Heya A conversation that happened in game tonight made me think, Do people spend more time in the wild(town and waste) or town I decided to leave it either or for the poll but feel free to post if you want to give a more detailed reply
I've always spent most of my time on EMC in caves in the wastelands. --- I know some people build structures in the wilderness and live in them as their homes, I've never done that but I've considered it on multiple occasions.
I've found myself a balance of both, I used to be exclusively town except when doing jobs years ago, but now I go do my own things in the wild too.
I spend my time in town, where all my stuff is but I multiple mob n boss outposts on wastelands which a I rebuild every waste reset
Wild scary. Town safe. Now when land claiming comes around... I don't have enough reses atm, so I'll probably go out and move to the wild once that's a thing
Wild for me. It has the mobs, the farms, the land, and there's lots of it. Plus, I've been expanding a current base and it's been really fun. Town is too painful for me bc it reminds me of all my residences that got destroyed rip
Wild, I have a lot of memories with friends, and just in general from it. I also spend most of my time doing random fun projects there as well as repairing every once in a while Something about the fact that you can die also sounds spicy
Town. Tom and I have a virtually infinite amount of space there, (35 (5*4+3*5) reses) which includes our double-res main storage (752+753); our four-res farming block (1070,1069,963,964); a spawn res that still needs work (202); two "whatever, junk" reses (859 & 5332); an old mall build (966); an ice racing residence (5333) and a lot of empty ones for which we don't even have a plan jet. We buy most materials needed for projects, and have so much items we have bought to later sell again that a lot of in-game time is just spent on item management. (this is why 859 exists.) I guess most of my time doing stuff for EMC is actually spent in creative survival, designing stuff. Both redstone and aestethics can take a lot of time. We do actually have an outpost, Tom and I. We are planning to make some mobfarms there, and we have alredey made most of the infrastructure needed to deal with a large amount of item-outflow, and to deal with the amount of stuff needed to actually build and maintain these farms. This makes that we have, as of late, spent a bit more time in the wild, but still most time is spent doing stuff in town.
I like the wild; you don't know what you'll find, so it's more exciting to me. It also makes building quite a bit more fun since whatever you're making is surrounded by actual terrain.
I spend about the same amount of time in the Wild, Waste, End, Town. Less in the nether, but that will change in the next update.
It depends on what I want to work on really. I will spend some time in town working on my tree farm. Other times I'll be in the wild working on my outposts. Or out mining in the wastes.
Wild essentially. I have three outposts, one in a mooshroom environment, one in a mesa, and one in the End. As has been said, I like the (controlable) danger and general unpredictability inherent to the wild, the randomness in terrain features that creates opportunities to adapt and react. To me, it's a seed for applied creativity, and an aesthetical plus. And a cornucopia of subprojects, too. I have a group of reses on smp9 with an ongoing creative project (a medieval japanese-style monastery), that I turn back to when I'm fed up of being in the Wild. With a big sitting buddha ! I also spend time here and there helping friends when grinding is needed, I don't mind digging for hours on end sometimes...
I spend about half my time in each, but truly do prefer building in the wilds for both the ample space, and as rhy said its so nice to build in the natural terrain. I mostly avoided that early on though, before we had the block protection
My time probably 50/50.. (SMP1) 100% out in the /wild end because my End base is there. (SMP2) 75% in Town.. Almost all my plots are here on 2. (SMP3) ?% idk because I do have some wild homes on here but i'm never really on 3 (SMP4) Same as smp3... Look above for answer (SMP5) Wild because Alt has a wild Jungle base (SMP6) Never heard of server before... lol, jk.. Only when the wind blows me in. (SMP7) My first base my first taste of freedom. Mostly Wild unless I come to town for supplies. (SMP8) Wild because of the stuff and the things we do and don't do. Marriage anyone? (SMP9) I usually hop past this server to get to the next one that we can fly in. (UTOPIA) Town for the flying, waste for mining and wild for the Daylight and no fall damage.. So yeah, probably 50/50
