Working as Intended

Time to march onwards once more!

Back to... whatever bloody island the game generated for me at the beginning. Also, many thanks to friends/random people who gave me some tips on how to turn Cobblestone back to its much cleaner, stony form. Also also, how to build underwater. Which becomes important~

Well, as important as anything can be in a game like this.

Great. I'm horribly lost, and my only way back currently involves either killing myself (and losing all my shiny items) or.. no, that's about it.

Progress!



Nothing to the right.


Or behind. Except for Pigs, which'll make some nice nom-noms when I need health.

But that's hardly a concern at the moment. Back to turning around on the spot to find things of immediate help!



Damn.

Well, hey, at least there's a possibly good vantage spot from the top of that mountain. And it's not like I've got anything else I can currently do. Onwards!



Unfortunately, I only got about half-way up before the Sun started to set. Figs!



After building my multiple bases, going back to squatting in a self-made tiny cave isn't very stylish.

During the night there were several dozen Creepers and Zombies. I would've uploaded the screenshots, but it was pitch-black (durr) and they were a decent distance from the cave, so no immediate peril.



Right. Top of the mountain. Nothing this way..



Nope.


Negatory.

So I really was on a completely different island. Or at least on a very distant part of the same island.

This gave me a series of objectives.

1) Build a kick-ass base, because living in a cave is for weenies.
2) Mine for some of that red ore/electricity stuff. Also, Iron.
3) Combine the Red Stuff and Iron to make a compass that points to where you originally spawn in the game.
4) ???
5) PROFIT

Right. Here's the current plan for the base, using all of my, quite frankly, brilliant artistic and planning skills.



I know, I know. Sheer genius!

"But.." you begin again, "However do you build an underwater base?"

Watch and learn! Also, possibly drown. But maybe that's just me.



Step #1: Dig out/flattern the area underwater you wish to build your base in.



Step #2: (Optional) Nearly drown yourself while digging out said foundation, because I'm you're an idiot.



Step #3: Swim into your base, and fill it up with wooden blocks.

J.. Just do it, okay?


Step #4: BURN IT TO THE GROUND. MWAHAHAHAHA!

(This will only burn the wood, somehow. And with no Water tiles anymore, you now have a cool little pocket of air.



Step #5: Marvel at your new fortress.

Also, possibly find and befriend a duck, then call him Mr. Pluckster??



Me and Mr. Pluckster enjoy our new home, which is currently too dark for its own good.



Final Step: Build a tunnel to FREEDOM the mainland.

Just.. avoid flooding it, like I managed to do.



Voila! Tunnel and water fortress built. Now for the rest when day breaks again.



Oh, Mr. Pluckster~

You so wacky!
