Project Populus

**Project Populus** is an ongoing project by Peytonador in Two Egg. Its main goal is to repopulate all three Eggian villages and to ensure village quality and safety. It is based in Peytonador's Autobreeder.

## History

Shortly after founding, the main village was swarmed in a zombie raid. The iron golem was killed, and the villagers eradicated. The first Populus plan was to repopulate by breeding villagers from TroyTR and jarebear. A villager was taken from Jarebear's Autobreeder and nicknamed "Maurice". TroyTR was paid to give a villager, and cheated one in using spawn eggs. It was killed before reaching the village. Another one was given, and a family of four was bred. However, a baby zombie killed all but one. The remaining villager was fenced off, but a crafting table was placed near the fence and zombies used it to eliminate the village once more.

The second populus mission was to netherlift them from the nearby village (Now named Jeffington City). An autobreeder was created there, and was somewhat successful, but was rarely loaded. The villagers were later relocated to the main village, although some died in the process. There was a temporary breeder set up at the main village. In once incident, every villager escaped into the nether. Two were brought back successfully, as there were multiple casualties. Some villagers were loaded into an iron farm, but a 1.14 glitch caused them to despawn. A husk managed to break into the breeder through a hole in the roof and killed the villagers. They then burned to death in the sunlight, leaving the husk. The husk was trapped in a boat and killed with TNT, destroying the breeder.

The third populus mission was to netherlift the villagers from the third village of Bettendorf. A set of two villagers disappeared once, but were replaced. After the iron farm was completed, plans for a massive autobreeder were made. Construction began on February 12, with a single message reading, "Big One's Comin". The next day light gray concrete and glass were placed. The purpose of the structure was revealed on February 17 as the "Ultimate Autobreeder'. Villagers were moved in, and the temporary breeder was destroyed. Exterior was finished on February 19, and functionality had begun. Massive amounts of villagers were bred and traded with, giving Peytonador the strongest villager population and security on the server.

On 25 of February, two master masons were moved into a new shop in the main village, and a subscription was announced, with the intention to make more of the shops available. The village of bettendorf had been reduced to 3 villagers by 28 of March. The village was chosen to conduct a raid, and two of the villagers were poorly secured, leading to a single villager remaining, officially meeting requirements for Populus aid.

## Future

Populus is in no way finished. Plans for a zombification and healing chamber underneath the breeder have been suggested, as well as interest in the Librarian department. As of April 2020, the only trades the populus villagers are fluent in are Masonry and Farming. More shops are to be constructed in Two Egg. There is also the idea of villager selling, brought on my Maquackadack.
