the Library is nearing completion, folks. i need to do three and a half more book stacks (out of twelve). then it's just time for the ladders and a few signs.
did some math last night. eight stacks of 5x2 and four stacks of 6x2 equal 128 bookcases on the floor. the stacks are 18 bookcases tall, so that's 2304 bookcases total. 6912 books, 20736 reeds, and 13824 blocks of wood (interestingly enough, that's 3456 logs).
i might add some more stacks in, though, so that's not finalized yet. i also need to install the fireplace and some other stuff.
edit:
note the RAM usage on that picture. that server had about eight times the RAM that ours does, a way better processor, and still took nine hours to process the effects of that explosion.
i think it's a bad idea until, like, the last week of the server.
