Wow. That helps a lot.
This game is pretty amazing. I had a few decent digs going. One ended up turning into a subterranean farm, one hit bedrock, the other went into a cave with skeletons. Haven't seen any spiders to kill to get a bow together yet, and the archers can hit me as I try to enter the cave. Doored that area off and plan on going back later.
Then went topside to fortify the immediate outside of my base with some castle walls.
Currently debating tunneling up into the mountain I'm under, or tunneling out to establish an outpost and then tunneling down again.

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
This game really hits on some weird primal impulse to collect things and build something with it. Crazy how addictive it is.
I hope that the impending updates add larger creatures or more late-game challenge (read: MegaBeasts/Dragons). It feels like after a few days, with my mine entrance inside my castle, that there isn't really any kind of threat. Just sandbox from here on out (which isn't bad, but I would like more sense of impending doom like Night 1).
Decided to extend my tower by another block wide, so I started working at it floor by floor. About four floors up, I just found two creepers blocked off under some stone stairs. I honestly have no idea how they got there. I finished that floor days ago too, and blocking off the under stair area is always the last thing I do when working on a floor.

How is the online stuff, is it thriving and lush or is it baron?

I always thought the ground had to be dirt, sand, or gravel for the monsters to spawn. Guess not

I think it has to be pretty well lit, the main entrance of my Mine gets mobs spawning occasionally and it's lit up quite well.
For those of you hitting up touchmybox's server, feel free to check out my in-progress water slide. It's near PEN ISLAND. Just look up and around - it reaches to the sky box, you'll see it.
I just finished the stairway (took forever because shit kept crashing), and started the actual slide.
The waterslide has a couple of drops and then splits into 3 paths.
If you want, feel free to extend any of the three paths and do shit with em.
The annoying part is that you have to build from the top down, and thus, each time you want to extend the slide down you're going to have to do so from underneath. The alternative was to build a giant mountain of 10,000 blocks and then chisel out the slide.
If/when minecarts get fixed for multiplayer, I'll put tracks all the way up and down the stairs in a loop, and add a bunch of carts. Drop in some fuel and baby, you've got a ski lift goin'. Hop on, ride up, hop off, enter the slide, ride down, end up at the bottom, and hop on another cart to do it all again.
I'm at work, so no screens or anything.

If you have a credit card linked to your paypal, it's instant. If you don't, it could be several days.
Hmm I see. I take it linking it now will still delay the purchase.

So I think I know who it was crashing clients on Touchmybox's server the other night. :lol Sorry about that. A chicken was able to ride the cart up and down the hill though! The little guy looked so happy.

I started the game 5 minutes ago, got prompted for an update and now the sound is working fine
Damn, I have a terrible OCD reaction to this game where I want everything to look perfect, to the point where I constantly restructure my base and caves below so everything looks nice and so I have enough room to add steps so I don't have to jump up stairs and so all stone bricks match in look. This game destroys me, I love it so much.

You cant. That is bedrock, and it means you've dug about as deep as the game will allow.
Rubius said:
Thats exactly what I love about this. Unlike the carrot and stick design of MMOs Minecraft has no real goal beyond what you decide for yourself.
One day Notch is gonna make bedrock breakable and below it will be hell. And people that ask questions that have been answered a hundred times without reading the thread will go there.
Note to people that are new to the game: that was all a joke. Bedrock will never be breakable, or he'd have to redesign the game if it were.

To be fair, the default bedrock texture doesn't really let on that it's unbreakable. The texture packs do a better job conveying that these are really different from regular blocks.

Can you fix the grey screen of death without going online on the machine that I'm trying to play on (no internet access). I've got two days before cable gets installed and was hoping to play something other than Diablo 2. Not that there is anything wrong with Diablo 2.

Exploring caves is always more effective than just digging out your own mine. Always.
Or at the very least it's just as effective, and a lot less boring.
