Briefly, India is shorter of gold, particularly for her jewellery trade, than any other country.' Well, England needs that gold, badly - and the quicker the better.' You know about the currency crisis and the high bank rate? Of course. The Bank can do nothing about it, so we are asking you to bring Mr Gold-finger to book, Mr Bond, and get that gold back. And that gold, or most of it, belongs to England. It needs a microscope to see it, but somewhere, on each Goldfinger bar, a minute letter Z has been scratched in the metal. Oddly enough, like all artists, he couldn't refrain from signing his handiwork. I flew to Nassau and had a look at the five million pounds' worth or so he holds there in the vaults of the Royal Bank of Canada. They're bars that Mr Goldfinger has melted himself. They don't carry any official marks of origin whatsoever. And those bars, Mr Bond, are not Mint bars. In Zurich, in Nassau, in Panama, in New York, he has twenty million pounds' worth of gold bars on safe deposit. 'It took me five years, Mr Bond, to find out that Mr Goldfinger, in ready money, is the richest man in England. He placed both hands palm downwards on the desk and leant forward. Bond glanced surreptitiously at his watch. The rumble of the City came through the half-open window high up in the wall behind his chair. In a period of history when every tomorrow may be the evil day, it is fair enough to say that a fat proportion of the gold that is dug out of one corner of the earth is at once buried again in another corner.'Ĭolonel Smithers paused. Fear, Mr Bond, takes gold out of circulation and hoards it against the evil day. 'The other and by far the major defect is that it is the talisman of fear. I said that gold has two defects.' Colonel Smithers looked sad. Every year, the world's stock is invisibly reduced by friction. It wears out quickly, leaves itself on the linings of our pockets and in the sweat of our skins. It is brilliant, malleable, ductile, almost unalterable and more dense than any of the common metals except platinum. Gold has extraordinary properties which are being put to new uses every day. New industries need gold wire, gold plating, amalgams of gold. All these new people will be taking tons of gold off the market every year. Others need gold-rimmed spectacles, jewellery, engagement rings. Another percentage needs gold fillings for their teeth. A small percentage of those people become gold hoarders, people who are frightened of currencies, who like to bury some sovereigns in the garden or under the bed. The population of the world is increasing at the rate of five thousand four hundred every hour of the day. Note: This is NOT intended as a place for discussions.'I'm afraid not, Mr Bond. (If I missed any pages, please direct-message me to add it on the list) Definitely worth checking, as most things there would not be found here. These are pages that other people made hosting their own blocks. The next time you boot up TT, they should appear! (Folder paths do not matter as long as they are in 'Custom Blocks'). #Terratech mods zipGrab zip files from here, drag the folder or contents in to the folder. A new folder called 'Custom Blocks' should appear. #Terratech mods installInstall the Block Inject Library with TTMM, and run the game. #Terratech mods how toIt will require learning how to use, but it is a really powerful utility once you are comfortable in it. You can look at other blocks people made for reference on how to make your own. Recommended text editor is Visual Studio Code. This should contain all the properties that you can modify to make your very own block, of ranging complexity. (Github always has the most up-to-date version, unlike the one that generates in the Custom Blocks folder) Take a look at the Example.json file on the Github. Pack your block files in zips and show them off!įor the Block Inject Library's custom block loader feature. Share your custom blocks here! (Images help show off what you've made)
