'''Hydropolis''' was a city on the [[Survival 2]] world, built in the middle of an ocean on a guardian temple, further developing a futuristic/sci-fi style.

	== Origins ==		==Origins==
	Hydropolis was started as a small farm project between the players ''RY44'', ''_gewoon_iemand_'' and slightly later ''DragonFire441''. All based around a guardian temple, an array of farms were built down below the ground. Meanwhile, above water, decoration of the farm had started, producing a prismarine temple, reminiscent of Classical architecture. Then soon a quad of iron farms were hung in the air around the top of the monument, which were connected by a ring, introducing glass and quartz to the palette, which were instrumental for the development of the theme into a futuristic style.

	At this point, player ''LAK3RS'' was invited to help come up with designs for the city, from whom the idea for the pedestals came (see later), as well as advice from someone who at the time already owned a city. In addition, ''Kevinstop'' was chosen to act as a fourth mayor, though he later became inactive and left his position.

	=== Inspiration ===		===Inspiration===
	The city was based on several ideas and styles: the centre of the city was mostly based on the futuristic-greek style, which became Hydropolis' feature style down the line. The rest of the city was based on the 8 planets in the solar system, despite original plans for having Pluto as well. The 'donut' island, and 8 pedestals were divided up into 8 districts, each themed after the relating planet. The farm area beneath the monument, also known as the hub, was a mix of many styles, each of which related to the farm which was there. The design of the centrepiece to the town was also inspired by ''ImpulseSV'' and ''TangoTek''<nowiki/>'s Bases on [http://hermitcraft.com/ Hermitcraft] season 5.

	== Layout ==		==Layout==
	The layout of the city, as seen in the rough plan on the right, was quite unlike the other cities, in that it was much more spaced out. The centre of the town in the middle, consisting of 4 smaller towers holding spheres on the corners, with a central tower in the middle, almost reaching build height.

	Around the centre is the "donut" island, divided into 8 slices: each of these slices was terraformed in the fashion of the 8 planets, with the gas planets made using mostly glass and the fog effect. The donut held many different types of building: in each sector there was an office for each of the district managers: other buildings included embassies from [[Havana]], Mollus' area, the [[MicroMesa]], and a couple residential builds which were built in the week for which the city was open.

	Around the donut island were positioned 8 residential discs suspended above the sea, each of which had space for 8 plots; each of these raised areas were attributed to one of the districts.

	At the south end of the city was positioned the "builder's storage" building, which housed, as suggested byt he name, a storage area for the Hydropolis team.

	Beneath the Plague Mask was the Hydropolis bar: the significance of this location was that it housed ''RY44''<nowiki/>'s head collection, which was one of the most complete collections on that world; this was one of the last builds to be created within the town.
