SMP8 Public Wild Utilities

I got to help my son with homework and a school project tonight, so I've missed all the "fun". Thank you everyone for helping out with grief reports and repairs!!! <3

Lac and John, thank you! I'd love to have you guys on the repair and/or inspection team. I have a copy pasta spiel I normally send to folks who are interested in PWU. It needs updating. Badly. Let me sort that out tomorrow, and I'll send that and answer any questions either of you might have.

The copy pasta describes each build. It also in a nutshell says any way you want to help is welcomed! I have people who only do 1 build. For example, Merek inspects Pigmentus regularly. That's it; that's his thing. Other folks want to learn all the builds and inspect/repair them all. Others only handle rail or redstone repairs. Etc. So there are many many options. You tell me what you want to do, and then I'll get you the information you need to do it effectively. Thank you!

Another report on the Fe(II) update:

The golems simply aren't dying. They are just building up in the hopper area.

This is causing tremendous lag. I think it is caused by the fact there is only one lava source at the moment, so I'll put another one it to check.

I will update this once done.

Edit:

It's still not working. About to check the lava blades that initially hurt them.

Double Edit:

All lava from the southern blade has gone, all but two sources from the northern have gone as well. Will replace now.

Please let me know if there is anything you guys need donated. Rupees or items. List them here or pm me I would like to help out as well. I have many resources just collecting dust.

Toto, the lava blades are 13 blocks long. There is also lava up top in the middle so golems die but their drops don't burn up for AFK usage. Thank you!

I just heard some damage was done to the new Nether Express build. I know this is getting annoying folks with one grief after another. The PWU has been active for almost 2 years. We'll be still be here after this ninny runs out of alts or money. We're losing some time having to do all these repairs, but we're gaining community and staff support. We'll be stronger when it's over, thank you for your help and support <3

jesseqw - Thank you! The one thing I know we're now out of is regular rail and powered rail. All the rail we had went to repairs instead of the new Nether Express project. I think we're also low on clay bricks between the Fe(II) renovation and now the repairs. We don't need much of those. I just like to have a stack or two on hand in case of problems. The rail, we're really going to NEED. There are donation bins on smp8 for PWU at /v khixan 3 PWU. Many thanks!

I will work on getting some to you tonight. I have to make them but have all the stuff needed.

i think we need a temporary rule: if u build or repair stuff @ PWU or PWU entrance (thats peppers area, right?) then u mention it here first. maybe we can get peppers support for that rule 2.

that can help us recognize ppl who are doing stuff which they should not be doing (i hope). gonna do a surprise check round soon (i try 2 check all pwu every day 4 issues now, hope we can catch those ninnys!).

EDIT:

I found possible minor grief @ pigmentus: hole in the floor @ room with the anvil. gonna repair that in 20 or so min (as soon as i got mats).

Great minds think alike Aya because that's not a temporary rule. That's very close to what's already a real rule. Re-read your welcome to PWU copy pasta
For any griefs, please do a report with the mods and post about it on the official thread that I linked above. Let everyone know if you're able or unable to repair it.

I can't control Pep's place, and if he wants to do something like that, he should make his own thread. Otherwise we'll be back to people thinking that area is PWU's, and that just causes mass confusion for Peps and the mods. We already found that out a year or more ago Some of it can be backtracked through early entries on this thread.

Speaking of repairs -
Bobby and I confirmed Toto (I'm guessing Toto) repaired Fe(II). All seems operational there again. I did not check the villagers or for any mis-spawned golems. Chris and I repaired the rail "pause" for Fe(II) also. Third was going to repair the food farm when I left for dinner.
Bobby and I also fixed 3 Grinders. All 3 are operational again.

I'm headed back online now to see what else still needs repairs. Thanks everyone! <3

if you could come to smp8 . i have the stuff but your donation chest is slow lol

I'm coming I'm coming LOL. On /v khixan 3 PWU there are 4 donation DCs you can dump stuff in for greater ease too.

Welcome JohnKid to the PWU maintenance team! Thank you very much for volunteering!
I'm updating the OP now and then heading to Jesse.

Delivered and hope that will help you guys out.

Whenever there is a griefing I just kind of hover about and help if I can (I normally only fix up the floor and stuff at wild n )

I was the one that actually attempted to repair it first.

I have stacks a and stacks of
Packed ice from my build on smp7 I can tackle the ice boat roads

You know what I said about Fe(II)? Apparently I lied. Bottom unit on 1 stack griefed, villagers all missing, and A LOT of golems built up where the were stuck. The lag was horrid.
JohnKid and I are fixing that now.

Luigi, your statue turned out awesome! love it man, ty ty
When you get a chance, remove your temp build chest from the road there pls.

Welcome Lacronton to the PWU maintenance team! Thank you very much for volunteering!

Thank you for allowing me to assist. I am performing anti-grief inspections on the current rail system in order to keep it from being griefed again.

I've always loved seeing what PWU has done, And seeing them all work together to accomplish something big and breath taking build that helps the community. With everyone helping they get stuff done And I love what they do and I am willing to lend a helping hand whenever you guys need it

-Thanks PWU for all the builds

Not to be annoying, but someone has destroyed a tunnel that I and many other players have used for a very long time. I believe it is related to FeII. The portal going out of Wild North used to have a good tunnel to a few different players private outposts. Someone completely destroyed the tunnel linking up to the top where I get to my rail. I don't know who took the initiative to do this and I don't want to get staff involved. I am sure someone was well meaning, but this is a real problem. Please explain if you were involved and help me get things fixed back to what it was.
