(Faultychips') Building Projects!

[faultychips]

Finally, there's about one last area I've staked my claim in so far, and it's a loooong way from spawn. This is kind of on purpose, but if you ever attempt to get there you'll realize as I did that this novelty wears off faaast. Has one of the only closest mansions though, and that's the main reason for setting up there. I don't visit as much as I used to, but it's got a lot of personal farms I like to use when the public ones are, understandably, busy. (x:-10,114 z:-1,906)

That's all underground around mineshaft depth, though. I tried to pretty up the mansion with a moat that axolotls can swim in, but it's pretty tough to keep them in when your moat connects to an entire ocean, and even before tackling that they started disappearing, so it wasn't meant to be. Still like what I got done of that though. Good place to farm totems regardless! Plus I got a few small villager houses topside too to flesh out the area a bit.

The last real big build I have to show is something relatively close to the mansion, but allll the way out in the ocean. The Houseboat. Again, seclusion is novel until it isn't. (x:-9,385 z:-2,344)

I actually really like the potential of the houseboat idea I had here; if I ever decide to revamp it I might move it somewhere closer and more convenient to access. I built it on top of an ocean monument with the specific intent of drying out the monument and reformatting it as a large-scale base...turns out even if you kill the elder guardians the regular fuckers keep spawning, ready to shoot you point blank the moment you step outside of your house.

This, I could deal with. However I tried to recoup my losses with the earlier moat by having a axolotl pool in the ocean monument. You can probably guess how that went. Even when I made the water shallow enough so they couldn't spawn, the guardians must have been shooting them through the walls or something, because every axolotl I placed there would be gone as soon as I took my eyes off them. Honestly I still love the design I made for their room, and aquamarine looks especially nice, so it may be a solid idea to recreate the room or even the whole monument someplace where guardians don't spawn, ideally outside of the ocean.

(There's actually one more small thing in this ocean area that I made...but it can be a fun surprise if you visit ;]  though honestly if you look at that area on the server map you'll probably see it easily LOL)
