Freyr's Great Seamower of 2017

On Thursday 18th May 2017, fallerOfFalls finished building an epic seamower, a flying machine that moved back and forth over a large area of deep ocean to remove the water to make way for a gunpowder farm.

Aside from fallerOfFalls, six people logged in to watch. Cassian built a quick platform along two sides of the machine for optimal spectating. No one knew if it was going to break or explode or even work as intended. Dun dun dunnnnnn.

The machine worked without a hitch, and the sea was successfully de-seaed.

Everyone gradually turns up, many people guided by boat from fallerOfFalls' base.

The machine starts!

It rained a lot for the first half.

Everyone looked awesome.

Cassolotl cheated with their God powers just to take nice photos.

The machine is resource-intensive - there were many visual glitches.

Octangula could see the machine machining through the leaves at the sea bed.

When the machine got to the first block in the sea bed that it couldn't move, it stopped. There's still a couple of layers of water to remove manually.
