[[PvE] I've had a vision and I can't shake it: the MegaCity]

From what I have been gathering there is a thought of combining argoth with seneca, endor, shady oaks to do some sort of layered city so the two may turn out not to be mutually exclusive.

There are some big downsides to this though.  We'd need a LOT of land.  What if one district ran out of space against a mountain?  What if we started encountering other small builds as we expanded out?  And of course there's the inevitable drama that comes with land disputes -- the districts would have to work at being good neighbours.  Whatever the hurdles, I think it would be a worthwhile experiment.  And it's going to happen at some level anyway, with Seneca, Shady Oaks, and possibly Endor and Argoth joining forces.  Of course the point of some towns is the idyllic small town setting, so I wouldn't expect everyone to join.

 

I'd love to hear everyone's reaction, including staff, who would have to deal with any BS generated by this.

 

 

Building up before out can be used to save space.

 

copied from the reddits:

 

I want a 3D city of some sort. Like huge multipurpose skyscrapers with lots of walkways between them. We could start by building buildings with 1-4 'plots' on each floor (10-20 vertical blocks a floor) that people can use to make apartments, landing pads, farms, or what not.

 

So the way I see it, the first step would be to come up with a basic material theme for each tower. This can be done on creative or a planning server.

When the rev starts we would make 'plots' - Basically just build the skeleton of the tower with some stairs/water elevator in the center - this wouldn't be all that much different than terraforming out plots.

 

Not sure if there would be 'rules' about what is built on the plots, but ideally builds would use all their y axis and use materials that look reasonable with the frame materials (stone or sandstone most likely at first - netherbrick and wool later)

 

Whenever we need more plots we could just add a layer to an existing tower or build on bridges between towers.

 

As far as infrastructure goes, there would be pretty intricate mass transit system - imagine going from the spleef stadium on say building 4 floor 7, to the farms in building 1 basement.
