Gaming Hielor's Minecraft Server

[orb]

Where is the portal?

The former portal to the old world is now the portal to the super survival world. The old world has been disconnected.

 

[Hielor]

There appears to be a minecraft update available, to 1.5.2.

Consider this your reminder that you shouldn't update until I've confirmed that the server has been updated. If you update before that and are locked out of the server, your tears will be used to fuel the resource world portal.

In the SS world, I have (at considerable personal expense) imported some chickens from the Far West and begun breeding them.

Please don't kill any without replacing them first. Seeds are in the ag chest by the farm.

Concerning the super survival world - how about a primer for it?
Rules, differences, etc.

Also, a mention in the first post - if you're not following the thread there is no clues that there is a new world out there.

Meanwhile, in the SS world.
People's Democratic Republic Of The Oriental Lands have claimed the eastern swamps and jungle for mining and exploitation.

An embassy have been set up in the spawn village:

Some things from the area can be for sale, if buyers can be found.
Specifically, melon seeds are on one-time sale of 3 diamonds per viable set.
Make haste to buy before someone finds some for free!

So since it's all been set up now, I can go back to my old home after I donate my items to the commune.

Sure. I'll post them here for discussion, then once they're ironed out, I'll put them in the first post.

How about:
The "super-survival world" is intended for those who prefer Minecraft in a more limited resource environment; a true survival world, not a survival world that has a virtually unlimited amount of some resources provided by afk farms. The primary mantra of the SS world is "no farms," which essentially breaks down to:
- Resources from other worlds aren't allowed and should be blocked. If you find a way around the block, I won't be happy.
- Farms that provide resources normally obtained from mining and in limited supply (iron/gold/redstone/etc) are not allowed.
- Fully automatic farms that provide resources without requiring any user interaction are not allowed, regardless of what resource they're farming.
- Limited-interaction (pull lever, get stuff, no more interaction required) farms should be of a reasonable size. If your farm can provide enough sugar cane to fill a double chest of books in just one push of a button...it's too big. Be reasonable.
- Agricultural farms where the user needs to explicitly re-plant things (e.g., a wheat farm that floods with water allowing for easier gathering of wheat, but still requires the user to re-plant the wheat on all the farmland blocks) are fine as long as all other restrictions are respected.
- XP farms and mob farms that don't provide "banned" farmable resources are acceptable as long as all other restrictions are respected.
- Farms deemed harmful to the world economy by a majority vote of responding SS world stakeholders (those who have spent significant time in the SS world and prefer that style of play) may be stuffed full of TNT and detonated without warning.
- The SS World is on "hard" difficulty, so you'll die easier.
- There is no online map for the SS World. If you want a map, make one in Minecraft.

Server has been updated to 1.5.2.

*crickets*

So I guess that description works for everyone? I'll put it in the first post tonight.

 

[Artlav]

I guess, there aren't many people there yet or at the moment.
Sounds good, however.

Seeing the lack of activity, i guess i can "claim" the spawn town by spending effort on it.
Infrastructure, spawn safety, etc.
If anyone had specific plans, let's combine them before it's too late.

Now, what are the requirements and constraints of the main portal?
I've made the nether one look less bland, and am planning to make something similar with the main one.
Is there anything i should avoid doing that can break it?

 

[orb]

Yes, of course. You can take the portal I built and make whatever you want with it, even move it somewhere else if you want, since I didn't have time to log in for the last week to build around it, and from the screenshots I can see the spawn area has completely changed. I'll be moving back to the orbiterworld, anyway.

 

[Artlav]

I meant the world portal, not nether portal.

Moving back, hm?
Just how much interest is there in the SS world anyway?

Meanwhile, in SS town.

-Added more torches, lanterns, and light everywhere.
-Tied up some loose ends

Added and filled up centralised communal storage:

In the best hardcore traditions of the world, completely creeper-friendly.

The Nether stuff goes into the Nether Spoils Pavilion, near the portal.
This one is creeper-proof.

The world is now ready to accept colonists.

 

[Hielor]

Is there any part of the SS world that you're not claiming? :lol:

I'm hoping that current lack of players is just due to people not having time for Minecraft in general, not due to a lack of interest in the SS world.

As for the world portal, technically it's just the region inside the portal that's defined to teleport people--the ring itself doesn't matter.

As for the spawn village, I had hopes to eventually grow it into a proper medieval-styled town, but I don't have time for that kind of thing, so whatever.

 

[Artlav]

Hm, i can just claim the whole SS world.
Henceforth i proclaim myself Dear Leader Of People's Democratic Republic Of Oriental Lands, Spawn Town, Far West, And The Rest Of The World.

The rest of the server looks just as empty, so i guess it's the holidays/lack of time.

 

[Gerdih]

No man, it's the worst time of the year...


the approach...


of...


FINALS!!

RUN FOR YOUR LIFES!!!

D:

And yeah, I'd forgotten about finals time. A lot of the server users are students.

 

[Pablo49]

I've been working crazy hours, so I've been too busy to play. Fear not, I have plenty of plans for that world for my most glorious return.

 

[Artlav]

Here the May 1 through May 13 are (widely cursed by anyone who needs the job done) nationwide holidays, so plenty of free time on my hands.

FINALS!!

Have it really been 4 years since my graduation already?
The nightmares still feel fresh.

Fear not, I have plenty of plans for that world for my most glorious return.

There are only that many stacks of iron blocks in the caves around here...

 

[SpaceEagle]

Hielor,could I build an Arrow Freighter somewhere in Orbiter-Forum City?

The desert to the west already has several spacecraft-related things, maybe it would be best there?

 

[SpaceEagle]

Yes! I will build a large stone then put the UCGO Arrow in it then make a door plus that crew elevator (piston Elevator) and a moving gravity Wheel.

 

[Shootingiron]

I'm hoping that current lack of players is just due to people not having time for Minecraft in general, not due to a lack of interest in the SS world.

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.

 

[Eccentrus]

Medieval town? I do have some leeuwenhoek-derived designs for that (the original leeuwenhoek was supposed to be a german middle-age house anyway)
