Looks great! Seeing parts of IC start to spring up is motivating in helping to clear. We've cleared out 3/4 of the 3rd floor, just a bit more to do in the north east corner, and floor 3 will be complete. After that it's probably best to start work on the ground level just so there's room for outline...

Saladus

Just wondering... are we going to clear EVERYTHING within the borders? Or are we just doing floor 3 and below? Regardless, it still is best to clear below floor 3 after it's done so the outlines of The Imperial City can be laid.

Saladus

Sure thing, if you help on Southeast corner, start toward the southern side. You'll see I've been working a 12 block wide (I believe it's 12) tunnel toward the Eastern border. Once that's done we can just TnT our way toward the North.

Saladus

I wouldn't mind doing parts of Middle Earth ... if IC is ever finished... but no way I'd ever do Minas Tirith again... you'll see me chatting at some points in this vid

A good thing about the channels that we've dug out in all four directions is that we can easily tell when a corner is done. So that's officially 1/4 of the 3rd floor cleared out! Awesome work Infesord! I'll be working on the South East corner of the 3rd floor when I can. Also, how do you think we sh...

Saladus

Good lord, that's why I'll be waiting for the price drop before buying.

Saladus

Just curious Infesord, anything change from how we currently clear a floor in two layers? Saw the area btw, awesome amount cleared

Saladus

Yea it's possible, I sort of worked on one in another server and stopped after a while just due to boredom, but I already have extensive experience with building seats in rows with Madison Square Garden - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpqs_CYEmh0 Plenty I learned from building that, mainly with how...

Saladus

Yes thank you for that. Lath was fixing a major problem with some tnt holes that made the landscape unworkable, however he must have forgetten to refill the mountin. All this was and shall be was a simple error. I stand by my promise that the digging shall remain natural. There's a few more areas a...

Someone moved a mountain, literally a mountain in the Northeast corner. Granted, there was already a huge crater there, but still, kudos for clearing that... it was a huge amount. However, at the same time please don't destroy chests in the process :( Mine were out in the open on a platform, and con...

Saladus

Infesord and I worked on a southern channel opposite to Mkindy's channel and made pretty good progress last night. The method of clearing from center out to the 250 block border seems to work very nicely, so I may just clear and extend channels from the center. Here's a quick diagram to show how I'm...

I'm starting to think maybe black should have members demonstrate they know how to use TnT effectively and efficiently before it's given out. I know we said do whatever topside, but honestly, it's just going to create problems. Here's how it looks when it's done in an organized manner. It's clean, l...

Saladus

Just a heads up, I've begun removing floor platforms that are no longer needed (any floor that isn't essential to clearing the blocks above your head). Even if we are making great process, it's eventually hard for people to see how much progress we are making if platforms are still staying the same ...

Saladus

Just a heads up, only 1 single pick-axe left in the dispenser :shock: Also, any chance we could get another payday soonish? If anything, I'm running out of chest space in the warehouse and I'm sure others are going through the same (unless you want us to just create more chests, but I figure that'd ...

Saladus

Also I have to ask, is block lag pretty much gone now? I was clearing earlier and it was going WAY faster, probably only 1 block would return per 20 cleared or so. If so, clearing will actually be fun again!

Saladus

The reason for doing TnT in the organized way Infesord has been doing is simple - it's organized and it makes every block easy to access. Take a look at the western wall. I haven't logged in for a day or two, but until we got the floor system set up, no one would even dare touch that side of IC. Peo...

Saladus

Also, the clearing system has has been set up on the ever-daunting west side cliff (thanks I believe to Infesored). There's a lot of issues with open space and overhangs on some floors, so if you need to extend the floor you're on, just do so. It'll be a lot easier to just clear out the platforms wh...

Saladus

2 is what is with that new Minecart system going down into the core. I think it looks unnecessary (people using it more for fun roller coaster than actual a to b transportation) and it should be removed. There is a lift system that works just fine to get to the few levels, and of course we'll have ...

Saladus

Hehe....I don't think it feels right for me to help at IC much any more. I don't know where I should really mine any more, and it seems other people have become much more professional about the whole ordeal. Oh well, it was good mining times while it lasted. It really isn't that complicated Unusual...

Saladus

So I've begun to copy Mkindy's method (or I believe it was his) of making stairs in the southeast, and southwest corners that lead to a platform after every 7 levels. So while you're on each platform, you can mine as high as possible while standing, without fear of taking out the platform above you...

Saladus

Ahhh I see I was literally only thinking of the main city itself. I COMPLETELY forgot about those extra districts. It's obviously been too long since I've played Oblivion. Thanks!

Saladus

Hmm curious, why outward 450? Seems way overkill unless I'm missing something... are we including landscape around the City? From measuring the grass area between the outer wall that we have up, and the inner wall (the raised area before the council chamber) I measured 16 blocks. For reference I the...

Saladus

Any chance we could get an idea of how far out from the inner wall we need to clear? From what I've seen online, the next section out (with all the residential and trade districts etc) looks to be about twice as wide. If we had an idea of how far out to mine these walls down, it may help save us fro...

Saladus

I've been creating some steps here and there to lead up to some overhangs. We're doing great on the Y 9 level for the ground, but there's still a lot of overhangs that need to be worked on.

Saladus

I'm pretty grateful Vallorn asked that. I died for the first time a day or two ago and haven't had the will to log back in and run all that way. Will ask when in game.

Saladus

I've been clearing casually still. Question however... is planting trees near the center an issue? For now I've just been doing it to have a source for wood, as there's literally no other trees until you climb all the way to the top and wander out a ways. Logging in today, all 6-7 trees were cut dow...

Saladus

That's fine, digging is pretty therapeutic at times as well. I'm liking the overall vibes on the threads around here, so I'll check out the server tomorrow if I have time

Saladus

Hello folks, registered here just to post and say how impressive this project looks! I just wanted to ask... 1) How many folks do you have active on the project? 2) Are you looking for / accepting new people to the task? My works include Madison Square Garden which I crafted all by hand - http://www...
