Good news I have a design fix for Pigmentus. Just was testing it out while chatting with Keph, and I explained it to him also. We only lose 4 portals per unit with this fix. Piggies happily have many more places to walk off of portals into water streams. It shouldn't cause any more lag than a traditional gold farm (heck, it's way smaller than a traditional afk gold farm, so it should cause LESS). Build team for Pigmentus, I will send you all a screenshot of the fix. Sunday evening/night good for you all? If not, can do it next night or whenever we are all around. We're going to need more packed ice, glass or some building block for walls, and some signs. No trapdoors needed. Ta da. Bring eff5 dia picks bc we will be removing some obsidian. Let's just do 1 unit and test it out on emc. If it seems good, then we can do the other 3 units. Cheers all
I would love to see a pic of this on what you are planning to do since I won't be in game for the next 5 billion years
I work today and tomorrow, and you know I get long shifts when I do work so I'll likely not be EMCing those days. Still keep me posted and if I can help, I will.
As I said, I wish I could help, but I can't, sorry but right now I am going to be on steam if ANYONE needs me, got it? GOT IT <3
One quarter of Pigmentus is back up and running with the fix. I'll work on completing this over the next few nights. Walrus is gonna kill me because I messed his design all up with the fix. We are working out here, so please, if you could NOT be out at Pigmentus for a few days, it would be much appreciated (if you aren't on this build team - we need them here ). Thanks all.
I'm glad that there is progress being made regarding Pigmentus. I hope it will soon be operational and running as well as ever (without breaking EMC, that is. )
Pigmentus is now at 50% fixed. I'm trying to do 25% a day on it Can you go there and use it? Well.... It is operational, but a lot of stuff is exposed such as the packed ice. You break it, you bought it. Plus, you will die a terrible death when a hundred angry piggies rain down on your head. If you can wait 2 more days, wait please. Thank you all! Special thanks to friendypig who ran out with an eff5 dia pick for me to borrow when I derped and forgot mine!
FYI, there are blazes spawning in the last "safe room" at the nether farm. Not a huge deal but I've seen it happen a few times now.
Pigmentus is now fully operational if not completely finished. The build team does need to protect the packed ice and redecorate. Please PLEASE note that if you break the packed ice, water and pigmen will flood out all over and kill you. So really, either wait a few days for the build team to cover the packed ice, or be SUPER CAREFUL while you are there until that is done. Many thanks to MagisterDelirius, Jadzia, ChrisFlareon, and FriendyPig for your help! Woot woot!
An apparent redstone bug in the server itself seems to have broken the zombie grinder's button mechanism. Dub and I were out there trying to determine what was wrong before the server restart itself indicated a bug in redstone mechanics. We are restoring the machine and grinder right now. I have to get extra redstone to replace a part I accidentally broke, so excuse the missing redstone block and torch. They are returning. EDIT: The machine works again, but the button has been replaced with a lever because I couldn't get it quite as efficient with my lackluster redstone skills. The lever will make up for a lack of sustained redstone signals. I'm contacting Zrugite and mailing leftover materials to him in the meanwhile to explain the messup...
There was a minor griefing out at Slime Time. Some of the builder heads were taken, along with the Slime Time book, a few flower pots, and it looks like they broke into the walls to go mining in a few places. Everything is repaired except ChumMiner's and Agennt's heads. When you all get a chance, feel free to go out there and put your heads back up. Many thanks to Shyguy for finding and reporting the griefing and for help repairing, and to BigDavie for coming out to take the report (and especially for my head! thank you!). Cheers all
All hail Agennt, corruptedsmile, Cadenmann, and Dufne! Pigmentus is back to 100% and open to all. Thanks P.S. Please do NOT afk there. You afk, and the lag will build. Don't even hang out within 96 blocks of that place. Okay everyone? Cheers!
I was on my way to Pigmentus and when I arrived I found someone griefing it... No worries they are banned now, but he took a quite a lot of stuff. Minecarts (I replaced some), ench table, anvils, a lot of the heads out front, and I am looking for more things that were taken. I will try to replace some of these items EDIT: Also, it looks like this person griefed the iron farm too, so that needs to be fixed...
has anyone found a blaze spawner? edit: i found a new fortress this is our last hope anyone want to assemble a teamed go out there next weekend please contact me
Ok, corrupted and myself have fixed almost everything. All that still needs fixed is the rail and heads (khixan, JadziaForever, Myself and ChrisFlareon). And I think that is it! Edit: Rails are fixed, now just heads needed from everyone.
Thank you guys! I am rewriting my resume in this crazy format one recruiter wants today. This is going to be 8 pages long by the time I am done, ugh. I appreciate you all taking care of the builds! We are registered with GRIP so hit them up if anything is difficult to replace. Thanks again
