Lotus is a settlement on the Survival 4 world of the Dogcraft Server. It is both the primary base for the Lotus Federation and the location of Lotus City. A connection to South 3 of the SRN is under construction. With the 1.16 update, a central hub was constructed, including paths from the NTN and to farm areas elsewhere in the nether.
Project Lotus
"Together we can accomplish anything." STSS Lotus Captain Blingbones
After the announcement of Survival 3's end, Broga_ brought together individuals from Dragon Valley, Home Tree, Barkenstein, and Calafort in Discord to discuss plans for Survival 4. These conversations led to the foundations of Lotus. It was decided the build would be a mix of custom biomes around a central city. At first, the group rallied around a location established by FangsofAmber known as the Lotus Depot. This locations was used for farms and villager trading on the earliest days of the server. While in the region, those of the Order of Calafort in Lotus scouted to the NE discovering the location that would become Calafort Úr. Around this time, several split off deciding to base on the new server Beagle. This group would become the HTC, and both groups still maintain close ties with frequent cooperation between them. As people of Lotus begin to settle into the lands that would be Lotus City, they renamed themselves to better fit their build's lore as the Lotus Federation.
The Lotus Area
Is divided up into 8 different Biomes separated by curving roads known as meanders. The outer edges of Lotus are a 1001 block circle with the meanders making their way to the borders of Lotus City proper. The different biomes are in the early states with none completed as of early May 2020. There is a Dwarven Shattered Mountain Biome, a Halfling Farmland Biome, an Ocean Biome, a River Cliff Meadow Biome, an Elven Forest Biome, and an Alien Hive Biome with 1.16. With the update also came construction on one of the two empty biomes, a Volcanic Biome. The final biome remains a mystery to all but those inside the project. For now.
Lotus City
The main home of the inhabitants of Lotus. Founded long ago by those who came from the stars based around the starship they arrived on. The city roads follow an aperture pattern moving towards the central plaza of the city. Between the roads are various plots designated for citizens to build homes while the cities industrial elementals go deep underground. Even in the wee hours of the morning you can hear the hiss and crack of the machinery below the surface.
STSS Lotus
This starship makes up the central tower of Lotus City. It consists of the engineering section at the base and the storage rooms. This also includes a connection to the lower industrial area. The upper sections (WiP) include the habitation rings and the upper library. The command section is sealed off, containing the undead crewmembers who gave their lives to bring the ships to safety so long ago.
Central Plaza
This relaxing location is the transition from the outer city to the central tower. Seasonally, the undead crew of the Lotus tests the ship's systems causing the occasional scorch mark.
Lotus Metro Station
This station (will) connect Lotus to the SRN and NTN. The SRN connection is under construction.
Biomes (Wip)
The area surrounding the Lotus ship crash leaking fuel and radiation created mutation and uprooting of the area creating the biomes.
Biomes 1 Overview
A volcanic wasteland filled with igneous rock and lava. Once home to a religious civilization who built temples and made sacrifices to the gods and were wiped out when the ships crashed, leaving only the ruins of their buildings. Features-One central volcano, with lava pools and rivers dotted around-Small sky islands, with one slightly larger holding a broken nether portal-New wrecked ship (tbc)-biome 2 overview
Biome 2 Overview
Called a River Cliff Meadow by RiotofPenguins, this lush biome is based off the designs used at the Lotus Flower farm. A main village fills the center of the biome, with custom cliff faces lining the biome's river. The branch line passes through this biome, using a unique design to better fit in with the biome's aesthetics.
Biome 3-4 Overview
These two biomes are unique in how they are split compared to the other biomes. Instead of using the meanders for division, these two instead are split between the land-based biome of New Hobbiton, and the undersea realm watched over by the great Dragon Turtle. Decorative farms of all kinds fill the Hobbiton sections, and an underwater dance club is planned for the undersea biome.
Biome 5 Overview
Consisting of huge overgrown mutated trees, this area is the native land of unknown people who lived here before the ship crashed.
Biome 6 Overview
This biome's theme is not yet finalized. It will contain the Lotus Museum within its boundaries.
Biome 7 Overview
Larger mountains were forced upward into the skies when energy released from the Lotus ship crashed giving birth to a dwarven underground-dwelling people living in the caves and tunnels they carved out.
Biome 8 Overview
From the leakage of the highly radioactive fuel from the Lotus ship created an infested/corrupt barren wasteland home to many mutated bug-like creatures and terrain.
Other Notable Features
RynnEver's Teleporting House
This frequently seen feature of the Lotus project has seen it's fair share of locations around the different Biomes. At first glance, it seems like a normal Acacia and Sandstone Structure. It has been documented appearing on a mountain top, under the sea, within a tree, and deep underground. A replica of the house is set up within Lotus City proper to let those who are curious to hunt down this mysterious building know what they are looking for.
The Dragons of Lotus
Long before the ships fell from the sky, great Dragons filled the lands that would be known as Lotus. The surviving 4 greatest of them can be found in half of the biomes, representing the primal elementals of Fire, Water, Air and Earth. (Builds by ThEquinox)
