Making an underwater city

[elmarko98]

Here's El's corp factory ready for business!

Dunno what I'm gonna do next, I've got loads of ideas I just don't know which one to do next!

[joe5]

that looks very cool

[elmarko98]

Thanks I'm not 100% happy with it though

I didn't want the top segment but it looked awful without it I guess it's kinda cool to have a few of the building above sea level

[bossgx700]

I like it!

Although it's making me want to build one too.

[elmarko98]

I like it!

Although it's making me want to build one too.

Go ahead its always good to inspire a fellow builder :)

[joe5]

why not just take it off and add a glowstone roof or something then?

you could give it a kind of flattend dom roof

[elmarko98]

The thing is though, I wanted a kind of redpower lab somewhere and I also wanted somewhere to put an elevator, the top segment was planned but I didnt expect it to go out of the water.

Still it's okay

I'm going to release a picture of the interior soon, it's going to be a nuke factory and a nano and quantum armor manufacturer

All this will be available for players to buy on the server

[joe5]

your server is organised enough for that to work?

[elmarko98]

Well it's no running yet but I sure as hell hope so

I'll just pump the items into a chest shop and then players can buy them when they have enough dough

[joe5]

will the chest shop be remote from that location or connected directly?

for security's sake, can i suggest that a two chest send receive system is safer and would allow you to take a wider varity of payments.

[elmarko98]

Yeah not a bad idea

I'm also going to use world guard so no one can place or break blocks In the area so they'll hopefully be no griefers

[Industrial Miner]

How about a bar? You're going to need a very sophisticated redpower machine to pump ingrediënts and waterbottles into brewing stands, making almost any kind of potion.

[elmarko98]

Yeah I was going to make an entertainment section including restaurants, bars and certain kinds of...clubs. There's corruption even in haven , nah just kidding I'd never make something like that, or at least not on SMP

If you want a simple elevator plugin, take a look at lift on bukkit plugins website, you can't make it more simple and it works #1, did one to go down to my underwater city, clean and simple, will try to post pictures soon, but still in construction, empty for now, buildings are there but not all of them, will post pictures probably this evening.

[elmarko98]

Sweet, thing is I like messing around with redpower, and I like the thought of the fact that I made it you know. But I might use that for other elevators that I can't be bothered making

By the way, seeing as we're both making underwater cities we should post pictures and updates on this thread to give each other ideas. You're welcome to have a look around my server when it's finished :)

[Thundersun]

a quik question, how are you gonna/have move the spawn of the world to your underwater city?

[elmarko98]

Using essentials plugin you can change the spawn to where you're standing using a command, I think the commands /setspawn

[Dodge34]

Yup and you can select which groups will spawn there, if you have new people on your server you can even set their spawn with a place with a tutorial with all the rules and such.

For the pictures, they will be there soon, stay tuned they should be there before 5pm (GMT-5) but its not finished right now, all buildings are the same except the main place and empty for now, but I'm planning big there.

[elmarko98]

Okay I've stopped working on mine for now, I did all the machines in the factory and it lagged my game out so I'm going to wait until I get home and finish it then

[Dodge34]

I'm sorry for not posting anything right now I'm extremely tired, all the pictures are taken but I need to upload them and that will take awhile, will have to do this today but I'm not sure when I'll be able to do it.

[elmarko98]

No prob can't wait!

[Dodge34]

Here it is finally, I've decided to post a link to a full album rather than some screenshots directly, you can see I'm working on a massive building that will hold some forestry stuff (1x tree farm, 1x wheat farm, 1x pumpkin farm and probably a watermelon farm too) this is far from completed, I'M planning the biggest project I've ever worked on Minecraft there.

Clearing a huge swath of water is not a problem - MFFS Area Projector with underwater upgrade. The problem is filling it all up with water again - neatly, so that there are no underwater currents left. Any ideas?

[Industrial Miner]

Redpower pump

To fill it up again, world edit is quick, but dirty if you're inexperienced with it.
