Man, I keep getting Failed to connect to server.

Nah, it's closer to my own territory. That's all I'll say on the matter.

Speaking of which: thank you, Hawk, for finishing that skywalk of mine.

No problem. Originally I was going to carry straight on and then turn right and join it to where that hillside is, where the skywalk is lower down, but I thought a nifty spiral just looked better and went with that.

By the way, have we even named this place yet?

What do you think those giant walls are for??! Though not all of my stuff is inside the walls, I also have a tunnel linking to my sea dome. I also claim at least 2 tiles of water outside the walls, so I can have both interior and exterior moats.

I'm... not sure where my expansions are going to take me.
If there are going to be expansions.

So, uh... can I claim anything ABOVE ground, around the area of the skyway I built(and Hawk finished)?

Pyros' Minecraft Pro-tip:

Whenever you build tunnels or caves, dig 2 blocks deep in the ceiling, floor, or walls, and place a spongeblock (looks like cheese to me) there, and then cover it up with a block that matches the rest of the wall. This hides the spongeblock, allowing your caves and tunnels to look cool without sponges, and keeps griefers from just waltzing through and deleting all your spongeblocks.

If you make a habit of doing this for every new tunnel made, for every few feet of tunnel, then unless someone just rips the underground a new one,fills the rest of the world with water, then your creations should be fine. Even if someone rips the underground a new one, your tunnels should still be water proof to the point that repair is just a matter of walking through and sealing one or two holes and draining the water out of a few portals of water between dry spots.

Minecraft Fun tip: Watervators:
For those of us without developers tools, moving upwards is a difficult proposition, unless we're in water, or less pleasantly, lava. Scaling heights, especially from the lower cave levels, proves tricky and somewhat tedious, especially if we accidentally fall back down again, or set our spawn underground.

However, due to sponge blocks making it quite possible for water to defy gravity, a vertical shaft of water can be created that exits out into your dry, secret underwater base, making exit and entry a matter of floating upwards to the surface. For kudos, you should make a nearby second tunnel of normal atmosphere (air!) for fast downwards movement, making essentially, turbolifts: one down, one up.

I could really use a water lift in the centre of my tower.

One is dry, that's the entrance.
One is flooded, that's the exit.

You can't hear it, but I'm growling lowly at you.
From rage.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to try this out later today, how much space is still left on the island anyway?

[krogothwolf]

So yeah, all of today I've been getting "Failure to Connect to Server. Server Must be Down." It bites

quick tip for you explorers.

I have the Warbot house, that's the stuff i'm privately working on. However, i made a Public area.

Take the red tower and run to the giant Tree. Right after that you should see a small Ground fortification.

If you enter it, you will find underground:

to your left there is a quick tunnel towards open sea
to your left there is also a small gold room with a ventilation shaft
To your right you will find a underground house with 2 tunnels (long ones)
a underground tunnel that takes you right back to the red tower.
and a underground tunnel that leads to a lava bridge and a dead end.

back up and keeping to the right, you will go past a free room (pretty big and empty)
and a little further you will come out in the middle of forest, right next to a big red arrow.

This is all built right on the edge of the map, so it's like a Coastline fortress with Escape tunnels.

Now, i would like to ask you to not tear it down or close these paths (unless of course, the long tunnels get in the way of your own major buildings), but feel free to change it's look or add new areas. It's a free zone for y'all.

I am 3/4s done with my Fuck Off Wall Of Rainbows And Happiness™. Screenshots to come later.

In other news, Wigmund knows nothing of waterproofing. This is at least the second time someone has flooded his place.
