Unexpected Treasure


Things are looking up in the Canopy.  Still no resolution to the spider spawner, despite my best efforts to dig and uncover every possible area it might be hiding in.  I have the sneaking suspicion it might be under the bedrock itself.  I did finally remember that string makes wool!  A cozy bed makes the basement look a little more friendly.


The greenhouse got an expansion and I re-plumbed the water delivery system to take advantage of a natural pool overhead.


The skywalk got a couple of expansions as well - off towards a grove of Queen Spire trees.  Simply walking across these branches is a nail biting experience, as there's rarely more than a slim ledge to sneak across.


At 90 degree angle to this walkway is a much longer one, which has allowed me to colonize a couple of Flatshelf Pines and mine out some Titan Willows.  (Annoying trees, little bits of broken log everywhere inside.)


I'd have to say that the Flatshelfs are my favorite tree so far - lots of open spaces for good visibility and a nice thick trunk for making hidey holes.  The closest one is rather small, but you can see a much larger specimen faintly in the background.  That's where I started a second base-camp.  If my "home" tree is spider-central, well this new locale is Slimeville.  Never have I seen so many bouncing green jelly cubes.

While taking down part of the Willow in my way, I spotted a very odd sight.


Either that's one giant of a chest ... or it's floating in mid-air?


Snaking a temporary bridge over to the levitating box, I found some welcome treasure - four cookies and a Diamond Axe!  I wonder if there could be more treasure boxes around?  A better question would be, am I daring enough to go looking for them.
