HeinzPeter Server Cribs: OctopodesRex edition!

Post by octopodesrex »

I've been accepted into Skytown! I'll be moving soon, but I thought I'd feature my house before taking up new residence.

Anyway, it's north of spawn near Dwarfenheim, and put alot of work into it. Feel free to take a look! Position on map is X -1538, Y 76, Z 494. It's public so just type /home octo to visit.

Here it is on the map:
Image

Here are some screenies and house features:

Image
This is an overview of the house, going for the whole ranch house feel.

Image
Front gate with sign (feel free to customize)

Image
Front Door to my humble abode!

Image
Barbecue pit for roasting pork chops!

Image
View of my lookout tower/pool diving board

Image
Here's my pool right outside the house from the diving board. Note the recessed lighting in the pool itself and jacuzzi.

Image
Also from the diving board, a view east of my mine within walking distance and my neighbor BIGBenY who I've built a walkway to. He's built a church on the facing cliffside.

Image
From my diving board you can see the anti-mob fire ditch I built around the house, useful in keeping spiders and other things out and letting me enjoy my view.

Image
Here's a view south toward Dwarfenheim and my neighbor, Jordan2725 who also settled here.

Image
Poolside view of the side of my house showing large windows and Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired waterfall.

Image
Here's my view of my back porch showing the stairs leading down to my back gate and glassed-in back porch.

Image
Here's the main purpose of this house, a nice large farm where I grow sugar cane, wheat and cacti. Below is a ladder leading to my arboretum.

Image
In the cavern below my crops is my underground arboretum holding sixteen trees for easy wood access.

Image
Nearby mob water trap that drowns mobs and feeds the results in the chamber below as you laugh at them. MWA HA HA!

Image
Collecting chamber of mob trap. Allows you to watch them die in agony! HA! I have a bit of trouble with some spiders, I might put a post in the middle to keep them from slipping under.

Image
Entrance to my mine, easy to access with stairs leading down to it, going all the way to level 5 and hitting bedrock.

Image
Mine entrance showing water break at bottom of quick drop and ladder. Not shown: accidental entrance to Dwarfenheim.

Image
As you can see, I must be under a VERY large lake of lava, so I set up a small pool for easy creation of obsidian. Lots of diamonds and iron to be had here.

Image
Here's the entrance leading into the kitchen with my oven, fridge (storing food) and work bench. Nice view out the back to the crops.

Image
Here is my dining room section leading to the bedroom and back porch with my new bed!

Image
Here's the den, my pride and joy. It has a waterfall coming from the edge into the pool below, nice fireplace, couch, etc. The view of the sunrise is amazing! I like to idle here when not working.

Image
ADDITION! Within viewing distance is my strategic fort, a motte based on the old Norman forts of 1066. Note it's high on a raised earthen mound with a strategic view around.

Image
Around the motte is a water moat to slow down movement and cacti are planted at the base to prevent easy scaling by ladder. While high, accuracy with an arrow is still very achieveable.

Image
Inside the fort is storage of swords, bows and arrows, pork chops and a special weapon: a lava bucket! If they try to scale it you can just dump it on them. Note the corners for taking cover against other towers and arrows. The base of the tower is hidden obsidian to prevent undermining, and below that is a lake of lava that will give any invaders a nasty surprise!



All in all, I like it! Going to miss it when I move to Skytown.

Other players should feature their homes! It'd be interesting to see what they've got going on out there.
