Thank you, thank you... Sorry for the delay folks had a friend staying over last week and then the easter weekend. Will be an update this week sometime, hint hint think of medieval magic.
Update 12: Guess What I Got For Easter
Haha nope sorry guys, both wrong... Actually started Thaumcraft, in a mother flipping castle(well it will be one day).
So let's get to the update:
Firstly the ****ing pyramid is ****ing done, finally!!! All that's left is to builders wand it's glass box and sort out the lighting underneath it. Will just use painted glowstone blocks to make it nice and bright. You may also notice the skway:
Yes the exterior of the skyways are done! Woot! Here I need some help from you guys, I need ideas for the towers that will fit nicely with the theme, especially how to cap them off cos I'm at a loss? Notice also another cobble monstrosity on the hill:
My Thaumcraft castle! Well the skeleton of it for now, got a bunch of nodes for recharging and have started my Super-Node bullying:
7x7x7 cube with nodes in the corners, started with a massive 120 Terra node in the middle from the Twilight Forest and aiming to get at least 91 of each aspect so I can get a 9 centivis energised node.
Farms texturised and Agricraft sprinklers installed, wanted to start on the Agricraft breeding but gotta wait a bit so I can get the weed killer.
Botania progressing nicely, Portal to Elfheim open, bunch of thermalillies and automated terrasteel production.
My dwarven entrance hall has now been converted to the Department of Mysteries
Elevator down to the Wardens office on the left and the vault door on the right. 3 layer TiC drawbridge door.
The Vault!
AE2 Laboratory(insert gratuitous exclamation mark here).
Comments, suggestions, criticisms welcome as always. And some ideas for those towers would be greatly appreciated.
I'm talking about the towers on the skyway, I don't know how to cap them visually to fit in with the skyway theme
looks good. like the skyways. Had something similar in mind for a future build. Now I kinda want to do it now
Maybe you could add a disc to the top of the towers. Give it panorama window in the style of the skyways and then use the interior to house something. It would make skyway actually lead to these small base structures instead of just being a long tunnel from one end of the base to the other(I always have problems with actually using these kind of tunnels/roads/minecart tramways/whatever unless I place something important along them. Else I just jetpack from one place to the other instead).
Oh another little note: Perhaps it would look better if you broke up the windows in the skyway into smaller parts. Something in the back of my head always nags me when I do so large windows as they would be quite impossible to make, move and place Maybe just a few vertical beams to divide it up into 2-3 separate windows per segment.

Planning a train system between the areas so I'll ramp the tracks up into the disk and use that for disembarking and switching!
I use travellers staff mostly anyway, just using this so my base isn't just a collection of random buildings dotted around the place.
Mmmm nah, I like the big windows. I tried with smaller ones but it got too 'busy'.
Really appreciated dude!

You would need to slow down to normal speed rails anyway at switch tracks and when cornering. High speed tracks are purely for straight lines.
I never bothered with HS tracks tbh. You need really long distances for it to be worth it. You need transition tracks to transition from normal tracks to HS tracks and back again every time you have a side track, a bend or a stop. Else you get catastrophic crashes.
Good buildings
I liked the last picture, since i love suspended areas like that.
Nice work
Thank you! Which last picture may I ask?

I'm a fan! HP all the way!
EDIT: derp I messed up the quote, sorry
Hahaha don't panic, really appreciated.
