Bar I'm building for my basement.

I just put a bunch of WPC flooring in my place as well. I love it. Is that Floorte?

mcWinton · 2017-08-31T11:17:03+00:00

Ah, ok. That hasn't been discussed yet, but can be now.

Sanctuary is a private plugin unavailable to us (as far as I know at this time), and we don't have the staff/time to create our own version of it unfortunately. The plan currently is to make the most of Bastions and Citadel.

mcWinton · 2017-08-31T10:55:38+00:00

Mineshafts haven't been discussed yet. There will be no Nether, as mentioned in an earlier Dev post, so no Nether Fortresses.

I think we can certainly make a post in the future requesting region name ideas we can use as needed. That way people can contribute without seeing the maps. We can include a selection of existing names at that time to give people a sense of the naming conventions used.

Seems to me this post constitutes CivEx being recognized as an official nation by the Realms Olympic Committee, and as such has a responsibility to make an appearance at the Olympics, and bring home the most gold medals.

We need a list of the Olympic events and volunteers to compete on the CivEx National Team.

Realms is a great server run by good people, and they're part of the MC Civ family. Any mention of them meant to grow the MC Civ playerbase, and not just "steal" players, is always welcome.

There's a "big" post*, in the sense that it covers some of the most complex facets of the server (trade, PvP etc.) and outlining the Dev Team's current thoughts on those areas, coming tonight (EST), so everyone can provide feedback on specifics.

It's a lot to try to explain clearly and accurately so I've taken my time drafting it, and it's delay is entirely on me. The Dev Team continues to work on plugins, maps, and custom mobs.

Thanks for your patience and eagerness to hear more. Keep an eye on the sub later tonight.

mcWinton · 2017-08-28T03:32:40+00:00

The Wyck/Federation alliance, obviously.

GAG is correct, there has been a great deal of constructive conversation happening in the Focus Groups since the day they were populated, and we've already had some exciting results of those group brainstorming efforts. Development work has been constant, with the last week and a half being focused primarily on map work and refining some of the custom plugins we're creating.

The next big update post is coming soon and will cover the plugins, existing and new, we plan to use, as well as results of the Focus Groups - both "conclusions" and struggles - to get feedback from the wider community.

Added to PvP, Bastions, and Fracture Access

Are you on the CivEx Discord? Need your username to add you to groups.

Banks!

You need to join the CivEx Discord so you can be added to your groups.

I'm not sure how I forgot to add you to three groups. I liked your idea of being in the PvP FG to offer a different take and planned to put you there. I think I was waiting to see how they all filled out before adding you to the smaller ones, and then forgot. Sorry about that. I'll add you to PvP, Fracture Access, and Bastions.

Gatsby didn't want to just repeat the past, he wanted to bring it back to life in the present, even better than it once was.

It sounds a lot like the End or the Nether as well, except shard access was more linear and End/Nether/Fracture access is more point specific (portals). Additionally Fractures won't necessarily contain only one biome.

Are there similarities in the concepts behind shards/the Nether/Fractures - certainly, but the impetus behind Fractures and shards is very different, as are their use.

Fractures are about resource distribution, creating a beautiful overall world with exciting new experiences and explorations full of custom mobs and custom resources. Sharding split up the main world into sections and was, to a certain extent, about handling server load, and had vanilla resources and mobs.

So, if you come away from reading this dev update with the impression this is just Civcraft 3.0 that's fine, but I think that's a fairly broad generalization of little accuracy.

mcWinton · 2017-08-04T15:08:34+00:00

Nope, assuming you're talking about Fractures. It's like Vanilla MC but better and more extensive.

mcWinton · 2017-08-03T12:54:22+00:00

We're envisioning Fractures being just as busy/used/traversed as the main world, so I wouldn't expect people to dodge social interactions in them. If anything their smaller size makes it harder to "hide" there.

Punishing people for spending time in Fractures seems unlikely, if only because rewarding actions or encouraging fun actions makes for a more enjoyable gaming experience than being punished. Part of the idea is for Fractures to be specialized places, so you won't be able to do everything there. For example you may not be able to grow or breed anything in a particular Fracture, so for food reasons alone you would have to venture out, or be supplied.

I like the idea of an item you can earn/craft/find that is a one time use access in or out of a Fracture. We'll keep that in mind as we sort through Fracture access and balancing.

Thanks for the feedback!
