Giesta The Punk Rock Princess Giesta This one seems to be hanging on pretty well, though I admit this one of the few Guilds I am in thats active. 3nodding I have another question though it might be somewhat hard to answer. I know there are Skeleton Archers, Creepers and Zombies and they come out at night and or in dark places not illuminated but I havent heard much about where you find "Slimes" at? lol, that is the question of the hour. I've actually been having a difficult time finding them myself. They only spawn in special segments, you know that the landscape is sectioned out in "chunks"? Well, it seems to be random which chunks they spawn in and they only spawn 40 units away from bedrock, or the very very bottom of the world. I see they are somewhat difficult to find then, I was wondering about them because this leads to another question I have. You know they have piston and sticky pistons well I have heard to make a sticky piston you need slime so I though you have to get slime from smiles? You do have to get it from them, but if you get a cave really low down in the ground, you'll find them eventually. You should look up slime traps on youtube too, some of those can be helpful. Sticky pistons and pistons allow for automatic harvesting machines like tree harvesters, and you can use them to find caves because they can push 12 blocks at a time, so you'll know if there is a hollow space within 12 blocks of you if the piston pushes it forward. Those are two examples, like I said, I'm not overly mechanically minded, so redstone and piston machines aren't really my forte. emotion_donotwant

(A side-project for later after I got plenty of materials.) I think I can use some red-stone, but it will be difficult till I study it a bit I have a basic idea how it works just not the exact-ness of putting it together.

So much fun. I like redstone lamps too. Get some glowstone and a switch and you can turn your lights on and off. biggrin

I know it will wait till they update it for us on the console, but I will be happy to get glowstone even if I have to go to creepy Neather and get it and RUN LIKE MAD !!!!!!!!!!!! to get back threw a portal. xd

I wish they'd go cross platform and let PC players and Xbox players play together, but it's probably not happening. Though I think my bro wants to get it for Xbox too just cos we love this game so much, so I might be able to play on a server with u once it releases!

I would love to play with anyone here who would like to and would be interested in having some adventures. 3nodding I am thinking it maybe a future thing that they want it to do cross platform to the PC so people can play from both sides, though yes I think they will have a set amount of servers for XBox Live Play not sure exactly how that is going to work, I have heard as many as 8 players at one time in one game and as well 4 player split-screen for normal games though I can think of how that will work so much. sweatdrop

My bro and I just run around mining together because we are both introverts and don't like the idea of griefers. XD They will eventually have nice things for the Xbox players tho, I'm sure, and possibly even be different from the PC in ways. That's why we are planning on getting a copy for the console, though we share the Xbox so it won't be as fun unless we can find nice online people to play with.

The biggest thing I know thats different is the Crafting, it is basically going to be a Recipe Book style of Crafting it shows you what you need to make things and as long as you have the materials you can "Click" to create the items instead of placing the materials in a crafting boxes.

Huh. That actually gives me split emotions because I like having to know the pattern every single time you use it, but that hearkens back to the days of Harvest Moon for me, so... razz lol

I dunno, I guess it looks pretty cool, my bro says he watched a demo video and they made it look nice. It would be tedious if you had to do it the way the PC has you do it, just because the cursor is slower.

It does look very cool and the vids on Youtube show so many neat things so far about how it will look and that it will have a Tutorial for new users who need help with everything. 3nodding

I play this game for more hours a week than I'd like to admit. sweatdrop So is there anything else you'd like to know? I could post the design I found for the perfect wheat field if you'd like to use it, I wouldn't mind. emotion_dowant

I guess I would like to ask, as far as Cacti go they only need sand for soil to grow on and water & sunlight to grow?

This is a design I found and changed a little bit for convenience's sake, it optimizes the growth of wheat so you get as much as possible quickly as possible. The "T" squares are Torch blocks, I put them on cobblestone, and the "W" blocks are water holes I dig down one and put a stone slab over in order to be able to walk on it. whee
