    Yes, I'm necroposting ... but thanks for the picture Jango. I put a lot of work into my library and farm. It was great to see them from orbit! =) Just for kicks I installed minetest (I run Ubuntu) yesterday. My 5yo daughter immediately climbed into my lap to watch, and loved to whole thing...

    Advice on Simpit Project w/Rift.

    Thepenguin: I intend only to build the instrument pannel and have the required switches mounted in the appropriate positions. Heilor: I pretty much fly by feel now anyways and know where the switches are without looking (Flaps are below and left of the right yoke, Carb heat is to the left of...

    Advice on Simpit Project w/Rift.

    TLDR: Two things, what do you guys think of my concept, and where can I go to learn how to build switches, etc for my simpit project? Hello! Well, it’s official, I’m going to build a simulator. Unfortunately it’s going to be a Cessna 172 and not a DG-IV. This is because I want to use it...

    I've never actually played any attention to mods before, but i've been doing a little research on terrafirmacraft. I have discovered that terafirmacraft has chisels/microblocks, and my mind has been completely blown. I can't describe how enthusiastic about microblocks and carving things ...

    I'm having trouble staying connected also. Things are very laggy. It's been fairly consistant for the last 12hrs. This is all a great tragedy because if I can't waste time in MC, I'll have to study. lol.

    Hey every one, Glad to be back! I've spent the last few days working on the library, filling in creeper holes and city wall damage, and fixing up the mob defenses around the city. And I also isolated that broken spur out to the gold farm line, so that nether rail line is working correctly now...

    Orbiter at a Science Day Camp, July 2013

    Ah, now a see that those unusual shapes are just things like T's and 45's butted up to each other. Very clever!

    Awesome, something to play on those long transits. You definitely deserve a +1 for getting kids interested in science. Where did you get those great plastic fittings to make your frame on?

    YES, appease the creeper god! I have a sheep farm opposite tango's ranch to the east of the town. I've dyed them all lime green and placed a bit of lime green wool in a chest at 118, 64, 482. Help yourself to both the chest and the sheep. Good luck with your project!

    It's spring here in the Great White North ... I'll be outside soaking up as much sun as I can before we have to hibernate.

    I've been using the place as a staging ground and alot of that extra material belongs to me ... The chests are public so obviously everyone is welcome to them, if they are in a bind. Just don't leave me with nothing. ;) I'll put up a sign saying this when I can. Oh... Don't touch any of my sand...

    Cool! But do they drop meat? I only ask because I know how you Euro's love your horse meat. ;)

    I would have some detector rails connected to pistons that will retract the half slabs when the cart is there ... that way the passenger will be exposed and can jump out/shut the rail off, etc. Right now (i'm not sure if it's new with 1.5) but if you are inside a block, all your right or left...

    :tiphat: You can do that? I tried those options earlier and didn't have any luck... I'll try again latter. I hope you're right. :)

    My first instinct was R-7 or Falcon... Because they are the two best examples of what space is and where space is going. But I'm gonna vote forhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_DC-X Because this is where space really needs to be going. Besides with my budget, if I'm ever gonna...

    We'd have to put half slabs over the track ... there would have to be something fancy where the rider drops his cart and enters the track. And it would be nice to have a covered area to keep us safe from the ghasts. I have a pretty good idea of how to do it if it's decided if to proceed.
