Hi everyone.
In light of the recent issues with farms and with various problems regarding redstone farms and lag issues, I am taking it upon myself to create some community farms on the flat expanse previously inhabited by Crispon. Plans are as follows:
- A gap will be left between the bottom of the staircase and the farms, to accommodate other builds relating to the introduction of new players. - Four animal and three crop farms will be created. These will be Chicken, Pig, Sheep and Mooshroom (as opposed to Cow), plus a wheat, potato and carrot farm. - Crop farms will be reasonably sized, probably around 12x12. Animal pens will be fairly small. - The animal farms are to be limited to FOUR ANIMALS PER PEN. They will be manual farms and will have breeding ingredients stored nearby in chests. - You can breed a whole bunch to kill for food, but they MUST then be culled back to FOUR before you leave the area. Instructions to this effect will be posted on signs. - Crop farms are subject to the standard replanting rules you'd expect.
Since this is a build designed for everyone to use, if you feel like helping out or donating items please feel free to do so. I'll be online making a start on this from about 6pm UK time.
If there any objections to my doing this, please let me know BEFORE then.
Thanks.

IN ADDITION - I really like the idea of having a market in this whole area, so will be placing and building the pens/farms with that in mind.

The animal farms at spawn are being built with the intention of removing all other animal farms.

Does anyone have a whole lot of oak wood they don't need? If so, please leave it in a chest at spawn. Thx.

UPDATE - these plans were modified to include the market town and fountain (many thanks to CSchnur for his input here). the crop farms are currently being constructed by Sorka on the far side of the ridge behind the New Starter Centre.
