The First Of Many Things To Come: Mines!

[Ever 2648]

STRIKE THE EARTH!

 

EDIT: Remember! Support your mineshafts! No stripmining! 

 

Read this! http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/80285-lotc-official-mining-and-excavation-keeping-things-logical/

 

*cough* I'm not really sure what to say so I'll keep it simple:

 

• Mines are being added, one for each race, as well as one or two extras.
• They work a bit like our current system: Find a mine entrance, walk into, bam. You're in a mine.
• Every mine will be "freebuild". You can dig as far as the region permits. No RNG, no limitations. 
• The mines will be regened after a set time. That time hasn't been decided yet, we'll see as we go along.
• Every mine will have iron+coal, with racial mines getting specialty ores like we decided beforehand. 

 

Currently, the Trog/Salvus mine has been completed. I should be able to get the rest of the mines up within the day, we'll see. Next up will be the Dwarf mine, which is the biggest one of them all.

 

The first mine can be found at:

 

x -48, z -159.

 

NOTE: Things can, and will, change. The mines may be made smaller or bigger, or they might have less (or more) ore in the future. 

 

A big thank you to:

 

• Freya - I based this off of the concept she was working on till a rollback killed it. ^^
• Alan - Originally gave us the idea of what to do.
• Viper - Helping me with warps the first time around
• Firespirit - For building the entrance
• Deco - for helping me with a worldedit thing
• Cappy - for some last minute (but muy importante) fast travel help

 

 

 

FURTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS:

 

1 - Dwarf Mine released. Biggest mine, with the widest variety of ore. It replaces your old fast travel mine that was basically empty at this point.

 

2 - elf mine added

3 - sandstone/desert mine added

Goddamn that entrance is awesome. Good job Firespirit.

 

And a good job to Ever and his lackeys for putting this **** together in a couple days god why is Ever not an admin.

Was not expecting to get the first mine, time to set up boiling oil directly above it. >:D

I made sure to have some ores just outside the region limits. C'mon, who doesn't miss that?!

No structure on LoTC is complete without the bloody logs with minecart tracks on top of them

As of 10:45 AM EST, the Dwarven Mines are released.

 

This mine replaces the old fast travel mine you guys had. It's also the biggest mine and has the biggest stock of ores.

rittsy told me the Halfling mine was in the works about a month or two ago. Can I get an eta on that and if possible make sure we just get a clay mine with a bit of coal?
