Dwarf Fortress to Minecraft converter. Oh. My. God.

This is freakin' unbelievable. Guess what the guy is building in Minecraft?

How do guys find the time to do something like that? I'm speechless. I have no speech.

.....O...M.....G....... (0_o)

The description indicates he converted the geometry and imported it directly rather than actually building it by hand, but the decks and other details will certainly have to be done manually.

Don't like it. I want my torches to stay lit. Caves are scary enough as it is.

This guy is building a functional computer you can walk through in Minecraft.

You and Kikoskia owe me my life back. ;)

Nothing beats the USS fucken' Enterprise in 1:1 scale ;P

All the torches you have placed before the update hits will become lanterns. Those will stay lit. So my advice would be to place a ton of the buggers before the update hits. Problem solved.

But yes, I can't say I like the sound of it. I use torches as a means of finding my way back up, amongst other things.

Fair point, but only until I start a new map or something... eventually notch will release something cool that will require newly generated terrain to show up, or maybe even an update that requires a new world in order to work.

We'll see how it works, anyway. Maybe the new system works. Hopefully the new lantern will light up your path as you go (if it's equipped, at least).

This has already happened with the Redstone update; Redstone is unavailable on maps generated prior to that update. I'd imagine the same will happen with any new resource types.

Hmmm michaelleung tried to gift me this game and then I tried buying it tonight (by using the credit card option) and it wasn't working....are they servers down?

Yeah, true that. Hopefully it will all be balanced out. But right now it's making the non-peaceful modes a lot less attractive.

Yes, and that's a pity. Because I like the current tension in the game, and I think the balance works well. I'm not too keen on playing in peaceful mode, but OTOH I don't really want the standard mode to become harder either.
