THE STATUE HAS BEEN COMPLETED. I'll be posting pics of it after Paul sees it.



For those that don't know, I've been working these past couple months to construct a statue. For the past couple months... any actual construction was stuck in limbo because of the world height limit... so I dug a hole to put my statue in. It wasn't actually a hole so much as it was a spot in the ocean when I found it. In a few weeks time(more like 6-8 weeks), that spot in the ocean was filled with sand and slowly dug up. If this were real life, I'd have moved 265,735 TONNES of sand! If those numbers aren't telling enough... this statue is enormous. The statue  itself will be about 400,000 blocks hollow, if memory serves

The statue project has now entered the construction prep phase! In this phase, the workspace will be polished to a silvery sheen and a special grid scaffold will be built if there are no flight mods available. The construction prep phase is a credited phase like all the others, meaning that major contributions will net you a spot on an... admittedly short helper list. Unlike the excavation phase, there is no 'technique' or 'method' that can expediate the construction in this phase significantly, so getting accredited for major contributions here is pretty easy if you're dedicated.

The construction phase has three sub-phases:
1. Wall and floor building
2. Staging
3. Scaffold construction

Wall and floor building is the subphase where you replace the rocky sides and floor of the workspace with nicer material. I'm still mulling over what exactly I want the floors and walls to be.

The staging phase is a short phase that I have to complete myself; I must identify the best place for the statue in the workspace and create the 'stage' to construct it in. The stage is really just a wireframe box... shhh...

Scaffold construction will take place if flight is not achieved. It's not optimal, but scaffolds will make it possible to construct the statue despite the setback.


That should be all the information you need for this part of the project. If helping out with a huge project like this looks like something you want to do, then sign up here. Make haste, though! This will be a very short phase compared to the excavation phase and it may last less than one week!



Some notes/info about the hole/project:

The hole is 190x286x41 meters

The statue is 120x246x118 meters

The stage will be 122x248x120 meters

Spacing is 34x20

To add onto this... This project in particular is to get Mythruna on the radar... Not as advertising, but... to let people know you can make amazing stuff here like in other voxel games.

I'm honestly surprised you were able to clear all of that out.

It's all in the technique. Anyone can do it if they put their mind to it. Without technique, the excavation project would have easily taken 10x as long.

I'll probably publish my technique when I figure out how to explain it.

Also, it takes the determination and patience to even want to finish what you started. xD

As long as you have a spare keyboard, patience is optional.
