How exactly does one farm iron?

Something to do with killing Iron Golems, I think. It basically involves getting a bunch of villagers to spawn in a small location, which prompts Iron Golems to spawn. I assume they then fall into a grinder.

This.

We have one already located here..
http://mc.liquidmantis.com/overviewe...

The little windowed boxes on the side of the platform house villagers which prompt a golem to spawn in the middle of the large platform. The water pushes it to a drop in the middle where it is collected into a central feed tube that runs through a lava knife pre damaging the golems, after the lava knife they fall into a collection chamber where the player then steps onto a plate to activate a piston that suffocates the golem. VIOLA! Free Iron... and roses too.

The right hand tower has a cpl floors in the middle that were a failure... and by failure I mean a CATASTROPHIC CRIPPLING FAILURE! The villagers were too close to the ones above/below which created a cascade event of continual copulation betwixt villagers. Anyone close enough to load the chunk became severely crippled by the amount of lag produced by HUNDREDS of villagers being rendered.

The old farm theoretically produces 1 golem every 45 seconds... which is WAY to slow for my tastes, so I proposed a mad scientist scheme to plav whom promptly started to cackle and scheme in his conniving evil way. At any rate the new one we are building (assuming it works as intended) should produce 1 golem every 6 seconds, more in line with my evil plot to obtain complete and utter minecraftian world domina... err I mean ... uhh... Oh hey look, a sheep!

I prefer the cello. It makes for a more satisfying reveal.

If I were trapped in an evil golem slaughterhouse, I'd madly copulate too.

Balls.

Within 30 minutes of each other, creepers spawned in what I thought were very well lit hallways. The first one blew me up in a single blast (full health plus some armor!) deep underground, and by the time I found my way back, all my items were gone The second blew up my just-completed subway line.

Double-post for extra annoyance.

Sometimes they fall into lighted areas after spawning in darker areas above. This happens in chasms all the time.

No chasms that I saw in the first case, and in the second I know there were none.

Oh well, I'm over it now, as well as all the steaks, bread, and iron and diamond tools I had with me...

If a floor block is more than 7 block lengths away from a torch, bad guys can spawn there. Diagonals count as two block lengths. If the torches are up on walls, make sure to account for block lengths down as well.

Can't claim I counted exact lengths, but the second spot was a passage in which nothing had ever spawned in the past...hence it was a pretty big surprise.

Does anyone mind if I take the island too the north-east of my tower? I've finished my house in Cordelia and I'm looking for a new project so I was thinking I'd use that island for all my future projects, but I don't know if some one has taken it already so I figured I should check first.

Sorry for the lack of a picture of the island I'm planning to take, but I don't actually know how to post a picture so for now north-east is the best description I can come up with.

There are some awesome hills NE, that I once looked at. No claim. Not to worry.

If you want the simplest option ever, just go here http://mc.liquidmantis.com/overviewer/ and mouse over the area you want to refer to. In the bottom left of the map it will display X,Z coordinates. Just post those coordinates.

Thanks! I didn't even know the overviewer gave coordinates. So according to the map the island I'm claiming is at X-1527 Z-1809, but I only need that one island so if anyone has a burning desire to recreate Jurassic park feel free to take the one to the right, but be warned the neighbors are quite noisy and they have large tire burning party's every Friday.

Not sure who decided who to extend the railway but thanks! It goes more than halfway down to my little house down there.

This?

I needed to make a rail line to my new project. I can extend it to your place if needed. Just need a map image or coordinates.

Oh and speaking of new project:

Me and Einbjorn are working on a giant iron farm. So if you need massive amounts of iron it will be possible... Eventually.

WOW! You build super quick! That's pretty awesome. Yes, I meant that line. It was taking me quite a while to move it further along, but you knocked out so much so quickly!

Plav and I put about 15+ hours on it the past cpl of days and Bucket30 helped for about 6 of those hours yesterday. The hole has a diameter of 38 and goes down to bedrock at level 5. Only 1 out of 10 holes is finished ( http://mc.liquidmantis.com/overviewe... ), and we only have 1 of 4 spawn platforms (per hole) partially finished.... to give you an idea of where we are at on this project hehe.

On a small desert island northwest of the Isle of Cordelia sits an ancient sand stone giant, the Desert Colossus. What ancient culture built it and what purpose it served has long been lost to the mists of time.

Pretty happy with this one. I have more to do around the island and what not but I've been working on this for long enough to want to get away for awhile, so the final bits will wait

Why thank you! Sandstone is a pain to harvest, haha. So much sand.

That turned out awesome! Do you need any more? I've got like half a chest from when I thought I was going to build the chapel out of it.

Sure! At some point I'm going to take a bunch of sandstone stairs and slabs and round out the edges of the statue.

Do you have a spot you want me to put them? Or should I just bring a chest and park them out front for you?

There's a donations box next to the nethergate at my home base at about 780,422 (which, come to think of it, actually has a lot of sand in it already).

The Cordelia church donation box has something in it...

Here's a video. I let the golems have some fun with this one!

Short of being banned for asshattery, no one gets removed from the whitelist.

Before anyone asks: Quintin Stone is a special case. (Yeah. Special.)

There have been login issues this evening. They're intermittent, so I'm not sure if this is what Crispy ran into, but it seems likely.

Whitelisting is a very obvious "ACCESS DENIED! You ain't whitelisted on this here server, sucka!" error. So if you don't see that it's something else.

AWESOME!!!!!!! Thank you. I had enough iron to set it up with the first level of effect, with iron blocks. As I get more, I'll add the other layers.
