Not a creation on the server, but its time I reveal my latest single-player project: The Great Desert Castle. She's not even...halfway done yet, but I think she's got enough to show off a bit... First off, an overview of the current state of it, with annotations! The main entrance to the castle itself... The Great Hall: The Crafting Room: The unfinished Oasis: The first pool: The second pool: The dry sauna, just off the first pool: The entrance to the Armory: And, the Armory proper: The (Unfinished) Lapis Room: The Diamond Entrance: And, finally, a village just a short walk from the rear edge of the Armory, taken on the Armory roof itself: I just...can't stop adding on to it! This mad bastard ain't anywhere near done, but its a nice, early look at it.

Heh. On FSTDT server, the Hidden Awesome Temple of Awesomeness is done.....and thanks for the suggestion, it now has 300% more lava. Oh, and I started in on the underwater dome city.
No pics of the Temple! If you can find it you can post pics if you like.

HA, Zacky, my methods are actually kinda simple. I just find a nice plot of land that looks like it'd be a cool place for a Structure of Awesome, and I choose an appropriate starting material, like sandstone for a desert or wood for a forest, and build along the lines the land gives you itself. Gives your building a nice, natural flow...you can alter the area a bit, if you need to, like filling in potholes or, like what happened with the Diamond Entrance, you find that your room (with delicate redstone circuitry) is sitting over a bunch of floating sand or gravel, and you accidentally dig one block too far and cause the WHOLE FUCKING THING TO COLLAPSE, DESTROYING HALF YOUR CIRCUITS...then, yeah...fill it in and restore your stuff. [ETA] Also, music. Music helps a LOT (for me) with getting ideas. The song of choice for the Great Desert Castle? Astral Romance (2001 Remake) by Nightwish. [ETA] Well, I got another addition done, the Golden Entrance. The entrance itself is located just off the Oasis, but it goes underground, with an exit in the Great Hall. The Golden Entrance itself: The Long Path: And, finally, an updated look at the Great Hall: (Photobucket's being a bitch. The image IS there, I just [15:51 CDT] checked it. Just click the lying ass thumbnail.) [MORE ETA] Beefed up the Diamond Entrance today, made it look a LOT better...a lot less square, and more castle-y. Did the same to the Gold Entrance, too. Its no longer a big, gold block between the borders of a desert and forest biome. Looks more...imposing now. Okay, seriously...Photobucket's being a fucking whore. I swear, the images are there!

Wow, Sandman. I found your hidden temple of awesomeness, but I don't even know where to begin taking photos 'cause there is too much epicness! I have to admit I was a little overwhelmed.

New post! Got a new overview for ya, showing my work up til now. I figured I didn't need to point out the stuff I already did in the first overview, so I dedicated this one just to the changes. If ye look, you'll notice the update to the Diamond Entrance, as well as the finalized look of the Golden Entrance. I've also expanded the Lapis Room. The Room of Summoning houses some nice, ritual-themed decor and a Nether Portal.

If you don't mind installing the relevant mod I'd say that castle is crying out for an airstrip on the roof.

I've taken it upon myself to begin modernizing Baconport. I've got an iron bunker and radar tower under construction, with a missile silo planned. Pics to come when I actually have something presentable.
Out of the structures I've seen so far, I'd have to say Sandman's zeppelin casino is my favorite.

Why not a zeppelin dock for the casino?

I spontaneously decided to make something near Baconport's port a couple of nights ago. I wonder how many of you have seen it :3

Tried out proper (non-Peaceful) Survival in my castle last night...I have discovered that, while it may look good, it seems to spawn monsters (INSIDE) like a motherfucker. Especially god damned Slendermen, I got four of em over the two nights I tested it.

Heh, I built two massive volcanoes by alternating lava and water flows. One contains the Secret Volcano Lair and the other contains the Magic Ring Destruction Center (only reachable through the Underwater Lab).
My next project is a Saturn V heavy lifting rocket with gantry, but that is gonna take a bit of planning.

Is the server down? I haven't been able to connect to it for about a week now.
