Thought id make a thread, Forgive me if there is an official one or not.

About Shops, i was thinking of building a market, A town centre full of stalls which sell food, building supply's, anything, and keeping shops around the outside to sell Big gear like weapons, armour, Maybe a nice water feature in the centre. Comments Welcome!

this is where Broonie's economy mod will come in handy.

Here's a rough outline of what I had in mind:







Public area:

An area for shops, people can't build here without permission.

Housing area:

This is basically free build, but I would like to see some form of order when it comes to where people build.. Ie: No houses all over the place, build it like a neighbourhood => Don't hog land and try to keep builds as much the same as possible (read: no building out of glowstone and snow when there's nothing but cobblestone buildings for example)

In my opinion, the more organized the better. So say we have a section for housing, and another for business buildings. That way we won't have a cluster of random buildings all smashed together.

I'm with Sample on this. An organized Spawn would be very nice.

ASA will set up an embassy near the new spawn. there you can also buy anything that does damage and other PVP related items!!

I was going to suggest that earlier 404. Yep, maybe a recruitment centre of some kind. Organisation is the key to a lag free spawn. Spred it out a bit more though and maybe keep some surrounding grass, Wasn't much on the old spawn, made it look like ghost town too much.

(Ah, Flight seems to have covered my thoughts before I finished that post.)
Well, I don't have to make that trek to Toast Town anymore since I can warp.
I'm assuming we'll make a road to the old spawn? (A few people were working on a road already, not sure to where.)

There should be a road to old spawn eventually, yes.

On a different note, I'm going to have to ask people who haven't built in the housing area yet to refrain from "claiming" oversized plots.. Keep it to a normal size and don't go building supersized mansions / castles all over the place, it doesn't look right.

Housing area should be for 'Normal' sized houses, Not castles, farms, mod spawner's in basements. anything that would lead to lag (Cactus Farming on the Mass Scale)

I agree Rob.
I would add that complex redstone devices that are constantly doing something, like clocks (especially the popular 'rapid pulsar' clock) should also not be heavily used around spawn.

They can lag clients as well as put strain on the server.

spawn should have a sewage system.

In progress! ^-^

(Tetsuo-Co. Waste Disposal/Construction Ltd. contact me for details/installation information!)

I took a look at it today, really is pretty cool from what I saw!

If i build a massive cactus farm far away would that lag the server?
Cause ive been planning on one

Was wondering if Tetsuo-Co. Waste Disposal/Construction Ltd. can provide me with some porta loo's for the construction of the new McDonalds.

Stux, as long as there is some form of disposal (Like a stream leading into a lava pool) it shouldn't lag the map. We get lag when the thousands of cacti drop and just sit there.

Can I Build A Indoor Garden Around Spawn ? It Will Be Big Round Circle On The Sky.

Sewage system? How would that be useful in Minecraft? OHH an underground stream that if you had unwanted stuff, you go to the sewage opening then click 'Q' to drop it and watch it wash away?

That's the basic idea, yes.

There are a few garbage bins around spawn now, drop your items in and they land in the sewer.. Which has a "fire pit" every few blocks for disposed items to land in (and be destroyed).

the sewers look absolutely fantastic! bit smelly tho...

I'd love to check this out later. Another practical and creative use of the game's basic mechanics

Well done, guys!
