Forget to tell you my MC name, no surprise, neroe23.

And with that you are now whitelisted.

You do realise that's been going on for about a week now...

hehehehe :3

I started seeing the buggers weeks ago.

This... is getting worse.
Gentlemen, I fear we must take drastic action. We must... COLLAPSE THE VOLCANO. *DUN DUN DUUUUN*

Either that or create the world anew.

That has less explosions. Wait at least till the spiders are dealt with.
Unless of course, the new map/server are already done?

This calls for moar explosions!

I intend so BTWXT. I very much intend so.

I always have a few maps I've played with on hold. It just depends on which you gentlemen want to use, and if you want to travel to a distant land in the first place.

I am kinda tired of the current one but would like one with some kind of new thematic elements

I am hereby proposing extremely steep/vertical wall cliffs around an open top center portion.

Maybe 512x512x128, possibly less Z height depending how it feels.

Figure 50-ish tile thick outer walls of the canyon.

Mockup available on request.

Also you could add lava and not have to worry about it

Hmm... that made me think of Utapau, that planet in Star Wars Ep III, with all of the giant sinkholes with cities built into them. That would be pretty cool.

Please.

The current options I have are: (pictures when convenient)
Floating islands (screen, iso is not very helpful) (512x512x128)
Either of the old caves, or ruins map (various)
Believe it or not, the old THORistan map
Huge ocean map I put an iso up for last time we had a map change (1024x1024x64)
Moon map (which I am actually quite fond of now that I think of it)
A ZOMG-generated job (typical results) (256x256x256)
Another, not-by-me-so-therefore-much-better floating islands map (256x256x128)
A hilly terrain (512x512x128)
A steep canyon with river betwixt (512x512x128)
Somewhat built up (by close friends) versions of those last three
Winter wasteland (featured on the test server for a short time)
Several assorted generated maps that are quite funky All are standard size except where noted.

The Pandora-looking floating islands thing looks radicool but would be ruined by most of that this community adds to maps

the moon one looks cool but the craters are a bit exaggerated and lack some defining features of real creaters

hilly terrain, at least from the .iso, looks fun but a bit bland overall. I do like the general aesthetic, tho

mockup (10,000 hours of mspaint)



basic idea: the "top" plateau of the cliffs is roughly the top of the map (minus a few levels for light construction, perhaps.

the roughly circular, lower level in the middle is grass covered and surrounded by sheer cliff walls on all sides. some room at the bottom to dig in, but the majority of the Z is spent in the cliffs.

ALTERNATE DESIGN: picture the same thing, but instead of the circular center, there's a long river running from one diagonal corner to the other (fairly wide river, maybe 6-10 tiles, but shallow [1-3 tiles])

then there's a 5-10 tile padding "beach" area around the river (still grassed dirt, though)

and then the actual cliff face, which is either directly sheer (somewhat aesthetically displeasing) or gets narrower toward the top (one tile horizontal per 12-16 vertical tiles oughta work)

users can burrow into the cliffs to build concealed areas, build within the bottom area, if chosen build on the top of the cliff, and explore a somewhat limited underground below the entire network as well

add geographical features as needed

insert moon as needed

I vote canyon with river or Grif's thing.
