Having a village claim underground...

Postby Thunderbrew » Sat Sep 10, 2011 11:31 pm

So, I asked in chat a bit earlier what they thought of a village claim underground. Some thought it was dumb, some thought it was awesome.

It seems to have disadvantages, as if someone dropped a village claim outside the cave...then I would be screwed. Though, the cavern system I'm in, has quite a few exits and entrances, and I haven't explored all of it yet, either. But, it would be pretty cool to have a village underground.

Then again, maybe it makes more sense to make a village on top, and just make a few alts to claim the areas in the caverns...

What are your guys's thoughts?

I guess you could But in my opinion tree farming, crop farming and tending to cattle takes up 90% of all choirs, and simply isn't really practical to have a whole village underground.
Does this mean you shouldn't have a village claim underground? Hell no :D I love my cave base and its real handy to store stuff in mass, As you can just line up a shitload of cupboards without worry of decay.

Also I wouldn't suggest building said village in a cave system, It simply draws too much attention and like you said you'll have to protect the entrance, Which isn't hard I guess, but it's more work...

If I were you I would drop a mine hole where you knew there wasn't any cave systems in the area, Then mine out as much space as you need and then start build :) Of course you'd need to seal off the mine hole entrances in and out to prevent people taking a nosy. Over all it is a lot of work, but the benefit of having all the space and being organized is well worth the effort.

I know this is an old post, but I like the idea. My only concern would be security.

What would prevent raiders from dropping mine shaft over your village? This would give them access, no?
