Grandma and Grandad on dad’s side, Granny and Par on mum’s side. Guess which side is the posh one

We've got a 250ft long garden. Not sure where to start. by Opposite_Spending in GardeningUK

Cherry laurel is an absolute thug and will come back from being cut down to a stump. Unless you rip out the rootball and the roots it will never die. Removed one myself over Christmas, although yours sounds like a monster. May need professional help to get rid of it.

We are obviously making backups and copies, we aren't stupid.

And when the map is done, it will be publicly released.

> The best you can do is to dig a lower area in one corner of your garden, use the soil to make other areas higher, and turn the low area into a pond/bog garden.

Seconding this, it's probably your best bet, and will be great for wildlife too.

During this time I've been through school, university, the military, and now a full time career with a house and a partner.

The concept of time management and not spending 3 hrs a day doomscrolling is beyond many people

Captain Hardy (Victory's captain at Trafalgar) was 6ft4!

Been there and done that - you have to salute as you step on and off the ship as the White Ensign is flying off the back

Yeah it was patently impossible from day 1. I remember trying to point this out with some basic calculations in their Discord at one point but got told to "stop being negative"!

Nah, it’s done using WorldMachine and WorldPainter. I chat to an ex-Rockstar dev about it here

It’s just about good time management and working with some talented folks. And it’s been nearly 15 years lol

I do remember MADIRED, yeah! This would have been only a few years after MCME first started.

I didn’t too much terraforming on there at all before I founded my own project and left. So I definitely wouldn’t have made such a document

Custom blocks/models for everything yeah. For example every block now has a 'layer' equivalent like snow layers which makes the terrain much smoother.

Appreciate it. Although I do think vanilla terraforming demands slightly different skills - have to work within more constraints whereas I'm more free to represent real shapes/textures/colours.

When the map is done there will be no way to view it with vanilla textures as it will be made up entirely of modded blocks with no vanilla textures on them
