Get me materials for rails and I'll run them to us (I don't really have a place set up at my construction zone so you can just dump materials in my dropbox chest at my NE spawn home). On the advice of another poster I built to the NE of you beyond my original site, closer to the ocean, but one rail line should serve us both; my current site probably means I don't have to remove a mountain to get the intended look so it's easier on me.
Do you have any preferences on station type? I can stick it underground or put it above-ground too.I like the resource pack you're using a lot. What's it called?
Had a great night exploring. The new biomes are amazing, and my base is trash compared to all of the amazing bases on here. Kudos to whoever's castle this is.

Above ground, we can build a station around where the carts stop (something small). I'll drop off some gold and silver later this afternoon when I get home (don't have too much tho ).
Glad that i'll have some more neighbors.
Great. I got a bunch of powered rail from Crispy so hopefully that will get us a good part of the way. I was originally thinking of building off of the existing lines but I think I will just start a new NE line from GAF Central since we're further out. Once I've got my area terraformed ill work a road down to you. Just mark where you want the station.

Mother earth weeps.
I think the problem is that no one really knows it's supposed to be protected. I didn't when I joined the server.
I was thinking we build the station in between us and the guy just north west of there.
See picture below.

I was thinking of just making a small train station, like below.
nothing too big.

Haha didn't even realize there was someone else up there. Sounds good and I'm down for a small station too. I need to go mining for more iron but I'll work on running the rails that way this weekend prolly.
Really? Yeah I was trekking all around this area after I took the train to Red Sand Inn and got lost in a hole. Dug my way back up and I saw the castle in the distance. Then I saw that new biome. Dem trees.
YO!-ing.

ChromaHills 128. I love it too, I was looking at some 256 and 512 packs, but I couldn't find any as nice as ChromaHills, and I couldn't get any 512 packs working. 128 is nice, never had a rpack like it before.

It is using a test version of forge, and a test version of GLSL shaders for 1.7.2. so keep that in mind if there are any glitches.

Yeah, we have a griefer on the server. Lots of little things like this happening.

I actually had to go ingame to pinpoint which one was missing.
Griefed or just forgotten?
I may have not noticed it if I accidentally broke it when I was copying the arch - a pick with efficiency cuts through quartz like butter

Damn! The stuff that has been built already in this world is unreal. The shader pack just brings it all together too.

This is semantics, and nothing more
OK, we've connected Nethera Falls to the main road, and placed signs leading the way from the spawn portal to the Falls. The path we built is a little ... wonky. But it works.
We've also destroyed the portal that was right next to Nethera Falls, so Morokh, you can destroy the portal that spawned right next to your territory if you'd like.
Also, for those who don't want to take the time to actually go to Nethera Falls, here's a screenshot I took. (The resource pack is John Smith Legacy.) There's another lava fall very similar to that nearby Nethera Falls, but no good platform to view it from. (At some point, when I'm feeling more ambitious, I'll connect a platform to view that other lava fall, and treat both as elements of Nethera Falls.)

Should we try to keep the rivers around spawn clear of obstruction? I was doing some exploring and couldn't navigate the rivers around spawn to get to open ocean. I think bridges would be the obvious solution. it would be pretty cool to have the rivers dredged a bit to make traveling easier and perhaps build a neogaf harbor/port to dock boats and other kinds of sailing vessels. Thoughts?

NihonTiger on NeoCraft - 75 - Interior Progress is now live.
I also reveal where I'm doing my build but you guys knew that because I already discussed it in the thread a few pages ago.

Think I'll keep it and use it for now actually, until I set one up properly myself.
Also, i've been trying some mob farms on the server, is it me or are they all really really slow ? mob spawning elsewhere seems fine for hard mode and I haven't seen chunks full of mobs at day.
Spend all evening yesterday building a little storage room, I must be 80% done ... xD that's what you get when you try to build something over-detailed .....(and it sure didn't help that I went quartz hunting in the middle of it)
The one near my location is pretty fast. Between pickle and UFC.

Just watched the last couple of episodes. Yeah if you wanna spruce up that enchantment tent I built next to you go for it. I thought it looked nice when spawn village was small and people were still building their houses bit it does look kinda basic now.
When I get access to the server will a kind soul help me around, as to where I can build my own house and how much land I got.
I might log in today to see if any of the two are online so I can get approved.
We're a bit aways from spawn but looking for neighbors. Plenty of room and wood and caves

dont wait for them to be online, just send CharmingCharlie a PM or post your minecraft username here, and one of them will get too it when they can.
also, we don't have any strict land rules, just make sure to respect other peoples builds. you can really build a house wherever you want, as long as its not messing with an existing build, or bothersome to potential neighbors.

Progress and plans thus far on my desert town.
- Outer wall and towers are marked out. Basic markings for the inner walls are down, no point marking it out anymore as it's pretty straight forward.
- Begun leveling off the space within the wall. My current plan is to shave the terrain down to Y: 74 (feet). This will allow variation in the landscape. The base of the wall will start at Y: 70 (feet) and will keep it at a uniform height. Since the surrounding terrain will vary from Y: 64-74 additional land conditioning will be required. Unsure if I'll do the moat, will have to see if I can make it work with the rolling terrain.
- Once the terrain is leveled I'll begin wall construction.
The wall construction and terrain leveling is my focus for now. Once this stage complete I'll be able to get a better grasp of what I have to work with.
Strong backs are welcome. If you're interested in helping give me a shout.

I'm also ending up with so many saplings from clearing out the forest by my off-spawn house I think I'll extend the arboretum further.

I'm in need of sand ... my location doesn't have any sand around for miles so i might come by with some shovels later today.
I've got a bunch of sand from stripping and turfing the desert--bug me about it and I'll toss it your way (I've been incinerating most of it.)
Even better, thanks Fuchs.

Hopefully an option to hide armor get added. I spent too long making my skin to be hid under ugly ass armor, lol.
Or a crafting recipe for armor + invis potion would be nice...

You're pretty close to my mine and Skelly spawner, and it need something new at the moment, so I'm up for assistance if you let us know what you need. Just digging out the land inside the wall for now? When you say y=74 do you mean when you're walking around on the ground your f3 will report y=74?
Might need to enchant a diamond shovel, not done that before
Maybe it's just because dirt and sand are everywhere so it seems like they deteriorate faster but I burn through even diamond shovels at an ungodly rate. Enchantments are the only thing that make it worth it.
On the subject of dirt, I need a ton of clay for the brick floor of my lodge. If people need sand, glass, stained glass in a variety of colors, cobble, spruce wood or dyes and are willing to trade clay for it let me know.
got the shaders working on a single player world, but couldn't connect to gafland - it shows up in the servers list but gives an exception when I try and connect. I would have thought that's because it is 1.7.2 and the server is on 1.7.4? But then how are other posters getting on Gafland with shaders? I'm using the 997 version of forge as recommended in the video
this is what I get with forge 997
this is what I get with forge 1002 (latest)
edit: seems to have been an optifine conflict - removed that and forge 997 worked ok

Feet position. Hit F3, it'll be the first "y" number.
Save your shovels where you can folks. On the big hills I clear out a two block high layer of sandstone, place down torches and then proceed to mine away the rest of the sandstone above. This lets the sand fall on the torches, saving you time and money.
Clay is a bitch to get now that the oceans are floored with gravel
Should still be plenty in swamp biomes no? They should definitely make clay a bit more common tho.
I've pretty much tapped out the clay in the swamp islands to the north of our area (someone had already cleared out one island, I've hit up the other.) Not sure where the other swamps are, I'll hafta' look on the map. By my calculations I need about 1200 clay to fulfill my needs.

ouch ... I build a brick house once ... never again. Looks real good tho.

The ocean bottom is the only change in 1.7 that I absolutely hate. No one needs more gravel, but I honestly loved diving to the ocean bottom and scavenging sand and clay, ESPECIALLY after they gave us the nice buff to Respiration and Aqua Affinity. I used to get most of my clay from ocean floors. You can still find clay in swamps and river beds, but it's not enough for a server IMHO.
I wonder if clay is generating underneath all of that gravel on the ocean floors, I've never actually checked for that....

you are likely to still get these errors occasionally. when i was taking those pics it crashed the game about 5 times. so obviously not a complete solution until a release build of forge for 1.7.2 is finished.
Hmm, I can't seem to connect? How do I do?
I go to multiplayer > direct connect > type in the address and then get this message:
EDIT:
I used the wrong address. I'm in now I think.
By the way, there are no monsters at night?
I also need somebody to guide me to a place where I can build my home.

At spawn there aren't so many mobs as it is lit up ok. Outside of the walls you can run into them pretty quickly.
As for where to build - just find an empty piece of land about the size of the house you want to build. Don't build literally one block away from another house, but that's common sense. Also you can't currently build on or dig up the Mesa out East from spawn
