Oh dear Swervish, such an awe inspiring dedication to the craft you have! Truly this castle is magnificent thus far. I'm curious, will you make use of super slopes in this particular build? :3
I also wonder about this. ^
I personally have made several large builds in my Minecrafting time and have also used countless mods. However, I feel like whenever I get into SuperSlopes and RedPower microblocks, it gets tedious to place detail after detail and having to craft the pesky inverted slopes, pyramids, corners, strips, etc.
However, it does greatly, greatly improve the overall look of the build, so I suppose that's what matters.
But enough about me, this is Swerve's thread anyways.

How do you plan on doin' it, Swervish?
Not in this one.
I toyed with that mod enough in my mine to know what I can and can-not do with it. Primarily though, I wont use it here because it only applies to a few materials, ie smooth stone (the mine), white wool, dirt, obsidian, (and brick I think) ... and I believe thats it.... cant slope stone brick, unfortunately.
I will mostly be using superslopes in cathedrals and palaces, and in a few diagonal walled castles I have planned.
I recently found mod for 1.3.2 with chest similar to UsefulChest: Multi Page Chest in Cubex2's Mods It also included nice tool for non-cheating way move chests with content if need. )

Love the bedrock combo, really adds to the effect of the floor.
Nice design, i personnaly love pillar-palaces and things like that,
so for me this is a good build.
--snipped--
Its really starting to grow. I suspect I can finish this build (Bodiam Castle), and probably the next structure with the mine functioning just as it is currently... but very soon I will need a rail system INSIDE the mine, just to be able to use it efficiently.
happy to help - this is my favorite forum thread by far. I've been inspired to add castle walls to my own tekkit world. (on creative, i dont have your infinite patience.)
Yep, but bear in mind, Ive mined almost ever diamond block with an enchanted (Fortune III) Pickaxe, so Ive harvested somewhere around 2.2 Times as many diamonds as I would have with a normal pickaxe. Ive also mined 189,402 blocks of smooth stone so far... 95% of which came from lvl 2-17... do the math... I think that makes diamonds more rare than normal with this mods pack. (at least I think I read that Pam's Earth Mod does that, because she lowers the spawn rate and replaces some Diamonds with other VERY hard ores like Titanium and Cobalt). I am wearing Titanium Armor at the moment.
I've been following this thread from the start and I'm very impressed. I do have one question though, will you be adding arrow slits in the main towers? You're an inspiration sir, kudos.
Certainly. I have a general plan for the interiors which includes windows and arrow slits. Without creative-fly, its just too much of a PITA to go around from the outside and cut them in now. I'll do it when I build the passages/tunnels in the walls, and the tower rooms.

Stone brick, stone brick, stone brick..... more stone brick.
Back to the mine
Wonder if a 200 stack night is really possible. Stay Tuned.
LOL, seems not

Its getting big:
When you mine as much as I do... you'll pretty much always have enough of everything.
Love it
Thanks
Though it doesn't have all that fancy stuff like the Plotz one
