[Closed] Universal capital city

Some buildings inside the mountains are almost a must in my opinion.
I personally would love to see an arena/Colosseum inside one mountain that takes up almost the whole diameter of it so you can enter from any side.

That does sound interesting! It’s certain to be labor intensive, but I’ve seen the community come together to literally move mountains before.

We´ll let´s hope the devs implement TNT soon

Havok40k · August 8, 2015, 1:19am

soon? we don’t even know that they’ve started!

Could also set up mountain biomes with massive caves

Nyuudles · August 8, 2015, 2:15am

Just wondering since I never used world builder. Is it possible to make a mountain completely hollow?

G-Sage · August 8, 2015, 2:26am

No,I’ve seen someone try. It didn’t work,but it was a little while ago,so be my guess. The idea other a arena sound very interesting. What would you do in the arena? And one more thing,these ideas all seem to be on the same mountain. I think there’ll have to be more than one mountain for this to work. Another suggestion is that we have the mountains in the sky,with bridges connecting them together. I know it’s a lot of work,but if we want this city to be what we think it’s going to be, it will be worth the time and effort.

Here is a shot of a mountain.

And these could be the caves?
They’re more like tunnels i guess?

KKBell · August 8, 2015, 3:02am

Also i clamped the mountains so they should all fit in the world height. The picture i just posted is the average, but some get about 15 block from the top.

G-Sage · August 8, 2015, 3:04am

Can you make the tunnels any wider?

KKBell · August 8, 2015, 3:12am

Probably? I’m just throwing this stuff out so we can get ideas from the community. With the mountains so big i fear we may lose some of the other biomes.

G-Sage · August 8, 2015, 3:25am

I see,they look a lot smaller on a world builder. How wide are the mountains?
If you make them just a bit slimmer,then maybe the tunnels can be bigger. And one more thing,do the tunnels run under ground?

KKBell · August 8, 2015, 3:48am

Not sure if the builder translates block to block in real game, but I think the caves are about 10 blocks wide and are running below ground. That mountain 100 blocks tall?

G-Sage · August 8, 2015, 4:15am

I see,make the tunnels to 12 wide. Then message @Havok40k and ask if the city is going to be partly in the mountain. If so, make the inner most top of the mountain as hollow as you can. While still leaving a couple of blocks between the surface and the hollowness. Please,sorry to be so bossy,but I think this could work in everyone’s favor,at lease from what I read in the thread.

It’d be pretty neat to see a thriving metropolis built on, in, around an interesting mountain. Highly defensible too, I’d wager

Havok40k · August 8, 2015, 4:55am

We’ll be plotting out the city once we have the world live and can physically look at it. Till then, there is no concrete plan.

DuskWolf · August 8, 2015, 5:04am

Is there a limit to how big the world can be?

Havok40k · August 8, 2015, 5:07am

Yes, though im not sure where the limit is. Also the world will be wrapped, I think.

KKBell · August 8, 2015, 5:08am

I don’t think this is the final world? And I think the Devs might be the best to do the caves.

G-Sage · August 8, 2015, 5:40am

I know,it’s just that we have to plan ahead. If we decide on a arena,then there’d have to be big space under the city. The big space will make it easier for terra forming and building. And the tunnels for a way up to the city. But these are just ideas,I just think if we can form the land we going to build on,why not plan a little out line of the city,it will make building so much easier. You know what I mean?
