What a complete and total flustercluck.
I have nothing... at all... anywhere.
I have a choice to make now.
Do I cheat to refill my chests (dont even actually know who to do that), or do I go start punching a tree and make a wood pick... mine three pieces of stone and make a stone pick... and so on?
No, didnt forget... but I cant use the backup, because when I changed the .jar to try the snapshot, the height mod resets the spawn point to original spot and with the changes to the map Ive made... i die on spawn. The old .jar didnt fix the spawn problem So its dead game or no inventory.
Also, I might just be to computer ignorant to jack with files n codes in any way... heh Im old... Saw led Zeppelin play live if that's a good enough hint.
/deep sigh
Im not risking an attempt to refill my inventories with a mod... it will probably just screw things up worse again.
It really hurt to loose one and a half stacks of Iron bars, four stack of brick blocks (thats a LOT of clay) and eight stacks of white wool (a tiny little drop in the bucket of what Im going to need in total, somewhere around 5000 stacks LOL). Mostly just lost stockpiled wood, dirt, cobble and saplings etc. Besides, if I didnt enjoy the game, I wouldnt play it as a game... Id go creative.
At least the MEANS of production weren't lost... the sheep pens were/are done, the wheat farm is still there (and almost finished doubling its size this afternoon).
So... Im off to punch a few trees..... sigh... no pic update tonight.
Tomorrow night look for an update with pics of 2000+ block wheat farm, fully functional sheep farm (including Rainbow Pens), and the foundations of the Knights Tower in place.
Oh man. That sucks so much. All that hard work. At least you have your farms, quarries etc. Still, that's quite a big setback. I'm glad you have the commitment to continue the project, well done. Can't wait to see the wheat farm. Keep it up.

Hey, I just thought of something, to gather more wool, you should make a mob tower and craft it out of spider string, with multiple towers, plus the sheep farm, you should produce enough wool for the project.

Sorry to hear about your recent setbacks… :sad.gif: I never thought that the Snapshot wasn't compatible with most mods due to how similar the coding is between it and 1.0.0
It makes me very happy to hear that you have the perseverance and the fortitude to continue. :biggrin.gif:
You just cant keep a stubborn survivalist down.
Im recovered, resupplied (mostly), and building.
Included in this update;
Doubled the wheat farm
Built the sheep pens
Laid the Guard Tower foundations and started the build on it.
... Corrupt File SURPRISE
Figured that if its to be wool, might as well get ready to breed around 2.77 metric asstons of them or so. Gonna take a lot of wheat, heh.
The old farm is laid out like this... 4 X 64 patches... there are four of those, for a total of 1024 blocks of watered farmland;
I then laid a walkway of stone slabs over the irrigation ditch so I could plant the inside rows. In the next pic you can see the water under the walkway and see the expansion in progress.
In the above pic you can also see the rows of torches on the sides of the wooden rafters that run the length of the rows... there is a torch on EVERY AVAILABLE space in and around this farm.
Farm is now double sized for a total of 2048 blocks...
It takes about 40 minutes to harvest and replant it all, lol.
Did I mention that this project will take a lot of wool and therefore a lot of sheep? I started by trying to build on the land as it was, but came to the realization VERY quickly that there was a major project phase demanded.
A lot of sheep are going to need a very big sheep pen / farm... time to clear some land (will need the cobble and dirt anyway)
A progress series:
the beginning attempt... scrapped quickly
1 tear down the first pens, and take off all the dirt off the first hill
2 take the dirt off the second hill, fill in the little ponds, and fill in part of the sea just outside the little safe-house and above the first hill, and build the basic foundations of the outside of the castle to establish the inside of the sheep pens. I like straight fences.
3a take down the whole damn hill... better like mining if you're gonna go legit. 7 1/2 hours of picking stone :smile.gif:... notice the 2X2 blocks of gold ore floating above the finished field... didn't have an iron pick ax, lol.
3b run out the entire fence rows and draw in the starter herd from the surrounding lands with some wheat.
4 start the rainbow pens. Gonna need lots of color for the interiors
5a The blackies will have their own slightly larger pen.... will need a lot of them for roofs.
5b And, of course, a sheep herders hut... equipment, wheat and wool storage... and a bed... will be spending DAYS AND DAYS breeding sheep.. already have
6 Finally... started developing the big herd.
_____________________________________________________________________________ The Guard Tower
Layed teh foundations and started building up the interior walls... notice that they are two-three feet thick (1block=1ft in this build) on the lower third... seems necessary to hold up the whole thing
Also notice one row of white wool cladding on the outside.... meh, gonna take a LOT of wool.
I have decided to build this tower all the way to the top, appx 120 block above ground level (not the castle's tallest tower either), before continuing on any of the rest of the project... I need a big accomplishment for renewed inspiration.
MCedit was necessary to fix my free fall spawn point after the snapshot catastrophe. Hated to do it, but the project ends if you spawn in already dead. Got a couple surprises along with the fixed spawn; half of my sheep are gone and ALL of my stored inventory... pffft no biggie, the building is 100% as it was.
But I also got this little gem just outside the sheep pens;
a huge water fall coming out of nowhere and about 500 blocks high. I think I'll leave it for a while :wink.gif:
The Sheep farms look great. I love how you have different pens for all of the different colors :smile.gif:
The guard tower looks like it is also coming along great. :wink.gif: And the waterfalls actually look pretty nice…maybe turn them into a giant fountain to celebrate your achievements? :tongue.gif:
Anyway, I'm glad that you are continuing on with the project as planned!
Do spiders still drop thread? I haven't played survival recently so I'm a bit fuzzy on what still works. If they do, then you could make a mob trap to harvest thread to craft into wool.
Also, when backing up, I think its simpler to just zip the folder and then rename it with the current date instead of cut pasting everything to a different folder. That way you get the original folder and the compressed backups all in the same place.
Sorry to hear about the update fiasco - I've had similar experiences. You're a better man than me - I'd just cheat back the supplies with perhaps a little extra as consolation for all the hassle. :biggrin.gif:
OK, so there have been requests for world down load, RP server etc...
I dont know what the future will be, but I promise, I wont hog it or hide it, but I have NO IDEA how to do anything other than just play this game.
Let me finish the thing, and I will share it to everyone's heart's content.
My nephew just graduated with a degree in comp sci of some kind, and I know that he has a MC server of some kind that he admins and his buddies play on.... I'll get him involved when the time comes and let you all do what you want with the finished product.
Awesome. I kept on checking the old thread and just happened to find this one later. So I had 4 pages to catch up on. You might end up not needing the wheat farm, because minecraft 1.1 is supposed to be released TOMORROW (according to jeb's twitter). Make sure you back up everything.
I had to resort to MCedit to fix my spawning problem.
now... i have no inventory... anywhere. Nothing in my chests, nothing on my person.
all 100% empty
I have nothing... at all... anywhere.
I have a choice to make now.
Do I cheat to refill my chests (dont even actually know who to do that), or do I go start punching a tree and make a wood pick... mine three pieces of stone and make a stone pick... and so on?
CRAP!

Oh, and how did you make the sheep farms?

I just upgraded the photobucket to pro, so the pics should be back soon.
