I've just realised that, over its course, I've read this whole thread despite not even purchasing the game.

Same here.

 

It's interesting, and a free way of enjoying the game. :)

:-@

 

The other day, while excavating the pool, I decided to enlarge a cave which had to be hollowed out anyway. So I put a load of TNT inside it, and I was finishing, the corner of my virtual eye caught a little flame in a corner. "That's odd" I thought, "I didn't light anything on fire".

 

Of course it took me slightly longer than I needed to RUN AWAY!!¬"! to realise that there was lava below or right next to the cave which caused the TNT to light on fire and start detonating therefore setting off a chain reaction and blowing me to bits :C

Yeah, pinging times out too. Looks like I'll have to do some work then.

I tried swimming up from the bottom of the pool. It didn't work.

Did we decide if we're going to go after Eden Project, or do some other big project?

Not sure which glowstone you're referring to - the ones in the middle by the glass window don't - although you do get your bubbles refreshed if you kiss the bottom, but that's just an illusion, and you soon start drowning. :S

There is a pillar of air created by the ladder in the nearest corner, which does let you get down to the bottom though.

Teh Eden Project Project!

If we want to do a 1:1 replica (or at least begin with something the right scale, even if the end result is nothing like it), we need an area at least 450x450 blocks. (I'd prefer 600x750 to include a bit of the surrounding area.)

For comparison, the swimming pool (building) is 100x100 blocks ( I'm assuming; I only counted roughly :P )


That's a pretty big area we'd need to clear - though unlike the swimming pool we don't need to dig all the way down.
Going ~16 blocks below sea level would be enough, though maybe a few more than that might look better.


So. Are people wanting to be doing that?

Also, do people want to aim for completion by 17th March (the tenth anniversary of full site opening), which basically gives us a week?

not convinced it could be done in a week, especially as minecraft.net seems to be down (again)

I find the clearing part enjoyable, so I'm up for that, but I don't know I'd be much help on dome construction etc.

are you planning to get all the elevations etc right too?

Given the diameter, is 16 blocks below sea level enough to build the dome properly, or will it hit the ceiling?

I'm probably the same! I'll happily clear lots of ground.

I didn't pluck 16 out of thin air you know. :P

The whole Eden Project site is ~450m² - most of which is outdoor gardens and assorted buildings - the two biodomes are only about 1/6th of that space combined.

The largest dome is 55m high.

Bedrock = 0..4, sea level = 64 and invisible ceiling = 128

The reason for dropping 16 is:
a) to stop the tip of the big one from reaching cloud level and looking crap.
b) the site is an old quarry, so is actually in a dip in the ground anyway.


Technically, to be accurate, we should probably be around 30..40m above sea level, and then drop a certain amount down from that - but that's probably taking things a bit too far. :)

As right as possible, what with not having actual blueprints to follow. :)

Knowing the biodome heights along with width/length should give us a fair guide, but if we're going to do it I'll also try and track down heights of the other buildings/structures to make it easier.

I'm trying to figure out if you'd make an outstanding or a terrible foreman. We will see.
