Nothing has been pasted in that area, and the nearby city was only pasted to ~10 below the surface.
Chances are good that somebody visited it once before and abandoned it. I know TPoit/IJak wandered around a lot out there in the early days of this world. Owen too when he joined up. Could have been either of them. The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts. The only way to guarantee thoughtful, informative discussion is to write thoughtful, informative posts.

The Trail of Towers is now well under way. Thanks to Grey's "it'll only take 15 minutes" suggestion, I helped him level the entire area and re-plot the lots. Grey and BB immediately started building, so the Trail is down to one lot remaining.
Remember, once finished, we will have a naming contest where players offer up naming suggestions for each of the towers other than their own. We will then vote for the best name based on those suggestions. One lot left. Better stake your claim. But, if it proves popular enough, perhaps we can find another location? - AppleNova is the best Mac-users forum on the internet. We are smart, educated, capable, and helpful.

We need a 50 x 50 space for a tall "trophy case" for Jess' dragon egg. The structure will be close to 100 tall, with an exact base of 50 x 50. We will need a little extra room around the edges (perhaps 10 blocks) and would like to build close to town. We have several spots in mind, but don't want to step on any toes.
A couple players in-game know what Jess is going to build, so they understand how big it will be. It will not be an "eyesore", this I can guarantee. We want to get started on construction soon, but will wait until something like a quorum has weighed in. - AppleNova is the best Mac-users forum on the internet.

Given that I'm one of the players that knows what she's going for, I'd suggest the spot near Robo's lighthouse. The Crossroads there could make it interesting and fun if it's centered. EDIT: No, I just measured, and it will not fit there.
One spot you haven't put on the map, but I think might be equally keen, is the hill near Brad's TriForce (lower-center right on the pic you posted). EDIT2: Nope, not there either. Behind the MoneyBin would be my second choice of all the marked spots, because tall and downtown. EDIT3: OK, it might fit at the crossroads depending on what "10 blocks" means. 10 blocks on each side so it's 70x70? Tall blocks? As long as it doesn't obstruct Robo's lighthouse, I'll again make that my first choice. Or wait. The spot right next to Bryson's theatre? Maybe? That's a great spot. I'd love for stuff to start creeping over there. (no pun intended) I'll even go over there and level things out with Ken. It'll only take 15 minutes. So it goes.

Grey, I'll help you level anything that needs leveling, even if it *does* take 15 minutes!
I like the crossroads by the lighthouse, but I do think Jess' project will kind of conceal it from at least one view. You know the project, so you have a pretty good idea. The spot behind the bin is good, too, especially considering it's proximity to the Arc de Trimelon. The crossroads, though, yeah. But! The design has a base 50 x 50, and the roads are 5 wide. Odd does NOT center with even, so ... Might have to modify the roads a bit right there. They would have to be either 4 or 6 wide. The spot immediately east of the bin is also a good one, but lots of tera-forming needed. Hey, it'll only take … oh, never mind. Crossroads is choice #1 for us. - AppleNova is the best Mac-users forum on the internet. We are smart, educated, capable, and helpful.

After a lot of wandering about and investigating, we determined that the crossroads is too close to the lighthouse.
Some of the guys thought the better location would be the yellow circle. There was some discussion that the mob trap there was ineffective and should come down. The spot is ideal for Jess' project. - AppleNova is the best Mac-users forum on the internet. We are smart, educated, capable, and helpful.

Agreed. Since we have the Massive Mob Trap™ now, the others are a bit of overlap. If it wasn't above ground I'd say leave it, but as it stands it's just taking up space. I'll be tearing my old Skellie/Spider trap entrance up as well, since we now have both loot and XP gathering at much better levels than my small trap could ever do. It'll still be functional for a quick-fix if anyone needs it, but the road and the entrance I think are better used to make a path out to arteggio's castle. That's a highly under-appreciated build, imo.
So it goes. |

I haven't been on at all this past week, but what you guys (ks and 709) are planning looks totally reasonable to me! Owen's long-abandoned incomplete projects, as anyone else's, should qualify for eminent domain repurposing. Plus, as you said, we have a much better set of mob traps for acquiring loot and XP.
I'm not sure if Owen uses that old house by the yellow circle. InvaderJak/ThunderPoit built that as a starter house for him long ago, but nowadays Owen seems to spend most of his time around the desert Reese complex.

The small island is prime for an interesting build. If I didn't have so much on my plate I'd snag it myself. Speaking of... I know! Honestly, I'm a tad worried. So it goes. |

The build will be ~40-50 blocks above sea level, so there's still opportunity to build paths/bridges/whatever underneath – they'll just need to be well lit. Also, all of it should be above water. I don't want to hit the land anywhere with a constant shadow, but E/W might be a little tight. So it goes. |

Gah.
Gojira isn't even the largest. In fact, he's the fourth largest. Thankfully the second and third of those are symmetrical. Those I should be able to whip out pretty quickly once I have my plans designed. The big-daddy though… eep. So it goes. |

The tunnel out to Whammerstein is kind of under that new outline (maybe just a bit south), but I have zero problem with overbuild. In fact, you're more than welcome to tap into the tunnel for path/observation platform or what ever.

Yeah. The tunnel is right about where the bottom of the blue box is. By the time it gets out that far it'll only be feet, but there still may be some suicidal mobs floating around that spawned up top.
After all these are built I may want to build a rail that kind've gives a tour. I have my viewing distance set at "Far" and if I'm at Gojira's feet I can't even see the end of his tail. There'll be no way to see everyone unless I make a walking path or a rail. Or maybe I just leave it and let people discover them on their own. Coming across Kumonga at dusk would scare the ever-loving shit out of me. Maybe that's the way to go. So it goes. |

Just so you know, 709, I noticed that some item frames are missing from the Egg again...

The outside is largely complete! The inside... almost there. I just did a walkthrough and surveyed the current status. Here's a list of the completed areas/rooms. Spoiler alert! Spoiler (click to toggle):
The labs and workshops aren't particularly interesting... just "office" room filler, basically. Also, there should be like a hundred crew quarters, but I'm not making them all.
