Build the Marathon Ep. 7: Update Tour
4Blackstar and Narcogen have been making a lot of progress, so here's an update. We've moved house about 600 blocks to the west, to a testificate village adjacent to an oil spout and a massive cave network that includes abandoned mineshafts, a stronghold, and underground oil fires! We've penned up some sheep to get the wool we needed to build a pair of airships... I mean, hovercraft... and I've made some furniture from the MrCrayFish's furniture mod and the Bibliocraft mod, including some shelves and armor stands.
We've taken over the best house in the village. Torches now are strictly for cave and outdoor use-- indoors we have lamps powered by glowstone and redstone signals. We've built a basement (and some sub-basements) for the technology we'll need to process raw resources into the metals we'll need to build a rocket. We've got a combined IC2 and UE setup for grinding and smelting ores. We're starting out with coal power, but want to abandon it soon as coal is also an ingredient in making the steel we'll need a lot of.
At the end I promise to talk about Galacticraft's oxygen gear "next time" but we actually won't be getting to that for awhile.
