That machine is called "supply converter".

It would be great to have a place to exchange schematics of houses in the new, compact .mts format.

Ruins on a server do not really work. You'd never know if it was the mapgen bug, an unfinished building, a building hit by a griefer, or just a very unskilled builder. Even +/- 6000 would imply a very large amount of space. What I saved of the map is mostly supferficial. Where structures or sneak el...

The showarea command of the landrush mod is indeed very helpful for checking the area. It also seems pretty easy to use for players. I personally do not like the landrush mod as such because it is bundled with attacking the player upon trying to dig/build in protected aeras which are not always reco...

All those protection mods out there do have one or the other flaw/limitation. Some are fine for very small areas - and small houses are easier to build well for less skilled players than large projects - but do not work at all for middle-sized to huge projects. node_ownership is the protection mod I...

My version of the map has reached 127 mb. That's already compressed and in leveldb format. The standard sqlite3 format would be slightly larger. Perhaps we ought to consider making some parts of the map available for download (just: where?). I'm thinking about huge objects like Wyverns angel statue ...

Automatic determination of the name of the item that is to be sold is certainly important. Most players do not know the name of all items they want to sell. Maybe you could add merchandise to the shops inventory first and then, after something is inserted and thus it's certain what is to be sold, sh...

A great idea for this: archeology! Bury some cobble stone or bricks in the ground for people to dig up - maybe marking them with a flower, or ridges like in real life. The ruins (and the pyramids of another of BlockMens mods) could be indicators of where things to dig up can be found. Craft a brush...

Glad to hear that there will be an update. Please try to keep the namespace of nodes and textures the same when you update and/or add something. Else I'd have to change much withhin the colormachine.

Most people who create those models work with a program called Blender.

Hm...loose windmill sails sailing through the worlds...watermill wheels going through towns...guess we better stick to save nodeboxes :-) The question remains: Can someone do animated textures for them?

I object to "anything is possible with coding"! There are limits to it. The most obvious limits would be those set by Irrlicht. Rubenwardy already mentioned hardware limits.

The mod adds very nice blocks that allow to create intresting houses. However, in survival, where you have to dig all materials you want to use, getting enough quartz for one house is a major undertaking. Quartz crystals in stone do not appear very rare, but as you need four of them for a single blo...

Maybe the copy-the-map client version used to save the map of Redcrabs server could be used as well to easily save the Enterprise in a compact format and offer it for download somewhere where that's actually possible to download. zippyshare does not work (perhaps it requires JavaScript).

The pebbles remind me a bit of mole hills. Would love to see those in the world from time to time! Hope this mod continues to develop. Bushes the size somewhere between the strawberry bushes and trees would be great.

I'm working on inhabitants for the world as well :-) Here some (hopefully) helpful answers to your questions: 1. Mobf already comes with some density control functions, especially regarding spawning. When two mobs share the same spot, it might be a case of entity duplication (a bug). 2. You can repl...

A wind- or watermill plus some simplified gears would be great! I've been looking for something like this for some time. What it takes is basicly the animation for the sails of the windmill and the animation for a waterweel. Both could be done either with models or even with signlike or an overlarge...

Ah, thanks! Do you by any chance know if the map used mapgen v6 all the time? I don't know which version of MT it started with. Seems to have been april 2012 according to thread start.

0.4.4 dev of minetest_game would be a very good for the basic mods in minetest_game since it would be roughly the same version as that on the server. Do not expect too much from seed. The server ran for a long time and experienced some mapgen changes in the meantime. Again, it may help if you use th...

Regarding how "fast" chunks are loaded on Redcrabs server, and regarding how "fast" fast running on this server here is, I'm afraid the speed of the database backend may be utterly insignificant here. It may play a role regarding possible map size. AFAIK sqlite based databases ca...

It also requires the right set of mods for the downloaded world. New versions of minetest_game have diffrent textures and slightly diffrent behaviour. That changes the buildings slightly. I'm not yet satisfied with the mods I use for the saved world.

A current image of what has been saved of the map so far can be found here . The image is over 7 MB in size so I do not want to show it here directly. What can be saved: Buildings, towns, contents of chests, inscriptions of signs etc. Also the information who has protected which area is safe. What c...

Such chests would be very helpful. I got very annoyed about the standard locked chest which got made broken by that "feature" that hides content from non-owners. Most servers are far too slow for that functionality, and most of the time you just want to check what's in which chest. When re...

want to make a some Horse mod like ostrich in mobframework for any adventure map Then start by making the blender model! The rest can be done pretty easily. Also, you may consider doing a donkey or pony instead of a real horse as those are smaller animals - and smaller animals usually look more rea...

Will that really have an effect on how many chunks the server sends? If so, it might be a good idea - and probably someone with better graphics hardware than mine ought to be sent around saving.
