[QUOTE=mike55;35611056]10x is overkill, 5x should be safe enough[/QUOTE]
I'm at -3.5x and want to go [I]at least[/I] to -10x. At -3.5x I've already seen 3 people and my base was discovered once. -3.5x is only 15 minutes or so from spawn, if I'm going to do a relatively large base, out int he open, unprotected, then I need some serious distance. I just don't know if 10x is really inhabited or not.

I'm about 150k in total from spawn, if you want a large sprawling compound, with no chance of discovery, 100k, it's worth it.
If you plan on ever returning to spawn, or conducting raids, helping people, getting friends out of spawn, around 30k should give you excellent safety
Second or third-ish day playing and im already almost 50k out. I ran into a town that was discovered at ~35k. How much further should I go for a semi permanent base?

Hell yeah. Just hit a mushroom island as i posted.
I've decided its time to stop living in hiding and start some collaboration, I'm opening up my mushroom island to FPers. 23k from spawn, ungriefed in the 3 months it has existed.

I have nothing to lose. Pm for coords.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;35611257]if you want a base that lasts some time, go at least 100k.[/QUOTE]
Or build it somewhere hard to find, like in the middle of an ocean biome.
[QUOTE=barttool;35611578] middle of an ocean biome.[/QUOTE]
Me thinks you mean under the ocean, Atlantis style like Zero-Point is doing, he said it's not much fun though, then again, he is alone, so having a friend might make it like the Survival map "survival island". I don't recommend doing it until boats are enabled.
middle of an ocean biome can be a tiny bit challenging.

No land
have to mine to get dirt
sand is all underwater
if you need animals, new wood types, anything you don't already have, consider yourself assraped
yup
aint easy

It makes it more challenging, but also more fun.

very rewarding though
I spent 2 hours luring 2 of each animal from the nearest land mass to my base one night.
All my dirt comes from mining.
I had to silk touch grass into my base.
It's been worth it.

Instead of spending 2 hours luring animals why not just forget about meat and just eat bread/melons and stew?
and fish
I went out to 2000,2000 looking for 2k2k when I was heartbroken to see that 2k2k is at -2000,-2000.

I have a huge auto wheat farm, I have an auto melon/pumpkin farm, I have an auto reed farm, and i had mushrooms + bonemeal.
Now I have pigs, sheep, chickens, and mooshrooms.
I did it because I did not have them.

Animals aren't really necessary if you plan on just surviving. I have enough bread and mushrooms to last for ages, and they're easily replenishable. I can make wool from the spiders I've killed in the caves and/or the webs I cut down in the nearby mineshafts.
The only wood-type I'm currently lacking is jungle tree wood, and not a single fuck is given as I use wood for 2 things: crafting and charcoal.
I don't require much sand either as I have no use for glass or TNT, as I don't grief. As long as I have enough sand for cactus to grow on (for dealing with spiders in mob grinders) I'm good to go.
Dirt is fucking everywhere too.
Was just at 2k2k, pretty ass raped. Is there any other places for us FP'ers to go? Just to get started that is.
Doing good in a ravine with another dude. Found an abandoned mineshaft AND a nether fortress.

Holy shit. Link me to that texture pack, that's beautiful. Doesn't look like Eldpack.
In the form of the /b/dom of 4Chan on 2b2t.net.... AHEM.
>that feel when scanning a whole ocean to find my base. Aparrently, nearest portal from mine, which was 1000 away, was CLOSE ENOUGH, to go to there. Walking out meant going back 1000 from my base. WHAT RAVINE WAS I IN AWRARAR.
luke2thebun has a village and he wants you......
Got lost in a cave/mineshaft, acquiring 14 diamonds, 4+ stacks of redstone, 2+ stacks of Lapis, nearly 9 stacks of iron, and a stack and 4 of gold. I went through nearly 4 stacks of coal making torches to explore this damn thing, and I'm STILL not done.
Well, as Treesways was with other company and has another base, I will give out the coords to my old base. x 2500, z -7500, or thereabouts. You might want to use xray to find the exact spot, it should still have some loot and be unraided.

You most likely will never be because of the new spawn rate for caves/mineshafts and them all being connected. A cave system can extend for kilometers if not more. I recommend you find your way home while you still can. Also, to dump off your supplies (it'd stuck if you lost everything)

I have my main base coords in a text file, I just got to about the level it starts at, lined up with one of the axis', and started digging towards it.
tl;dr I made it back with all my loot easy peasy.
