I'm going to go hunt around for a suitable area (i.e. make sure it's not going to collide with anyone's structures, but also isn't too far) and then create a warp point there.

Once I've done that I'll put a central marker, and if you could start clearing ~200..250 in each direction from that marker that'd be great. :)

btw, here's a satellite view with 1m = 1px = 1 block

The yellow bit is the main area, and we can add car parks and roads and stuff at the end, if we feel like it.

I don't think you mean 450m², that's only 21mx21m.

Here...

The beautiful white lines represent the towers/warp points.

What do you think?

How about a 1/32nd scale instead? :| :| :| :| :|

Maybe somewhere that's a bit closer to sea level? Just a thought. I don't really know of any alternative sites.

That was the flattest place I could see. :'S

The scale/distance is the main problem though. :/

Going 250 in each direction would be HUGE, so might do it 2m=1 block instead. :S

Until we decide for sure what we're doing, if anyone wanting to help clearing only goes to ~100..125 in each direction, that'd be good.

That way, it's not wasted effort if we decide to go half size, but still useful if we decide to go full size.

This is a stupid idea.

 

I renounce all claim and link to the idea.

It's finally come to this... a game where you are offered the oppourtunity and have the will/inclination to make a /car park/? And have fun doing it?

 

In a game where cars don't exist (at least until someone figures out how to build a V6 engine and suspension out of blocks) this seems like a little otiose.

 

C'mon Peter, the bio-dome thing is a nice idea, but don't sacrifice flair n' fun for accuracy.

 

Having said that, and never having played the game, I can still see how building a vast construction could be engaging, making sure every detail's right etc etc - it's a throw back to playing with construction toys and building replicas of your favourite things, so maybe there is something inherently entertaining about creating a flat grey area with white lines all spaced out neatly, in measured rows with enough space to park a mine cart (in an OCD way)?

 

:-Y

Pfff, where's your ambition, man? Huge is good! It's got to be big enough so that you can't see the opposite side of a dome even with the view distance on full.

And if you need the sea filling in, well, I have some experience with that.

(incidentally: I'm in London for now but should be returning home tomorrow. I have Minecraft on my laptop but it's shit playing it without a mouse)

I have an app which adds momentum to the trackpad. Makes it feel more like a trackball and makes first person games bearable. I recommend such things.

I think the Mac one has that already, I dunno. I still don't like it, cos it's not as comfortable, accurate, fast or unannoying.

All I really use in my laptop, you're clearly not dedicated enough (saying that, I've not really put much of a stint in lately).

Hey! It's a very pretty car park! :@

It's NOT just a boring slab of grey with white lines and arrows like a supermarket has - but a bunch of nice grey lines, curving about, separated by bushes and trees, with birds singing happily.

If it was purely a case of building I'd be saying let's go for it.

But we need to clear the area first, and even with a ~125 radius that's a huge task. With a ~250 radius it's insane. :/

So, how do you create a singing bird out of minecraft blocks?!
