Day two was spent with more yard maintenance aka grass pulling.  Not really worthy of it's own post...

But day three was the first day i decided to work on terraforming.  The goal is to flatten the land to make building easier.  I dropped a few floor ghosts to gauge the progress.  As you can see there is a nice level area about the size of a small house.  This isn't good enough for larger structures, so I will break here and relocate the totem onto the flattened land area.

Sorry for another night time shot, but I wanted to show the totem after relocating it onto the flattened land.  There are no gamma controls in game for lighting so the nights will be visibly darker than the days.  Please note that, since you have to disband the tribe to relocate the totem, you will want to make this kind of decision very early on so as to not cause members confusion or discomfort.  I am still solo so it's no big deal at this time; but I do hope to start looking for members to help with projects down the road in the coming weeks.

This blog is a diary of the daily adventures of Nezdar, a veteran player in the world of Xsyon.  Xsyon is a wonderful, sandbox game which aspires to one day be an MMO.  The world is interactive, the depth of play is immense but Xsyon lacks players.

I will attempt to relay highlights from my daily gameplay which may be of some use to new players. Hoperfully I can also attract some attention to the game and help increase the number of people who actively play.

Day one.  I've decided to conquer the mountains of Xsyon by creating a mountaintop tribe.  The view is wonderful with the lake in the distance.  I've finally managed to hail two carts to the top of the mountain where I hope to build a nice home for myself.  You can also see in the image two large piles of grass.  Picking grass is the first stop in creating a homestead, many of the structures will use grass twine and rope so having a supply on hand is good.  But more importantly, since grass is a resource that is slow to re-spawn in the game, it should not be wasted.  Before terraforming a large area, I will stock up on this resource so that I don't waste it while terraforming.
