Thanks guys. And yeah, that blue block floor looks like it might be lapis blocks when using the John Smith texture pack.
I'm using four pistons, two on top and two on bottom, and a toggle gate to keep them open/closed when using buttons and pressure plate.
Nice base. I love the Thaumcraft room especially. What is the thing above the Alter with the lava?So here is my current base. I started out hollowing out the tree, and had my base there, but I expanded into the hill instead now. So this is outside, don't see much, secret door in tree (not really useful, since my kitchen entrance is just left of there).
A little farm I have just made, need to expand on it, so my kitchen can have a use. Also a small pond with shells, which make pearls.
So this is my WIP entrance of the tree, still working on that. It continues into my storage room, and got a door to my kitchen.
My storage room, which of course got automatic sorting, so I just drop my stuff in the corner (which you can barely see to the right) and it gets put into the right places.
The stairs up to my magic room. Btw, I have placed Warden Stones instead of having door, which is nice when you get some rubberbanding.
This is my enchanting room, upstairs (using the levetator) is my potion room, which is just a room filled with shelves and potions
And of course there HAD to be a secret door/bookshelf entrance to my Thaumcraft room.
Downstairs, connected to my entrance room and my storage room, is my kitchen with it's storage.
And my machine room, don't have many machines yet, only my automatic power plant. There is more pictures regarding my automatic power plant here.
And that's pretty much it. Also got a spawner room below, but it's not really finished, although its working. Want to use computer craft to control the turtles, instead having to manually restarting them.
The Alter is what you need to make the more complex object, and consists the four bent pillars around it and the pillar with the floating cube, plus some pillars around it to place objects. Everything else above it is just decoration.
I knew that. I was wondering what the black thing with the lava in it was.The Alter is what you need to make the more complex object, and consists the four bent pillars around it and the pillar with the floating cube, plus some pillars around it to place objects.

Ahh its just a tank from Tinker Construct, just for decoration. The black bricks I made the room with, was from there as well, Seared bricks.

Nice pillar you have there. What is it? I could use some of whatever you're looking a block too low to ID for me.(unless it's a tank of some kind, in which case I could benefit from knowing what you put in it)
I'm guessing it's a water stream encased in smeltery circle block multiparts with an extra utilities glass multipart aswell
Maybe; had hoped it was a specific non-vanilla fluid or block as it looked badass.
I can run monster, or I can run a 256 pixel texture pack. I don't think I could do both at once. 128, probably, but still, I usually run vanilla textures.texturepacks helps a ton
if I'm right, Greed is using John Smith's texturepack
Like so many others, I wandered to this thread and was shameful of my simplistic setups and thought I would try creating something actually worth seeing. I've only ever used microblocks functionally to separate wires/pipes and to cover up holes in the wall, but I threw a little bit here and there.

I hate it when people say things like that, and then show off bases that look like that. 
Awesome work. Try adding some more detail to the chain, or adding smaller support chains in other places, to offset the main one.

My main problem is that it doesn't look proper in terms of physics. It does look a little bland and not very artistic as well. Maybe if I do an Atlas...ish figure holding up the main tower, the chain would look like it belongs.
I was thinking more along the lines of turning it into a more solid structure. As if the base started out anchored in place by the great big chain, and then more chains were added as the place expanded.
But, I like the idea of the atlas figure as well.

Well, I see two physics problems:
1) There's no reason it should stay aloft, you should add some balloons, propellers, jet engines, etc.
2) that base, assuming it did have some magical method of staying afloat, would tip around a lot, as it has only one chain keeping it down, and so needs more chains.
