You forgot "wait for @Flipz to start bees, then totally show him up by powering through the entire tree in like 20 minutes".
...we need to get our server back up.
On topic: This has changed a bit from my ususal, since I'm only now just getting back into 1.6 packs due to technical issues, but:
Magic World 2:
Punch trees.
Craft four chests.
Punch grass until Essence Seeds. Get absurd amounts of others along the way. (Use to fill chests)
Find place for hovel of shame.

And that's pretty much where I'm at. I'd have done Ars Magicka sooner, but I want that base to be aboveground and look nice, and the site I've picked out is a bit too far away for me to have easy access (only now that I've made a few linking books and a small transport hub in the Nether is heading out there regularly a viable option).
