Started a new world and to my detriment I started in a Jungle biome, by far my least favorite. However I spotted a large river nearby and to me that means lots and lots of clay. "Clay is essential for crafting seared bricks to construct a smeltery".
So I followed the river and to my luck it crossed into a Plains biome! Then even luckier for me I came across monstrous Redwood trees! This meant I could build large tree house high up to be safe from the mobs!

As I steadily acquired resources including the oil spring, I decided to get a base upgrade out of the way while I had 4 fresh quarries gather additional resources!

Just gotta setup all my equipment against before I can install Diamond Kinesis Pipes and fluid pipes throughout the inside of the framework. "no need to have ugly pipes sticking out"

I started a new world with large biomes, started in a freaking snow plains... surrounded by a tiaga, and another snow planes. I got fed up, cheated into creative and proceeded to spend the next 45 minutes (that's no joke) flying east until I finally found a forest biome to set up shop in.

The seeds have been like that lately since 1.6.4. For some ungodly reason there seems to be a dominant biome. Before I stumbled upon the Oil Spring I noticed that Plains biome I set up on was nearly surrounded by the Jungle Biome and it still extended 50+ chunks in every direction.
Do you use FTB? Biomes'o'plenty/Natura tends to make the seeds a bit more fun and hard biomes less of a pain.

I usually run vanilla. I used to play tekkit but in SP on my computer got very slow very quickly (probably from the +5km pipe network for sorting and processing). A... misshap with my reactor rendered that world useless since it kept crashing every time I tried to load it. MP is a totally different ball game. The more popular servers can handle the mods but competition for resources is fierce, less popular servers are better but struggle with all the mods.

I play vanilla Minecraft, just created new world...have 5 biomes within 100 blocks so far. Still looking for a Mesa

Finally dried up the oil spring. Was able to convert it and transport it all to two storages tanks "one in the tree house and one along the rail for the quarries"...
Total Amount Of Fuel Left:
3,770,454 MB
Or
3,700 Buckets Of Fuel
3,700 x 83 = 307,100 Minutes Of Fuel In A Combustion Engine
Or
5,118 Hours Of Fuel In A Combustion Engine
I don't think I'll be needing fuel for a while... Even if I'm using 6 Combustion Engines to power 4 quarries and 10 water pumps...

Using what little time I have to myself to putz around in minecraft...
"But Crabby why not just play AH?"
I don't have home internet and need to not waste stamina walking across the street with my stuff.. I can play minecraft without internet...

I never understood the point of Minecraft. If I wanted to build something I would build something real instead.

Same reason people play Aces instead of flying real planes all the time.
To get the Minecraft experience, you'd have to build in Gaza though... to simulate the creepers blowing your toejam up.

Assuming you are using the PC version?

Mods... easy mode :neener:

Mods... easy mode :neener:
Some mods yes "The Morph Mod"
Many others make it more immersive. Especially stuff like Railcraft!
With Railcraft you're forced to craft machinery in order to just craft several types of rail. Then it can become a real resource hog when you're looking to get auto-loader/unloaders, locomotives, and storage tanks.
Then there's stuff like Tinker's Construct that isn't much more different than a more useful Anvil + enchanting table. Just the acquiring the resources for stuff like Nether Stars are more than enough to nerf the acquisition of the super-weapons/tools. Sure Lapis is a little overpowered but it takes up slots preventing you from stacking too much good stuff on a single tool/weapon "hence the difficulty of acquiring Nether Stars and Diamond-Crusted Apples"
And even after that the really "easy mode" stuff is just not feasible until late-late game! "Powersuits and Drills" - at that point are those even necessary when you're more than likely swimming in loot?

I had fun with the railcraft mod, I just wish it interacted a little better with the other mods from tekkit. The longest train I made with it was over 50 cars long and needed 20 "locomotives" to move. It still never completed the 5km circuit that I had made to the various resource centers... :(

At that point I just make a second or third line with shorter trains. :confused: Or go through the painstaking work of leveling out the line to where trains only have to worry about 1 tile inclines/declines.
It is sad when even with 10 locomotives a train gets stuck on a hill WITH booster track...
If they weren't so fun to use I would just use transport pipes to get my crap where I need it. But wasting diamonds on such things is silly.

I just dug out a tunnel to the locations and made an underground station of sorts in areas where it was necessary. Screw all that surveying crap.

But making the bridges and doing surveying is kinda fun, plus gives me something to do while the quarries run! :uhoh
Plus I can use compressed cobblestone and compressed dirt from the quarries to make what I need for surveyed rail lines! "waste not want not"

All I need to do now is make a depot for trains since I plan on abusing mega-quarries "quarries with the maximum 64x64 area" - I should have enough diamonds left to make distribution pipes to sort out all of the incoming stuff since going through every chest IS a pain!

Krabs, these are awesome!
I hated on Minecraft for like a year... then I said screw it and just bought it and omg... I got beyond hooked... played it like a 13 year old on Christmas break.
I even made a 1:10 scale Star Destroyer in survival!

1.8 Release features you being able to use slime cubes as extensions for pistons! Imagine the modeling that can be accomplished when you're not as painfully limited.

They nerfed offline play with FTB...
MultiMC ftw!
