Should we focus the main town to be in one building style?
Should we focus the main town to be in one building style?
I believe we should focus on making the town feel more like one in which everything fits together. Right now, the town has a lot of different styles, making it look disorganized and almost misshapen. I believe the "Castro" square and Michael Parenti University's styles are really good; the castro one is easier to build and looks good, but the Michael Parenti one looks better but is a lot harder to build.
Well personally I want to make the smelter in a contemporary style but it'll be outside of the current "city core" if you will. I definitely think we should upgrade the cobblestone boxes. I do have one major concern, though. A lot of the buildings are primarily wood (including the roofs!) and close together. One bad thunderstorm, mis-clicked flint and steel, or griefer and the entire city will be up in flames.
I think I deactivated fire spread back when I managed the server, but I'm not 100% sure it actually works. Someone should put some wooden planks in a safe area and light a fire to see if it spreads.

Would my oil rig be hit by those new regulations ? It's not really part of the main town.
No I'm only talking about the city, structures outside it can look however you want
I think we don't have to limit ourselfs to 3 blocks.
A bit of Oak Log framing, and not too exotic materials to fill it in could be a rough guideline. Also some buildings already use a smoother stone framing, that style could be used for some more industrial buildings.
Also detail level to the taste and the ability of the architect.
Yea i dont mean that limiting, just dont allow giant cobble cubes and stuff like that, just make general guidelines on what a house should look like
As the one behind Stalin street and the whole concept of the "urban center", I'm emotionally inclined to protect it. Personally, I feel like commieblock is the way to go, but I have the stylistic ability of a rock.
