I'm happy about the positive reception of my last post! Although it would be ideal to have a few more people committed to helping, I'm counting my blessings that so many have continued to work on the project over the last year. Here's the rundown of what's been done in the past 24 hours:

I built a stone smelter in my house (Tower of the Fountain) to take my double chests of cobble and put them to good use. I'm out of cobble now (and nearly out of charcoal) so these supplies are of paramount importance to continue construction.

I have outlined designs for the Gold, Quartz, and Iron gates. All of these are fairly generic designs, although I have something special in mind for the Gate of Iron. The other three gates (Wood, Netherbrick, and Stone) are open for anyone who wishes to leave a meaningful design contribution on the outer wall of the city.

I have begun building the shell of the outer wall in stone brick. I am currently planning on doing the entirety of the outer wall in stone brick up to level 80 (where my feet are, so in reality y=79). Once this is completed the wall will be built up to an acceptable level (somewhere between y=95-105). This part of the project is extremely stone-intensive. For now, the western part of the wall has been completed nearly to the Gate of Quartz.

That's all I've got for now. If you're interested in helping out, contact me here, in game, or by PM. If you are not a member of the two major outer wall construction groups (minaswalls and ObsidianGate), contact me for access or alt access. If you have any questions or suggestions about construction in general or specific areas, feel free to contact me any time. I want this city done and I want it done right. Together we can do just that.
