CrazyCraft2: roads & rubber ducks

I had some time away from gaming, and then overwrote my Feb 2021 log when saving it as a new file for March 2021.  So, oops, now it's March.

For a change of pace, I mostly did a trip to the Erebus.  Expanded the town there by adding a third building, then bringing back some ghostwood saplings from the Nether.  Having that Nether portal nearby is good, since the Nether has all those giant spiders to go with the Erebus bug population.  My main goal was to bring back a few stinky dragons to feast on Erebus creatures while I was working on things.  I don't know where they flew off to.

Back home, the Easter Bunny escaped again.  I have no idea how he gets out of a solid row of walls over glass panes over walls, on his 3x3 grid of hoppers.  He did drop off a few golden apple cow spawn eggs.  I thought I could locate him by flying around until some spawn eggs floated up to me, but I never did find him.  I did find that pesky boyfriend stuck in an underground pool, though.

More loot bags full of odd stuff.

Main Base, looking north past duplicator trees

Later on, I just went for a fly in a random direction and found an interesting field of ruins: a graveyard, battle tower, some houses in various states of ruin, and a mantis spawn lair.  When I tried to settle into the mostly intact house of the hill, it turns out it was surrounded by those swarms of little worms that pop out like Whack-a-Mole.  I get a kick out of those guys, digging down to find bigger and bigger worms, thinking they have been cleared out, only to find more of them later on.  After about a 40 minute dig-and-fight episode, I found that one of the infernal worms stole my pants.  My mobzilla scale pants.  Well, back to base to see if I have enough scales to make another set.

Ultimately, I need to move more of my workshops out from the dungeon I colonized, into their own buildings, so I could go right to the Mobzilla temple to find the scales and make the items.  I have been letting the duplicator trees dupe Amazonian stone and Wakanda stone, since I like the colors, and want to make proper homes or villages for those blocks, those superheroes, those sets of armor and tools.  I am also duplicating marble pillars, hoppers and I keep one tree surrounded by duct tape to infinitely repair my tools.

My main project for tonight was to connect the field of ruins back to my main base.  Looking at the map, it was only about 400 blocks away through a small tundra.  Fun, brain-free project, the straight line came out just a few blocks to the right of my first shack ever in this world, and I finally connected that back to the main town through what was once a forest that got eaten by beavers.  I re-discovered that my tower 1 base and tower 3 base and first shack were connected by tunnels.

Back at the field of ruins, I repaired a house only to get nibbled by worms while trying to connect it to that main road.  Another fun fight of digging down to find them all ... up until the point where the worms stole my mobzilla scale boots.  That is getting too expensive.  I put a sign up in that new building saying "Worm Hunter", but I am going to leave a set of cheaper armor there, so I won't care if pieces get lost.

The stream nearby seems to always have some mob battle going on, either rubber ducks vs lizards, lizards vs frogs, attack squid vs everyone else.  So, mob drops tend to just fly up into my face whenever I run past.  Yes, I use magnet mode wherever available, so the world does not fill up with drop entities.  I fly around looking for thaht mantis lair again, found it, added a sign on the main road saying which direction to go to find it, but it's not something worth building a road to.

I planted a few of those big OreSpawn apple & cherry trees near the old towers and ne field of ruins area.  They're a bit more OP than I remembered.  A few fruits always seem to rain down when I'm in the area.

So, I have two more loot bags full of stuff & junk to drop off next time I am in town.  I used the golden bags of holding, and have a total of nine of them stored in my main sort chest.  I take three with me on each trip.

I have been watching SSundee suffer through CrazyCraft3 in the background during the day.  Pretty funny, though I think I have seen that whole series before.  Hard to believe it has been 6 years since those were made.

I started putting signs up on those old locations with their dates of discovery or construction.  Looking back at old blogs now, first shack was founded 1/1/2019, so my guess of 2019 was right on.  Tower 1,2,3 same night.  The roguelike dungeon that eventually became my main base: 1/2/2019.  First floatin city 1/3, first shipwreck 1/5, the big desert city of Yuma on 1/6. and so on.

Can't say I accomplished much on this trip.  Is anything in a video game really an accomplishment?  Well, it relieves anxiety, at least.  I bred my apple cows at various locations and brought together a breeding population at my main city.  While coming down from the floating town, an attack squid spat at me and blinded me, so I eliminated him, only to have two krakens appear, kill me twice, and hover over the edge of my city for about 20 minutes.  I was able to kill one with the ultimate bow from a distance too far to see the damage indicators, while the other one flew back up into the stratosphere, only to find they ate have my new cow population.

Anyway, I spent half the available time just trying to fix sound problems when recording.  I have a STennhauser vocal mike going into an Alesis IO/2 mini mixer, to USB.  The system recognizes it just fine, but the recorded voice sounds like when a witness's voice is masked in some real detective show, which is not the sound I'm going for ... AND there are pops every few seconds, like it's clipping even though the levels are already problematically low.
