I haven't played in a couple of weeks, mostly as a result of other things catching my attention. My roomate took the wifi, and I was determined to hop on Greg, so i biked to the library. Killed two birds with one stone by also returning 20 items that were overdue. Today was our first forray into steam technology, and my dear friend walked me through the creation. We moved one water tanker onto the roof and connected it with bronze pipes, wrenched it to the first device, and then a large pipe so that we could make some red alloy. I made my first piston, and I made a wire cutter for the first time. The last week of play (in late June) I was retracing my steps and trying to master tier zero, making all of the bound and tanned leather items that I could conceieve of. We are entering the new area for sure this time.

My given task was dealing with the water tanker, a device that allows for water collection because, of course, you cannot collect water from an infinite resource. I built two, because I felt like it would be more useful than creating just one. I talked on the telephone while I went back and forth getting sap from rubber trees and adding the few materials I forgot about into the crafting table with a memory. Besides that, I made some better storage for the chickens. Nothing special, and it burned some time, but it was the little things to make the world more livable.

Today was all about the smelter, the final true invention before making our way over to steam. I had spent the last few days clearing up old questlines, working on making bound leather and various small crafts relating to our agricultural setup. Building it was not a huge pain because my friend got all of the materials beforehand. The way it works was pretty complicated in the beginning, and I had to look up a number of things to make the invention somewhat useful, but then I created my first seared stone with it. My other friend is on a journey across the map to get lava, so he can make iron tools and casting requirments, but frankly I am lost on where to go from there.

Of course, my gregtech journey started long (1 week) before this blog will be accounting for anything, but this day was the day I decided to create a diary for my spoils. Mostly, I found it to be so menial, pointless, and hilarious that I forgot what even started it. What happened was an endercreeper made his way into my base, leading to an explosion of our glorious coke oven, the spoils of our early game, allowing us to convert wood into coal at no extra cost. I spent the following hour collecting birch wood to fix our base as well as getting clay and the other neccecary materials to repair the coke oven. Thirty minutes in, it felt like I was making real progress, until I remembered that this all started because of an overall avoidable accident I made inside of the house. My friend (the inital man who convinced us to begin playing) scolded me for two hours about my error. All is love though. I fixed it up real nice and then went to bed.
