Mongoose that is the most awesome thing Ive seen, and Ive seen some cool stuff on Youtube. I spend ages digging and building stuff and dont have anything anywhere near that cool 8-)
What are you using for screenshots, is there an F12 type print screen in game?
Did you use buckets to get the water up into your sky fortress?
:whoops: :whoops: thanks Clockd, thats very kind
The screenys are simple F11 for full screen then PrintScrn and paste into paint jobs. Id have done a walkthrough video like Zpyders but I dont know how!
to get the water I used two buckets. Useful tip for getting water to somewhere a distance from the ocean:
Get two bucket-fulls of water. Dig a 2x2x1 square hole, and put the water in diagonally opposite corners. The hole should fill with still water, and you are now the proud owner of an infinite spring. You can take as much water out of that hole as you like and it will always just fill up again. This is how I got water into the sky fortress, irrigating the first floor relies on the waterfall in the middle and also a moat all the way around the perimeter, which would have taken a VERY long time to fill from the sea! I just made myself an infinite spring inside the sky fortress and filled it up from there. Actually after placing 5 or 6 bucket-fulls the moat itself became an infinite spring which made things even quicker.
As for getting rid of crazy amounts of stone, gravel etc from mining, I have a lava pit in my minehead station into which I throw things I no longer need. Be careful not to put anything flamable near lava though, or bad things could happen.
