I'm surprised Cam isn't in the writing credits, what with XCom always being "fine".

But then again this joke is kind of a classic. The over-the-top zaniness is what really sells it.

The idea for a legend to go with the rail map was already discussed earlier. Otherwise, the advice would be (1) use the map as you would any rail map and don't expect it to be geographically accurate and (2) use Memo's spot directory if you want to know the coords for a place. The rail map is there...

You'd have to be careful not to clutter the map too much though. Probably just put this in a legend.

Memo: Rail Map needs a compass rose to correspond w/ the map. I got a little lost on the rails trying to get back to my homestead (due to death. Got it fixed now), until I got help that the rail map needs to be rotated 90 ccw (45 ccw to be exact) to line up with the world map. The distances are als...

Lolhosk.

I'm moving to 2200, 70. Need a nice flat area to start building Orthanc + Isengard.

Moving sucks.

Good news: I finished the single player design of Orthanc. It looks friggen sweet.

Bad news: It's 196 blocks tall, which means I need to relocate somewhere flatter and start digging.

Checking the map, will post in the other threads when I find a likely candidate.

Don't all games have a pressure to not die at all? That seems pretty baseline to games as a whole. I prefer that pressure- for my game skill to improve- rather than the pressure for me to make the run worthwhile monetarily. As far as purchases, since enemies are based on your level and your level is...

I'm digging this topic back up because I just spent 20 hours of my weekend playing this, and by god someone's going to listen to my babbling. NG took me 42 heroes, at level ~110ish, 12 hours. NG+ took me a further 17 heroes, and up to lvl 162, 17 hours. At this point, having gone in expecting post W...

So I went on to check and maybe start rebuilding...

and my stuff isn't cut! Yaaaaaaay!

I'm confused but I'm not even gonna question it. Thanks Memo.

Still cut on the LRRcraft map though. Maybe it'll be back on there after the next map render? (???)

Oh yeah... Looks like you got sliced off. :( (I had you at 3065, 95 on the list for some reason.) It's because I mixed up the y and z coordinate when I first posted... :oops: In my defense, most of my math/engineering homework involving 3 coordinates looks like this: http://www.real-world-physics-p...

Oh whew, I was worried I'd have to re-setup. That would've suuuuucked. I'm at x = 3063, Z= 1875, roughly. I incorrectly listed myself as x=3063, y=1875 in the thread, so I was worried I might've been cut in two. (In my defense, math graphs are typically x, y, z, not x, z, y. I still do not understan...

Oh cripes, please tell me the map's in the middle of a render, my place is chopped right off. Every chest, my farm, cows, forge, everything but my bed.

I have a sneaking suspicion that i'll be making a smoothstone generator at my build location that i should have thought of a while ago to help with my stone brick production xD oh well. Can't believe I forgot about that, at least now I won't need to mine the world of it's smooth stone and others ca...

Yup, can't sell everything at the market. Lava's also a great fuel, a few buckets of it in a hopper can smelt hundreds of stone.

In my revamp of the Market, I planned to add the selling of Lava. I assume that would help you on your build? It would! I assume it comes with buckets? I mean, it'd be a strange system if it didn't...press button, shoots out lava...funny, but not useful. Ofc just straight selling obsidian would be ...

I started the design work for orthanc in single-player creative (cause who wants to move misplaced obsidian in regular mode? It'd be like mining it all over again) http://i.imgur.com/3WhByje.jpg http://i.imgur.com/7KWOahB.jpg Definitely worth the effort to plan this in creative first. So many proble...

As far as chopping goes, I outlined the extent of my important underground stuff: http://i.imgur.com/RI7FDqs.png http://i.imgur.com/RKPIlXY.png The coordinates are the end of my mini-rail system to the bottom of my mine. Anything in this region outside that box can, in the immortal words of Alex, sp...

I built an obsidian tower once, and the thing I found easiest was to harvest lava in buckets and sort of ... cast it in a cobblestone mold. As in, mark out the first layer with cobblestone (or other inflammable block), fill with lava, cover in water, mark out next layer, fill with lava, cover in wa...

The real problem is that a) Orthanc is black and nearly indestructable. That means Obsidian is probably the "best" choice of build material...and also the hardest to get. b) the same paragraph that marks Orthanc as 500 ft, notes that the Isengard ring is a mile in diameter, which translate...

Yeah, I kinda figured. I stopped and thought about how that would work with other people's netherchests in multi and concluded they must've just made it so they don't interact with hoppers. But I have 3 enderchests now, regardless, which should make mining and smelting faster. I went searching for t...

1. Clean those ding-blasted elm (or was it spruce?) trees, with their weird wood blocks in random places causing them not to fall down. Never planting those again. 2. Set up a dual-netherchest + hopper configuration that should (?) allow me to drop cobble in one netherchest, and have it start smelti...

I think it's worth making the distinction, since I've seen it in two posts, that I didn't actually take down/deconstruct anything that anyone else had made. Another distinction that's a little more nitpicky is that the rail line itself didn't stretch all the way to the train station. The path did, b...

The more I'm thinking about this the more annoyed I'm getting. When I try to join I now get a message saying "temp ban for unauthorized nether building" 1. No where is it written that nether building needed to be authorized. 2. While this message may be a reason... it's a bad reason and n...

I took over a hill at

x = 3063
y = 1875
z = 94

Most of my stuff will be underground, though.

An overlooked use of Eye Gouge- it kills activated Mutavaults at instant speed, because Mutavaults are cyclopses.

Heroes Podium is also gross in a Captain Sisay Commander Deck, which is exactly where I'm gonna put it.
