Crater Village

**Crater Village** is one of three suburbs that were released in Seacraft 2.4. The suburb neighbours Crater Plains. Uniquely, the suburb and its structures have been built in and around craters from explosions. Crater Plains was originally named after these craters before the village was founded.

## Features

### Town square

Crater Plains features a town square called Zossimov Square which features a small marketplace. The square also has direct access to the Crater Council Council Crater and the Crater Village train station.

### Crater Council Council Crater

The Crater Council Council Crater is the council chambers of the Crater Council. It features a large crater with a wooden walkway around the edges connected to various rooms in the crater walls.

### Train station

The Crater Village train station has two platforms that link to the Mainland Line, giving direct railway access to Crater Plains and the Bombing Mines.

## History

### Prior to 2.4

First activity in the area was when Zossimov2000 first built a house there called the Snorlax Lair during late Beta. Eventually this house and much of the area around it was blown up, leaving massive craters in the landscape.

The area then became part of the Crater Plains suburb when it was first released in Seacraft 2.3.

### Fixing up the area

The area was very destroyed when the owners first started to change the area. First, a sand dam was built to prevent water from flowing in to the lower half of the suburb.

Then, houses were made. Many of these were built in and around craters, including the council building for the "Outer Reaches Council", which was later renamed to the "Crater Council".

#### Sir\_Azza's Developments

Sir\_Azza took up the role as mayor for the Crater Council. He started by making lots of gardens, particularly on the roofs of houses. He also expanded the suburb a bit and got zac5 to build a castle.

The suburb was then released for Seacraft 2.4.

### Version 3 developments

Upon the release of Seacraft 3.0, SirAbrahamy (formerly Sir\_Azza) reclaimed his position as mayor of Crater Council. While overhauling the neighbouring suburb of Crater Plains, destroyed a few structures in Crater Village, including a swimming pool and the castle.

SirAbrahamy then had the idea to expand the town by draining the neighbouring bay area and creating a dam. In October 2022, construction began on the roads and some houses in this new expansion, built by SirAbrahamy and ZacNVR.

In November, ZacNVR built the new Crater Village train station as part of the overhaul to the Railway Network.

In January 2023, SirAbrahamy and ZacNVR built a park in the lower area of the village in front of the dam. This park was named Requiem Park. Additionally, they added water features at the bottom of the main staircase.

SirAbrahamy destroyed the old council chambers for the Crater Council, with intentions of building a new one. He and ZacNVR discussed ideas until they settled on building a large crater with the various council facilities built into the crater wall. It began construction on the 23rd of May 2023, and was finished on the 31st. It was dubbed the ‘Crater Council Council Crater’.

The 31st of May also saw construction of a new town square. It was built out the front of the train station and the council crater, replacing some of the existing roads. A few market stalls were also built atop the square. It was named ‘Zossimov Square’ in honour of Zossimov2000 who had first settled in the area.

ZacNVR also took the site of the old train station and turned it into an underground park of sorts. SirAbrahamy extended it to the other side of Renovation Road, which ran over the top of the alcove.
