North: Snowheim

[Calum841 33]

I agree that 3&7 and 4&6 should be the same roads. I also like the idea of having the library inside the hill.

[Bigtycoflex 26]

Like the ideas can't wait to start

[Miyham 5]

I think the library should have a glass dome that lets natural light in and shines on the middle of the library which can have a small grassy area with flowers, like a realy small meadow. That's my idea and I like everything else.

We should also add a public build warehouse to the list. The sooner we have one the sooner builds like a library will be much easier. I don't know if the Hub will double as something like that. I guessed not though as there wouldn't be much space for . . . Hub stuff.

Hi all

I like what has been done to start with on the library. I like the dome and the little seating area outside. Personally though I thought we would be going more with what Caulum posted with maybe even a few more levels.

I would keep what has been made because it looks like a rather nice little bookshop that is attached to the library. However what we could do is take one of the paths off the dome and create a multi-level (3ish floors) open library with bookshelves a small seating area and even a little coffee shop (Snowbucks just open eveywhere)

On the note of a warehouse I ment to add that to the list of things to build. I was thinking this could go off to the west of the hub.

My final thing i would like to just say is that im not 100% sold on the design for the walls in the hub. I just think that the design needs to be able to fit around the doors a bit better

---MadRAD---

PS. anyone have ideas for street names?

[Calum841 33]

I'm with you on the hub walls. The design doesn't end in the same place at the door. It needs to be a design that restarts after a different number of blocks. I think this one is every four blocks?

As for street names: Snowdrift and Conifer are the only two I've thought of.

[Flobby18 2]

How about naming the streets after precious metals or gems such as Silver St, Quartz Rd, or Olivine cresent as the town has a certain miners feel about it.

[Miyham 5]

Street names: snow shoe, christmass lane, snow golum blv. Pine street, cobble rd. chilly street... Not creative but names none the
less.

[sharedmedia=core:attachments:424]

3(&7). Treacle Mine Road
4(&6).
5. Mads Close
8.
9.
10.

Animal Crossing
Modley Close
Snowdrift
Conifer
Silver Street
Quartz Road
Olivine Cresent
Snow Shoe
Christmas Lane
Snow Golum Boulivard
Pine Street
Cobble Road
Chilly Street

On a side note... the roof/ceiling of the overhead walkways needs finishing... if you come outside of the welcome and walk down the walkway, if you look up you'll notice there's upside down stairs on the sides, well I never finished this, it can be tricky in some areas but it would be nice if anyone can do this to the rest of the walkways

[madrad 362]

to add to that it would be good if it could be extended from outside dales to the entrance to the library

[Miyham 5]

8 should obviously be animal crossing.

Ahhh forget this, what I did must have got lost in a server crash or something as it's not like it was anymore!

Can someone do the above please and forget the stairs underside as I said.

[Miyham 5]

I can extend it if it's not already done

:Miyham

[VictoriaPorter 278]

looks like the cobble tree is broken. i'd fix but dont know how.

[Miyham 5]

The magical cobble tree, Noooo!!! It's magic fades as the days go on. Someone must save it!

[Calum841 33]

Are we going to finish the library and extend off of one of the paths? Or maybe start a public build warehouse.

[madrad 362]

Hi all

I ment to post yesterday but I got a little distracted...

[u]Snowheim updates[/u]

1. The cactus farm is now automated
2. All the streets are now named

[u]Snowheim projects[/u]

1. Extending the current farms to allow for more crops
2. The creation of the Snowheim Warehouse - This I am thinking can be built to one side of the underpath headding to the farms. The question we will need to think of before starting is how it will be organising. Personally I am thinking of multiple levels with the top level acting as the Snowheim equivalent of the community room with some community gathered resources. And then multiple levels nicely organised below for public builds.
3. The library - For this I was personally thinking of Calums design with multiple levels. I thought we could leave the current one as is and as you may have seen i have been looking at sizes for the area to cut out of the mountain. I was thinking that if we cut out this area, we can then have a 2 - 3 level design with a nice and open plan area filled with book shelves as well as some chests for future written books

[u]Challenge/Quest/Request/Suggestion[/u]

With the new update books will become a lot harder to craft. For the libray we will need a large number of books and book shelves. To beat the update, which has a predicted date of 1st August (although we will be waiting to update in YAMS), I propose a challenge to you, the collection of books for Snowheim. I propose that we aim for a first milestone of 10 Double chests full of books. These can be gathered in the Snowheim Farm Hub

---MadRAD---

[Bigtycoflex 26]

Ok all sounds good. I will start making books when I get on.

[Calum841 33]

For the warehouse I like the idea of a community room on top because there are tons of items that can be used in everyday life but are not so useful when reserved for community build projects.

[Kelson 21]

To the reeds!

[darrenstraight 2,330]

Just to confirm is there an area marked out that people can build / dig etc? I found that a good wat of getting people involved is to clearly mark the area with instructions and then go around leaving signs at peoples houses or roads to tell them where to go.

Also Ive noticed a few people trying to find stuff but not sure where it was, there used to be an attraction list but now seems its gone... :S

Could we list where stuff is like the aninal farm? One poor guy was trying to find the animal farm but couldnt. Not everyone has far render distance to see stuff, snowheim can be quite confusing at times.

[Calum841 33]

Almost two chests full of books. Keep it up Snowheim!

I can list directions in the basement of the Welcome Center? Or would we rather people traveling not in our subterranean paths?

Hi all

Its time for yet another edition of 'The Snowheim Messenger'

[u]Snowheim Updates[/u]
- The only major update in Snowheim is the addition of the Snowheim Warehouse. This multi level warehouse, located just outside the underpath entrance to the farms, currently has 2 levels.

The top floor contains the following:[list]
[*]Crafting Area - with public furnaces and crafting tables
[*]Potion/Enchanting Area - with public brewing stands, cauldrons, enchanting tables (to be installed) and a constant water source.
[*]Chests for the Snowheim Community - The chests on this level are supplied on a give a little take a little basis (to Snowheim Residents). These chests will be in 4 catagories: Cobblestone, Food, Tools & [TBD]. Do not abuse this.
[/list]
Each floor underneath will then contain the warehouse for materials that can be used for Snowheim Public Builds. [color=#b22222][b]WARNING[/b][/color]: Anyone found taking from these chests for any other reasons will face consequences.

[u]Snowheim Projects[/u][list=1]
[*]Extending the current farms to allow for more crops - We still need to see if this would be benificial
[*]The Library - An area upstairs has been plotted out to be carved out (single level) to see how big an area we have to work with.
[*]Snowheim Warehouse - This project still has more todo including more floors and we also need to decide on how this should be organised.
[/list]
[u]Challenges[/u]

This time I have a couple challenges (these are open to everyone including non Snowheim Residents)[list=1]
[*]The Book Challenge - This challenge is still going on. Remember that with update 1.3 books become harder to craft, So having a stash in the Snowheim Warehouse will be benificial
[*]The Snowheim Guide Books - Snowheim has a few features around so I am making this new challenge. I am looking for a small write up on each of the things around Snowheim. Each write up must be able to fit on a single minecraft book page with 3 lines taken up by the attraction name, a space and the street it is located on. Remember that pages can be up to 256 characters (letters, numbers, spaces, etc.) per page (Note that line breaks, such as those created by pressing Enter, are counted as two characters). No page may be longer than 13 lines.
[/list]

So how far are we with the above? No replies in the past week! >.<

Rob may be worth leaving signs at laces like the mining portal, farms etc telling people to check forums and also even what needs doing or where to find out what needs doing in game, as I know not everyone checks forums as often as they should and/or some people cant.
