Completed Hawthorne (lemonbear and Antalex)

[Thamus_Knoward]

If I get clearance to work on the terrain in bushy, ferren and deepden lands, I'll take care of the river for sure!

Edit: For this it would be very nice if Emote had already released the shingle/gravel block too

 

[Antalex]

I was writing my post but Tham was swifter and he answered to my question^^
If you could help us, I'm agree for the river.

@Thamus_Knoward Deep Den is a pretty old finished build, and I don't know if anyone is currently working on tests for a new one, so it's probably fine for you to mess around with those lands. I believe @Ramen is working on Ferren, and @jmcmarq is working on Bushy.

In general, I'd like this to get started sooner rather than later if possible.

 

[Thamus_Knoward]

I can start plotting the rough course tonight. And I'll have some time on the weekend to finish it off.

 

[lemonbear]

@Lyliana I saw the changes you made, and I now post-approve your hamlet.

 

[Thamus_Knoward]

Just a quick follow up, I realised that the terraforming in the valley was super tricky due to enormous height variations of the valley floor from periodic dips/ depressions. I also noticed that oddly enough the valley further west from deepden (i.e higher up in the mountains) is lower than east of it and the goldroad there transforms into a monstrous beast which with its painfully contorted body scares every traveller by quietly wailing "kiiiiillll meeee".

Fixing that is a pretty large terraforming effort, which would be further compounded by my desire to preserve Deepden and Yew.

Hence, unless the mods in their eternal wisdom can concoct a different solution, I will limit my terraforming to start just slightly east of Deepden.

In preparation I've begun filling holes in the terrain and raising parts of Ferren to lie on a flat surface rather than in odd ditches. With your permission I'll gradually move south to continue prepping the terrain like this.

I'm fine with this, although I would like it if @Ramen could have a say (since the stream will go through his project). Idk if you were looking for my permission, since the changes don't affect Hawthorne, and hence I will defer to the mods and all their wisdom.

 

[Thamus_Knoward]

I'm looking for your permission wrt raising the terrain even in occupied areas. Take a look at ferren-town a this is where I've already done this.

Btw, I have done this previously at Fawnton, where Galivis and Davinator had built the entire town a ditch leading the river to flow uphill. This is just to reassure you that I can be sufficiently careful and precise.

 

[Thamus_Knoward]

I shall stick to plotting the rough course first though so you know where changes will be happening!

 

[Ramen]

I'd prefer for the planned river to not go through the middle of the village at Ferren, and instead follow this path:

 

[Thamus_Knoward]

Fair enough, I take this as your approval then to make the required terraforming changes aswell?

I will need to push back that range in the south to make room indicating that the natural course was redirected.

 

[Antalex]

Your hamlet is post approved by me too @Lyliana good job!

 

[Thamus_Knoward]

The rough course is plotted. I am awaiting approval and further instructions as to how to proceed within Hawthorne lands.

@jmcmarq I need your approval too as the river runs along the goldroad through bushy lands.

Approved, has sense to have rivers in that bushy lands, and can be cool

 

[lemonbear]

The river and its course look good to me! What kind of instructions are you looking for RE: proceeding in Hawthorne lands?

 

[Wazgamer]

Hio not had a chance to take a look at the project recently but any updates on the terra @Thamus_Knoward ?

 

[Thamus_Knoward]

Been really busy, but the river is laid out and in its current form approved by lemon as far as I'm aware. That at least should suffice for people to plan accordingly

 

[Wazgamer]

@lemonbear @Antalex How's this going? Know yous are both probs busy, but just checking up.

 

[Antalex]

Hey waz ! Hum with the work in university I didn't play since 1.5 month at least...
But vacations are coming and I will come back a little. Then atm for me the project is on a break

 

[lemonbear]

I've also been pretty busy, but I try to come on every once in a while to work on it. I've been mostly focusing on nature stuff because I can now place grass and trees and things with WE. I'm also largely working on furnishing the castle and building Hawthorne Farm 1, and I'm waiting for @Thamus_Knoward to do some work on the canals/river/stream before giving Zoso (if he's still our editor) the go ahead to do the forests.
