A small update on the server, the mob farm has been expanded to now also include an iron farm with a small sugar cane farm. The sugar cane farm probably is a little too small currently so will be expanded in the future if we need it. The mob/iron/sugar cane farm has been linked through the nether too and the portal can be found at East -7. I'll be bringing the stuff back for the main storage room but for now all the drops can be found at the farm.
On the subject of storage, the storage room above is no more and it has been replaced by a much bigger version. The new version features 2 double chests for 64 sortable items currently set to iron, gold, redstone, copper etc. and bulk storage of 12 double chests for the common items like cobblestone, stone, andesite, granite etc. All chests are marked by the block in the floor or ceiling with items that don't have a block form marked with an item frame. There's still 10 slots not assigned so if you think of anything that isn't assigned, let me know and I can set the filter. Currently any items that aren't filtered just go to the chests above this room which is accessible using the water column in the middle of the room.

Upstairs is a bit bare currently though ultimately will feature overflow storage for the auto-filtered room as well as manually sorted chests for those things we won't have a lot of i.e a redstone chest that will contain comparitors, repeaters, observers, droppers etc. basically stuff linked by a common thread but that we won't have bulk numbers of them. If there's room too, I'll be adding a super smelter too as as they're always useful. Giving the size of the building, I'm hoping for a 16 furnace version but we shall see how things pan out.
And yes, the storage room is an eye sore currently as I've built the inside first as that's the practical part. I know how I shall be decorating the outside but I just need to gather enough blocks first then it will be made pretty......well prettier at least.
