Changes: Spawn Infrastructure Project

Revision as of 12:26, 22 February 2021

General information

Spawn Infrastructure Project (SIP for short) was made by The Grey faction for server-wide cooperation in the spawn region. The project is now most famous for making obsidian highways after PaCo2 lost it's activity. Other then that, SIP builders aim to make spawn more convenient, help new players, and just have fun together around 0,0.

The project started on November the 8th 2020 but only grew significantly in December.

The War on Withers

Started at January 7th because someone kept flooding spawn with a very high amount of withers, hurting the roads and new players. SIP members made 4 events, when americans are europeans (2 different groups) gathered together and exterminated withers with smite swords. Luckily, no one was attacked even during 0.0 overworld/nether missions.

Some people got into the spirit so much that they did a lot of solo work. Honzin, Knouhk and BlackCat112 (now perm banned) all got over 2 stacks nether stars.

Other participants: CluckyCat, Moeana (Virgile), mallty, pvl, tarqshark, MrEmcee, FrontierJustice, D1cka_D1cka, Needle, Phantom and Eclipse.

The War was over at late January. Most of withers were killed, and penguin's new reduced withers per chunk limit was the last nail the coffin.

Obsidian Roads (OR)

Pre-history

The Grey were working on nether highways for some time now, making them out of stone bricks with stairs railing. Highways werent given much attention at the time. One day Jamool joined PaCo2 server and was amazed with sheer size of it. He set a goal for himself to activate the sleeping beast and to bring people to the roads once again.

Not many people actually came from PaCo server, but one of the newcomers turned out to be the key. Player nicknamed D1cka_D1cka build a very complicated afk obsidian farm by himself, and with Jamool's help started generating large quantities of TNT-resistant block. That enabled the idea of OR.

Stage 1 (all to 10k)

Jamool started organizing the building process right after the launch of farm. Willing people were grouped into 4 teams each with it's own captain (responsible to give obsidian), all devided by time zones. Obsidian Roads stage 1 started at January the 16th, aiming to cover all highways to 10k with obsidian over 2 days. It was a huge success, the goal was reached in just 12 hours after the start. Video of the process: [1]

Participants: Jamool, D1cka_D1cka, MFE(Monkey Frog Enthusiasts), MrEmcee, GamingPartridge (OwO), Honzin, Klouhk, therik, Phantom, Eclipce, Atromis, surdigalow, Clucky Cat, Mallty, Frontier

After this stage GamingPartridge (OwO) presented The Grey a map art for highway work.

Accident with GriefyoudotEXE

Sometime between stage 1 and 2 MiningMaster, member of PaCo2 and SIP, decided to grief a base from behalf of The Grey without notifying anyone. It didn't end well.

Stage 2 (+x)

This axis was finished in January the 31th. Builders: Jamool, D1cka_D1cka, BigMike, MFE, Opular, Polybius, Sooshon, Honzin, MrEmcee, rblxnoob, OverallHalf, Phantom

Stage 3 (+z)

This axis was finished in February the 9th. Builders: Jamool, D1cka_D1cka, Honzin, Kokolaj, Opular, Polybius, Needle, OverallHalf, Norlak, surdigalow, Phantom, MrEmcee

Stage 4 (-x)

At this point 120k+ of highways were covered with a road, most people grew tired of the job. The few who remained building were usually working double shifts around 22 hours combined per weekends.

Builders: Jamool, Honzin, Norlak, BigMike, surdigalow, D1cka_D1cka, Klouhk, Froschii.

The road was finished in February the 14th.

Stage 5 (-z)

-Z was the biggest challenge of the OR. Old PaCo highway was done with cobblestone up to 25k (can not be instamined), old highway done by The Grey at y116 was made out of stone and project overall was very low on manpower. Jamool made a decision to start working in advance to have a chance to finish the project before the end of week, as planned.

Creative solution to the problem of old highway: [2]

Few people came to the axis and started spending hours on the road. Honzin was promised the highest SIP rank for 24-hour worth effort and actually did it over several days.

Builders: Jamool, Honzin, Norlak, BigMike, D1cka_D1cka, Atromis (a comeback from stage 1), Mallty, Rayyze, Sam_du_QC, WhoIsHallux.

Refuges

Building shelters for new players is a part of SIP. Sometimes they are not maintained and therefore quickly griefed and abandoned, sometimes members of refuges make them their bases closed for newcomers. Refuges are made to be temporary living area for Purity's youngest players and therefore SIP administration doesnt really inforce any rules conserning them.
