Lakeworks is the base of Montenator on the Survival 5 world of the Dogcraft Server. The base is on the world of Akita in the south-east, roughly in between South Station and East Station. The base is currently in its infancy, with very little development currently in the area.

About

The base is built in a 'savannah modern industrial style', which mainly consists of acacia wood with many greys and whites mixed in. The base consists of three main islands of the coast of a peninsula in the south-east of Akita. The first island where development is currently taking place is named 'Long Island' (a reference to the island in the state of New York of the same name). The other islands include 'Big Island' where the main bulk of the infrastructure will be found and finally 'Lush Island' where a large port area is planned. Another peninsula south of the archipelago is also planed top be used for the site of the SRN Station serving the base.

The base was conceptualized as a response to Montenator wanting to get better at redstone and farming, which he has previously done very little of throughout his previous bases on Dogcraft. Lakeworks plans to have most buildings serve a function, whether that be to hide a farm or to serve a useful purpose (like a map building). This is in stark contrast to Montenator's previous bases, such as M-Bay, which featured largely empty space on its inside.

History

The area picked out for Lakeworks was first discovered by Montenator in late March of 2022, with Montenator abandoning his previous pick for a base location due to it being sandwiched between two other bases close by, which prevented growing room. The area where Lakeworks is located is about 700 blocks further east of the original location.

Currently progress has started on 'Long Island' with a central storage room and auto smelter being designed in creative on the Dogcraft Sandbox world. These buildings are slowly being built in Survival with their progresses heavily dependent on how many resources are available to Montenator. There are plans to link Lakeworks up to all major methods of transport on the Dogcraft server, with it being part of a loop branch line between South and East Station. This line would start at East Station, head down towards Airport Station before arriving at Lakeworks. The line would then lead from Lakeworks to Aero_M's town Fenswick, before heading towards HatterSkye's base the Mojave Swamp, before terminating at South Station. Plans to link it to the main East Tunnel of the NTN are also in the works, as well as building road and sea connections to the base, courtesy of the Akita Project Group.
