Wuuw and I climbed down into the newly formed meteor crater to check out its full potential and found that the little island in the middle was all bedrock and nearly flat. We quickly built a 1 room shack to stake our claim on it and went about terraforming it to make it easier to get into.
We made a ramp down and a land bridge across to it so we could cart in the raw materials we would need to start building our new home.
Then we sized up the area and started planning out the structures. We had learned from our last village that planning is important to get the most out of a deed. Due to the size of the island and the minimum size of deeds we decided to do it in 2 stages, the inner keep and the outer rim.
Our first priority from there was to make it all secure and to get a deed token planted so the inner keep walls all went up as the first stage.
Now that we had a wall and doors we were able to move all of the livestock from the ship works to stop the spread of disease the confined space was already causing.
It would be a while before we finished the inner keep but we were already loving our new home. The outer rim took a lot longer as there was a lot of dirt to be moved before we could put up the outer walls on the deed border.
During this time a lot of friends and neighbours offered us help and materials. It was really cool to see a positive aspect of the community.
Mbwakali wasn't on much in those days as he had real life issues to deal with and our friend Wyverx tended to disappear into the mountains a lot so it was mainly just Wuuw and I in our new village so it really kept us busy.
I have talked about this era of our Wurm experience with Wuuw several times and have come to believe this was the beginning of the end for our newbie ways. It was around this time we really started understanding the game and learnt to maximise our skill gains and do things in the most efficient ways.
