And than there were the inactivity...

Yeah, I have not been able to maintain my blogs the way I wanted to when I decided to relaunch my original blog. I am back now though, or at least I hope I will be. I got some very interesting projects going on in my survival world, so there will be a lot of interesting projects going up here in the upcoming months or so. The projects I have at the moment will primarily evolve around my transportation system, but also around expanding my already existing farms and generators. I am hoping to finish my tree farm over the course of 2017, but I said that last year that I would finish the farm over the course of 2016, so it is probably very likely that I will not even get close to reaching my goal of finishing it over the course of the year, as there are a whole load of work I need to finish. I was conducting a minor inspection of my farm recently, and the signs are not looking good as I will have to either raise the tree farm by a few blocks to make it pass over a desert that will block my progress shortly, or I can choose the more tidious option which is to remove the sand that are in my way and use that sand to produce the glass I will inevitably need for my tree farm when the time comes for me to enclose in a glass cube.

Aside from my tree farm being a constant pain in my side, I also need to continue my progress on my transportation system. I am currently working on making a system which will make it possible for me to travel in between my builds at my primary base. I currently got my main base connected to my roller coaster project, but I still need to connect my secondary base as well as my plot I have designated for future expansions. So there are a whole load of work that needs to be done, so I will probably have to get right to it if I am to have any hope of achieving anything in my survival world.

Hopefully I will be more active in the future, but I cannot guarantee anything. Because I got a whole load of stuff to take care of on my own side. But I'll see what I can do as we go along :).



Oh and yeah, in case anyone is wondering, I will probably use my Google name to sign my posts from here on out.

Plan for the day: August 2nd

Hi everyone, and welcome to my plans for the day!



Primary goals for today

• Find and locate an area on the map that could be used to design a sea- and mountain based base. The base would be equipped with a storage facility, a small harbor, as well as living quarters. The base would be built in such a fashion that it starts as a boat house out at sea and integrates into the mountain.
• Begin the first stages of constructing the base, which amongst much else includes connecting the base to the world network in the nether for easy and convenient access to it.
• Document the first few stages of the project, and post it as a short tutorial on the blog.
• Plan and lay the foundation for the base, as well as planning what should be included in it's design

Secondary goals

• Complete the first stage of the base, which involves building a starter's house.
• Carve out the first stages of the mountain-part of the base.
• Make the base independent with it's own food supply.

This will the first time I am building a base of this type, so it will be very interesting to see how this one turns out.

Progress of the day : Juli 30th

Hi there everyone!


Here's the progress I made on my build over the course of yesterday. I was unable to post the progress of the day yesterday due to being away for a theatrical play, so I'm posting this today instead.


My goals for the day were as follows:

Primary goal : Supply my new warehouse with the first chests, and equip them with signs so that one can easily identify which resources the individual chests contains.

Secondary goals : Expand my warehouse with more floors, and make it gain height by building more rows of blocks on the top.

The primary goal was fullfilled. My new warehouse now have a significant bit more chests than it had before I started for the day. It have also gained more signs, more frames, and I have also worked on the registration over the items. The secondary goal was unfortunately not fullfilled due to a lack of both time and resources. I instead focused the time I had on expanding my old tree farm a bit so that I can harvest more trees that I need to make the chests required for the warehouse. 

The current look of my warehouse. There have been more chests added, but those are off-camera as they are in the row right next to this one.

The goal for today will be posted in a separate post. So keep an eye open for that post :).

Chests. Chests everywhere

Hi everyone!


Though I'd share this small update with you all. As you may already know, the plan for the day is to equip my new warehouse with chests in which I can store my resources and items in. I've been trying to figure out the best possible way to create a system in which one can easily find the resources one are looking for, and after a bit back and forth I found out that the easiest solution is often the best solution. I've taken inspiration from my dad who have allways been good at sorting stuff out. So what I ended up doing, was that I have started to mark each individual "rack" of chests with a number, starting from R1. What this will allow me to do, is to create a complete registration over the chests and resources, and should I ever need any particular resource or item, I can simply go into the registration overview, find the resource I need, and simply find the rack of chests listed underneath the respective resource. I am still early in the phase of equipping my warehouse with chests, so I may have to reorganize stuff later on, but this is how I have decided to do it for the time being.

My current progress in my warehouse, with the registration visible in the front of each invidual rack of chests.

Introducing: Plan for the Day

Hi everyone, and welcome to my first Plan For the Day. You guys will see a lot of these posts in the future, as I will make daily plans for what I wanna accomplish in my survival world day by day. The Plan For the Day posts will allways be posted before I start working on the builds themselves, and when I end my progress, I will post a new post in which I will make a summary of the progress I've made for the day. So let's not waste more time and get right to it.

My warehouse, the build I will mainly focus on today.

Primary goal : Supply my new warehouse with the first chests, and equip them with signs so that one can easily identify which resources the individual chests contains.

Secondary goals : Expand my warehouse with more floors, and make it gain height by building more rows of blocks on the top.
