If im correct large animals are 2 blocks long and baby animals are less than 1, so we could put the parents on a higher floor that has series of 1 block holes through which baby animals fall when they are bred.They are then let age on the lower floor and killed through a lava or fire system to avoid us losing pxlz when we kill them. In the case of sheep there is no need to kill them, simply shear them.

I don't think we get charged for killing pigs. I haven't at least. I think we get charged for killing sheep, but that is due to there being no reason to kill them.

As for cows, I haven't tried killing one.

If we do use that system though, I think we should use water instead of fire or lava, because fire and lava will destroy their drops. Water would run it down to where we can retrieve the items they drop.

Ok, well i had posted this in the Glowford projects and jobs topic, but not that many people check it out so I've decided to post it here as well, simply because the project would be so big. The text is written in a manner addressing you as if you are a resident of Glowford because i didn't change it. If you're actually patient enough to read this monster-sized text, then go ahead.


Ok, residents, get ready for some crazy ideas! Nocti, you've heard of them but now imma detail them! Ok, so here's what I got:
1.Glowford RedStone Laboratories™
and
2.Glowford Industries™
Both of these facilities would have a great purpose. Glowford redstone laboratories would be extremely beneficial. It would be an area where all types of redstone circuits, their purpose and how to use them would be exposed. There would also be mechanisms serving different purposes that would be invented, such as complex locks, hidden doors and material generators. Most circuits would run on a timer loop so you could see them in action, 24/7. We would also offer to build them for you and pay you to contribute, but you must first pass some tests to qualify for a job.

OK now that that's cleared, on with the jumbo-project!
Glowford Industries, we make EVERYTHING!

SO, Glowford industries would make applying for jobs have a real use! All these farmers, miners and other guys in other towns never really do anything. We will turn that around! Here, we will put all our best and loyal residents at work to... work in a factory! YES, that's what it is! A super-sized object production area! So far HPcraft plays it like in the old day, buy from a merchant, make it yourself or become a merchant in order to make pxlz. Not anymore! Here, doing your job will earn you SALARY! Salary will make you want to do your job! Doing your job will help the factory run! The running factory will make things! These things will be stored in a high-security multi-leveled storage area! There will be a giant MALL, where all these objects will be SOLD ALL OVER HPCRAFT! This will make revenue, to be able to pay your salaries and make MONEY! HAYO! This in turn will make Glowford's economy thrive! Make it a prosperous NATION and we shall PREVAIL! AND everyone will be well supplied for whatever they WANT!!! Here are the jobs!

You shall check on the project and make sure everything is going well, everyone's getting payed and the that everything is running smooth!

You shall report fishy happenings in Glowford's projects and jobs topic and report greifs in the OFFICIAL GREIF REPORTS topic on the board.

12.Last but not least! Advertiser! This part is one of the most important, and best of all, anybody can do it! You don't even need to apply! Not only will you be beneficial to Glowford, but to HPcraft TOO! YOu will go anywhere, wether it be on other servers, youtube, forums, real life or anywhere else you can this of, you shall advertise our beautiful server, HPcraft and encourage new members to join glowford! You WILL get payed if you provide sufficient proof you have brought people to the server AND into glowford, this means both! It means you brought somebody from anywhere on the internet or real life, got him to join HPcraft and then got him to join Glowford! How much you get payed will depend, if it was a one time thing, you will be payed less than somebody who brings in 3 members a week for example.

REMEMBER, DO YOUR PART, MAKE US PROUD AND GLOWFORD SHALL PROSPER!

Disclaimer : If you die because you played too much minecraft to work in this project, nobody can be held accountable but yourself! (like this will happen, i did wrote for fun!)

Certain people will not be allowed to do certain jobs, and certain jobs you may not apply for, use common sense. If you wish to do any of these jobs, apply in Glowford's projects and jobs topic or in-game to a project supervisor and you will be informed whether you fit for the part, the implications and requirements. You may lose your job at any time and for any reason at all, should you be fired, you may not contest and a project supervisor will not be required to provide an explanation, although he may if he wants to, thus why you need to be so highly trusted to be that rank.

i have a simple idea, but it might not be possible. It is basicly is something henry ford did. He made mass production of items by making an assembly line and we could maybe push it along useing sticky pistons in some sort of way. I have an idea on how to make this but i cant prove that it will completly work... ill try to make designs if you aprove of this idea. leave a reply behind this if you like this idea =D

[dodo2000107]

Yeah sure pistons would be FUN at the least, but they would only serve as aesthetics since at the moment pistons don't break blocks, put them into workbenches or chests.

[dodo2000107]

Actually, I got a great idea at school today. A block deposit system. The miner would deposit his ores into a machine, press a button and then a piston and sand belt system would proceed to bring the ores to a specific area. Then a projects supervisor would go and collect the ores, pay the guy and then put the ores in chests.

[Carter33]

dodo i like your idea and it would work in a similar way as my idea... except less complicated =P. i can show you designs do what you MAY be thinking of soon

[301heng]

no, dodo, it will not work as there is not enough people in the town to collect and gather resources effectively. i think it would be smarter to make something like a locker system in which only the supervisor and owner of the locker can access. It could also reduce the chance of mix-ups when the supervisor is holding the same item deposited.

[dodo2000107]

Good idea, i just tend to like to complicate things, but yeah, that's more simple.
