Perhaps - although raised platforms or at least raised dirt areas with sheer edges are nice and easy to make safe.

Another thing is the ocean there will probably be quite vast, and in fact is the best place for a trap to be built. We could have a causeway to it from the city or some such.

Cowboy · 12th September 2011, 12:09

Quite mountainous

Bit of water, looking back at spawn across that lake there.

Lots of sand

mpx · 12th September 2011, 12:09

That looks good to me, mowing down those trees just means we'll have a good supply of wood. :D

mpx · 12th September 2011, 12:11

What about NZGames seed? Is that one any better?

Cowboy · 12th September 2011, 12:11

Woo, there's a village over there on the right.

Is the map chunk generation the same when using the same seed as well? That's what generates for me anyway.

Cowboy · 12th September 2011, 12:14

NZGames seed. Looks a bit better.

mpx · 12th September 2011, 12:29

Hmm, I like the layout of the NZG seed spawn point a bit more. Would be good to have some natural water around, etc...

I hope the spawned village stays in tact :P

Yeah, there's certainly more going on. "NZGames" would give us an easier construction platform with a shitload more trees but it's much more bland.

Whatever people want I'm not too fussed.

TB · 12th September 2011, 13:28

You want a seed? Try the one 1.8 gave me.... its interesting. 6728760965420256006

crocos · 12th September 2011, 13:42

I like Seldom's point about needing an ocean nearby for optimal trap building. Any seed with a nearby ocean gets my vote.

crocos · 12th September 2011, 13:51

Not JUST ocean - I said NEARBY ocean.

mpx · 12th September 2011, 13:55

My favourite seed is still, "Pornography" :P It's awesome.

TB · 12th September 2011, 13:56

The idea of having everyone is a survival situation would sure make things interesting.

pxpx · 12th September 2011, 14:22

Pics of the porno seed?

I prefer the NZG seed to the NZGames seed, 'interesting' terrain always trumps flat terrain; also with that high bit, it allows for newcomers to get a high vantage point safely and see out further.

Think we should go for 8:00pm release day? The best time for a new world is when everyone joins at the same time and there's that initial struggle to get safe and established!

Cowboy · 12th September 2011, 15:07

Pornography seed

crocos · 12th September 2011, 15:12

IMO that actually looks like a pretty good starting seed. Seaside based, trees, desert biome nearby for sand, some interesting terrain including a swamp biome. Building on flat earth is EASY, but it can be a bit boring.

crocos · 12th September 2011, 15:19

Oh wait - that's just shallows, not swamp.

BoyWonder · 12th September 2011, 15:24

I'm down with pornography

We could make bridges linking up the islands / land masses jutting out at the bottom

crocos · 12th September 2011, 15:34

So - a possibly controversial suggestion / question:

Do we go Creative (or at least Peaceful) for the first week or so until we can get traps and some common infrastructure in-place?

BoyWonder · 12th September 2011, 15:48

Well that would help with town planning

I wasn't around at the start of the current server but I can imagine the rush to set up shelters was chaotic.

fuck no!

gotta just be normal at the start... part of teh fun.....
I remember my first logon to this current server: it was right on dusk... panic!!!! Just build myself a pillar of sand and stood on that until dawn.... all part of the fun.

Cowboy · 12th September 2011, 15:59

I assume leave it as normal to start then perhaps temp switch to peaceful just to get the main drop trap done?

Having never built one I don't know what they're like to make in normal mode.

OK to build if you're being cautious, but damn near impossible to repair.

IMO if we had a pile of sticky-pistons & redstone available then we could build it so that each section/floor could be blocked until it's time to bring it on-line - or needs to be taken off-line.

Spiders climb now...

Similar for me, except I dug a hole and sealed myself in.

Waldo · 12th September 2011, 16:51

spiders still cant walk upside down so a 1x wide lip stops em ded

mpx · 12th September 2011, 17:22

Gotta have it on survival normal, none of this carebear crap! :P

In saying that, from playing 1.8 pre-release, mobs are EVERYWHERE (so are pigs for some reason, like literally 20 - 30 in one area). So prepare yourselves!

....winter is coming...

Lightspeed · 12th September 2011, 17:39

Yeah, I reckon. Even though I've raged at creepers in the past.

pxpx · 12th September 2011, 18:41

Just had a browse round spawn on the server, looks sad :~(

FTFY

^BITES^ · 13th September 2011, 15:12

Is there a semi confirmed release of 1.8 (server specifically) outside of the pre-release?

Seen the "12th" and summary "ok not the 12th" titter updates .. but havent found anything concrete?

mpx · 13th September 2011, 15:14

Nope, there's only 1.8 pre-release and most likely an update to the pre-release first, and then the official release.

Rgr thanking you sir

Cowboy · 13th September 2011, 15:58

Not really much going on over at that little village. Not even a chest with things in it.

The glass panes look good though as do the tables

It should be out soon though, there was a list of bugfixes about and it wasn't terribly huge and didn't seem like it would take a lot of resources to fix. I'd say another day or two at most.

I came across my first chest in proper Survival Single Player, in a mineshaft and scored some melon seeds! I was super keen in having a farm but it seems once they grow, that's it

You don't get any seeds back

Haha I tried to make it to spawn and someone nuked the lobby in the Nether. Had to build my way to the spawn portal and relight it to get back.

This is hilarious fun. (-:

mpx · 14th September 2011, 11:06

Pre Release 2 is out, and I've already encountered a new bug! Shift+click into an already full inventory crashes the client.
