I can't seem to isolate the problem... both rooms are the same dimensions, same amount of spawners, same pitch blackness, same design.... i can't seem to make heads or tails of why there's less. I'm thinking either some might be wandering too far at one point and some of them despawning, or some of them drowning along the way, but i can't seem to find any cases of that either. If someone with zombe cheater mod happens to take a peek through the walls while testing it and sees what's wrong, let me know.

On the upside, the second one isn't THAT much weaker, and it has an option to lower the amount of spiders spawned with a lever, so in theory even shinta can use it. (in theory, since he needs to test it first.

) it also has an indicator light to tell you when the spiders are actively spawning, and another one to tell you if the psider lite option is activated, as well as a maintenance hatch to refill the dispenser.

To get to it, just go down the horrid red wool hut thing like normal, then go down the tunnel and take a left.

For now, i think i'll just rage quit and ignore the issue unless someone spots what's causing it to be weaker, and focus on making the mob grinder next.

Your second farm probably has more underground tunnels around it. All of the mobs are spawning down there and not dieing.

i ran it today first on lite and got to lvl 16 with little to no lagg at all

then i ran it at max and got from 16 to 33 had some lag but was able to trow a spash potion and cleared the area reducing the lag

either mode im able to run with manageable to no lag at all

so thanks psion

Cool, I'll just leave it as is then. And it's not an issue of spiders spawning outside the spawner area, nor extra mobs, since these are mob spawners, not natural darkness spawned ones. I'm thinking it's just some of the spiders drowning along the way, or despawning at one point where theyre more than 32 blocks away from the player, so you lose some as they climb up the elevator.

Oh well, i'll tinker with it again once lamps come out.

Finished the Great Hall. Didn't grab pics yet, but it's pretty lol.

If anyone needs wool, Helm made the sheep on my dirt pile screw like bunnies so I'm sitting on 30? at least. Feel free to color the little buggers whatever color you want. Just don't color the brown ones.

It's probably the chunk. One probably just has a higher spawn rate. Kinda like how the 0 chunk has the highest spawn or whatever.

I started building the wall that separates the the 1-3 and 1-4 section of Bolaterian Palace...
I am in for a lot of cobblestone farming...

**lolBST** · 2012-02-20 17:17

Groundchan, lemme know if you got the message I sent you, or if i sent it to a wrong person.

**Chrian** · 2012-02-20 17:24

I got it lol I've just been busy with stuff

**lolBST** · 2012-02-20 17:30

K, no problem. Was just trying to see if I sent to right person. Take your time, my place is evacuated of everything semi-valuable.

**Shini** · 2012-02-21 02:09

Hey GC, can I place an order for when you get around to doing the next one? Can I leave you like, a chest FULL of Shovels/Pickaxes to enchant? >_> Seriously, as much as I wanna exp that much, I'm going to need a shit-ton to dig my castle out of this dirt hill.

The chest isn't there yet, but I'll make sure it's in a spot easy to find.

This possible?

BTW, I don't want Silk Touch on my shovels. As much as I love it, it's annoy. Maybe 1 or 2 can have it, but I'd sooner have something else.

**Chrian** · 2012-02-21 04:08

in order for me to enchant just leave it inventory I mean all I'm doing is editing the tool with enchant using a program from your character data.
gonna probably do it on the weekend , i mean I'm up late enough but waited to far into the week so I'll just do an update on friday morning ish.
also shader mod is cool

**Shini** · 2012-02-21 07:32

kk, just lemme know the day then, and I'll fill my inventory with shovels and pickaxes

whats the name of the program

and is there a way we could get a copy file of our Char. '
We edit it to enchant the tools the way we want send the file back and you reupload or is that a no go

idea i had and thought maybe in the long run its could be faster

**Souj** · 2012-02-21 11:41

You guys all talk about enchants and shit, I just run around in zero armor using iron tools lol.
and I dont make axes, I cut down trees with candles. Cause I'm a man like that.

**Chrian** · 2012-02-21 14:20

Normally, I wouldn't mind. But it'll take me forever to dig out my castle from it's dirt grave w/ even diamond shovels. I think digging out the Inn area, me and Mots went through 3 diamond shovels.

1-3 at it's almost completitudeness.
It is no longer rock floating in the air. I just need to do some finishing touches on Tower Knight's room (biggest room on the left), and the prison tower area (bottom right).
Then I need to make the giant wall a whole lot longer, maybe make in higher(lower), and then it's time for 1-4. I have that mostly done, just need to build up walls and filler buildings, but most of it is a single building. I do have to completely destroy the throne room though and redo that.

Terrible picture but I didn't feel like taking another.

googlemaps~

**Chrian** · 2012-02-21 17:07
