  1. Gold farm? Never known of one out there
  2. Yep been there, Nice farm but kinda annoying that the collection chest is locked.
  3. You stand on the pads therefore locking the hoppers so you'll get the iron. The chests there contain a bunch of junk and some spare slots of collecting iron. That means if I am out there doing maintenance the iron isn't chucked on the floor. I should probably label it clearer :rolleyes:
  4. Expanding to a public iron, gold, slime, mob and xp farm :D Gold farm first and then we fix up the abandoned slime farm adjacent to the mob farm
    Currently buying a DC of obsidian in a reverse auction here

  6. You'd be surprised :rolleyes:

  9. Finished the gold farm {pending thread by MissFable} and made a hub for all the thread as I would like to have a discussion area for each one :)
  10. I just went out there for the first time in years, and has it changed! I noticed a few things that could be improved, and saw some things I didn't really like.. I hope you don't mind me sharing them here:
    • The entrance is not marked in the nether entrance, nor is there a guide on how to get there in this thread. I think you could clean up this thread with a step-by-step explanation on how to get there, with a few pictures to assist with understanding.
    • At the edge of the nether spawn protected area on the east side, you have signs saying "This area is owned by fBuilderS and ForeverMaster0". This might be an opinion that only I share, but you don't own an area.. especially one right next to bordering the spawn. Sure, you own the build, but unless you have a claim, do you really own the area? It made me feel as though I don't have permission to break any blocks or build anything in that general area.. felt a little like factions?
    • I noticed the farm didn't have much direction on how to get to different places such as the surface. I, and many other players, have locked chests there and otherwise don't know how to access them once the design has been changed. In short, I think the farm could use a lot more organization.
    • Some of the spots on the surface are missing pumpkins, allowing skeletons and other pesky mobs to spawn.. a few can be found at (-375x, 65y, -420z)
    • I noticed that you made an honorable mention to NZScruffy, who originally constructed the area and farm, but it made me feel kind of sick that you were publicizing why a player quit, or rather on hiatus, even if the publicized reason were to be true.
    • The thread could use a lot of organization, with directions, an intro, or maybe just some pretty pictures. I think it may be a good idea to finish one thread before creating others.
    I think it's a great thing that you're undertaking this role to restore and maintain this farm, and hope you will to do so in the future! I believe this will please a lot of us SMP5ers, as well as the rest of the server. I know I am!

    Time to go farm for some iron!

  11. I've just gone along and fixed up some creeper holes... I wonder who did that? Please, do only use the entrance through the nether, we've been dealing with a lot of griefing/creepers recently. Until further notice, way through the nether is the only way that should be used by the public.
    Here's how to get from the spawn to the farm, if you don't know.
  12. This place is awesome! Thanks so very much for building it. I would totally try to build one on SMP4, but I'm not sure I could take doing all that work than being griefed.
  13. I remember that farm. The only negative: afk players.
  14. Both of the entrances was nicely marked but someone handily removed the signs. I didn't mean it in that way, more of a heads up for if they wanted to tell the owners that theres been a grief. I'm working on the new route upstairs, but I left the maintenance doors open so its still accessable. Someone also handily removed the pumkins too. I mentioned NZ for the fact that he must have spent AGES making the farm, I guess some of it wasn't necessary. I need to find some time to do work on the thread, at the moment {as you know} theres lots of builds that need doing ;)

  15. For some reason the speed of the farm has been massively increased about a week ago, making it really awesome! :D I can afk a lot, but often there are already other people using it = good, I'm happy to know many people are having fun from this farm. :)
