Split straight down to the northern border of IC, approx 7 x 60 x 200.

Bloody hell, that's impressive. I'm really impressed with the progress that has made of the last couple of weeks. Your going to get tired of hearing this from me, but thanks to everyone who is helping on this insane project.MKindy wrote:No overhang here...

I think it was about 20 chests total, I left a WHOLE bunch last night/this morning, like 8 chests. And that doesn't consider the enormous amounts of dirt thrown into the fire. It was a ridiculous amount of work.vallorn wrote:good god Kindy how many chests did that fill?

Yeah, that's how I made the big tunnel, 'cause you can mine up to the 6th block above the block you're standing on, so that creates a floor every 7th level. Good for strip mining lots of material! Do that from the bottom level of IC (Y=9) and you get floors on 16, 23, 30, 37, 44, 51, 58, and 65 puts you just above ground level. Then you mine all the way back to the edge of the city each level, then destroy each level's floor, and you've got a nice chasm.Saladus wrote: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. Hopefully it'll just be another organized way to easily clear out lots of cobble / dirt
I must say I agree.vallorn wrote:Black while 5 diamonds per double chest was way to much i think youve overcompensated.

Yup! Those are the exact co-ord's I'm using, since starting the second level at 16 prevents anyone accidentally mining from Y=9. I've used this method on the southside on pretty much most of the southern side of IC. Zinirus really liked it and we worked on it for a while.MKindy wrote:Yeah, that's how I made the big tunnel, 'cause you can mine up to the 6th block above the block you're standing on, so that creates a floor every 7th level.

Excellent work! But, please do me a favor and fence off things like this, lots of people die!MKindy wrote:No overhang here...

I have to agree with Zinrius here, I have to give props to Saladus and Zin for the work they put into setting up the levels to mine in IC. It is the best way i've seen to clear out large areas and its easy enough for anyone to figure out what they are supposed to do.Zinrius wrote:*post above*
This is the safest, funnest and most productive way to mine IC without to many mobs ( so long as you light accordingly )
It also looks appealing and professionally done. I hope the miners of IC take upon this example and continue to mine in accordance to the style.
Thank you ~Zinrius
i agree with this. if you pay us too little noone will work.Furdabip wrote:Okay, so, Black. At fair market value, a double chest of Cobble is worth just over 2 Diamonds. I think you should offer 3 diamonds per double chest for manual labor + the cobble. If not that, then 2 for the most fair deal.

Was it not voluntary work to begin with?vallorn wrote:i agree with this. if you pay us too little noone will work.Furdabip wrote:Okay, so, Black.

True, but that also leads to overhang as people mine the lower 20 levels looking for gold and diamonds. I'm not above admitting it was a motivating factor for me to get paid, though I wonder if my copious mining raised inflation concerns...DuplicateValue wrote:Was it not voluntary work to begin with?
Did you know we have our own chat channel? Yes, we do! Just type /ch ic for all matters relating to the Imperial city.
