Teleport Huts

[Mr. Analog]

When I was in Mootopia I had a couple of buckets, the rest of the ingredients were at Edge City so I figured what better way to say thanks

ALSO!!

Check out the message board

[Mr. Analog]

Well I got the main part of the Facade done this morning (I was a minin' last night)

I used SipsCo brand scaffolding to great effect.

I suspect we're gonna need some more glass, so bring sand if you got it

Without the roof on it's 16 blocks high, each large window (excluding the main window facing east) is 11 blocks high. I plan on having skylights as well probably in banks of 6 to 8.

I'll get the walls up first and I'll figure out the roof later.

Looks fantastic.

[Mr. Analog]

Thanks very much!!

The only really tricky bit was I had to build ladders rather than use my usual way of getting down from high places (aka water) turns out in this wintery zone water turns into a brick lol

Normally I just nerd pole up with bricks and then waterslide down (whee!)

But ladders work too

Also the 16 block height is just about perfect, I can't wait to get the rest done (tonight maybe!)

I'll have to teleport to Mootopia and get some wool for the checkerboard floor

[Thorin]

That looks really nice!

Yeah, I don't like snow biomes, just because I don't like the snow covering everything all the time.  The landing pad freezing is an unfortunate side effect, too.

The main floor is going to line up with those door holes, right?  I'll have to lift the Tele-Portals up a few blocks then.

That looks really good Mr A!

But I'm a tad worried about light levels. Do you think it'll be easy to keep it from being overrun by mobs at night? Redstone Lamps in the floor perhaps?

Thanks brotha! It was a lot of fun designing the exterior (so far, lots left to do )

Yeah the floor is going to be raised two blocks, so ... I know you wanted to move stuff anyway. Likely what I will do is complete everything but the floor and we can sort out where stuff is going.

Thanks man! yeah I'm thinking it will be bright enough, I'll be adding chandeliers to keep light levels up in the ceiling and there will be a lot of torches / glowstone around the interior.

If you look how they light Grand Central Terminal you'll see they have lamp posts inside the building, I may do them like the shorter version of the light standards in Edge City with white wool and torches or glowstone blocks. I'll see what looks good once I get the floor in.

We'll work it out

Edit: IF ONLY fences conducted redstone!!

[Thorin]

Or just load it up with ocelots and iron golems

[Mr. Analog]

Problem Solver 5000!

[Thorin]

Wow, you're really building!

[Mr. Analog]

I know hey!

I was really mining last night too

[Thorin]

As for your edit about redstone transmission, I'd say just put in glowstone and leave it lit all day and all night.

edit: glowstone is a pain in the butt to get!

[Mr. Analog]

I found a nice big clump of it in a nether cave...

SCORE!

[Thorin]

If we had villagers, we could start trading with them for it...

[Mr. Analog]

Villager prices are UNREASONABLY EXPENSIVE
