Now that I’m done going through all those Skyrim screenshots, I can show you my base on the new server! It’s been up for a few months now, though there was a really rough patch in the beginning with world generation being absolutely broken. This has resulted in the Overworld being a bit weird, with jack-o-lanterns and nether levers everywhere, but fixing that would require a reset and they’re not going to do that. Everything else works now, though.
This is the spot I decided on. A nice hill to the side, a little hollow, next to water, and a large hole underneath the hill.
The aforementioned hole.
Here it is without rain.
I always find random floating blocks to be amusing. They happen in all sorts of worldgen settings and I often take pics of them.
A little way into playing I discovered a massive mountain near my base, so I had to move there. This is the little area that I started with.
A shot of the left part of the mountain.
And a shot to the right! It’s quite large as you can see.
I knew from the beginning that I was going to dig this mountain out and build into it. This is where I would put the door. It’s just asking for a door, isn’t it?
Of course, having stone tools at the time, I built my base outside, as I was not digging anything out yet. This is my little cavewoman-age base.
The beginnings of my Blood Magic setup. It was also around Christmas as you can see. I always forget that Minecraft does this, so it’s a pleasant surprise every year!
Just a borked village house.
The beginnings of my Astal Sorcery setup. I did not know that AS did a similar thing for christmas, so that was fun.
Here we have a bit later, as I’ve advanced a ways. I’ve started a garden, and if you look closely, you can see that I’ve started digging out the mountain and moving in.
Progress on the magic front as well.
My very cramped cave. I only had bronze level tools at best at this point, so it’s not a big hole.
And here’s what happened after I got the excavate modifier on my hammer! Make digging things out easier, so I started emptying out the mountain of stone. Cobble, anyone?
And here… it begins. This is the very beginning of my Immersive Engineering setup. Just a waterwheel and a cloche.
I haven’t been taking very many screenshots, so there’s going to be a big jump. But I think it is now time for me to take you on a tour of my base as it currently is!
This is the current ground level entrance. I haven’t decided what to do about a door yet.
My spiral staircase leading up to the main base.
I’ll probably stick some kind of decoration there. Or maybe a teleporter of some kind, I haven’t decided yet.
Here we’re at the top of the staircase, about to head back outside
The entrance at the top! This is where the base from before was; as you can see, it’s been greatly modified.
The entrance hall behind the door! If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m not that great at decoration. Plus I’ve been focusing on functionality, not looks. Once things are fairly advanced and automated I’ll go back and focus on decoration.
My bedroom and kitchen. They’re going to be more separated I think, but I figured having the kitchen next to my bedroom was appropriate.
Heading out of the entrance hall now, down below is my storage room.
Here it is fully. It’s just stacks of grouped but unorganized chests atm. I’m working on upgrading to Refined Storage so I don’t have to sort this shit!
Some of my IE stuff, and Tinker’s Construct Smeltery. The chests on the right are where my blast furnaces were until I upgraded to an arc furnace.
Over there is my Better with Mods setup and the rest of my tinkers stuff.
A pair of distillation towers and my modular machinery plastic making setup.
Here we have my power generation setup. This is producing biodiesel for my generators, with my steam generator in the background.
Over there are the rest of my IE machines: crusher, metal presses, and arc furnace.
This is the beginnings of pneumaticraft, aka the beginnings of actual technology!
And that is my base! I did just realize I didn’t take any screenshots of my magic setups, but I haven’t been focusing on them so I’ll leave that for another day.
Thanks for reading, and may the Force be with you!
