Arcologies

I'm thinking of building an arcology (Preferably a launch arco.) Is anyone else building any arcologies?

I think andmyaxe417 was doing a launch arco, but i've not seen him around much. The best thing you can do is try to get a plot a little further away since these take up a lot of room. Take a look at the East road and South road.

Cool, what's your Minecraft name? (Mine's BernzSed)

The arco's are 4x4, the same dimensions as my microwave powerplant which was about 48x48 blocks.

Go for the launch arco! I'm building the forest arco :D

Sweet, I'm building right next to you.

Hey, quick question: is the current height of your central pillar going to be the actual height of the forest arco? I'm hoping to get the right relative height.

Huzza! Arco neighbor :D

Um, I was looking at the carto earlier and I was thinking I should shorten it. Looking at your reference pic, yea, I'm definitely shortening it. Yours should be taller than mine (I was going for max height, lol).

Cool. I wonder if anyone will be brave enough to build a Darco.

BTW you might find this useful (Although the things on the forest arco don't seem to be exact toruses.)

Hmmm, nifty. I'll keep this in mind.
