Drill notes
I'm currently drilling to the overworld border in Minecraft, here is a list of everything the machine stopped, and what happened


-2291714:

Another piglin stopped the machine

At this point I have stopped trying new fixes,

and rely on this machine + checkpoints.

It should be good enough to finish.

We're anyways starting to get close.


-2285635:

Piglins stopped machine

Made a checkpoint base

Crazy: The nether portal spawned

inside a mob spawner room

We march on <3


-2132602:

Made a checkpoint base.


~-2200000:

Shot by Piglin (super unlucky)

200k setback

So many mobs recently

But we continue


-2113408:

Accidentally turned off my PC

First time in 20 days :D (also did it on day 2)



-1981875:

Made a checkpoint base! 50% secured!

We march on.


-1955344:

Machine got stopped by Pigman.

I also realized I cannot stop the machine unless

it is stopped by a mob. So we will just make the checkpoint

base whenever the next mob stops the machine.

Just hoping it won't kill me this time, as that would be

a 500k setback roughly...


-1840842 (ty Zenon):

Killed by Dropbear.

I got lazy and allowed myself to respawn at the drill this once.

We march on.


-1619633:

Skeleton blocked the tunnel.

I have moved the machine to dig next to the

old tunnel to reduce risk of mobs spawning in front.


-1764789:

Shot by piglin again! :(

Lost about 170k blocks (about 1-2 days of drilling).

I have tried to upgrade the machine once again

We march on.



-1764789:

-1695411:

Piglin stopped machine - we also have some nice guests

following us from behind (yellow dots are mobs)


-1624068:

Ran out of disk space


-1616860:

Dropbear (Alex's mobs) killed me.

Not a big setback luckily - I have surrounded

the player character with saws now, so nothing can

attack other than projectiles.

I also made a checkpoint base near here

We march on! Almost halfways!! :D


-1608405:

Wither skeleton blocked the way

I killed it and restarted the machine


-1576293:

Plot twist: It wasn't once in a lifetime :D

Twisting vines blocking the way again.

Removed them and now we're up again.


1461036:

Machine stopped due to twisting vines suddenly

obstructing the slot it was supposed to build on.

This has to be a once in a lifetime.


-1444644:

Pigman got in the way - made a checkpoint bed and

manually removed him


-1389596:

My internet somehow went offline - it's online again


-745950:

Made a checkpoint bed at around 6m overworld


-440215:

Game crashed - have started it again


-372378 (ty Zenon & Hola):

After rebuilding the machine at the

temporary base at -200k,

I forgot to glue the deployers onto

the machine, and the drills just drilled through them :S

Which resulted in liquid breaking the machine once again...

I have mounted 6 new deployers properly now.

Hopefully we will recover from the piglin death soon! :D

We march on!

(hopefully many hundred thousand blocks this time)


-481572:

Shot by Piglin! RIP

lost 300k blocks

fix: just put the seat further away

from the potential dangerous mobs spot

but OMG.... 2 days of progress gone

we will catch up soon :D


-304523:

The machine somehow didn't fill a hole - I'm not sure why.I just started it again manually.
2 interventions in a day, new record.

-302801:
A piglin got stuck and stopped the machine.
I had to remove it manually - if it happens again
we will have to have something that gets rids of mobs.
We march on

-249538:
Small hiccup - machine ran out of
netherack for bridge building and almost
fell down! Now it can place any block it picks up,
not just netherrack - in case of holes or need
for a bridge. Should be good!
Also made a checkpoint bed here, just in case.

-140551:
Machine seems really stable!
Hopefully it will last for a long time now.
stream went down, because I by instinct turned
off my PC. RIP
I have put tape on the switch now :D
Also woo, 100k *confetti*
Next goal is 500k

-69426:

The machine got stopped by liquid.

I simply forgot to filter one of the deployers.

Nice number to break at though ;)

And for those stumbling upon this post, we did actually make it to the world border! It took 49 days. It was really satisfying to arrive. While I at the same time am glad it's over, I also kind of miss drilling the tunnel. Maybe it's not the last time, I do something like this
