[QUOTE=cccritical;30611056][sp]Is the TNT trap in the top of the tall mountain that has the wood on it and the sign the only TNT deposit? Sounds like you guys keep talking about another one.[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]There is another[/sp]
[QUOTE=TraderRager;30607501]That implies you cheated, since you would have had to use the wood pick the give you in the next room to go back and get the lightstone.[/QUOTE] Actually, it's perfectly possible to open the chest while half-way in the door, allowing you to walk back into the room to go mine it.
[QUOTE=TraderRager;30611342][sp]There is another[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]Actually there's 2 more.[/sp]
[QUOTE=TraderRager;30610803]IS there any way to get wool, for a bed in hardcore mode? I read that there is a secret piece of grass on the map.[/QUOTE]Yes, there is grass. For those who want a hint: [sp]It's somewhere along the coastline. [/sp]
I'm rebuilding Alpha. So far I've seen no mobs whatsoever and my bed won't work :v: [editline]21st June 2011[/editline] Scratch that, I see zombies. [editline]21st June 2011[/editline] well hello thar [img]http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/3408/minecraft1ay.png[/img]
[sp]Found that cute TNT iron thing. Nice try, but you got screwed over by my texture pack. I took one of the Iron blocks off and was like "what in the fuck is that?" Switched back to default, it's TNT. Dug around that mess carefully and got every single one of those blocks. Thanks again! Also, I don't know if this is you guys or not but I can see land and trees right off the coast of the island. Unless you did that on purpose I'd make the ocean a LOT bigger. Sorta immersion-ruining when I can see ice and trees just off the coast of the horrible death island I'm supposed to be surviving on. [/sp]

AGH, I couldn't help myself I used cheats to rebuild Alpha...I have failed you my minecraft brethren. 1st floor: [img]http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/7080/20110621172528.png[/img] 2nd floor: [img]http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/9723/20110621172542.png[/img] 3rd and final floor [img]http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/5164/20110621172548.png[/img]
[img]http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Kickthebaby/Minecraft/inventory.jpg[/img] Here's what I've got so far, completely blind. No help from reading spoilers in the thread or cheating. Full iron armor, too. Not a scratch on it. I have spoiled myself on [sp]the whole "blow you up chest" thing,[/sp] but I have yet to find it. I'll be sure to keep looking.

I just found a dungeon :v:

Speaking of that fucking crater, don't put [sp]a netherrack stone right next to TNT.[/sp]
If you guys make a sequel to this map, it should center around a bombed out metropolis, with a sewer system. Also, include a texture pack to go with it.
This is pretty fun, especially on Hardcore mode with Mo'Creatures. Nothing quite like the prospect of being chased by Werewolves to get you huddling in a little hole. I found some gravel not that far away from the bunker you start in. I dug that out early and I am currently using it as a home, waiting for the night. I found a cave with some stone, as well as a few iron and coal deposits. Just need to wait for my sapling to grow so I can cut it down and make some picks, then life shall become a million times easier. :black101: [editline]fish[/editline] Speaking of werewolves... [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8416055/Werewolf.png[/img] :ohdear: (I brightened the picture up a lot so you can see - it's like, midnight, really.) [editline]fish[/editline] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8416055/OhGodCreeper.png[/img] :gonk: [editline]fish[/editline] Dammit. I punched the wolf and creeper to death, was celebrating my victory, then a creeper fell on me, killed me, and destroyed my sapling. Time to start over. :mad:
Just pulled 40+ coal from a deposit very close to the spawn. Hint: It's visible from the surface.
[QUOTE=Panthereye;30609641]That's very... ambitious.[/QUOTE] you bet your sweet ass it is
[sp]The missile trap was genius, almost killed me (1 heart left :saddowns:). Same goes for the chest trap - I didn't notice it was a trap until I landed on the pressure plates and heard a "click". Ran back outside and a creeper killed me D:[/sp] Ah well, first death due to TNT and creeper on this map. Time to restart.. Did anyone else steal ALL the signs in the bunker? :v: [editline]22nd June 2011[/editline] Well, all the ones you can get to by taking the "hardcore" route. [editline]22nd June 2011[/editline] Overall this is a great map, but I have one issue. There's nothing to stop you from just mining away the bunker (and it is [i]so[/i] tempting..). Perhaps making it from a "useless" material or one that is difficult to mine would be a good idea?
Yeah, you should make the bunker from obsidian, i kinda stole the iron doors and a lot of the cobble.
[QUOTE=TraderRager;30601950][sp]You really fooled me with that tnt trap, I saw the redstone and though I was smart, then I heard the click of the pressure pad, and ran like hell. Who's idea was that, anyways? Major props.[/sp][/QUOTE] God damn. I read the spoiler, and then found it myself and knew it was what you were talking about, and I thought I was smart it got me too :arghfist::saddowns:
[QUOTE=Waffle99;30630082]Yeah, you should make the bunker from obsidian, i kinda stole the iron doors and a lot of the cobble.[/QUOTE] You're not supposed to do that :v:

This map is too easy, even on hardcore mode. Once you find the [sp]TNT wall[/sp] and the [sp]house nearby[/sp] and get enough wood to make a pickaxe, it boils down to normal survival. I had a full-fledged house and everything before my sapling even grew. You need to take all the wood out of it, and maybe make the minerals (and stone) rarer. I got my first 3 cobblestone out of the remains of the [sp]exploded bunker when you leave the hardcore mode gate[/sp]. Also the chests in the [sp]graveyard by Alpha[/sp] are quite useful - found a lot of pork in them. :v:
Mother fucker, that tnt shit....damn. Anyway, it was really easy. I had no problem. With the pickaxe provided in the beginning I got enough stone for a while and a good amount of coal. I got a ton of pork and stuff from the graves. Needs a story of some sort :confused:
[QUOTE=ColdWave;30616101]AGH, I couldn't help myself I used cheats to rebuild Alpha...I have failed you my minecraft brethren. [/QUOTE] It's perfectly possible to rebuid alpha without cheats, it's what i'm doing now.
I got a cobblestone generator running, but my only tree did not drop any sapplings. What now? :saddowns:
[QUOTE=Samuka97;30635533]I got a cobblestone generator running, but my only tree did not drop any sapplings. What now? :saddowns:[/QUOTE] Start over.
I did this yesterday, and died because I placed my bed beside a torch. I woke up to a skeleton and a creeper, and got blown up. :smith:
