And how is he flying and hovering around above what he's building? That could be very useful.

I wanted an easy way to send all my debris off to Xeno, we tried loading it into minecarts but they don't seem to run well with no-one in them, I figured a free flowing canal would just carry blocks along

that is amazing, but wouldn't help me :(

Ken: flying mod

Well, the video Xen linked to might do the trick – you could stick any number of minecarts on a gigantic monorail engine and just let it shuffle off to its destination. Mind you, I dunno how much work it'd be to create such a beast...

 

edit: actually, from the looks of things it seems like the only hard part would be building the engine itself, as the track seems to be just a row (with no corners) of redstone torches and (in an optimised version) some repeaters/delays.

Oh man that could be an alternative to my elevator idea :D It'd be about as fast as the elevators in Mass Effect, too :C

Have you seen how much wiring is needed? :((

I edited my post :$

And yeah, it looks like a lot but from the comments (and my head) I get the impression it could be done with much less.

But... it's a row of redstone torches the length of the entire track which need to sequentially go off and then back on. Which is a lot of wiring however you do it (especially over a distance of 800 squares :(( )

But yeah, feasible for a lift if it can be made to go upwards.

haha :D

And yeah, I know it'll be a lot of wiring but man, it'd be so cool to have a working "train". The noise is fabulous :$

I'm not gonna make it that easy for you.

That didn't strike me as terrible! But it's like having a strobe light in the elevator with you!

Man I've been messing with pistons all weekend, what a pain in the ass! The wiring and stuff needed requires you to really think about space before using them!

Jon can you hook me up with some sticky? (nj)(yj)

since you're not 'in game' best I can do is this ~

EVERYONE:

there is a box with some slime balls in at the spawn area, don't be too greedy there should be enough for everyone

Thanks Jon!

No one's been on for a while (even Jon :O ) - are we in another lull?

I wanted to get on last night and at least get some goo, but...

I had to make a video, hang a storm door, cook supper, bake a cake, and run my daughter to town.

Hopefully tonight I can get some time!

Jon's been busy (had to venture into England today!) but will be returning shortly

I hope you took precautions :|
