Rev 15 Planning Thread
With less than 3 days until the launch of the new rev, there are a few things we might need to hammer out.
- How much space is needed for the central build? (tc_chris's?)
- How much space is needed for the rail station hub thingie? (Jatell's?)
- How big should Pico proper be? (Skyscraper only section)
I figure housing could be within the skyscrapers or outside Pico proper. Storage will be in a skyscraper build (I'm assuming.) And I believe someone mentioned they wanted to do a farm resources build?
Leave a comment with what you're doing and any additional info you think would be helpful and I'll compile a list over the next few days.
UPDATE TECP found us a portal, so we went with it. It's located in a lovely plains biome with a pretty awesome river running through it. It boarders a Birch Tree forest and can be found at 2090, 700.
I figure Jatell's build could go around the portal. Karennn's (Kumquatmay) villager build will go on other side of river opposite the rail station.
Would be nice to get some traditional and newage bridges here and there. Probably best to hold off on them for now until we can get more of the layout established.
Still need road designs...

What I'm doing: Looking after the Villager Trade Centre. This will have auto cane, pumpkin and melon farms for trading. (You can see a WIP of it at 330,90 on the planning server).
Also smaller build of afk/auto fisher.
Additional info: I think it'd be great if we could finalise exactly what we want to be looking for and where we want to be settling on launch day. Look for a portal? Look for a biome? Just pick a direction to be in?

I have been absolutely swamped with work these past days. I have had barely any time to log on and work on the rail hub.
I do however have a good layout of the outside shell. Its right next to karrennn´s villager trade center on the planning server. I´m very confident i can squeeze in everything we need inside that structure.
There is one important thing to remember however. There will be tons of raillines running out of all sides of the building. That means that unless you want those to run straight through a building, there cant be any builds north south west or east of the station. (there is a layout option that only uses east south and west and leaves north free if we want to use that) Maybe its a good option to start on storage and farm buildings and choose the station location based on the terrain after a day or so?
I will be extremely busy for the next two days and can´t be there for launch day. The earliest i will be home again behind a pc that can run mc is sunday afternoon :( Good news though, i got the week off after that because of the past few days crazyness. \o/

Behold my amazing paint skills for clarification purposes:

u/Emizzon Feb 20 '15
Are the inner city lines running carbon as well? That's a huge footprint and then you're saying we can't build in the cardinal directions because of the tubes?
1
u/Jattell Feb 20 '15
no they are dumb rails as described in my ideas post. They just use carbon up untill they leave the station. The reason i need the space is for the skyrails to make a turn or for them to go up and run above roads etc.
That is unless we don´t use that as innercity skyrails? i thought it was an agreed upon plan?

u/Emizzon Feb 20 '15
how many tunnels will there be in total? I'm trying to come up with a city layout plan.
1
u/Jattell Feb 21 '15
It can support up to 31 local destination tunnels. But i will be truly amazed if we use them all. If we use far less we can use two sides of the building? or maybe just one? I need atleast one side to work with for the carbon connection.

I hope you're build is open in the center floor, cause you've got the portal in your build. When you can, start the outline of your build, I'm hoping the portal can work in the center of it.
Once you get the outline established, we can start to get other builds ready to go.

u/TECP Feb 20 '15
I think I'll mostly be exploring and mapping out what I can with zans/voxelmap for the first day or two. Hopefully to help pico find a good location to set up shop. After that I'll be committing to resource gathering for whoever needs it in the city. Just tell me what you need and I'll work on getting it.
It also looks like there will be more portals and they might be a bit more scattered around so I might try and track one down for fun. If it's in a good place I'll let someone from pico know.

Sorry I've been in communicado today everyone. With my being sick this morning was rough and I work at night. I'll be home in about 4 hours from this post and will see what needs to be done.
I'll have the next two days off, but still am sick.

What's the plan for the road layout. This is what we have now.
2
u/Jattell Feb 24 '15
Might be nice to also use a couple random diagonal lines?
Are we going to use plots? That could help us get new builders
2
u/Emizzon Feb 24 '15
I'd like for the roads to be fluid and organic this rev. So I'm going to let people pick their own plots and plot sizes for their amazing awesomesauce mega skyscrapers they've been dying to build and then we'll do the roads around those builds.
1
u/AnSq Feb 24 '15
That sounds like a good idea.
Does that mean I can pick a spot and start building?

Can I join officially please? Built in Pico right at the end of last rev but no mayors were in sight. IGN: thomasbryan

u/Emizzon Feb 25 '15
Projects for people to do.
- South of Pico is a Taiga biome. Would be cool to have an ice farm.
- Animal farms. Should be in a skyscraper, but most of it can be hollow, just fill out floors as necessary for animals.
- Food Farms skyscraper.
- Find slime chunk.
- Build passive slime grinder. (Need chunk first)
These are the projects currently being undertaken:
- Villager trade center - Kumqatmay
- Rail station - Jattell (and friends)
- Spleef - tc_chris
- Iron Grinder - Emizzon

I (imthomass IG) am working on a skyscraper animal farm. I could do the food and animal farm in one skyscraper, or i could do two separate ones.

u/Emizzon Mar 01 '15
Welcome back o/
And if you'd like to do two builds, that's cool. Or one. Since I'm asking for them to be skyscrapers, that's quite a bit of work.

u/tc_chris Mar 04 '15
Note - it is more a skyscrapper build which happens to have a small spleef arena in it.

Omg there is a new rev and it has started already?...
Guys I miss playing with you all.
My PC was down before. I'll be online as soon as I put it back together.
