Just lighting it with flint and steel will reactivate it. Or you can try and get another ghast to hit it with a fireball, if you're feeling daring

Anyone else having trouble logging into the server today?

EDIT: It won't even let me attempt to connect from the game. Says the server is out of date. I was on earlier today.

I figured it out. My client updated to 1.6.4 without me realizing it. I just needed to change profiles back to 1.6.2.

Alright… the cathedral is continuing to progress nicely. Thanks to Tamur and Nigel for their continued help on this large project! I probably won’t be able to play for a few days, but there are some projects that can be worked on in the meantime:

1.) I need help finishing the west side. It can be an exact copy of the east side that is complete

2.) The floor has started to go in. I am making a layer of oak planks under sandstone for the floor. The oak will be the ceiling to the future basement of the cathedral.

3.) Chandeliers. I have space for 4 more chandeliers. If anyone is up for this, I have marked where they go on the ceiling with a fence post. Just copy the smaller of the two that are already complete for all the remaining ones. I think most, if not all, of the materials are in the chests, with the exception of torches. Once these are up I think we can safely take down all of the scaffolding.

Speaking of resources, I am starting to run low on my stocks. We still need the following:

- Sandstone/sand (rough estimate of 10-15 stacks of sandstone)
- Stone Brick (maybe 20-30 stacks)
- A little more glowstone (no more than a stack)

I should have enough coal for cooking 30 stacks of items in my old town house basement furnaces. It would be great if anyone has any on hand that they could lend to the effort. If not, we’ll need to spend some time gathering them.

As a heads-up, I may be a bit slow on updates and server maintenance for a while. My wife gave birth yesterday and the result will, obviously, complicate my schedule somewhat. If there is an issue that needs to be dealt with or an update that needs to be installed, you can help out by emailing me at tincow@gmail.com. I check that account regularly, even if I'm not otherwise reading the web.

Congratulations! My best wishes for the three of you.

BSmith, I'd be happy to supply the sandstone, especially as I feel slack about not working on the cathedral itself. I'd previously stockpiled a double chest's worth for a project I later scrapped, so it's a good excuse to clean out my stores. I should also have some stone bricks lying about which I'll drop off too.

Congrats! To steal the Peace Corps’ slogan, it is the hardest job you’ll ever love. Hope it all went well and everyone is healthy.

That would rock. (Excuse the pun!)

There are some chests inside that it should all fit in one way or another.

Thanks!

Outstanding. From your tone it seems like there were no major problems. A little TinCalf running around the stable.

Congratulations on this fabulous news, Scienter and TinCow.
All the best to you and Little TinCalf for the busy and exciting years, that are now ahead of you.

When you get home and your lives approach a somewhat regular rythm again, check out the map and City of Orgcraft.
Different patrons have left little surprises and good wishes for you there.

Hi all,

First off, I am a deep and fervent admirer of the amazing train system here and all the time everyone has put into making it. It's easy to use and moves me around easily. And I love the Underground-style map.

That said, by its nature, the trains are limited to delivery to specific locations (or hop out at a random location and hope you don't hit the ground too hard!)

What I'd like to do is build small harbors within a half-day's journey of each other, with the first "ring" of them being within a half-day of the harbor that has been planned (around 380,50). These small harbors would not be large -- small docks, a small room for accommodation, and a short but bright lighthouse to mark their location for travellers. This would allow relatively safe, and flexible, boat travel to even the most distant and out-of-the-way islands.

Would this be ok with the community?
