  1. What's Cooking with SMP8 Public Wild Utilities?
    For those who want to know what's done, what we're currently doing, and what's coming up in the next few months.

    What's Been Done Recently
    • The Wild End Dragon Slaying Arena! Many thanks to everyone who volunteered and/or donated :)
    • Lots of minor griefings lately. All are getting fixed as fast as we can.
    What's In Progress
    • The Fe(II) kill chamber and collection redesign. This actually hasn't started yet, but it is #1 on the list of priorities to get done next.
    • Slime Time is being renovated due to a griefing. The entire Wild South complex is going to be transferred to Slvr and Walrus. They are going to keep the builds public. It's too much for me to run 4 different areas. The slime farm and squid farm will eventually be rebuilt out at Wild North. If you want to help repair and redo Slime Time, please contact Slvr and AverageWalrus or just post here on this thread. They could use some help with that. I believe TBird is already assisting.
    • Find a great slime chunk/s at Wild North at least 100 blocks away from the other builds.
    • Find a witch hut at Wild North if at all possible.
    What's coming up in the future?
    • ThaKloned has offered to do a witch hut build for SMP8 Public Wild Utilities. We need a good witch hut location. Ideally, it would be somewhere in the vicinity of the other public builds (or at least Wild North). This project needs a location and then the planning phase can begin. If you know of a good location, or have a location you'd like to donate, please hit me up!
    • Slime farm at Wild North.
    • Squid farm at Wild North. I need a technical designer with experience on EMC making squid farms please.
    • Wither killing area. Prometha brought up this idea before, and Tuq has raised it again. Corruptedsmile already has a challenge/fun wither killing area. This idea is more about a fast easy efficient wither killing spot. It has many challenges to it. The wither is destructive. The wither's behavior changes with player difficulty settings. Etc. This one is solely in the "throwing ideas around" stage.
    • The Nether Public Utilities Express. This one is likely far in the future. We have other more pressing priorities. Redo all the transportation and put it in the Nether for faster public utility access. Rail, horse, and ice boat transport options. This would also involve perfectly linked nether portals, which is a thing you can google if you've no idea what I'm on about. Having players wind up in Pigmentus unexpectedly would be bad LOL. We'd leave the roads at at Wild North, and NHG is fine as is. The North rail though would be removed and replaced by a Wild North Nether Portal transport hub. Each build at North would get its own "drop off" portal.
    That's everything I can think of for now. If you're interested in any of these projects, please post here on this thread. "In Progress" projects take priority over the future projects, so please, have some patience if your interest is for a future one
    Slime Time is temporarily closed for a renovation due to a griefing. This will take awhile to get fixed. Thank you for your patience.
  2. I would be interested in helping out with the witch hut build and wither killing area in the future!

  6. Lil_Spartan_Cat - Thank you! I will pester you in the future once those projects get underway (may be a month or more, just FYI). If you want to start looking on live map up at Wild North for a witch hut, go for it. Thanks!

    Dice and Ben - Thank you! Which ones would you like to be pestered about please?

    crazyminerpete - Thank you! I will contact you when we get to doing that project in the future. No timeline for it yet, so I'm not sure when. That one may be a few months even.

  11. khixan I have an improvement on your Guardian Farm So basiclly i know that a hopper minecart cant travel if your too far from that chunk but if we placed Hopper minecarts all underneath the floor *Keep The Floor where they Fall* and so when they die the Hopper minecarts will pick it up put it into another hopper and then it will put it in a chest so we dont have so much item lag

  14. The farm is not an afk farm.We discussed this kind of idea already and we won't do it.

    Also, when we start the witch farm, sign me up. I'm up for some overworld digging.

  16. Thanks Proxy, but we will never be doing that at Sushi Drop. It's a public build and it is not meant to be an AFK farm.

    Someone go find me a witch hut, preferably at Wild North, and we'll start pursuing that project! Thank you all for the offers of help :D

  17. JAW DROPS! Mother of the gods Stew, thank you!
  18. The Public Witch Hut Build is ON now!
    ThaKloned has found the witch hut at Wild North. I am starting the conversation for the build. ThaKloned is in charge of all technical aspects (since I don't know what the heck I'm doing with a witch build - zero experience). Many thanks to AmusedStew for putting up prize money towards finding a suitable witch hut!

    My list of volunteers so far for this project:
    ThaKloned
    Lil_Spartan_Cat
    ChickenDice
    Jadziaa
    BenMA
    ProxyPD
    tuqueque
    WitherDoggie
    crazy_9977

    If you want to volunteer for the witch hut build, please post on this thread and I will add you to the convo that I am starting shortly. Bring your picks and shovels please! Thank you all!
