Easy location to remember!
x = -300 z = -200 Constructions in the new town should be magic-free. We used condensors to create a huge stash of stone, wood, torches, and glass to start with, and there's a graveyard lot full of chests that you are free to use to build your new house. Beyond that, no collectors, transmutation, magic devices, rings, etc! Leave behind any of your exotic materials and tools, too. This town should be a "fresh start" of sorts. Once you've settled, feel free to start building up your industrial crafts or microblocks or coffee farms. Pick one of the 16x16 lots (within the cobble markers; each lot should have a 1-block gap before the streets), and build your house using stone, wood, and glass. We're trying to go for a generally uniform-ish scheme here. But inside your house? Use whatever materials you like. Below your house, it's all yours. You own the mineral rights to your land, and digging down is probably the best way to load up on resources. Here's a quick overview of the area so far. gerlocian, RS, Spec, and I have settled in already. More are welcome! The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

Fortunately, yes, we've decided to stay in the same world but move northward. I think I might be able to reset the spawn point closer to our new town (which still needs a name).

I think the new town is shaping up quite nicely!
gerlocian and I have a couple of projects in mind that we're going to try over the weekend. For one, we may start laying some cable under the streets for the power grid and drop boxes on the corner of each lot so people can tap into the main grid if interested.

We have a pier and dock west of town now, and we have mysterious overseas traders who occasionally drop goodies into the chests in the dock house. You are free and encouraged to take the goodies that we receive there.

Great! There are still a few 16x16 lots in the middle of the neighborhood and on the eastern side. I can mark up a few more lots to the east if you like. I think it's nice that at least in the center of town we're not all packed in together. Open space is nice, plus we need room for whenever sonic and Captain Drew join us.

RS and I were talking in game about giving up our basements for a power station or whatever the community source was going to be. I will speak for myself for sure, you can have my basement below the last floor down... if you put a floor in though you will have to watch for slimes. Lots of slimes. Lots and lots of slimes. RS can post here if he wants just so you hear from him on this.

Whatever works for you guys. The problem with my space is the insane number of slimes. I can't really have floors like that in there because of them. Sad really, I was going to put cattle and such in there. Oh well, now it's for me to share really.

I built my first wheel in tekkit!
Add stone to the top left one and fill the chest with glass. Sure it's overkill, but I'm learning the basics. Why do the engines have to be turned off every now and then? Seems like I should be able to leave them running. I'm guessing they are running "dry" too long waiting on the macerators to finish. Am I right? What should I build to automate next?

Giant rubber trees and you! So some have figured out there are now giant rubber trees at the eastern side of the town. I though those were the rubber trees I was supposed to have and planted them. Wondered why bonemeal did nothing for them like RS told me to do.
Anyway, We are trying to let at least one "majestic" looking one stay. So once one grows that isn't intermingled with another tree, how about letting it live untouched. I also put a chest there by the trees so we can fill it. Currently I have almost a full chest of rubber. I figure I'll run a load or two to the dock for easy access by any who need it.

Technopolis it is! Has a nice ring. I like it.
Also, thread split! I figured the new town should have a thread of its own to make it clear what's going on for anyone who has been away for a while. Drew.
