ICMC: ICTown and Build Plot Requests

Ivan · Dec 2011

mmmfff, don't want to do this but I've been looking at my Industrial Plot and with the build projects I have in mine (Notably recreating the Rumford Manor from Thief the Metal Age which would take, just from the sheer size of it 2-3 Industrial plots worth of real estate)

So I will regrettably (Regrettably only because I made a stint about plot registration earlier in the thread and now I feel like a dick for doing this) be releasing Industrial H10 back into the registration table.

I've been looking about and if x120, z161 to x295, z316 is available I'd like to request that. (Terribly sorry again, should've thought about how much land I'd need before I requested the plot)

I'd like a reasonable size plot around x-750, z-215 (atleast 40x40)

BobbyDigi · Feb 2012

Oh, my username is doabarrelroll21. I'll read through the server rules and everything.

You should be good to go. Let me know if there are any issues.

Let's call it 50x50 corners -725, -190 x -775, -240?

Has A1 been spoken for?

A1 is Yours

A lot of people have built their basements to large or have used part of the community area as a wall. This means when I have been making the undercity paths around plots I end up in someone's basement and have to try and repair some or have to work around user placed blocks when opening the walk ways.

I think B2 is an example of this. There are the stone bricks under the sandstone outline for the plot which is not part of the plot, that would make all plots 23x23 instead of 21x21. If people could double check their basements and fix this I could keep me a tunneling but I keep running into this. I was going around mine and had to move my wall in because I was using the blocks outside my plot as a wall for my basement.

AlexDeGruven · Feb 2012

I ran into a couple of these situations, myself. In fact, until I had a good grasp of the lay of the land, my own walls were extended into the road area, as well.

Ilriyas · Feb 2012

My own basement walls end 2 spaces within my plot limit (The rest is a moat) however I have a section of redstone wire that goes right up to my plot limit (but not exceeding its the only way the iron doors will function so I can't push the wire backwards even though it does leave a visible space in the undercity wall.)

BobbyDigi · Feb 2012

The original design was indeed to use the two outer rows of the road as the walls between the road and plot allowing builders to utilize the entire 21x21 space. This would make the road 3x5. I realize that some members have built with this in mind and I realize most of the tunnels have been mines out at 5x5.

I really like the look of the 5x5 so here is what I ask. When you run into one of those with the walls outstretching, dig around it and PM me or let me know off forum. I will work out contacting those individuals and work out moving their walls in. Design of those walls are 100% up to the plot owner. DO NOT leave signs regarding any of this. Signs are to short to properly explain what needs to get explained.

You are also going to run into a couple instances where the under roads will not be going through certain plots. This has been requested and worked out with those particular players who communicated with me and we worked it out:

Between the square of plots A2, A3, B2, B3 will not be dug out.

The area around whiskey lane still needs to be addressed. I need to work with Cola and UPSLynx to coordinate what is going on around there.

Thank you to everyone that has helped with the under roads. They look amazing.

I see no problem with what you described other then the possible accidental knocking of your redstone.

Um I am C2 and Tushon is C3. I already did all around my plot.

My bad. Corrected.

Since someone started on A1 before me, I have/will be rectifying the wall situation underground.

Also, I harvested the wheat field.. I was wholly unprepared for this. Who made this thing? It is amazing! I did not have enough space for everything in 1 go though, totally unprepared for the volume of wheat. I am 1/4 of the way done replanting as of this moment. Whew!

Pacifisto · Feb 2012

If it's the one-touch harvest field, that's Error's baby. It's really impressive, no?

Ryder · Feb 2012

yes, the one touch field, very impressive.
192 more bread in the chest and field replanted.

ardichoke · Feb 2012

I loved the 1 switch field I built on the old server. I need to build a new one on the new server at some point...

GHoosdum · Feb 2012

Wait, how does this one touch harvest work? I have been manually harvesting wheat as I'm used to.
MAGNETS!?

Pacifisto · Feb 2012

Water! It's like magic, but more watery!

Back in the day when water flowed over a wheat crop, you only got the wheat. This stemmed giant wheat farms because seeds were a pain in teh ass to get, remember running around hoein' grass and every 10th one or so would pop up a seed? Manually harvesting was the only way to keep a supply of seeds and not go insane. A While back the Mojang team changed it so that water flowing over the crops popped out seeds also. This spurred a huge drop in frame rates as gigantic farms were created in that 1 water source could be split down multiple channels, dipping every X meters to the next level, down to the next and so on. The remaining disadvantage was that you still needed to creep while replanting or you risk "trampling" your dirt and requiring a re-til. That was later "fixed" as you do not trample crops simply walking through them or even sprinting though jumping will more than likely trample your tilled dirt.

Now if there was only an easier way to replant the seeds.

I know way to much about this game,

Yes, please. I replanted the WHOLE field today.

AlexDeGruven · Feb 2012

I wish you could rig up dispensers for things like seeds and bonemeal.

Automated wheat farm: Dispenser spits out seed, then hits it with bonemeal, then gets hit with water to harvest it. Repeat.

MrTRiot · Feb 2012

I drew out my plot line and began building. Thanks bobbydigi

Gorzo · Feb 2012

Can I get a 75x75 outlands plot adjacent to town claimed? Preferably north and/or east of town? I don't care what care what kind of terrain it's on so long as it's not ocean.

BobbyDigi · Feb 2012

Not adjacent to the current town, no. I could put you out past the expansion plots, but I don't know when we will be doing expansion or what direction it will go.

-Digi

Gorzo · Feb 2012

That's fine, anything near town that could allocate that size would be nice, even if I end up in the water. I can always slaughter a faraway desert and fill that sucker with sand.

TimberwolfCY · Feb 2012

K, after much confusion finally found something in BFE I'm reasonably comfortable with: basically a 35x35 plot centered on x:467, z:335. I've marked it (very roughly) with four short dirt pillars w/torches on top. Given it's 3am here though, I may move it somewhat closer to the edge of the wood (thus northerly and closer to civilization, maybe) tomorrow. Thanks again Digi for all the help.

Gorzo · Feb 2012

also, am I correct in seeing that plot A8 in town is open, next to CaptainMoustache in A9? if it's still available, I'd like to nab A8 that so I can moon him through our windows.

Basil · Feb 2012

Truely a noble cause.

Howdy, Stranger!
