We started up a new modded world not too long ago and right now we’re really trying to get our main community hub town off the ground. The whole thing uses an economy mod setup, and the goal is to have it completely driven by the players.

If you check out the screenshots, it’s pretty bare-bones at the moment, but that’s kind of the point. We want people to actually shape how the town evolves. If you like designing and building stuff, the town fund will literally buy your structures from you and permanently add them to the city layout. Give it a month or so and this place is gonna look totally different.

Right in the center, we're setting up an NPC Trader Square so you have a single hotspot for essential merchants, plus plenty of space for custom player-run shops. To make things easy, I set up teleporters that link your personal base straight to the town entryways. We only have a few central plots left for this current wave of buildings, so if you want to be right next to the markets, it's definitely a good time to grab a spot before the next teleporter locations get pushed further out.

Oh, we also just opened a functional casino in town. There are 4 different machines running right now with different buy-in tiers, and I’ll be manually cycling through the odds and prize pools every single week to keep it fresh.

Aside from the town project, the actual server settings are tweaked specifically for people who have busy lives, jobs, or just can't camp the game 24/7. There is nothing worse than having a busy week offline, logging back in, and finding out your entire winter food supply rotted away. We have custom settings that freeze/protect your food storage while you're logged off so you don't get punished for having a life.

For the wilderness, you get a standard 10x10x10 safe claim zone to protect your main base and valuables. Outside of that, there's a light PvP element just to keep the world feeling a bit risky and alive, but your corpses are fully protected so a fluke death won't cost you your hard-earned gear.

We've actually got a big maintenance update dropping this coming Tuesday. We’re officially adding a physical coinage system for the economy, adding pipes, and letting you grow your own weed/pipes. Down the line, I'm also working on custom, weekly-resetting dungeons for high-tier loot runs.

If you're looking for a tight community, want to set up a shop, or just want to waste some coins at the casino, come check us out.
