Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) Category: Wacky and wild Server: Xanadu (M10 Highway towards east from Hermit's Rest) So this is what happens when you want to connect to a road but there is mountain in your way... Smart move of course would have been to either make zigzag road up (but I wanted straight road) or tunnel through (but I had done so much tunneling already). So being not so smart I chose to surface cut my way. Also, this road goes from west to east, but I also incorporated the road going north-south above the mountain into this. A view entering the area from south Entering the area from east Looking towards west from the bridge Few numerical facts: from beginning of the road the highest point in the way was something of 1800-2000 dirt up, not completely sure as I did not record all of process at beginning. Right now from start of ramp to level of colossi and bridges is 1760 dirt height. Water is about 110 lower. (There is marked path of power tile in southeast of area, colossi and bridges are not quite high enough.) Ramp goes up 32 tile length, after that road to east runs further 80 tiles that needed to be surface mined. Parts going north and south are together about 80-90 tiles of serious terraforming. Numbers of tiles may not sound that much, but please remember when going more than 300 slope, means you need to change the tiles next too. And maybe tiles next to them as well, to get the needed slope over distance. Little edit: addition to highlight some of the scope of this as pictures and numbers don't convey it that easily. The 4 colossus and 4 bridges at the top of the area took me something like a week to craft, maybe less. This whole road-thingy...no clue, couple years or so, probably more, difficult to say as I think I started this around 2017, not sure, but took few several month breaks from the game and just finished the last decorations now. Just saying if you try to do similar thing, don't expect to finish it tomorrow - Nestangol (Mayor of Northwind Cove, owner of Hermit's Rest, Maker of West Hammer Lake Canals etc.) Edited July 7, 2021 by Nestangol added couple details 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) Entry Name: Denali ObservatoryCategory: Place of BusinessLocation: Pristine, T11 - Overlooking the Great Southern Desert (path to the summit starts here) Quote The Skykeepers of the Denali Observatory are tasked with observing the motions of the stars, of Sol, and of the moons of Wurm - Valrei, Seris, Jackal, and Haven - to learn more about the world that we call home. Quote We have been faithfully collecting all information available to us regarding the celestial bodies that brighten our skies. Our current exhibit commemorates the Great Jackal Conquest of 1091. Artifacts from the era have been preserved for visitors to examine and enjoy. Quote The Observatory has beds for weary travelers, each one is individually decorated in a way that recalls and honors our celestial neighbors. The Seris Room is shown here (other rooms can be viewed here ) Quote Our Observation Deck allows visitors to use a dioptra (for a small fee) to examine the heavens themselves. Hand-crafted replicas of our celestial neighbors have been placed on display to instruct and educate visitors as they explore the skies. Quote Departing visitors are encouraged to stop by the gift shop to purchase a small token to commemorate their visit. Popular options include a flask of water said to have been recovered from the seas of Jackal, an original replica of a Jackal artifact, or an officially licensed Denali Observatory beer stein. Quote Thank you for visiting our humble observatory - we hope to see you again soon! Edited July 10, 2021 by Sidereal fixed hyperlink 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) Entry Name: Tranquility Base Cozy Ranches and Farms Location: Q24, Deliverance Welcome to Tranquility Base! Named for the site where United States Astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong landed on the Moon and nestled at the southern edge of Serendipity Bay, Tranquility Base is a model of the hobby farm I hope to have someday. It is a work in progress, but I hope you will find it as charming and peaceful as I do. My field is surrounded by flower beds, making almost all of the flower beds Path of Love tiles. The bees and the butterflies like it, too. As do the chickens. (By the way, the place where my rowboat is moored is an EXCELLENT spot for both net and basic rod fishing.) The horses are having an important meeting in front of the pig and quarantine pens. (The mules were too stubborn to attend.) The sheep and donkey paddock and the bull and bison paddock are in the far background. Donkeys are actually good guard animals for sheep. Bison and bulls are hanging out together in their paddock. Cows stay by the kitchen to provide milk. In the background is the barn, which is as close to red as my Natural Substance level and luck with mixing cochineals and water allows. The lighthouse helps boaters avoid obstacles at night. The views from the lighthouse are spectacular too! Edited July 11, 2021 by LadyCygnet 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) Category: Cozy Ranches and Farms Deed: Lorewood, Xanadu H23 At Lorewood, I have scattered the farming fields and livestock spaces to create a more compact and inviting workspace throughout the deed. Here, you see one of the livestock areas where the herd maintenance shed is as well, for hay and supply storage. The HOTA statue keeps the branding irons hot and ready for branding each foal, lamb, and calf. Horses and Bison are separated into breeding stables, and their offspring have fields of enchanted grass to roam while they grow. Cows are kept in the dairy barn for efficient milking and care. Chickens produce eggs daily for Lorewood's kitchens to serve up some amazing breakfasts and wonderful baked goods. The pig pen is behind the kitchens so that the scraps from the day can be put to use to feed them. Mushrooms are farmed in a shady alleyway. And crops are grown near the village kitchens to make a farm to table lifestyle a reality. Edited July 10, 2021 by Seriphina 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) Category: Combat and Defense Deed: Lorewood, Xanadu H23 Xanadu is a peaceful village with lovely neighbors and picturesque views. But no matter where you go in Xanadu, the threat of trolls and other unsavory characters still threaten villages all over the map. To protect the villagers, Lorewood has a great wall that surrounds it's borders and guard towers near the entrances to ensure the safety of travelers and villagers alike. Lorewood's Main Gate The East Gate and Eastern Guard Tower A guard standing watch over villagers maintaining the orchards Probably most impressive is the Harbor Gate where ships enter Lorewood for trade. The high walls protect the small harbor from attack as well as squalls that are common in the area in the summertime. And here is the view from within the massive walls. Even with these defenses and small guard units stationed at each entrance, the village's defenders do sometimes succumb to wounds in battle. For those, the small graveyard is well maintained and often visited to show the continued respect and appreciation of those who gave their lives to defend Lorewood.
