Iron grinders: I'm loving the iron grinders! We've never had one due to a number of factors and doing it this way allowed us to put one together. I feel that the cost is pretty good, as for Metal Mountains we've always got a bottleneck either with villagers or with diamonds, (which is a good thing actually) but I know that larger towns didn't have that problem. Personally I'd rather the cost stay the same or about the same. The nether: The nether this rev is awesome! I love the custom terrain but, there is one big issue. The loot chests. When there ARE chests they're empty (not looted, just plain empty), and in the fortresses where there's supposed to be chests, there's just floating items instead which can easily despawn. This makes horse armor quite rare, and if someone is running by and loads the chunk but doesn't find or see the items they are now despawned and a non-renewable resource is gone forever. This makes exploring the nether a crapshoot, and with the empty chests on top of the floating items takes away from the incentive to explore an extremely dangerous place. Custom flora: Love it. Nothing bad to say about it. Trees are great. I'd love to see it continue. Portals: I think 4 portals plus spawn is the perfect amount. It allows fast travel to very distant places, but you still have to use rails and roads to get places, resulting in more exploration which is part of the entire point of this particular server. I do wish we would've stuck with the original idea of putting the portal signs out there a week after rev start. Ore distributions: I haven't done a ton of mining this rev. Everything seems pretty good except gold seems to be a bit lacking. I actually ran out at one point and the only thing we really use it for is powered rails. MapWorld: I think the idea is really cool, but personally I'm not going to use it. Its just not something I'm interested in. I'm sure other people will put it to good use though. Terrain: Love the terrain. I've got nothing bad to say about it. I like that there's a big giant ocean to explore. Maybe the islands could be a little bigger? I'm loving the TC mountains. Metal Mountains thanks you for that! Spawn: Was the flowercopter cool or not? Is silver a silly padmin? I'm indifferent. Was food accessible enough at the start? I found food just fine. Spawn challenges. Did you guys like those this rev? Should we do more in the future? I think the spawn challenges are cool. I'd like to see more. Custom mobs: How’d you guys like those? Should we try to introduce more types? Did they spawn too much/too little? Should current configurations of existing mobs be adjusted? Do you have any ideas for future variants? Custom mobs are very cool. I wouldn't mind seeing more or different kinds. Maybe make Dr. Cuddles more rare, since he basically means you're dead and increase the rate of the other custom mobs. /help: I'm indifferent.

Metal Mountains is planning to stick with CARTS this revision BUT, we're making our station expandable. To start with we will have 9 destinations and will make it expandable to 36 if need be. I just can't seem to get the hang of CARBON and I can't seem to find extremely simple tutorials that allow my redstone-less pea brain to understand. Of course, no offence to Random or the CARBON team who designed it or made the tutorials.

I'm in agreement with the majority of this thread. I just wish that I / we / the rest of the P community, would've known that the rev would last this long. Rev 10 (if I'm not mistaken) was apparently "the longest rev ever" and now Rev 11 has beat that. I know that myself, and many others in the community were under the impression that the rev was ending sometime in June. And, I know it wasn't stated outright but I got that impression from the mods as well. Even though we got posts that said "we have no intention of ending the rev just yet" it seemed that it would still be ending sometime *soon. I think most of the miscommunication revolved around the CTF game. CTF came and had issues, so was shut down. Then, we were told that the new rev would come after CTF. I'm sure most of us figured it'd be a week or 2 to fix CTF then we'd have a new rev afterwards. I'm in no way trying to bash any of the mods or techs. I understand that shit happens, things get delayed, and people have real lives. I just wish we were more informed as a community. It is my personal opinion that if we all knew what was going on then the rev wouldn't have died out when / as quickly as it did.

None of you should be surprised. Haha
