Built a shaft 2 tiles deep going from way below the seabed up to it. The shaft flooded (as wanted, it was going to be a boat elevator). After getting annoyed at the boat physics again I decided to stuff it and just make a big ladder. Said big ladder removed all water facing each ladder tile and one tile away. The water ended up just kind of hovering over the shaft. Then I extended it up out of the water and the water dutifully moved out of the way of the ladder.
So if anyone wants a quick way to make a water-free bubble under the water, ladders are a viable alternative to creating and destroying blocks, and also keep water out even with nothing around them.
The results of this can be seen on Vic's server if you tgo to the... Southern? (in the direction the clouds come from) lighthouse and go down the waterslide in the middle of the work-in-progress dam, or the wooden outpost with attached port nearby (feel free to use the bunch of boats at the dock).
Welp, this thread has officially hooked me on this game. I hope you're all pleased with yourselves.

Pretty soon we're going to have our own caliph and be the pinnacle of society, but later we're gonna get corrupt and get split apart by the damn capitalist interests of foreign nations.

i can't wait to finish this damn project. we basically blew a gigantic hole to the bedrock with TNT and now we're carving out an area to put a full-sized fortress in
Man, glass really needs to smelt faster. Rapture is never gonna get completed at this rate :P
I don't get why you have to wait for glass to smelt. If you can instantly form a stick and two bars of iron into a sword, why can't you use coal to instantly turn sand into glass?
i never did think of multiple furnaces, but i still believe that not all things that you smelt should smelt at the same speed or with the same amount of coal
i want regular stone instead of cobblestone but i don't think it's worth the coal (despite rolling in the coal)
I don't see any real reason to have issues with coal. I haven't gone too crazy with the mining and I've got more coal than I know what to do with. The smelting times do suck, but it's not like building a furnace is too big of a hassle. I'm planning on building an additional room into my hideout and having it be a dedicated furnace room.
And wood is a bit of an oddity as fuel. Every wood product except sticks lasts long enough to get about 1 and a half smelts out of it. Sticks only last for half a smelt. Most efficient, logwise, fuel, is planks.

I created a little pool and planted the bamboo. It stays there for a little while but every now and then one will 'pop' out and I have to go pick it back up

it should just grow to 3 high in like a game day or so
just smack the middle square and the middle and top will pop out and give you 2 more to plant elsewhere
gotta be dirt planted on
and this method leaves the bottom to regrow and give you exponentially more

Not to mention all my coal has been going to torches to stay alive against the zombie hordes.

wood is highly inefficient.
you can cook 4+ pieces of bacon with 1 coal,
You can only cook 1 bacon with a wood.
Im willing to bet you cant smelt 45 iron off 64 wood.
Edit: I think it takes around 64 pieces of wood (16 lumber) to get 64 pieces of cobblestone

...turned out pretty awesome though:

Actually, you can smelt 64 things with 48 wood. Planks can complete an operation-and-a-half per block.

Torches can hold sand and gravel in place.

Mine craft is like an early alpha sandbox of a FPS version of a 3D graphics Dwarf fort.
If that sounds at all like your thing you will enjoy mine craft.
Bingo.

anyway, De?ad, Mori and I have a fairly sweet mountain home going on
Generated a north-south facing mountain, dug a tunnel all the way through
On one side is a room with a glass skylight, on the other is a glass gallery jutting out of the mountain
You can watch the sun rise and set without leaving the house
