Lets See Some Bases! Give Us a Tour!

[rhn]

I like TiCo Drawbridges. Lets you open your doors up or down as well as side to side. Plus it can hide itself as any non-tile entity block I believe.

I've got an Advanced Drawbridge, setup to deploy a dirt block then a fence. That way I can leave the patio of my house without having to bother with a fence gate. Plus with the Advanced, you could have an eye-level window in it if you wanted.

I didnt test out Drawbridges because of the speed of them. I was doubting that they could retract 3 blocks in time before I smacked into the door. But will give it a shot. Does trivialize a few things if possible, such as hiding everything.

what mod is Entity Detector?
Right now i use even more complex door system thanks to RIM magic trics so i am able to include lights/RS/slopes or even mircoblocks in doors.

Entity Detector is from Random Things.
Hmm sounds intriguing. Would love to be able to move microblocks etc. with pistons etc. Could actually build proper thin looking glass doors then.

Thanks.
And i promise you will see lot of crazy stuff and amazing use of RIM/PR from my project after i do server tour.

I used TiC drawbridges to make a giant castle door that closes at night time

On your GIFs of your locking mechanisms etc. your RIM contraptions seems to run really smoothly. I cant seem to mimic that even though I made sure to reduce the "Carriage drive Cooldown" in the configs to 0. I still get distinct stops every block. Did you modify any other options to accomplish this smooth motion or was it just a "lucky" side effect of low frame count GIFs? Did you for example change the "Carriage Motion" configs, and if so do you mind sharing the settings?

For some gifs i slightly edited few frames of video(gif) or reduced number of mods temporarily. (also running map in SP instead of server and reducing view distance) So yea dirty cheats.

If you want pure speed, then put them vertically on either side and set to retract one block each.

I usually build my bases in a sort of steampunky style anyway; maybe I'll try that out.

Speaking of steampunk, what do clockwork engines do?

To quote my good friend Gpuzzle, roughly,
"I like steampunk, but not 'I'm going to stick my dick in a gear because steampunk'"
Basically, please try to remember, steampunk doesn't just mean gears and brass. It's in the name, steampunk. Have some pipes, valves and gauges.

that quote was because he was having a conversation about my name of my name by the way. to me Steam Punk means kind of a dis-Utopian and victorian time society that relies on steam for almost everything.

I'm going to be. Brutally honest here, but that isn't really steampunk.

well yeah, looking back on it. But i gave it my best shot, and i think its a good flying ship all in all.[DOUBLEPOST=1392852709][/DOUBLEPOST]

well unless you ment the terminology of the ".". In America, the "." is a period.

Ok you do mean a full stop then.

Guys, there are loads of different kinds of steampunk, and steampunk isn't just about airships powered by steam. Steampunk can't really be described accurately because it means something slightly different to everyone, but everyone knows it when you see it. (like love)

This is kind of steampunky I guess, but there is a bit too much wood in the build. Try using more iron, gold, or quartz blocks.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) You watch Keralis' videos don't you?
