Alright, now hemp means string. And string means... portable baskets!

With these babies, my inventory problems are solved.

(They're like shulker boxes, except you're not playing a game written by a sadist who hates you.)

Alright I'll venture north this time. Who knows how long I will have to go to find the orange trees—oh hey there's orange trees, oh hey there's a second settlement.
Show threadCyMar 5
Welcome to Mablecroft! Home of level terrain, a good weather biome, easy river access, and a big house. Friendly neighbors! And a drop into a crevice that would immediately kill me. I'll just... plug that hole up...
Show threadCyMar 5
And they have potatoes be still my heart!

(Yes, I hacked the settlements mod to grow more crops than wheat.)
Show threadCyMar 5
I still want to know who's interested in playing this with me. Have heard from 3 people so far!

Haha this rat is like "STAY OFF MAH LAWN!"
Show threadCyMar 5
Nerdpoleing up, I think this settlement looks like a good place to set up shop. (My house is going to be on the far left, there.)
Show threadCyMar 5
OK I already cleaned out the chests. Annnd... poof! Much cleaner.
Show threadCyMar 7
Alright, got my baskets down. Time to set up shop.
Show threadCyMar 7
Which direction to go in? Well the view from—oh. Well. Not going to have good views, if I pick the house sunk furthest into the ground. Good reason for that though!
Show threadCyMar 7
If I take out the wall facing the dirt wall, extending my house is super easy, just by roofing off the gap and digging into the side of the hill. Of course the door will need to be relocated somewhere I can actually uh... leave.
Show threadCyMar 7
And now, I create two very special blocks. The storage indexer, and several storage units.
Show threadCyMar 7
I can use the storage units as an impromptu roof, and just connecting them to the indexer below... done!
Show threadCyMar 7
Couldn't help but notice while building this, the little guy determined to get in and demolish me. Ain't he a cutie!
Show threadCyMar 7
And now, to access the Indexer, and put.... fucking everything in there. All four baskets full of loot.

Storage units are less convenient to carry around, so I'm pretty much permanently here now, but it's a nice, simple inventory system, which I've hacked on quite extensively. All I have left to do is redo the UI, replacing the list with a grid of icons, and the 1/10/99 option on the upper left. I saw a public server do it that way and it was much easier to use.

For now, I just have to take out the things I need, and... oh, that axe is getting kind of dull.
Show threadCyMar 7
BAM! (I love this mod.)
Show threadCyMar 7
All repaired! And without spending 20 stacks of copper to build a tool repair machine and several hydroelectric generators.

I confess I did hack the anvils mod a teeny bit, only because it's infuriating that you can only pull from it with an empty hand. My version swaps whatever tool you're wielding with the one on the anvil, which works smooth like butter, since you can leave the hammer on the anvil.
Show threadCyMar 7
Heading out, I immediately run into a death bird. At least there's only one of them. OH GOD THERES MORE THAN ONE WHY IS THERE ALWAYS MORE THAN ONE OF THEM
Show threadCyMar 7
Well I escaped, but I need food. And lots of nice potats here to harvest! So much trouble to replant them though. If only...
Show threadCyMar 7
Aha! Wham! Bang! Thump. All harvested and replanted!

I fixed the scythes mod, which had a radius for each scythe, then the code was wrongly written and never used it. Also improved their grass cutting ability.

@cy are you on CodeBerg?

It feels like we should start a gardening mod pack or something.

Show threadEdTheDevMar 7
@cy ooh. If you're up for sharing source code, I would love to update my server with your version, as well!
Show threadCyMar 7
Oh man, are you sure?

Well, you can see my changes at least here: git://fedicy.us.to/notmine/luanti/luanti

I've been trying to make it more deterministic. Trouble is that involves starting the emerge threads later... and that was tangled with a lot of startup that needed to start earlier.

I also wanted to figure out what lua code was running when I stopped the server, to see what was stuck in a loop or something. That... ends up killing the server a little more harshly than I'd like though.

I also "fixed" Carpathian 😖
Show threadEdTheDevMar 7

@cy Yes! The anvil mod feels so much better than throwing away a worn tool. It makes the world feel it has more depth.

@cy Well, why isn't your server online then? You could just post the address and wait. Or are you worried about a spam wave or something?
Show threadCyMar 6
I don't really have the resources to run a public server. I want to play with people who actually know me, anyway. Then we don't need protection mods, I can just ban anyone who's griefing.
Show threadLightMar 6
@cy Well, I'm ready to join.
I think you can whitelist usernames in Luanti. Or something similar.
Show threadLightMar 6
@cy Not for long though, as it's late.
And did you suggest Mumble on tilde.town or tilde.chat? Because I can't find a Mumble server for tilde.town anywhere, only tilde.chat, which I am on now in the minecraft room
Show threadCyMar 6
OK one sec!

@cy @light i would love to join a peaceful community. I have about three evenings per week being able to play - if you accept that I am elderly in my fifties 😎
My play-days are usually : Mon, Tue, Wed.... So I can reach out next Monday evening.

@cy I would be glad to drop by sometime, if you have a server.

My direct contact info is linked fromy profile if prefer not to share details publicly.

Show threadCyMar 6
My server is at fedicy.us.to port 30000 when it's running. Just let me know when you want it. I'd like to be able to play with you!
Show threadEdTheDevMar 6
@cy will do. Thanks!
