It Takes a [BTW] Village (4.30)
IP: 91.121.219.208:28506

With the expectation of the upcoming villager changes, I wanted to setup a server where the community goal is to build a metropolis for the slave, er, testificate population.

Server Details
The server runs on a commercial host, and I will initially support 10 players at a time. This first month is definitely a trial period and I may shop around for the best support.
There are 4 world backups a day.

BTW 4.30
All settings are default
(Hardcore Spawn = off)
Large Biomes are enabled
Difficulty is set to hard

Server Rules
This is a friendly server, griefing or otherwise interfering with another player’s enjoyment is not allowed.
No flying, x-ray, or other hacks.
The idea is for this to be a community project; play nice with others.

Server Plans
Well, we’ve moved out of the initial construction phase, and into the beginnings of automation. There are some great designer/builders as well as skilled redstone technicians, and several who do both.

My intent is still to create a city for villagers. Small single-use buildings, with a single door allowing for controlled villager cloning. The idea is to incorporate all the FUN of BTW into a medieval-ish city. I would like to see surface buildings in general, but as machines get more complicated, things would likely extend underground or into the mountains. Bonus points for aesthetics. I would prefer everyone utilize the existing landscape in their designs as opposed to flattening features.
I want input from the community regarding layouts and other general construction ideas.

Personal ‘outposts’ are perfectly acceptable, but please spend some time constructing buildings in town, as well. Resources are not community owned unless you want to share so find a safe place to stash your stuff. At the same time, show off your builds.

Check out the pictures below!

Ingame name: BinoAl
Goal for your initial contribution to the city: Initial tech tree advancement (I tend to get through it quickly)
Offer up any idea for the server: Maybe a communal area with plenty of equipment, to help others progress or skip stages entirely to contribute sooner?
EDIT: Rereading, I should've been more clear. By equipment, I meant things like saws and kilns, not tools :p

I might be interested in this. IGN: istp4lmrs

Goal for your initial contribution to the city: Hemp Farm and Fiber Production
Offer up any idea for the server: Divide the city into sectors ie: Farming, Manufacturing, ect.

Hey first time poster long time lurker. Been playing the mod for well over a year. I have been looking to join a server since my friends don't want to put BTW on our current server. Thought this would make for a good first jump into a server since it will be a friendly one.

Ingame name: frank2982
Goal for your initial contribution to the city: I don't automate too much stuff because I usually get bored with my worlds. So I wouldn't mind going around and doing some labor work to get the builds advanced to a higher point in the tech tree.
Offer up any idea for the server: Would be cool to make the world like a little civilization. Have people set up for certain things and they can focus on that. Then other than trading with in game villagers we could trade amongst ourselves.

I have a nice mob trap design, and plans for a huge project underground. Thanks! :)
Edit: any plans for any other mods?

[aeper]

Ign: Aeper
First goal: animal farms/small farming area
Large goal: Farming Village Or just automatic tanned leather

[Feliponius]

In-game name: PhilipPixler
First Goal: Assist in the tech tree. Don't necessarily always need my own place right off the bat.
Idea: Might be a good idea to have some form of central planning. A zoning board if you will, so that the place will be creatively unique, but at the same time, cohesive. In other words: Don't let the place become a hodge pogde! lol

Edit: Put the wrong in-game name haha

[dawnraider]

Oops, missed the application part.
goal: auto pottery/kiln
idea:have people each have their own houses, but then have a system that they build in the central village

[moonracer]

This sounds like an interesting idea. I'd like to help out.

Goal for your initial contribution to the city: Farmland, Tree farm/lumber yard

Offer up any idea for the server: Maybe set aside space for future buildings (library,temple and stuff) then set up roads. Maybe have a communal mine everyone uses and try to duplicate the game generated style (3x3 with tracks)?

Goal: To build something aesthetically pleasing, fitting with the mideval theme.
Idea: Create a gladiatorial arena of Zombies vs Testificates/Players.

[Dr Ug]

Yes please

IGN: DoctorUg
Goal: Improve the aesthetics of my factories to fit in with the medieval theme
Idea: A large Spleef Colosseum. Haven't played Spleef for quite a llong time, I wonder how netherack with SFS tools would go...

Oh, I thought you seemed familiar! :p

In my defense, I've gotten better. Also, the secret's been out of the bag for a week or so. Casinodoug has a server, and I joined it.

[Marasambala]

Ok, I hope I've got it covered...The first whitelist is open!
Let me know if there are any problems.

I'll get to the rest of you shortly, I've got to get kids into bed.

Farmland, Tree farm/lumber yard

Early tree farm is important, there aren’t many in the mountains
Civic buildings, that’s what I’m looking for.
Communal mine could potentially be really cool, if done right.

goal: auto pottery/kiln
idea:have people each have their own houses, but then have a system that they build in the central village

Automation for the win.
Yes, houses for everyone!

Cool, I really hope this becomes a ‘community’
I kind of like hodge-podge, but some street planning is definitely required. Buildings could then be fit in as needed. By the way, I don’t care for perfectly straight lines, give those roads a little curve. ;)
I’m an infrastructure kind of guy, too. Water, power, roads, etc.

Great! We need farms to get started for sure.

Yep, we'll need a mob trap.

Mods? whats that, I thought this was vanilla?

Everyone can always use some help.
Civilization is how I usually play my own SSP

I would also like to help on this. IGN: Ecoweb

I like them both, I guess we'll have to get organized ;)

Initial tech tree advancement (I tend to get through it quickly)
Maybe a communal area with plenty of equipment, to help others progress or skip stages entirely to contribute sooner?

Definitely, maybe a plaza or central square with a market/warehouse for storage, and access to BTW tech…and I’m thinking the whole city would be communal ;)

One more thing I forgot to add to the OP…Take care of those villagers, keep their breeding under control, watch out for infinite-spawn caves, remember zombies bust down doors chasing villagers, and also no multi-door breeding pens (FCs going to nerf that anyway). I actually would like to minimize doors, maybe only one per building? Anyway, use discretion.

Thanks for watching my back, FC.

Derp, Now it's 4.13

[BinoAl]

Heh, just ragequit because I kept getting disconnected and raped by skeletons out in the open

[Marasambala]

Yeah, I saw. I've got a really good connection so I don't think its the server. Daylight now ;)
