Branchscape

[tanisjihanis]

Im thinking a giant cavern directly under the tree, then large housing caverns at points where the roots split.

EDIT: just realized i've been calling you zork instead of TLuke222... Im so stupid. Please accept my apology xD

[TLuke222]

no problem, have u added me to the cuboid?

[tanisjihanis]

If you are vet, you should automatically be able to edit it. If not, I will add you the next time I'm on.

[tanisjihanis]

Doh... He means the tanis1 cuboid that I put on it forever ago. But ya, we need to get the town cuboid done. Feel free to set it up venomm

I am busy building trees. :3

Some people shouldn't be allowed have keyboards with a caps lock button.

I second that motion.

This reply is gonna be my work log for the root system expansion.

Spoiler! :

1/4/12: Radius of main cavern expanded to approx. six blocks. Depth is now four layers from main lift.
1/5/12: occupied, no progress made
1/6/12: Main cavern floor finished, now beginning to branch root tunnels

[tanisjihanis]

Okay, awesome Luke

[TLuke222]

Is the stairwell in an ok place? What do you think of it so far?

[LS13]

I dont know when my brother will be helping, but he has said he will. He is now helping me on Frost a bit, so we both might not help out all the time we r on

[venomm2]

well tanis 3 issues
1st one.. haha funny story... we're missing 3 DB....
2nd one, i'm not allowed to set it up cuz i didnt build BR
and 3rd one, even if i could i havent been on much lately since life has been busy and my compy has been a bit wonky. Idk wat the issue with my compy is but im getting huge framrate drop and every other time i turn it on, i have to use system restore, and if i try to download/install/update windows, then my lappy goes into startup repair. i havent had time to figure it out and i wouldn't be able to because all the software on the surface seems fine and this issue goes beyond my knowledge

[tanisjihanis]

1: Herm. I know this. It is my fault. (I think..) =((((((( I put myself in charge of recouping these funds.
2: Oh. I did not know that. o_o dammit.
3: Oh that really sucks! I wont be on AS much either~ school is more demanding than ever.

TLuke I cannot find the cavern... Make a big hole for me to find. or something sorry for my poor detecting skills.

LS, das cool. This will be a long term project so eh~

Branchscape NEWS:
WE WILL BE IMPLEMENTING BRIDGES. BETWEEN THE TREES. I KNOW RIGHT? AMAZING. show me your enthusiasm. now. this is an order.

I have finished all plans for windwillow. Let me outline them for you guys, since i know you are all verrrrry interested in what took me 11 sheets of graph paper to sketch and model and idea make.

-No main floor (SHOCKING!)
-More branches. (this is branchscape after all)
-20 semi premade dome houses. (!!!!!!!!!!! REJOICE !!!!!!!!!)
-hanging houses that act as lanterns, as well as mushroom lift houses from below (this is a test idea, and may not be implemented)
-more residential building, in this tree, I will be allowing-- nay encouraging your own modifications. make those bridges between tree branches, make your own stairways around the dome. make this place have more nooks and secret stairs than a dwarf fortress. only 2 restrictions apply to this: Build on the dome with leaves. build on the tree with logs. build bridges with halfplanks (and fences if wanted)

[yabai_ninja]

what do you mean by no main floor?

[tanisjihanis]

you know how branchscape has a bottom to it's dome? willow wont.

also, Tluke, found a giant awesome cavern. we could connect it up.
coords:
9795, 20, 3834

[TLuke222]

I think i built is some1's tree on accident :P didn't see the main tree untill i began teh hypotopographic scans. Connecting the cave sounds great, ill take a look into it.

[tanisjihanis]

ah... Hehehe.

[venomm2]

now has started i mobtower ground dig

[tanisjihanis]

An update on the town:

Windwillow is well on its way; we have started on the branches.
Seru is now an official leader of branchscape (hurrah!)
Venomm is running a lottery which I encourage anyone interested to go check out. Proceeds will go to the windwillow project.
We have a town cuboid (hurrah!)
Things are going swimmingly and the shops are now open again!

[LS13]

Yay for the shops! They give good deals.

[LS13]

Oh, and waffle and ttw, ur welcome No misusing it, aka for anything other than milk
(Don't ask how I did it please, I don't want to go there >.>)

[tanisjihanis]

O_o

I haven't the slightest what you are speaking of, but yes, horray shops!

[venomm2]

y the hell is every1 form texas? =3

[LS13]

:D cause texas is amazing

EDIT: the cow i got waffle and ttw disappeared

[LS13]

Is it possible for me to make a pine personal tree

[TLuke222]

I just figured out that I built the entrance to the root system in Seru's house XD

Btw: could some1 add me to the cuboid?

[tanisjihanis]

Strange... The cow that is.

I'll mark ye out a plot for the pine tree next time I'm on. Good luck with it tho; I've tried and failed at building those before. They are rather challenging to make functiona and still remain appealing LS.

Tluke ill get on and add you right away. We just got that town cuboid installed

I need someone smart to help me figure out how to get a nether rail going to spawn to reduce travel time

[venomm2]

nether rail= crap

[tanisjihanis]

Why? 8 blocks in the nether=64 in the real world. Seems to me like it would save a LOT of time.

[LS13]

Yeah, in case you haven't noticed it is a bit of a long ride to br.

[tanisjihanis]

heh, yup. I did it once when I was naked(I didn't have royalty at that point in time, so my name was lacking in purple clothing. Keep your mind out of the gutter!)
