Thanks! I had to increase the FOV and still didn't catch everything. I'm really liking Strombus's hideaway. Reminds me of Fallingwater. And I'm loving wolvyns SC powered farms. Though I've become fond of "Flippit" and "Fillit" as we call the straw and wood golems that harvest the two farms, the chicken eggs, and the marsh right under the mill.
Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

Yes, these are black structures iirc. the door frames themselves are black xychorium blocks and the ground in the hallways are black xy-bricks.
I have added an enchanting room and a storage room and I am currently setting up a sorting system so I will move all my stuff over soon. Expect an update within the next couple of days.

Oh this is definitely a creative mode build. We got tired of living in square boxes as dictated by the efficiency/expediency of survival so we agreed to build the base and then strip it bare(including all the lighting) then switch to survival and move in.
Theoretically, redpower 2 basalt generatorS, hooked up to a blutricity motor 'powering' a rolling machine( just to give the thermopiles something to do and use up battery power) would give you enough basalt......eventually.

Snowball generator for the snow block used above
We discussed doing it this more "legit" way, by building everything out of more common materials like stone or wood, and then slowly replacing everything with a specific wand from Thaumcraft 3 as they became available. Fun won out.

Too Much Free Time
I am well know for eating whole volcanoes, and running tons of cobble through a macerator.
I also like microblocks.

Found a nice looking island when I spawned, decided to settle on it. I like to establish workstations for each mod so the large white building is for IC2 and Gregtech, the biosphere in the sky is forestry, my thaumcraft/mystcraft laboratory is the marble tower perched in the greatwood trees. The giant ugly wood building is my oversized chicken coop with floors for all my animals. Not pictured is my nuclear reactor bunker, hidden behind the biosphere entrance, and my buildcraft room, which is underground. I can get more pics if anyone wants them.
Here is my current base in my SMP server. I just finished up my power plant so I figured I'd show it off a bit.
Mine is the building on the right with the cactus farm, the one on the left belongs to a friend.
The cactus farm fuels 3 36HP boilers each driving 18 commercial steam engines for a total output of 432MJ/t.
Connected to the MJ grid are 20 Magma Crucibles that burn cobblestone supplied by a single igneous extruder through a simple redpower machine and tubes.
The lava is stored inside a tank where it is then pumped to 20 Gregtech Thermal generators which provide a combined output of 480EU/t. Some excess lava is sent to a centrifuge to generate some small amounts of extra copper, tin, and electrum.
Upstairs in my building I have some Gregtech machines built along with a couple Railcraft blast furnaces. The downstairs is a mess as I moved one of the boilers out of there to put in the area where my new power plant was.
Outside, I have a small room set up with 2 Fermenters and 5 stills producing biofuel which is stored in a 7x7x8 Railcraft tank.
And one more screenshot from the outside.

Very industrial diesel, I like it. Looks like something you might see in real life. How many quarries are you using to support that monster?
Darkblock- thats a cool build! Whats up with the floating trees though? You wouldn't happen to be building a tower of trees for that marble tower to sit in, would you?
Celestialphoenix- are you familiar with deadlock989? He builds structures in a similar scale/style. Here is an album of some of his stuff, http://www.flickr.com/photos/safetyminecraft/page11/ I used to play with him, and damn was he quick at building too.
::edit:: gearwork, almost forgot to respond to you! Regardless of playing OP or not, thats some very impressive coordination. If you have the time, I'd like to see interior shots!

I was looking at the thumbnail of the image titled "iridium" and the stacks of white dust/sugar/something looked like stacks of iridium and I was going to ask how many quarries that took.
Wow, those are impressive. I'm working on mine a little at a time, here's what I have so far:
Marble 3 story home. First floor entry, second mystcraft/library, 3rd bedroom. Need more marble to finish side and back and will be moving the furnaces and factorization stuff to make room.
Closeup of the entry, the only room I'm calling "done"
View from my bedroom, yes 2 volcanoes & 2 natural silverwood trees
And finally the basalt tower, will eventually be built MUCH higher and have balconies and some more decoration outside. Intentionally built into the corner of my house. I also plan to move the solar array. The column was going to be a rp windmill I haven't built yet, but I'll probably put that somewhere else also.

A tiny mod, but REALLY cool:

Hey very nice could i bother you for the seed of that worldJUST started. Finally found a seed I liked and I have next to no automation lol
You could just use a glacial precipitator. Powered by a single redstone engine it's more than fast enough. I have to stop the engine most of the time because I'm overloaded with snow. Feed it water from an aqueous accumulator.
Here is my base atm, still not done since I'm building up my resources atm.

Since I have Mo' Creatures installed, it was recommended to me to build a base in the sky and keep it lit. That way I don't have to worry about monster spawning.. especially ogres.
Well, I took the advice and started working on my sky base. It's very much a work in progress and I will end up using the wand of equal trade to put in the materials I want to use later. Right now it is built out of cobble and stone because I can make a lot of it cheaply and quickly. I've spent the last couple days working on it. For the record, circles in minecraft are a royal pain.
There will be one more level above at the top built out of white marble.
8 towers for each ring. They are all 7 x 7 towers, so they actually have usable space inside. Outside ring is 2 floors, inside is 4 floors. The outermost ring is a 61 x 61 circle, so quite a bit of space inside.
