Sky Net

Now that the server is back up, I finally can start to do all the brilliant new ideas I've had. The first thing I decided to do was build a city around my volcano. This seemed like a good idea, and I built a couple building before becoming completely bored out of my mind. After a bit of exploring, which I will summarize in a moment, I decided to build Sky Net. It took a while, cause I made a whole bunch of computers which require red booles or something like that. They take forever to make, so my computer network took ages to do. Then I made a massive building which I set all the computers and wires up on. There was no real reason for any of it, cause I'm not going to use them for anything, but they look cool. Then, with much effort, I made 'sky net' in the ground using the weird mini-blocks. Then I made some terminators (iron golems) to guard Sky Net.


After this excitement, I got bored again. I was thinking on what some of my friends had said, and one thing I had been told was to make another ground at the top of the world. Fun as that would be, I decided instead to make a terraformer. That did not take long, and the next question was what I should do with the terraformer. They have different setting chip thingys, that make the terraformer do different things. I was unsure which one I wanted. I had previously gone flying around with a Philosopher's stone, converting the desert into grasslands. So what I wanted next was to grow plants everywhere. I had the choice between irrigation or cultivation to do this, but I have no idea which. While deciding, I saw a mushroom one. It turns all the ground into myserium or some such, and plants mushrooms everywhere. I obviously had to choose that one, and now it is running outside my volcano. I had a slight problem with the power, because the two geothermal generator I hooked up weren't doing shit. I wanted to make some High voltage solar arrays, but as it turns out those are super resource intensive. I looked up the materials for a high voltage one, and it required 8 med voltage ones. one med voltage costs 8 low voltages. one low voltage costs 8 useless solar panels. Each no-voltage requires a generator, which require tons of resources. In conclusion, all I could make was one medium voltage array.

I decided that I was going to try to make a whole bunch more. My auto-crafting room is now being put to good use. I have discovered that I might have to do even more work on the place, because currently my condensers, induction furnaces, and pipes almost completely cover the floor. I may try putting all of the condenser systems on a different wall so that They are not in the way. Anyways, after the 24 hours it has been running, I sure as hell had better have a pile of generator components. I did not have enough space or tables to do the whole thing.

Back to what I did whilst exploring, the nuker told me that the guy who quit the server had been back, and had made a new base. However, by 'accident' he had blown up the base while nuking some random cobble/water mess. It was underground, so theoretically it makes sense. Nevertheless, I would not put it past him doing it on purpose. Now there is a big wooden structure of his name in the bottom of a crater.

One of the next things I am thinking of doing is coming up with a defense system. I had a clever idea that involves a forcefield that gets put up around the person, and is a zapper forcefield, because I think those are one of the few things that can hit thru all armors. I also look forward to seeing how many solar arrays I can make, as well as how crazy the mushroom world is. Its really annoying, because the terraformer not only converts the ground to myserium, but it also converts the mushrooms it plants to mysterium, then plants mushrooms on the mushroom corpse, leaving a massive mushroom tower of doom.
