compass. it will always point towards your spawn. i think it's 4 steel ingots around a single red stone.
on my only real game, i never strayed too far from my spawn, except for when i found the site for my treehouse. when i built it, i dug out a canal from that area to my main base after establishing a burning-tree relay. (flint and steel, set fire to trees, some of the trunk will glitch and burn forever)

Good golly I forgot about the compass! The only problem with it is if you build away from your spawn (though I heard there's a way to change your spawn, so that fixes that).
I'm going to keep my system for now, then build bases at other points. Also, I CAN'T FIND THE FLIPPN' OCEAN!!!!
I'm in a valley with large "round" hills, occasionally a mountain appears, but I've yet to find an ocean, or even a large body of water.

round hills are the worst. i usually just restart if i can't find a significant body of water or a nice mountain/cliff.
and i think changing spawn points doesn't work yet, or it's buggy. very soon you'll be able to just make a portal network, though.

I got lost once for literally five or six hours before I found my base again. I nearly cried.

I have infinite springs, so I have a large amount of water to help me make a temporary fast travel system. With any luck they'll help me find the ocean soon enough.
That or I'll climb on top of a mountain and see what I can see =/
Ninety, that sucks. I hope I never get lost like that.

Sky Sanctuary Zone at stage one. It's walls are mostly dirt and gravel, but that will change when the tower's structure is finished and it's time to make it look as epic as it actually is. I wish I could devote all my time to this base. I really do. Sky Sanctuary Zone overlooks the Mountain Base, Tectis, Minion, and a few of the columns that I built to bring me to my ocean base (Itcatia). I should take a picture of Itcatia at some point in time, but I doubt it will look too terribly impressive. Then again, I doubt Sky Sanctuary Zone looks too impressive right now either XD

It was incredibly easy to throw together, too. I never got a picture of the inside of the lighthouse (this was on the world that got wiped) but that glass tube went all the way through the room and into the ground. Totally flubbed with the lava on the first build and flooded the beach.

Yeah. I'll just build another in the new world once I'm done with this Yggdrasil lookin' motherfucker I've got going. If someone attempts it before I can test it out, try taking out all the corner stacks (leaving the stone blocks intact) and see if that doesn't lend a more cylindrical look to the tower.

Just a couple more days 'til the Halloween update. Who's excited?
Oh, I'm calling crappy candy-cane swords for Christmas. I'm calling it now.

The update is out. Choobs has either died, or lost control of his bladder at this information.

The portal. 14 squares of obsidian and the "flint and steel" tool, which I fortunately made a long time ago (I tried to make one earlier when I couldn't find mine, but it was glitched so it couldn't make a new one). My first view of Hell was... interesting. As soon as I looked into it I started constructing a shelter. I brought two chests, a metal door, a switch, glass, stone, dirt, gravel, the flintlock (what I call the flint and steel tool) armor.... In short; the woiks. I'm going to expand my shelter a bit, so that I'm well prepared for everything I may need, and I'm going to be visiting Tectis (the farm) often, at least until I can find a large number of mushrooms.

Nah, I've just been sleeping. I have some work to do, but I'll check it out probably soon.
EDIT: I just checked out my world, and it looks like my base isn't in a snow biome, which would be kind of nice since that means everything doesn't freeze over, but my oceans are still completely solid. My options at this point are to lay tracks of tnt to break the ice or just start a new world. Thinking of just starting a new world.

The same thing happened to mine... which makes me sad. I loved my frozen world very much =(

just tried portalling in and out. It pops me out in some seemingly random place. It's pretty near my original location, where I intended on making a second fort, so I guess I'll have to do that.
But I also blew up my cannon, so I'm even more likely going to start a new game.

It threw me into a cavern near my base, though it was in an even smaller valley. Also, the ghasts blew up a chunk of my base in the Nether, and they deactivated my portal on that side.
