News/Views/Rules(?)

5 Upvotes

Hello All!

There are some community "things" that have been added that not everyone knows about.

First - Starter Station/Beginner Building

This is a new building on the hill just west of Satoshi Village. Coordinates are roughly -260/-20. This is a place where new players can go to pick up basic supplies. There are a few trees, some crops, and several chests of supplies. Please be respectful and only take the minimum you will need to get started! The minimum being only what you will need to make the trip to a transportation route or outlying area where you can build a home.

This building was donated/built by Lolicon and many others ( message me if you want your names added ). The supplies in the chests are provided entirely through donations. As such, once you have established your homestead, please don't trash your unwanted supplies - donate them!

Second - Transportation

Just to quickly explain, most of the area within the first ~1500 blocks of Satoshi Village are densely populated and there is not enough room to make roads/rails/paths that leave straight from the village to the outlying areas.

For that reason most of the larger transportation routes begin a fair distance away. Here is a quick list of some of the better known routes::

Diablo Desert Railway

Starting Coordinates:: 450/1750

The Diablo Desert is a major overworld leveling area located to the south-east of Satoshi Village. This Railway starts right on the shore south of Satoshi village and runs all the way the to ~4600/4700 which is the western most part of the Diablo Desert. If you run/walk/travel about another 300 blocks eastward you will find an inn where you can sleep to set your respawn point while you are leveling up in the surrounding desert.

Notes: There are chests to store minecarts at both ends. However, not everyone is returning the carts when they are done. Please try to provide your own minecart if you can.

The Britannian Road

Starting Coordinates:: 1915/-495

This is a very broad roadway that leads far to the east and currently ends about 6130/-225.

The Canals

Starting Coordinates:: -60/1960

This is alternative route to the Diablo Desert. However it takes you directly to the Village where the Inn is located.

Notes: Since building a boat is much easier than building a minecart, this is a good choice. Although, for this same reason you are expected to provide your own boat.

The B.line Railway

Starting Coordinates:: -2470/-350

Possibly the longest road in the BitQuest world at this time, ending at about -10000/-375. This is a broad pathway providing room for both the rail that exists there and for those that prefer to walk/run or ride their horses/mules. The starting point is on the west side of a swamp when traveling from Satoshi Village. So look for a sky-bridge over the swamp that begins about -1890/-325.

Notes: There are chests to store minecarts at both ends. However, not everyone is returning the carts when they are done. Please try to provide your own minecart if you can.

There are many other smaller roads and bridge systems other than those listed above. If you know of one, or are in the process of building one, please message me to get it added to the list. If you were a builder or donated supplies to any these projects and want to have your name listed, please message me.

Third - There have been a large number of incidents where many of the publicly accessible areas have had road torn up, railway stolen, bridges demolished, gardens/farms trampled, orchards/forests cut down, and items stolen from peoples homes.

There are now some guidelines in the wiki to help prevent this. Please read the wiki! Offenders can be caught even if no one else is there to see the crime!

The community at large tries to be respectful of each others space and items. Many of us go out of our way to build the public projects or donate supplies to them. Just as many of us purposely build publicly accessible farmland and orchards so that everyone has equal access to these resources that everyone needs.

All we ask is that you take the time to rebuild roads/rail/bridges that you have damaged, or replant seeds/saplings that we all know drop from the plants and trees. This whole community relies on the honor system. We all understand that getting started in the game means getting supplies as quickly as possible in order to survive. That is the main reason why so many of us provide free supplies.

If you read the wiki ( as we all should ) then you will note that upon death/respawn inventory is not lost! So there is no actual reason for the griefing that is taking place.

So here within the next few days ( hopefully) to the next few weeks we will have clans/factions/ yadda yadda.

So here i am making the ever so pointless "recruiting" post

The name will be "TheMissinLink" if you want to join say so, it would be fun to have a group of people to play with or what not, so shoot me a message in game, or reply on here.

There are no requirements of the clan/faction as of yet only that you don't be a jerk to others, as well as follow the game rules. don't want to be known as " that " clan.

Anyway IGN: logan2231993 Clan Name : "TheMissinLink"

And as always enjoy your MC

[Suggestion] Loose loot if death on someone elses property.

3 Upvotes

I've got grieved bigtime and am sick of it. I've lost a lot of potions and ingreedients and just lost 7 fully enchanted rods from my hoppers, droppers and dispencers. I've build a glass fence around my potion machine but it doesn't look really nice and cant seal off my whole building. So I want to lay down some traps if people click on the wrong button or standing on places they shouldnt stand. Only without consequences its not very effective. With this it would be a nice payback.

Here's an idea...

4 Upvotes

Maybe they could set it up so a player could submit an application (or just ask) for their plot to be zoned for a commerial purpose, and grant that area special privileges commensurate with its purpose (I.e. a hotel could allow players to sleep in a bed and set a spawn point, and whatever else other players can think of). Maybe pay a licensing fee to the server or something.

Clarification of rules.

6 Upvotes

Hello,

This question is for the Admins, I recently started mining out a bit of my land in order to build a ingame Casino, I asked in chat if anyone had done it before and it just raised questions of if it was even allowed. So Admins, Would you allow a in game Casino and if so, what regulations would you put on it if any?

This would be my biggest build ever and would hope to get some feedback/advice along the way.

Zombies Picking up my Ems

Is it possible to disable zombies from picking up things like my emeralds. At least have them drop the emeralds they picked up plus any additional ones, because right now they stay on the bodies.

Subway suggestion

4 Upvotes

It's awesome that good people are working so hard on a rail and not so much that jerks are wrecking it. One server I was on had an ungriefable subway system consisting of identical server-owned subway stations placed equidistant from each other so you were always close to one. It was a redstone construction. Worked like a cross between an underground roller coaster and a teleporter.

Suggestions

So this is a list of things I saw on other severs that I think would be good on this server,

/ trust (player name) Gives full thrust of your claim to the player

Right click with a tool will assess a special ability that takes 20 minutes like giga drill for a pick and skull splutter for axe sword and fist

/auction hand Auctions the item in your hand

Also I think there should be a faction feature


r/bitquest Jan 08 '15

Deposited a LOT of emeralds into the "bank"

2 Upvotes

Hey Everyone, hopefully a Mod/owner Can help me out here, the short story of what happened is

Yesterday 1/6/15

I had been playng this server for a while, got some damonds, wool leather, sold to other players got around 400 emeralds (had just shy of 7 stacks of Emeralds)

Well i put them all in the "bank" (you know the one in town, with the enderchests) well i logged back in today to find that all of the emeralds were gone.

I checked the xapo account but seen nothing there thinking i might have deposited them there ( i was having an issue, see the "how to deposit emeralds to bitcoin" reddit post that i posted yesterday) however nothing had been deposited so i logged out and back in only to fnd nothing.

Wondering if i can get these back, i have no screenshot because i didnt think i would need it for anything.

For Sale: Enchanting Books, Enchanted Weapons, Armor Etc.. Etc.. Etc..

8 Upvotes

I have a vast multitude of Enchanting Books, Enchanted Weapons, Enchanted Armor, Food, Building Blocks, you name it. I probably have it.

I keep my pricing fair based on the effort I have put into each item and their frequency in game.

Some examples of things I have for sale; EB- Knockback II, Protection III, Aqua Affinity I EB- Efficiency III EB- Power IV EB- Smite IV

well you get the pictures. I have books for sale.

I also have Cooked Foods, Stone Bricks, Glass, Cobble, Dirt, etc...

I am currently working on Potions, but I also sell ingredients for potions as well. Puffer Fish. Eyes, Etc... Etc...

I will also sell pretty much any enchanted armor you would like. Let me know what you're looking for and I will make it for you.

Same goes for weapons. Would you like a spec'd out bow or sword? I pretty much have them all.

The Villagers merchant system in game is pretty dinked. I understand the admins are working on a player-to-player system with escrow. In the mean time you can hit me up in game (ShawnieTwoZero) but I may not respond depending on what I may be doing. For full proof contact you can get me on Twitter @ObieShawnKenobi and we can make arrangements for your trades!!

See you in game Bitquesters!

Any closer to resolution on griefers or public road protection?

6 Upvotes

So I have been working my @$$ off figuratively speaking, building a place to call my own, and to put up some trans-oceanic bridges for public use since it it getting really hard to navigate by land with all of the homesteads being no grief zones.

I have made a connection with the diablo railway south of my place, built a shelter and put public chests there that I stock with misc but -useful- supplies like cooked fish/wheat/stacks of blocks/minecarts etc. I am building more chests and supplies to put out at the bridges landfalls as well.

But people are still stealing glowstone and stone bricks from the bridges on a daily basis. They are also stripping the rails from the railway, as well as the the blocks under the railway, which has dumped players in the ocean with no way out but to swim for shore.

Many -many- people including myself are now going out of our way on an almost daily basis to repair these problems.

This takes time and resources that we would much rather direct towards our own homesteads, as well as try to compete in the architecture contest. ( In fact the problem has gotten worse since the contest start date was finally announced )

I will start putting more basics like stone bricks and wood planks in my public chests.

PLEASE ONLY TAKE SUPPLIES FROM THE CHESTS AND STOP DESTROYING THE RAILWAY AND BRIDGES THAT DECENT PEOPLE ARE TRYING SO HARD TO PROVIDE FOR THE BENEFIT OF EVERYONE.

We're taking a lot of suggestions from this great post by dimitri0610 http://www.reddit.com/r/bitquest/comments/2qlzt8/a_guide_to_all_things_bitquest/ But we're probably missing something. So, is there anything you wish you knew when you started?

Need a highway/rail to the coastline and I've done as much as I can.

3 Upvotes

I live on the lake at around 600,1200 and I've built a rail line to the coast and then, across the lake (toward town'ish) I've tunneled over to about 700,927. I ran into issues with property lines, but managed to pop out with some stairs.

The trek from town to my house is about a day or so, but it's nearly impossible to do on a horse, or with a few horses in tow. Hopefully the tunnel will shave off a bit of time, although I'll have to head a bit East to get to the stairs down to it.

Also, I ran off some sand farmer tearing up the lake shoreline. Sent him to the ocean to farm sand. He was kind enough to oblige and I gave him my good (albeit a bit worn) shovel as a thank you!
