Whilst building yet another castle on Mojang's incredible sandbox game, Minecraft, I began to think about something more than turrets and portcullis's. I wanted to challenge myself to build a place which I'd never have to leave, and could feel safe in when the mobs came out. To this end, I began construction of the industrial site of Bigfoot's Big Foods. Oh, and there is no Tekkit here, since I am playing on Xbox 360 edition!
So, here is an aerial shot of the site:
As you can see, the main feature of the site is the enormous warehouse to the top-right of the image, which houses all of the food necessary to survive, along with the treasure vault. There is also a corporate pool (for relaxing) and a house in the middle to sleep at night! The two main fields are a wheat field (to make bread) and a sugar cane field (for sugar to use in cakes), which ensures that I never have to leave the site for food if I choose not to. Also, to be rid of any excess materials I don't need, I have constructed an incinerator (top-left) to prevent my chests from becoming cluttered. The most recent additions, however, are the cobblestone generator (so that I don't have to dig up the land to make infinite cobblestone for tools) and an underground (and underwater) access tunnel to the other island (where my sister is building another castle/village!)
The next step is to construct an orchard to provide a renewable source of wood (and charcoal) which will make the factory site completely self-sustainable, and a permanent safe haven from all manner of mobs which might try to kill me in the night.
Except for spiders. Those bastards get everywhere that water can't!
