Building work on the Grand Western Railway has begun. The first phase of the Occident Express route is nearing completion. The line will provide high-speed connections between New Bramble Haven and Nowhere City, offering views of some of the most spectacular scenery on Xanadu on the journey. Watch o...

It's been total pandamonium since they arrived!

I got thrown off once in the last month and I've been logged in almost permanently.
That doesn't count as "keeps crashing"

It doesn't keep shutting down thunderdog, you just keep lagging out.
The problem is almost certainly your internet connection.

Nice to hear from you brandin.
OK, so you did completely do my head in at one point, but you were good fun.
It's all about the story.

the 1st House Plot in the Hidden Ninja Village is available. the public farms grows chilli peppers, essential ninja food for using the Katon no Jutsu ;) next i'll prepare plots for the Farmer's Market and the Sky Harbour. the Gate will be opened in february. It's about time I came and viewed your b...

Some amazing builds being posted up recently.
I´ve been making an egyptian temple at -5700,16,-59
Head east towards the rising sun.
It´s not fully decorated yet.

Big thanks to Shinji for keeping this server up and running. I know from experience how stressful that can be even without freak weather conditions.

It appears I've more or less completed the new mapgen for Grailtest 0.5.0 (codename Hyperborea).
Not pushing anything to github just yet as I'm taking the opportunity to rebuild it from scratch (again!).

They were all built by players.

Hi, I am trying to get mobs_redo to work, but when I start my server I get some errors. Here is the world.mt file: enable_damage = true backend = sqlite3 gameid = minetest creative_mode = false player_backend = sqlite3 load_mod_mobs_redo = true load_mod_mobs_animal = true load_mod_mobs_monster = tr...

Ah thanks, I hadn't seen them yet. :)

Edit: Oh wow! Coloured torches! /me does happy dance ...

Anyway, back to the game: I'm not keen on the torches update. I use torches for most of my lighting, so I will have to replace a lot of nodes. The problem is what to replace them with. Most other forms of lighting are too bright and modern for what I'm building or not wall-mountable. The best soluti...

Also he and TenPlus1 seem to get a whole lot of backlash for banning players (meanwhile constantly giving second chances). All new players should be banned minutes to days after joining, with a random reason for the ban, just to guage their reaction on the forum. Then unban the ones who don't attac...

Xanadu is not HOMETOWN. I'm sure TenPlus1 is quite capable of moderating if necessary. A little chat is reassuring for other players who are wondering where Xanadu has gone. Relax :)

It's just unpredictable. Keep trying. ;-)

Just thought I'd post a couple of builds I'm a bit proud of: Summer Palace on the White Path estate. I just thought Xanadu ought to have one. http://timhawthorn.co.uk/mt/images/choice/summer_palace4.png The Stella Marie, time-travelling brigantine, in dock at Port Afflatus. Flying Xanadian colours. ...

I was 5000 nodes out and hearing the same explosions as people at spawn. The problem appears to have stopped since the weekend. :)

That new explosive sound effect can be heard globally.
It's a little disturbing.
Please can you check settings and that you haven't used a stereo audio file Ten. ;-)

Small technical matter: The server has been hanging and restarting rather frequently recently. It has happened at least three times today just after Makri logged in. Could Ten or Shinji check out what is happening at that pos and possibly move Makri back to spawn, so he/she can get to play? From exp...

Ten, quick question:
I've noticed that the Protector Placer Tool doesn't work underground. Is that because the node to be replaced has to be buildable_to or not stone or something? Am I correct in assuming this behaviour is deliberate?

Hoppers - what happened?

... and the problem with climbable nodes is that you can't sneak-place off them. You have to build proper scaffolding.
