Doom Tower

History
Doom Tower (like many things about it, the name is not final) was a structure located at the ocean shores of the jungle east of spawn. The first block was placed on the 30th of April, 2012, with the final structural block being placed on the 17th of May, 2012. It was designed as a self-contained city, in the style of hive cities from the Warhammer 40k universe, though quite frankly it more resembles the Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang. A significant amount of jungle has been excavated to make way for it, the side benefit of which has been construction supplies. What started as a solo project became a team thing, starting with very kind and large donations of resources (especially cobble and clay) from a multitude of people, the arrival of tenants, and eventually a large group of players pitching in to dig out the jungle.

General Info
26 floors, of which 25 are 8 units tall. 2 underground storage levels, 20 normal floors and 4 penthouse floors. Most of the beach is hollow (sand for glass and whatnot), though this is unnoticeable topside. The total area covered is roughly 100x100x190 Ownership of the tower has now transferred to tradepost, as Sgt Doom is unable to summon the motivation to continue working on it.

Current Facilities
There's a melon and wheat farm, as well as smelting facilities. A zombie mob spawner is also available, along the path to the desert tunnel. All are free to use so long as they're left usable for other people.

Future Plans
The main plans are to increase the number of facilities and their quality (namely adding easier-to-access and larger smelting area, brewing facilities etc.), adding a dock area, expanding the beach area, and eventually, turning the area into a proper town.

Travel
There is currently a Nether portal active, and can be located as a tunnel marked "Doom Tower", next to the spawn portal. There is also an incomplete path that cuts right underneath the jungle and exits in the desert east of spawn. That, however, is a far more time-consuming route than the portal. The tower is also accessible by boat, owing to it's shoreline location.
