Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

Really? Any idea what it's called? I love xycraft, so I almost always try to use it's variants of machines.

He says dude, it's the item IO.

 

[connerity1]

Neat. Do you plan on building walls and ceilings?

I've been working on a missile silo, because I thought it'd be fun. This is in Ultimate so I don't have ICBM or any UE mods (sadface), but I've still had fun with it.

Spoiler

This is the cover in its closed position.

You can't see the moving parts after it's opened or closed. It has recessed into the west wall.

Looking up the elevator that takes non-flying people up and down. Having this many frame motors operating simultaneously is very inefficient in electricity usage, but made the design far simpler and more compact.

A view from the bottom with the cover opened.

This is the main launch computer in the control room. In cooperation with a computer at the surface and a turtle, it controls the silo cover, the roof forcefield (to protect the frames if I'm testing a nuke below--the first nuke test did in fact destroy the cover 64 meters away), and the interior forcefield (engineering bricks look cool but aren't much for blast resistance).

I wouldn't want just anyone accessing this computer.

After logging in, there's a silent timer that locks the computer again 60 seconds after the last user input. It took HOURS to figure out the parallel API to accomplish that...

When conditions are met that won't obliterate the silo cover, the computer allows launching.

Then it asks for a countdown timer in seconds and proceeds. This is another use of the parallel API that took me a long time to figure out.

So I had a lot of fun making it. I just don't know if I'm willing to subject my friends to the hassle of installing the Ampz pack alongside Ultimate so I could actually use this. Also, I thought this might be a cool place to take off for GalacticCraft, if that ever makes it into Ultimate.

Just quoting this for the images, which mod are those bee-comb textured blocks from?
Awesome silo, btw.

Those are engineering bricks from xycraft.

I present to you guys Omega3, Would love to hear some of your guys opinions and ideas on this base. It is still heavily a WIP so let me and my buddy Sam know what you think

amazing. I only saw the beginning in your omega3 thread, but now there is already so much more.

Update time on my tree base it had a lot of world crashes all week but here it is
old chest room (still moving the items to an me network)


discs player and chest with you guessed it discs


temp farm so I don't die of hunger


Mystcraft room with link modifier which I traded 2 blocks of diamond for ( all my ages are void for some weird reason)

the ME network so far


pimped out bed room


coke oven and ore smelting room

power room( power runs all the way up the tree house)


thaumcraft tree ( I took the advice of someone on the forum and made a second tree house)


the bottom to get in (this took my an hour)

 

[Mjw]

so heres my base. it probably won't make it through the 1.5 change so i thought i'd post before i delete it. if you want any more detailed/close up pics just ask

Spoiler

main building with logo

main power storage

steves carts tree farm

bee buildings

bio fuel production

boiler

nuclear reactor

thuamcraft base

 

[Saice]

Nice build MJW

but dem signs they really kick me in my OCD.

What signs? You mean the logo thingey? Whats wrong with it?

I really like those smokestacks on your nuclear reactor. And instead of deleting your world, you should nuke it. It feels much more satisfactory. And then you can simply move into new chunks, and pretend that there was a war in your old chunks, leaving it uninhabitable. So the giant holes in your world will make sense, and the generation could be the work of wizards.

Yeah...well, have some of my base for the meanwhile. No captions, because I'm lazy. As can probably be seen by my current setup.

Well in my next world i'm going to be using Bop and maybe UB so that would not really work

Thus the nukes and moving into new terrain!

I do suppose a new world will be easier, but I always miss my old place.

 

[Mjw]

I guess i could have my old world as a mystcraft age

That's what I'm going to do when 1.5 comes. Hopefully I'll have built something worth saving by then.

Well i'm already playing 1.5

Lucky guy, I'm too lazy to compile a pack. To lazy to go to all the forum pages to download, actually.

Lucky?! I went and dowloaded the mods hows that luck? You can do the same[DOUBLEPOST=1369215959][/DOUBLEPOST]Also slightly OT but does anyone know of a mod that adds white smoke block? Like the TF ones but white

Lucky that you aren't as lazy as me!

I'll get around to it eventually, but I've been putting it off for ages.

Railcraft adds a smoker block. can't remember the smoke color though.

 

[Katrinya]

Oh man, I adore those smoke stacks. I put smoke stacks on my factory, but used lit netherrack, the smoke from which can only be seen when you're really closeby. I'll have to check out the railcraft smoker for an upgrade!
