Are there some defined rules on building styles? I'm vaguely toying with the idea of building something offshore.

[sizeak]

I'd like to do some of the middle-lower class area, preferably the area near the slums gate, so as to be more lower-class oriented than middle-class oriented.

Or more specifically, I'd like these areas:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Starting with the purple, and moving on to develop the hillside (orange) up to the wall when OJ finishes his work on the top of the hill.

Is that south or east? If it's south then no

[Rose]

I'm seeing the slums there, so south-east.

[sizeak]

I say no because if it's just outside the southgate then that's where I'm farming red woods to make a nice forest walk out of the city

Yup, aim for victorian english/steampunk. That means lots of wood-braced cobble, pitched roofs, etc. Try to go easy on the glass; a couple of large windows, yes; an entire house, no. Think dark and foreboding, with heavy foundations rather than light and airy structures

EDIT: When you say offshore...? Off on an island, eh, I guess. An oil rig, not so much.

Claiming Plot #3.

---Zona seems to be building an inn some distance east of town.

My questios for these are:
-Why are they so far from town?

For the question pertaining to me, Its some distance from the city because I don't yet feel I have an idea worthy of the interior. Its also a way for me to collect resources well building something.

However if its location is a problem ill happily return the area to its natural state.

Who's building the wooden longhouse/farmhouse on the plains way out west? It's an extremely nice bit of architecture.

if you're gonna collect resources, at least collect them in a way that will benefit the rest of us.

Moria is in need of massively negative amounts of cobble. the digging rules here are entirely reasonable.

Ok, but can we literally dig any exposed smooth stone tops? I know that's what you said but when I went in, there were quite a few places where it looked like I probably shouldn't dig down. (I know we can only dig from the tops, also it was a while ago so don't ask for examples of what I mean )

[Rose]

literally any exposed smooth tops. the goal is to eventually have all the floors at bedrock level.

Also, using dirt as scaffolding is a good idea because we have a crap-load of it in the chest in the floor of the first landing.

Ok, I'll probably do some mining in the next few days then

The Middle Class Residential Area (check the map) is now Open for Construction.

Do whatever, but try to make some semblance of orderliness; do not crowd the roads or other plots. The goal here is to get something look reasonably organic without being chaotic, and orderly without being artificial.

Painted Ladies are something I'd like to see in the area.

For others that cba to find it (I know it's linked in the op) http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=62600.msg2295873#msg2295873

Na, its inside the city, near the slums gate. Which I think is supposed to be the east gate or something; directions are funny in Minecraft.

By the way, you misspelled caramel...
Sorry, just had to point that out.
