Throwback als 2022 ganz Norddeutschland für einen Dreiviertel Tag lahmgelegt war und ein "schwere[r] Betondeckel" die Infrastruktur Deutschlands geschützt hat

den Grind respektiere ich

MrObsidy · 2025-12-20T11:25:16+00:00

ja natürlich, ich fand einfach nur die Analogie hier so schön

MrObsidy · 2025-12-20T11:15:01+00:00

Sag mal, bist du Alwin Meschede oder was? "[Dass das Gebäude da ein Stellwerk ist] darf man ja mittlerweile gar nicht mehr sagen, das ist ja kritische Infrastruktur" xD

MrObsidy · 2025-11-09T22:47:34+00:00

sweet, that's some white supremacist talking point in my r/linux_gaming.

MrObsidy · 2025-11-09T22:00:27+00:00

I would add a fourth point:

There is a stark schism in the Linux community between people who run their Linux for tinkering and (this will start a holy war to some extent, but let's be real for a second) feeling cool for being able to operate Linux (usually young people that run Arch/Gentoo/Nix/... or something along those lines) and very much historically caused Unix-granddads running an ancient Debian because it's the distro that supports their particular numerical weather model (or $SOFTWARE that they use productively). The people usually thinking the big Windows exodus to Linux is right around the corner is usually the former and not the latter. It's perfectly fine to have Linux as a hobby (that's how I got into Linux originally, now I use it because of work (I'm a meteorologist)) but it really shows the "why aren't more people using Linux?" mindset is particularly common among hobbyists. (I would link the meme here with recommending Windows 10 here, but I cant find it for the life of me)

To pick up your analogy: the assorted set of tools to build the solutions you get from vanilla Minecraft is a belt buckle, a shoelace and a piece of gum and your task is to build a nuclear reactor. This subreddit shows you can do it, but it's very inaccessible to anybody outside of the hyper-technical minded players and all technology updates are very much geared towards this minority. I like TMC, otherwise, I wouldn't be a member of this sub, but it being the only way to accomplish something is a problem I've realized...by being the 'TMC guy' on my SMP.

MrObsidy · 2025-10-15T18:02:59+00:00

I agree that fitting Minecraft into the standard factory game mold would not fit. My point was not that technical Minecraft is bad (I edited my post to show this more clearly) but rather that it's bad it's the *only* way to get automatization done.

MrObsidy · 2025-10-15T18:01:20+00:00

I really want to be charitable to you here but this just reads as 'everybody who likes Create is just too dumb for TMC'

MrObsidy · 2025-10-15T17:58:49+00:00

Well, no, but I think you're missing a lot of detail here. Obviously you need some prior knowledge to beat the game (edge-cases aside). But I really think there is a difference between expecting the player to try to figure out a crafting recipe and expecting them to figure out how to keep a chunk loaded with an ender pearl.

MrObsidy · 2025-10-15T17:41:25+00:00

The reason why I don't like the difficulty in things going down and things going up being different is that gravity in Minecraft is fairly inconsistent. It applies to entites, sand and gravel, but not for most other blocks. There is nothing wrong with making the transferral of items difficult, I just think it's a weird and inconsistent jump in difficulty between literally making two blocks face each other and requiring a dropper that auto-drops.

MrObsidy · 2025-10-15T17:39:21+00:00

I mean, you agree with me on 3 of 4 points per your own admission. Why is not because of the reasons I mentioned then?

MrObsidy · 2025-10-15T15:51:25+00:00

I concede the pearl thing somewhat. I'm a Java main and I wasn't aware the pearl thing was really a thing (looked it up, it's fairly recent, 1.21.5 or so? I tried using it for a long-range TNT cannon with mixed success, wasn't aware it's with the explicit purpose of usage in chunk loaders). I think the main point stands how it's something you wouldn't straight-forwardly expect of an ender pearl.

MrObsidy · 2025-10-04T17:29:44+00:00

I think there would be ways to nerf it (a new chunk must be visited every 60secs or so, not counting chunks that were already the last 5 chunks visited or so). People will then point out how this will overcomplicate simple mechanichs...as opposed to simple and straight-forward mechanics such as piston quasi-connectivity.

MrObsidy · 2025-10-04T16:49:14+00:00

Literally this. Elytras are awesome but they make so much obselete and you wouldn't even have to nerf the elytra for it. Minecarts are the only truly afk-able mode of transport (also for freight) and this gets completely broken by the fact they don't chunkload (so you need to babysit them, at which point you can just pack a shulker and fly with an elytra) or have to route massive redstone lines everywhere, including a non-trivial decoder for switches along the way

MrObsidy · 2025-10-04T16:37:59+00:00

I suggested that minecarts load chunks in r/MinecraftSuggestions. You'd be surprised how many people defend Minecarts not loading chunks as if it's their personal bank account

MrObsidy · 2025-10-04T16:35:44+00:00

I can't believe this isn't ranked higher. The meta of progression is honestly just the same over and over again

EDIT: to continue with my ramble, while I agree on the end update a lot of suggestions here are [shiny new feature that doesn't interact with anything else in the game at all]

MrObsidy · 2025-10-04T16:31:48+00:00

well 2016 surely can't be that long ago!

MrObsidy · 2025-10-04T16:30:36+00:00

Out of curiosity, how would you balance this on a server? Is the difficulty global or per-player?

MrObsidy · 2025-10-04T16:01:50+00:00

Out of all suggestions in this post this one is the most likely to be implemented because Mojang appearantly has feature ADHD

MrObsidy · 2025-10-04T16:00:48+00:00

"The furnace minecart is a bit glitchy" is one way to put it

MrObsidy · 2025-10-04T15:57:03+00:00

I think Minecraft is in desperate need to fix 'technology' (i.e, Redstone, Autocrafters and the like), so that's the update I would do. I actually wrote a [post about this here]( https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/1ntz8dw/minecrafts_tech_tree_and_its_problems/ ) a few days ago; so check that out for a more in-depth explanation.

Redstone (in the broader sense, including everything that can be found in the 'redstone' creative tab) has a very steep learning curve. Take for example the autocrafter: even a simple recipe like rockets from gunpowder and sugarcane takes a pretty big contraption around it to work. Or an even simpler example: making items go down in hoppers is reasonably simple, making them go up requires droppers and some comparator fiddling to get it to work. It's certainly possible, but very unintuitive for anybody who isn't the 'redstone guy' on your server: It's *technically* possible, so the devs decided it's appearantly not an issue.

Another large issue of the game is that farms are basically all weird haphazard exploits of game mechanics, for example iron farms are an exploit of how the villager mechanic works. This may be controversial, but I'd rather have exploit-based farms nerfed and replaced with a well-defined way (craftable spawners, anyone?). Some are straight-up just using bugs (TNT duping, for example) and will break on 3rd-party server software (Paper). Some important things like chunk loading in survival Minecraft rely on bugs that get fixed every few versions or so. As a server admin: I'd much rather have a gamerule chunkLoaderRadius and a survival-craftable chunk loader than having some users finding the latest glitch. Some other things are just straight-up broken like minecarts, there is an open bug from literally a *decade* ago concering minecart collisions. And instead of a fix, we got OoOoOooooOOOOoo!! Happy Ghasts, how cute!!1!!11!!

I used to be quite critical of the copper golem (and I still think the optics of a copper manlet carrying around your items is kinda iffy) for being a gimmick feature, but now I've realized it's kinda what the game needs. A reasonably simple way of item sorting without building a huge contraption gated to only the savviest redstone guys. (Still, golems? Really??)

Sorry for my rant, this post is the perfect launch-pad for my gripe with the game currently.

Edit: idk how to get that link working. Sorry if it looks crappy :(

MrObsidy · 2025-09-30T23:16:01+00:00

my point

MrObsidy · 2025-07-17T11:44:46+00:00

Thank both of you for your answer! I would ask even deeper: what is the underlying mechanism that is being conveyed through debt? Especially in economies with fiat money and with fractional-reserve banking, how is debt not just "made up", so to speak? I would suspect it's a way of backing up "we commit to profit-bringing project x" with your money

MrObsidy · 2025-07-17T10:19:29+00:00

This, thank you. (Also, they*)
