Wanted: Workers to dig giant hole in the ground

Oozinator, whose avatar is a picture of toxic waste... made a thread... asking random people or "workers" to dig a huge hole in the middle of nowhere. And is asking said area to be "zoned off" under Kagato.

I find the whole charade questionable and suspicious.

...

I want one million pretzels, a chartered trip back to the land before time and a hat. Or I'll inform the authorities about your whole operation Mr Burns.

I can assure you that it's not going to house a giant disc that will block out the sun.

Other claims (nuclear missiles, giant x-ray gun of death, magnifying glass, gravity destabilizer, mutant clone soldier laboratory) are as equally unfounded.

Oh well, as long as it doesn't involve pollutifying the ground with huge mounds of toxic waste... that would fumigate my limited imagination. :I
 
So yeah, update:

Thanks to all who helped!

But we're not done yet! More to come later!
 
1. We should gather everyone who helped and take a celebratory photo.
2. You say we aren't done... but the hole is dug. What else do we have to do?

1. Sounds like a great idea! Now to figure out how everyone can be in it.
2. Nah man, we've got like 20 more layers to go.

Haha, kidding. The heavy stuff is all done. But I'll be working (mostly on my own) on small projects around the crater. I don't really need volunteers for these things, but if you've got nothing to do, you're more than welcomed to chill around the area and crash at the ranger station.

All of the cobble in the crater are errors done by oozi so we have to replace the cobble with a substitute.

How did you delete the cave spider spawner?

I was thinking of re-doing the entire surface with sandstone or sand to make it blend in with the surrounding area, but I rather like the effect the crater has right now. If the cobble bothers you, you may replace it with smoothstone (check my room) but it's not something we really have to do.

Also I didn't delete the cave spider spawner. I just buried it.

You should charge 1500000 diamonds to look the crater for 10sec.

Somehow I don't see this being enforceable. But I want it to be accessible for free by the general public anyway.

Too bad no one's really flocking to it. :confused:
 
I just wasted time reading about how Ooz oragnized a giant hole project e___e I shouldn't be as surprised as I am lol

Hello everyone!

Though it's titled like one, I can assure you this is not an Onion article. This is a legit building project.
Ladies and gentlemen, I propose that we dig out a crater.

First off, let it be known that I like big holes, and I cannot lie. And I know that you other brothers can't deny this either.
Thus, I've made this thread to generate public interest and hopefully to find others willing to toil alongside me.

Location

I've already scouted out a location (epicenter around 816, 39, -1048) that I think would be perfect for the crater (see "Plans") and have engineered its shape. The crater is in a location where it will be overlooked by a large hill, so you know the view will be awesome. I also chose this spot taking natural aesthetics into consideration - this project will not destroy any existing special natural features.

Specifications

The crater will be 26 blocks deep and just under 120 blocks in diameter. This is wide enough to still look impressive while allowing visitors to still see the entire crater on normal render distance. The depth was chosen to minimize the risk of running into unsightly monsters spawners. Hollowing out the crater would be equivalent to hollowing out 9 chunks (16 x 16) from surface to bedrock and should yield about 40-43 double chests worth of blocks (close to 150,000 blocks). This is why I'd like some help.

Engineering

You may think that you can afford to be careless digging out a hole, but I'm going to need meticulous people for this one. I want this crater to look perfectly smooth and symmetrical, so I've created a height map and crater profile (see "Plans") to aid in cutting out the slopes. Those who'd like to help should study these.

Legacy

Once the crater is completed, I'd like to see the area protected in some way. I haven't decided whether I should get Kagato to zone off the area or just erect a simple perimeter fence. I would like the crater bottom to be accessible by the public though. The end product should look similar to this, but wider, cleaner, and not as deep:

[collapse=TL;DR]Let's dig a crater, yo.

Crater Specifications

- Epicenter (lowest center point): 816, 39, -1047 thru 817, 39, -1048
- Surface Height: 65
- Max Diameter: 116 blocks
- Max Depth: 26 blocks
- Amount to be removed: ~150,000 blocks (Equivalent to nine 16 x 16 x 64 chunks, or 43 double-chests of blocks)

Read "Plans" carefully for blueprints.[/collapse]

Now can I get some volunteers?

I just thought I'd mention that i've been messing around with Voltz, and I the best crater I've ever seen is made via an explosive in it. It's the Antimatter explosive box. it's crazy! Just thought you might check it out.
