Newcamshire
Overview
Founded May 10th 2023, Newcamshire is a town located by the (5000 -5000) mark, Legally Co-owned between Cameron_TNT and J_Slug, but with two other major contributers Daespi and Yiaro222. Newcamshire is welcoming of visitors, offering a Visitor centre directly opposite of the nether portal which displays legal information and travel destinations.
Legal
On the night of June 11th, Newcamshires land claim document was officially signed by CrafterOne, granting Newcamshire full private ownership of the land. This has given Newcamshire the unique privilege of defining their own laws and restrictions inside the land of Newcamshire, which may vary from that of spawntown, or any other general laws.
Due to the possible confusion of players on these unique sets of laws, Newcamshire has TOS which are plastered upon entry to the land, and which are accepted upon entry. Players who wish to read the laws of Newcamshire can either have an overview in the visitor centre, or get a complete list in the towns library.
Copy's of Newcamshires land claim document and other historical documents can be found in the towns library, when construction is complete.
History
Newcamshires foundations were laid when Cameron_TNT joined the server on May 10th 2023, and boated away to the 5000 -5000 mark. After digging a hole into a cliff face, Cameron_TNT was helped by Kekui to get a foothold in the server. The next day, J_Slug was invited to the server by Cameron_TNT, where progress rapidly began on Newcamshire.
A few days into the progress of Newcamshire, Two creatures (Halfasleepsam and Waeoli) entered through the Newcamshire portal, screaming, with one chasing the other. Eventually, one of them died, and the other (Waeoli) helped us build an ice highway for transport to spawntown. Later in the day, the other one started hiding in our walls, requiring extermination. These events are what started J_Slugs obsession with the creatures of Crafters One.
After 11 days of progress, Newcamshire branched out into sales, selling fully enchanted diamond armour and tools for 48 diamonds a set. The business was fairly successful, giving Newcamshire a financial footing for future projects.
Three days later Newcamshires third resident, Daespi, Joined (24th May 2023). The addition of a third resident not only sped up the construction of Newcamshire, but it also allowed for much more diversity in the build styles of the town, giving it much more of a mix of influences.
Later after this, Newcamshire branched out into the sales of Totems of Undying, through the development of a rudimentary raid farm. This farm produced enough totems to allow Newcamshire to undercut all competition, cheaper by a factor of 6. This caused a collapse of the totem market, eventually causing totem prices to drop to 2 diamonds per 27 totems.
After this occurence, on June 8th 2023, Yiaro222 was taken as a Newcamshire resident. On joining the server, Cameron_TNT met Yiaro222, and after some time offered him residency in Newcamshire, with Yiaro222 offering to help with builds and contraptions around Newcamshire, with his technical minecraft knowledge.
A few days later, pressured by the level of resources supporting four players requires, Newcamshire constructed an automatic tree farm to keep up with the wood demand. The excess production of the farm was to be sold off, to make money for further projects. The excess wood ended up being sold at 3 times cheaper than the competition, with the funds generated going towards future projects.
After about another week of development, Newcamshires sorting system was complete, primarily with the work of Yiaro222, supplied with Newcamshires resources. This system allowed residents to easily deposit and find deposited items in the system, instead of searching an ever increasing number of unsorted chests. This increased the efficiency that the construction was occurring, and made it easier overall for everyone to work with the storage
After this, It was realised that more shulker boxes were required to fully take advantage of the storage system, and with the prices of shulker boxes being a diamond for four at the time, Newcamshire constructed their own shulker farm. This provided Newcamshire with an excess of shulker shells, the excess of were planned to be sold at a price 16x lower than the competition. At the time of writing, the shells have not been put on sale yet, but plans are there.
Current Major Projects
--Please note that this information may be out of date, last updated June 26th, 2023--
One of Newcamshires current projects is the Lower Docks. This area was one of the first areas to be constructed, preceding the pit even, but it is missing some key details. While the main structure, shape and theme of the area are fully complete, it is missing most of its little intricate details which make the area feel alive, with doorways leading to nothing but a blank room, or vast areas of open, unused land. These details are important, so before declaring this area as complete, it has to be made sure to have these structures. Development has started, with a fish shop opened up on the lower area of the docks, and a marketplace beginning on the largest open area.
Another project is the Pit. This area is being dug out and decorated, to provide a tucked away intricate experience to anyone that finds it. This includes heavy focus on natural detailing, and theming for each cave. Currently, while the main body of the pit has been excavated, it has been largely undecorated with so far only one offshoot cave which is fully complete. The pit is not the current priority, however, given other projects at the time
One of the main focuses at the moment is the Market district of Newcamshire. The hope is is that this area is the main heart of the whole area, boasting interesting things to see and do. This area is being fitted with many entirely unique buildings along the main course of the street, fitting in the vally. This should help give the area a closed in, but comfortable feel (think Diagon Alley) This, however, is obviously a lot of work since not only do the exteriors of the buildings have to be unique, but so do the interiors, giving a lot of work for every resident to do.
[[File:Newcamshire_factory_template.png|300px|thumb|left|A template of what the final factory will look like, without intermediate redstone (June 26th, 2023)] Finally, our other main focus has been the Factory. The factory required a massive hole to be dug out of about 140*40*30, with massive redstone contraptions to fit inside. This will create the bulk of building blocks we will need, all on one production line, with a control panel to choose which we want. This should remove most building block limitations, allowing us to use massive amounts of resources on truly massive structures, without having to spend an unreasonable amount of time collecting them.
