I am having a very big problem. (again :P)

I Have gotten over DW20's way off playing but i still dont know a good nice looking house for my machines. Or just a good house at all. I Never even get to midgame because i start over again. Wish is another problem. But the thing is i want to make a cheap first night house that i dont have to expand for a while.

And also, can anyone fire up a server and teach me? I Have like, no idea how to play this.
But i am rather intrested in it.
 
I simply dig a room into a hill (or volcano if I find one quickly) for the first few days, then down to y-level 12 for some mining.

As soon as I have enough stone/basalt bricks I usually build a 15x23 or 15x15 house (depending if a play with a more techy or a more adventurous set of mods) with a 3-block wide walkway in the middle, which then serves as my main workshop. Later on, I add more buildings for powergen, thaumcraft etc., or I go vertical.

Click to expand...

Sure, here you go...

This is the base of the world I'm playing in right now, it's kind of a selfmade ultimate pack, I'm still early game:

And here is a pic from an older world, where I am already better established:

Same base from below:

Nothing fancy, I know, as you can see I'm more of an engineer than a builder... Oh, if you ask yourself what all the colored pipes are, those are from logistic pipes, that's a mod that is in none of the packs, I installed it manually.
 
Holy mother off...
Tell me what all of that does, it dosent look that fancy but complicated as 15 elephants climbing on a mountain upside down and with rocket boots.
 
Lol, I suppose you're talking about the logistic pipes, basically it's an autosorting and autocrafting system. You have an input chest (the white/white/white enderchest in the second picture), and everything you put in there gets automatically sorted into the iron/gold/diamond chests, barrels (not on the pictures), or into pulverizers, furnaces etc, and you can hook them up to automatic crafting tables, so you can request an item and the ACT pulls the ingredients directly from the storage network.

If you want to know more about it, you can take a look at the wiki but as Krapth's version isn't updated for 1.4.7, I'm playing with an unofficial version atm, it's an open source mod.
 
So bascially its an sorting system?
And wanna play sometime? I really need to learn stuff like that.
 
Yup, as I said, autosorting and autocrafting... In my opinion it's by far the best tube/pipe system out there atm.

What do you mean by wanna play? I'm not on a server, if that's what you mean, I only play ssp... Maybe you should take a look at the server promotion section, I'm sure you will find a nice one where you can learn from people (look for "friendly" tags).
 
I Mean if you can teach me, But nevermind.
And it looks complicated, and cool.
Maybe you should tidy it up a bit with Equal Trade?
 
Yeah, well, I could do that, but we would need a server for that... The thing with servers is, that I am kinda stubborn with the mods I want to play with: Logistic pipes is a must for example, no gregtech, or at least no fiddling with other mods, and some other minor things, and the combination of that is hard to find. So the only way would be to make my own server, and that seems to be too much of a PITA for me... And a server that can run all these mod's smoothly doesn't come cheap either...

I had originally planned to tidy it up with the wand, but somehow I always start a new world before I get to the "cleaning-up-the-mess"-part... :D
