Fully self contained fortress that is primarily designed to be functional for survival servers. Facilities that are being built or are fully built include:

  • Functional security system to protect entrance
  • Water gate controls to operate defensive and decorative water gates
  • Self-Harvesting Wheat Farm
  • Enchanting stages by ever 6 levels
  • Nether Portal
  • Cobblestone Generator (small and large scale)
  • Self-Harvesting Sugarcane Farm
  • 2 types of tree farms
  • Melon farm.

NOTE: The wheat farm is not done, and only the upper half the sugarcane farm is completed.

Also currently rethinking the name as it sounds generic and boring.

PLEASE NOTE: The download that is available, is a snapshot from today June 5th. More work may have been done since then, and this project is NOT complete yet.

Lastly NOTE: Comments, Questions, and constructive criticism welcome.

Update #6 : by whitepalidin 06/05/2012 6:59:32 amJune 5, 2012 @ 10:59 am UTC

Finished adding and wiring in blast doors to the internal front entrance (just past the traps). It's designed as a last defense, JIC a zombie can survive the arrows. The doors have have their wiring installed into the control room. As it uses blocks rather than doors; it should offer better protection to a zombie mishap.

Built the upper half of the sugarcane farm. Lower half needs to be done. Also need to build the upper and lower wheat farms to complete the core assembly.

Next, some blocks on midline towers moved/removed/added to correct asthetics.

Lastly, some general cleanup done, chests emptied, most of the items removed from the main fortress so it can be exported by players to make a starting area. (these are done in prep for an export. WIP download available shortly, keep in mind, it's not complete, but constructive criticism and feedback is always welcome

Looks great! I'm always a fan of big fortresses. Only thing I could say is to add some things to the walls, like flags, support arches, etc, to break up the monotony of gigantic flat walls.

Thanks for the comment. It's a long way off from complete. Only the
lower half the skeleton is completed right now. Decorating won't start
until I'm done with the frame.

I understand that completely. :D Just making a suggestion. Is this on a server? Or just building in a test world to import somewhere later?
