58 the problem is that armor loses durability by just wearing it and I need more leather if I want to get metal armor. Also I hate that the compass in Survivalcraft is gated behind diamonds which I expect to find very deep

62 good news: my desktop now automatically selects a random picture from chillstep.info and sets it as the background
bad news: the process of downloading stops everything until its done thus I can't use it until it got the picture >_>

63 also because I tought that marble generates in the world in survivalcraft I wasted a copper pick. How, in the recipeadia I saw that there's a recipe fir it requiring a piece of sand and a piece of limestone in a furncace.

64 and fixing that was as simple as putting an & on the right spot. (I tested it with fast internet speed and none at all. thus unless curl and wget don't even try to download something if you don't have an internet connection it should work)
Here is the code, assuming windows has something like curl and wget it should be easy to make it working on windows as well. I grabbed the json module from here
Code:
function getBackground()
    local JSON = assert(loadfile "/home/lenscas/.config/awesome/default/extraLua/JSON.lua")() -- one-time load of the routines
   
    local f = assert (io.popen ('curl --data "" http://chillstep.info/jsonLoadGal.php?gal=gal-epic'))
    local rawText="";
    for line in f:lines() do
        rawText=rawText..line
    end -- for loop

    f:close()
    local inJson = JSON:decode(rawText)
    math.randomseed(os.time())
    local key=math.random(1,#inJson)
    print(inJson[key])
    --print(table.concat(inJson))
    os.execute('wget http://chillstep.info'..inJson[key]..' -O /home/lenscas/backgrounds/awesome/newBackground')
end
getBackground()
Now I just wish I had more time so I could change how it looked a bit more to my liking

65 I've found a sulphur vein. That means that some magma is close. I've mined so much at basalt level that i've almost gone through a full iron pick

67 I have no use for magma. I was expecting that you could use it as fuel but recipaedia doesn't mention that. Also sulphur's fuel value is 10 while coal chunk's value is 80. With 4 coal chunks you can smelt one stack(40 items) of something that's smeltable. I don't want to do the math, but I can tell you that sulphr sucks as a fuel and I don't have a need fkr making fires.
