So, I decided since im only making a model to give my ideas life and the real project was going to be in SMP, I decided to give myself a little bit of help with MinEdit. I envisioned the terrain I was going to place my enormous structure, it was flat, it was stone, there were no trees, or gravel, or sand, or water in sight. So I deleted all of those blocks. What was left was truly beautiful. It looked like an enormous crater with a flat spot in the middle where a lake used to be. And since I had just started a new map the surrounding area was untouched as I discovered it.
This looks like a good start for this model.
others were working on the project to... We have two really good ideas that are doable on a lrage scale.
Just thinking about the ETS, I supose we should have some high-speed sections between far away stations.
We could use minecarts, everyone could have their own minecart that they can use (push a bit and jump in).
Or maybe we can use the boost-track-bug to make a little accelerator loop with a redstone switch to put the speeding cart on the main track. The switch could either be opperated by the person in the cart (hitting it might be a problem though) or by a sepparate player (to create more jobs when the need arrives).
I'm thinking it'll be like a road system.
You'll have walking zones on the sides, and the main tunnel system will be taken up my mine carts.
going to need LOTS of iron for the tracks though...
I wonder if it will be able to pull off without cheating, since we' ll need resources for tools too (we could just use a tonload of stone pickaxes made from the waste stone)
were gonna have a hoard of miners, minerals wont be a problem.
Is there any spot open for an above ground builder?
I don't have much experience of building, but practice makes perfect, right?
Whenever I do build I mainly build houses or small wooden forts (single man in a huge castle ain't nothing for me). If I can't be a builder I'd love to help any other way, for example help with collecting resources or something.
sure btw guys, anything above ground, or your own projects (not offical) is entirely up to you. Designers will work on things like thaigs (small towns) or farms.
I got ventrilo but i cant connect to any channels/servers!
Edit: an idea for new job: Recourse collector! Chops trees, hunt pigs, grow crops, ETC. like miner but above ground.
nope, where goanna have a huge underground forests, check op updated it with that and farming. But our aboveground builders are welcome to do that.
There should be a roll that you have to plant traps and steal valuable items from peoples houses and chests etc. Theres gonna be a lot of people that will try and destroy our stuff so we need the traps. And I mean who doesn't want to blow people up with a tnt trap? Also we can get lots of diamonds and stuff from people's houses. I can't think of a name but yea....
Well, we aren't a violent clan, our purpose is to build an underground tunnel system...not stealing stuff
We're most defiantly violent xD just not to eachother but if you see someone in our caves, you need to kill them. You don't want to spend a month working on something and then people come and destroy it. And like I said before, who doesn't wanna blow people up with a tnt trap? Also, there might be a new roll. Guard. You will have to protect our tunnels and cities
Edit: Lol didn't see you said "---forget what I wrote---" I was writing this post lol. I'm gonna leave it up anyway since I said about the guard roll =/
Paving the way for the largest and first fortress model to be designed for the ETS is almost done.
I need a few things from you, guys though.
1. A name for this enormous townfort.
2. Some help reconstructing it once SMP starts.
3. A rough idea of the dimensions of the EST, so I know how to implement it into the model.

if i love it i will use it for the capital, and you good sir will be a designer
Okay, I like your suggestions for a name for the fort, but I found my own.
Work on Castle Benefield is going smoothly, the ground is now a flat paved surface, construction on the walls is next to come, they will be extremely thick walls, so thick that a main feature of the castle will be that shops and other building will be carved out of the walls. Im not counting the dimensions right now, but to give you a rough idea, I put torches on the edges of the work area and when your standing on one side of it, you cannot see the other torches, until you get roughly to the middle.
I'll be using cartograph to upload some pictures soon.
anything you make yourself can be named what you want
Yeh I know, but at first I couldn't come up with anything, so I asked for suggestions, but then I just used the name of my ancestors castle, because I like that.
I've decided for now on walls that are 15 blocks thick.

if this turns out epicly awesome ill use it for the capital
Oh, it's going to be epic. If it turns out to become the capital I probably will only put one small 2x2 tunnel to the outside world, seeing as we are a tunnel based people.
EDIT: Ehh maybe some larger doors. Anyways, time to stop working on the castle, have an approx. 14 hour job to do, and my last approx. 2 hour one turned out to be 11 hours, so this could take a long, long time.
This is a pretty cool idea, love to see some massive underground nation beneath the feet of those above. I can just picture the sight of vast underground forests (maybe lit with magama strips along the ceiling held back by glass). Of course you might need to entice some grass down there so it looks like a proper forest.
I've only skimmed the topic thus far so:
Is there any work (and pictures of said work) thus far? Or are you waiting for the challenge of SMP?
Has anyone suggested perhaps moving this thread to the clans area (i.e. just ask a mod to do it)? I'm not sure of relative thread turn-over, but you may get more visibility there.
@ Wastedfate: Did anyone suggest Gormenghast? It's a bit on the nose, but if you need a name for a giant castle...
greetings, sir
as of right now, my members are hard at work gathering ideas for what this is gonig to look like, Urch an underground building designer, came up with a tunnel idea that was both doable, and impressive. I think i found my idea.
When beta starts thats when real practice will begin, were gonna start implementing all the ideas, see what works and doesnt. Then when release hits were gonna do everything that works
others were working on the project to... We have two really good ideas that are doable on a lrage scale.
