical redstone already.

[Doc ock rokc]

This is why everyone want's vertical redstone already.

yeah pretty much. I'm dieing for real fucking vertical red stone in vanilla

Chunks are 16x16

The standard user has at least 5 or 6 chunks rendered around them at all times. If the red stone goes outside of rendering then it doesn't work.

EDIT:made a gif showing what it does

http://i.imgur.com/G9dqv.gif

[Marc v4.0]

That's 5 or 6 chunks, not 'in the same chunk'. Making a clarification.

Speaking of Science, and better redstone, I did this.

[Doc ock rokc]

Some people refer to a chunk as EVERYTHING UNDER RENDER rather then the bits that are rendered at a time.

[Marc v4.0]

Some people refer to a chunk as EVERYTHING UNDER RENDER rather then the bits that are rendered at a time.

That isn't what a chunk is, though. Those 'some people' are using a clearly defined mechanic term for something that it just isn't, and if 'some people' want to avoid any issues that might arise in communicating said mechanic they should try using the term properly and not expect other people to adapt to their completely incorrect usage.

[Bells]

what scares me about takning any projects in this server is that everything cool i want to do has me going

Ooooooooh all the gathering and mining and the crafting with the Maths and the time invested pistons ghuerghl...

works better in Professor's Frink Voice

The two best things i created on the previous server were a Glass tower that connected to a Under ice Giant lab bunker that connected via underground tunnel right next to Nick's castle, and a pretty greenhouse underground... and those are all mind boggling simple to do

[Flarecobra]

If you need resources, just ask. I'm more then willing to help gather them.

By the way, we need to stop breaking physics so much.

[Melfice]

If you're referring to the "floating" gravel... that's old stuff, really. I think seed 404 was a really good example of it.
Obviously that seed doesn't work anymore since 1.8, I think, but yeah.

[BitVyper]

Server is down. I can't access it at all, so it seems like there might be a problem with the host.

[Doc ock rokc]

Welp
I managed to figure out how to do near instantaneous wireless vanilla redstone with a possibility of multiplayer support. I just need to figure out how to do deal with this pulse problem

[Marc v4.0]

Hm, server still down it seems

[Flarecobra]

Server's back up.

Well feck, I was wondering why it didn't work. Went back and corrected the original post all the same.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Speaking of mods, remember the little blocks mod, and the gullivers mod? Well, now they can be combined (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s78M59Jjcr8&list=UUH-_hzb2ILSCo9ftVSnrCIQ&index=1&feature=plcp). If there were 2 mods more perfect for each other, these two are it.

[Doc ock rokc]

new spotlight. Added Ender chests (without color code system which is a shame) trading with testificates a new ore (emerald which is the money ore) and dispensers can now pickup and put down lava and water source blocks if they have a bucket put inside of them. Buckets stack. Real navigational stars added. Pyramids can be randomly generated in deserts. Hyper golden apple added.

[Flarecobra]

Very interesting stuff this spotlight.

I just wish some of the new ore can be generated in pre-existing biomes.

first we would need to build a map
second we would need everyone online.
third we would have to actually create rules and such
and lastly everyone would get angry because they lost.

I kinda know java. I can't wait to get to the point to fiddle with minecraft.

[Sithdarth]

I actually just googled Minecraft Modding and could add at least a new block by tomorrow. Like I was expecting it to be so much more complex than it is. Fear me for now I truly command the power of the gods.

To be honest I've been programing in C and front end C like languages for like a decade now. So I've less learned java and more just learned the syntax. Which makes things sooo much easier.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

If any NPF modders ever need an artist, let me know.

Finally picked up Minecraft for myself. Name's Loyal. Lemme in.

Also, are there any details (mods in effect, etc) not listed in the first post I should be aware of?

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Main Fiendcraft server has no mods up as of late, but I did get a message saying that the current Bukkit build was outdated, apparently. Any word on that Fifth?

[Flarecobra]

I spoke with Bit about that, he said don't worry about it.

[BH5432]

Hey all I just started. Friend of flare here. Looking forward to playing with ya. Tho I have a feeling I may have set up shop in someones ravean.

[BH5432]

server seems to be down

[Pip Boy]

I haven't played on that server in like a year. Can anybody point me towards a guide to all the shit thats on it? With maps if possible?

[Flarecobra]

Only one map. Only mod running is Bukkit.

[Doc ock rokc]

to give you the gest when you spawn there is a huge mine done by someone who hasn't shown up in for ever infront of you. there is a lighthouse which is the home of Shy to your left/slightly behind you is the Jungle which a few players have set up shop (with flare spiderwebing the underground. to your right /beyond the huge mine is the frozen land. You'll see my Igloo and floating house but there is others near by. and if you go past the lighthouse and into the swamplands there is a few more strongholds i haven't bothered to explore.

[Fifthfiend]

Game's up it's just the domain that expired. Use 209.236.113.182 to get on in the interim, fiendcraft.net should be working again soonish.

Of more long-term importance, I'm not gonna be posting on NPF for the indeterminate future so updates on whats up with fiendcraft are gonna be on sexaypartay.com (http://sexaypartay.com) (I'll probably just make a subforum). That said like all of you should feel free to continue talking about the server on NPF or whereever else you like, and if someone wants a copy of the current map to make a more officially for-NPF server (or any of the other past maps such as I have backups of which I haven't lost) then get at me about that, it's not like I'm providing more than hosting at this point anyway (Got some plans to change that but like I said that'll be discussed on sp.com).

As far as why I'm not posting here or what sp.com is about I'm not really gonna get into it here as neither of those are things I want to spend a lot of time on NPF advertising (wouldn't be doing it at all but there wasn't really a better way to get ahold of all the minecraft folks at once).

[Flarecobra]

Does this mean the server is going to be going away? And is there anything we can do to help it?

EDIT: Need an opinion here. What looks better?

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

I started a new megaproject. It involves a lot of wood. I think I may have started building it arse about tit too, I now have to build the underside after having already placed the top half, like building a house from the roof down. It looks good already though.

[Flarecobra]

Having issues logging in. Keeps coming up saying "Bad Login" for some reason.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

So I'm having trouble designing the interior of my new airship. Anybody have any experiance with shipbuilding? I somehow have to fit crew quarters, a galley, a really big gun deck, cargo hold, armoury and maybe a brig inside a 50x11 curving hull.

Also I'm gona need a shitton of cloth for sails, is that really long sheep farm somewhere nearby?

[Loyal]

I have a sheep farm somewhere around 300-500 units south (and a little bit east) of the map origin. Sorry I don't remember the exact coordinates, I haven't been there in a little while. It's in the middle of a plains biome, look for the large dirt arrow pointing down. Go nuts, just be mindful of the signs.

As for your ship... I'd suggest a wider hull. Or make it tall enough for two floors.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Well, the hull is already done, so making it wider would be a massive ballache at this point. It should be tall enough for multiple floors though, I just need to figure out how to section each area off and where to place everything, as well as maximise the space I have.

[Flarecobra]

Talk to Bit.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

The plains area just past spawn tends to spawn a lot of sheep, last time I checked. Just gotta do a roundup.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Man I am so stupid, I just spent all morning replacing the top deck with half slabs half a metre higher and have gained an extra metre of head height along most of the ship. I dunno why I didn't do that to begin with.

Anyway, just decked out the gundeck and galley area (gona have the 2 connected cos I figure off duty crew would likely convene there, so having them close to the guns is handy in case of sudden attack). Turns out I can comfortably fit about 40 cannons on this thing overall, which I think is adaquate enough for the time being. And I've still got a ton of space below the gun deck for a sizable cargo hold, armoury and a brig near the aft. I may even be able to work some sort of torpedo launchers into the bow, which would be awesome.

I may or may not extend the crew quarers, or rather, lower it, so I can bunk more beds in and effectively double the crew size.

[Aerozord]

Could I get put back on the whitelist?

also, whats the server running on now? Is it still the latest tekkit?

[Flarecobra]

Vanilla, with bukkit.

And give me a moment to kick Minecraft into working.

[CitizenZ]

Hello again. CitizenS here, back from a long leave of absense from minecraft. May I be whitelisted again? Reminder: my minecraft name is CitizenS, not CitizenZ.

[Flarecobra]

1.3.1 has launched. Anyone really want the server updated? Pester Fifth. :P

[BH5432]

well Crap. I accedentally updated and now can't get on. Thought fifth would be alil faster at updates.

[Thadius]

This IS fifth you're talking about here.

You should be surprised the server still exists in the first place.

[Aldurin]

He actually mentioned it on his knock-off forum, he should be doing it soon.

At least he agrees with me that the updates have been taking a wonderful turn ever since Jeb fired Notch.

[Flarecobra]

Not sure if funny, sad, or WTFworthy. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCXTTabH7ic&feature=related)

I saw someone with a HV panel factory. It is a really complicated set up. Honestly unless you are using alot of mass fabricators and teleporters its not worth it.

[Sithdarth]

I saw someone with a HV panel factory. It is a really complicated set up. Honestly unless you are using alot of mass fabricators and teleporters its not worth it.

At this point it's not actually that much more to add on the LV, MV, and HV transformers to it. Except of course for having run out of room. Aside from that I totally have plans for some crazy complex teleporter network and giant mass fab facilities. Not to mention giant centralized power stations. You know all the things that destroy multiplayer servers.
