Area 52 is the base of Scooberson, SummerFlower1234, Navi_heylisten and Wildfirev on the Survival 3 world of the Dogcraft Server.

About

Area 52 is a shared base of four players. Located under the sea, most of the rooms can be visible through various glass domes sticking out of the seafloor. The "Welcoming Area" is an island with a shipwreck where players can get a good look at the base from land. The base is centered around an end portal very close to spawn and has largely replaced the stronghold. The central hub room the portal is in has three floors each serve their own purposes.

Top Floor

The top floor consists largely of bedrooms for the base members. Bedrooms are the one place in the base that does not stick to one particular design. The bedrooms serve primarily as a place for personal belongings or collections. Of the four bedrooms, the most notable room belongs to SummerFlower1234 who's bedroom splits out into more rooms which have various designs planned. Summer's room holds a Turtle "Sanctuary" and a coveted alwaysin7 tardis.

The top floor also features a shared head collection and map art gallery.

Middle Floor

The middle floor serves as the technical base. This is where all of the major needs for survival are met. It features a smelter, trade hall, storage, potions and eventually a library. This floor also holds the official entryway to the base, which is accessible via a cave on the seafloor. This floor also connects to a wrap around balcony in the bases tree farm.

Bottom Floor

The bottom floor is the farming floor. Here all of the crop and animal farms can be found as well as access to the lower area of the tree farm. Tucked into the walls of the hub room are various mini farms and farm outputs such as a concrete maker, egg farm, cactus and most recently compost. This floor also has the base nether portal, which is composed of several nether portals of various sizes overlapping.

History

The stronghold was located shortly after the launch of Survival 3 by Wildfirev. Who offered to share it with Scooberson after he recently expressed his desire to make a base built around an end portal as a personal challenge. Invitations to join the base were also extended to Navi_heylisten and SummerFlower1234. Initially while in the beginning stages of the base, the residents lived in a room of the stronghold. The central hub was the first room constructed, at the time there were no plans to include domes in the base design, however plans changed after construction of this rooms dome due to the satisfaction of the base residents with the first domes appearance.

During its infancy the base residents kept a log of the progress of the base, as well as using it for general messages to each other. Currently there are three logs. The first log, which contained a majority of the base progress was sadly lost to a glitch with item frames. The second log took its place and was completed early December 2019, a copy of this log can be found in the public library in spawn. The residents are currently on the third log, however due to how advanced the base has become, log entries have taken a less progress based record and more of a "mail box" based record.
