Funny how this has started with the clay tiles, then moved on to that secondary path and not having enough dirt.
\nNow, the attention has shifted to my only mine, and that smidge of water at the rear of the entrance.<\/p>\n
Some time ago, you probably read my “Boats and Bugs” entry with my horses getting stuck in my mine. You’ll find out why I say this later.
\nWell, this whole attention-shifting has to do with me getting bored and trying to think of different ways to make the place even better-looking.
\nOne being the iconic checkerboard pattern of Cobblestone and Slabs for pavement. Having this would surely make my place look better!<\/p>\n
I even killed two birds with one stone by shifting my alt’s skill from Cooking to Mining, so he can finally get his Mind Logic up and be able to drive my sailboat and my bigger boats.
\nI started using my alt’s rock shards as catapult ammo to knock down the fences of where my farm was going to be, then it shifted to paving.<\/p>\n
What shifted it to the mine was, I was busy chipping away at slabs for paving. Had my small cart behind me. Noticed I could only get 10 slabs in. Fuck you, volume.
\nSo I thought “ehh. That means my alt will have more time to gather more rock shards” and went on with it.
\nThat was until I noticed my next cart load could only handle 7 instead of 10.<\/p>\n
And then something snapped in my head. I HAD to get my large cart into my mine again to be able to make and cart as many slabs as I needed. But due to the fucking water at the entrance…
\nSo with my alt still mining I left the mine, went into my house, grabbed the shaker orb I bought a long time ago (would had bought two but ran out of money, and I had low RL money last month).<\/p>\n
Told my alt to evacuate the mine. He took my cart with the 7 slabs out of the mine as ordered, and I dropped the orb on the cave floor tile that attaches to the entrance, and sealed myself in the mine (as I was told to do). My theory is if I mined up when the wall reaches the ‘will break soon’ stage, I’ll mine up and raise the floor, removing the water from the entrance.<\/p>\n
On the other side of the mine, I had my alt mine the tile to help break it faster. I tried to relax and think of my options, and told my alt I'm going to head to Samling and buy two more Shaker Orbs to hopefully fix this mess I created. I forgot to turn control over to my alt, which made Seris unable to embark as a Passenger. But he decided to follow the coast south and saw his friend, Mommat. And then they left his local. That was the time I was heading back home.<\/p>\n So, back home I first gave control of the rowboat to him, and then used the two shaker orbs on the two tiles I fucked up, and tried to mine them. First tile actually gave me salt. Six salts. When the wall finally fell, it didn’t<\/strong> restore the floor back to normal. FUCK!! I’m not going to spend another fucking silver on a shaker orb. It’s not the fact they aren’t useful (which they are), but they’re so fucking expensive! 5s per orb. The cost is supposed to stop griefers.<\/p>\n I’ve actually learned something from this experience. Spellcast wouldn’t of been able to even help me due to the way mine entrances are done. And whoever did that mine is an idiot.<\/p>\n The mine can still be fixed, but by a high faith\/favor Mag priest. And Spellcast’s alt seems to be the only one. Angry claims Elshar also has a Mag Priest, but before he could ask him if he can cast this spell that can turn a open cave tile into a cave wall, his mother told him to go to bed. But until further notice, I’m forced to use New BroVegas’ mine until my mine is ‘fixed’ (reverted back before I fucked it up).<\/p>\n I feel like I should be compensated for all the money I wasted on shaker orbs that didn’t do shit to fix my fuck up, but it’s not the GMs faults. It’s both the game’s shitty mining mechanics, and me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Funny how this has started with the clay tiles, then moved on to that secondary path and not having enough dirt.

\nMy plan failed…horribly<\/strong>. When I saw ‘the wall will break soon’ and mined up on the 6th time, I got the ‘The cave walls look very unstable. You cannot keep mining here.’ message in my local. I screamed out “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!” when I saw it.
\nForced with the fact I would have to deal with the water on the ground, I started mining forward (instead of Down). This lead to ‘unforeseen consequences’ (pardon the pun) and instead of restoring what I did, turned that little sliver of water, into a fucking TILE of water, and altering the floor under me. I fucking made it WORSE!! D:<<\/p>\n
\nSo I did. When I was at Samling, Seris (not the moon, a guy) showed up in my alt's local. Seris is Starhero's next door neighbor. He says he and his friend are lost and 'dying'. Turns out he was at the ruins of New BroVegas, but no sign of his friend.
\nSo my alt showed him to my settlement and the ocean, so he can get all the water he needed. Then he mentions passing by our pier and going south, and asked if he could get a ride in my alt's sailboat.<\/p>\n
\nNeither did the other. So, I have pretty much spent 15s on NOTHING!! It didn’t do SHIT to help me!
\nShortly after I’m breaking down and begging kchat for someone to save what’s left of my sanity (or where Spellcast is).<\/p>\n
\nI tried to reach him and his alt through \/tell, but he wasn’t on. So I assume he was talking to him via IRC or Teamspeak.<\/p>\n
