This game. I do want. And shall buy.
Seriously, it looks like a right barrel of laughs.

Its free, at least the mode we play.

Yes, but I'd rather have the whole thing and show a little support to the devs.

To be fair, it's not a game to play in the long run. You get tired of it quite easily

The indev mode is good fun - you actually have to mine things there (and it takes time to mine a block, unlike creative mode), and craft items to fend off monsters and zombies at night.
For instance, you combine two blocks of wood to make four sticks, then combine a stick and a piece of coal to make a torch, which you use to light the tunnels.
Hopefully these features will be added to multiplayer eventually!

This would indeed make the game more challenging, and better

That container ship looks brilliant. And yeah, the creative mode could be limited gameplay, although the multiplayer aspect makes it quite durable. But the /indev/ survival mode is gonna be big. It's brilliant already, and it's gonna be multiplayer too. Aside from that, there's gonna be more modes like one where you build your castle - alike creative mode - during the day, and then have to fight of hordes of monsters at night. And it's gonna be open for mods and add-ons, and looking at the large community at already has during alpha it's only gonna get better.

I created something which rivals the container ship, especially if you take into consideration that I didn't use any hacks to build it (with the exception of some minor tweaks when I finished it).

Beautiful
Did you build the bottom part of the hull without flying as well? It wasn't there when you started.
Btw, the biggest part of work on the container ship was digging the giant hole into ground

(This app;lies even more for the rocket, its hole is 35 levels deep and quite big as well).

The lower part of the ship was also build without flying, I got some help from that pole that is still visible in the last screenshot, I only removed that A LOT later. It gave me a hard time building the entire thing

Hah, ah yes. Brilliant stuff. You must have no hobbies at all to have the time and patience to build that though.

Looks like the last major natural area on the map is gone. I wonder what is going to be there...
Btw, who built that ultra ugly observation house on the floating island...it is supposed to be a natural reservation (hence the flowers, trees, wooden house and wooden interior and wooden Zombie Escape System (c) )

As noted before, we already had a chapel stuffed somewhere
Must've taken some time building that though.

That makes my little humble chapel inside the floating island pale in comparsion
But...where are the catacombs, every true medieval building must have catacombs
