is lookin' good.

Say hello to Spawn Plateau, and my own little hobbit home on top of it.

Folks have come and gone, spread far and wide over the map, and created some amazing stuff; some of which we've showcased on our site.

If this looks like a fun time in vanilla+ to you, go ahead and visit

@wholesomedonut Sounds great!
I've been looking for a new server to play on. 2 questions:
- Will you provide world saves if you reset the world (e.g. on upgrade) or close down the server? (My previous place disappeared without a final snapshot, and I really would have liked to keep the large project I had going there.)
- How do you cover hosting expenses, e.g. liberapay contributions, etc.?

@sunarch @wholesomedonut

Admin here.

1. We don't intend on reseting the world anytime soon, even with an upgrade. We do have an archive of the world that updated every once and while (I want to make it a weekly update, but archiving a world while it's running is more difficult than you'd think)

2. The server is really cheap, Only costing me $5 a month. I have some donation links on the website though.

@charadon @wholesomedonut Thank you for the info, found the links as well. I guessed that it didn't need large resources yet, but I'm trying to get in the habit of spreding $1 contributions around and encouraging others to do that as well. For most stuff, even some of the users doing that could cover operating costs, which could be motivating, even if the admin can afford the whole price themselves. Kind of like an investment towards a common future:)

@sunarch @wholesomedonut

I get ya. I do the same thing, giving a dollar a month to projects I use lol
