North Canal

The North Canal is a canal that goes from the spawn region to 100k on the -z axis, keeping the x coord at 0. It was created by the Canal Co-Op, on March 2021 and was expanded to the original planned distance (10k) in less than a month. After that it was planned to continue with other axis but that didnt really work out, so the remaining efforts went silently spent expanding the North Canal, which now reaches 100k.

# The construction of the canal

### The start of the canal, idea and first days:

The idea of a canal became a reality when BigManReef suggested the construction of a structure at spawn. After a while, the construction of a canal was suggested and immediately started the 23th of March 2021. A lot of active players came to spawn to see what was happening and help build it. Because of that, the canal got to 1k at the end of the first day. (The first Cafe de la Nameless was also built on the first day)

But the canal soon encountered a big problem, all of the artificial oceans that had been created on the axis. Those had to be removed for the canal to advance. Still, on the 2nd day (the 24th) the canal reached 2k and there was a small party to celebrate it (screenshot and info about bases and events later on)

On the 25th, the canal expansion was as active as ever, as at the end of the day, the oceans above the canal were drained until 7k out, while the canal itself was built and filled up with water as far as 6.5k out. The second Cafe de La Nameless was also built this day.

The 26th started badly for the canal members, as the 2nd Cafe was gone (griefed by tebee) but a solution was quickly found, the 3rd Cafe de la Nameless was created, as a more permanent base away from the canal itself. Still the canal expanded to 7.1k out on the 26th, as all oceans were drained until 9k out.

The next day, improvements and construction were seen on the 3rd cafe, and the creation of the Canal Co-Op mapart started. The canal was expanded to 8.4k and a small party was held for the members of the Canal Co-Op at the 8k mark.

The 28th didnt see much activity, but on the 29th, 10k was finally reached, and the canal mapart was finished. The Canal Co-Op decided to focus on the East canal, which only got as far as 200 blocks away from 00, and got destroyed by withers shortly after its creation.

On the 30th, EficaciousMig47 spammed the Canal Co-Op mapart at spawn.

### The decline of the canal and attempts to continue it, present:

April saw the decline of activity of the group, as the main objective was already reached (10k out on the -z axis) and no one wanted to continue with the East canal, as it was easily destroyed by withers due to it being so close to spawn.

The 3rd cafe saw more buildings being added, farms and the start of another mapart (most of that built by Eficacious), but all of these builds stopped shortly after, as Eficacious stopped playing around the 20th of april.

A month had passed, and Eficacious had returned to TVE, and around the 12nd of May 2021 he tried to rebuild the 2nd Cafe de la Nameless at Z=-9300. It was finished on the 14th, and griefed shortly after. The canal itself now reached 11k as someone had been secretly expanding it.

Later visits to the North canal saw that it was getting expanded secretly, as a visit in October 2021 revealed that the canal reached 70k out, and a later visit in April 2022 revealed that it now reached 100k.

This is a list of all the structures built by the Canal Co-Op both on the canal and far from it:

* The first Cafe de la Nameless
* 2nd Cafe on the 25th, before the grief
