I feel like if they had just taken it slow things would have worked out better, instead everyone is mad at everyone right now. Add a donate button, go from there.

http://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/33zpsw/if_you_refund_a_mod_purchased_on_the_steam/ So I guess the whole refund after purchase feature is also a little skewed. All my lols. Valve/Bethesda y.

So SkyUI, pretty much one of the most essential mods for Skyrim(cause god the default UI is so terribad) is going paid. Not sure when, but one of the creators is making an update after a year or something just so he can make it paid with new content. Like I and everyone said, getting paid for your work and dedication isn't wrong, but this isn't the way to do it.

EDIT: Also realize my first sentence started out exactly like the title from this Reddit thread I was reading, whoops: https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/33quz6/skyui_pretty_much_one_of_the_most_essential_mods/

https://archive.is/PaB5b A part of me wants to feel bad for this guy, since I think out off all the new paid-mod stuff going on, he is definitely getting the most shit. And Valve is pretty much treating him like shit. I want to call him the fall guy for all of this, seems like he was sweet talked into something then when he really needed Valve's support they just kind of ignored him. Whole situation sucks.

As for the guy who used a dependency that was separate, I still think it's a shitty thing to do, but if no one downloads the dependency he technically isn't profiting off of another person's work right?

Why can't we just have a donation button or thing that's supported by Valve/Steam? Why do they and Bethesda HAVE to make money off of it, haven't they already made enough by people BUYING the game? And also, why is Valve possibly deleting links to donation pages on certain mods? https://i.imgur.com/wW5j5yu.png (this mod was actually taken off the workshop, so I'm not sure what's going on there).

I feel like the entire field of modding just got a lot more confusing and shitty. Just think about what this would do to other games. Garry's Mod, Space Engineers, Portal 2, L4D2. All of these games really rely on the modders to keep them alive for years and years after they normally would run otherwise(which is probably why Skyrim was chosen to beta this, it's a prime example of that). If all of these had paid-mods, would anyone actually buy them? I know I personally wouldn't, it's not that I don't think they should get supported for their work, they should, just not in this way.

There are more things I want to say but I'm about to crash.

EDIT: Also, agree with your first 3 points, 1 made me laugh, imagine a 'free trial' for a mod. I mean hell, someone already had an early access mod that would go up in price when it came out of development.

it appears most of my mapping breakthroughs happen when i'm trying to procrastinate from doing other things, such as studying. Because fuck studying.

Indeed, the progress on my current map began with me being bored while studying for a test. And anytime I have to do homework hammer mysteriously opens. I swear to god it's just there, like "Hey bro, you got homework, well what about adding some more stuff to this area of the map? What about that idea you had bro?".

I was looking for Ep2 mods/maps the other day when I stumbled upon the new site, the images for the mod I was looking at all had the PlanetPhillip logo on them and I was really confused. I thought some site was just piggy backing off of PP, then I saw this thread, the new site looks good though. Makes me want to actually finish a map with proper lighting and details

I'd hop on and play when I could. Been busy with school and work, but this sounds too fun to miss out on.

Playing on the server was fun with all you guys, I've just been so busy with school and work all my free time goes to other stuff nowadays. Was fun while it lasted

Mainly cute girls be liking it PB, some dudes like it too(aka me). Only reason I started watching it was because so many girls were cosplaying as it at ComiCon so I gave it a go, and loved it. I see people wearing AoT hoodies and stuff sometimes.

It's like Doctor Who, it's not widely watched, but a lot of people do know what it is.

I'm trying to get the stuff together to just go as a generic Survey Corps dude from Attack on Titan, I already have the jacket, which while a little tight, is amazing.

Jump.

So as long as it isn't my mountain O_O I really need to get on this week. School has been so crazy, and I'm trying to get a job on top of that. So busy.

EDIT: I got on, completed the first iron grinder section, and killed the Dragon. So yeah. Don't be mad gais. I just wanted that sweet sweet dragon egg.

Whoa Rim, what ya gonna use them for

Does Amidst have support for showing slime chunks? Is that too cheaty? I wanna make a slime facility, saw one on Reddit and it looked badass. Hoping I have time to get on this week, had a weekend retreat and now school in the mornings, not much free time :/

TIL the US leases the UK missiles. "Oh yea here you go, about $450K a month, just have it back with a full tank of gas and we should be good!"

If You guys end up freeing up I might move.
Then we can finally have a beer together

Can I do this to? Can we all just a have a big 'Fuck off Banks and other bullshit' party? Drinking age is like 18 over there isn't it? I'm technically legal everywhere that's not America I think.

Also since no one's posting pictures here's a picture to stay on topic.Took it with a pinhole camera that I made years ago. Things probably been recycled or something now, god it was such a piece of shit. There's a picture of the thing on page 17, and this picture I posted on page 15 with its negative. Looking back sucks, so much cringe.

Goooooo Archie, oh, and Scotland too.

Another update on my soon to be public [Redacted] farm! Second [Redacted] building is up, allowing for a max harvest of 18 [Redacted]!I say soon to be because while it's already public, no one knows what it does, or where it is yet. I just need to add in a storage room for overflow and a wall around it for protection. Then we can all enjoy [Redacted] together!

I'm ok with it beign true, I kind of see repairs to stuff a part of playing Minecraft, then again endermen destroying my redstone would be annoying as hell. but I know others have their own opinions. If it's gonna be a vote, I vote Yay.

So trying to breed villagers was getting annoying and pissing me off, so I took a break for a bit and built something in the woods. Halloween is around the corner and I thought I would something festive.It's a semi-automated [REDACTED] factory! It's not done yet, but it is definitely getting there, only one more [REDACTED] farm to build, which is the furthest building back, and it's output should be satisfactory. Only took a day or so of mining the redstone and such for clocks, and the iron for hoppers, the hardest parts were designing the redstone timers and making all of the mechanics compact and hidden, many designs were considered from all over the internet, and capturing the chickens for eggs. The only downside to the design is to craft the [REDACTED] you have to run around to each farm for the materials, then find a bench to make them at. So yeah, hopefully this thing works out well. Then it's back to the villager breeding grind

We haven't even gotten the results of the last one... :rly:

Awww, I thought it meant the lava would start juggling or something cool.

If anything I'm going to either A. Make an underground/aboveground rail to spawn from my base, or B. Hook up my nether base with Tawnos' proposed nether spawn(as well as build a rail station or two there so other builds can hook up. Which is something we need to talk about, all the random rails/lack of rails was annoying last map, we need order!) So at some point I'll be hooked in.

MY Coords are (Hella North, Not Hella West). Yea, next time I see you on I can come over and drop some by. I keep forgetting how close we are in the Nether, so when I raid forts I just kind of take everything.

I'd rather have a farm. It's just easier in the long run. But that doesn't matter, golems only drop iron when killed by action on the players part. So yea, they purposefully broke iron farms. Which is a dick move. I always thought MC was a game where the players were able to choose how they played, guess not. Why does Mojang have to kill all the fun? Nothing was better than finishing off a huge iron farm and watching the golems fall and burn. So much iron. It was glorious.

EDIT: Wait no, ok, so I'm reading the change logs update by update over the last few months, which is confusing, so first they did the change I mentioned, but the following week removed it. So I guess they still work. Really confusing, I think as long as I can gather up 10 villagers I should be fine!

EDIT II: More reading, I guess farmers will only farm if mob grief is on. Weird setting. Poop, guess I better stock up on trading materials.

EDIT III: So, the mass of my villagers just got turned into zombies. I don't know how, all the holes are covered in their containment cell. I was about to move over a few more villagers to hopefully reach 9. So yeah. At this point it's 2 steps forward 3 back.

I really hate this new system of villager breeding. It's a pain in the ass to get them to breed now. Why do they keep fucking up mechanics that work.

EDIT: So yea, I can't get more than 3 villagers at a time. The whole 'Willing' system is fucked, and I can't find an easy way to make it less so. Probably not going to be an Iron Grinder this time if I Can't figure this out. Really frustrating.

EDIT II: So my system works in single player, but not on multiplayer, which makes no sense. I don't get what is happening. There is no difference to how I'm building stuff. It should work. Mojang fix yo game.

I haven't a clue what you guys are talking about. My builds are small and simple. I mean look at this! Practically the smallest build I have yet!This week I'll probably be on less, last 2 weeks I've only had 3 of my 5 classes, but this week the other 2 start. So yea, more time in school and what not. Less time on the server. Which sucks, I've run into a problem with the iron grinder, villager breeding was changed in 1.8(DAMN YOU MOJANG). So it's gonna take time to get up and running.

Good news everyone!I've opened up the portal to the End! I destroyed one of the End Crystals and died. So now we can go kill the dragon. Or I can, since it's still so early into the server.

Just learned it's probably 2-3 months out for 1.8 ._. I really hate how long it takes for shit to update to new MC versions. So annoying. With all the Bukkit and Spigot shit up in the air I really hope they start working on an official mod API.

That's where the end portal is. I'm just west of that. I travel that way often since just east of that is a swamp I use for slime hunting.

Atom do you have any problem with JourneyMap? I Was thinking of using it when it releases for 1.8 and wanted to ask.

As far as I Can tell I'm the first one to go to the Nether, first one to create my Banners, and the first one to GET A SPONGE. I GOT A SPONGE. SPONGES. Guardians are a bitch to fight.

I'm hella far away again, I too am north, and have claimed an Extreme Hills + and Stone Beach island for the glory of the Mintonia Empire. I'm in the process of digging out my base and placing banners. Hermit life yos.

All the submitted maps are unfinished, I don't feel as lazy now.

I'll take my 5% please sir. Seriously, I hit an error and just gave up, to many things going on still for me to even fix the problem. Uploaded a version that works to the vault though. I usually draw my maps/game ideas/whatever out before hand, something I didn't do here, which I think hurt it the most. Going to put more effort into planning out a map next mini-/compo.

I haven't actually touched my map since I posted on here last >_<. Lost track of time, started playing Space Engineers, weekly training for something school related, and just general giving up because I no map good. Mah bad.

Once 1.8 comes out and the server updates I'll hop on again. Gave up on finishing my rail lines. Next time will be better! Probably will plan out my underground base a bit more this time.

When did TWHL become /r/teenagers?

(I jest of course)

Sorry for not responding, Space Engineering has been taking up my time. Yes, I am the underground pioneer. That's my somewhat complete Center for Sheep Control. I kind of got bored with MC since all I do is build and build and build and build and build and mine and mine and mine and mine and build and build and build. I might hope back on the server this weekend. Work on finishing Phase II of my rail line.

I wrote out an explanation but it was easier to just Google it. First or second image result. Makes things connect. It's awesome when texture packs support it because people can do cool things with it, check out SMPS revival, so good with CTs.

So I've owned Space Engineers for months, but have olny really messed around with it in creative mode and to look at cool shit on the Steam Workshop, but I recently started playing it on survival and holy shit, game is so much fun. I've been playing it almost non-stop for the last 2 or 3 days. It's awesome and you should give it a go, one of the few good Early Access games. Probably the only Early Access game I don't regret buying.

I've been meaning to get on and do stuff, but the last few days I've been playing a large amount of Space Engineers. The new update really pulled me in.

So much infrastructure, it's gonna be beautiful.

In other news, my rail from TWHL town to my base is functional, it ain't pretty, but it goes from point A to point B. And my rail from my base to my semi-functional mob grinder works to, which really it's a rail to the iron grinder, with a stop for the mob grinder on the way. In short if you want Music Discs and have the patience of an airbender you can head over to my mob grinder to try your luck at getting some.

The newest version of that java app has a randomize feature. Pretty fun to play around with. The designs are all weird.

EDIT: Another more useful app, web-based and it let's you generate a code to get the flag in game. Just a little bit better than the first one! http://time-z.net/algoinde/

Those are pretty neat TJB, the one you went with looks really cool. The last one on the bottom looks creepy.

I built a skeleton XP grinder next to my WIP creeper grinder. So many signs for watervators. I am the sign man!

You incorporated my new station design! Rails are the best.

More new patterns!! http://imgur.com/a/AUXHF#0

So many possibilities. I think Jeb is changing the names of some of the patterns though to better reflect real world terminology. I thought they worked well as is.

EDIT: Someone made a simple tool in java to test out differnt combos and what not with flags. It's pretty neat, and he says he's adding more to it, so that's cool. http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/2bmis8/i_made_a_small_java_program_that_lets_you_edit/

Going to miss this world. So much stuff on it. Hopefully I'll be able to get a nice area to have all my grinders and facilities together in the next world whenever that comes. In other news, rail from TWHL Town to my surface base is functional, but not complete. Rail to the mob grinders is still being worked on.

Was thinking to send off the server we all get on and fight a wither or 6.

And as much as I want to finish my builds, what's the point, we don't know when 1.8 will drop. It could be months, it could be tomorrow. I could start building and the next day it will all be for nothing.

Had already started going with a Mirrors Edge inspired thing Rim. Guess I'll try adding more stuff to it.
