  1. I refilled some of them today but many get robbed too. I will try to refill some more during the next days.
    In case anyone needs torches to make their place or other places creeper safe, just PM me or any other member of the creeper safety foundation (list on the LLO site).

  4. TNT as fireworks, Mrlegitislegit performing, no parade, music from music disks, and releasing mobs everywhere (not at the people)

  5. Zulu I was wondering if I could connect the blue line with the bridge and it can run over that?

  6. I plan on two station at the western platform and probably one at he over/underground intersection.
    I wish to make the western hub connected to as many lines as possible. Can you mark on the rail map where you think a connection to the blue line would be best?

  7. Maybe the line over the bridge can be the blue line and it would run straight to central station?

  8. How far up will this blue line be? The bridge will get some large pillars as it should resemble the golden gate bridge.
    So unless the blue line will run above cloud level it would kinda ruin the view :/

  9. Eaze with the work and listen this master piece :D
  10. I think he means the track that is being laid on the bridge can be the blue line. At the moment there isn't a blue line just some wool at grand central and a sign saying don't make changes.

  11. Nice calculations. What about slabs for the suspension wires? It might be tricky, but using a combination of regular slabs and upside-down slabs could possibly be used to make a thin "wire" (for the sloping wires, not the vertical ones). It would look better than using regular blocks I think.

  13. So was looking at the views at the LLO the number is 45,427 out of 45,258 members have look at this. Which awesome and meaning that most EMC respects the LLO community I do believe Zulu your experiment is a success :D.

    -sidenote- " I don't know where the extra 169 came from but owell"
  14. I have some, a little over a stack...how much do you need...I can get more clay around where I'm at right now.

  15. Oh right. That would make much more sense. And seems like a good idea.

    Also the "bridge" line will turn northwards shortly after the bridge to connect to the northern jungle / Yeti village line. Large parts of the tunnel are already dug out and another smaller station near the library is planned.

  16. I can get working on extending the blue line to reach the bridge. Also maybe the lines from the North/Yeti Village can be extended to the Olympic Park mega station and they can meet up with the blue line there?

  17. I would like to announce the official opening of the Little Toronto station on the Level 9 Rail System! There are two shafts down to the rail. Please only use the down one for going down and the up one for going up. Feel free to use it anytime!

  18. I've started working on the suspension wires. I did the part that goes from the land-side to the tower (not the center one that droops down, I'm going to do that one next).

    I used GIMP to draw a line that sloped at the right angle, and then zoomed in all the way to see the pixels. I used stone slabs for the top wire and wooden fencing for the vertical wires. If anyone is online, I could use a lot more stone slabs and fencing.

    Next, I'm going to work on the center wires. These were tricker to calculate, but I think I got something that looks right. It was hard because they're not a straight line--they droop down towards the center.

  19. Actually I think zulu's right. Brick is a fairly rare block, we should avoid using mass quantities of it. Thanks anyway though. If you have smooth stone, I could use it though.

  20. And here is the drooping part!
