Just a quick update to what I’m doing with Sim-U-Kraft. I’ve recently discovered what’s causing at least one of the crash-to-desktop bugs (saving chunks and then crashing out of Minecraft). What I’ve found may fix the others too. The main culprit was the miner, if you employ a miner and then go about half a kilometer away, 99% of the time it will crash out (at least on my mac and PC). Changed the code quite a bit and it’s fixed it, so I’m now applying the same changes to the other jobs too and at the same time, overhauling the code, as it has evolved quite a bit since I originally wrote it, so has become quite messy and prone to bugs, it’s now becoming a lot better structured.

I’m also taking this opportunity to make the usage of chests by the Sim-U-Folks a lot better, so every job that they do, they’ll be able to access multiple chests at the various locations they go to, for instance, for mining you’ll be able to drop down several chests (double or single) within a 5 block radius of the mining box and the miner will use them all, as one fills up, he/she will go onto the next one, same goes for builders, fill up several chests full of building materials and leave them to it. Anyway, I’m not even half-way through the jobs available to the Sim-U-Folks, so no update soon, but I think it’s heading towards being the most stable version yet, a little less ‘beta’ anyway!… back to work/play…

I’m liking my new free/cheap web hosting. The URL is still the same http://www.satscape.info but some URLs will have changed. the Sim-U-Kraft online store has been down during the change over, but is now back up and running. If you didn’t know, access to the store is built into the mod and allows you to download other people’s buildings and structures then get your Sim-U-Folks to build them in your world. You can also submit your own, just use the Sim-U-Markers to ‘capture’ your building to a file. Then you can upload the file using the link inside the mod to share it with other Sim-U-kraft players.

Anyway, I’m just about done setting everything back up, so I can get back to work adding more stuff to the mod.
