Talk:Spawn

Globes

I also like to move the Mars/Moon/Earth globes from Warden to the new spawn, they look pretty cool.... BuckarooBanzai (talk) 21:50, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

a's Suggestions

I don't like how in the current spawn area, there's a little section that you spawn in that's separated from the main box with a door. I would prefer if Spawn 2.0 has the actual spawn point inside the main area and no little extensions on the sides. In the teleportation links to locations on Earth, we should add links to minor, unofficial towns and to major, but isolated public builds that the builders are okay with people settling around.

admin store aka Sky Mall

If we move it, then please outside the rainbow. I'd prefer to have a prominent mosaic on shops-island to skymall than actually having it at spawn. This under the moto: spawn is a place that links to places. - SwissalpS

I agree. Sky mall is 16 by 28 by 18, so it can fit on the shops island. But with the basement having to be inside the bottom half-sphere, it would need to be right in the center, so it would block the path to the rainbow, and it'd be awkward to find a place for the korlen shopping network. And I think it is best not to put buildings on top of the islands (except for the islands themselves). Large open areas with few or no doors are good. — Coil (talk) 02:48, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Ideas/Proposals Tasks

• 55 from center of middle island to center of outter islands
• 20 radius for outter islands

Basic idea

• Center spawn island
• 4 outer islands
• earth / space / shops / tutorials

"Earth" island

• Space for about 30 teleporters
• Teleporter "priorities":
  • Old places: farther behind
  • New/Hot places: more in the front

-> ?

"Space" island

• Space for about 30 teleporters
• Vacuum-warning

-> ?

"Shop" island

• Space for the shop teleporters
• Shop building (move the existing one?)

-> ?

"Tutorial" island

• Space for the tutorial teleportes

-> ?

Needs

• move globes from old spawn over bridges to Earth and orbital

• move pandorabox text to over tutorial area (facing center island)

• move red spaceship to over space area

Coords

Space Island

Ideas and proposals

news section accessible only to mods on the central platform?

• no, why should news access be limited? - AceRichman
• Guess write access is meant - SwissalpS
• Central platform is small and I hardly ever look at signs after the first time. Also, it's nice for the central platform to be plain grass and flowers and to resist urge to put too much there. - coil

---

Train line around spawn?

• no, not needed - AceRichman
• Trains are only visible from 20 nodes away, so that means extra lag for little visibility. - coil

---

short chat tutorial at spawn or in tutorial area?

• make a tutorial linked from tutorial area - SwissalpS
• A book at the entrance of the tutorials area with rules, chat usage (channels, languages, messages, whisper), basic commands (/help, /spawn, /sethome, /home, /killme), and links to wiki is probably good. Anything with demos, signs, or more than a few books: best to make a separate tutorial and link there with beacons. — Coil

---

Place for non-shopping players' networks

• Interesting idea
• Don't earth and space teleporters provide that?
• Maybe just a section for teleporters to travel hubs - AceRichman

---

Shopping materials voting pending, please add your suggestions

• technic marble + granite - ?
• silver sandstone, obsidian, and regular steel-framed glass looks good to me - AceRichman
• chi suggested white wool cloud. I think someone wanted to move the existing mall at spawn. - coil

---

Should the space between the current platforms be used for more platforms (of the same size)? They would fit perfectly, and would provide space for more things (such as the news/info section) - AceRichman

^ I have built a example between tutorial and space platforms out of scaffold - AceRichman

• I think it looks crowded - SwissalpS
• Also the bridge would have to be built diagonally, which doesn't look very nice - AceRichman

Maybe just add smaller (10-15 radius) platforms, one each for news/info, travel hub teleporters, admin shop, and something else? - AceRichman

---

should news section include updates to mods?

(e.g. the new jumpdrive upgrades)

• Yes, if anyone has time to write about the updates. But that section should not be at spawn. - coil

---

Signs are running out of space and hard to read. Should move everything to wiki. - coil
