What? We start with 10000 times more land than you did in v5? Where do you get that? Wilderness land was free and there was no limit on how big you could build.Stop talking down to me, I don't appreciate it one bit. I have just as much right to express my opinion as anyone else.Max
Batuus,I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from San Diego State University. I have worked at NASA for over 20 years. Not saying I can't be wrong from time to time, but I do know math. I was only referring to the horizontal footprint (or plan view, if I may) I need to build my house (with a small buffer) which is roughly 120 x 120 or approximately 50 chunks. Although I have not seen much of the V6 spawn, I would imagine it is probably on the order of 1000 chunks (horizontal).That's all I got to say about that, so I'll step off.Thanks,Max
Im talking about a square, the actual footprint
Okay so, a chunk is 16 by 16 blocks, you have 50 chunks and we are gonna make a nice square. So 25x25,25 = 400 blocks long, so you get a square of 400 by 400 blocks
Sorry, I was thinking in terms of a square with a side of that number of chunks and ended up squaring the size twice.I probably need a coffee XDI doubt anyone would need 400 (not squared) chunks anyway.That would be already enough for a decent town.Anyway, Baatus made a valid point:256 _flat_ blocks (1 chunk) means you need a few stacks of materials.A build isn't just a flat square, so you need more than that.102400 blocks as a footprint means you need a LOT of materials to complete a build of that size.So while my initial numbers were wrong you still need more blocks than that unless you're just building a mosaic, easily reaching the Million range >_>To be honest 50 chunks is a medium sized complex.It's not huge but the villa in those pictures could be built in something like 12, including water.400 chunks is huge.I wouldn't embark on such a project without having at least 75% of what I need beforehand. Just saying.(edited for clarity)

(256*50)You also can't make a square with 50 chunks, it was just an estimation of what he needed.Quote from: Batuus on 4 Oct 2013, 16:32:14Okay so, a chunk is 16 by 16 blocks, you have 50 chunks and we are gonna make a nice square. So 25x25,25 = 400 blocks long, so you get a square of 400 by 400 blocks25x25 != 50. 50 isn't even a square number to begin with but the side would be ~7 chunks anyway.I had huge numbers because I thought of a 50 by 50 chunks square (the word "plot" put me off).Same goes for the 400 chunks, I thought of a 400x400 chunks square.So... yeah. Multiplications.
This was meant to be an update on how V6 was going, NOT an argumentative thread on how many blocks are in 400 chunks and how many chunks you will need in V6. If you want to argue about this, please take it to private messaging, or make another threshold in other for you to argue on.~HarryX11Also, if you guys are doing the math on what 400 chunks of surface area is, you can find it like this:16×16=256256×400=102400(256×4=1024, so just add two zeroes to that and you get your answer)I hope this resolves any issues you guys are having
that house is maybe +/- 4 Chunks...
The wilderness could become way less wild than the towns world and the unlucky guy that get there later could have to travel hours to reach a free spot only to find out it's too small and surrounded by giant builds.Nothing remotely similar ever happened before with towns, right? :-|L Mmm, oh wait...
