Needs real stairs, and Dramamine at the top.

Right, and then when you want to give directions you just say "go from J to A to M to E to S and you'll be there".

The problem with it really is that finding the giant letters would be just as difficult as finding the thing you're actually looking for.

First incredibly primitive attempt (top of map is North based on sunrise direction):

If I left anyone/anything out, I didn't mean to. I just included the stuff I could remember or see from a quick pass. The big black circle means nothing, just a reference area. The big east-west black line is the James-Adi-Highway. The south-going black line is the burning-tree road.

Legend:
A - Base camp (storage, crafting); Kama's sky tower; Linoleum's SHARKY sign; Monroeski's farm
B - Taggart's glass covered ultrapit; Linoleum's ultracavern (accessed down stairs inside pit)
C - Monroeski's deep mine
D - Rush's Mausoleum (aka Sharky Temple aka Lincoln Memorial) and cavern below
E - Monroeski's giant vertical name sign
F - James's tree farm; Monroeski's glass underwater tunnel
G - Adisharr's fortress and dungeon
H - Smith and Sandberg Memorial Overpass
I - Linoleum's demon sculpture
J - Waterfall cavern (as listed on highway sign)
K - Flaming tree path; leads to arch cave and Timman's spiral staircase tower
L - Timman's "Colossus of Sharkies" self portrait statue (over highway)

The first rule of ultra pit is that you do not talk about ultra pit.

I've been working on a pretty cool castle on my single player game, wish I was doing it on that server. Ive got the main walls and started the first tower. I planned on having each of the 4 towers serve a different purpose, on is for crafting, one has the entrance to a mine, ect. its in the middle of a huge lake ona sandbar, with a cool bridge going over to the mainland.

didn't know if any one else knew...but I found a mp bug with tools. If you throw your tool and pick it up, the health respawns. probably old news but I just found that out

**linoleum** · 10-23-2010, 08:19 PM

About tool health resetting, I posted about it a couple posts up, but it was thrown in with some other stuff so good to have a single post about it.

md1198p: We have a TON of extra cobblestone if you want to start a castle on multiplayer.

That map is so weird to me. I always pictured my name sign being in the South.

Speaking of which, I just realized earlier today that the "I" is 5x6, and thus is shorter than all the other 6x6 letters. This means I must redo it, buy it's THE BOTTOM LETTER. I HAVE TO REDO THAT WHOLE FACE.

I put up most of the second wall today (missing the top 2 letters) in only 15 or 20 minutes or so, so redoing shouldn't take too long.

But didn't you say it was touching the sky? You need to drop the floor to expand the I!

Seeing the things you guys build on the server is depressing lol. I have not even built things nearly as cool on my SP games.

**linoleum** · 10-23-2010, 11:53 PM

It's a little hard to picture based on my map because of the scale, but points J and K are now connected by a very (very, very) long road + tunnel. The continuation of the southbound road came out only a few blocks away from the spiral tower.

Couldn't have planned it better.

The tunnel part of the road has 4 additional features:
- an exit to outside from where I hit a cavern
- a side window into this cavern
- a glass viewing area beneath your feet into another cavern
- a spiral-staircase-exit up to the door of the spiral tower

I had forgotten about that and you just ruined my night you son of a *****

Spoiler

I chose the location specifically because of the huge body of water. Lowering the water level will take FOREVER.

Alright, who put Lincoln in the memorial? It is amazing.

**monroeski** · 10-24-2010, 03:41 AM

Must have done my math wrong before; I was able to top off my name with the extra level and I can still build 3 spaces up above the M.

3 sides built for the Monroeski Memorial. Last side should go up in no time; after that, it's all up to gaining the ability to place water and lava and then it will be truly complete.
