I've gathered 6 skulls so far so I'm up to 2 beacons already. It helps a lot to have a looting sword!

Making some interesting floating islands in creative. I like to do everything by hand though, so making the shell takes a while.

despite there being only an 18% chance of getting silk touch at level 30 I always manage to get it, fortunately I need a lot of normal stone for my project on the DC server so I'm not too mad

so this is what I've been working on for the last week:



towers are going to be the same size, on the right is all of my temporary stuff (I just finished moving everything in so I'll be tearing it down)



tower entrance view (ladder not part of final product)



storage/lounge/workshop exterior view



storage interior view (didn't plan for the stairs when I was making it so they're kinda crammed in there)



lounge/workshop interior view



view of entrance from lounge

collected everything myself except the end stone (it was literally showered upon me when I first joined the server so I decided to keep and use it)

craftOS 1.4 has pastebin downloading by default

and yeah, you can copy/paste single lines in, but the edit program doesn't necessary work like that. the single lines thing only applies to when a user uses read() in a program.

firstly, there's not really any way to get clipboard data from lua without using read(), so keep that in mind.

basically, the edit program works by storing all of the lines in the currently open program in a table, and it detects keypresses, then appends the pressed character to the end of the line the user is on. it doesn't use read() and therefore is unable to receive clipboard data.

If they added an API method to access your clipboard, you could easily do pasting custom by adding a handler for ctrl+v presses and reading through the data in your clipboard
You could even then make a program like "pastie myprog" to basically put everything in your clipboard into the 'myprog' file

The only thing I could see being an issue with this is network sync, but I'm pretty sure it's synced at the data level not keypresses between clients because that would be dumb (then again, CC has a few other dumbs in, so it could be. WHO KNOWS)


Frankly the fact that CC isn't limited in its power is a detriment to my opinion of it. I like keeping my game somewhat balanced, and CC computers are very powerful and also very cheap. It's really more of a fun toy than an actual game item. RP2 computers are limited in their power and in general feel more like part of the game, though they're ridiculously annoying on account of FORTH. Stack-based programming is silly.

It's still a really fun toy though, wish there was one that implemented JS instead so I could stop swapping between if then end and if(){}

If I ever have level 30 and I DON'T get silk touch, I'm going to be pretty loving pissed
