The Region of Valliana
Server: Nameless

I've found a nice spot to start work, and I'm currently in the process of earmarking the land. My plans are to build an oriental (possibly) style region, complete with dojo, gates, houses, etc. I'll be posting and updating this thread with WIP and status images and descriptions.

Overview
I've yet to lay down any specific plans, but I have broken the region down like so:
[Only admins are allowed to see this image]

Temple Area - The main feature that will tower over the rest.
Town Area - Housing and urban sprawl - the valley in that area will sport a dojo.
Tea Gardens - Few buildings. A tea room, a few fancy houses. Focus on natural seclusion.
Icy Reach - Not sure if I will develop this area, but it is earmarked for a Tibetan Monastery

To begin with I'll be working on the Temple Area.

There will be a minecart station, connection to the main road to the west and north, and I'm open to ideas and involvement as long as they fit the oriental motif.

On further analysis of the land, I may be looking at another area.

If you'll be needing any help terraforming some land I can help you out with it, im fairly good at shifting mountains and rebuilding them where needed =P

I'm telling you mate. You have some weird hobbies in MC.
Useful though

At the edge of the known world I found a section jutting out that looked suitable. I've made the journey, and I have decided on this area. I've updated the first post.

I'll still be making a long road north along with a minecart. A Nether portal will also be put up.

I'll let you know if I need any shifting done.

Nice new location! =)
Ill come have a stop by soon

I liked the other project more

This area will look nice with the river going right through it

What are the coordinates of this area?

The project is the same in essence. It will still be broken down, I just have a more workable shape and terrain rotation to work with. I'll post more about my plans tomorrow.

oh your southeast of my estate.

Cobblestone Factory
As ever, I'm going to need a large amount of cobblestone to turn into smoothstone, and then to bricks. Thanks to the large amount of redstone I found during my travels I was able to start right up.

The factory produces a large amount of cobblestone, and it can be upgraded and expanded to produce more, and faster too.

Raven I Love the oriental Idea and if you would like some help Let me know. I am kinda looking for a new direction to go and this sounds like something I could really get into if you would like assistance please let me know.

I'm currently designing the walls and buildings, not to mention the ground layout. I'm open to ideas, and once I have some ground plans down, I'll see where it can fit in.

Dont trust Iron. He is a hard worker and great to work with, he must be hiding something!

I'll be interested to see how this progresses! Nice Cobblestone generator!

As the nights seem longer than the days, and mining cobble is only so much fun with skeletons and zombies trying to help out, a security fence has been added.

For speed, a second generator has been added. It takes just under two minutes and thirty seconds to refill the workfloor.

Awesome, you are a really fast builder! Can't wait to see more progress

Wow, you don't hang about do you!

With the DynMap offline, planning has taken a bit of a slowdown (overhead GPS is very handy for planning).

I have re-shaped the entire plateau for the temple, building up the cliff walls and filling in the gaps. The actual cliff faces need sculpting, but they are there.

The plans include a bridge across the river to reach the plateau, the main temple, and the surrounding gardens.

I've manually created a map of the plateau, and I'm starting to plan the temple interior.

With the plateau complete, I upgraded my dirt shack into a nicer igloo.

Basic temple plans in place, I measure the width and length of the plateau to find the best center spot. A simple 10 block ruler is all I need for that.

The center determined, I can lay out some basic ground patterns.

The basic grid of the temple is laid down and adjusted.

It's looking grate so far, keep up a good work!

Very nice terraforming!
