Cookies58's Island was the project, and home of 20.png Cookies58_ on the Survival 4 world of the Dogcraft Server. It was a modern/contemporary styled base modeled after traditional American downtown architecture, located on an island.

History

The base was located about 11 thousand blocks west of Camp Beagle spawn. It was initially discovered on the launch day of the Beagle world. Originally, the base was going to sport a medieval theme, with harbors and a fishing village. Unfortunately, this idea didn't lead anywhere, which led 20.png Cookies58_ to settle with the more modern design. Only a couple buildings and farms had been constructed on the surface of the island, with most of the infrastructure underground. This made the transition pretty seamless. After Dogcraft updated to version 1.16, construction on the new and improved island began.

About

To ensure a consistent quality for the buildings, most of the builds were previously designed in a creative test world and copied to survival. One of the main goals of the base was to cultivate a realistic atmosphere, with lots of detail packed into every corner. One of the main ways this was achieved, was through detailed interiors. Most buildings boasted a full interior, with only a few empty rooms throughout the city. There were several Easter eggs scattered throughout the interiors, having references to other server members and pop culture.

Inspiration

Initial inspiration came from 20.png Keralis1's Hermitcraft S7 base, which was a large city with many sky scrapers. Keralis' base was more large scale, but both bases share a similar style. The inspiration for specific buildings came mainly from official and custom LEGO Modular buildings.

Utility

Most of the functional aspects of the island were found beneath the surface. The storage room was located centrally accessible through a slime block drop. Surrounding the storage room were a creeper farm, several small scale farms and an iron farm. The only farm to remain on the surface was a sheep farm, which was initially in the Wool Corp skyscraper, but was moved to the Office Building.
