Day 803:
As I mentioned before, during the day I’m trying to tame the mountains. During the night, I’m mining toward the mountains, trying to get critical supplies like coal and iron ore, and diamonds…. and of course collecting a whole bunch of granite and the like while I’m at it.
(My dreams of cornering the interplanetary granite market are growing dimmer and dimmer every day I’m out here on this rock.)
Last night, I discovered a magma chamber. Unfortunately, I discovered it from below, not above. Fortunately, I was carrying glass with me just in case this kind of thing happened.
I still have zero understanding of why the lava doesn’t melt the glass, but as it is saving my life, I’m not arguing with it either.
So since I have this fancy picture-creator thingie now, I took a picture of what it looks like to be working from underneath a magma chamber. Mostly it consists of digging, then wedging a piece of glass in place very quickly, then digging. And if I mess up at all, running and throwing a bucket of water over my head get involved.
