  2. Really hoping to build up the mines. (I need lots more resources.) If anyone has any ideas/feedback to help improve your experience in the mines please let me know!
  3. This project is just amazing. If I didn't hate mining I would join you for sure :)

  4. Just saying, as one of the miners, it is truly a fantastic idea. The implementation is the system is spot on and works well. There has been no problems that haven't been resolved in a timely manner (if any problems at all). You do earn as much as this thread says if not more. While I haven't really met up with some of the other miners (#AustralianTimezonesRuinsAllTheFun), seeing the leaderboards etc really motivates you to get out there and do some more mining. The AutoSwitch mod also helps a ton and makes mining so much more pleasant. I love this so much I can't exactly put it into words, hence this masterpiece of a post! Come join us!

  5. Bump again xDD Always looking for new miners.
  6. I really admire the professionalism of this setup!

    I've been thinking of doing more mining again, but I'm intrigued to get the same fun with twice the hourly payout, hehe.

    Primary SMP: SMP5
    
    ## Equipment
    - What pickaxes do you have already?
      - Heavily damaged Efficiency 3 + Silk Touch. Will need new set very soon.
    - What armour do you have already?
      - Diamond full set. 10-20% dmg
    
    ## Comprehension
    - What mod do we use to speed up mining?
      - None? The mod mentioned in the first post is not on the wikipage anymore.
    - What are the 3 Ls for passages above?
      - Level Ground, Lighting, Lava-free
    - What is the deposit to start mining and what does it cover?
      - 14,000 r
    - How many blocks between each hall with chests?
      - 250
    - What do you do with mined goods?
      - Put into minecart, write report
    - What do you have to worry about when filling in holes after mining ores?
      - Keep ground level, free from liquids, etc.
    
    ## Experience
    - What ores can you expect to find in a mine?
      - Lapis Lazuli, with max probability at 13-16 and linearly decreasing above
      and below.
      - Diamonds, 1 vein/chunk. Spawns below 16.
      - Emeralds in Extreme Hills.
      - Iron, coal, redstone, gold, all valuable.
      - !Have a crafting table to save space with redstone/coal/lapis
    - How can you quickly neutralize a pool of lava?
      - Waterbucket on top. When mining obsidian, make sure water is flowing onto
      it, so if the block is mined, the water extinguishes the lava below before it
      can destroy the obsidian block.
    - What can you do to quickly mine through the top layer of obsidian?
      - See above post. Use a high-efficiency pick and *do not move* while mining.
    - What should you do if you fall into a pool of lava?
      - Get out! Place a dirt block to help jumping, if necessary. And have a
      Waterbucket handy.
    - What should you do in a situation where you are swarmed with mobs and almost
    dead?
      - Run? Kill creepers first? If I die, avoid equipment falling into lava.
      Remember coordinates.
    - What should be done before mining diamonds?
      - Remove all the Blocks surrounding then to prevent them falling into lava,
      obviously.
    - Should you ever mine the block directly above/below you?
      - No. In almost all circumstances, not.

  7. If I got one DC of diamond and iron how much money would I get?
  8. This is a mining operation. Not a shop :) he would probably buy them off of ya though depending. Try pming him about it or starting another thread to sell em :) for someone that's only been on the forums since January that's pretty impressive though

  10. About 371k rupees from mining the full DC. I will add that I have constantly found it easier to get many more resources much faster in the mining layout Azoundria has set up, it is an extremely professional and well thought out setup.
  11. Can't get hold of him. Is he still hireing ?
  12. Sweet! I'm around tonight for a few hours. I guess it's wee hours there though. And tomorrow morning, which will be your afternoon. So I guess the earliest we can train you is the weekend.

    Regarding AutoSwitch, it used to be there. I don't see it on the disallowed mod list. There was a long period of time (several months around 1.7) when the mod didn't work on Minecraft, so it may have been removed from the list for that reason. I assume if it were moved to be disallowed there would be an announcement or at least a listing on the disallowed mods list, and I've sought clarification from chickeneer. In the meantime, I'm going based on the fact that it was acceptable to use previously and I had prior permission to use it. The mod is not required, but very very helpful. It doesn't give any unfair advantage, just switches to the right tool as you're mining, so I don't see why it would be disallowed.

    It's easier to carry around planks than a crafting table. Planks can make a crafting table, or torches, or chests if you really run out of space (then you can mine the next tunnel 5 blocks over and grab from the chest on your way back).

    Always hiring. Actually hoping to build up a serious team again. Got your application! Thanks.

    Edit:
  13. I'm gonna have to spread the wings on my lead then, maybe top the charts with number of reports and distance mined too lol.
  14. Great! Let's do the training on the coming weekend then. Roughly how much time will that take (more like half an hour or more like 6?)

    PS: @azoundria: By the way, you need to restock azoundria4's cash, I sold you a few DCs of stone & netherbrick ;)
  15. How long it takes is going to depend on how fast you catch on. Considering your posts I would guess an hour to two hours. again, its going to depend on how fast you learn. Also, if you are like me and ask a million questions it could make it take longer lol.
  16. It's about an hour - leave an hour and a half to be safe.

    I'll get more money on there in a bit. ^.^
  17. Glad to be on the team! Time to tackle your highscore, Gawadrolt :D
  18. You sure did start off strong. Glad I got to mine with ya this morning
