What signs should I follow to visit this village/city/thingy youve built? I would like to see it

Anyway running out of ideas about what buildings the city could have in it. I tried upgrading their "democracy" yesterday, but lost the train of thought halfway through and ended up with a "church"...

Skyscrapers, bank, city hall, barracks, sculptures, rich district, poor district, mafia building, police building, factories, pub and so on.

There aren't any signs to point it out yet. I think we're also still deciding where the portal will go. I sort of want it above ground so the villagers can get into it easy during the next patch (secured of course so we don't flood the nether) to link the two halves better.

It's out here at 1500, -1000.
Chompy's house seems to have the closest portal by the looks of it, but I remember it being out in the open in the nether really close to lava so a bit of a nightmare. There seems to be some a little further away, but have a safer path.

Hmm, that probably leaves bank, city hall, barracks, police building, factory and a pub.
Factory has to make doors of course.

That is an unusually high concentration of cacti...

That's enderman for you...

Cacti from the wall had to go somewhere.

Now cut them down an replant them.
Let the Great Cactus Plague begin!

Chech the 'A Metropolis' tutorial on the MC wiki for ideas.

There is this:http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/File:Appartment_Complex.png

How about redecorating that cobble generator?

Melissia, I think i found your area. Random brick thing on top of a hill?

EDIT: yes it is yours, I found a sign.

Lazuli Bay?

whatever it is actually called. I just stumbled across it while hunting creepers...

You know you guys need to go all-out with this, right? Just keep building new towers and structures, and make an entire legitimate City- one that has, like, 32000 residents.

Well see this: http://www.darkinnit.com/dakkamap/#/1431/64/-1265/-3/0/0
It's the other half that we still sort of have to connect to.

Then over to the bottom here: http://www.darkinnit.com/dakkamap/#/1555/64/-939/-2/0/0
Is a dungeon that could be used as an intake for a "factory".


I'll decorate the cobble generator a bit, but I don't think I'll end up expanding it all that much by myself.
At the moment I'm thinking if when we make new sections with their wall would we just create a gate or knock out the connected wall instead.

Make it an automatic cobble generator, and make a redstone clock.

We have a cobble generator that runs on an internal clock.

Please stay away from my house if you're hunting creepers.

More or less finished making the cobble generator look fancier, just need to watch it for a while to test for fire...

i wasnt looking for your house...

I found it by accident
I also borrowed your portal because by this point I had no idea where I was (Yes I closed the door)

And cobble generator looks fancy now with the shiny new glass in that texture pack.

Whattup with the vikings?

That's just sort of how the smiths look.

Looks good. Will take a look in-game once I'm done with lunch.

Which means you were just in time to watch the grass grow.

The random dirt blocks were for growing grass?

Sounds a bit like the yogscast tekkit videos where they cover their rivals house in dirt.
anyway what is happening with the tekkit server? (I just wondered because nothing has been mentioned about it for a few pages)

No idea. Maybe if my dad will give me the old tower, I can upgrade it a bit and make it a permanent server.
Maybe.

Also guys, while Iustis and I appreciate the help, please don't add random ass changes to the town of ghost.
