Ore Collection

This post has too much text. I thought about taking screenshot of my spelunking adventures, but I'm pretty sure most caves look the same and won't give you a good sense of just how quickly I lose sense of direction. Instead, I'll randomly insert fun pictures.

Here's lunch!

I'm running out of iron. Time to head back down into my massive mines to see what unexplored caverns I can find.

Nothing much showed up in the first couple of branches. Maybe 9 bars total? I did find a dungeon that was spawning lots of zombies. I tried to get close, but I just ended up dying a lot.

Eventually I gave up and went back in search of more iron. I figured I still had lots of lava fields I hadn't explored so I went deep deep deep into my mine to see what I could find. What did I find? Paydirt! It seemed like every cavern I found led to tons of iron and at least two more caverns! I even found lots of gold and diamonds!!! Not that those are much use to me.

Here's a small army of goddamn monstahs waiting outside one of my homes.

At one point I was holding about 40 chunks of iron ore on my person when I found another patch of lava. I filled in the lava and walked past when suddenly I caught fire! I guess my filler had melted. I started to panic and ran back toward the closest water but knew I wouldn't make it. When I respawned, I panicked a little. If I had died standing in lava all my precious iron would be gone! Fortunately, I eventually found all my gear and resolved that now was as good a time as any to head back to the surface and build some train tracks:

I stood on my roof and waited for sunrise which is potentially my favourite time of day:
