A New Continent Has Been Discovered

[SneakyPie]

The intrepid SS SneakyPie, the famous exploration ship captained by the famed SneakyPie, has returned from its journey into the horizon with news of a newly discovered continent, Fyra.

The SS SneakyPie will be be transporting eager explorers to the new docking station, The Spire. From there, explorers will be able to make the land their own with the use of the rail system which extends to the outer reaches of the Fyra.

If you are the adventurous type, board the SS SneakyPie, north of /groupspawn, and it will begin its voyage to Fyra.

It's so beautiful *cries*

But how do we get on the ship exactly?

[DuplicateValue]

It's not open just yet - hopefully sometime this weekend though.

[vallorn]

i shall gird my loins in readiness for this...

[marurder]

So we can go back and forth between these places and keep the resources and build, no wipes or rollbacks?

Pretty much, I predict fun times to be had by ALL.

BTW Vallorn, LOVE your new Avatar

thanks! *Broohoof?*

Does this new continent feature different distributions of minerals than our current one? Is lapis prevalent, for instance? Moar diamond and gold??

[trainreqx2]

Oh yeah When exactly will fyra open? Me and spy would like to be the first ones to build a mega-structure >:D

[wokka1]

Timing is still unknown.

The world was generated with either 1.3 or 1.4, can't remember, but nothing changed between those two with the algorithm that I know about. So, yes, LL will be prevalent throughout the entire map. The other materials do seem to have larger clusters than the alpha maps did.

[wokka1]

Fyra is open to all players now

[aflycon]

Fyra is open to all players now

Server is still down though?

And also, concerning this:

The other materials do seem to have larger clusters than the alpha maps did.

Spawn rates for all ores as well as flowers and mushrooms were upped significantly with the move to Beta.

[vallorn]

/me WILL HAVE THAT CLAY!

TO FYRA!

[sag185]

I see immense flower/clayfinding potential. TO FYRA

[derigin]

I hope I'm not the only one a bit disheartened that, much like North America in the 16th century, Fyra immediately seems to be visited mainly to exploit its resources. I'm guilty of doing that to places like the Nether, but the mass and sudden acquisition of non-renewable resources by a select few in the normal world was a significant gripe in Version 3.

I might aim to start a settlement soon in Fyra.

Well would you rather a bunch of people got mats spread out or one person get them cause too many don't want to spoil the landscape? if we don't get them, others will. also this will lower teh general prices for things i think :L

[vallorn]

i got 20 pumpkins and 3-4 stacks of Clay Blocks in 1 trip!

after ive finished with that i need to build a mine to get Lapis and Diamonds.

[arogon343]

hmmmm i have started to make the shire from "the lord of the rings" it will take some time and work, anyone willing to lend a hand or live there?

[Iron_Fang]

Lol arogon I will try to help if I can log onto the server and would like mr baggins house (dirt houses ftw). All the materials that are rare will be gone by then probably like clay or pumpkins

[sag185]

A bunch of people need to get together and start making a massive settlement. who agrees? :L

EDIT: i have come to the conclusion most of the clay and pumpkins are now gone from fyra :L

[SneakyPie]

In its conception, Fyra was not meant to be used for farming materials as there's plenty still on the main world.

It was meant to be a new location to explore and build upon as well as a few experiments with design etc.

[vallorn]

but... theres no Clay in Ver3 thanks to a certain SOMEONE! Mydrox im looking at you here.

No, there is.

I have seen quite a bit walking around. It's called exploring.

[vallorn]

yeah i spend a lot of my time in various underground areas (Subways, V88 and Caving) so i dont see much of the Surface World. by the way whats that big glowing thing in the sky? it seems familiar.

Then you're admitting to spreading inane statements that simply aren't true.

Might be in your best interest to stop.

Ye why don't we make shire the first major settlement

[arogon343]

I wouldnt be adverse to making the shire a big settlement, though people will have to accept that there isnt a massive variation of house types considering there all buried in hills, well nearly allways.

[vallorn]

in Fyra i have a house set into a 1 deep frozen pond. (Yes that means my roof is made of Ice!)

this makes me exponentialy happy.

[Zinrius]

It's unfortunate that the SS Sneaky faces AWAY from spawn, I din't notice Cookie Monsters face until I disembarked in Fyra and looked back at it. I lol'd.

Random1 Fact:: SS Sneaky Runs on Chocolate Cookies.
Random2 Fact:: NomNomNomNonNOm is the sound you would hear during Voyage on the SS Sneaky

[JamEngulfer221]

Yay! I tried to get to Fyra yesterday. I had one of my 'friends' with me. He said that he wanted to grief the server. He got annoyed with the nobuild in spawn and left.
