While both Andrast workers have done their fair share of progress for this week it seemed clear from the number of pages prism yielded for me that they mostly took a break from voxelling this week. They well deserved it!
​

From north to south:

• Eriol is still being strong lead in the terraforming of the northern part of Belfalas and now also has gotten some help by Darki and some non-staff members that were able to help in the manual fine terraforming using one of those new fancy plotbuilds. It is a very interesting development we're currently seeing: Terrain is more and more often being done by hand these days. Our quality of terrain is getting so high that not even Voxel is good enough anymore for it...
• The houses to be built around Lostfalls have been victims to a bit a communication problem between iSMiTHz and Thijs regarding the styles and so the plotbuild had to be cancelled again and the houses now still wait for completion. Meanwhile the planting of trees in this area is making crazy progress, everything is getting incredibly lush and green currently!
• Brazen is going strong in completing Methrast, the town at the southern tip of Belfalas, both the houses as well as the surrounding terrain.
  For very long we have struggled with how one can make a place look lively, and a lot of thought was put into detailing things. While this still is necessary we now got a tool to improve the atmosphere of our places a huge step forward: The Armor Stand Editor. Check out in the images above what Eaglz and Thijs did with it in Methrast!

The plotbuild that was held here seemed to be very successful! All plots claimed and almost all of them successfully finished!
Watch out for new plotbuilds using /plot list!
Additionally to the town itself, work on the mine behind it has started!
​

Despot is almost done with his current masterpiece which is the vertical connector hall/shaft which serves to move good between the levels using cranes. He has now mostly finished the hall and has now started adding the numerous cranes.
In the meanwhile bender has continued on Aulë's hall and Ivan on his training grounds, which both are about to be done now!
I am sorry that I can't yet bring you the big news I promised last week, but some unexpected IRL skirmish held me rather busy this week.
​

No progress this week (Tyran's on vacation).
​

The village at the mouth of the Erui has made a bit of progress by the hands of a small team of Artists.
​

Most likely no updates this week. Ivan was busy in Moria.
​

Eriol has been working non-stop on the new plugins since their release, constantly fixing bugs, and still he does not get tired of it but instead keeps adding new features at the same time! Here's an abbreviated changelog for the Plotbuild for this week:

• Some bugs with restoring plots are being fixed.
• A new command was added that allows both the Plotbuild staff as well as builders of a plot to communicate with each other. This is especially useful when more than one player is working on one plot. The staff can then talk to all of them at once, and the builders also have a kind of group chat for themselves.

Also in this plugin a lot of fixes as well new additions can be seen, here's some of them:

• In the /get sets you will soon be able to fetch unlit Redstone Torches (unlit candles) as well as half beds to construct cozy couches (fantastic idea by Tulkas!)
• If you try to get a head that's not in the collection you will now get an error message instead of no feedback at all.
• some more technical things
