another relaxing evening

 got a village quick, with lava to the east.

portal at -173,,-374 (-28,64,-32)

bastion e-raying: entity distance to 500%, add M and C, compare to the entity fraction at the top of the screen.  There would be about 30 more entities per bastion in the loaded area.  Then narrow the fov to get a heading.

I got a glitch and there were no blocks dropping when I mined gold or blocks in the bastion.  Now the game isn't saving so I bet I have to reset.

too bad!

wow.  I got the game working again.  found fortress, but not with the help of the pie chart.  that thing is still a mystery to me.

Died in the spawner room!  I'm one hour in.  If I plan and go there carefully, I can get a pb probably.  

I went straight west from the treasure bastion, just into the basalt delta area, followed some bridges and down one set of stairs.  Good luck future me.

next day: 

Collected everything a few times.  Threw it all into a lava sea.  end of story.

New world:

portal (34,,18)

nearest bastion was about 25 chunks away on bad terrain.  

died in basalt delta of course.

new world:

166,,-37

done.  2.43 hours.

pb and late night.

used e-ray AND pie-ray!  I even used pie-ray in the stronghold and it told me the spawner was close.

phew.

feels like an accomplishment.
