I have a couple stacks of bricks. I'm willing to dig up clay, but I'll only use so much of my coal and so many shovels.
I will take you up on that offer. You're free to donate as many (or few) coals, clay, and bricks as you want. I'll provide iron shovels for you since you'd be helping. I'll probably need at least a double chest full of red bricks to start, and that translates to 4 double chests of clay balls. I already have just under 2 double chests of clay and I'll be working on getting more soon. Why don't you send me a PM, Nick, and we can talk about this more there. Let me know what you think.
Eccentrus: I've been hitting up the local swamps since those are easier and I can see the clay on the dynmap, but as soon as I run out of close swamps, I'll hit the seabed. Btw, you should know I've only been collecting clay in order to kill time while the upper platform gets sorted and a correct starting point is created. After that happens, I'll go to work on the upper platform.
If anyone else wants to donate clay or bricks to the university, please let me know. :tiphat:
