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 planned once construction on the SRN is completed. A temporary NTN connection has been made pending the 1.16 update.

"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 รšr. Around this time several split off deciding to base on the new server Beagle. This group would become the HTC, and both group 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 builds 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 planned Dwarven Ravine Biome, a Halfling Farmland Biome, an Ocean Biome, a River Cliff Meadow Biome, an Elven Forest Biome, and an Alien Hive Biome come 1.16. Two of the biomes have currently been left unplanned to allow future members an opportunity to submit ideas.

Lotus City

The main home of the inhabitants of Lotus. Founded long ago by those who came from the 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 bellow 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 commend 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 ships systems causing the occasional scorch mark.

Lotus Metro Station

This station (will) connect Lotus to the SRN and NTN. The SRN connection is currently waiting for construction to begin.

Biomes (Wip)

The area surrounding the lotus ship crash leaking fuel and radition 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

Comming soon

Biome 3-4 overview

This biome is moddled after hobbiton from lord of the rings

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

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 7 Overview

From the leakage of the highly radioactive fuel from the lotus ship created a infested / corrupt barren wasteland home to many mutated bug like creatures and terrain.

Lotus Federation Lore

(Wip)

Generations ago in far off space existed an ancient star surrounded by planets full of life. Some worlds were wellsprings of magic, and others bastions of technology. Their ways of life were as different as their peoples. As one would expect there were cycles of war and times of peace among these worlds. These cycles all came to an end when a great cataclysm swept through the system.

Some said it was a Star collapsing in on itself unleashing massive gravitational forces. Others claim it was the completion of some foul ritual awaking some trapped abomination that started devouring worlds. Still other claim of things far stranger and beyond reason sweeping in from the abyss of the starry void. What little warning the worlds received allowed a mix of crafts mystical, electronic, and fusions among the two to fill the skies attempting to escape. As craft after craft began to succumb to the cataclysm one ship became a beacon to the others. The STSS Lotus acted as a wedge through the gravitational vortexes surrounding the system allowing what ships that were able to follow after. Using the majority of their power reserves the Lotus tore open a wormhole taking the flock of ships to the world known as Husky.
