my computer died, so no tfc for me.

[Imofexios]

RIP Insanegame27th's Computer

SERVER IS OPEN!!

[Imofexios]

I will be making outpost somewhere south of spawn where we can gather up and look town location together.
Name is simply Bay12_Outpost.
Not making any new threads since not sure how many are coming back.

[Imofexios]

RiverTown is up!
Can be found North of spawn. Nice place so lets get planning the outlook

I planted lot of crops you to get going on the fields. Need you kind look the good place for fields and the farmhouse.
Simple plan of main area.

[Pencil_Art]

I won't be on for approximately a month but it's good to see we are getting somewhere .

[Imofexios]

Aww sorry to hear that. Andrea_2 me and Mcipher is on i think. Join up once got time again.

[scrdest]

I'd join right now, but I didn't check that you need to reapply for the whitelist, so... >.>

[Imofexios]

Whitelisting is usually fast
Asked admin to do so now.

[scrdest]

Damn, it really is. Coming.

E: Fixed.

Posting some possibilities for settling which I found while exploring

oldtown. This is where imofexios set up camp.

pros: close to spawn, plenty of fresh water
cons: no confirmed mineral nearby


The gorge ( thought it looked sort of nice, nothing special)

side 2

pros: close to spawn, fresh water , found evidence of tetrahedrite not too far
cons: no big con

The Horseshoe of gods

close view

farther view

pros: still within a day of walk from spawn, the horseshoe mountain has potential, and minerals: found exposed native copper, found tetrahedrite, silver and hematite nugget.
cons: no fresh water on site, crops will have to be farther, grow slowly, or we will have to dig canals

The waterside cave

far view

close view

pros: evidence of copper in the area, potential for an unusual town, gold.
cons: far from spawn, no fresh water


Personally, I like the waterside cave, but we need at least an outpost at the horseshoe for mining purposes.

at least in the waterside cave , fresh water might not be an issue for long.  considering the level of the bottom of the cave, we can transport water from far away. not trivial, but not impossible either (now, using that fresh water to grow crops is a whole other challenge does artificial light work?)

[Imofexios]

Well im good either way. Make something dwarfy in the cave and another outpost to have docs closer to spawn ono horseshoe

[scrdest]

It'd be cool if we could make a Petra-style town in the ravine/cave.

[Imofexios]

I found native copper exposed just few tiles North of our future town
The copper was closer than we thought. Time to get mining!!!!

[andrea]

who needs prospecting, when we have dumb luck?

[andrea]

Sorry for the double post, but there is something that needs to be said as soon as possible.

Whenever you dig in the cave, use supports! temporary supports first, then supports integrated in whatever structure you are making. A big cave in could bury us all and destroy the cave.
So, supports, supports, supports!


My plan for the cave is wooden walkways with houses on the sides, but a full petra style rock carvings only is not bad either.
Also, should we have the walkways connecting places outside (FUN if we fall) or just have an entrace and have stairs and corridors inside? ( no risk of falling, but it is basically invisible)
