Tad late with the updates, and my current build progress

So yeah, the title says it, I have not been all too good at keeping my blog here up to date with my current build. I have been super busy with various stuff, and making progress in my world is one of those things that I spend my time on at the moment. I am off for the easter, so Minecraft is just about the only game I am able to invest time into. Which is not too much of a problem, as I am able to progress quite nicely with my world now that GTA does not distract my attention from my world like it would ordinarily do. Which is rather good as well, considering the current situation in GTA online, but ah that's just a story for another time.

So yeah, my survival world. I have been making some pretty good and extensive progress in the most recent days. Most noticable of which would be my transportation system, which is constantly expanding and reaching ever further than it has ever done before. I am starting to feel that I may be investing a bit too much time and resources into this project as it is starting to get ridicilously long and extensive now, but I have no plans to stop my progress on it just yet. And all I have been doing is, you know, mixing things up, making a new design for my transportation network, and just having fun building it as I have been going along. I was also able to figure out a means of properly farming glowstone without having to spend ages in the Nether, so glowstone have become a pretty significant part of my progress, especially with my most recent, major, station, which I decided to put down just next to my tree farm where the transportation network leaves the farm and enters the AMPLIFIED sectors that I generated way back in 2015. Because yes, my world was transformed from a default world into an AMPLIFIED world. I did transform it again into a costum world, but I have now decided to transform it back into an AMPLIFIED world, so AMPLIFIED for the win indeed.

My most recent design for a primary station alongside my transportation network. My tree farm is situated further up in the screenshot, but due to low performance I had to turn down my render distance, and thus my tree farm is not visible in this screenshot.

As far as progress elsewhere goes, I have also been investing quite a bit of time and resources to my secondary transportation network in the Nether which connects my survival world together through a more time efficient network. Like i said above, glowstone is no longer a resource which I have to spare for special occassions, and thus I kind of got carried away while making my network more hollow and open, and thus glowstone got used a LOT.

Other than this there have not really been too much progress in my survival world in the recent days. I am working on the same, boring, laborious tasks day in, day out. Kind of. Other than the progress that are visible on the surface in my world, I have been spending a lot of time underground, preparing for future builds. I got some great plans for my survival world, so I am stockpiling in preparations for them all. My primary goal though will be to stockpile enough glass so that when the day comes for me to enclose my tree farm, I will have enough glass to do so. At the moment, my tree farm is at a standstill as I have not been working on the darn thing for weeks, if not even months now, but I will resume work on the farm soon enough, and when the day comes for me to enclose it, it will only be a good thing if I am able to stockpile enough glass to finish the job in one swift motion.


So yeah. That is where I am currently standing at. Not much progress being aside from my transportation networks getting some much needed renovations and expansions. I am however planning for changes in the future to my survival world which will bring on some variations, so stay tuned for more updates as I go along :).


And remember: if you got anything to say, whether it be positive or negative feedback, comments are allways welcome :).
