Minecraft

[jestingrabbit]

You know, someone should do some sort of genetic algorithms thing for minecraft circuits. Measure fitness as how right the circuit is (ie how correct it is on various inputs) + how small + how quickly it spits out results. I'm sure there's some weird little configuration that would do the trick out there somewhere, but it is a huge search space.

[Steax]

I'd imagine the easiest way would be just to try permutations. Lets see. There are... (air, piston, dust, repeater x4 directions, freestanding torch, attached torch x4 directions, normal block) 13 block types. In a 6x6x6 block space, that means slightly over 2800 permutations, which you then try feeding power into side blocks to see if any other blocks change state as you want it to.

... Just need a good enough redstone simulator. That doesn't actually sound like too much work.

New IP for SCIENCE 66.90.86.26 using default port. Will be minecraft.cbouton.com as soon as dns propagates.

[blalobw]

... Next up, I just need a compact XOR.

This maybe:

Spoiler:

It's not my creation, I ran into it on youtube. It's reasonably compact, but most importantly it's super easy to build and the I/O is easily accessable.

Oh BTW, the piston is a sticky piston

new today: Issue Reporting for the science server.

ST, Blal, Monkey: I can set one up for you as well.

I've traveled here from the year 1983 to say this: I'd like to be added to the whitelist for ST's server! My Minecraft name is the same as my name here. Thanks!

Is there a spider grinder near Pandora? I'd like to brew some instant damage potions to replace those I used at Bona's most excellent blaze grinder. Thanks!

[Josephine]

Thank you! The crusher is not activated currently, and it needs a little more redstone debugging. The problem with the crusher is that somewhere inside, the blazes are getting hurt. and the crusher kills more than half what's been collected. I disconnected it so that it would just hold them in, but i seem to have messed up somewhere. Either way, two potions should kill them all. And that's been my biggest problem, getting spider eyes. I even rooted around in practically every chest in the plains city, and nobody has them. Here's hoping we find a spider spawner.

[Fractangle]

I've decided to be the nutty hermit living on the outskirts of Pandora, in this general area:

Basically, I'm interested in the swampy island, and some of the not-too-mountainous terrain in the pine forest next door to it.

I have big plans, oh yes big plans indeed! *rubs hands and runs off cackling*

Be careful, those swamps have claimed many an adventurer's boat.
(Okay, only one adventurer that I know of, but I think I lost about four boats near there when I was mapping that peninsula... Other than that, good choice of a home!)

[tHe_kiiD]

did someone asked for Spider eyes? I might have a few stacks laying around. I'll leave a stack (if I can find them) at Bona's house.

[clockworkmonk]

I cannot seem to find the server address. could someone tell me what it is?

[Jahoclave]

First page.

[Fractangle]

May I have lava bucket privileges please? It's pretty much essential to my security system.

Meem built one somewhere near the original settlement - I think it's somewhere in his caves.

EDIT: Found 3 cave spider spawners within activation distance from each other. To get there, first go to my work shack and find the storage room (the one with large windows and a tiled floor). From there, find the pathway that leads underground. Then just follow the netherrack trail. It'll take you down one level, then a u-turn, straight, and just one left turn. There's one deactivated spawner right there. There are 2 more slightly above it, that are still active (and are within range of the other one). Be careful there.

The spawners are more or less directly under the East road.

[jestingrabbit]

I was going to say, there is a huge mine system down there and several poisonous spider spawners. I never managed to turn many off (tricky to get close enough with all the webs around, though I think I got a couple and made much of the surrounding caves safe).

Also, there were... eight I think? spider eyes in my leftmost low chest (currently experiencing machine related difficulties...).

[cephalopod9]

Are there plans to update ST's server to 1.1 yet?
I updated impulsively Q-Q

Infinite purple wool though.


How permanent does everyone consider the structures and territories to be?

I've been thinking about making a fancy map of the server. I have art supplies, like water colors and dip pens, but no cartography skills, and I don't know enough about the layout or it's history to do it on my own.

[Josephine]

The server certainly has plenty of history. We'd be more than willing to help with a map like that, I think.

[emceng]

Ok, noob question. I thought since I paid for a copy of the beta I was supposed to have access to the full game when released. When I logged in last night I got 'login failed'.

Server issue, retry login.

[Meem1029]

YA, you do still have access to the game. Odds are that either you had your username or password wrong or the login servers were down for some reason or another.

[emceng]

Do I have to download the new version from the website? Guess I didn't think of that, figured it would update automatically, or tell me to do so.

Pretty sure you've pretty much secured practically all the caves down there, lol.

We can all help. Things are pretty much clear-cut, you just have people settling in to new locations. We're also kind of split into two continents at this point, and the transpacific railway is still in planning (and material-gathering).

Just to be safe, yeah, just remove all your old minecraft stuff (find your .minecraft folder), and download anew. I think there's also a "forgot password" option.

And Narnia is the secret empire that rules all, even if Scallel doesn't know that.

Narnia: the Little Shadow Government that Could.

[jestingrabbit]

Nah, there are underground ravines that I've only really seen and that have barely any light on them at all, and I kept finding more mines that weren't lit up.

Also, for the main rail, where are we putting supplies for that? I take it we mostly want iron for rail?

We keep on ruling, keep on ruling, keep on ruling.

[Magnanimous]

We're still gonna do the huge overworld rail to Pandora? That's gonna take ages... I should probably start playing again to help out.

[Meem1029]

Ya, I should probably get on here again sometime soon. I've been distracted by school/MCM/other minecraft servers for a while. I'll likely make a reappearance tonight sometime.

[Jahoclave]

Yeah, school is a real pain in the ass. Especially when it's your last semester and you've got comp exams, degree papers, and everything else. Oddly enough, the one thing I don't have is a whole lot of reading.

Oh, to the north? The cave system down there is quite extensive.

We have most of the rail we need, thanks to roos and his giant hunk of stuff, so for now we just need stone and planks. Lets see... it's 16km ish, which means 250 stacks, or 5 chests. If I remember correctly, we had enough rail for that (and we have the godly gifts too). That does mean we need 15 chests of stone brick, and 10 chests of wood planks, as well.

... Yeah, it's not going to be easy, but it's going to be epic.

[tHe_kiiD]

I was wondering if I could possibly get flying privileges for one of my upcoming builds.
I already have the design done in sp creative mode, and to think to do the exact same thing without being able to fly makes my head hurt. Simply, I am doing a version of the Arc de Triomphe, by combining an unfinished version I saw on reddit. This will serve as the front gate to my kingdom. wich would later serve as my permanent home. I am currently in a mix between 'bed surfing' and living in caves. I must first find a location for said kingdom so I don't need to be flying right now, probably until next update. If for some reason I am unable to get flying privileges ladders will do. thanks.

Here are some random images of the build;

Spoiler:

I might also need a few bedrock placed for decoration.

[Steax]

I don't think it's possible to fly without simply being placed in creative.

Your build does seem possible if you build it in columns, have you considered that? Basically you label and set aside each column of construction, then you build up, and for over-arcs you just attach them to the nearest column.

Also, I'm pretty sure that thing is from bedrock to sky, no?

[jestingrabbit]

We're still gonna do the huge overworld rail to Pandora? That's gonna take ages... I should probably start playing again to help out.

Or to RETURN MY DAMN SILKTOUCH PICK!!! I destroyed like 4 glass panes because I didn't have that pick...

[Magnanimous]

Hold on, you don't have it? I used it to remove the glass and get a dirt block, then someone else (bona? Or another person working nearby) wanted to borrow it for something and I told them where to put it back.

... Needless to say, I don't mind getting you another one if no one knows where it is.

Wait, you can.. you can do.. um. uh. Yeah. Those panes cost me a lot. I should probably get more exp.

[jestingrabbit]

When I get back on the server I'm checking every single one of my chests, and if I don't find it somewhere... I'll be even more snarky. Just you wait...
