About OutlandCraft
OutlandCraft is a Minecraft server based loosely on the movie Outland (1981). This is the story of Con-Am X12, a scientific reseach facility operated by the Con-Amalgamated Corporation floating in a thin layer of breathable air around Jupiter.
Con-Am X12's official mission is to develop a new energy source from the gases of Jupiter's upper atmosphere. But deep in the bowels of the research lab is the real reason for X12's existence: Scientists have recently discovered the ability to teleport people and small objects to distant worlds.
Wormholes can be created, but to where is not known. What is known is the wormhole can be kept up for exactly 1 week. Because this research project is very expensive, Con-Amalgamate insists it pay for itself by mining each new world it discovers.
This is where YOU come in. You have been recruited from the best of the best miners of Con-Am's most profitable installations. You'll start out in the dormitory you're familiar with.
However, because this is a long-term assignment, you have the ability to earn the rights to purchase better accommodations and build your own modules on the station. With time and hard work, you can move up through the ranks to become part of the Administrative staff of this, or other mining facilities.
All technologies at Con-Amalgamated's disposal will become available once we re-tool it to work in Jupiter's atmosphere and through the Teleport Gates. This includes RedPower, ComputerCraft and IndustrialCraft
If you so choose to join the Con-Am X12's team, you will be among the most privileged of all mining personnel in the company.
Detailed Information
I. ECONOMY
OutlandCraft has a thriving economy based on Iron Blocks (IB). Miners' primary source of iron is through the ore found on each planet. Once enough iron has been mined, it can be turned over to the Station to build a habitat.
But, this is not the only source of Iron Blocks, as there is an active market on Con-Am X12. Many miners earn a healthy income on the side by:
- Selling leftover ore and processed materials
- Buying habitats and renting them out
- Renting time on high-tech Industrial-Craft machines
- Conducting science and mining missions for Con Amalgamated
II. LIVING QUARTERS
Dorms: (Cost: Free, Size: 12x12x12) New miners start out in the dorms on Con-Am. There are public machines available for miners to break down their ore, and basic power in the dorm for the bare essentials. Although some machines are allowed, the dorms are really a stepping stone to habitats that can be contracted to build. Once you move on, please vacate your dorm so other new miners can have a bunk to crash in.
Tiny Habitat: (Cost: 500 IB, Size: 16x16x13) Once a miner has enough iron blocks accumulated, they can contract with the Station's construction team to build a Tiny Hab. These are the first Habitats that can be extended up or down for an additional 500 IB per extension.
Small Habitat: (Cost: 5,000 IB, Size: 46x46x13) These Habitats are a great stretch goal for successful miners! With 3 chunks square you can set up farming, limited automation, and plenty of machines to set up a profitable venture. These can be extended up or down for 5,000 IB each extension.
Medium Habitat: (Cost: 25,000 IB, Size: 112x112x13) Running a large Mining company? This is the perfect hab to set up a conglomerate of you very own! Or, get together with many of your co-miners and set up a collective. Once you pay for the hab, it's yours for life!
Large Habitat: (Cost: 200,000 IB, Size: 192x192x13) We really have to fly in the space-station construction crew for this one, but if the price is right, They're willing to build it. They charge a premium, but it's well worth it to have the equivalent floorspace of Con-Am X12.
Con-Am Facility: (Cost: 1,000,000 IB) Satisfied with the construction of Con-Am X12 and want one for your very own? Buy one! Con-Am's Space Station Construction facility builds and ships this in no-time. With this space station comes the expectation from Corporate that you will also conduct missions. Therefore you will have your very own staff of Engineers and Scientists to run another Portal.
