This thread is intended for discussion pertaining to the construction of the capital city. To keep it simple, we will focus on this just one phase at a time. Please refrain from skipping ahead to other tasks, as this may result in us having to undo your work, and we don’t want that!

First order of business, deforestation. Teleport to spawn, let’s clear all trees for a 250m radius. Don’t forget to clean up the leaves as well!

Can we mark the edges I would hate to lose more beautiful trees than we have too.

Mark away, but I’m not worried about going too far- farms may go out that way.

Not sure in which capital city thread i should ask this so I´m asking here:
Does somebody have a teamspeak server?
Mostly to have a chat while while we remove the forest but it could also come quite handy for organization later on.

How about we use this?

It works… but i think he means voice chat.

Something that people could do if they are not really into, deforesting or building, is Mo’pig hunters. A lot a spawning and it is kind unnerving when you are counting blocks to all of a sudden get nailed in the back.

I’m able to host a TS server, but I run on a laptop and it may die in the middle of running the server (only if I forget to charge it). Just give me the word and I can set it up.
Edit: I’m on the server rn clearing trees, and I’m realizing that leaves are going to be the biggest pain. Consider yourselves warned 
I would like to help! i have been out of the loop lately but really would like to be a part of the city. What server is it on? is it at the capital?

Yup, it’s on Kovah (new world), and being built right at the capital

Ok guys, this is our first reality check for this project. The original concept had us clearing the forest and placing the city between the mountain and the desert. It was a glorious plan, full of ambition. The reality is, we’re not playing minecrap. These trees are much larger than 7-10 blocks high with maybe 20 leaf blocks each. I just cleared a SINGLE tree that yielded 40 logs and nearly 300 leaves. It took about 15 minutes. There are over 1000 trees in the radius we want to clear…
So, assuming we want to begin building some time this week rather than late next year, I think we need to change our plans. We have two, options.
- Simply build the city in the desert, more than 100 meters away from the spawn point, and build a road to it.
- Regenerate the world so that the spawn point is in the middle of a desert, and begin building right away.
Unless the devs have some magical way of wiping large areas of trees with just a command, which I doubt is the case. (Please, tell me I’m wrong, @james!)

Honestly I think It’s doable, granted it’s going to take maybe a week to clear it but we just need to get everybody to get in there and tear down those trees! We should start with one section then expand towards the rest rather than just trying to tear down random trees making it seem likes there’s no progress in the grand scheme of things. That being said, we need some sort of team speak to organize it. I am able to host a server, but only as a last resort. (it’s not going to be the best server) We can even do Skype, so TS and Skype r 2 options that I know of. All in all, @Havok40k, lets not give up on our dreams!!! 
Edit: But if there is a way to regen the world so that there aren’t trees in that diameter then that’ll be better!

I may be able to pull of a deforested version of the jungle biome just for the center of the map (if image noise works the way I think it will w/ biome distributions). I’ll give that a try when I get home tonight
