Minecraft tonight (every night?)

Thorin · June 26, 2012, 03:19:11 PM

Two days in a row of absolutely _nothing_ for me to take kids to. That means I'll be playin' me some Minecraft tonight! Not entirely sure what I want to work on, though. Maybe it's time to do something with all that sandstone and sand, or maybe I should dig out an underground wool farm? I started shearing sheep in my barn last night and I have about three stacks of wool now, but it's kinda crowded in the barn with 10-12 sheep plus cows plus pigs plus chickens.

Has anyone seen any good (semi-)automatic wool farms?

Could it be time for another good ol' cave crawl?

Maybe, yeah. What time, 8ish?

Not sure about tonight, I had to give a lot of blood today, already getting tired again.

Havin' 20 sheep in one paddock is noisy, but also makes for a lot of wool to be sheared! I think I'm at 13 stacks (3 from last night, 10 from tonight). Adds up quick with sheep dropping 2-3 per shearing.

Now, what to build, what to build.

Only 20? http://youtu.be/OsSAnLbpcR4?t=1m4s I was watching these last night.

Holy butt!

Holy ... Sheep! Although the paddock in my barn's a lot smaller (5x12?), and it feels almost as crowded with the cows in with the sheep.

I was up waaaaaaaaay past my bedtime last night, wrapped at 1:30~

Adding balconies and fussy little details takes time, but when you have a pretty shader it just flies... :B

Hah, I was gonna go on but then saw it was 10:45pm and knew if I started I'd be on until 4am. And I was way too tired already yesterday to work today on only three hours of sleep. So for once I made the smart choice and went to sleep.

An' yeah, it's all the little details that take a long time, _especially_ when one can't just fly up somewhere.

that's the tricky bit right there is adding stuff once the build is done.

I want to build a construction site and a tower crane but from previous experience working with fences it may very well be deadly.

The urge to toggle creative is very strong for that bit.
