[Est. Outpost] People of Carthaga (PoC)

Could you mail it to ESSELEM so he can bring it to carthaga? He said he was coming out soon.

If its okay with the other members of carthage, I'm going to have the carthaga bar be inside the new apts. This does free up the plot it was planned for, but it might be used for stables or something else for the new apts so it is not free to claim yet.

Day 2 of construction has been pretty productive.

Personally (no offence or anything) I'm not a big fan of that water elevator setup. Its annoying to a degree trying to get the right level and getting down takes a while. Perhaps we can come up with a better option?

I know I am not an official member of Carthaga, but I do read this thread on almost a nightly basis as it is the most active frontier thread to follow. I like the overall concept of your new apartment building, and dropped in to see the progress up close. I must agree with Jinkers comment above that the elevator seems a little difficult to use, and the current way down is a drop to the outside of the building. As these are purely 3rd party suggestions, feel free to take them with a grain or box of salt as needed.

1. I would try to incorporate the way down in the same structure as the way up. Maybe do alternating sides of the elevator shaft to go up so that when you actually get to a floor you know your there, and then make the drop down in the back. This would require some more space, so I would make the hall a bit larger ( The hall feels cramped atm ) to maybe 3 wide with the door centered and then enlarge the elevator shaft accordingly.

2. I think I see how you are trying to section up the apartments with the front half for one apartment, and 2 quarter sized apartments in the back. I must say though that when I entered one of the upper floors where you have not yet completed the wall separation, my wife ( Musical_Beacon ) even commented on how much better it looked open. Thinking the same thing I wondered why not let each level / floor be an apartment, and then let the tenants section off rooms as they see fit. I mean, most apartments need to at least have the basics: Bedroom, Bathroom, Kitchen, and Living Room / Den. I currently don't see all of those amenities fitting in the sectioned off areas. But it does seem to be possible with the whole floor.

3. Ground floor could be used for Manager's Office, Maintenance Room, and / or the Bar as suggested above. Not really sure what you would want to put there, but it just doesn't feel right to me to walk into accommodations at the main entrance. Maybe an internet cafe, some mailboxes for residents to get their mail in the building vs. the post office, a laundry room?

Well, I probably should have gone to bed long ago, but it has been one of those days where it is hard to wind down, and when I read the status of this... I couldn't resist conveying some of the thoughts that came to mind. I hope you guys don't mind me chiming in and offering some feedback.

I really like all the different stuff you guys have going on in Carthaga, and someday I may figure out how to incorporate that water-elevator into my mostly medieval themed outpost. I currently use staircases or ladders, but that looked neat

All of you People of Carthaga have a Great and Blessed Day.

Till next time,

Would it be easier if I clearly labeled each floor? The problem is, its either this, or a spiral staircase and I know many people including myself find those irritating.

I think this is a win/lose spot, if its clear its so clear its all u see if hidden the place looks better I think u might just stick to what u got 4 now . just an opinion

Another thing: a stair case would take up more space and space is something I don't have. If make anything wider at the base, it will run into either the elevated road, or the iron farm.

Couple things:

1. For now the drop elevator is the best solution. I might inclose it later so you are not just jumping out of a building.

2. We need to section off the apartments because we need at least 3 people to be able to live on each floor. The apartments that take up half of the floor are for coal+ members. These apartments are just supposed to have the Minecraft basics: crafting table, chests, furnace, and bed. These things could easily fit into a quarter apartment. I will alternate which side the big apartment is on so anyone can get any view. Maybe on higher floors we can have "penthouses" that take up the entire floor and are full blown apartments.

3.Yes I will probably make the ground floor look like the old apartments ground floor with maybe a directory of players who live in the apartments. I am planning to have the bar be on a higher floor so there is a nice view of Carthaga.

Btw you should join Carthaga as an official member! We love new members!

ESSELEM need to hack one stack of clay blocks.

I do not understand.

So the apartments are going to go to 10 floors for now. I will probably make them taller later on.

I still rather use staircase

hey do u need any help? I was in town for a day or two but I'm good to be a help if u can use me

I need people to get clay by looking in rivers and lakes. Im almost done with the main part of the apartments, and ill finish up when i get back on Sunday but i need clay.

Also, don't forget to try the maze in event park everyone!

u will have clay!

Actually if your are in town, you might want to get clay from the wastelands

I will be heading out to Carthaga tonight, bringing with me 11 stacks of clay including Voxel's contribution. If anyone out there needs anything, just let me know and I'll bring it (ᵔᴥᵔ) Hope to see yall there

Yay! More clay!

Lol, stupid typo made me puzzle to. It need to be.

ESSELEM need to have one stack of clay blocks now.
