Tukolh (spawn base)

*This article refers to the Tukolh spawn base, what is commonly known as just Tukolh. If you are searching for the Tukolh region analysis, check here.*

The Tukolh spawn base, or commonly known as Tukolh or just tukol was one of the msot important spawn bases in TVE history, being the main point of activity on TVE, since its creation just after the Fifth Spawn Party (late September 2022), up until the last months of TVE.

# History of the Tukolh spawn base:

## Creation and first months (September-October 2022)

Tukolh was created on the 18th of September 2022. It was the last attempt Efic made to start a succesfull spawn base, using the small activity created by the Fifth Party, held a week before, as the start of the activity. The Spawn Nomads joined Efic and helped on the start of the base.

After a decent first week, with just activity from Whipster, the Spawn Nomads and 1 or 2 new players, tukolh becomes inactive, seeming like another failed attempt at a base that doesn't keep going on its own. Only a small ammount of building were done at this point:

* The Central hub (which became the main entrance to the underground part of tukol later on), made by Efic.
* A birch building, which later hosted a small obsidian jail, made by Efic.
* A big storage building, made by Whipster.
* A small room below The Central hub, made by Efic.
* The crops hole and farming room, made by Efic.
* The quartz fountain/temple, by Whipster.
* The medieval tower (and the castle), by Whipster.
* One of the copies of Efic's Anarchyville tower (made after the screenshot)
* The Productive Hole (made behind the medieval tower) (made after the screenshot)

Here we can see how tukol looked on the 3rd of October 2022:

From the right, we can see the quartz fountain/temple, the medieval tower and castle, the crops hole, the birch building/jail, The Central hub, and the storage building. We can also see some smaller structures, like bridges, piers, etc...

This period ends with the first grief of Tukol, on the 21st of October 2022, when a new period starts.

## Development and conflicts (21st October 2022-December 2022)

A month after the start, tukolh sees more activity, as new players (FitFC, felipezambuja and others) join and become active, as well as Nomads & Friends, who starts damaging tukolh, while Spawn Nomads defends it.

At this moment is when Tukolh saw most of its growth, with the creation of most of the central and border parts of Tukolh, most of which were destroyed and had to be rebuilt, or redone with entirely different buildings with the griefs of Nomads & Friends later on.

### First grief (21st October 2022 - 6th November 2022)

The first grief that tukol suffered was a small one, done by Nomads & Friends, and was shortly followed by another small one at the end of the day. Both only caused a small damage that got repaired on the next week, with the hunting of some of the griefers by Spawn Nomads.

The buildings completely destroyed by the griefs were:

* None

The buildings damaged but rebuilt/reused after the griefs were:

* The medieval tower and the castle.
* Efic's anarchyville tower.
* The quartz temple.
* The wall of the crops hole.

The new buildings being made on this period were:

* The island of crops, by ducki3ziscoolman
* The stone colliseum, by WhipsterStain
* The brick/stone house near the island, by felipezambuja.
* The floating obsidian signs, by Spawn Nomads (mostly).
* A tunnel that connected the crops with the underground room of tukol, by Efic.

Here we can see how tukol looked on the 26th of October 2022:

On the last days of this period of growth, a new part of the base was started between the quartz temple and the island. A small, three story house (named "la eficasa") was built by Efic, along with an enchantment room and a farm nearby. On the top of the nearby hill, an Amongus sculpture was also built, to guard and protect tukol.

This period ended with the new griefs done by Nomads & Friends, after the 6th of November. This griefs changed Tukol forever, starting a new era on the Tukol spawn base.

### Big griefs & war between Tukol members and Nomads & Friends (6th November 2022- December 2022)

This period covers most of the griefs done at tukol, as well as most of the conflict that happened there. In this period, most of the structure and looks of Tukol changed drastically, as some builds were destroyed, while others were rebuilt or new ones were built where ruins remained. Tukol also saw a peak in player activity in this moment, with players often staying at the base to watch out for griefers (or players hunting them), others rebuilding bases, building new ones, or gearing for the expected combat.

This period started with a small grief on the morning of the 6th of November, with just 2 or 3 small explosions. But on that same night, a bigger grief had been done, as the last buildings made (the ones made after the 27th Oct) were almost entirelly wiped out. For that reason, Efic decided to remove the rest of the griefed houses of "la Eficasa", and start a new one, which served as a boat storage/indoor pier.

This 2 new griefs put the Spawn Nomads on alert, as Chile Curtido had already been trapped in the end, and the rest of Nomads & Friends were inactive/also trapped. The truth was that, in the shadows, Nomads & Friends had reached out to neutral players who also had a special "love" for gite, recruiting most of those players (like RJthatsme or PunitiveDamages). This were the actual players who griefed Tukol on this period, blaming gite and the Spawn Nomads cooperation on tukol as the cause of the griefs.

The buildings completely destroyed by the griefs were:

The buildings damaged but rebuilt/reused after the griefs were:

## Underground building (December 2022)

After seeing that most of its activity above ground had been griefed, and after most griefs had been done, most of the players stopped being active, with only Efic and sometimes FitFC, Felipe or Spawn Nomads left to help with the rebuilds. Efic decided to build below ground, to counteract the griefs, as destroying the base below ground would have been harder than destroying ablove ground builds.

After the lack of activity on the start of December 2022, the griefs stopped too, with the last one being mostly harmless as it just removed the remaining terrain, leaving the 2 or 3 still standing builds intact (though most of the builds were already griefed before so they didn't leave much standing). The terrain was restored, and new builds were started again, mostly below ground. At this moment, the buildings/underground rooms made were:

* a

## Slow and steady progress (December 2022-February 2023)

After the small period of underground builds done on December 2022, Tukol suffered a small but steady progress, with the rebuild of different buildings, and creation of a bunch of new ones, with Efic being the most active player on this period (but with buildings from other players such as WhipsterStain too). The Moliokalnas route was also done during this period of slow but steady growth. The buildings being made in this period were:

## Small tree war, spark of activity and final development (March 2023)

After the slow progress of the last 2 months, Tukol saw a small spark of activity in March, with SkeeverEyes returning to TVE, and making new buildings, being joined by FitFC and Efic.

In this period, Tukol becomes the center of the Tree war, a war that saw a fight between the trees established in tukol, with the invasion of tundra trees (not native to the area) and the fights between oak, birch and the invasive spruce trees. The war ended with the creation of the acacia church, a symbol of union that held a tree of each type inside it, as a way to reconcile the different species.

The buildings being done in this period were:
