Megacity progress shot

Hey there, here's a pic of what me and some other guys have done so far.

Cityinprogress

I'm intending to have an ever expanding city with various small and large buildings, farms, the lot, so long as it looks neat. =P

Anyone is welcome to come along and add their own buildings to this place, just let me know first.

Thanks to xXParanoiia, Chipstik and AssassinJames.

Edit: And at some point in the future once the city is far more developed, to have a powered minecart system leading to other large projects in the world.

Except for the two houses on the left (made by xXParanoiia) next to the mario house, I made everything in the screenshot.

Although, now that there's a few people active in the city, there should be new buildings sprouting up in time.

(to note, there is a large building behind the hotel that Chip has been working on, but it's blocked =p)

It is amazing how many projects there are on the server at the moment. small and large communities now in the 1500-6000 range of building.

Some people complain that there are few communities on the server, but if you look, you will see all of the wonderful creations that people have built.

Nice job.

Right now we're working on stockpiling various materials, mainly obsidian.

We're planning to build the London Gherkin as a major project, as well as expand the city with other various buildings. Possibly a McDonalds or KFC in the works at some point too.

Current active builders at the city are myself, Diablothe2nd, xXParanoiia and Chipstik.

To build our Gherkin project, we've gotta dig out a giant hole to the bottom of the world.

Here's our 'before' shot.

We'll post an 'after' post once it's all done. =p

Yeah, Toast Town was a town run by danman524, MoosePoof, and myself on the last map. It was a nice little town.

None so far, although we've had a ninja creeper, and in one of the corners, there seems to be an awfully load groaning noise. =P

So how many picks do you go through?
I stopped my giant pit (29x29) at 20 blocks deep because it used so many of my diamond resources.
Re: Megacity progress shot
, Sun Feb 06 2011, 07:09PM

we've got through nearly 40 diamond picks so far.
Re: Megacity progress shot
, Sun Feb 06 2011, 07:12PM

we're now scratching on diamond resources as we're now 15 layers from the bedrock.
