Magranon's Rest - Recording my descent into madness.

Recommended Posts

I moved to Exodus from Chaos last year, lived with some friends at The Old Contemptibles for a while but couldn't quite deal with the old itch to have a project to work on. So in November Magranon's Rest was born as a "bit of a project to play around with no big deal". Thankfully i took many screenshots to show how much i lied to myself in that first day.

 

So i found my location, spoke with the locals Mappy and Cyborg over at Centrum about giving them a new, slightly insane, neighbour and got to work:

I made some calculations after opening an entrance at the base of the mountain, exactly 900 slope from the top edge of the mine entrance to the height of the token. This will be important later ;)

Marked out the deed border with banners temporarily and set up my temp workshop, The Gravy House.

I started a ramp around to use the dirt i'd dug up and then realised it would take far too long to dirt ramp up, so for the first...2 months i believe, WALL LADDER.

Here began the true first stage of madness, the decision to hollow out the entire mountain, deed is a 51x51 and by the end of these images i have a mine well over 1000 tiles. Naturally that wasn't enough for me so i also mined the ceilings up, then lowered the floors to max ceiling height. At the time of writing this, the floors are about 1/3 completed levelling down. Sorry about the lighting, mines are derpy to take pictures of.

This is how it looks at the moment for the entryway, after this pic you must suffer through several boring and samey images of a cave ramp. Why you ask? The reason is simple, because i spent weeks making this god forsaken ramp and it is BEAUTIFUL.

Understably, I hope, at this point i wanted to give up on life and settled instead for putting the mine on hold so i could BE OUTSIDE. Starting with a platform up at the token level. Strategic lava tiles are used for destroying insolent ore veins on my ramp.

That top platform became a farm for a while, man's gotta eat.

Now i realised the time had come to begin the first platform of three that will eventually stack together to reach the token height.

Needed more dirts and ended up with the start of a moat.

Hmm...water....idea forming perhaps.

Somtimes i just sorta get distracted by my own ideas. This one was...."hmm should i surface mine another platform above the token area? It ended in my planting the one and only tree at Magranon's Rest. Lovingly wild growth casted and enchanted by Shellbee.

Then those damned horrible evil devs gave us three wide mine entrances and i HAD TO HAVE ONE. Problem was it looked utterly terrible without flattening out the tops of the entrances as well as the bottom. This whole process took 2 days because....digging the goddamn dirtwall back down, also i screwed up like 3 times.

Now i got a loooooooooooooooooot of dirt to start using and don't get me started on deciding what to do with the mine walls.....i'll probably clad it all in marble...

 

May 28th 2017 completed roads/canal update

 

Alrighty the time has come for me to get back to the dirt raising, so here's a couple pics of the new view from the wall platform with shiny new slate roads. With the East coast <-> Lake Serpentine canal done i'll be collecting dirt by building a moat for my neighbours at Centrum Universi so once i finish using this lot of dirt up i'll be completing a ring road around CU replacing the old cobble one too :)

May 30th 2017 Dirt all used up!

So i took all the dirt from the canal and the road works. Which was something like 160 crates of dirt.

 

This is a picture from the east side of the wall after i finished raising all the outer sections by levelling

June 14th 2017 - little paving update to the tunnels

 

I have returned and the digging continues, doubt i'll have much to post here in terms of screenshots for a while, all i'm doing is digging a wagon at a time and dumping it over the edge to fill in the 2nd platform.

 

I did play around with new cave paving though :D Tunnel looks like this now.

July 4th 2017 - third and final platform wall being raised

I got a little bored of dumping dirt and watching it trickle into the pit so i decided to just raise the third platform outer wall and dump dirt from the top.

Looks pretty nuts so far, if you zoom in the tiny little speck a mile up next to the wagon is me xD

Gives you an idea what the final completed height will look like from the outside at least.

January 20th 2018 - I accidentally a bridge.

 

So in a fit of "me being me" I got slightly distracted by my own random ideas. I prepped 1200 ribbons for 2 crates of support beams to get the boatmine done. Then i figure right it's time to get the logs and out i go down the ramp, over bridges over yonder westward through Nomads and to the forest to get 1200 logs, which naturally takes ages. By the time i got back to deed I had decided i was angry with the fact i have to actually spend minutes going up and down the ramp to get wood sooooooooooooooo... this happened.

Halfway done, only took days of work to save a few minutes each of the rare occasions i need to get wood...totally worth the time o.o

 

5th February 2018

 

Been slacking a lot the last week or two, been busy irl and also slightly distracted by the fact i purchased a switch and bought BOTW and Mario Odyssey...

ANYWAY. Some progress has been made and big thanks go to @armyskinfor donating about something like 40 crates of dirt and bringing the west side of the main platform this close to completion. In the background also a new building housing a trader, and the start of my new horse breeding pens so i can finally do away with the year old temporary pens i've been using on the east side :)

So to sum up.

 

Cutting the mountain down into a new platform above the mine.

Rebuilding K Manor and shifting it onto the main platform.

Building some new guest houses.

Setting up some enchanted grass parking pens.

Moving the clay/tar pits and adding a peat one.

 

Easy stuffs :P

 

Anyone wants to poke around with the deed plan of Magranon's Rest the pastebin is here - https://pastebin.com/BZFsdtKX

Just a nice neat 64 tile paved tunnel to go with all my other ones :P Gonna have to do more tunnels like these so i can get around without ever leaving the caves more often :D

March 26th 2018 - Platform Housing 

Having started working on adding houses to the platform i decided that it was maybe possibly about time i considered moving myself out of the token house. So today, exactly 500 days (16.5 months) after I planted Magranon's Rest i finally moved myself into an actual permanent home on the deed xD

 

Redid the token house as a gateway, might need some decorations in there now.

Spoiler

The first of the houses going up on the platform, claimed for myself. Being outside the mine may take getting used to o.o
The fenced area in front is just the clay pit leading onto the wagon parking pens. I really think having all the houses arched hanging over the path will look good when i have them all done.

Friends i am back! Tentatively started playing Wurm again a few weeks back and now getting back into working on my deed. It's been about 7-8 months of me only really logging in every couple weeks due to some....fairly cataclysmic RL issues. Anyways MORE TERRAFORMING! 

 

Removed the old manor on the east side so i can bring up the secondary platform same as it is on the west end.

Connects up to Magranon's Peak and in turn, the tunnel back down to my main deed caverns

Next up! First catseyes and then ramping back down the west side so the road clears the whole mountain ^__^

 

November 14th 2019 - Wide Doors!

 

I got a bit distracted from the mountain top highway by my deep need to put 90QL steel doors on every possible entrance now i'm allowed to. Looks neat though :)

April 2nd 2020 - Coronavirus isolation got me Wurmin'

 

 Nothing like a global pandemic to get me back to work on Wurm stuff! Now i know you've all been excitedly awaiting more evidence that i am boring and mentally unstable so heres the completed "i made a road over the peak that noone will ever use" project. As some will remember, i had previously sliced the mountain in half to make a giant ramp road up from the east end, with a highway linking down to the coast. I've now taken the road out to the west side as well.

 

Come with me and behold the wonders of....basic roadmaking.

Little path around the edge of the deed, nice views

Out West, the rocky mess to the left is where the old single tile rickety path up the mountain used to be.

And the long smooth ramp back North, links neatly onto my west exit highway :)

May 24th 2020 - Moar roads, a big boi bridge and a chonky tunnel.

 

Still working away at the place forever here. Been working on the south exit tunnel and continuing making a highway all around the mountain, the east side of the mountain has always been a real pain to travel around but no more! 

 

From the top end of the bridge down to Moonlit Euphoria

Drawn up a map of the edits i've made, probably going to sort a tunnel out from the south end of my new tunnel down to water level, maybe bring this road west along the south edge of the mountain too. But for now is done :)

Spoiler

I'll update once the tunnel is all shinied up and then i think it's time i get to surface mining that second platform layer....gonna be a big job! Any high channeling Mag's out there wanna hook a guy up with some stonestrike? xD

 

 

May 31st 2020 - The south tunnel is complete

 

 Tunnel complete :D Took a lotta marble, mortar and brass but it's gloriously cladded, paved and lit now. As is the side path up to the peak ^_^

August 30th 2021 - An update again? After this long?

 

 Hi friends! It's been a long while since i had any update to give you. Didn't play wurm much for a while and then when i was i've just not worked on my deed. Which is obviously a tragedy so lets get back to it!

I spent....a little while getting my AH up to 95 after the new update so the peak is a lil....sheepy:

So with that grind done its back to work time! (in future i've got a pretty neat idea for a tower on that peak deed so the sheep pens will really have to go o.o)

 

Today i finished this up, new genetics lab for my aggressive animal breeding, got halfway through building it before finding out theres a bug where animals won't eat in caves at the moment so i guess testing 95AH on mega pets will have to wait a lil as i have zeeeeeeeeero room for them outside heh.

 

Spoiler

Next up is a couple other building projects, finishing the warehouse then a lovely open spot where i think its time i put up a giant cave farm building :P Yes the warehouse i built like 4 years ago and never did the top two floors of ....oops

Finally after the building works are done i'll be back on the big one. The mountain surface mining, it's going to take months of work but i'll get there eventually!

February 23rd 2022 - I remembered Wurm exists again.

 

I accidentally had another several months long hiatus but today it was BACK TO WORK TIME. DIE MOUNTAIN DIE.

Also the warehouse did finally get finished off...only took a few years....

Spoiler

Might need to decorate and use the space a bit more though lol 

Spoiler

Anyways more updates to come if my sanity holds out while i surface mine all that rock about another 500 slope or so. Lets be honest my update schedule on this project hasn't been the most reliable for a while now but hey....i'm gonna try!

 

March 19th 2022 - Mountain being murdered
 

Progress continues. Half my own efforts and half Jakerivers going ham on the mountain while i've been off playing Elden Ring, so full credit to him it's coming along a lot faster than it would have otherwise.

The mountain must be tamed!

 

April 22nd 2022 - We're winning....very slowly.

 

 Progress is slow and...difficult to provide fun screenshots of because it all just looks like the same rock. But it is happening!

 

Local authorities came by to check everything was up to code.

Spoiler

I work day and night to defeat the mountain

PROGRESS!

This is pure pain....weeks upon weeks of chinking away at a mountain. What i wouldn't give for a levelling or flattening to work on rock surface.... Why did i do this to myself why!?

 

Lil sneak peak at the WIP plan for the eventual castle that's going up there:
(before planning out the internal walls we're already looking at about 50k marble bricks lol)

May 14th 2022 - The continued gradual mountain murder + new free snacks!

 

I know how you all love very slightly different looking images of the exact same giant area of surface rock so i've got you a treat. Progress pics!

 

it's really starting to feel like we're getting close with this one, god i need to finish my castle plan....ANYWHO LOOKY:

Also bonus prize. Many who have visited before will be aware that years ago i cooked up every affinity in the game in a stack of 138 casseroles and left them out for people to nibble at. Since then they've been heavily reduced and i've improved the recipe so i redid the lot! 

Yes it was painful.

So if you swing by just wander up to this humble spot...

and take a peek in the hota statue. Have a snack on me.

Yes i realise i could have named them with the numbers first so everyone else has an easier time organising which ones they want to eat, i chose the selfish option sue me ;)

 

Hopefully next update will be when this area is aaaaaaaaaaaaall flat. Until next time o/

It's finally over! It's done! The mountain is tamed! :D

Cannot possibly express enough how much of the credit for this project goes to @JakeRiversWho toiled away during multiple periods of my playtime wavering due to RL and losing my mind over constant wurm client crashes. It'd be halfway complete right now without him.

Next up is dirting it over, finishing my deedplanner design for the castle thats going up here and then.....boy oh boy i'm probably gonna need about 60/70,000 marble bricks and mortar.

 

December 24th 2022 - Man of many marble bricks

 

 Slowly slowly (oh good lord so slowly) i'm getting the materials for the full build together. Decided recently to get started on plotting stuff out at least.

We might have to talk about this cave system of yours, looks very impressive. I got a small project under way as well on release on the wand of the seas island thats like 45x57. I am very interested to learn these how you got these perfect 3 tile openings and some other neat things I saw on your mine system. Keep taking a lot of screenshots looking forward to seeing the continued progression.

And yet he still manages to have 1 slope up on the top of the boat mine entrance.

I came here for QUALITY, Nadroj.

I wish it to be known that this man ^ Just suggested using transmutation to turn an entire wall into tar. This man is silly.

I wanted to do marble originally, but the texture really doesn't stretch well onto 300 slope.

Rock.  That would require substituting dirtwalls with surface mined platforms tho...

Ahh I feel better all time seeing others being even more mad than me.

 

Egard, for the 3 tile entrances you will want to find a spot where rockface is as parallel to tile borders as possible- otherwise it will carve deeply into the mountain body or will need extensive cliff sculpting to smooth out. If you plan it around sea level the bottom edge is easiest to level with opening tunnels then collapsing back one by one to avoid extensive dredging.

I also had to burn out veins which were of course right at the planned entrances.

I think nad will need you do a video tour so everyone can see his crazy mine and its epicness. No way to catch that on just screen shots. Use a hell cart so it don't take all day to make it to the top. =p
